Let you be a great man, not a scumbag

After saying this, Jiang Cheng patted Lin Chen's shoulder with a roguish grin, then winked at Qiu Yihe beside him. Without waiting for Lin Chen's response, he withdrew his hand.

He turned around, put his arm around Chloe, and walked away.

The movements were fluid and seamless, without a single unnecessary pause.

The wind blew from the tarmac, lifting the hem of his trench coat.

Chloe stood beside him, a few strands of her long golden hair ruffled by the wind. She tilted her head and smoothed them down, a casual and natural movement.

Jiang Cheng had just taken a few steps with Chloe when Zhou Yang jogged up to catch up, a professional smile on his face, but sweat was already beading on his forehead.

“Young Master Jiang,” he said in a low voice, his tone extremely cautious, “um… we were delayed a bit, and the takeoff window from the control tower has already passed.”

After saying this, he subconsciously swallowed.

When Mr. Xavier's private jet takes off, it's not like you can just fly whenever you want.

Each time slot is reported and coordinated in advance; if you miss it, you have to queue again.

What does requeuing mean?

It means waiting.

It can take anywhere from one or two hours to...

But could he just tell Jiang Cheng, "You'll have to wait"?

No.

So he could only raise the question first and see how this man would react.

Jiang Cheng paused, turning his head to glance at him.

His eyes were devoid of emotion; he simply glanced at her.

"Passed?" Jiang Cheng's tone was very casual, as if he were asking how the weather was today.

Zhou Yang nodded, forcing a smile: "Yes, um...why don't you sit for a while, I'll go and talk to the control tower to see if we can cut in line—"

He himself wasn't sure about what he was saying.

Cutting in line?

Cutting in line at the business jet terminal of Beijing Capital International Airport?

Do you think this is a farmers' market?

But what could he do? He couldn't just say, "You'll have to wait."

Jiang Cheng listened without saying a word.

He then took out his phone, scrolled through it a couple of times, found a number, and dialed it.

The call was connected very quickly.

Jiang Cheng spoke, his tone still lazy: "Uncle Lin, it's me, Jiang Cheng. I'm at the business jet terminal. My takeoff window has passed. Could you please tell the control tower to reschedule for me?"

Zhou Yang couldn't hear what was said on the other end of the phone.

He only saw Jiang Cheng say "hmm" twice, and then hang up.

It took less than thirty seconds in total.

Zhou Yang was stunned, waiting for Jiang Cheng's reply.

"Let's go, we're taking off in five minutes, it'll be about time to get to boarding..."

After putting his phone back in his pocket, Jiang Cheng put his arm around Chloe and continued walking forward.

Zhou Yang stood there, his mind a little blank.

He subconsciously glanced at Jiang Cheng's back, then at the tablet in his hand.

The status is still displayed as "Pending Coordination".

No way, really?

He hasn't received your message yet...

As soon as he finished speaking, a message popped up on the tablet.

[Air Traffic Control: Flight DFC6619, departure window has been reassigned, time xxxx, crew please take your positions.]

Zhou Yang stared at the message, his pupils dilating slightly.

five minutes.

It really was five minutes.

Looking up at the figure that was almost at the boarding stairs, I suddenly realized that my earlier comment about "cutting in line" was a bit ridiculous.

Why are you cutting in line?

They simply rearranged the queue.

I go! !

Qiu Yihe stood there watching Jiang Cheng's retreating figure, her smile widening once more.

Logically speaking, she should be feeling worried right now.

After all, Jiang Cheng was facing the Lin family.

Although the Jiang family is powerful, the Lin family is not easy to control either.

Making it look so ugly actually makes none of them good.

However, Jiang Cheng's criticism of Lin Chen was partly due to his own actions.

Although Jiang Cheng is a scumbag, it is precisely because he is a scumbag that...

Even with so many women surrounding him, he would still get into conflicts with others because of her.

Does this mean she holds a place in Jiang Cheng's heart, or that Jiang Cheng cares about her deeply...?

"Young Master Lin, Miss Lin, thank you for bringing me here. I can get on the plane myself. I'll treat you to dinner next time I'm in Kyoto..."

After exchanging a few polite words, the three of them forced a smile and Qiu Yihe immediately boarded the plane through the VIP gate with a bag of luggage.

As he watched Qiu Yihe's plane taxi to the runway, the composed smile on his face vanished.

Looking at her brother's gloomy face, which was almost dripping with gloom, Lin Huiyin suddenly felt like laughing.

Her brother has probably never suffered such injustice in his life.

Although I felt a little reluctant, I couldn't help but smile.

He was so angry that he couldn't even bring himself to say, "Who do you think you are?"

She used to think this was called good manners.

Now I suddenly feel that this is what it means to be... too well disciplined.

Lin Jianwei was not as angry as Lin Chen.

On the contrary, she found this man named Jiang Cheng quite interesting.

She was also looking into the distance.

However, they weren't looking at Qiu Yihe's plane, but at the other side.

Over there, Jiang Cheng was putting his arm around Chloe as they boarded a private jet.

The boarding stairs weren't high, so Chloe went up first, followed by Jiang Cheng. Halfway up, they suddenly stopped and looked back in their direction.

His expression was obscured by the large portion of the tarmac.

But Lin Jianwei knew he was smiling.

She couldn't help but curl her lips into a smile again.

As a member of the Lin family, she knew her brother's thoughts all too well.

Last night at the dinner party, I was practically glued to him, and today I eagerly came to "see him off" at the airport.

He even made a point of including her in order not to seem too abrupt.

Their true intentions are crystal clear.

But now?

Time and again, Jiang Cheng teased her mercilessly in front of her.

She should be angry.

After all, he was her own brother.

Lin Chen finally noticed her expression and frowned: "What are you laughing at?"

Lin Jianwei withdrew her gaze and said indifferently, "It's nothing."

Jiang Cheng.

After silently repeating the name in her mind, she suddenly felt something was wrong.

From the moment Jiang Cheng appeared until now, that slight smile on her lips seems to have never truly disappeared...

On the way back.

Lin Chen sat in the back seat, looking out the window, without saying a word.

Lin Jianwei sat next to him without saying a word.

The car drove out of the airport and onto the highway.

The scenery of Kyoto flashed past the car window, bustling, quiet, and a little chilly.

After a long while, Lin Jianwei suddenly spoke:

"elder brother."

Lin Chen turned his head to look at her.

Lin Jianwei didn't look at him, but kept looking out the window, her tone very soft:

"Aren't you envious of him?"

Lin Chen was taken aback: "Who?"

"Jiang Cheng."

The moment those two words entered the carriage, the air fell silent for a few seconds.

Lin Chen did not answer.

He just stared at his sister's profile, trying to glean something from her face.

Lin Jianwei finally turned her head and met his gaze.

His gaze was calm, as if he were just asking a casual question.

But Lin Chen knew that his younger sister never asked "casual" questions.

He was silent for a moment before saying, "What do you envy about him?"

Lin Jianwei said, "That phone call just now."

Lin Chen smiled: "You mean the matter of scheduling flights? What their family can do, our family can do too..."

Lin Jianwei continued, "That's true. I'm not saying our family is incompetent. What I want to ask is, he got the departure window sorted out in five minutes with just one phone call. Do you think you would make that call if it were you?"
