Urban Film and Television: Jiang Lai is the Top Choice

Yang Xiaoyun looked at Xia Lin with a sour expression and asked, "You weren't the only one who went to the palace that day, were you?"

Charlene nodded calmly and said, "Forty or fifty for the first time, ten every six hours. Thirty thousand for six hours, fifty thousand for the whole day. Food, lodging and entertainment are included. Is there anything else you want to ask?"

Xia Lin also sensed the sourness in Yang Xiaoyun's words, so she simply blurted everything out.

"One last question! How can I get there?"

"I was taken there by someone when I was looking for a job."

Yang Xiaoyun looked at Xia Lin in surprise and said, "Aren't you afraid he's a human trafficker?"

"There's nothing to be afraid of! They wrote the agreement on the spot, and besides...!"

Charlene stopped mid-sentence.

This made Yang Xiaoyun a little anxious.

"Go on, keep talking!"

"It's not that I don't want to say, it's that I can't say what comes next. If it gets leaked, I'll have to pay a huge penalty for breach of contract."

Yang Xiaoyun nodded and said, "I understand! Not everyone can know the rest, right?"

Xia Lin silently took a sip of her drink, without giving Yang Xiaoyun any answer.

After a long silence, Yang Xiaoyun suddenly asked Xia Lin, "Will you still go?"

"do not know!"

The two remained silent for a while, then Yang Xiaoyun asked Xia Lin, "What about you and Lu Tao?"

"What do you mean?"

"Don't play dumb with me! Although your relationship with Lu Tao isn't out in the open, everyone knows what's going on."

Xia Lin looked at Yang Xiaoyun with some annoyance and said, "If Lu Tao were really capable, I wouldn't have ended up in the palace."

"That's your business. What does it have to do with Lu Tao? If you don't like Lu Tao, you can just break up with him directly. There's no need to string him along."

Xia Lin glanced at Yang Xiaoyun and said, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You're about to marry Xiang Nan, but you still have other ideas."

"I was just trying to make some money for our future."

Xia Lin gave Yang Xiaoyun a look, letting Yang Xiaoyun figure it out herself.

Yang Xiaoyun saw the look Xia Lin gave her and returned the look, and then the two fell silent again.

Although they only exchanged a glance, they both understood what it meant: "Don't laugh at Old Pig's blackness, let's get together next time."

Meanwhile, after leaving the stall where Xia Lin and the others were sitting, Yang Chu got into the car driven by Li Jialuo.

"Where are you going, sir?"

Yang Chu said with a wry smile, "I don't know where to go! I'll just wander around aimlessly!"

Li Jialu smiled and started the car, then drove around aimlessly on the road.

Yang Chu and Li Jialu wandered around aimlessly for a while. Yang Chu checked the time and said, "Let's go to the school to see Jiahe! Let's check on Jiahe's studies."

When Li Jialuo heard Yang Chu say that he cared about Peng Jiahe's studies, she couldn't help but chuckle to herself.

Peng Jiahe was already doing the teacher a favor by simply writing his name on the exam paper; how good could his grades possibly be?

Not long after Yang Chu arrived at the school, he saw Peng Jiahe, Qiao Yingzi, Huang Zhitao, Fang Yifan, Ji Yangyang, and Lin Leier walking together.

Yang Chu asked Li Jialuo to honk the horn, and Peng Jiahe heard the horn and saw Yang Chu.

Peng Jiahe jogged up to Yang Chu and asked, "Why are you at school?"

"Of course, I'm here to check on your academic performance."

"Tch! Stop trying to distract me! Tell me honestly, how did you end up here?"

Yang Chu chuckled and ruffled Peng Jiahe's hair, saying, "If I said I was kicked out and had nowhere to go, would you believe me?"

Peng Jiahe glanced at Yang Chu with a hint of suspicion, then nodded and said, "I believe you!"

As soon as Peng Jiahe finished speaking, Qiao Yingzi, Ji Yangyang, and the others greeted Yang Chu one by one.

Yang Chu smiled and nodded to Ji Yangyang. After they finished greeting each other, he looked at Qiao Yingzi and said, "Why do you seem a little unhappy? What's wrong?"

Qiao Yingzi sighed with a hint of melancholy and said, "Alas! What's the use of saying it? I'd better not say it."

Yang Chu smiled and looked at Qiao Yingzi, saying, "How about I treat you today? Let's go out for a nice meal. You guys order! What do you say?"

Fang Yifan was about to agree happily, but Lin Leier tugged at Fang Yifan's clothes and whispered, "Auntie must have already cooked dinner, let's hurry home!"

Although Lin Leier spoke softly, Yang Chu still heard him. However, Yang Chu still looked at Fang Yifan, wanting to see what choice Fang Yifan would make.

Fang Yifan thought for less than five seconds before taking out his phone and dialing Tong Wenjie's number.

"Mom! Brother Yang is taking us out for a big meal, so I won't be coming home."

"What? Yang Chu is going to treat you to a big meal? You're not allowed to go! Peng Jiahe has already treated you to meals many times. Do you know that one meal he treats you to is equivalent to one or two months' salary for your parents, or even more? How are your parents going to pay him back?"

"Oh my god, you're overthinking it. Brother Yang and the others don't care about these things."

"They don't care, they don't care, but you can't go there shamelessly. Go home obediently, or you'll see what I do to you if you come back late."

Tong Wenjie hung up the phone immediately after she finished speaking.

Hearing his mother speak so harshly, Fang Yifan glanced at Yang Chu and Peng Jiahe before putting his phone in his pocket.

"We won't go together today. My mom has already cooked dinner and wants Lei'er and me to go home quickly."

After saying that, Fang Yifan grabbed Lin Leier's arm and turned to leave, not even giving Yang Chu a chance to speak.

Yang Chu raised an eyebrow in surprise, but he didn't care much. Looking at Lin Leier's back, he quickly said to the system, "Sign in!"

"bite,……"

Seeing that Fang Yifan and the others had left, Qiao Yingzi quickly said to Yang Chu, "Brother Yang, if there's nothing else, I'll head back too. Let's get together another day."

Huang Zhitao and Ji Yangyang nodded in agreement.

Yang Chu glanced at Peng Jiahe, wanting Peng Jiahe to make the decision.

To Yang Chu's surprise, Peng Jiahe also nodded and agreed to let Qiao Yingzi and the others go home.

Yang Chu could only look at Qiao Yingzi and the others and say, "Alright then, let's get together another day!"

"Goodbye, Brother Yang!" X3

After Qiao Yingzi and the others finished speaking, they turned around and left with their schoolbags on their backs.

After Qiao Yingzi and the others had walked away, Yang Chu looked at Peng Jiahe and said, "What's going on? Why do I feel like there's a distance between you guys?"

Peng Jiahe sighed and looked at Yang Chu, saying, "We're not from the same world to begin with. We only crossed paths because we were in school together. There's no need to force us together."
