Chapter 1316: Chapter 868: The Mastermind Behind the Ruined Reputation (Part 2)
....
On Friday afternoon, Chen Yunyun landed in Yuhang.
Jiang Nian still remembered this and thought he really should buy a car. Keep it in Yuhang, so he could drive it when needed.
When there was nothing to do usually, it could be left at the company as a company car.
He decided to let Zhang Wei handle this. Make it easy to use; besides, he was quite eager recently.
After all, they were setting up a supervisor.
At the airport, Jiang Nian successfully picked up Chen Yunyun. Just as he was about to step forward, unexpectedly, someone came up beside him.
"Bastard!!"
Jiang Nian instinctively wanted to dodge. From the corner of his eye, he saw it was an elementary school student and was confused. At the same time, he stopped her.
"Why are you here?"
"I came!" Wang Yuhe was furious, holding her anger since she was on the plane, "Upholding justice!"
Jiang Nian: "???"
Byd, where did this beautiful warrior come from?
"Wait, what’s going on?" He looked at Chen Yunyun, giving her a puzzled look.
Chen Yunyun held her forehead, looking helpless.
"She insisted on coming."
"If I didn’t bring her, she said she would also buy another ticket to fly over. So, I had no choice but to bring her along."
Hearing this, Jiang Nian felt a bit frustrated.
"Alright."
This wasn’t a date, just a chat. Adding one elementary school student wasn’t that troublesome.
The only thing that concerned him was that Chen Yunyun bought the ticket herself.
For an ordinary student, even if the family is well-off and the parents are doting, it’s hard to sustain such spending.
However, Jiang Nian couldn’t help it. Chen Yunyun was too sensitive; if it were Yu Zhiyi, she probably would have accepted.
Speaking of which, he’s stood her up seven times.
"Let’s go, let’s go." He thought for a moment, "Just stay at my place directly, saving on hotel expenses."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yunyun pursed her lips.
Originally, she planned to stay at a hotel, just like last time. If Jiang Nian wanted to pay, she would continue to refuse.
Unexpectedly, this time they would stay at his place.
"What’s wrong?" Jiang Nian leaned closer, "Did you book a hotel in advance, and did you buy breach insurance?"
"If not, let Wang Yuhe stay. After all, money was spent, so it can’t go to waste, right."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yuhe’s eyes widened.
"You!! You!"
"You touch..."
"Hey!!" Jiang Nian grabbed Wang Yuhe’s foolish face, pinching it, "Let’s discuss it again."
"Boo hoo hoo~ You~~ mine~~ boo hoo."
Elementary school students are just troublesome.
The three of them headed towards the apartment together, Jiang Nian chattered on, finally managing to steady the foolish Wang Yuhe.
Until they got on the elevator, with only the three of them present.
Only then did Jiang Nian remember to ask Chen Yunyun about the reason for Wang Yuhe’s visit, but she wouldn’t say.
"I told you, don’t get mad."
"Alright."
Jiang Nian listened carefully, and remained silent afterward. He glanced at Chen Yunyun and then looked at Wang Yuhe.
"No, when did I ever say..."
He opened his mouth but forced himself to hold back, "Alright, it’s mainly my fault for not making it clear."
"Just a casual stroll around West Lake, just chatting."
As he spoke, he opened the door naturally, crouching down to change Chen Yunyun’s shoes.
"The other foot."
"Ah?" Chen Yunyun’s face turned red, not expecting this kind of scenario, "I can do it myself."
"That’s not the same, is it?" Jiang Nian said.
Chen Yunyun: "..."
Wang Yuhe changed her shoes by herself, even faster than Jiang Nian. She glanced at him, walked in with her head held high.
"Not as fast as me."
Jiang Nian couldn’t be bothered with her, almost hitting himself.
"Yes, you’re the fastest."
"Yeah, so what!" Wang Yuhe snorted twice, then turned and rushed into the bathroom.
Laughing to death, holding in pee and still being stubborn.
Once they settled in, Jiang Nian glanced at the elementary school student, "Yunyun and I are going out to buy something."
"You stay at home, don’t run around."
"Buy what?" Wang Yuhe asked curiously, looking at the two of them, "Why aren’t you taking me with you?"
Upon hearing this, the two of them exchanged glances.
"Nothing much."
"Just some small things, you stay home and play first." Jiang Nian said, "I’ll take you tomorrow, okay."
"Oh, okay."
With a bang, the two headed out. In the big loft apartment, only Wang Yuhe was left alone.
She looked at the door, then turned back towards the apartment. Looking up at the two-story high space, quite amazed.
"Way better than the school dormitory."
"If only there was a basket mounted on the wall, or a badminton net."
Then she started to sit idly on the sofa.
Played on her phone for a bit, then lay on the sofa in a daze, and after a while, got up and started wandering around.
A high-energy group.
She glanced at the second floor but didn’t go up. Just wandered in the living room but didn’t find anything new.
Until, she looked below the open cabinet. She saw a small vase, with some dust on the vase mouth.
Wang Yuhe picked it up, played with it for a while. She stretched out her finger, probing inside the vase mouth.
.....
On the other side.
Jiang Nian was walking by West Lake with Chen Yunyun. As the city lights began to glow, the lake was quiet like an oil painting.
The misty rain in Jiangnan had yet to return.
"There’s something I have to tell you now." Jiang Nian got straight to the point, "I like you a lot."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yunyun shuddered.
"Ah?"
The anticipated confession, the answer in her heart. Like a suspended giant boulder, crashing down with a boom.
So sudden, her heart felt a bit numb.
"However, I also like someone else." Jiang Nian said, "I think you should know this."
Once he said this, Chen Yunyun fell silent.
The tingling feeling in her heart just now, after the electric shock, returned to its original color, faintly aching.
"Yeah, I know."
She took a deep breath, she didn’t stop even when she reached the bottom, so her throat felt burning hot downwards.
"The class monitor, and Zhang Ningzhi."
"Not just them." He said.
"Ah?" Chen Yunyun was completely confused, turned her head and looked at Jiang Nian, "What... do you mean?"
"There’s someone else."
"Yu Zhiyi?" Chen Yunyun pursed her lips, "I know she got into Beijing, she’s there for you."
"That was an accident, she lost scores and slipped the ranking."
"Then it’s..." Chen Yunyun suddenly didn’t want to speak anymore, "Why are you telling me all this?"
Only friends aren’t afraid of revealing secrets.
Her eyes slightly lowered, falling on the lake not far away. Quietly waiting, for those words about being friends.
"Because I respect you." Jiang Nian said, "You’re a good person, and shouldn’t be deceived."
Chen Yunyun: "...a good person card?"
"No, the situation on my side is complicated. In short, there’s no turning back now."
Jiang Nian considered carefully, "This may sound a bit scummy, but I want you to have a choice."
"It is quite scummy." Chen Yunyun pursed her lips, it was the first time she said something relatively negative to Jiang Nian.
"Yeah." Jiang Nian nodded.
The atmosphere between the two instantly dropped to freezing point. Jiang Nian waited for a while, but he heard her ask.
"Who else?"
"Uh...."
"Dong Que, or Zhou Yuting?"
Jiang Nian: "... I’m innocent with them, and as for Tingzi, she’s still in Zhen Nan retaking the exam."
"Tingzi?"
"Ah this..." Jiang Nian was embarrassed, not expecting Chen Yunyun’s attention was so strange.
"We were quite familiar before, but never got together."
"Did it?"
"How could that be, who would dare?" Jiang Nian denied thrice, "Be careful with your words, we didn’t even kiss."
"Did everything else?"
"What else could there be? No." Jiang Nian spat two times, "Why are we always talking about Zhou Yuting."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yunyun pursed her lips.
"The class monitor said you pursued Zhou Yuting but didn’t succeed."
Jiang Nian: "???"
Shit!
Damn it, how is Qingqing ruining my reputation everywhere. Why, Your Majesty, why?
"When did she say that?"
Chen Yunyun: "Before the winter vacation of senior year."
Jiang Nian: "...."
This is really annoying, just wait!
After a brief explanation, Chen Yunyun just said oh. The misunderstanding was cleared up, but the problem was still there.
"I..." Chen Yunyun took a deep breath once, "My mind is a bit confused right now, let me think."
"Okay, just wanted to let you know." Jiang Nian nodded, "I’ll stay in a hotel tonight, give you some space."
Actually, if Chen Yunyun went back directly. He wasn’t confident he could stop her, and there was no reason to stop.
Suddenly, Chen Yunyun said.
"No."
