Jiang Youyi turned around and handed her a bottle of water. She waved her hand and closed her eyes to rest.
Jiang Youtian put the water aside and started the car.
“What happened between you and Lu Yunxiao? Did you really kiss at the amusement park?” Her second sister’s emotionless voice came from the backseat.
Sigh, she really couldn’t escape.
“Sis, you haven’t had dinner yet, right? There’s a new Chaoshan beef hotpot near our house. The ingredients are very fresh. I’ll treat you to it…”
“Jiang Youyi.”
“…I’m here.”
“Stop playing dumb with me. If I ask you a question, answer it honestly. You can only lie to Mom and Dad by changing the topic.”
“All? How would 1 dare…”
“Then tell me the truth. Otherwise, don’t expect me to clean up your mess in the future.”
“Sis, so you really came all the way back because of me?” Jiang Youyi looked at the rearview mirror and opened her mouth slightly in surprise.
“Why are there so many questions?” Jiang Youtian neither admitted nor denied it.
Only then did Jiang Youyi realize that she had misunderstood that she was dispensable in the family. At that time, she ate and slept like a fool every day, and nothing major happened. After breaking off the engagement with Xu Yuning this time, she realized how much her brother, sister-in-law, and second sister cared about her. She didn’t seem to have lost out at all when she lost a crooked tree and received the care of her family.
“Jiang Youyi.” Seeing that Jiang Youyi was distracted, Jiang Youtian was so angry that she sat up straight and could not be bothered to close her eyes to rest.
“Sis, there’s really nothing between us.”
“What about the photos? Are the photos fake too?”
“The photo is real, but it’s the angle. He only wiped my mouth for me. He didn’t kiss me at all.”
“Why did Lu Yunxiao wipe your mouth in front of so many people?”
“He’s just… enthusiastic, 1 guess. He saw that 1 was drooling, so he helped out.”
“Do you think I’m a fool?” Jiang Youtian was angry and wanted to laugh. Why didn’t she realize that her sister was a blockhead in the past?
“I don’t know what’s going on, but we’re definitely not dating. 1 don’t like him either.”
“So what did Lu Yunxiao say to you after he carried you upstairs that time?” Jiang Youtian recalled what happened last time. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Lu Yunxiao’s attitude was strange.
Jiang Youyi hesitated for a while before finally saying, “I’ll tell you the truth. Last time, he suggested working with me to create hype. I did want to give it a try at first. After all, Ocean City is only so big. There aren’t many people who can make Xu Yuning retreat. However, I realized that he’s a little temperamental and decided to stop working with him. But later on, I realized that… Xu Yuning is no longer troublesome. It’s even harder to get rid of Lu Yunxiao.”
“Wu Chen’s underground bank. You bet on that three million, right?”
“How do you know that?”
“Just as you said, Ocean City is only so big. What can be hidden?”
“Sister, you’re really good at predicting things.”
“Stop flattering me. Let me ask you, did you get Lu Yunxiao to help you get the money from Wu Chen?”
“You know that too? Second Sister, you really have sharp eyes and ears.” Jiang Youyi gave her a thumbs up with her other hand as she drove.
“Jiang Youyi, do you know who Wu Chen is? Are you crazy?”
Jiang Youtian was furious. She reached out and patted Jiang Youyi’s head. Although she did not use much strength, it was obvious that she was really angry.
“Wu Chen is famous for taking revenge for the smallest grievance. Why did you provoke him?”
“Who asked him to be so cheap and insist on betting on my privacy? This is called an eye for an eye.”
Actually, Jiang Youyi had never thought of scamming anyone of their money, especially since she had no grudges with that person called Wu Chen. However, ever since Xu Yuning was hospitalized, those unscrupulous media outlets had embellished so many false reports and caused an uproar online.
After finally quieting down for a few days, Jiang Youyi’s Weibo was flooded by netizens again. There were all kinds of comments in the comments section. Some asked her to get back together with Xu Yuning, and some said that she was a promiscuous woman who loved whoever she saw. Anyway, they were making wild guesses based on their rich imagination.
And this matter clearly had nothing to do with Wu Chen, a businessman who ran an underground casino and a bank. But he still wanted to interfere and rely on other people’s privacy to earn money that went against his conscience.
Jiang Youyi’s view of the world was very simple. If people didn’t offend her, she wouldn’t offend them. If people were cheap, she definitely wouldn’t be soft-hearted.
“You’re too impulsive! Wu Chen is famous for being a poisonous snake. If you bite him back, will he just swallow his anger?” Jiang Youtian was furious.
Jiang Youyi’s lips twitched, but she didn’t say anything..
