Chapter 2189: As Long As You Don't Get Married, There's Still a Chance

~7 min read 1,364 words

Young Master Tang hung up the phone impatiently.

Then he threw the cigarette butt onto the ground, ground it hard, and muttered, "Hmph, I thought some good thing had fallen into my lap, but it turns out to be a hot potato!"

After venting his anger, Young Master Tang adjusted his breathing and prepared to return to the restaurant.

But as soon as he turned around, his path was blocked by someone.

He took a closer look...

"Mr. Jiang?"

Half of Jiang Mobai's body was standing in the shadows.

The other half was standing in the light.

The dark intersection made his expression appear uncertain.

He asked in a low voice, "Are you on a blind date with Su Kexuan?"

Young Master Tang couldn't quite figure out what Jiang Mobai meant.

He hesitated for a moment before vaguely saying, "We're just getting to know each other."

"Since you want to get to know her, why are you slandering her behind her back!?"

"Huh? I..."

Young Master Tang looked uneasy, thinking about how to reply.

But the next second, his collar was grabbed by Jiang Mobai!

Jiang Mobai lowered his voice and warned, "Su Kexuan is not a woman you can look down upon; if you don't want to develop things with her, stay away from her!"

Young Master Tang immediately understood what Jiang Mobai meant.

This man most likely had his eyes on Su Kexuan!

In terms of all conditions, Young Master Tang knew he couldn't compare to Jiang Mobai.

Logically speaking, he should tactfully withdraw.

However...

Young Master Tang figured out a problem:

If the Li Family supported Jiang Mobai, would they still introduce Su Kexuan to him?

There must be some hidden story here.

As long as he seized the opportunity, he might be able to gain some benefits!

Having figured this out, Young Master Tang immediately made a decision in his heart.

He wore a gentle smile and asked, "Mr. Jiang, what happens between Miss Su and me is our own business; in what capacity are you questioning me?"

"She is my friend!"

"Since she is a friend, why don't we sit down and have something to eat together? I believe Miss Su would be very happy to see you."

Jiang Mobai saw that Young Master Tang was provoking him.

He was already suppressing his anger.

Now, being provoked by this guy's words, he exploded instantly!

Jiang Mobai pinned Young Master Tang against the wall, his eyes fierce: "Don't play dumb with me, remember what I said!!"

"Sorry, I can't do that."

"Fine, then I'll beat you until you can!"

As the words fell, Jiang Mobai was about to make a move.

But someone grabbed Jiang Mobai's wrist and, without a word, separated the two.

"Sorry, this guy was rude."

Young Master Tang's face turned pale.

Just now, he had felt the fist wrapped in wind coming right at his face!

If someone hadn't appeared, his teeth might have been knocked out by now!!

His eyes darted, and Young Master Tang looked at the suddenly appeared Xie Wanyi...

He looked into the shadows again.

He wondered if there was anyone else hiding there who hadn't come out?

At this moment, a chill ran through Young Master Tang's heart.

He didn't dare to stay, so he straightened his collar and said with feigned calmness, "I won't speak of today's events to anyone, and I hope there won't be a next time."

After speaking, he turned and walked away quickly.

His pace was faster with every step.

It was as if he were afraid that Jiang Mobai would break free from Xie Wanyi and chase him down to beat him.

In reality, Jiang Mobai did indeed want to beat someone up.

But Xie Wanyi wouldn't let him.

Jiang Mobai asked uncomprehendingly, "Why are you stopping me? That bastard is just putting on an act, I have to teach him a lesson!"

"Will teaching him a lesson solve the problem? Didn't you see that the guy was deliberately provoking you?"

Jiang Mobai was stunned.

Then, he slowly calmed down and recalled the scenes from just a moment ago.

Fine, Xie Wanyi was right.

But this also strengthened Jiang Mobai's resolve: "A guy with such crooked intentions cannot be left by Su Kexuan's side!"

"Do you think Su Kexuan wouldn't see through this person's true colors? She isn't naive; the things you've noticed, she could figure out with her toes."

What Xie Wanyi said was the truth.

It's just that his words... were too blunt.

Hearing them, Jiang Mobai's brows knitted together.

He muttered a bit awkwardly: "Since you saw it clearly, why..."

"Su Kexuan wants to use the other party's connections to pave the way for her own business; the two of them can be considered mutually beneficial."

"Even if what you say is true, does that mean he can slander people behind their backs?"

"... Alright, in this regard, Young Master Tang was indeed inappropriate."

Hmph, so this person still needs to be beaten!

Jiang Mobai rubbed his hands and cracked his knuckles, preparing to take action.

Seeing this, Xie Wanyi hurriedly continued: "There are plenty of ways to make him keep his mouth shut. But if you beat him, that would be your mistake, and it might even cause trouble for Su Kexuan!"

Xie Wanyi's words made Jiang Mobai hesitate.

In the end, he lowered his clenched hands.

But in his eyes, a fierce glint remained hidden.

Xie Wanyi could tell that Jiang Mobai still wanted to teach Young Master Tang a lesson.

But Xie Wanyi felt that this Young Master Tang was merely an insignificant character.

What Jiang Mobai needed to do was adjust his own state of mind.

In order to make Jiang Mobai see the reality clearly, Xie Wanyi said truthfully: "Situations similar to today will happen again in the future; are you going to treat every single one like a major crisis?"

Hearing this, Jiang Mobai was dazed for a moment.

Immediately followed by a sense of loss.

He lowered his eyes and said softly: "If Kexuan can find happiness using this method, I, I will bless her."

Jiang Mobai really wanted to appear magnanimous.

But he... simply couldn't be magnanimous.

His chest felt tight and swollen.

Xie Wanyi could naturally tell that Jiang Mobai was saying things he didn't mean.

With a light sigh, Xie Wanyi patted Jiang Mobai on the shoulder.

Then he advised: "In my opinion, Su Kexuan has no intention of settling down yet; as long as she isn't married, you still have a chance."

This chance was a bit slim.

Yet it became Jiang Mobai's only hope at this moment.

He nodded vigorously.

The phone in his pocket, however, buzzed and vibrated at this moment.

He took it out, glanced at it, and muttered: "The motorcade..."

Xie Wanyi wore an understanding expression: "Go ahead and get busy; I'll keep an eye on things here for you."

"Then you must not let Su Kexuan be deceived by that man!"

Jiang Mobai's tone was extremely solemn.

Xie Wanyi, however, said with a smile: "Rest assured, Su Kexuan's emotional intelligence is higher than yours, and her methods for handling problems are smoother than yours; she won't be taken advantage of."

Xie Wanyi's words today were always excessively blunt.

Yet they were also... impossible to refute.

Jiang Mobai left, feeling depressed.

And inside the restaurant, Su Kexuan stared at the man across from her, falling into silence.

Su Kexuan had used her methods to keep herself and Young Master Tang at a safe distance.

The two of them had things to talk about, and the scene wouldn't be awkward.

They could even each obtain benefits.

How perfect!

But who could have guessed that after Young Master Tang went out to take a phone call, he suddenly became much more enthusiastic toward her...

This was not what Su Kexuan wanted to see.

She also wanted to know what had triggered the change.

Her eyes darted around, and Su Kexuan's gaze landed on Young Master Tang's phone.

It seemed the problem could only stem from that phone call.

Su Kexuan thought for a moment and decided to take the initiative.
