After dinner, Yu itong left with Lu Jiaxin, and they were suddenly stopped at the door. Seeing it was Tao Yong, Lu Jiaxin said, "Ah Zhan is still inside and hasn’t co out."
Tao Yong pointed at itong and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, I have sothing to say to Yu itong."
Yu itong’s face flashed with a trace of panic, and her words were sowhat hurried: "I have nothing to say to you."
Seeing her expression, Lu Jiaxin was quite puzzled at what was going on between these two. However, she didn’t ask on the spot but rather said, "itong just had a bit to drink, so unless it’s sothing really urgent, let’s talk another day!"
Tao Yong hesitated for a mont but then nodded.
After getting in the car and leaving the hotel, Lu Jiaxin asked, "What’s going on? Since when did you and Tao Yong have dealings?"
Yu itong, seeing that she couldn’t hide it, said with a bitter face, "The day I broke up with Jiang Yuanjiu, I was in a terrible mood, so I invited a friend to a bar to drink. Both my friend and I were too drunk to know anything, and a man tried to take away, but Tao Yong, who was drinking in the bar, happened to see it. He noticed I was unconscious and saved from that man, and sent to a hotel."
This was just a conveniently done good deed and a sort of help, and one would assu it was logical. Lu Jiaxin continued to ask, "Since he saved you, you should treat him to a al as thanks, so why are you having this kind of attitude towards him instead?"
Yu itong didn’t know what to say.
Seeing her struggle to speak, Lu Jiaxin had a stroke of genius and asked, "Don’t tell , Tao Yong is pursuing you?"
It’s mainly because I’ve watched too many lodramas in my past life, so my thinking tends to be quite scattered.
If that’s the case, it’s just too lodramatic.
Yu itong thought Lu Jiaxin was really sharp to have guessed without being told: "Yes, after he found out I was single, he started pursuing . He was Shi Xinyu’s fiancé before, and I am Fu Ye’s fiancée, I don’t know what he’s thinking."
Lu Jiaxin also didn’t know what to say. If just based on conditions, Tao Yong is indeed a good catch, but this relationship is sowhat awkward.
Seeing her silent, Yu itong said, "You think it’s inappropriate too, right?"
If it were Lu Jiaxin, she would definitely refuse, but now she was unsure of Yu itong’s attitude. After considering for a mont, she said, "What I think isn’t important, what’s important is whether you have feelings for him? If not, just make it clear; if you do, missing a good match because of concerns about the past is too silly."
Yu itong shook her head and said, "I haven’t thought that far, just feel it’s very awkward."
"Then think it over when you get back."
Yu itong was silent for a while before nodding.
Lu Jiaxin then switched topics to talk about company matters. Many of the new models of Five Auspicious Jewelry are her creations. Also, because of Yu itong, she is well versed in the matters of the design departnt.
After returning ho, Lu Jiaxin went upstairs to rest, and when she woke up, she heard voices outside. Opening the curtains, she saw it was Nie Zhan and Tao Yong. Since she moved here, this was the first ti Tao Yong visited.
Lu Jiaxin didn’t go to bother them, she did yoga for half an hour and then read the newspaper, by the ti she went downstairs, Tao Yong had already left.
"What did he co for?"
Nie Zhan poured her a glass of water and then said with a smile, "He wants to expand his investnt company and asked to invest."
All bosses want to grow their company bigger and stronger, just like she does. Lu Jiaxin said, "It’s said that his investnt company is doing quite well, if the future looks good, investing a bit might be okay."
Nie Zhan shook his head and said, "I didn’t agree to invest, his investnt company’s limit is there, and I wouldn’t earn much from investing."
If encountering difficulties that need help, as a friend, he would definitely help. But speaking in business terms, Tao Yong’s investnt company’s current valuation is 700 to 800 million, and in his estimation, 1 billion is the ceiling. Investing in it now wouldn’t earn much for him. His own companies have good prospects, so there’s no need to spend money on such a low-return project.
Lu Jiaxin supported his decision imdiately upon hearing this, but quickly sighed, "Being a boss is quite stressful. When the scale is small, you want to grow it big and strong, but once you actually succeed in making a big company, you lose your freedom."
Nie Zhan smiled and said, "What, you want to travel again?"
He knows that Lu Jiaxin’s dream is to travel the world, but so far, the places she has visited can be counted on one hand. He’s been advising her not to work so hard, but she just won’t listen, which is quite worriso.
Lu Jiaxin expressed that there are many things in the company now, so even if she wanted to, there’s no ti: "Did you know that Tao Yong wants to pursue Sister itong?"
Nie Zhan was very surprised and asked, "Ah, Tao Yong wants to pursue Yu itong, what happened?"
Lu Jiaxin said that all she knew was what Yu itong told her, "Now that he’s a man with a few billion to his na and maintains a good relationship with his family, he should be able to marry a girl of equal standing, right?"
Nie Zhan said that Tao Yong’s family has indeed introduced him to many excellent girls, but he hasn’t been interested in any of them. It’s not that his standards are too high, but rather that he’s been tornted by Shi Xinyu and has a shadow over relationships, not daring to date. Another difficult girlfriend would be too much for him.
Lu Jiaxin understood instantly and said, "You an that Sister itong’s independent nature attracted Tao Yong."
Nie Zhan agreed, "Miss Yu is beautiful, independent, and has a respectable job. Most importantly, Tao Yong knows she’s not a difficult woman, and perhaps that’s what moved him."
"Jiaxin, Tao Yong is serious about his feelings. If he’s pursuing Yu itong, he’s certainly thought it through and is aiming for marriage. So let’s just let things take their course and not interfere."
Lu Jiaxin looked at him and asked, "What do you an by ’let’s not interfere’? Are you saying you’re worried I’ll ddle and co between them?"
Nie Zhan imdiately clarified that he didn’t an that, and she wasn’t the type to break up couples either: "Tao Yong, besides talking about investnts this ti, also asked to say good things about him in front of you."
Lu Jiaxin scoffed, "So asking for investnt was just an excuse, and getting to say good things was the real intention?"
Having such a smart girlfriend isn’t necessarily a good thing, one lapse and the conversation can turn. Nie Zhan said, "He’s already 32, and he wants to get married too. Plus, his parents have asked as well, so I hope he can settle down soon."
This excuse was found well, so Lu Jiaxin let it slide: "When Sister itong told about it today, I advised her not to worry about past issues and to follow her heart."
If Tao Yong and Yu itong’s affair succeeds, it’s good, and if it doesn’t, it’s also fine. But asking her to say good things about Tao Yong, that’s not going to happen.
After hearing this, Nie Zhan felt relieved. There’s nothing he can do, it seems his girlfriend has a kind of magic that convinces everyone around her. If she had said that the relationship was awkward and uncomfortable, then Tao Yong would have no chance. He smiled and said, "If it works out, let him treat us to a al."
Lu Jiaxin wasn’t so optimistic: "This depends on itong’s feelings. Maybe she has no feelings for Tao Yong, and you’ll be happy for nothing."
As soone with experience, Nie Zhan said, "If she didn’t have feelings, she wouldn’t be avoiding him but directly scolding him instead."
Lu Jiaxin couldn’t help but laugh, considering Yu itong’s current fierce nature, that indeed might be the case.
