…
How strange. He was clearly about to tell her not to hang out with Liang Jiusi’s cousin, but…
…when those words were right at the tip of his tongue, he suddenly hesitated.
Was he afraid that she’d get upset after learning that her close friend had hidden intentions for getting along with her?
Or that she would accuse him of thinking too much? Or even resent him for thinking so badly of her friend?
Perhaps it was a mixture of both, but it was indeed a fact that he was afraid to upset her… He couldn’t help but remember the look on her face when Liang Jiusi’s unseemly friends had mocked her back at the Golden Resplendence. He really didn’t want her to experience that kind of thing again.
Forget it. It looks like I’ll have to find an opportunity to talk with Liang Jiusi and get him to keep a closer watch on that cousin of his.
Speaking of which, how in the world did a person who only read erotic magazines every day have such a devious cousin? It was really hard to imagine that the two of them were from the same family… However, he had to admit that Liang Jiusi’s cousin was quite good at acting. Those casual words that she spoke in front of his grandfather might seem like they were nothing much, but they were effectively telling his grandfather that Soft Bun had a suspiciously intimate relationship with another man, that she was flirting around despite having him as her fiancé.
Why are relationships between women so complicated? How troublesome!
With such thoughts in mind, Lin Jiage strolled casually to the school.
He was completely unaware that within a car roughly ten meters behind him, someone had snapped down the scene that had just occurred.
…
On the road back to his dormitory room, Lin Jiage didn’t forget to drop by the school pharmacy to purchase a box of flu medicine.
Pushing open his room door, he assumed that Xia Shangzhou and Lu Benlai would still be asleep. Contrary to his expectations, he found them standing by the sides of the door perfectly dressed, acting as if they were door guardians.
These two lunatics!
Lin Jiage shot each of them a disdainful glance as he walked into the dorm.
Lu Benlai swiftly followed after him, holding a bottle of yogurt as if it were a cup of wine. He quickly asked, “Boss, here’s some alcohol. Now, you can share your story with us!”
Xia Shangzhou quickly grabbed a few slices of ham and a packet of instant noodles before sticking his head over as well, “Boss, I’ve prepared some side dishes. Tell us about your miraculous encounter yesterday!”
Is it too late to change my dorm room now?
Lin Jiage wondered as he pulled his chair out, sat down, and switched on his laptop.
After seeing that Lin Jiage was ignoring them, Xia Shangzhou’s and Lu Benlai’s voices became a little meeker.
“Boss, please! Won’t you tell us?”
“Boss, do you not love Little Lailai anymore? Nowadays, you never speak whatever’s on your mind to Little Lailai anymore, do you know how depressed Little Lailai has been…”
Lin Jiage typed in his laptop password impassively before sticking a USB drive in.
Lu Benlai: “Daddy…”
Xia Shangzhou: “Daddy…”
Lu Benlai: “Son, you’re using the wrong address over here. You should be calling him grandpa!”
Xia Shangzhou: “Scram!”
The duo quibbled for a while before realizing they had gone off topic. They turned their gazes back to Lin Jiage, but before they could say a word, Xia Shangzhou noticed the files that Lin Jiage was copying over and exclaimed in astonishment, “Boss, I thought you didn’t want to accept this project? Didn’t you say that the pay wasn’t worth the difficulty? Why are you suddenly accepting it now?”
While tapping on his keyboard, Lin Jiage replied very casually, “Oh, I suddenly realized that I’m very poor.”
“Boss, you’re insulting us over here!”
“That’s right! Putting aside your family fortune, you’ve got at least eight figures in just your personal bank account! Yet, you’re saying that you’re very poor? You’re just showing off to us at this point!”
