Urban Film and Television: Jiang Lai is the Top Choice

Upon hearing Yang Chu's words, Lu Yuan quickly replied, "Hey! Hey! Hey! What are you saying at such a young age?"

"Isn't that right? For someone like me who has no ties, what's the difference between staying in a hotel and staying at home?"

Lu Yuan opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. Actually, the two of them were quite similar; they were both carefree and it didn't matter where they lived.

Yang Chu roughly guessed what Lu Yuan was thinking, and with a mischievous smile, he teased, "You don't mean to think you're similar to me, do you?"

"Did you plant a bug in my mind? How do you know what I'm thinking?"

Yang Chu chuckled and said, "Your situation is quite different from mine. At least you have someone to care about, someone to entrust your children to, and responsibilities to fulfill. Don't put yourself on the same level as me."

When Yang Chu mentioned what he was worried about, he nodded towards Gan Jing.

When Lu Yuan saw the direction Yang Chu was pointing, he looked over and could only chuckle foolishly.

Gan Jing rolled her eyes at Yang Chu and said, "My current boyfriend is Jiang Haokun. You'd better stop talking nonsense. If Haokun finds out, he'll definitely be unhappy."

"You're right. The love-hate entanglement between the three of you is not something I can joke about. But... you should sort things out as soon as possible! The longer it drags on, the more problems will arise."

As soon as Yang Chu finished speaking, Lu Yuan said irritably, "Alright, don't get involved in our business. Just take care of Jiahe."

After saying that, he looked at Gan Jing and said, "If there's nothing else, let's go!"

Gan Jing nodded and said, "Since he's not in a hurry to buy a house, let's go back first!"

After Gan Jing and the others left, Yang Chu finally understood why Lu Yuan didn't want him to talk about the complicated relationship between the three of them. It was simply because he was afraid of bringing up Lu Yuan's imprisonment.

After some time, Yang Chu got his driver's license and was finally able to drive openly.

On the day Yang Chu got his driver's license, he happily tossed all his books aside and took a nice nap in bed.

In the evening, Lu Yuan called.

"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"

"Did Jiahe go to your place?"

"No! Jiahe hasn't been here for the past few days. Is something wrong?"

“We found Jiahe’s mother the day before yesterday, but Jiahe’s mother has remarried and her family is not well-off. She also has two children and cannot accept Jiahe at all. I don’t know how Jiahe found out about this and went to see her mother in person. I don’t know the specifics of what happened. Jiahe’s condition has not been good for the past two days.”

As Yang Chu listened to Lu Yuan's words, he put on his clothes and said, "Where are you now? After I come and pick you up, we'll go find Jiahe first, and then we'll talk about it."

After Lu Yuan gave him an address, Yang Chu drove to find him.

When they found Peng Jiahe, they saw a young man drinking with Jiahe.

Lu Yuan went up and gave Peng Jiahe a good beating, finally pulling her out of the bar.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Yuan and Peng Jiahe started arguing.

Peng Jiahe sat by the roadside and burst into tears.

Lu Yuan was also having a bit of a headache, so he walked up to Peng Jiahe and said, "Actually, I'm quite envious of you. I'd like to vent like you, but I can't. I have to clean up my own mess. Peng Jiahe!"

Lu Yuan called out to Peng Jiahe, who glared at him fiercely like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and said, "What do you want?"

Lu Yuan wasn't angry. Instead, he looked at Peng Jiahe calmly and said, "Do you know what the biggest difference is between adults and children? It's that adults have to clean up their own messes. You'll be an adult in a few months, you'll be eighteen. You have to cherish this precious time of your adulthood, do you understand?"

Seeing that Lu Yuan had finished speaking, Yang Chu noticed that Peng Jiahe's emotions were no longer as agitated as before.

Yang Chu walked up to Peng Jiahe, hugged her, and said, "Go home obediently after you've vented. Your grandma will definitely worry if you run out like this without saying a word. Don't do this again next time."

While Yang Chu was saying these things, Peng Jiahe kept staring at Yang Chu. After Yang Chu finished speaking, Peng Jiahe buried her face in Yang Chu's shoulder and burst into tears.

It's unclear how much time passed, but Peng Jiahe must have cried herself to exhaustion.

Yang Chu looked at Lu Yuan and said, "You should take a taxi! I can't take both of you back together. I'll go see Jiahe and her grandmother tomorrow."

Lu Yuan nodded and went to flag down a car. After Yang Chu carried Peng Jiahe into the car, he said, "If you're ever in a bad mood, you can come to me. Don't run away alone anymore, understand?"

"I understand! I won't do it again."

Yang Chu nodded, patted Peng Jiahe's head, and then turned to Lu Yuan and said, "You should go back and rest early too! You must be tired after all that work lasting the night."

Lu Yuan nodded and got into a taxi and left.

Just then, a beautiful woman in a red trench coat and heavy makeup walked up to Yang Chu and asked, "Was that man your friend?"

Yang Chu nodded instinctively and looked at the person who had spoken.

I was shocked when I saw her! It was Jiang Lai! How did I run into her here?

As Yang Chu was secretly grumbling to himself, Jiang Lai looked at him and said, "Why do I feel like you know me?"

Yang Chu smacked his lips and nodded, saying, "I saw you on the plane back from the U.S. a while ago."

Jiang Lai looked at Yang Chu with some suspicion and asked, "Really?"

Yang Chu touched his nose sheepishly and said, "Don't you remember the one who just left?"

Jiang Lai shook her head and said, "I don't remember!"

"The man sitting next to you is holding an urn of ashes. The girl who was throwing a tantrum earlier is the one you wanted to upgrade him to a higher class."

After Yang Chu reminded her, Jiang Lai remembered.

"Were those two the ones who caused trouble on the plane the ones who just left?"

"Yes! I was sitting on the other side of the aisle, do you remember now?"

Jiang Lai chuckled self-deprecatingly and said, "What a small world, we meet again so soon."

Yang Chu smiled and said, "It's not that the world is small, it's that we..."

Yang Chu shook his head halfway through his sentence and didn't say anything more.

Jiang Lai smiled mischievously and said, "Are you trying to say we're destined to be together?"

"I originally wanted to say that we are destined to meet, but I was afraid you would misunderstand that I had ulterior motives, so I decided to keep quiet!"

"Oh? What ulterior motive would I possibly have?"

Yang Chu rolled his eyes speechlessly and said, "Isn't it just a matter between men and women?"
