The old lady said: "Isn't it good to be a waiter? I think it's pretty good."
She changed her shoes and walked to the kitchen carrying the plastic bag. She didn't seem to take her granddaughter's words seriously at all.
"Grandma." Peng Jiahe chased after him: "Why do you always speak for him?"
"Jiahe, what is your education level?"
"high school."
"Grandma is forgetful, not stupid." The old lady untied the plastic bag containing the dumpling wrappers and put a bottle of Zhenjiang balsamic vinegar next to the stove: "You are still in high school. You haven't even finished high school. Now you have to study hard. Only in this era can we have a good job. It’s no different than back then. With your academic qualifications, it’s good if someone is willing to give you a job.”
Peng Jiahe pursed his lips, feeling very unhappy.
At this time, Lin Yue came out of the bathroom, walked into the kitchen and said, "Let me help you make the stuffing."
The old lady didn't refuse and asked casually: "Why did you think of finding a job for Jiahe?"
"Oh, I see that she has been wasting her time at home, so I think it will help her to find a job and go out for some experience to help her grow."
"Pooh!"
Later, Peng Jiahe quit: "Grandma, don't listen to his nonsense. He wants to enslave me and make me work for him to pay back the money."
"Pay back the money? What money should you pay back?" the old lady said, "Did you lend him money?"
"I didn't lend him the money. Aunt Gan Jing spent it on me. This matter has nothing to do with him."
"You're borrowing money anyway. It's natural to borrow money and repay debts. I think Xiao Jiang did the right thing. You have to take good care of your temper."
Peng Jiahe was so angry that he puffed out his cheeks and stamped his feet: "You are all bullying me!"
She dove into her room and slammed the door.
Originally, when she brought this matter up, she hoped that the old lady would tell Gan Jing that her grandma was rich as before and pay back the more than 9,000 yuan she owed Gan Jing. Unexpectedly, the old lady was not honest at all and not only refused to help her pay back the money. , also said that being a waiter is a good thing.
So infuriating.
So infuriating!
She picked up her phone and dialed Gan Jing's number.
Soon, the call was connected.
"Jiahe, what's going on?"
"Aunt Gan Jing, you actually asked Jiang Haokun to come to me to collect debts. This is too much."
"Jiahe, I think Haokun is right. Staying at home is not a long-term solution. He also wants to help you."
"I don't need his help!"
"Jiahe, I have something to do at hand, so I won't tell you anymore. I'll hang up."
Boom~
The connection is interrupted.
Peng Jiahe didn't expect that she would hang up the phone right away, so he threw the phone on the bed in anger.
"Bitch!"
Click.
The door opens.
Lin Yue walked in from outside.
Peng Jiahe shouted loudly: "Why did you come into my room? Get out!"
"I'm here to tell you that I just agreed with your grandma that if you don't go to work, you have to vacate this room and sleep on the street outside."
"Jiang Haokun, you bastard!"
She really didn't know what was wrong with the old lady. She actually brainwashed this guy to the point where her granddaughter didn't even recognize her: "Do you think I won't have a place to live if I leave here?"
Lin Yue said: "You want to say that you still have Xiao Cai to rely on, right? But if I give him a multiple-choice question, should I keep you at his place, or should I take him to the United States to find his mother, do you think he will Which one to choose?"
On one side is the girl he likes, and on the other side is the mother he is determined to find. Thinking about the pressure this question will put on Cai Mingjun is a headache.
"You devil!"
"Yes, you are right, so do you want to go to the Gray Whale Restaurant or not? Don't worry, I will let Manager Feng love you. Besides, you only have one meal to consider this issue."
Click~
He left and the door closed again.
Peng Jiahe thought about it for a long time, and finally chose to compromise, because she felt that she would bite the bullet and insist on repaying the money for a period of time. When Jiang Haokun took her back to the United States to find Lu Yuan and get her father's insurance money, then the world would be vast. The sky is high and birds can fly. From now on, you no longer have to look at the old lady's face to act. You can do whatever you want.
…
the next day.
Lingkong SOHO.
There was a thin drizzle in the sky, which wet the clean road. There were only scattered pedestrians on the sidewalk, and their shivering looks showed that the weather was very cold.
In the MCCAFE diagonally opposite, the heater blows down from the air outlet above the head, injecting a warm atmosphere into the cafe.
Amidst the soft melody, women in OL-style clothes chatted quietly, occasionally taking a sip of coffee.
On a coffee table near the window, Gan Jing turned the enamel coffee cup in front of him with an angry look on his face.
"Now Peng Jiahe even has a grudge against me."
"Is there a problem? Don't you even care about Lu Yuan? Why bother worrying about Peng Jiahe, and it's also for her own good. If you don't polish it, you won't make it, and if you don't learn, you won't be righteous."
"That's what I say, but Peng Hai... is my friend after all."
"Believe me, I know Peng Jiahe better than you do." Lin Yue said, "For a person like her, only ups and downs can make her mature."
Gan Jing didn't agree with this statement, because Peng Hai didn't let her grow up even after her death. Now she can become mature by working at Gray Whale Restaurant for a few days?
"Stop talking about her, let's talk about the two of us."
After seeing a video sent by a friend, she called to question, but Jiang Haokun hung up the phone. She was very angry at the time. After finishing the work at hand, she went to the Jiang Group headquarters to block people. She happened to meet Vice President Zhang Liang, who told her Jiang Haokun was not there, having gone to take care of Jiang Zhihua's funeral arrangements.
Only then did she understand what had happened, and she put away her guilt-seeking mentality and returned to where it came from.
Jiang Haokun severed the father-son relationship with Jiang Zhihua, but the hatred of death disappeared. From the perspective of blood relationship, he had reason to send Jiang Zhihua to his last journey. This was human nature, so how could she have the nerve to come to question him at this juncture?
She thought that after Jiang Zhihua's matter came to an end, she would talk to Jiang Haokun about the two of them. Unexpectedly, Jiang Lai committed suicide by jumping off the building immediately after. He was not dead, but from a normal person's point of view, he was almost dead.
So her plan failed again. It wasn't until the day before yesterday that Jiang Haokun called her to ask for Peng Jiahe's loan records and told her what he wanted to do. Only then did he have the opportunity to initiate an invitation. Fortunately, he agreed and could not hide like before. Just hide, push if you can.
"What's the matter between the two of us? What's the matter between the two of us?"
Isn’t this pretending to be confused while pretending to understand? Gan Jing looked at him with an unhappy look on his face: "The last time I hung up the phone at the beginning, it was just...a video on the Internet."
"Oh." Lin Yue nodded, "I suddenly realized it."
"Oh, that's it? Aren't you going to explain it to me?"
"That's what happened. You've seen it. There's nothing to explain."
"You..." Gan Jing was driven crazy by him: "Do you know how seriously this has affected me?"
"I know, if I don't want you, no one will dare to marry you in the future. After all, no one wants to become an ex-boyfriend like Lu Yuan."
"So you know! Then shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
"First, I didn't force you to do this, it was your choice. Second, I recognized you as my fiancée, but how did you do it? You still have feelings for Lu Yuan, so our relationship collapsed. Third, I accepted you as my fiancée. , I didn’t lie, I just stated the facts. If you feel that your privacy has been violated, then... I’m sorry, okay?”
sorry?
Is that all it takes to say sorry?
Is this an apology? No sincerity at all!
The point is that what she wants is not an apology.
"You...you know what I want to say."
"I don't know, I don't know." Lin Yue didn't even look at her. He took a sip of the American coffee in front of him, shook his head and said, "It's not as good as the one I made."
"Jiang Haokun, you...you must be responsible for me."
When she said this, her face turned red and her body tensed up.
Lin Yue stared at her blankly for a while, then blinked: "Gan Jing, are you asking me to marry you?"
"..."
"No? Then I'll be relieved."
She picked up the cup and put it down, licked her upper lip, and said with wandering eyes, "Yes... that's right."
"You didn't agree when I proposed to you in front of so many people. Now you just say a few words and expect me to change my mind. What are you thinking? Say that I have caused a bad influence on you. You rejected my proposal at Banyan Tree. Didn't it have a bad impact on me? You still don't know, right? Jiang Zhihua started to be hostile to me from that incident."
"Then...what do you want me to do? How about...I propose to you in public?"
"Gan Jing, you look really interesting now. Are you still the intellectual, independent, and beautiful white-bone spirit who returned from overseas?"
"you……"
She is angry, humiliated, and embarrassed, but these negative emotions can be overcome in the face of reality.
Now, this is the only way she can go.
"It's... I didn't... cherish you before. It's... my fault. Please give me another... chance?"
She tried her best to lower her posture and truly surrendered in front of him. You must know that words like "I was wrong, Gan Jing, please forgive me" were always said by Jiang Haokun in the past. Now that the status has been reversed, she has become the one who licks hard. This kind of psychological gap is, how should I put it, sour, painful and uncomfortable.
"Give you a chance?"
She nodded.
"Okay, it's better to choose a different day than to hit the sun. Now, right here, come on."
"What are you here for?" After asking for a while, she realized what she was doing. She looked at the customers in the cafe and felt her face was red and hot.
Yes, Jiang Haokun meant for her to propose in public. In short, tit for tat.
"good."
Her lips pursed again and again, her expression changed again and again, and finally she put her hands on her skirt and rubbed it twice, determined to agree and propose to him in public.
Under Lin Yue's playful gaze, she left her seat, walked up to him and said loudly: "Jiang Haokun."
This sentence by Jiang Haokun attracted the attention of many customers.
This is Lingkong SOHO, the headquarters of Jiang Group. Many people know the name Jiang Haokun.
There was a female white-collar worker in the corner who opened her mouth in surprise and stared at them blankly, because she was a newcomer to the planning department of the Jiang Group. Gan Jing's words made her recognize the identity of the man who had his back turned to her.
Facing the gazes of the coffee shop customers and the waiters, Gan Jing knelt down on one knee and asked, "Will you marry me?"
Lin Yue said: "Louder, I can't hear you clearly."
Gan Jing looked down at the ground and raised his voice a little louder: "Will you...marry me?"
Lin Yue asked again: "Gan Jing, is this the attitude of proposing?"
She could only raise her head, desperately hinting in her heart not to be shy, those people around her didn't exist, and then asked again: "Please, marry me."
After a brief silence, there was an uproar in the coffee shop. Everyone stopped chatting and focused their attention on them.
99.99% of marriages in this world are done by men, right?
Now they actually saw the woman proposing in public, which was... so rare.
"So brave. I admire her so much. I don't have the courage to do such a thing, even if I like someone very much."
"If you ask me, you are really stupid. You are not brave enough to do this kind of thing. Once you do this, who has the final say after marriage? You must not tolerate this bad habit of men."
"That's... Mr. Jiang of the Jiang Group, right?"
"That's right, that's him. The rich second-generation Internet celebrity who has become so popular recently. The principal is even overpowered by him."
"That's right. The principal mostly comments on celebrities in the entertainment industry and shows off his wealth from time to time. But he is good. He completely lives his life like a TV series. I have never seen a rich second generation like him. Don't you know that Douban Weibo Bo, what did those women scold her like, like a chauvinist, fussy, not a gentleman at all, uneducated, poor quality, nouveau riche... Anyway, there are enough unpleasant things to say."
"So, what's the use of this? Do people care? Do rich people care? Those rich people will only regard their curses as chatter. If you really want to have a person like Jiang Haokun by your side, you can hope to become him. His girlfriend, they have already put aside their dignity and knelt down to lick him. What do you say? You can only say sour grapes when you can’t eat them. Look at the one who proposed to him. Isn’t he beautiful and elegant? She carried it. That package costs hundreds of thousands. A smart woman will not be led by some people on Douban or Weibo, but a fool will be led by those 'politically correct' views."
"Hey, I remember that his proposal partner was this woman a while ago, right? What's her name?"
"Gan Jing."
"Yes, that's her."
"Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi. She didn't agree at first, but today it's her turn to propose in public. It's true."
"This guy is so powerful, so powerful!"
"Of course it's stronger. Didn't you see the video of the dispute last time in front of the Reef Restaurant? You can do that kind of tricks. It doesn't matter if you ask the woman to propose today."
"I'm curious, will he agree?"
"I think it should be possible..."
However, Lin Yue's answer made people vomit blood.
"Let's see."
He stood up, fastened the middle buttons of his suit, turned around and walked outside.
See?
What does it mean to watch?
When someone proposed to him, he didn't say no or say yes. He just replied "Let's see." Are you talking about cross talk?
Gan Jing was also confused by him. He said he agreed if she could propose in public, but what happened in exchange was this?
Playing tricks on her?
Looking at the expressions of different emotions in those people's eyes, and looking at Jiang Haokun who was going out casually, she picked up her handbag and hurried after him.
"Jiang Haokun, stop...you...you don't keep your word, you can't do this to me."
She was very embarrassed at this moment, but what could she do? give up? If she gives up now, all her efforts will be in vain, not to mention that she has no way out.
"Didn't you say you would forgive me if you proposed in public?"
Lin Yue paused and said in the drizzle: "Yes, tit for tat, I forgive you and I'm not angry with you anymore, but that doesn't mean I want to marry you."
"..."
Yes, he was playing a word game.
"What do you want me to do before you marry me?"
"Do you really want me to marry you that much? Well, I'll give you another chance to break up with Lu Yuan."
