Obsessive Tycoon and His Swan Girl
Chapter 167 - 167 167 Combination Punches Flow Like Water

Chapter 167: Chapter 167: Combination Punches Flow Like Water Chapter 167: Chapter 167: Combination Punches Flow Like Water “Oh,” Jiang Zhe said, obviously intrigued, “Won’t you introduce this friend of yours to me?”

“Fen Ye, contact Liang Tian.”

“Sure thing.” Fen Ye stood up to introduce Liang Tian, “Sister-in-law, Liang Tian specializes in the business of traditional Chinese herbal medicine. His business spans across the country and even globally, but it’s all common medicinal herbs. Only when he has some particularly good items does he approach Jingchen to ask if he’s interested.”

This combination of moves was executed with such ease and fluidity, completely seamless.

Jiang Zhe, too, wasn’t really interested in probing their secrets, so he lazily stopped asking and simply nodded, “Hmm.”

After acquiring the medicinal herbs, Jiang Zhe only selected a small portion that could be used at the welfare institution and sent it to Aunt Kang.

The rest she stored in the house La Xiu had given her outside the school.

She quickly forgot who Liang Tian was.

On Friday, Qin Jingchen called her out to dinner and to meet with Liang Tian.

Only then did she remember this matter.

Jiang Zhe somewhat regretted casually probing Qin Jingchen before.

Going out to socialize was truly troublesome for her.

But since she had been the one to say those words, it was her own doing and she had to bear it, even if it meant on her knees.

…

Inside an upscale restaurant in Jincheng.

Liang Tian, He Zizhou, and Fen Ye had already arrived.

“Is it truly the sister-in-law who wants to meet me?” Liang Tian could hardly believe it.

“Could there be any doubt?” Fen Ye patted his shoulder, “The sister-in-law has some medical skills, and you never know, she might consult with you someday. Take this opportunity seriously.”

Liang Tian shoved his hand away, “Don’t bluff me. With Jingchen as he is, how could he possibly be dating! If he were truly dating, I’d take off my head and let you use it as a wine cup!”

Did they not know Qin Jingchen?

For so many years, there had not been a woman by Qin Jingchen’s side.

He Zizhou didn’t believe it either, but he still said, “I did see Jingchen staring at his phone, lost in thought.”

“Wasn’t he using the phone to worship Buddha? That year Jingchen almost became a monk at Fahua Temple. It was me who drove him back. Don’t you guys remember?” Liang Tian said.

This was his significant achievement, and also a crucial reason he firmly disbelieved that Qin Jingchen could be swayed by earthly desires.

“These are your words, not mine!” Fen Ye laughed comfortably, “Shall we make a bet then?”

“A bet,” He Zizhou was immediately interested.

“Hey Liang Tian, don’t put the whole ‘taking off my head’ thing on the table; choose something sincere.”

Right away, He Zizhou said, “Alright, our newest sports car then.”

All three had recently gotten new sports cars, each a global limited edition, waiting two years just to get them, and they hadn’t even been fully broken in yet.

It was indeed a very sincere bet.

Liang Tian slammed the table, “It’s a bet! But let’s get one thing clear, if it’s one of those surface-level, engaged-to-unite-two-families type relationships, I won’t acknowledge it. I’ll only accept it if Jingchen is truly moved!”

“Of course!” Fen Ye threw the keys to his sports car on the table.

He Zizhou and Liang Tian followed suit and threw theirs as well.

“She should be arriving soon,” Fen Ye said.

He Zizhou and Liang Tian weren’t as close to Qin Jingchen as Fen Ye was, but they also didn’t think a few extra days with Qin Jingchen would give Fen Ye the insight to be certain of his feelings.

Therefore, they took a casual attitude towards the bet.

Then they heard the sound of the door opening.

Qin Jingchen was the first to walk in, wearing a white shirt and, unusually, even sporting a tie. He wasn’t carrying his Buddha beads, and the scent of sandalwood on him was faint yet discernible.

“Jingchen,” He Zizhou and Liang Tian didn’t see Jiang Zhe’s figure.

“Where’s sister-in-law?” Fen Ye asked.

“Taking a call,” Qin Jingchen pulled out a chair and sat down.

He Zizhou and Liang Tian exchanged a glance; Liang Tian picked up Fen Ye’s keys and slowly fiddled with them, looking like he held the winning ticket.

Fen Ye wasn’t in a hurry, they’ll get their share of dog food later.

He Zizhou asked about the Feiying matter, “Jingchen, everything went smoothly with that Atlantic thing last time?”

“Let’s not talk about that tonight,” Qin Jingchen didn’t want Jiang Zhe to hear about these things.

He Zizhou smiled at Fen Ye, seemingly certain of his victory.

If Jingchen really cared about Jiang Zhe, would he prevent her from knowing these things?

At the end of the day, it’s all about the relationship not being close enough.

After finishing the call, Jiang Zhe came in, and Fen Ye immediately stood up to introduce them.

“Young Master He, Young Master Liang,” Jiang Zhe greeted casually.

It was the first time He Zizhou and Liang Tian were meeting Jiang Zhe, but they had heard countless times descriptions of her unrivaled beauty.

The descriptions were indeed accurate, but she was genuinely cold, giving them a brief nod before sitting down next to Qin Jingchen, her gaze not lingering on them for an extra moment.

Even in a school uniform, her demeanor was nonchalantly cool.

Although not admitting their feelings, they had to acknowledge Jiang Zhe’s status; Liang Tian said with a smile, “Just call me by my name.”

“Me too,” He Zizhou didn’t act pretentious.

Jiang Zhe nodded indifferently as an acknowledgment.

She was languid in her demeanor, having hardly spoken a word since coming in, and took the tea that Fen Ye brought over with an indifferent air.

Jiang Zhe always lazed about socializing and was afraid of it, naturally showing little enthusiasm.

Seeing her indifferent demeanor, which seemed to place her in a different world from Qin Jingchen, He Zizhou and Liang Tian were already thinking about which road to go speeding on with Fen Ye’s sports car.

“Not feeling well?” Qin Jingchen had noticed that her mood seemed off ever since he picked her up.

He reached out to hold Jiang Zhe’s hand, pulling her close to him, and their foreheads touched as he checked her temperature.

An already proud He Zizhou and Liang Tian: “…”

“No fever,” Jiang Zhe pushed him away slightly, “just a bit tired.”

“Eat something and then go rest,” Qin Jingchen had intended to send her back now, but then decided that she should eat something first.

“Okay,” Jiang Zhe responded listlessly.

Fen Ye snatched his keys back from He Zizhou and Liang Tian’s hands and conveniently took theirs as well.

The dishes that had been ordered were also served at the right time.

Qin Jingchen served soup for Jiang Zhe and placed it in front of her, then began picking out fish bones for her.

He Zizhou and Liang Tian were thoroughly convinced by their defeat.

But in their wildest dreams, they hadn’t imagined they’d be fed dog food by Qin Jingchen.

It’s true that in Beijing there are beautiful girls deeply in love with Qin Jingchen, but with Jiang Zhe’s looks… well alright, it was hard to find anyone more beautiful than Jiang Zhe.

Qin Jingchen wouldn’t compromise to such an extent for the sake of business or family reasons.

He would only be so caring and attentive if he wanted to be.

And no one could force him to do something he didn’t want to do.

Fen Ye laid two car keys in front of Jiang Zhe, “Sister-in-law, pick one.”

“What for?” Jiang Zhe glanced at the two keys, two limited edition luxury sports cars, one Aston Martin and one Koenigsegg, both valued at upward of twenty million.
