Obsessive Tycoon and His Swan Girl
Chapter 158 - 158 158 The Real Spread of Sourness

Chapter 158: Chapter 158: The Real Spread of Sourness Chapter 158: Chapter 158: The Real Spread of Sourness “I don’t have such a poor memory,” Jiang Zhe said casually.

Qin He: “…”

Was this Mr. Qin flirting with Jiang Zhe?

It turned out that Mr. Qin, who had been chaste for so many years, fell for this type.

After the meal, Qin Jingchen, Fen Ye, and Qin Hai were going to the airport.

Qin He asked Jiang Zhe, “Miss Jiang, are you going to see Mr. Qin off?”

Qin Jingchen hadn’t planned on it, but when he heard Qin He’s words, he still looked deeply at Jiang Zhe.

Jiang Zhe felt very tired after eating and was lazily considering the time it would take to make the round trip to the airport.

Qin Jingchen timely intervened, “Qin He, you take Jiang Zhe back first. The airport is near the suburbs. It’s okay on the way there, but coming back isn’t safe.”

He actually hadn’t planned to have Jiang Zhe send him off, otherwise, he wouldn’t have brought Qin He along at the last minute.

“Okay,” Jiang Zhe stopped calculating the time and her expression relaxed.

Qin He: “…”

Someone actually gave up the chance to spend time with Mr. Qin?

I have to say, although I certainly looked down on Jiang Zhe a bit, I really admired her backbone.

Although Qin He was talkative, he was also tactful. During the drive, he chatted with Jiang Zhe for a while, but seeing that she was not very responsive, he stopped.

Only when they arrived at the destination did he say, “Miss Jiang, let’s add each other on WeChat. That way, it’ll be easy for you to reach me if you need anything.”

Jiang Zhe pulled up her QR code, handed it over to him, and then accepted his friend request.

“Just call me if you need anything,” Qin He took the task given by Qin Jingchen very seriously.

…

Jiang Fanyue felt immense pressure due to Jiang Zhe being on the cover of Xu Jin’s magazine.

She could hardly explain it to her family and the Gu Family.

After all, she had been telling them that Xu Jin was good to Jiang Zhe as a way of repaying the Jiang Family.

But the dinner marking their separation had already taken place, and then this happened, leaving her unable to justify herself.

“Miss, aren’t you going in?” the driver asked Jiang Fanyue.

The car had been parked outside the Jiang Family home for quite a while, and Jiang Fanyue was deep in thought.

Unable to hold back, the driver reminded her.

Startled, Jiang Fanyue said in a low voice, “Let’s go in.”

Her mood was very low, and her tone was somewhat harsh.

The driver drove toward the Jiang Family’s place.

Suddenly, Jiang Fanyue’s cellphone rang.

She picked it up and saw an unfamiliar number. After answering, she heard a voice she didn’t recognize.

“Is this Jiang Fanyue? I am Zhou Yaming, a professor at the National Conservatory of Music.”

As the stranger’s voice came through, Jiang Fanyue was stunned for quite a while before nodding in surprise, “Yes, I am Jiang Fanyue, Professor Zhou, hello!”

Jiang Fanyue’s surprised and polite manner softened Zhou Yaming’s voice considerably, “You see, when I visited No. 1 Middle School, your school recommended you to me. Would you be interested in meeting me?”

“Of course! Professor Zhou, was it you who met with our school leaders before and asked me to prepare?”

Jiang Fanyue recalled Tian Wangcheng’s words and wanted to confirm.

“Yes. If you’re interested, come to Beijing for a visit. Take down my number,” Zhou Yaming said and then hung up the phone.

His attitude had always been like this, last time when he saw Jiang Zhe, it was considered good.

But Jiang Zhe had let him eat a closed door soup directly.

Thinking about a high school girl commanding him around in his presence, he was indignant. Why shouldn’t he assert his professorial authority over them instead of meeting them in person?

If they wanted opportunities, they should take the initiative to come to Beijing!

However, he hadn’t expected Jiang Fanyue’s attitude to be so good, Zhou Yaming felt relieved and recovered some of his professorial dignity.

Jiang Fanyue immediately added Zhou Yaming’s WeChat, taking note of all relevant information.

She then verified it online and indeed, it was Zhou Yaming without a doubt.

When she returned home, Jiang Yunxuan was listening to Xu Jin’s songs. Liang Jinlan saw the album cover and her expression turned sour, but she refrained from making a scene in front of Jiang Yunxuan.

Seeing Jiang Fanyue return, Liang Jinlan’s expression darkened.

“Mom,” Jiang Fanyue acted as if she knew nothing about that matter, sat down in front of her, and said, “Professor Zhou from the National Conservatory of Music called me, asking me to pick a weekend to go to Beijing and see him.”

Liang Jinlan was feeling a bit unwell but perked up on hearing this, “Really?”

“Really, look.” She took out the call log, WeChat messages, and showed them all to Liang Jinlan.

Liang Jinlan was overjoyed, “It really is Professor Zhou. Look at his circle of friends, there are photos with many famous cultural figures. Fanyue, so the thing you mentioned last time was true.”

Jiang Fanyue pursed her lips, “I have never lied.”

“Our Fanyue is so well-behaved, how could she possibly lie? Of course not!” Liang Jinlan’s joy this time had already surpassed her displeasure with Jiang Zhe.

The matter with Jiang Zhe and Xu Jin was at most a minor affair in the entertainment industry, but Zhou Yaming was different—he had connections in both the entertainment and cultural circles, and those were tangible resources.

Unlike stars, who were merely puppets of capital behind the scenes and on stage.

Jiang Yunxuan raised his head to look at Jiang Fanyue while listening to the music. Jiang Fanyue felt uncomfortable under his gaze but still had to maintain a smile.

…

Whether Qin Jingchen left Jincheng or not didn’t seem to make much of a difference to Jiang Zhe.

Apart from not dining together, his WeChat messages constantly followed her like a shadow.

She responded very simply.

As Qin Jingchen entered the gates of the Qin Family, he received a reply from her, a single word, “Hmm.”

He sent another message, “At Lushan Courtyard, the Rubik’s Cube I bought for you has arrived.”

There were already Rubik’s Cubes at Lushan Courtyard, and Jiang Zhe had sorted out the messed-up ones several times during her visits.

Aside from proving her possible OCD, it also proved that she liked to play with them.

Jiang Zhe’s reply was still just one word, “Okay.”

Brief and to the point.

Qin Jingchen put down his phone, only to hear the old Madam Qin listening to a voice message from Jiang Zhe.

“It’s fine to avoid sugar, no need to be overly restrictive with other things.”

“Okay, if I have the chance, I’ll come to visit you.”

She didn’t just use voice messages but also many words.

Although Qin Jingchen knew it was because Jiang Zhe’s voice had a strong calming effect on the old Madam Qin’s sleep, he still genuinely felt a twinge of sourness.

The old Madam Qin pointed at the phone, “Listen, Xiaozhe says I needn’t be so restrictive with my diet. You all keep telling me what not to eat.”

Tiao Chun stood by, smiling, “Since Miss Jiang has said so, I’ll bring you the salt-baked chicken right away.”

“Hurry up,” urged the old Madam Qin.

She caught sight of Qin Jingchen and beckoned with a smile, “Look, Xiaozhe has sent me another voice message.”
