Chapter 115: He Wants A Shortcut, Skipping Twenty Years Of Hustle
Xie Jingyan looked indifferent. Seeing Jiang Ning look over, he frowned slightly and urged: “Can you walk faster? There are so many people lined up behind.”
Jiang Ning: “…”
She could only walk forward.
After going in, she pulled Sui Tang, who was eating ice cream, to the side and asked: “Why did you all come?”
Sui Tang blinked her big eyes: “I originally made plans with He Shang to go to KTV on Saturday. Jin He said she could get people together for a party, but He Shang wanted to go to the concert with Xie Jingyan, so we all came together.”
She turned to look at Shen Jinhe: “Right?”
Shen Jinhe glanced at Jiang Ning: “Yes, we’re not like someone who came sneakily.”
Jiang Ning: “…”
She looked at Sui Tang with indescribable feelings: “You’ve only known her for a day, how is your relationship already so good?”
Sui Tang: “Jin He is pretty nice. What’s wrong with being friends with her?”
Shen Jinhe narrowed her eyes: “Jiang Ning, do you have something against me?”
“No, what opinion could I have about you? I’m just asking.” Jiang Ning glanced at Xie Jingyan not far away and sneered: “So Xie Jingyan wanted to come, and you all came along conveniently?”
Sui Tang nodded uncertainly: “Probably.”
“…”
Wei Jin went to find seats.
Jiang Ning stood at the entrance waiting until Xie Jingyan had his ticket checked. Then she ordered coldly with a straight face: “Come over here.”
Without waiting for Xie Jingyan to react, she walked off first.
He Shang was upset: “Damn, what kind of attitude is that! Too vicious. Isn’t this treating you like a dog? Yan-ge, let’s not go. What kind of person is she?”
Xie Jingyan showed no expression. He glanced at Wei Jin not far away, then headed in Jiang Ning’s direction, mocking himself: “What can be done? Who let her be the sponsor and me the servant?”
He Shang: “…”
He looked at Xie Jingyan’s back view with heartache. He really was enduring humiliation and bearing heavy responsibilities just to bring down the Jiang Family.
So he had to step it up too.
He looked at Sui Tang, hesitated for a long time, then casually said to her: “Sui Tang, did you buy that stock I recommended to you last time?”
At the mention of this, Sui Tang’s eyes lit up. She looked at He Shang with some admiration: “Yeah, you’re amazing. I invested fifty thousand, and now it’s up to five hundred thousand. I’m going to be a little rich girl.”
“Haha… really? Did you tell your dad…?”
Sui Tang scratched her head: “I did. He even praised me. I told him your name.”
He Shang’s heart jumped to his throat: “Ah? What did your dad say?”
“He said you have good insight and are very shrewd.” Sui Tang finished with a grin.
He Shang tugged at his lips, not feeling particularly happy inside, while Sui Tang kept giggling foolishly.
He was especially conflicted and let out a light breath: “You’ve made so much, why not sell?”
Sui Tang blinked: “Didn’t you say this stock would keep rising for the next few months? Why sell?”
“I was just saying it casually. Now that we’re in, let me see where our seats are—A3 row 45, 46, 47, 48, all together.” He Shang said this and went inside to find the seats.
Shen Jinhe narrowed her eyes: “Tangtang, why do I feel like He Shang is acting a bit strange?”
Strange?
Sui Tang didn’t think anything was wrong. She pulled her inside: “He’s just like that, always worrying unnecessarily, like an old nanny. Standing is so tiring, let’s go sit.”
Shen Jinhe grew up in the Capital City. She only came to Jin Cheng during high school because her maternal grandmother was retiring here. She missed her dearly and didn’t want the elderly woman running back and forth, so Shen Jinhe transferred to the aristocratic private school in Jin Cheng to accompany her for three years. Afterward, she would go abroad for further studies.
She had been clever since childhood, and her family raised her as the successor, so she was extremely good at reading people. She always felt something was off about He Shang, but Sui Tang trusted him too much.
She could only shake her head helplessly: “Just be careful yourself. As for the stock you invested in, small investments are for fun, big ones can bankrupt you. Sell when you should.”
Sui Tang nodded in confusion.
After Wei Jin entered the stadium, he didn’t see Jiang Ning. There were too many people, and she didn’t reply to his message.
He came out and happened to see Shen Jinhe.
He walked up and asked: “Where’s Jiang Ning? Where did she go?”
Shen Jinhe shrugged: “No idea. Just wait.”
Wei Jin: “…”
On the other side.
Stadium second floor fence.
This spot was some distance from the venue, with fans coming and going to enter the stadium.
Jiang Ning leaned on the fence, blowing in the night breeze. Her beautiful eyes glanced faintly at him, her tone slow: “Are you stalking me?”
Xie Jingyan walked to her side and looked up at the dim sky. At the top hung a full moon, and the sky was dotted with stars. Tomorrow would be clear.
“No.” He denied flatly.
The night wind made his clothes rustle, lifting his black hair and revealing his stunningly beautiful profile.
“You think I’ll believe that? What a coincidence we meet at the concert again.” Jiang Ning pressed on.
“Yeah, what a coincidence.” Silver-white moonlight sprinkled down, making the shadows on the ground mottled. Xie Jingyan slightly curved his peach blossom eyes, his face like fresh frost—cold and clean: “Are we a bit too fated?”
“Bullshit fate.” Jiang Ning was annoyed: “I think you just want to eat soft rice, you little pretty boy.”
Jiang Ning ruled out the possibility of herself being discovered, so how could Xie Jingyan like a vicious woman who bullied him for a year? There was only one possibility.
He wanted a shortcut, to succeed without twenty years of struggle.
He really was enduring humiliation and bearing heavy responsibilities.
Jiang Ning condemned him inwardly while looking outwardly furious.
“Little pretty boy?” Xie Jingyan savored the three words, suddenly finding it amusing: “Then tell me, with my appearance, how much could I make eating soft rice each month?”
Jiang Ning: “???”
She actually thought about it carefully and answered uncertainly: “Around five hundred thousand? If the rich woman you latch onto has strength, you could get a house, a car, plus one million a month.”
With Xie Jingyan’s male fox spirit looks, those Capital Circle and Shanghai Circle rich women would love him to death.
“How much is your monthly pocket money?” Xie Jingyan asked again.
Jiang Ning huffed lightly, raising her brow: “At least fifty thousand. Don’t be jealous; these aren’t things you can have now.”
Xie Jingyan chuckled lightly, his voice mocking: “If you can’t even afford me for a month, what right do you have to say I’m eating your soft rice?”
Jiang Ning: “…”
She was stunned by Xie Jingyan’s logic.
“Or do you think I’m eyeing your fifty thousand a month? That I have to cling to you every day?”
Xie Jingyan stepped closer: “Can you give me five hundred thousand at once? Buy me a car, buy me a house, and wire another million for fun. Jiang Ning, can you afford to keep me?”
Jiang Ning: “…”
Seeing her speechless.
He continued slowly: “So you have no qualification to scold me for eating soft rice. Wait until you have that kind of strength, then scold me however you want. I can be your little pretty boy without refuting.”
Jiang Ning was stunned: “…No, big bro, you… you…”
Jiang Ning wanted to say something, but Xie Jingyan’s chaotic logic had burned out her CPU.
