It was rare that he wasnât wearing a uniform today. His black windbreaker made him look tall and sharp, but even in his casual clothes, the man still exuded coldness and aloofness.
He came alone without any guards, and his aura was incompatible with the restaurantâs environment. Jing Tong suppressed her beating heart and was about to look away, but she didnât expect the manâs dark gaze to land on her, and even look straight into her eyes.
Jing Tong couldnât help widening her eyes and staring at him. She didnât look away until three seconds later.
âJiang Yu?â Tang Ranran broke the silence first. âLong time no see. Are you here for me?â
Jiang Yu looked at Tang Ranran.
âThatâs right,â he said coldly. âMs. Tang, your father is in a difficult situation now. Donât trouble him anymore.â
âYou caused most of my fatherâs difficulties.â Tang Ranran snorted. âTo be honest, Jiang Yu, why do you have to oppose my father? Canât we get married and turn hostility into friendship?â
âYou must be kidding, Ms. Tang.â Jiang Yu took two steps closer. âI heard from Ji Shiting that Star Hanâs source of funding is very interesting. If we follow this clue, weâll find something more interesting.â
Tang Ranran was furious. âWhat kind of men are you guys?â
âIt doesnât matter who we are. What matters is whether you can bear the consequences, Ms. Tang.â
It was a blatant threat.
Tang Ranran was so exasperated that she almost vomited blood.
She stood up and said, âJiang Yu, just you wait!â
Her first mission was to let her father be re-elected. If her father succeeded, she would have enough time and chance to take revenge on those two men who didnât know what was good for them!
Jing Tong hadnât expected Tang Ranran to be so weak. She had left after being threatened by Jiang Yu. It was one thing for her to leave, but she wasnât paying!
Jing Tong was still holding her chopsticks. She hesitated for a moment, put down her chopsticks and picked up the bill resignedly.
However, Jiang Yu grabbed her wrist and ordered, âContinue eating.â
âIâm full.â Jing Tong wasnât happy. âLet go. I want to go home.â
Jiang Yu looked at her and said, âOkay, Iâll go with you.â
Jing Tong was dazed. She thought she was hallucinating. âWhat did you say?â
âI came in a hurry, so I didnât bring my assistant and guards.â The man looked at her. âI have nowhere to go now.â
Jing Tong couldnât help chuckling. âAre you kidding? Just find a hotel and stay there. If you canât, you can contact Ji Shiting. He can provide you with a place to stay anytime.â
âThe hotel isnât safe. The Ji family is too eye-catching.â Jiang Yu looked at her. âYour residence is very safe. Iâve checked before. Itâs the most suitable place to stay.â
Jing Tong was dazed for a while before realizing that the man wasnât kidding.
âSorry, I live in a single apartment. Thereâs only one room and one bed. Thereâs no place for you to stay,â Jing Tong said and sneered. âBesides, even if I have an empty room at home, I wonât let you stay there.â
Jing Tong found his request unbelievable.
Jiang Yu frowned.
âLet go. Iâll pay the bill!â Jing Tong mumbled. âPeople who give treats but donât pay are the most shameless!â
She had spent half a monthâs salary on dinner, so how could she not be upset?
âIâll pay for you,â Jiang Yu suddenly said. âAs long as you can let me stay at your house for a night.â
