Urban drama: Starting with marrying the beautiful and wealthy Jiang Lai

If I had known you were this kind of girl, I would never have let Qingfeng associate with you!

This old woman is so suffocatingly neurotic.

Lin Jie, though gentle on the outside, is strong on the inside and stubborn in character. She is not backing down at all. She leans her head on Cao Meng's shoulder and makes an intimate gesture, speaking to Xu Xiulan with a proud look.

"Auntie, my boyfriend is too outstanding, much more outstanding than your son. I'm afraid that if I'm even slightly reserved, I'll lose him."

My boyfriend owns several companies, has a net worth of billions, owns a large villa of over 1000 square meters, and drives a Ferrari LASAA and a Rolls-Royce Phantom!

Xu Xiulan pouted and said, "He's so young, how can he have so much money?"

Lin Jie, your aunt advises you to keep your eyes open and see things clearly, lest you end up with a swindler!

Lin Jie snorted and said, "If Auntie doesn't believe me, she can go outside and see that Rolls-Royce Phantom."

Look who this is, isn't she pretty? She's my best friend, Li Na, and also my boyfriend's assistant.

"Without a fortune, how could someone afford such a beautiful assistant?"

At this moment, Lin Jie was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, having shaken off the humiliation she felt from being kicked out by Xu Xiulan a few days ago.

Xu Xiulan was unwilling to be defeated like this. She couldn't accept that a woman she had driven away from her boyfriend could find such a good boyfriend.

She squinted at her and sneered, "If you hadn't introduced this girl, Li Na, I wouldn't have seen through your scheme."

Let me guess, you two are definitely not boyfriend and girlfriend; instead, this guy is your best friend's boyfriend.

She just wanted to spite me, so she used her best friend's boyfriend to save face!

At this point, Xu Xiulan let out a sarcastic, sharp laugh and shouted, "Hahahaha, Lin Jie, you are really ridiculous!"

"So what if my son dumped her? Is it really worth making such a fuss? Treating your best friend's boyfriend like your own—aren't you ashamed?!"

Lin Jie was absolutely furious with this crazy woman, Xu Xiulan.

Many people have come to watch, and many of them believe what Xu Xiulan said, looking at her with contempt.

"This woman is so vain, it's shameful!"

"How pathetic that she would pretend to be her best friend's boyfriend!"

Lin Jie knew at this point that if she didn't do something, she would die and couldn't stay in the hospital any longer.

She immediately thought of a way to prove herself.

She suddenly reached out her slender hand, grabbed Cao Meng's collar, and pulled him by the neck.

Then she stood on her tiptoes...

The two of them kissed like a couple.

Cao Meng was stunned; he had actually been forcibly kissed!

He was forcibly kissed by a woman who had previously been cold and distant towards him.

At this moment, he was especially grateful to Xu Qingfeng and Xu Qingfeng's mother, Xu Xiulan.

Without the unconventional help of these two people, how could I have gotten to this point with Lin Jie so quickly?

He immediately concealed his surprise, cupped Lin Jie's face in his hands, and gave her a passionate French kiss...

Lin Jie was stunned. This bastard was really pushing his luck!

She only intended to try it out briefly and prove something to the people present, but this guy actually dared to push his luck.

But she doesn't dare to fall out with Cao Meng now, otherwise she will become a laughing stock and suffer social death, leaving her with no choice but to let Cao Meng take advantage of her.

At that moment, everyone was petrified.

Does that mean the two people aren't a couple?

"They're kissing so passionately in public, can people who aren't boyfriend and girlfriend really do something this outrageous?!"

Xu Xiulan was completely bewildered. She never expected that they were actually boyfriend and girlfriend. This woman had actually found such a wealthy husband after breaking up with her son!

Only then did Xu Xiulan realize that Lin Jie was beautiful, had a great figure, beautiful skin, a sweet smile, was virtuous and capable, good at managing a household, and gentle and generous...

Thinking about all the good qualities this girl had, she should have been a good match for my son, but my intense jealousy ruined it!

Now she's become the girlfriend of such a rich man.

Xu Qingfeng, who was standing some distance away, felt as if his heart was being torn apart when he saw this scene.

Before this, he had wanted to kiss Lin Jie several times, but he couldn't because his mother suddenly showed up. Now, this kid got the chance.

Cao Meng not only gained an advantage, but a huge one, thanks to the system's reward.

"Ding dong! Congratulations to the master for successfully winning the first step (first base hug) of the beautiful doctor Lin Jie while lying down."

The master is rewarded with intermediate medical skills, roughly equivalent to Lin Jie's level.

Congratulations, Master, on successfully winning the second step (second base kiss) with the beautiful doctor Lin Jie.

The reward is the ability to hide one's superhuman abilities. This ability will prevent enemies from noticing when there is any possibility that the owner might reveal their extraordinary abilities.

During a physical examination, their levels will be slightly above average, but this will not pose any risk!

Cao Meng breathed a sigh of relief, no longer afraid of being targeted by Americans and used as a guinea pig.

Chapter 154 Learning from Gan Jing's sudden death, he refused to be the boyfriend of the beautiful doctor!

Xu Xiulan, after all, came from that era and had a rather old-fashioned personality. She simply couldn't imagine what outrageous things young people today would do for the sake of face and dignity.

Seeing how inseparable Lin Jie and Cao Meng were, she immediately believed it to be true, thinking that Lin Jie and Cao Meng were a real couple.

Now people's opinions have reversed, and they are all sending their blessings to Lin Jie and Cao Meng.

Those who knew the inside story, in particular, pointed fingers at Xu Xiulan.

"Lin Jie has really had a tough time. She and Xu Qingfeng were such a perfect match, but because of Xu Xiulan, who was afraid that her son would be taken away, she forcibly separated them!"

"Exactly! This woman is just too much! Lin Jie is so perfect, and she doesn't even cherish such a good wife. Now that she has a new boyfriend, she's still criticizing her!"

"Speaking of which, Xu Qingfeng is really unlucky to have such a mother. No matter how good a wife he is, he can't keep her. She can only be taken by other men!"

Hearing people's comments, Xu Qingfeng felt as if his heart was being torn apart. He probably originally thought that Lin Jie was just okay, not his soulmate, and that it wouldn't matter if they broke up. But seeing Lin Jie in Cao Meng's arms, he still felt very uncomfortable.

Hearing the whispers of the people, Xu Qingfeng's mother, Xu Xiulan, felt even worse. How could she have lost such a good daughter-in-law?

But she refused to admit her mistake and left grumbling.

Lin Jie was already lost in the French breakfast kiss that Cao Meng had given her.

Lin Jie, now nearly 30 years old, has never had such a passionate date with a man before.

And it happened in front of everyone in the hospital, but Cao Meng still managed to pull her in, and the two of them kissed as if no one else was around.

It wasn't until someone took out their phone to film the two kissing that Cao Meng realized what was happening. He immediately let go of Lin Jie, took her hand, and quickly walked away.

Once the photos of him and Lin Jie kissing were posted online, some bored netizens would dox him, easily discovering that he was seeing multiple women at the same time, and all sorts of things that were detrimental to him would escalate.

So even though Cao Meng is now the owner of the famous internet-famous restaurant Haidilao, he doesn't want to become an internet celebrity himself.

He does not accept any media interviews, refuses to take photos with anyone, and tries to keep a low profile.

He simply doesn't want others to turn him into a public figure and pry into his emotional life.

Once Cao Meng and Lin Jie reached a secluded spot, he let go of Lin Jie's hand, wiped his mouth, and said to her, "Lin Jie, I was just trying to help you save face and restore your dignity. Don't overthink it, and don't push your luck!"

Lin Jie was so angry she was shaking uncontrollably. She glared at Cao Meng and said, "You bastard, you bastard, you bastard! Who's pushing their luck? We just kissed on the lips, and you, you bastard, gave me a French kiss..."

I can still taste the chive pancakes you ate this morning in my mouth!

Thinking about this, Lin Jie didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It was her first real French kiss. At first, she was a little intoxicated, but she immediately realized that this guy's breath smelled a bit strong.

Is this guy a romance destroyer?

Cao Meng chuckled and said, "It's all your fault. Why did you include chive dumplings in the breakfast?"

Lin Jie was both amused and exasperated, realizing that she had essentially shot herself in the foot and was reaping the consequences of her own actions.

"But why don't you brush your teeth? If you're going to be my boyfriend, you have to brush your teeth before and after meals!"

Cao Meng was stunned. He hadn't expected that his expedient measure would actually make Lin Jie decide to make him her boyfriend!

He couldn't help but ask, "You're absolutely pushing your luck. I was just being polite to you so you wouldn't lose face in front of your ex-boyfriend and his mother. How can you expect me to be your boyfriend? Don't you hate me?"

Lin Jie shook her head with a wry smile and said, "If we kiss in front of so many people, what will they say when they ask you about it? Are you going to tell me we broke up?"

Cao Meng chuckled and said, "That's exactly what we'll say. We'll say we've broken up. You can say I'm fickle and promiscuous, and you can't stand it!"

Cao Meng had learned from his previous experience with Gan Jing and didn't want their relationship to progress too quickly. He never expected things to get this fast with the beautiful doctor Lin Jie. He instinctively felt like he was hitting the brakes.

Otherwise, we might repeat the same mistake, starting so quickly with Gan Jing, only to have it completely collapse now (the subscription service crashed).

Lin Jie shook her head very calmly and said, "Now everyone knows that I'm dating a rich boyfriend with billions in assets, several companies, and a Rolls-Royce Phantom. If I tell people that I think you're fickle and promiscuous and that I'm breaking up with you, they won't think I'm a virtuous and good girl. They'll just think that I was used and then abandoned by you."

"Like Xu Qingfeng's mother, who would constantly ridicule and mock me, I might face yet another form of social death..."

Cao Meng nodded approvingly and said, "That's great. You look fierce, but you're not all brawn and no brains. You see things very clearly. So, what do you want now?"

Lin Jie pouted and said, "Then you can continue pretending to be my boyfriend!"

Cao Meng pretended to be in a difficult position and said, "This is not right. How can I face my girlfriends if I do this!"

Lin Jie gritted her teeth and said with shame and indignation, "You used the term 'my girlfriends.' When you use 'them,' you've already wronged them. How could you be so unfair to me?"

At this point, Lin Jie turned to look at Li Na and asked, "Li Na, you don't mind if I have your boyfriend pretend to be my boyfriend, right?"

Li Na brought Lin Jie over to be the chef for two reasons: firstly, to satisfy everyone's culinary desires, and secondly, to make Lin Jie Cao Meng's girlfriend, just like Yang Tao introduced Lan Weiwei.

Now Li Na chuckled and said, "Of course I have no objection. I'd love for you two to take your on-screen romance off-screen and become a real couple!"

Lin Jie didn't hear any sounds of Cao Meng and his girlfriend on a date last night, and she didn't know how Cao Meng had managed to train his girlfriends like Li Na to be like that. Not only did they not object to his relationships with other women, but they also actively introduced their best friends to him. It felt very sinister.

She tilted her head and looked at Cao Meng cutely, saying, "If Li Na doesn't object, I'm sure your other girlfriends won't either. They all want me to cook delicious food for them, so what else could you possibly object to?"

Cao Meng shook his head and said, "What benefit would it bring me? I'm a businessman, and I never do anything without a profit."

Lin Jie, recalling the passionate French kiss Cao Meng had just given her, blushed deeply and said, "You bastard, you already took advantage of me! You've already gotten what you wanted!"

Cao Meng shook his head and said, "You're wrong. You benefited from it back then; it was a two-way street!"

Lin Jie gritted her teeth and said, "What exactly do you want? What benefits do you want?"

Cao Meng thought for a moment, then said seriously, "If you want me to continue pretending to be your boyfriend, then I must fulfill the duties of a boyfriend, and I must also exercise the rights of a boyfriend..."

Lin Jie immediately interrupted Cao Meng: "Don't even think about it!"

Cao Meng chuckled and said, "Otherwise, you'll be easily seen through, and you'll suffer social death. Only by being able to distinguish between falsehood and truth can you avoid being seen through!"

I don't care at all. Being found out won't affect me in the slightest, but you still have to work at this hospital. Are you sure it'll be alright?

Lin Jie thought that although the hospital was a very busy place, the doctors and nurses there were also exhausted and liked to gossip to pass the time.

They would steal moments from their busy schedules to spread all sorts of gossip, including gossip about the doctors, nurses, and patients.

Not to mention that Lin Jie is the most beautiful single female doctor in their hospital. Now, the whole hospital probably already knows that she has a rich and handsome boyfriend with a net worth of billions who drives a Rolls-Royce!

Sure enough, her best friend Tang Jiayu called to ask about her relationship.

"Lin Jie, congratulations! You've finally found love. I heard your boyfriend is a great catch and is currently at the hospital."

Why don't you bring him to our department and let me give him my opinion...?

Tang Jiayu is the incredibly beautiful, adorable, and funny Dr. Tang from "All About Dr. Tang." She looks remarkably like the stunningly beautiful Qin Lan. Whether she's wearing a shirt or a white coat, she's absolutely gorgeous.

(The reason I say Gan Jing died suddenly is that the book died prematurely because the main female character, Gan Jing, won too early, causing the book's subscriptions to plummet.)

Chapter 155 How could you cuckold Gan Jing!

Lin Jie thought for a moment and said to Tang Jiayu on the other end of the phone, "Okay, I'll take her there now!"

After hanging up the phone, she said to Cao Meng, "Before we go to the medical examination department, come with me to a place first. A close friend of mine wants to meet you!"

Cao Meng shook his head and said, "We haven't even discussed the benefits yet, and you're already in such a hurry to let me meet your best friend and fulfill my duties as your boyfriend. That's not appropriate!"

Lin Jie snorted and said, "Then what benefits do you want?"

Cao Meng is now in a dilemma: should he and Lin Jie move faster or slower?

He quickly realized that he needed to deal with Lin Jie as soon as possible, otherwise he wouldn't be able to achieve his big goal and wouldn't be able to get clues about his identity.

Cao Meng discovered that in addition to her talent for cooking, Lin Jie also had a talent for massage, possibly from her family's traditional Chinese massage techniques.

He then said, "You know how to give massages, right? Just give me a half-hour massage every day, that'll do!"

I really wanted to ask to exercise my rights as a boyfriend, but that would make the female doctor, who was already wary of him, react negatively.
