nIn a private room—

nWhen Jiang Shaokai and Su Jianan came in, people were making noise.

n“Jianan!” Xiao Zhao, who was in charge of the on-site investigation, patted the table. “Since you resigned, you have evaporated from the world. You must have forgotten us! You are punished to drink three glasses; we won’t make it hard for you!”

nJiang Shaokai had expected that this was inevitable. So he had three big glasses, indicating to those who were about to find more joy to stop. “It should be enough; you should know that Jianan does not drink.”

n“Just a small glass, what’s the big deal?” Xiao Ying pushed a goblet with red wine to Su Jianan. “Moreover, it is no problem for Jianan to handle this wine!”

nJiang Shaokai felt a little headache. He could block the wine from male colleagues easily for Su Jianan, but Xiao Ying… was more difficult than them to deal with.

nHowever, Su Jianan knew how to deal with Xiao Ying.

nSu Jianan took the bottle and poured wine into the glass of Xiao Ying. “The last time we went to G City for a business trip, Captain Yan helped you resist the wine for several nights. You said that you would drink it later when you have the opportunity. Don’t wait, now the opportunity is very good.” then she looked at Captain Yan with a smile. “Captain, isn’t that right?”

nThe things between Captain Yan and Xiao Ying were not clear. It was not only the focus and gossip of the whole team, but even the director had to occasionally ask about their emotional progress. After Su Jianan brought it up, the topic was immediately opened, and the whole team began to besiege Captain Yan and Xiao Ying.

nWhen it was almost over, Jiang Shaokai took Su Jianan downstairs.

nDownstairs there was an open dining area with the best view of the place where Jiang Shaokai’s family was sitting.

nMrs. Jiang’s eyes were the sharpest. She noticed Jiang Shaokai and Su Jianan first and waved at them. “We’re over here!”

nJiang Shaokai raised his hand in response, and at the same time, he lowered his voice and said to Su Jianan, “Just behave naturally, just like when you meet the elders by chance. We will come over to talk for a little while and eat, then we will leave.”

nSu Jianan nodded and inadvertently found that in addition to the diners in the restaurant, there were two reporters who had disguised themselves as diners. They had food in front of them, but they didn’t touch it at all, and their eyes continued to move back and forth between her and the Jiang family.

nShe seemed to know Jiang Shaokai’s plan…

nWhile thinking, they had already walked up to Mrs. Jiang, and Jiang Shaokai greeted the elders of the family, then Su Jianan also politely called out, “Uncle Jiang, Auntie.”

nWhen they were studying in the United States, Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang went to the United States every half a year to see Jiang Shaokai, so they and Su Jianan were still familiar with each other.

n“Take a seat.” Mrs. Jiang held Su Jianan and sat down, letting the waiter who was waiting for her give her a bowl of soup. Then she whispered, “You must eat more nourishing things now, that’s what you need.”

nSu Jianan looked at Mrs. Jiang with amazement. After a moment, she understood: Mrs. Jiang knew everything.

nAt this time, a harsh voice broke into the eardrums of everyone. “A second-hand good. She is not worthy of brother Shaokai, why are you so polite to her?”

nIt was a little cousin of Jiang Shaokai.

nDuring this period, Lu Boyan and Su Jianan’s affairs were raging, and Jiang Shaokai was involved. In most people’s opinion, Jiang Shaokai was charmed, and thus, accepted Su Jianan. However, Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang knew a little bit about the inside story. Uncle Jiang also guessed that things were not as simple as the media reported when he helped Su Jianan look for Hong Qing.

nTherefore, the elders of the Jiang family did not oppose Jiang Shaokai. Instead, the junior who did not know the stories felt that she was not worthy of Jiang Shaokai.

n“Lanlan!” Mrs. Jiang whispered to the little niece, “don’t be so rude! I didn’t teach you to act this way.”

n“I’m sorry,” the little girl apologized, and said something while she bowed to eat, “but I said nothing wrong.”

n“You…” Mrs. Jiang was helpless.

nMrs. Jiang liked Su Jianan, and she was very much in favor of Jiang Shaokai’s pursuit of Su Jianan. But now, no matter how you said it, Su Jianan was an outsider and Lanlan was her niece, so she could not protect Su Jianan too much.

n“Auntie, eat some vegetables.” Su Jianan used a serving chopstick to give Mrs. Jiang a braised lion head. “This is their special dish,” she said and signaled to her that it was fine.

nMrs. Jiang tasted the lion’s head and nodded with satisfaction. “The taste is really good.”

nThe awkwardness gradually disappeared, and Su Jianan seemed to not have heard “second-hand good” said by Jiang Lanlan.

nIn fact, she had not only heard it, but had also heard it very clearly.

nHowever, compared with the unspeakable insults on the Internet, Jiang Lanlan’s wording was actually polite. Besides, she already felt terrible when she had involved the Jiang family because of herself. She did not want a good dinner to be ruined because of her breaking up the atmosphere.

nTwo reporters sitting at a table not far away found a good angle, took a photo of this family dinner, and then contacted Shen Yuechuan.

n“Special Assistant Shen.” The reporter tried to get some information from Shen Yuechuan. “I saw Mrs. Lu, oh, or Miss Su eating on the third floor of the Jiangyuan Hotel with the Jiang family. Are they really dating to the point that they need to visit the parents?”

nShen Yuechuan hung up the phone and turned his head and whispered to tell Lu Boyan.

nLu Boyan needed to know about this matter, and… he looked forward to Lu Boyan’s reaction very much.

nSince Su Jianan left the hospital with Jiang Shaokai that day, Lu Boyan had lost news about her.

nFor so many days, he missed her, and there were several times that he couldn’t help wanting to find her, but in the end, he suppressed his impulses.

nToday, she actually ate here with the Jiang family.

nRegardless of the strange eyes of the partners, Lu Boyan got up. “Sorry, I need to go downstairs.”

nHe would like to see if Su Jianan and Jiang Shaokai really needed to visit the elders.

nShen Yuechuan succinctly explained to the partners and followed the pace of Lu Boyan.

nDownstairs, Su Jianan didn’t know that Lu Boyan was getting closer and closer. Listening to Mrs. Jiang’s observation of some things she needed to pay attention during pregnancy, she was focused and serious, and nodded from time to time.

nJiang Shaokai thought that they were talking about something fun, so he came over and couldn’t help saying, “Why do you talk about it while eating? Isn’t it better to talk while drinking tea some time?”

n“We’re just talking about things. Only when dating do you need to create an atmosphere.” Mrs. Jiang suddenly thought of something and pulled Jiang Shaokai over. “Exactly, you should listen.”

nJiang Shaokai almost screamed. “I don’t give birth to children!”

n“You don’t, but your future wife will!” Mrs. Jiang grabbed Jiang Shaokai tightly.

nJiang Shaokai asked Su Jianan for help with a sad face. Su Jianan put on a smile, but did not help him.

nHe gritted his teeth and said quietly, “I’ll remember this!”

nSu Jianan shrugged with a smile, saying that it didn’t matter, then she bowed her head and ate some soup.

nWhat Lu Boyan saw after he came down from upstairs was such a scene of a happy family, and he suddenly looked gloomy, and the coldness gradually approached.

nJiang Shanshan, Jiang Shaokai’s cousin, was the first one to notice Lu Boyan.

nJiang Shanshan worked in the Jiang Group. Because of the business cooperation, she had met Lu Boyan several times, and was deeply impressed in her heart. She knew that such a man could not be controlled by herself, so she never had thought about it, but it did not affect her appreciation of Lu Boyan.

nJiang Shanshan stood up subconsciously and smiled a little. “Mr. Lu, what a coincidence.” After that, she remembered Su Jianan, then she realized that it was… not a coincidence.

n“Miss Jiang, Boss Jiang.” Lu Boyan smiled and said hello to the older generation of the Jiang family. Although he was not enthusiastic, he was very gentle and polite.

nJiang Shaokai’s father had been dealing with Lu Boyan many times in the mall, and he was more familiar with him. He smiled and said, “What a coincidence, are you here in Jiangyuan to talk about things or…”

n“I came to talk to Director Zhang of the Kou family.” Then, Lu Boyan’s eyes fell on Su Jianan. “I saw some acquaintances, so I came over to say hello.”

nWhen hearing the voice of Lu Boyan, Su Jianan just kept her head down, not even daring to glance at him from the corner of her eye.

nShe really missed Lu Boyan, she missed him every day, and it was also the reason that she dared not look at him. She was afraid that her eyes would reveal her secrets.

nBesides which, that day, she left the hospital like that, so Lu Boyan should hate her.

nThe scene planned by Jiang Shaokai was originally intended to be seen by him through the media. Now he saw it with his own eyes… it was better, he would believe it more.

nSu Jianan thought that she should behave naturally and continued to talk and laugh with the Jiang family. But she could feel Lu Boyan’s hot stare and she suddenly felt that her back was being burned with a big hole. There was only one thought left in her mind: “Leave here.”

nWhile thinking, Su Jianan stood up. “Sorry, I need to go to the bathroom.”

nAfter she finished, she left and walked out in a hurry. Lu Boyan glanced at her and followed her footsteps.

nJiang Shaokai secretly felt bad. But before he could get up, he was held down by Shen Yuechuan. “Mr. Jiang, long time no see, shall we drink?”

n“Let go!” Jiang Shaokai lowered his voice to warn Shen Yuechuan, as he and Shen Yuechuan were not so familiar!

n“Be smart.” Shen Yuechuan did not seem to understand Jiang Shaokai’s eyes. He smiled and made a familiar touch with his glass. “Our Boss Lu only needs to talk to his wife now, you should not get involved, Jianan will be fine.”

nOf course, Jiang Shaokai knew that Lu Boyan would not hurt Su Jianan. He was worried that Su Jianan would not be able to deal with Lu Boyan by herself.

nBut he did not expect that the assistant of Lu Boyan would be so difficult to deal with.

nOn the surface, Shen Yuechuan just slightly put his hand on his shoulder, like ordinary buddies with good feelings.

nBut he just couldn’t get free from his hand and get up, even though he was a master of Taekwondo, he was completely crushed by Shen Yuechuan, but Shen Yuechuan still looked very calm and easy.

nHe could only silently pray that Su Jianan could stand up to Lu Boyan.

nAt this time, Su Jianan had left the open dining area and walked in the long corridor.

n“Su Jianan, stop!” The voice of Lu Boyan came from behind, low and dangerous, and she could not resist.

nSu Jianan felt that Lu Boyan’s voice was like a dangerous claw, which made her tremble with fear. She had to quicken her pace, but she was never faster than him.

nLu Boyan strode in two steps and grabbed Su Jianan’s hand from the back and pushed the fire door open with the other hand. He then took Su Jianan into the fire stairway.
