I slept with the wrong person on my wedding night, and the boss spoiled me rotten!
Chapter 34 Going to the Lin Family to Annul the Engagement
In the car, Jiang Rusheng casually complained a few times, and Liang Yuan admitted her mistake very well, "I won't go back next time. I left at the last minute because I promised my cousin that I would go to the guesthouse to see her."
Although Jiang Rusheng had never met the cousin she mentioned, he still believed Liang Yuan.
The year Liang Yuan graduated from university, she was seventeen years old and taking the college entrance examination.
He saw a group of thugs bullying her on the roadside. They dared to act arrogantly on his turf, so Jiang Rusheng immediately fought with them.
In the end, in an attempt to avenge Liang Yuan, he accidentally went too far and injured one of the blond-haired men.
Not only did he lose money, but he also spent three years in prison for intentional assault.
It was just a chance encounter, a chance meeting where someone offered a helping hand, and that girl foolishly waited for him for three years.
After failing her college entrance exam, she stayed to take care of Jiang's parents, just to fulfill her filial duty to Jiang Rusheng.
Jiang Rusheng was deeply moved by this.
Lin Tingran only looked away after they had completely disappeared from sight.
"What are you looking at?" Gu Jingshen finally asked slowly.
Lin Tingran hurriedly turned around, "No, it's nothing. Jing Shen, the doctor said your injury needs to be observed for a few more days. Why don't we go to my house first? My parents also want to meet you."
Gu Jingshen thought for a moment, "Alright, I haven't seen Uncle and Aunt for a long time."
It's time to go and call off the engagement.
"Really? Then I'll go back to the hotel now to pack my bags, and we'll leave right away!"
Lin Tingran cheered and took out her phone to call home, "Hello, Mom, Jing Shen said he's coming to our house this afternoon..."
Gu Jingshen watched her retreating figure, his eyes gradually darkening.
He never acknowledged this fiancée.
His marriage was arranged by his mother when she was pregnant with him. If they were the same gender, they would become brothers or sisters; if they were different, they would become husband and wife.
Gu Jingshen had no choice.
In his first year of high school, his father sent Gu Jingshen to the Lin family for care, and he never returned.
For those three years, the Lin family treated them quite well.
Lin Tingran, however, never liked him. She thought he had stolen her parents' love and always opposed him.
If we disagree, we'll kick him out of the Lin family.
It's normal that the young lady has a bad temper and looks down on this country bumpkin.
Occasionally, Lin Tingran would smile at him, but she would always remind him, "Don't flatter yourself. I just don't want people to think that our Lin family is bullying an outsider."
For those three years, they spent almost every day together.
Somehow, the fact that Gu Jingshen was Lin Tingran's fiancé got out.
During that time, Lin Tingran was surprisingly friendly to him and always protected him.
Everyone said they were a pair of bickering lovers, and their relationship was eased.
When Gu Jingshen went abroad to study at the age of eighteen, the two completely lost contact.
To say he had no feelings at all wouldn't be accurate; Lin Tingran had even stood up for him before.
That figure looked just like that girl, so frail yet so brave.
Despite Lin Tingran's willful nature, Gu Jingshen always remembered her kindness.
After packing her luggage, Lin Tingran called Jiang Xuxu and asked if she wanted to come to her house for a couple of days.
Just as Jiang Xuxu was about to decline, she said, "Gu Jingshen is going too!"
She whispered, "This is the first time I've brought someone I like to meet you. Are you sure you don't want to come and see?"
She said that their parents were old friends, and they had known each other since childhood, but had lost contact with each other and had recently reunited.
Since Gu Jingshen had come back for a rare visit, he planned to accompany her home to visit her parents, making no mention of their childhood betrothal.
Jiang Xuxu hesitated, but eventually agreed to go together.
"Okay, we'll come pick you up in a bit. Are you home?" Lin Tingran asked knowingly.
Jiang Xuxu's whereabouts were all under her control.
She wanted Jiang Xuxu to witness her and Gu Jingshen's happiness with her own eyes.
Gu Jingshen sat silently to the side, because he also wanted to see Jiang Xuxu and was just worried about not having a reason to ask her.
Although he never needs a reason to do what he wants, he just doesn't want to take the initiative right now.
In the afternoon, they drove to Jiang Xuxu's house to pick her up.
When Lin's parents heard that their daughter was bringing her son-in-law home, they arranged for a driver to pick them up.
It takes two hours to drive from Qingzhen to the city center.
Lin Tingran and Gu Jingshen sat in the back seat, while Jiang Xuxu sat in the passenger seat.
Midway through the journey, Lin Tingran got carsick and had to move to the passenger seat, leaving Jiang Xuxu to sit in the back.
The car is spacious, with enough room for two people to fit two more.
Seeing this, Lin Tingran teased, "Xuxu, he told me everything about you and Jing Shen, so you don't need to be so reserved in front of me."
Jiang Xuxu looked at Gu Jingshen as if asking: What did you say to her?
Gu Jingshen didn't look at her, as if he didn't recognize her.
He didn't tell Lin Tingran anything; it was she who brought it up herself, saying that Jiang Xuxu was her best friend and that he had told her everything.
Actually, it was Liang Yuan who told her all of this.
Gu Jingshen casually replied, "Just to appease the elders."
This was Jiang Xuxu's idea, and it couldn't be made public. But now she seems unhappy about it.
Gu Jingshen was secretly delighted.
His gaze unconsciously drifted to Jiang Xuxu, who sat quietly beside him, as beautiful as a painting.
The passionate scene from that night flashed through his mind, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on his lips.
The space was small, but the heating was very strong.
Jiang Xuxu caught a glimpse of someone staring at her out of the corner of her eye, and her face flushed and her heart raced. She pretended to be calm and turned her face away to look out the window.
"Many people have to face being pressured by their parents to get married, it's really nothing."
Lin Tingran turned around to try and start a conversation, but no one responded.
After a few seconds of silence, Jiang Xuxu had no choice but to reply, "Yes, it's just to appease the elders, don't take it seriously."
"It's all that bastard Lu Chen's fault! If he hadn't messed around with other women, you two would have been married long ago after seven years together!"
After saying that, Lin Tingran pretended to cover her mouth and apologized in a low voice: "Xuxu, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring up that scumbag."
Jiang Xuxu smiled and said, "It's okay."
Seeing that she had responded, Lin Tingran continued enthusiastically, "But Xuxu, I heard he's already back working at Chuanhe. If he asks you to get back together, you absolutely mustn't agree!"
Jiang Xuxu glanced at Gu Jingshen's attitude subconsciously. His face was calm, and his gaze was fixed straight ahead.
"It's all in the past, I don't want to mention him."
As the car entered the highway, Lin Tingran felt a bit carsick and soon fell asleep.
Gu Jingshen didn't say a word the whole way.
Jiang Xuxu felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, yet she couldn't help but cherish this brief moment of close interaction.
She thought that she would get a divorce once she returned to Beicheng.
After returning from the Liang family, Jiang Xuxu was scolded by her mother, who said she shouldn't have talked back to her elders.
In the end, Liang Yuan said she had a way to persuade her parents to agree, and only then was she able to have some peace and quiet.
Jiang Rusheng's marriage was none of her business, and there was no need for her to stay. It just so happened that she needed to go to Kangcheng Hospital in the city.
Jiang Xuxu stroked the jade pendant in her hand, the one her father had held tightly in her hand when he found her.
"We didn't tell you before because your parents couldn't bear to part with you. Now that you're all grown up, you have the right to find your biological parents."
Jiang Huai said that he found her in a trash can at the entrance of Kangcheng Hospital, and perhaps they could look for clues there.
Lin Tingran's mother also worked at Kangcheng Hospital.
As a former senior director at Kangcheng Hospital, Aunt Lin should be able to find some information about her background.
Thinking this, Jiang Xuxu also drifted off to sleep.
When she woke up again, she was leaning on Gu Jingshen's shoulder, with one hand supporting her forehead.
