Chapter 2071: If Only I Had Known Then What I Know Now
Wei Yangyang pushed open the door and happened to hear Jiang Motian's last three words.
She smiled at the people inside and asked, "What RMB?"
Jiang Mobai hurriedly gave a light cough, signaling Jiang Motian not to talk nonsense.
But Jiang Motian felt that Wei Yangyang had come at just the right time; she happened to want to ask for advice: "Yangyang, tell me, how do you pursue someone who is obsessed with money?"
"Simple, the two of you just make money together."
Wei Yangyang's answer was truly simple and direct.
Jiang Mobai, however, could not help but fall into deep thought.
Jiang Motian was also inspired and said, "Big Brother is very skilled at this; perhaps we can learn some experience from him."
"This... is hard to say."
"What do you mean? Could it be that Big Brother wouldn't teach us?"
Wei Yangyang said quite cautiously, "It's not that he wouldn't teach, but it depends on who this person obsessed with money is."
"Is there a difference?"
"Of course. If it were an ordinary person, Xingyan could teach a thing or two. But if it's someone more special, like Kexuan..."
Upon hearing Su Kexuan's name, Jiang Mobai's ears perked up.
Jiang Motian was also focused, pursuing the question: "How so?"
"Kexuan is very smart; even Xingyan has been tricked by her until he had no way out. So, Xingyan's experience is likely ineffective against Kexuan."
This...
Jiang Motian pursed her lips with a complicated expression.
Afterward, she looked at Jiang Mobai with full sympathy.
When it comes to making money, Jiang Mobai is simply no match for Li Xingyan.
Even Li Xingyan gets tricked...
Then if Jiang Mobai goes, he won't even have his underwear left...
Sigh!
Wei Yangyang heard Jiang Motian's sigh.
She looked at Jiang Motian.
Then, her gaze fell on Jiang Mobai, and she asked, "Do you like Kexuan?"
This one sentence successfully made Jiang Mobai bristle!
He asked Jiang Motian very angrily, "Did you leak it!?"
Jiang Motian rolled her eyes and then shook her head.
"Then how did she know?"
"Yangyang couldn't be sure of the answer before, but you exposed yourself."
"How is that possible, I just..."
Jiang Mobai was initially full of confidence.
But suddenly, he lost his voice.
Fine, just a moment ago... he did indeed expose himself!
Jiang Mobai looked listless and muttered, "There's one more person to laugh at me."
Wei Yangyang hurriedly said, "We'll be family soon, why would I laugh at you? It's just... it's difficult to like someone like Kexuan."
"How do you mean?"
"Pursuing a girl is about catering to her preferences. Some girls like to be cared for, some like boys to be overbearing, but Kexuan, she's quite special."
Jiang Mobai was pricking up his ears to listen.
Seeing Wei Yangyang pause, he urged, "How is she special?"
"Kexuan likes the thrill of making money."
And here he thought it was something else...
Jiang Mobai curled his lip and said, "Her preferences have always been tacky. But I can cooperate with her to make money, like giving her resources or investments; all of that works."
Actually, Wang Zi had previously given Jiang Mobai similar ideas.
Jiang Mobai thought it over and felt that his line of thinking was feasible.
But Wei Yangyang said, "I believe you have the capability, but like I said, she likes the thrill of earning the money herself. If you deliver the resources to her mouth, then there's no sense of conquest."
Jiang Motian caught on to something.
She snapped her fingers: "I get it, to win Kexuan's favor, you have to make money with her!"
"Exactly, and you have to let her take advantage of you inadvertently; that way she will be even happier."
Jiang Motian nodded immediately.
But then, the expression on her face turned serious again.
She muttered, "But this... is too hard, one careless move and you'll show your hand."
After saying this, she turned her head to look at Jiang Mobai.
She felt that for Jiang Mobai, this was an impossible mission.
In reality, it was indeed so.
Seeing the facts clearly, Jiang Mobai wilted all at once.
The hospital room fell into silence.
After a while, Jiang Motian suddenly spoke up: "How about you give up on Kexuan."
What a direct request!
After hearing this, Wei Yangyang wore an expression of disbelief.
Jiang Mobai also looked at Jiang Motian with resentment.
He asked, "When you and Xie Wanyi were facing layers of difficulties, did I ever pour cold water on you?"
"There is affection and righteousness between Wanyi and me, but Kexuan doesn't like you; the two are not comparable."
These words were truly heart-wrenching.
Yet they also helped Jiang Mobai recognize reality.
He thought for a moment, then revealed a bitter smile.
That's right, Su Kexuan indeed does not like him.
She didn't like him from the very beginning...
For a moment, Jiang Mobai lost the strength to support himself and leaned limply against the head of the bed.
He looked pitiful.
Watching him like this, Jiang Motian sighed, "If you had known today would come, why act as you did in the beginning?"
"Jiang Motian, if you say another cold remark... I'll cry for you to see!"
Jiang Mobai was genuinely unhappy.
He was already very sad to begin with.
How could his own sister be so afraid that he wasn't miserable enough, always stabbing knives into his heart!
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit tense, Wei Yangyang hurriedly mediated, "I brought spare rib soup; my mother simmered it herself. Come, have a taste."
As she spoke, Wei Yangyang poured the spare rib soup out of the thermal lunch box and handed it to Jiang Mobai.
This soup had been simmered for a long time; it was fragrant and not greasy.
As soon as the lid was opened, the hospital room was filled with the aroma.
But Jiang Mobai truly had no appetite at this moment.
It was purely because he didn't want to slight Wei Yangyang's face that he took a sip.
Before he could even put down the soup bowl, Jiang Motian asked a question: "The competition is over, are you leaving again?"
"I still have to attend Xingyan's wedding, and I have to recover from my injuries, so I probably won't be able to leave for a short time."
"Oh."
Jiang Mobai raised his eyes to look at her and asked uncomfortably, "What, are you hoping for me to leave?"
"Of course not, we all want you to stay. Especially after your accident, Mom was worried sick and even hoped you would change careers."
Change careers?
Jiang Mobai denied it without even thinking: "Impossible, racing is my soul; how could I abandon my soul!?"
"Got it, got it, calm down, the soup is about to spill."
As Jiang Motian spoke, she straightened the soup bowl in Jiang Mobai's hands.
Afterward, she added a word of caution: "You have your own ideas, but when communicating with Mom, be more tactful and don't upset her. She hasn't been resting well lately and is prone to headaches."
"Why hasn't she been resting well? Is it because of... me?"
"Yes, ever since your accident, her sleep hasn't been very good."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mobai fell silent.
And Jiang Motian then realized that her words might have made Jiang Mobai feel pressured.
Pressing her lips together, Jiang Motian softened her tone: "You have returned home now, and things are slowly getting back on track in all aspects; Mom will be fine too."
"Mm, you're right."
Jiang Mobai's mood was still somewhat low.
But he didn't like this state.
Hearing Jiang Motian's comfort, he pulled himself together.
It's just that...
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became heavy, and the air seemed to freeze.
