Chapter 27: Part 3 — As the husband, he had the responsibility and obligation to stifle the conflict between husband and wife in the cradle.
...................................................... ............................................................... ........................... ...............................
As evening quickly arrived, Jiang Jingchuan called to say that there was an unavoidable dinner party he must join, therefore Jiang Jingjing sent Su Yan home.
On the other side, Lu Jiaying was perfectly content. Today she took a picture of Su Yan from the back. After beautifying the small picture a bit, she posted it in her Moments.
【Too Happy! I am really lucky. I ran into a kind hearted beauty from two years ago. Have decided that from today onwards she’s my Goddess. 】
After nearly half an hour, Lu Yang saw his younger female cousin’s post on Moments and called her.
Compared with the infighting with his siblings on the Chen Family’s side, he was very close to his cousins from the Lu Family, after the call connected he happily asked: “Didn’t you recognize the wrong person?”
Lu Jiaying had already returned to her living quarters, but she still couldn’t tamper down her excitement, “Nope, I didn’t recognize the wrong person. She was so beautiful, how can I not recognize her?”
“Did you invite that person for a meal?” Lu Yang was still sitting in his office having a headache regarding inviting tenders for a new project, hearing his cousin’s energetic laughter temporarily eased his exhaustion.
“Yes.” Lu Jiaying was lying down on the bed, her eyes narrowed in laughter, “but what a coincidence huh? She is my classmate’s sister-in-law. Oh that’s right, brother, maybe you might know, my classmate is Jiang Jingjing, her elder brother is that um……oh no, I forgot his name.”
As soon as Lu Yang heard that, his expression turned cold, putting down the documents in his hand, he asked in a deep voice: “Jiang Jingjing?”
If he wasn’t wrong, it seemed that Jiang Jingchuan had a younger sister with the same name.
Lu Jiaying didn’t notice any changes in her cousin, and continued excitedly: “I have her phone number. Should I ask her to go shopping with me in the future? Oh oh, just now my mom also called and said that she would invite sister Su for a meal sometime. I am so happy.”
Lu Jiaying was a very naive person. If someone treats her well, she would remember it in her heart and if possible would return the favour ten or hundred times more.
The world was really small. Lu Yang thought. At first he wasn’t sure, when his cousin said that that person was Sister Su, he thought that she must be Jiang Jingchuan’s wife.
“Jiaying, let me know when you invite her, I will also come.” Lu Yang hesitated slightly before saying.
He didn’t want to let go of such a good opportunity. After hanging up, Lu Yang felt that the matter regarding sending invitations to tenders, which was giving him a headache, had now become lovely. He walked till he stood in front of the french window, and didn’t realize that he was already looking forward to it a bit.
As for what he was looking forward to, even he himself didn’t know.
Jiang Jingchuan was at the dinner party. And as always, wasn’t even a bit enthusiastic. But he also wasn’t cold to the point that it would make somebody stuck in an embarrassing situation. No one dared to pour him a drink. It was said that after eating one would go and look for fun. Jiang Jingchuan and the host of the party talked a bit and then he was ready to bid goodbye to the people standing at the entrance.
Some of the guests had brought a female partner with them. One of them was an 18th generation young actress, who had become a bit well-known by playing as the 4th female lead in a very popular TV drama. The young actress’s mind was full of ideas. She was managed by the same company which managed the pretty and innocent star Huang Yu Wei. As soon as she heard that in today’s dinner party Jiang Jingchuan would come, she tried her very best to come here with someone.
She thought that Huang Yu Wei was too stupid. How can a person like Jiang Jingchuan really come to a party with a young actress? At most, they can only have fun in private.
If you can’t put yourself in the right place, then don’t blame people for knocking you down.
She wasn’t as greedy and stupid as Huang Yu Wei. As long as she can have one night with Jiang Jingchuan, her returns would be ample. If someone shot a picture and made it to the hottest news it would be even better.
Expecting something, the young actress couldn’t control her thoughts. She walked till she arrived beside Jiang Jingchuan and put on the sweetest smile before asking: “CEO Jiang, I haven’t said a word to you today. Are you leaving so soon?”
Her attitude was humble enough. The people present at the scene were very clever, after seeing such a scene they smiled knowingly.
Jiang Jingchuan frowned imperceptibly. If someone who was familiar with him was present, they would have realized that Jiang Jingchuan was already very impatient now. He lightly said: “I will be leaving first.”
The young actress wasn’t frustrated at all. A person with a status such as Jiang Jingchuan ought to be arrogant and speak such.
When Jiang Jingchuan turned to walk away, the actress put her foot forward, as if to walk ahead, and happened to slip. She subconsciously ended up leaning on Jiang Jingchuan. As long as Jiang Jingchuan looked down, he could see the ample large bosom of the young actress.
Although she didn’t have a pure appearance like Huang Yu Wei, her facial features were more delicate and her figure was better than her’s. She believed that there was no way Jiang Jingchuan wouldn’t be interested.
Who knew that not only Jiang Jingchuan didn’t look at her but he also ruthlessly pushed her away. His voice had turned absolutely frosty, “Please conduct yourself with some dignity.”
These words were very serious. The young actress lifted her head and didn’t care.
Jiang Jingchuan glanced at her in disgust. He lightly nodded at the other people and walked in the direction of the parking lot without turning back.
The young actress felt that it was such a pity. After all, she had used a lot of connections but didn’t obtain her desired result. She glanced at the other people before her gaze finally settled on a middle aged executive. Forget it, better to settle for the second best.
When Jiang Jingchuan returned to his car, he felt that his body still had that nauseating perfume. He instructed the driver to roll down the windows. And as the breeze entered and lightly dispersed the smell, his frown slowly relaxed. Then remembering something, he called a close friend from his mobile, and said: “Please do me a favor. Quickly go and check if there are any media outlets who have taken any photos related to me today.”
The close friend was dumbfounded: “What? What scandal did you cause?”
“None.” Jiang Jingchuan’s voice was somewhat cold, “It would be sufficient if you just look into it. If they do, then buy the photographs and the news.”
“What do you mean?” The close friend was still confused, “What did you do?In the past you never……
Previously, Huang Yu Wei also created news by taking advantage of Jiang Jingchuan by rubbing against him. At that time Jiang Jingchuan didn’t care. He never concerned himself with these sorts of matters. What happened now? The close friend wanted to question further to ask if it was because of Su Yan, when Jiang Jingchuan replied.
Jiang Jingchuan gazed at the night scene outside the window, “Before was before, now is now.”
No matter how he felt about Su Yan, he didn’t want her to show even a shred of grief-stricken expression when she saw the photos and news.
Formerly, he didn’t care about it because Su Yan didn’t care. He didn't feel like doing anything about it.
Now, he did care, because he feared that it would let her imagination run wild.
As the husband, he had the responsibility and obligation to stifle the conflict in between husband and wife in the cradle.
Indeed, it was harmful to one’s health if the husband and wife were on bad terms.
