After having listened to Ma Meifan's complaints, Jing Xue gradually nodded her head and lifted her hand to rub her tensed temples.
"Curses, it is Sun De. Where did he get his guts from?"
To think Sun De was going this far to capture Ma Meifan was something Jing Xue didn't think a man of his status would do. If he was willing, plenty of power-hungry women would line up all the way from the North Pole to Beikang to be with him
"It is simply a shame for the Sun Family to have a rotten seedling," said Ren Ye in a rather calm tone, Ren Ye didn't divulge any information about Ye Zhihao yet.
Ye Zhihao is hiding behind Sun De, Sun De is a definitely scapegoat and a prawn in his games.
If I told Jing Xue about Ye Zhihao in front of Ma Meifan, she would definitely try to investigate him and this would lead to many complications further on. He will definitely find out about me and wait for an opportunity to strike, I cannot afford to do that at this moment. freewebnovel(.)com
"About the damages, I will repay you back when I get money," Ren Ye changed the topic and bought up the money crisis in front of Ma Meifan, hoping she would feel a bit of guilt for bringing him into this mess.
Ren Ye was deliberate and cunning, his words always hide something. It was the others' turn to read behind his words.
Ma Meifan lowered her head apologetically and nodded her head.
Jing Xue shook her head and glanced at him with tranquil eyes, reflecting his figure, "You don't have to."
"It is my fault. I should be the one paying for the damages," Ma Meifan turned her head to stare at Jing Xue with a frantic expression, "Sister Jing, having you come here is enough and I apologize deeply to Mister for bringing you into this mess."
Ma Meifan gracefully bowed her head toward the three of them and smiled gently toward Ren Ye.
"I will clean up the mess, rest assured."
Ren Ye didn't want to argue and nodded his head.
"Papa, where will you go?"
Ren Ye felt a tug on his sleeves as he lowered his head to find a pair of glossy eyes staring at him with a sweet grin.
"The messes must be dealt with first before Papa could go back to the company, Papa should come with me and Mama."
"Papa shouldn't walk because it is extremely hot outside and taking the bus will cost money."
Ren Jia glanced at him with a perfectly innocent face, her innocent face often tells tales of mischievousness.
"Uh."
Ren Ye didn't know how to reply and his shoulders trembled slightly from the scorching eyes behind his head, Jing Xue held both of her arms on her chest and leaned against the wall.
Despite having reunited with her, I still feel a sense of distance and unfamiliarity with her as though she is a stranger. There are still a lot of things that I have to talk out with her first, most of them relating to the past.
I doubt it would be comfortable sitting in her car and glancing around in utter silence.
Could this be a personality trait of the original owner?
Had it been Ren Ye's old self, he would have talked it out with her but felt his mouth could not function with her around.
Her luminous eyes swayed his heart wholeheartedly, Ren Ye curled his lips into a twitching grimace.
"This kid is playing matchmaker for her parents," Old Yi smiled, knowingly.
"As long as you want, you could just go with her. The deadline is still long away so you can relax for a couple of days but yeah under the premise Ye Zhihao hasn't made any progress."
"No, I have to investigate Ye Zhihao's background first and find a way to enter his circle."
Ren Ye narrowed his cold eyes and informed Old Yi of his plans.
"With Shapeshifting, I can find a way to do it without having him know about me and ordering people to kill me."
"I only have to find someone who is close to him and his family and take their identity," Ren Ye pursed his lips and turned to look at Jing Xue with a complex smile.
She is definitely someone who came from an influential background and has countless friends around her, what if I use her circle to get what I need from her? Ye Zhihao should be someone she knows very well.
Ren Ye snorted and placed his hand on Ren Jia's head with a forced smile, Ren Jia sensed something was off and jumped slightly. Her head bopped against his palm.
"Papa…"
"Isn't it something the past you did before?" Old Yi chuckled inside his head and rubbed his chin, he said knowingly, "Eh? Do it if you believe it is easy to find him but then again, she will have some backing behind her. "
"I am not sure about her current background but I can tell from her manners, she isn't ordinary. Use her as much as you want as long as you don't get caught hehe."
"Don't worry, she won't. I have a way to make her trust me."
"Good luck, I guess. A smart girl like her wouldn't believe your words after she has been betrayed once," Old Yi sneered inwardly.
"You know quite a lot about me, huh?"
Old Yi grimaced loudly and became silent.
Ma Meifan gradually approached him and smiled gently toward Ren Ye, she extended her head in a welcoming and friendly manner and said in a voice that only the both of them could hear.
"I heard from Ren Jia that you have only begun working today and you needed money."
Ren Ye nodded his head and frowned slightly, what is this girl up to?
"Because of the inconvenience last night, if you want, I could save a temporary place for you at my brother's company for a couple of days."
She attempted to maintain her good public image in front of everyone and help Ren Ye pass time. Ren Ye's eyes didn't bulge as he glanced at her hand and shook them.
"I do need the money but as a man, I should first talk with my boss before discussing anything with you. You don't have to deal with the problem of facing my boss, I will discuss it with him directly."
Ren Ye said calmly.
Ma Meifan felt cold sweat behind her back and nodded her head elegantly, maintaining her calm composure with him.
"Papa, are you going to Uncle Jie's company?"
Ren Ye nodded his head and rubbed her head; enamored by her adorableness. He suddenly heard a loud thud from behind and raised his head, finding Jing Xue with a dreamy cold face.
"What were you discussing with Meifan?"
Her tone was shrouded in iciness and wariness, her face didn't change one bit as she continued to stare at his face with peering eyes.
"She offered me a job at her company."
Ren Ye replied frankly as there was nothing to hide from her anyway, Jing Xue squinted her eyes and continued to ask.
"What did you say? Agree?"
"No, I didn't say yes or no yet. I have to talk to Uncle Jie first and hopefully, he will be understanding of my situation."
"Do you need me to go there with you as a witness?"
"There's no need, your presence will be too distracting for him and everyone there," Ren Ye coughed lightly and twitched the corner of his lip.
Jing Xue didn't speak and mumbled quietly to herself, Ren Ye was confused.
"Huh?"
"Nothing."
"…"
Ren Jia felt awkward between the both of them and asked her Papa for a hug, trying to calm the tension between her parents "Papa, hug."
Ren Ye took her into his arms and pinched her pointy mouth with a half-smile, Ren Jia winced adorably and snorted.
-
"Are you sure you don't need my help?"
Jing Xue asked in an uncertain tone, her eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Ren Ye shook his head and dismissed her worries, "Your appearance will attract even more attention, I'd rather not that happen."
"Take Ren Jia along with you, for the time being, there are things I have to do that might be troubling."
Jing Xue nodded her head and lowered her head silently, her lips pursed tightly.
"I feel like there are more reasons but you chose not to tell me about it…"
Ren Ye narrowed his eyes and glanced at her coldly, seemingly sensing her emotional state. He lifted the corner of his lips slightly into a slight smirk.
"I will inform you about them later."
Ren Ye replied indifferently, maintaining his cold gaze.
Jing Xue sneered mockingly and her calm face was replaced with a ridiculous expression.
"I hope to hear from you soon."
After all, you're under my radar and won't be going anywhere without me. I will make sure you stay right under my eyes. free(w)ebnovel(.)com
The possessiveness in Jing Xue's heart became increasingly chaotic before she was knocked out of her thoughts by Ren Jia.
"Mama, trust Papa."
Ren Jia's eyes beamed brightly as she grinned joyfully at her Mama. Jing Xue's expression became complicated before she bit her lower lip and snorted.
"Do you know where to find me?"
"Heh? Of course, I do, Miss Superstar. All I need to do is join your fandom and I will find what you are and will do."
Jing Xue had a large and supportive fandom behind her back, they are often up to date with their idol's activities and shows.
Although Ren Ye wasn't the type to follow idol drama, he knew a bunch of things from Wu Qi, who was a rather huge fan of it, and the gossip on the media.
Jing Xue, a household name in the entertainment industry, has released countless hits and acted in blockbuster films. She was well-known as the Pop Actress.
Somehow, her name was the only one whom he never noticed after coming into contact with this world.
Strange…
Jing Xue nodded her head and rolled her windows upward, Ren Jia made sure to wave her Papa goodbye as he smiled at her.
"Papa, don't forget to pick me up."
Ren Ye shot a gentle smile as he waved his hands and turned to look at the banner.
JS Co.
There weren't many cars parked today, Ren Ye believed they were taken away by the other drivers but the most important thing he had to do was to inform Uncle Jie of his misfortune.
"Damn you! Sun De!"
As soon as he said that, a handsome man of average height peeked his head out from one of the buildings and placed his curious eyes on him. The man had a buzzcut but today, he was covered completely from head to toe.
It was none of other than Deng Ming.
As soon as Ren Ye saw him, he couldn't help but think back to the girl who was with him and whom he met at Luxury Hotel.
His features twitched slightly.
