Urban Film and Television: Jiang Lai is the Top Choice

Seeing how intimate Jiang Lai was with him, Yang Chu stuck out a finger and pressed it against Jiang Lai's forehead, pushing her away slightly.

"From now on, we'll be strangers when we meet. You said it yourself."

Jiang Lai slapped Yang Chu's hand away and said, "So what if I said it? Even if we're strangers, can't we get to know each other again? Let me tell you, I'm sticking to you, what can you do about it?"

Hearing Jiang Lai's words, Yang Chu sighed and said, "If you had said that you would rely on me that day, I might have overcome many obstacles to be with you. But from that day on, you will no longer be the only one in my life."

Upon hearing Yang Chu's words, Jiang Lai frowned and said, "What do you mean by that?"

"Heartlessness is not as painful as being affectionate; your heartlessness back then has made me affectionate today."

Upon hearing Yang Chu's words, Jiang Lai began to stare at Yang Chu.

It seemed as if they wanted to see from Yang Chu's face that what he had just said was a lie.

He seemed to be pondering the meaning behind Yang Chu's words.

Yang Chu also felt uncomfortable under Jiang Lai's gaze, and looked into Jiang Lai's eyes as well.

"After you left that day, I hired twenty-five beautiful women to work for me. You should have been to the courtyard house, right? You should have seen those twenty-four beauties. What do you think? Aren't they all just as good as you?"

Yang Chu stared at Jiang Lai with a sly smile.

But Jiang Lai still stared at Yang Chu expressionlessly.

Yang Chu continued, seemingly to himself, "You might be wondering, didn't I hire twenty-five beautiful women? Why are there only twenty-four over there? Well, the other one is here with me, doing my laundry and cooking for me during the day, and warming my bed and making my blankets at night."

Yang Chu spoke while pointing to the kitchen.

When Jiang Lai came in, she saw someone cooking in the kitchen, but she didn't pay any attention. Now, hearing what Yang Chu said, she couldn't help but turn her head over.

After Jiang Lai finished examining Li Jiaqing, Yang Chu said with a smile, "You're not bad in terms of figure, looks, or ability. I don't need to hang myself on you. Of course, if you're willing to join, I don't mind."

Upon hearing Yang Chu's words, Jiang Lai said viciously, "You don't need to disgust me like this."

"Disgusting you? No, no, no, no! You're wrong. I have no reason to disgust you. I just want to change my lifestyle. I don't mean to target anyone."

Upon hearing Yang Chu's words, Jiang Lai angrily grabbed her bag and prepared to leave.

After taking only two steps, he turned back, threw his bag on the sofa, and said, "Tonight I'm going to see just how good she is."

"It doesn't matter!"

After Yang Chu finished speaking, he went into the kitchen.

In fact, Jiang Lai really wanted to leave, but then she thought about how Yang Chu had become like this, and realized that there must be a reason for it.

Then there's the elevator malfunction issue that Yang Chu mentioned earlier, which Jiang Lai had to stay behind for, so she had to force herself to save face.

Yang Chu walked into the kitchen and brought the food to the table, saying, "If you're done being angry, come and eat. I'm not your brother or your parents; I won't coax you if you don't want to eat."

Jiang Lai sat down at the dining table angrily and said, "I don't need you to coax me!"

After Li Jiaqing brought the last dish to the table, she asked, "Miss Jiang, would you like rice?"

When Jiang Lai heard that it was Li Jiaqing asking the question, she looked at Li Jiaqing again for a moment and then nodded, saying, "Give me a small half bowl!"

Yang Chu said to Li Jiaqing, "Why do you care about her! If she wants to eat, can't she serve herself?"

Li Jiaqing, holding a small bowl of rice, glanced awkwardly at Yang Chu, then at Jiang Lai.

Jiang Lai, annoyed, put the rice on the table and said, "Don't make things difficult for her about you and me. If you have a problem, come at me."

"Tch! You and I are strangers, what right do I have to talk to you!"

Jiang Lai slammed her chopsticks on the table and looked at Yang Chu, saying, "So you can't get through?"

"What do you think? Some people seem to have said that they'll always agree with this statement."

Upon hearing Yang Chu's words, Jiang Lai slumped into her chair as if a deflated balloon, saying, "Tell me, how can we get through this?"

Yang Chu chuckled mischievously and said, "I'm short of a bed warmer and a tea and water maid lately. What do you suggest we do?"

Jiang Lai gritted her teeth and glared at Yang Chu, saying, "Don't go too far!"

"How did I go too far? I didn't say anything, let alone ask you to do anything."

Jiang Lai picked up her chopsticks, grabbed a piece of braised pork, stuffed it into her mouth, and chewed it fiercely, saying, "It's precisely because I didn't say anything that it's even more hateful!"

Now that things have escalated to this point, Jiang Lai understands what Yang Chu meant.

Jiang Lai's departure last time may have really hurt Yang Chu's heart. Regardless of what Yang Chu wanted to do by hiring twenty-five beautiful women, now everything is laid bare in front of Jiang Lai.

Yang Chu will definitely have many women in the future. If you, Jiang Lai, want to stay, then don't bring up your status as Miss Jiang.

Because you, Jiang Lai, have already given up on Yang Chu once, you no longer have the right to put on airs in front of Yang Chu's other women, let alone in front of Yang Chu himself.

Seeing that Jiang Lai had figured everything out, Yang Chu smiled and continued eating.

When the three of them had almost finished eating, Jiang Lai suddenly looked at Yang Chu and said, "Is it really because of me that you hired them?"

Yang Chu paused in his soup-drinking motion, glanced at Jiang Lai, and said, "I was indeed upset after you left that day. It was only after your brother warned me that I decided to hire them."

Jiang Lai nodded in agreement, understanding the meaning behind Yang Chu's words. It was she and her brother who solidified Yang Chu's determination to hire these twenty-five people.

After clarifying everything, Jiang Lai looked at Yang Chu and asked, "Where will I sleep tonight?"

"Whichever room you like best, then sleep in that room."

"And you? Which room are you sleeping in?"

Yang Chu shrugged and said, "We've been quite busy at night lately. I've already challenged your brother to a duel, so naturally I have to put in some extra effort."

"Are you really going to start a war with my brother?"

"Otherwise what? You haven't forgotten what you said when you left that day, Jiang Lai, have you?"

After saying that, Yang Chu stood up and stared at Jiang Lai, saying, "I, Yang Chu, am not afraid to fight anyone!"

After saying that, Yang Chu went into the bathroom, leaving Jiang Lai standing in the living room, lost in thought.

Jiang Lai is now truly regretting it. Why couldn't she have been more resolute and stayed by Yang Chu's side?

Yang Chu wanted to prove that he was not afraid of Jiang Haokun, so he decided to fight Jiang Haokun.

Yang Chu wanted to prove something to Jiang Lai.

Jiang Lai is in a difficult position; if she doesn't stop him, it's not good either. It's putting her in a very awkward situation.

The Jiang Group belongs to her family, and Yang Chu is going to war with the Jiang Group to prove to her that no matter who wins or loses, Jiang Lai will be the biggest loser.

Jiang Lai grew angrier the more she thought about it, but there was nothing she could do about Yang Chu's anger. Judging from Yang Chu's demeanor, a war with the Jiang Group was inevitable.
