The Mysterious Night of Beijing

Grandpa flew into a rage, giving him and Jiang Xian'an a thorough dressing-down and issuing a strict order forbidding them from causing any more trouble for Lin Chuxiu.

Jiang Xian'an was confined to his home, his whole demeanor gloomy, and he didn't say a word.

His overseas port project was also ruined, the company lost a lot of money, and his uncles and cousins ​​were constantly making snide remarks at the dinner table, making his life very difficult.

Jiang Chiye himself had all his cards suspended by the old man, and could only stay at home every day, unable to go anywhere.

All of this is because of Lin Chuxiu.

The thought of that woman filled Jiang Chiye with both hatred and a burning desire.

He hated her for being ungrateful, daring to abandon the Jiang family and get involved with Meng Huizhou.

But he couldn't help but recall the image of her beneath him.

She is innocent, shy, and has a wild side.

That taste was so delicious that he couldn't get enough of it and still misses it to this day.

He scratched his hair in frustration and lit another cigarette.

Just then, the study door was pushed open.

Lin Lengyan walked in carrying a bowl of soup.

"Brother Chiye, I made you some soup. Have some. Don't smoke so much; it's bad for your health."

She was wearing a white lace nightgown, her long hair was draped over her shoulders, and her face was covered with delicate, natural-looking makeup, making her look pitiful.

These past few days, she has spent almost every day at the Jiang family home, staying by Jiang Xian'an's side, showing concern and tenderness.

Jiang Chiye looked at her, but his heart was not stirred.

He used to think that Lin Lengyan was the most beautiful girl in the world, his white moonlight.

But now, for some reason, he always felt that something was missing from her.

It lacked that feeling he both wanted to bully and cherish in the palm of his hand, which was about Lin Chuxiu.

"Just leave it there," he said casually.

Lin Lengyan placed the soup bowl on the table, but instead of leaving, she sat down next to him and reached out to take the cigarette from his hand.

"Stop smoking, okay?" Her voice was soft and sweet.

Jiang Chiye dodged her hand. "What's wrong?"

Lin Lengyan froze, her eyes immediately reddening. "Brother Chiye, do you also believe what those people online are saying is true? Do you hate me too?"

Jiang Chiye frowned.

He thought of Lin Chuxiu again.

Even when driven to the brink, that woman's eyes were always filled with stubbornness and a refusal to admit defeat, unlike Lin Lengyan who would cry at the drop of a hat.

"No," he said somewhat impatiently.

"Then why are you so cold to me?" Lin Lengyan persisted. "Is it because of my brother? Are you still angry with me for choosing your brother?"

"You haven't chosen yet, have you?" Jiang Chiye looked at her, then suddenly smiled. "Didn't you say you didn't want to hurt the bond between us brothers?"

Lin Lengyan was speechless after his question.

That's exactly what she said.

She liked Jiang Xian'an, but she didn't want to completely offend Jiang Chiye. She wanted to control both of the Jiang family's young masters.

But she didn't expect Jiang Chiye to expose her so directly.

"I……"

"Alright." Jiang Chiye stood up, not wanting to waste any more words with her. "I have something to do, you can go out now."

He walked to his desk, picked up his phone and car keys, and went straight out.

Lin Lengyan sat alone on the sofa, watching his resolute back, clenching her fists in anger.

Jiang Chiye, you just wait!

One day, I will make you kneel before me and beg for my life, like a dog!

Jiang Chiye drove his flashy Lamborghini aimlessly around the streets.

Although the old man had his credit card suspended, he still had a considerable amount of savings.

He didn't know where to go.

Those fair-weather friends are all avoiding him now, afraid of being implicated in the Jiang family's affairs.

He suddenly felt a bit bored.

He took out his phone and opened Lin Chuxiu's WeChat.

The woman still didn't reply to him.

An unnamed fire ignited in his heart.

He refused to believe that this woman could truly remain indifferent to him.

He thought for a moment and then made a video call.

The phone rang for a long time, and just when he thought the other party wouldn't answer, it was suddenly connected.

However, Lin Chuxiu's face did not appear on the screen.

It was a very ordinary scene in a university dormitory.

There was a bed above a desk, with the desk piled high with various chemistry books and materials.

Lin Chuxiu's phone was propped up on the desk, with the camera pointed at the dormitory ceiling.

Where is she?

Jiang Chiye frowned and said "Hello".

No one answered.

But he could hear a faint sound of pages turning on the other end of the phone.

There are also occasional conversations between girls.

"Xiuxiu, do you know how to do this problem? I've been stuck on it for ages."

"Let me see."

A cool, clear female voice rang out.

It is Lin Chuxiu.

She's actually studying?

She left him hanging and discussed the problem with other girls.

Jiang Chiye felt he had been humiliated like never before.

He looked into the phone and called out again, "Lin Chuxiu!"

This time, there was finally a response on the other end of the phone.

The girl named Zhao Jia seemed to have moved closer to the camera.

"Feed? Who is it? Are you looking for Xiuxiu?"

"Let her answer the phone." Jiang Chiye's tone was sharp.

"Who do you think you are? Why are you so rude?" Zhao Jia wasn't one to back down either. "Our Xiuxiu is busy, she doesn't have time for you!"

After saying that, the video call was immediately disconnected.

Jiang Chiye stared blankly at the black screen, completely dumbfounded.

He got banned?

He was actually hung up on by some wild girl who appeared out of nowhere?

"Hold!"

Enraged, he slammed his fist on the steering wheel, and the horn emitted a piercing long blast.

Jiang Chiye has never been treated like this in his entire life!

Lin Chuxiu, you're amazing! You're really amazing!

He gritted his teeth and dialed again.

This time, the call was rejected outright.

When I called again, the message said the other party's phone was switched off.

Jiang Chiye was so angry he almost crushed his phone.

He refused to believe he couldn't handle this woman!

He opened WeChat and typed a line of text in a flurry.

[Lin Chuxiu, don't push your luck. Do you think I can't do anything to you just because you're in Yanjing?]

Believe it or not, I'm coming to find you right now.

You better answer my call, or I'll make sure you can't stay at Peking University anymore.

He made every threat he could think of.

However, it all disappeared without a trace.

The other party didn't even bother to reply with a red exclamation mark.

Jiang Chiye was completely at a loss.

He leaned back in his chair, rubbing his temples in frustration.

He suddenly realized that he really seemed to have no way to deal with that woman.

You can't hit them. You can't scold them.

She's like a ball of cotton; you can hit her with all your might, but you can't change anything.

This feeling of powerlessness drove him crazy.

He couldn't understand how things had turned out this way.

In the past, that woman was always very careful in front of him, afraid of upsetting him.

Now, she dares to treat him like he's invisible.

Is it because of Meng Huizhou?

She thought that with Meng Huizhou backing her up, she could do whatever she wanted?

Jiang Chiye sneered.

What about Meng Huizhou?

No matter how capable he is, can he stay by her side 24/7?

If he wanted to, he would always find a way to get that woman back.
