Tang Beibeiâs phone rang again as she walked out of the school gate. It was an unknown number.
She rejected the call and said, âAre salespeople bombarding us now by calling us from different numbers non-stop?â
Fu Jin said, âIt might be from a different company. I also received a call promoting real estate.â
Tang Beibei got into his car and said with her chin on her hand, âReal estate prices are crazy here. Fifty to sixty thousand yuan per square meter is considered cheap. Who can afford it?â
Fu Jin didnât know whether to laugh or cry when he saw her in the back seat.
âBeibei, why arenât you riding shotgun?â
Tang Beibei explained seriously, âMy husband reminded me that only the girlfriend or wife should ride shotgun. Iâm not your girlfriend or wife. I didnât know that before but now that I do, I canât sit in front.â
Fu Jin laughed in amusement. Jiang Jingchen was definitely a dog with very strong wolf genes to be so possessive.
Tang Beibeiâs phone rang again. It was another unknown number.
She was a little frustrated. âAre all the salespeople targeting me today?â
The more these calls came, the more rebellious she felt. She didnât want to answer the call and rejected it.
When they arrived at the dance studio, the two of them practiced with their phones on silent in their bags put at the side. The music in the training room drowned out any vibration sounds from their phones.
At the TCM faculty deanâs office in schoolâ¦
Jiang Minghua sat opposite the dean as she waited for him to call Tang Beibei over.
Since Tang Beibei didnât answer her call, she would look for her in person at the TCM faculty of A-University.
The dean phoned Tang Beibei. The first call didnât go through, neither did the second nor the third.
The dean also felt very helpless. âTang Beibei must be busy or doesnât have her phone with her. Iâm really sorry, Miss Jiang.â
She was the first young miss of the Jiang family; he had to give her face.
Jiang Minghua was a little angry. âSheâs a student. What can she be busy with?
She didnât pick up my calls, and she didnât pick up yours either. Sheâs has quite a temper.â
The dean smiled politely; it wasnât something heâd like to comment on.
Tang Beibei was Jiang Jingchenâs wife, and Jiang Jingchen was the first young master of the Jiang family. Although he wasnât favored at home, he was still the first young master and Jiang Minghuaâs eldest brother.
Tang Beibei was her sister-in-law. It was inappropriate for an outsider like him to interfere in conflict between sisters-in-law.
âThen, please find out who sheâs usually with. You need to help me find her.â The dean had no choice but to call the guidance counsellor in charge of Tang Beibeiâs class over. However, a teacher told him that the previous counsellor, Teacher Wan, had been transferred and her replacement hadnât been named.
However, the dean could try calling Tang Beibeiâs class monitor for help.
The dean found Fu Jinâs number and called him twice. Similarly, no one picked up, so he hit the wall too.
âThis class monitor is quite arrogant. He doesnât even answer the deanâs call.â
In the deanâs mind, students had their own matters to attend to. What if they went to the library to study and turned off their phones?
He wouldnât be angry at such hardworking students. Heâd be very happy instead.
But he still had to somehow please Jiang Minghua, a daughter of a rich family.
âThird Young Miss, Iâm afraid we wonât be able to find Tang Beibei today. Why donât you come another day?â
Jiang Minghua was annoyed. She made time to come to Tang Beibeiâs school to find her, but she got nothing.
âThen Iâll come back tomorrow. I must find Tang Beibei.â
The dean replied, âThird Young Miss, tomorrow is the weekend. There are no classes. Miss Tang wonât be in school.â
That meant that Jiang Minghua had to figure out something else if she wanted to find Tang Beibei tomorrow or the day after.
Jiang Minghua was so angry that she squeezed her bag and left the deanâs office unhappily.
After she left, the dean shook his head helplessly.
Tang Beibei was Professor Chenâs student, and Professor Chen was famous for being protective of his students. The Jiangs shouldnât bring their family problems to school or thereâd be another bloodbath.
Two hours later, dance training ended and Tang Beibei turned on her phone.
She saw missed calls from three or four unknown numbers. She really admired those salespeople.
They would definitely close sales with such perseverance.
Fu Jin turned on his phone and realized that he had missed calls too, from an unknown number.
They were students, so they wouldnât know the deanâs number. It was also the first time he received a call from the deanâs office, so it was an unknown number.
âDonât tell me Iâm also on someoneâs outbound sales call list.â
Tang Beibei glanced at his phone and exclaimed, âItâs the same number that called me. How strange.â
Fu Jin dialed the number. When the receiver said that he was the dean of the TCM faculty, he felt a little awkward.
âIâm sorry, Dean. We were at dance practice and our phones were on silent.â
The dean replied with a smile, âIâm okay. Itâs the third young miss of the Jiang family, Jiang Minghua, who couldnât contact Tang Beibei and asked me to find her. She only went home after I couldnât find Tang Beibei.â
Fu Jin glanced at Tang Beibei. âWhy is she looking for her?â
âThat girl looked okay when she came here but when she couldnât find Tang Beibei in school, she looked angry. It didnât look like something good. Fu Jin, are you with Tang Beibei?â
Everyone in school knew that Tang Beibei was Professor Chenâs student and a good dancer. The dean played dumb earlier because he also didnât want Jiang Minghua to find Tang Beibei.
âYes.â
âTell her to stay away from Jiang Minghua to avoid any conflict.â
âJiang Minghua is Jiang Xingâs favorite daughter and the only daughter of the
Jiang family. Although Jiang Jingchen is the eldest son, if they get into a conflict, Miss Tang will suffer.â
Tang Beibei was a student of his faculty after all, so the dean was protective of her.
Fu Jin nodded yes and said thank you to the dean before he hung up.
Tang Beibei was puzzled. âWho is it?â
âThe dean of the TCM faculty was looking for me. He couldnât find me, so he tried calling you.â
Fu Jin didnât want to tell Tang Beibei about Jiang Minghua.
He took Tang Beibeiâs phone and blocked an earlier unknown number that called her many times.
âI blocked the earlier number which we suspected was a salesperson so you wonât be disturbed.â
Tang Beibei held her phone, saw the two missed calls from the dean and felt bad for being so immature.
The two of them were standing close to each other and speaking in hushed voices. The other trainees looked at them strangely.
Some of them were cursing in their hearts that Tang Beibei was shameless. She already had such a handsome husband, yet she was seducing the captain. How shameless!
Ye Lanâs eyes were cold as she took out her phone and quietly recorded the scene.
Tang Beibei had no idea what others were thinking. When she received Jiang Jingchenâs call, she packed her bag to leave.
Fu Jin also got up and walked out of the dance studio with her.
When he saw Jiang Jingchen, he asked Tang Beibei to get in the car first because he had something to say to Jiang Jingchen.
Tang Beibei was puzzled. âWhat is it that you canât tell me and must tell my husband?â
Fu Jin said calmly, âItâs something men talk about. Iâm learning from your husband how to woo girls. Itâs not convenient for you to listen.â
Tang Beibei looked at Fu Jin strangely. Why did Fu Jin need to learn how to woo girls from her husband?
Was her husband very experienced?
She reluctantly got into the car and closed the door. She leaned against the window and listened attentively.
Fu Jin turned sideways and asked Jiang Jingchen over.
Jiang Jingchen crossed his arms and looked at Fu Jin coldly.
Fu Jinâs serious expression didnât look like he was learning anything from Jiang Jingchen. He looked like he was warning him about something.
Fu Jin said, âJiang Minghua is looking for Beibei. She went to our faculty and even asked the dean to call me. You should know the kind of character Third Young Miss is.â
Jiang Jingchen turned to look at him. âYou seem to pay more attention to my wife than your girlfriend?â
Fu Jin laughed in frustration. âMy girlfriend and I are very good!â
âTang Beibei and I canât be a couple, but I can still treat her like a sister. If you canât protect her, maybe you should let her go.â
âDream on!â
Jiang Jingchen chuckled coldly. âMind your own girlfriend. As for brother and sister, donât play such tricks.â
They were both men. How could a man really treat a woman he used to like as a sister?
Who would believe that?
Anyway, Jiang Jingchen couldnât do such a generous thing.
But Fu Jin was kind enough to warn him about Jiang Minghua.
âIâll handle this matter. Thank you for taking the trouble. Fu Jin, please know your limits. Everyone has their own place, so donât cross the line.â
Fu Jin was so angry that he looked up at the sky. This man was really jealous. âJiang Jingchen, why are you so nervous? Do you not trust yourself or Beibei?â âSigh. This is so unusual. Is the scary Mr.. Chen, who intimates people in the business world, afraid?â
