Chapter 290: Chapter 290: Chu Shuyuan Arrives

After leaving the tea room, Ji Yang felt much more clear-headed in the night air.

Regarding Qiu Ling and Qiu Fang, he felt that he needed to seriously think about their situations, as both women clearly had their own schemes.

As for Qiu Ling’s thoughts, Ji Yang felt that there was some truth to them, but he couldn’t possibly trust her that quickly.

After navigating officialdom, Ji Yang viewed many matters with a strict eye, not believing anything just because someone said it.

By this time, Ji Yang further discovered that he truly had no useful subordinates; if they were from influential families, they would have quickly investigated the other party’s complete background.

Of course, Ji Yang also knew in his heart that finding someone truly loyal to him was difficult, especially someone both capable and loyal.

As he was walking, his phone suddenly rang.

Taking out his phone, Ji Yang’s eyes brightened—it was a call from Chu Shuyuan.

"Sis, what are you up to?" Ji Yang asked.

"Can’t I call you?"

"Of course you can, I’ve missed you." This was indeed true; although he had relationships with many women, Ji Yang valued Chu Shuyuan the most.

"I’m in the provincial city now, at..."

Chu Shuyuan revealed her location.

When Ji Yang confirmed that she really was in the city of this province, his whole person became excited, and he said loudly, "I’ll come right over."

He hailed a taxi and quickly made his way to that location.

It turned out to be a high-end villa complex, which seemed somewhat deserted at night. As he arrived at the gate, a car drove up.

The car window rolled down, and Chu Shuyuan, smiling, said to Ji Yang, "Get in."

After Ji Yang quickly opened the door and got in, the car drove into the complex.

Sitting in the car and looking towards Chu Shuyuan, Ji Yang noticed that the woman had become much thinner, but of course, even more strikingly beautiful.

"Didn’t expect that, huh?" Chu Shuyuan asked while driving.

"I really didn’t expect it."

"Do you have plans tonight?"

"Um, there was a class reunion. I attended it, but there was a little incident."

"What happened?" Chu Shuyuan asked.

Ji Yang didn’t hide it from Chu Shuyuan and roughly described the situation.

Chu Shuyuan’s expression suddenly soured, and she said sternly, "Cheng Guosong, right? I know about his uncle. Do they really think they are something special just because they’ve made a bit of progress?"

Ji Yang could see that Chu Shuyuan was truly angry.

"What exactly is the Cheng family?"

"It’s just that nobody has dealt with them yet. Do they really think I have no say in the Chu Family? Just watch; if we don’t take them down a notch, they’ll really think the Chu Family has fallen. Actually, the Chu Family has been wanting to establish authority by taking down someone significant."

Ji Yang then realized, Chu Shuyuan’s position in the Chu Family must have indeed been elevated.

"And that Qiu Fang, I know about her too, she’s exactly as Cheng Guosong described. You must not get too close to her; she’s a manipulative bitch. Without paying attention, you men will be deceived."

Chu Shuyuan was obviously feeling a little jealous.

"What is Qiu Ling trying to do?"

Ji Yang also shared Qiu Ling’s words with her.

He wouldn’t discuss this with just anyone, but having had Chu Shuyuan come into contact with Qiu Ling before, he wanted to hear Chu Shuyuan’s opinion.

Glancing at Ji Yang, Chu Shuyuan said, "When someone throws herself at you, what else are you supposed to do?"

"I still have principles. I’m not with just anyone."

Chu Shuyuan snorted, "At least you are clear-sighted. Such women have no bottom line; they’ll do anything to live well. Don’t tell them everything about yourself."

Ji Yang said, "Let’s not talk about them anymore. It’s rare for you to visit, and I should take good care of you."

Chu Shuyuan’s cheeks turned red, and she playfully said, "What do you mean ’rarely visit’!"

Ji Yang reached over and began to caress her thigh.

"Stop, I’m driving." Chu Shuyuan protested, and the car sped up a bit, soon arriving at a villa.

After remote-controlling the gate open, the car drove in and straight into the garage.

As they exited the vehicle, Ji Yang noticed there was an elevator that could take them directly from here up to the room.
