I must say, Little Yaoyao was still very alert in this regard.
"Mmm, I want to ask your mommy something."
Jiang Ye had asked Xiang Zheng before, but Xiang Zheng seemed not to be very clear on the matter.
So, the only option left was to ask Miss Dai.
In the end, Little Yaoyao still gave Jiang Ye her mommy’s contact information. When Jiang Ye called, Dai Changwan had just gotten into her car, preparing to head to the airport.
"Miss Dai, it’s Jiang Ye!"
After Jiang Ye introduced himself, there was silence on the phone for several seconds.
Then, a voice came through:
"Are you really Jiang Ye?"
"Guaranteed genuine."
This time, Dai Changwan regained her composure:
"Young Master Jiang, do you need something from me?" she asked.
"I think we need to talk."
"I want to know everything about Lu Jing’s years abroad!"
"Young Master Jiang, that’s a bit much.
You shouldn’t forget, you and Lu Lu broke up six years ago.
Her matters have nothing to do with you anymore!"
"Whether we broke up or not is between her and me. Now, tell me where you are, I’m coming to you!"
Dai Changwan curled the corner of her mouth, glancing outside the car window:
"I’m on my way to the airport, I have a flight in an hour." Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novel·fire.net
Half an hour later, at the airport cafe.
In a corner seat, a man and a woman sat facing each other.
Dai Changwan picked up her cup and took a couple of sips before setting it down:
"Young Master Jiang, let’s get straight to the point."
Jiang Ye didn’t touch his instant coffee, his expression remained cold:
"Has Lu Jing encountered something overseas these past years?"
"What exactly are you referring to, Young Master Jiang?"
"Miss Dai, there’s no need to beat around the bush with me. I won’t say I understand her completely, but at the very least I know her seventy to eighty percent. All of her reactions are pointing to an issue!"
Dai Changwan paused and laughed.
"I want to know one thing now. In what capacity exactly are you coming to me, Young Master Jiang?"
Her tone was calm, but each word she asked was sharp.
Jiang Ye wasn’t stupid, he smirked:
The coffee in Dai Changwan’s mouth sprayed out.
"Has she admitted it?" she countered.
Dai Changwan pulled a tissue from the table, her demeanor became more serious than before:
"I heard Actress Gu Daping was taken away, did you do that?"
"Weren’t you both childhood sweethearts meant to be together? And, it is said that the elders of both Jiang and Gu Families were very pleased with your marriage arrangement?"
Jiang Ye of course understood the implications in Dai Changwan’s words and uncharacteristically replied patiently:
"Whatever happens between the Jiang Family and the Gu Family is the elders’ affair, but no one can decide on my engagement!"
What he meant was: Whoever wants to have an arranged marriage should go for it.
"So, have you decided on Lu Lu? No matter what happens, it won’t change?"
The question obviously had a deeper meaning.
But Jiang Ye didn’t hesitate:
"Alright, then I’ll just believe you for now. I can tell you about Lu Lu’s matters.
Young Master Jiang, I hope you don’t let her down again!
She can’t bear it anymore!"
The two didn’t talk for long, and Jiang Ye soon got up and left the cafe.
Before leaving, he sincerely thanked Dai Changwan.
He thanked her for her frankness and also for taking care of his woman over the years.
After Jiang Ye left, Dai Changwan sat in her seat for about five more minutes, then wiped the corner of her eyes and got up.
She planned to make a phone call, but, thinking of something, she gave up.
At this moment, Jiang Ye was already on his way back.
The car was moving a bit too fast, his face looked as if it had suddenly lost all its color.
The atmosphere was extremely tense, with a chill hanging in the air.
