290: Chapter 290: You Will Regret It 290: Chapter 290: You Will Regret It What a coincidence, Jiang Yue and Fang Huaying were sitting right in front of her, to the right.
Jiang You initially didn’t want to bother with him, but he took the initiative to greet her.
“Youzi, not happy to see me?” Jiang Yue turned around to look at her after sitting down.
Jiang You rolled her eyes at him, “Isn’t it obvious enough?”
Jiang Yue wasn’t offended, instead, he smiled and said, “What’s wrong, still angry with your brother about last time?
I admit I mistook the fake for the real jewel last time, come on, be generous and don’t sweat the small stuff with me.”
Jiang You glanced at him disdainfully and forced a laugh.
Jiang Yue treated Jiang You very well, his tone was much gentler, and there was even an ingratiating element to it.
Even when Jiang You rolled her eyes at him, he could still manage a smile.
This made Fang Huaying sitting beside him frown deeply, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
Moreover, Jiang Yue even called himself Jiang You’s brother, and flirted with other women right in front of her.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
Why do all the men she fancies treat Jiang You so well?
Fang Huaying never considered them as family; in her eyes, the term “brother” when coming from Jiang Yue’s mouth seemed like a way to tease girls.
Jiang You glanced indifferently at Fang Huaying who wanted but didn’t dare to look back at her.
She curled her lips in a sarcastic smile and said to Jiang Yue, “Your eyesight is really poor, maybe you should visit an ophthalmologist sometime, and why not a urologist too!”
Before Jiang Yue could respond, she added, “Oh, and does your phone never connect to the internet?”
Jiang Yue looked at her, confused.
Jiang You couldn’t be bothered to explain.
She really had reason to doubt, with all the scandals about Fang Huaying almost causing uproar in the city, did he not see them?
Daring to mess around with such a woman, isn’t he scared of getting diseased!
Jiang Yue didn’t know what Jiang You meant for a moment.
However, the hint was crystal clear to Fang Huaying.
But she didn’t dare speak out right now, scared to mess things up and drive Jiang Yue, a wealthy catch, away.
“What do you mean?” Jiang Yue frowned, “Are you saying I’m sick?”
“…”
Jiang You feigned a smile, “Whether you’re sick or not, how would I know?
I’m just kindly offering you some advice.”
Xiao Si sat by, with his legs crossed, quietly listening without interrupting.
However, he suddenly chimed in, “Jiang Er, I think you should also see an ENT specialist, your ears don’t seem to work well either.”
Jiang Yue: “…”
So he looked diseased in their eyes?
“That’s not right,” Xiao Si clicked his tongue, “better see a neurologist too, your brain doesn’t seem to function well, seems like you have a comprehension problem.”
“You’re just like, the teacher laid out the answers right before you, and you still can’t copy them, it isn’t a brain problem, then your eyes must really be blind.”
Jiang You laughed unreservedly.
Xiao Si’s mouth was truly venomous, but Jiang Yue didn’t dare to retort.
No, actually, he didn’t dare to offend either of them.
Jiang You truly couldn’t stand Fang Huaying, a scheming woman trying to ruin her relationship; no one could like such a person.
She couldn’t help but glance meaningfully at the slightly bowed head of Fang Huaying, and smiled faintly.
“So it’s Miss Fang.” She covered her mouth slightly, a face of sudden realization, “I went to visit a friend in the hospital last time and accidentally dropped my wallet, it was you who helped me pick it up, thank you very much.
I was just wondering why you looked familiar, I didn’t recognize you for a moment.
Oh right, last time I heard you went for a gynecology visit, are you okay now?
Is it better?”
Fang Huaying turned her head to look at her, her face panicked, then unsure what to say.
Jiang You saw a hint of sneer in her eyes.
Jiang You looked at her with a skin-deep smile.
That comment just now was just an offhand fabrication by Jiang You, but why did she see panic in Fang Huaying’s face?
She didn’t actually have any illness, right?
But she’s such a party animal and doesn’t take care of her body, it’s normal if she’s sick!
At that moment, Jiang Yue slightly squinted his eyes and glanced back at Fang Huaying.
Fang Huaying’s heart skipped a beat.
She tugged at the corners of her mouth, saying, “Yes, I did see Miss Jiang in the hospital last time, but only for a brief moment, I wouldn’t have remembered if Miss Jiang hadn’t mentioned it.
But Miss Jiang might be mistaken, it wasn’t me who was sick; it was my friend, I was just accompanying her because I was worried about her going to the hospital alone.”
Fang Huaying wasn’t actually worried about Jiang Yue checking, since she hadn’t used her real name anyway.
Jiang You chuckled, meaningfully uttering “oh,” “I see, glad to hear Miss Fang is okay, I just misunderstood thinking you were the one who was ill.”
Fang Huaying: “Thank you for your concern, Miss Jiang, I’m very healthy.”
Jiang You’s red lips curled, not picking up her conversation.
“…”
Two hours later after the event ended,
Jiang You walked out from the venue, heading straight to the restroom.
She bumped into Xu Xinyi standing by the washbasin as soon as she entered.
Jiang You just cast her a cursory glance.
After she came out, Xu Xinyi was still standing there.
Jiang You, while washing her hands, curled the corner of her lips, “Miss Xu really likes squatting in restrooms, huh.”
Xu Xinyi crossed her arms, looking down at her with a pompous air.
Through the mirror, Jiang You observed her demeanor, starkly different from her usual gentle and demure appearance.
Seems like she’s quite good at pretending!
“Jiang You, I need to talk to you,” Xu Xinyi spoke, not in a very friendly tone.
Jiang You hadn’t expected her to be too polite.
After washing her hands, she pulled a paper towel, wiped her hands, then leisurely turned around, facing her, “Go ahead, I’m listening.”
“Jiang You, what do you think would happen if your parents knew you were seducing men outside?” Xu Xinyi’s threat was clear in her words.
Jiang You’s eyebrows slightly raised, she chuckled, “Why, planning to tattle?”
Xu Xinyi: “I have evidence of you seducing men.”
“Oh, really?” Jiang You showed no fear, “Go on, what do you want?”
Seeing her so cooperative, Xu Xinyi bluntly stated, “Stay away from Mr.
Gu, you’re not worthy of him!”
Jiang You frowned slightly, “Are you sick in the head?”
Xu Xinyi was taken aback, “…”
“Heh…” Jiang You sneered, “Don’t tell me you think, I’m not worthy, but you are?”
“Jiang You, it would be good for you to be aware of your place,” Xu Xinyi said arrogantly, “A person of Mr.
Gu’s status, a nobody actress like you naturally isn’t worthy of him.”
Jiang You was meeting someone thicker-skinned than herself for the first time!
Oh, no, Xu Xinyi was not just thick-skinned, she was completely shameless and appalling!
“Whether I’m worthy of him or not, it’s not for you to decide.
Who do you think you are?” Jiang You was never one to suffer losses quietly.
After all, she was the one being provoked this time.
“You, an irrelevant person, are acting like a busybody in my face!”
“Sometimes, overreaching can make you look cheap!”
Xu Xinyi’s face stiffened: “Jiang You, don’t be ungrateful!
Seeing how compliant you usually are, it turns out you’re just a rude person without a filter!”
“You are really funny.” Jiang You said speechlessly: “A few words from me make me unfiltered?
You, an outsider, come to tell me that my boyfriend and I are not suitable, that I’m unworthy of him, and that’s not being unfiltered and meddling?”
Xu Xinyi glared at her, taking a deep breath: “What I said is the truth, where do you match up to…”
Jiang You stepped forward, closing in on her, interrupting her: “Miss Xu!
Stop flaunting your dead brain cells in front of me; otherwise, it makes you look ignorant!”
For a few seconds, Xu Xinyi was intimidated by the pressing aura of Jiang You, suddenly approaching her.
Coldly, Jiang You glared: “Also, weren’t you planning to complain about me to my parents?
I’m sorry to tell you, you probably won’t meet my father, as he’s in Heaven, and someone with your impure intentions likely can’t even step through Heaven’s gates!”
“…”
Lu Ling had been waiting for her outside, and after waiting awhile without her appearance, just as she was about to enter, she saw her come out.
“Weren’t you going to check on something minor?
Why did it take so long?” Lu Ling muttered, “If you hadn’t come out soon, I would have thought you fell into a latrine, and I was about to ask Mr.
Gu to help pull you out.”
“Stop it, I encountered a brainless person!” Jiang You’s face was full of disdain.
“Ah?”
Lu Ling was confused, then from the corner of her eye, she also saw Xu Xinyi coming out of the restroom.
Then it clicked for her.
“Jiang You, you’ll regret this!” Xu Xinyi chased after her, shouting at Jiang You’s retreating figure.
“…”
Jiang You ignored her and just walked away.
Listening to Xu Xinyi spouting nonsense, Lu Ling frowned with disdain, “Miss Xu, are you sick in the head?”
“What would my Youzi regret?
Your attempt to impersonate Mr.
Gu’s girlfriend, we haven’t even held that against you, and here you are threatening our Youzi?
Are you bored?
If you are, go home and practice your old acting skills, and stop always screwing up when playing opposite our Youzi, losing the face of the leading lady!”
Already frustrated by Jiang You, Xu Xinyi grew even angrier when she heard Lu Ling.
But filled with extreme anger, she couldn’t utter a word.
After speaking, Lu Ling turned and chased after Jiang You.
“Jiang You, you bitch, wait for me!
I will make you regret being born!”
Xu Xinyi clenched her teeth, her eyes fiercely following the direction where Jiang You had left.
At that moment, a man walked out of the men’s restroom across the way.
Jiang Feng gave her a brief glance before leaving.
Jiang You and Lu Ling immediately left the event venue, and as soon as they reached the basement parking garage, they encountered Gu Beiyan.
Gu Beiyan had specially waited there for her.
“What happened?” Gu Beiyan asked seeing her unhappy face, “Who was bold enough to provoke you?”
Jiang You angrily said: “Xu Xinyi!”
Gu Beiyan raised an eyebrow, “Hmm?”
He had no recollection of this person.
So, who is Xu Xinyi?
Jiang You pouted and looked up at him, a look of grievance on her face, “She actually asked me to leave you and even had the audacity to say that I’m not worthy of you.”
Jiang You was deliberately acting aggrieved.
Gu Beiyan’s expression darkened when he heard this; a cold glint flashed through his deep, dark eyes.
He lifted his hand, placing his palm on the back of her head, softly stroking her silky hair to comfort her, “Alright, let’s not get angry with irrelevant people.
Getting angry easily causes wrinkles.
I’ll handle this matter.”
Jiang You blinked, uttering an “Oh”, then added, “But I’m still unhappy, what should I do?”
Gu Beiyan’s brow quirked slightly; he didn’t speak, waiting for her next words.
Suddenly, Jiang You leaned forward, resting her upper body against his chest, her arms naturally embracing the man’s lean, muscular waist.
Her chin rested on his sturdy chest, and looking up at him, she said, “Kiss me, and I’ll be happy.”
Gu Beiyan slightly tightened his eyelids, his eyes lowering to stare at her petite, delicate face, helplessly smiling with indulgence, he responded softly, “Okay.”
Lu Ling stood aside, silently turning away, finding it unbearable to watch—this show of affection was just too much…
However, Lu Ling quite liked their way of interacting; direct communication, a love free from misunderstandings, with a gentle yet pampering boyfriend who possessed authority, wealth, good looks—this pair was genuinely delightful.
Gu Beiyan indeed gave her a kiss.
“Happy now?”
Jiang You sighed, “Not completely satisfied, but much happier.”
She knew that the timing and setting were not right, so she shouldn’t demand too much.
This scene was coincidentally witnessed by Jiang Yue and Fang Huaying not far away.
The two were ready to leave, sitting in the car.
Fang Huaying cautiously observed Jiang Yue’s expression but didn’t notice anything amiss.
She thought he would get angry, be jealous.
“Miss Jiang is actually with the President of the Gu Family?” Fang Huaying feigned surprise, “I thought she and the gentleman sitting next to her today were a couple.
Seeing them sit so close together, seems I misunderstood.”
“But one is in the entertainment circle, and the other is from a powerful family, it must be hard for them to truly be together.”
Jiang Yue responded, “I actually think they are quite compatible.”
They indeed matched well in looks and family background.
Together, they were quite a sight.
Gu Beiyan had known about his feelings for Jiang You for a while, so news of them being together didn’t surprise him one bit.
He then glanced at Fang Huaying with a detached expression: “Whether they can truly be together is none of your concern.
Moreover, you don’t have to insinuate things about me.
You two aren’t even on the same level; even if she isn’t involved in the entertainment industry, she is much superior to you!
And what about the entertainment industry?
She’s not like some of those petty internet celebrities who gain resources through unscrupulous means!”
Fang Huaying’s face stiffened at his words; she clenched her fists, it was unexpected for Jiang Yue to defend Jiang You, that bitch!
Even after the remarks Jiang You made to him, he had never been angry.
A sinister hatred flickered through her eyes; she hated Jiang You, why did so many men protect her, why!
But facing Jiang Yue, she had to force a smile.
After Jiang Yue spoke, he didn’t spare her another glance; instead, he looked towards the driver and commanded solemnly, “Chen, drive!”
“…”
On the other side, after Jiang Feng returned to the venue, he reported to Jiang Yan what he had overheard in the bathroom.
“Master, this is all I heard.
I checked, and that woman is the daughter of Xu Yinghui from H city.”
Jiang Feng hadn’t expected Xu Yinghui’s daughter to be so bold.
After a moment, the man’s deep, chilly voice sounded, “Tell Xu Yinghui that as long as he doesn’t get involved, there’s no need to implicate the Xu Family.
One should bear their own responsibilities; since she wants Jiang You to regret being born, let her first taste the regret of coming into this world!”
Jiang Feng felt a chill down his spine and responded, “Yes, I understand.”
“…”
