Tang Beibei wanted to study. After teasing her for a while, Jiang Jingchen didnât want to disturb her anymore and started working on his phone.
Song Kai managed to get some information from Jiang Minglang about a cross-province renewable energy project, known as Project G.
If Jiang Corporation took part in this project, not only would their reputation be boosted, but they would also make a lot of money. Therefore, Jiang Xing paid special attention to this project.
He planned a grand birthday banquet for himself mainly because he wanted to build relationships with various potential partners with whom he could work with on Project G.
How could Jiang Jingchen let Jiang Xing have his way?
Jiang Jingchen contacted Yang Hao and asked him to hijack the project, but the project required a lot of upfront investments; only big companies could afford to take it on.
Most of Jiang Jingchenâs business was overseas. He owned a few companies in China which were doing well but they were all relatively new and didnât have the manpower or the capital to take on Project G.
He asked Yang Hao to contact Wen Sang, the future successor of the Wen Family.
The Wen family kept a low profile and Old Master Wen was always recuperating from some illness. The direct descendants of the family were all living overseas. Now that Old Master Wen was seriously ill, the successor of the Wen family had returned to the country to slowly take over the family business.
Securing Project G would be a very important priority for the successor of the Wen family.
Jiang Jingchen contacted Yang Hao to tell Wen Sang not to contact him directly in future because it made his wife unhappy.
âI can give up a business deal, but 1 canât make my wife unhappy.â
Yang Hao was so baffled that he wanted to laugh. âSo we will not do business with any potential business partner whoâs a woman?â
âYou canât say that. Wen Sang bypassed you and contacted me directly this time. Itâs inappropriate. Itâs your fault, so you have to take responsibility.â Yang Hao retorted angrily, âDonât you know very well why Wen Sang did that? Youâre too charming, and girls like you. But you put the blame on me?â
As the successor of the Wen family, managing the familyâs businesses overseas was akin to developing foreign markets.
Jiang Jingchen had indeed interacted with Wen Sang several times before, but it was always over the phone. They had never met in person. However, it was unknown whether Wen Sang knew that he was the first young master of the Jiang family.
Because at that time, Jiang Jingchen always wore his mask with facial scars and deliberately hid his identity as the first young master of the Jiang family. Who would have thought that the woman remembered him after only a few conversations?
Yang Hao continued, âYou promised to help Wen Sang keep an eye on Wen Nan. Didnât you do that because you have feelings for her?â
âItâs a matter of mutual benefit. Thereâs no feelings to speak about.â
Jiang Jingchen continued, âMy wife took a bullet for me. She values me more than her own life. How can 1 make her sad?â
âThen you must really treat your wife better. Donât play with fire.â Yang Hao said.
Jiang Jingchen sighed. âYou may not understand this kind of thing as a singleton. After all, you do spend a lot of money for female company. You wonât know what itâs like to have a woman who is completely devoted to you.â
Yang Hao was stunned speechless.
âMy wife is also very cute. She will discuss anything with me and is especially easy to coax. Oh, she also studies. She is especially good at studying medicine.â âSong Zhouâs wound was bleeding non-stop. She went to find some Chinese herbs to stop the bleeding. The doctor said that Song Zhou was very lucky as those herbs saved his life. My wife isnât even a doctor yet, but sheâs already a little cutie who saves the world.â
Yang Hao rolled his eyes in frustration.
The man, who used to be quiet, was now going on and on about his wife. He was not stingy at all when it came to using positive adjectives on his wife. What show-off!
âI canât bear to make my cutie wife sad. Yang Hao, 1 beg you to be a human being. If another female business partner contacts me and causes trouble in my relationship, I will settle the score with you. If I suffer, you can forget about getting married in this lifetime!â
â⦠F*ck!â
Yang Hao was so angry that he cursed. Could the cutie of the Jiang family please take this manâs phone away?
Stop showing off already!
Jiang Jingchen wasnât angry when he received no reply from Yang Hao. He simply ended the call, put down his phone and kissed his little cutie.
His little cutie was very obedient. She kissed him back and asked him what was wrong.
Jiang Jingchen said with a smile, âIâm thirsty. I need to kiss you to quench my thirst.â
Tang Beibei laughed. How was kissing thirst-quenching? âGo get yourself a glass of water then. Iâll drink with you.â
Tang Beibei studied medicine and drank a lot of water every day. In contrast, Jiang Jingchen didnât care about these things. When he was working, he only drank coffee to keep himself alert. How could he remember to drink water?
She often reminded him, but even then, he might not drink it.
Often, she would pour herself a glass of water, take a sip, and then give the rest to him.
Jiang Jingchen fetched a glass of water and gave her a sip. He didnât drink from the glass. Instead, he kissed her to snatch the water from her mouth.
Tang Beibei reminded him helplessly, âIâm injured, and my body isnât in good condition. My immune system is compromised. It wonât be good if we got the kissing disease.â
Jiang Jingchen was stunned.â⦠Whatâs kissing disease?â
âKissing disease, professionally speaking, is infectious mononucleosis, a disease transmitted by contact with infected saliva. Itâs caused by the EB virus, which is a member of the herpes virus family.â
âAre you hinting that I should get tested?â
âNo, youâre in good health, but Iâm recovering from my injury, and I should be tested. You like to kiss me so much. If you get infected, youâll be very uncomfortable.â
The woman spoke in a serious and professional manner.
Jiang Jingchen laughed in exasperation. He was flirting with her, but she lectured him with medical theories.
He pinched her cheeks. His cute wife who had finally gained some weight had gotten thinner since her injuries.
Tang Beibei had to go back to school on Friday because that was when she would have her first paper of the final exams.
Jiang Xingâs birthday banquet was on Friday afternoon, and Jiang Jingchen had planned to attend.
In the morning, Jiang Jingchen called Fu Jin over to the hospital and asked him to drive the girls to school.
When Fu Jin arrived, even though he had good manners, he couldnât help but roll his eyes at Jiang Jingchen.
It was all because Jiang Jingchen was taking so long. He wanted to help Tang Beibei check her bag and make sure that she had brought everything. He kept reminding Tang Beibei to quit the exams if her arms hurt. She could always wait until next year to take the make-up exams.
Tang Beibei shook her head with a smile. She didnât want to take the make-up exams because she wouldnât get a scholarship that way.
Jiang Jingchen was so angry that his heart hurt. If he had known, he wouldnât have pretended to be poor. Tang Beibei was being so hard on herself because of that scholarship.
âAlright, Hubby. Iâll do my best for every paper. Donât worry.â
Did Jiang Jingchen care about her results?
No, he didnât care at all. He was just worried that she would force herself to take every paper even when she didnât feel well.
However, Tang Beibei insisted and could not be persuaded. He could only let her go.
Tang Beibei got into the car and said goodbye to him. Jiang Jingchen sat in his wheelchair for a long time before he went back to the hospital.
When it was almost time, he went to Song Zhouâs ward, changed into Ji Yiâs clothes, and left the ward.
He went downstairs and drove to a restaurant. After entering the restaurant, he went into a private room and then into another private room through the window. Yang Hao was eating inside.
He then changed into Yang Haoâs bodyguardâs clothes and left with Yang Hao to attend Jiang Xingâs birthday banquet.
Bodyguards were not allowed to enter the banquet venue, so Yang Hao had to go in first.
Jiang Jingchen was wearing glasses and a mask. He was leaning against the car when he saw Song Kai. He whistled at him.
Song Kai volunteered to help with the banquet. He was preparing drinks in the kitchen while waiting to bring a chef in.
When he saw Jiang Jingchen, he was stunned for a few seconds. He asked the staff to get him a chefâs uniform.
He took the uniform and threw it to Jiang Jingchen as he lectured, âYouâre so late. If you screw up tonight, Iâll deduct your salary!â
Jiang Jingchen held the chefâs uniform speechlessly..
