Mrs. Jiang finally realized what Jiang Yu meant and a smile appeared on her face after he had gone afar. “Does my son finally get it? Has he finally taken an interest in girls? I don’t have to worry about him anymore.”
In the blink of an eye, Mrs. Jiang was a little worried again. “Considering my son’s qualities, even though he is indeed a little silly, his looks and figure are good. He shouldn’t have a problem finding a girlfriend, right? It’s just that he tends to have questionable EQ.”
“I wonder which girl finally got my son enlightened. She’s definitely no ordinary girl. I really want to meet her.”
Lin Wan was already a little upset after hearing what Jiang Yu said. Now that she heard what Jiang Yu’s mother just said, her expression became even uglier.
She knew that Jiang Yu’s mother was anxious to get Jiang Yu to date. This was also the reason why she was arranged to be Jiang Yu’s secretary.
However, Mrs. Jiang had completely forgotten about Lin Wan’s previous status as a potential candidate.
‘The more Mrs.Jiang thought about it, the happier she felt. She completely did not notice how annoyed Lin Wan looked. She continued to ask, “Lin Wan, you’re his secretary. You should know which girl he’s been getting close to recently, right?”
When Lin Wan heard this, she was so angry that she almost vomited blood. Her hands gripped the hem of her clothes tightly, but she was very unwilling to accept it. She thought about Ye Xue before she pursed her lips, rolled her eyes, and said, “I think she might be a female employee in the company. I’m
not too sure either. I only know she has a bad reputation. She has a thing for handsome and rich men. I heard she was once kept as a mistress.”
Lin Wan pursed her lips without saying a word.
Mrs. Jiang was born into a wealthy family and had seen many gold-diggers. Just her older brother alone was surrounded by gold diggers who wanted to marry up.
“Even if she’s a gold-digger, shouldn’t she take the initiative to throw herself at him? Why does my son have to chase after her so anxiously? Is she playing hard to get?”
Mrs. Jiang contemplated for a moment and said, “If she’s really playing hard to get, and my son can’t see through it, he deserves to be fooled.”
Lin Wan’s mouth twitched. She thought once Mrs. Jiang found out Jiang Yu’s love interest had a bad reputation and was simply after his wealth and status, she would object to Jiang Yu chasing after her.
In the end, his own mother even said that he deserved to be cheated.
Lin Wan reminded her, “Auntie Jiang, Jiang Yu is such a good person. If he really got cheated, wouldn’t he be very sad? Do you have the heart to let him be cheated by a woman?”
“Lin Wan, you don’t understand. Since he was born in a wealthy family, it’s very common for him to meet some people who are not what they appear to be. It is common to encounter the likes of gold diggers. After all, my son is a good man, so it would be abnormal if he didn’t have such a woman near him.
If he got cheated so easily, it means he doesn’t know people well enough. It would be good for him to get cheated if this meant he could learn a lesson.”
Even though Mrs. Jiang said so, she was still a little worried. If she had a daughter, she would have to worry about her encountering scumbags. Even though she was raising a son, she was equally worried.
Lin Wan went speechless.
Jiang Yu drove straight to the Ye family home. Only after he arrived did he find out that Ye Xue was not at home and had already left the house.
He tried to call her again, but he was still on the blacklist.
He did not know where Ye Xue had gone, so he could only wait at the entrance of the alley.
A slender figure was leaning against the wall at the entrance of the alley. The gray-colored wall contrasted sharply with the black suit.
The wall blocked the sunlight from the side, leaving a long shadow on the ground. Jiang Yu’s side profile was hidden in the shadows.
‘There was a draft at the entrance of the alley and cold wind rustled. Some stray hair got a little disheveled from the wind. He had a high nose bridge, and his lips were tightly pursed. He did not care about it, allowing it to flutter without restraint in the wind.
Ye Xue returned from the interview. Just as she walked to the entrance of the alley, she saw Jiang Yu half-leaning against the gray-colored wall. It felt as though her feet had taken root, and it was impossible for her to step forward.
The backlight cast a long shadow of her slender form.
At the same time, Jiang Yu also saw the slender silhouette on the ground.
Jiang Yu raised his head and looked over. He saw Ye Xue wearing a khaki down jacket and a red scarf. Perhaps she had worn it for too long and washed it too many times, so the color was a little pale.
On the scarf fringe, there were words embroidered on it. Although he could only see a corner of it, he recognized it at a glance. He had bought that scarf on Christmas Day of his freshman year. The two of them had even taken a group photo together.
Later, Ye Xue embroidered his name and a word from her name on it.
She still kept the scarf. Did this mean that she still had a thing for him?
At this moment, he felt even more nervous than when he was in university.
He was already 23 years old. When he saw that she was still wearing the scarf, his heart inexplicably palpitated.
He stood up and called out, “Xiao Xue.”
Ye Xue tightened the strap on her shoulder bag and asked him, “Why are you here?”
Jiang Yu said, “You suddenly asked for leave and didn’t come to work. I was worried something might have happened to you, so I came over to take a look.”
Ye Xue shook her head. “Nothing’s wrong. It’s good that you’re here. I plan to resign. I’ve also written my resignation letter.”
Jiang Yu was shocked when he heard this. He took two big steps forward, grabbed her wrist, and asked, “Why are you resigning? Did I do something wrong?”
Ye Xue shook her head yet again. “You didn’t do anything wrong, It was my fault. Xinyue Group isn’t the right place for me. Thank you for taking care of me during this period of time. I’m very grateful.”
“How could it be a bad fit? Manager Zhang said that you performed very well, and the new proposal is also very good. When this proposal is finalized, you can…”
Before Jiang Yu could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Ye Xue. “Xinyue Group really isn’t suitable for me. Let’s not meet anymore. It’s not good to let your girlfriend misunderstand.”
Did he have a girlfriend?
Jiang Yu was stunned for a few seconds, then he grasped the main point of the sentence. “When did I have a girlfriend? Why didn’t I know?”
Ye Xue frowned. “Is there a need to hide that you have a girlfriend? You weren’t like this in the past. I really didn’t expect you to be a scumbag as well.”.
The word “scumbag’ left Jiang Yu slightly stunned. He had been single for so long. When did he become a scumbag?
He didn’t know what to say. “Xiao Xue, you have to have proof before you speak. Doesn’t your conscience hurt when you say that about me?”
“You should be the one with a pricked conscience.” Ye Xue wanted to pull her hand back, but she couldn’t. She glared at Jiang Yu. “Let go of me this instant. I want to go home.”
Jiang Yu didn’t let go. Instead, he held her in his arms. Perhaps it was because he saw that she was still wearing the scarf that he had given her. It made him unable to restrain his impulse to hug her. Through the wide down jacket, he could feel that her slender body had long lost its baby fat.
“Xiao xue, I don’t have a girlfriend. Other than dating you, I haven’t dated anyone else. I haven’t even flirted with anyone. Don’t you trust me?”
‘The sudden hug stunned Ye Xue. She didn’t know if she should believe his words. When she saw someone walking over, she hurriedly pushed him. “Jiang Yu, what are you doing? Let go of me.”
