Urban Film and Television: Jiang Lai is the Top Choice

Just then, Peng Jiahe walked in from the kitchen and looked at Jiang Haokun, saying, "Lu Yuan and I were the first to know Yang Chu. You don't actually think that Lu Yuan and I were also deceived by Yang Chu, do you?"

Lu Yuan glared at Jiang Haokun and said, "We've heard pretty much everything. Tell me, what is Yang Chu trying to scam you out of? Money? Or his body? If it's money, he doesn't seem to lack it. He can give you 20 million just for renovating a house. As for his body, that needs to be verified. Only Jiang Lai is about the same age as Yang Chu and might be tempted, but he didn't harass your sister like that! Then there's Gan Jing, but do you think that age is appropriate?"

Lu Yuan had barely finished speaking when Gan Jing elbowed him.

Lu Yuan rubbed the spot where he had been hit and said, "I'm telling the truth! You two are nine years apart! I could believe him if he wanted to find someone nine years younger, but I don't think it's very likely he'd find someone nine years older."

Are you implying that I'm old?

Lu Yuan sensed the anger in Gan Jing's words and chuckled foolishly, saying, "I'm just presenting the facts to Jiang Haokun!"

After listening for a while, Jiang's parents had gotten pretty much the gist of it. Jiang's father looked at Jiang Haokun and said, "Tell me, what do you suspect Yang Chu is trying to scam? I'd like to hear it too."

Jiang Haokun took a deep breath and looked at Gan Jing and his father, saying, "I don't know what Yang Chu is trying to deceive. I just feel that Yang Chu is very cunning and can win people over without them even realizing it, which is why I'm worried about this."

"Haokun! You've been bitten by a snake once, and now you're afraid of a rope for ten years. You said before that Yang Chu had studied some psychology, and that he used this kind of method to win people over, at most for future development, which is only human nature. How could you have imagined that he was trying to deceive you!"

Just then, Gan Jing said irritably, "I think Hao Kun is insecure."

Peng Jiahe nodded in agreement, saying, "I felt it too! Young, rich, and handsome, he completely overshadows President Jiang."

Jiang's father nodded with a smile and said, "I feel the same way. Haokun, you are indeed a bit insecure. Now that your misunderstanding has been cleared up, Gan Jing, you shouldn't hold it against Haokun anymore."

Jiang's father's earlier words were just a prelude; the important part was his last sentence, which indicated that he did not object to Jiang Haokun and Gan Jing continuing their relationship.

Gan Jing naturally understood the meaning behind Jiang's father's words.

"Since you've already brought this up, Uncle, I still stand by my opinion. Haokun and I are not a good match. Please forgive me, Uncle."

Jiang Haokun said anxiously, "Gan Jing, can you stop making trouble? Even if I made a mistake, please give me a chance to correct it."

"Haokun, after all I've said before, don't you understand? We're really not a good match."

Lu Yuan patted Jiang Haokun on the shoulder and said, "Alright! Gan Jing's words just now can't be changed in a few words."

After saying that, he turned to Peng Jiahe and said, "Let's go back!"

"Wait a minute, I still have something to ask Sister Gan Jing!"

After saying that, he looked at Gan Jing and asked, "Where is Yang Chu's courtyard house?"

"That courtyard house isn't far from your grandma's house. You should contact Yang Chu and ask him to take you there."

Peng Jiahe nodded excitedly and said, "Okay!"

After saying that, he and Lu Yuan left.

Gan Jing looked at Jiang Lai and said, "Now that things have been discussed openly, why don't you go and see Yang Chu?"

Jiang Lai shook her head and said, "Since you said we're strangers, then we're strangers."

After saying that, she turned around and went back to her room as if she had lost her soul.

Gan Jing, Jiang Haokun, and Jiang's parents all sighed as they watched Jiang Lai's departing figure.

Jiang's father lowered his head and said, "Haokun, you shouldn't interfere in your sister's love life anymore. You have to trust your sister."

"Okay, Dad!"

Jiang's father nodded to Jiang Haokun, then looked at Gan Jing and said, "You said before that Yang Chu challenged Haokun to a fight. Do you think Yang Chu has the ability to do that?"

Gan Jing shook his head and said, "I really can't say. I do know a bit about Yang Chu's personality, but I'm not so sure about his financial resources and abilities. However…!"

"But what?"

"However, someone who can come up with 20 million for renovations must have considerable funds and capabilities."

Mr. Jiang nodded in agreement and said, "Yes! A smart person who can come up with 20 million for renovations is no ordinary person."

After saying that, he looked at Jiang Haokun and said, "Haokun, you've committed a major taboo in business this time. You underestimated your opponent, judged people based on a sliver of information, and made enemies without cause. If Yang Chu really wants to go to war with the Jiang Group, it will probably be a fierce battle!"

Jiang Haokun listened thoughtfully and said, "Dad, it shouldn't be that pessimistic! Yang Chu has only been in Shanghai for a short time, he doesn't have that kind of strength."

Jiang's father shook his head, turned to Jiang Haokun, waved his hand, and said, "The Jiang Group is now in your hands. You handle it! I'm going back to rest!"

Jiang's mother said with a smile, "No rainbow without rain, Haokun! You've had it too easy. Maybe it's a good thing that Yang Chu hit you a blow."

After Jiang's mother finished speaking, she left with Jiang's father.

Gan Jing looked at Jiang Haokun and said, "I'm leaving too. Let's just be ordinary friends from now on!"

After saying that, Gan Jing turned and left.

Jiang Haokun reached out to stop Gan Jing, but then remembered what Lu Yuan had said, sighed, and didn't stop him anymore.

Gan Jing drove away from the Jiang family villa and soon encountered Lu Yuan, who was waiting for him on the way.

Actually, just as Lu Yuan and Peng Jiahe were about to leave the Jiang family villa and take a taxi, Peng Jiahe's words made Lu Yuan wait for her halfway there.

"Lu Yuan, you said that Sister Gan Jing and Jiang Haokun broke up. Is there any possibility that you can get back together with Sister Gan Jing?"

It was this sentence that made Lu Yuan fall into deep thought.

After much thought, regardless of whether Gan Jing could rekindle their relationship, he had to get to the bottom of things and not remain as confused as before.

And that's how the scene of waiting for Gan Jing halfway through the journey came about.

When Gan Jing saw Lu Yuan and Peng Jiahe standing by the roadside, he knew they were waiting for him, so he parked his car on the side of the road.

Gan Jing pulled the handbrake, got out of the car, and looked at Lu Yuan, asking, "What's up?"

Lu Yuan's eyes darted around, but he nodded and said, "There is indeed something."

"Is it complicated? Should we find a place to sit down and talk it over?"

Lu Yuan thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It's just a matter of a few words."

"Alright then, ask away!"

"That...that...you and Jiang Haokun...that..."

Lu Yuan stammered for a long time without getting to the point, which made Peng Jiahe a little anxious.

"Ugh, you're so useless!"
