Chapter 209: 156 Touch her? Break a leg! The Jiang Family’s Outcast (2 more chapters)_2
“Mr. Qi, we’re headed the sa way, would it be convenient for you to give a lift?” Miss Xie said generously.
Qi Zeyan looked at Jiang Yanting, damn it, just say sothing, dude, anything about us going to drink would be fine.
Jiang Yanting, on the other hand, looked the other way, “Then I’ll take you.”
Qi Zeyan’s eyes widened:
What the hell!
“No need, I drove here. It’s no trouble for Mr. Qi to take Tongtong ho, then I’ll be leaving first.” After saying that, she turned around and headed towards the parking lot.
This ti, Jiang Yanting didn’t chase after her. After all, with blind dates like this, they all co from well-understood backgrounds, and now it would be too easy to investigate her.
Once she got into the car, sat inside, started the engine, and gripped the steering wheel, she realized how badly her wrists were trembling. Thinking back to the encounter just now, she leaned her head against the wheel and felt her breathing beco labored again.
He whispered in a suppressed voice, close to her ear, “When I was with you, I didn’t use a fake na, just my English na.”
Back then, to avoid so trouble and to study abroad, he had used his English na.
“So I never lied to you when I was with you.”
His voice still echoed in her ears. When they were together before, she couldn’t resist his low and seductive coaxing. Now that he revereted to his old ways, even though she had braced herself, she was still left blushing and hot under the collar.
And he seed to sense sothing, laughing softly, making her feel incredibly uncomfortable.
Finally, she pushed him away and fled in panic.
After calming her breathing, she rembered what her family had said before the blind date:
“The second master of the Jiang Family is really quite good; the only thing is that he cos with a child. Though he has a child, so do you… so I guess you two are well matched.”
A child?
She tightened her grip on the steering wheel, her expression complex.
…
On Jiang Yanting’s side, he had already inford the Jiang Family of her information, asking them to help check her background. The feedback ca quickly; apart from her current job and age, all other information, including her university records, was fabricated.
“Second master, should we continue investigating?”
“No need,” Jiang Yanting said, tapping his fingers on the steering wheel, lips pursed in silence.
Too many things were off. Why didn’t she ntion anything about Jiangjiang? Didn’t she want the child? Why was she avoiding him when she saw him? Having been together before, he knew her to so extent; she didn’t have no feelings for him at all.
So why did she run?
Even if she didn’t want to see him, she would still think of the child, right? She wasn’t a heartless person, so…
Too many things were out of the ordinary.
Luckily, they had found the person. Even if she could run away, whatever relation she had with the Xie Family, they couldn’t escape. Eventually, she wouldn’t be able to either. As for the rest, they would figure it out slowly.
Qi Zeyan called him before he even got ho.
“Did you drop Miss Xie off at ho?”
“Jiang Yanting, are you even human?” Qi Zeyan was furious. He’d been tricked into going in the first place and was already very uncomfortable, “I was supposed to get those two ladies to stay, and in the end, I had to take them back?”
“You were on the way.”
“One is in East City and the other in the west, which eye of yours saw that as on the way?”
“Miss Xie likes you.”
“Just because I could tell she likes is exactly why I dare not take her ho. Didn’t you see the signals I was giving you?”
“I thought you had sothing in your eye.”
Qi Zeyan took a deep breath, “… Let’s change the subject, what’s the deal with you and that Miss Shen? We’ve been friends for so many years, don’t think I can’t see what’s going on.”
“What have you figured out?” Jiang Yanting was in a good mood today and had the patience to joust with him. If it were any other day, he would have hung up the phone already.
“You two knew each other before, didn’t you?”
“Who told you that?”
“Intuition.”
Qi Zeyan just made a wild guess, as he didn’t know Ms. Shen well, but he was always clear about his friend’s temperant. Jiang actually offered to give soone a ride ho?
Before he had his child, he was known throughout Beijing as the aloof and distant type. After having his child, he kept even more distance from mbers of the opposite sex, so his behavior tonight was very abnormal.
Moreover, he had taken the initiative to add soone on social dia earlier.
Jiang Yanting didn’t have much to say in response to his questioning?
“Should I chase after her then? Ms. Shen looks a lot more enticing than Ms. Xie.”
“I’ll break your legs.”
Qi Zeyan was taken aback, “You still dare to say there’s no affair between you two?”
“Are you planning to chase after every girl related to the Jiang Family? After poaching Xiaowu’s interest, now you’re trying to hit on ?”
Qi Zeyan just wanted to indulge his curiosity for gossip, not expecting the gossip to be toxic. He didn’t even get to taste the fruit and now his life might be in danger!
Those two brothers are really toxic.

When Jiang Yanting arrived ho, Jiang Shuyan was still kneeling outside. He glanced at the heavy motorcycle parked at the doorway and went straight inside.
The elderly lady and Fan Mingyu, among others, hadn’t rested, simply waiting for him to return to ask about his matchmaking results.
“How did you feel about eting the girl today?” Fan Mingyu was anxious all night.
“Yanting, you need to interact more with a girl to know her better. You can’t just dismiss her after one eting. What if you miss out on a good woman? Besides, don’t you want to think about Jiangjiang…” The elderly lady sighed.
“A woman in the house would really complete the ho.”
“At least listen to us, your elders. We have your best interests at heart; we aren’t trying to deceive you deliberately…”
Jiang Yanting took off his coat, “You’re right, it’s better to have more interaction.”
The elderly lady had a whole array of argunts ready to brainwash him, not expecting him to suddenly agree, which caught her off guard.
“Was the girl you saw tonight not bad?” Fan Mingyu’s eyes lit up.
“Mhm.” Jiang Yanting didn’t deny it.
“Shall we arrange for you to et her again?” Fan Mingyu probed tentatively.
“No need, I got her contact details and will ask her out myself.” Jiang Yanting draped his coat over his arm, “You all continue, I’m going to my room.”
“Go, go.” The elderly lady waved him off, pressing her hands together in a prayer, “Bless us, old man. Yanting has finally co to his senses.”
Jiang Yanting wasn’t one to play mind gas, so if he said he would contact her, then he would definitely ask her out.
This thrilled the mother-and-daughter-in-law pair, who were planning to go to the temple to give thanks and offer oil for the lamps.
They had thought that when Jiang Yanting ca ho, he would give them a cold shoulder, especially since this matchmaking had been based on deception. Unexpectedly, their plot had worked out in the end.
Although Jiang Yanting seed calm on the surface, there was an emotional turmoil within him, and he wasn’t quite at peace. At that mont, he just wanted to hug his son.
He wanted to bond with him and tell him that he was about to have a complete family. He always felt a deep sense of debt toward Jiangjiang.
But as soon as he reached the second floor, Jiangjiang suddenly burst out from a room, dressed in a Spiderman outfit, holding a toy gun that lit up, shooting at him with BiuBiuBiu…
“Uncle Xiaosi, successfully killed the enemy!”
“Good job!”
Jiang Yanting turned cold; any romantic thoughts instantly evaporated.
Was this family outlier trying to lead his son astray too?
