While the two were arguing.
There was a sound of the door opening and closing.
Su Lang came back.
"What are you guys talking about?"
Su Lang saw that the family was all red in the face and seemed to be arguing, so he couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
"No … nothing." Yang Jingwan's gaze was evasive.
"Oh, so it's our family's big shot." Li Manli said sarcastically.
"Didn't you say you could invite Ma Hongsheng over? Where is he now? Where is he?"
Hearing this.
A slightly depressed expression appeared on Su Lang's face as he said calmly, "I went to the hospital. Ma Hongsheng hasn't woken up yet, so I can't call him over for the time being."
[Ding, the host manipulated behind the scenes and destroyed the opportunity for the protagonist Su Lang to show off to the female lead Yang Jingwan's family. Received 300 villain points, Lang Su protagonist aura -15, Host villain aura + 15!]
"You really have a lot of excuses. You're so good at lying," Li Manli said in disdain.
"Mom, I'll go again tomorrow. I'll definitely help with dad's project."
"Stop bragging. Hurry up and cook, we're all hungry!"
Li Manli urged him angrily.
Seeing Li Manli's expression, Su Lang was too lazy to argue and went straight to the kitchen to cook.
Anyway, as long as Ma Hongsheng woke up, he would introduce some people to get the project and put the facts in front of Li Manli.
At that time, Li Manli would naturally shut up.
Thinking of this, Su Lang ran to the kitchen to cook without saying a word.
"Jingwan, you saw it, right? It's fine that Su Lang is trash, but he loves to brag," Li Manli lowered her voice and said to her daughter,
"You should hurry up and think of a way out."
"If your dad's project team can't get a job, it will be disbanded. Your dad borrowed a lot of money. If he can't get the project, he might even have to sell this apartment to pay off the debt. If you don't want to sleep on the streets, you should consider my suggestion."
After speaking, Li Manli shut up. She wanted her daughter to think quietly.
Yang Jingwan was silent. Her mind was in a mess.
Unknowingly, Su Lang had finished cooking.
The family began to eat.
While eating, Yang Jingwan was absent-minded. She didn't eat much.
She went back to her room and closed the door.
In the end, Yang Jingwan picked up her phone and found Qian Jun's number. She was about to call him.
"Wife?"
Su Lang's voice came from outside the door.
Yang Jingwan was shocked that her phone fell to the ground.
She hurriedly picked up her phone and went to open the door.
"Can't you lower your voice when you knock? What's the matter?"
"You don't seem to have any appetite. Are you feeling unwell?" Su Lang asked with a tender expression.
"I'm on a diet. I just don't want to eat," Yang Jingwan casually made up an excuse.
"Wife, your figure is already perfect. You don't need to lose weight. You should go down and eat more." Su Lang advised earnestly.
"You're so annoying. I already said I'm not eating," Yang Jingwan said impatiently. She just wanted to chase Su Lang away.
"I'm going to take a shower now. Why aren't you leaving?"
"Right away." Su Lang nodded and went downstairs obediently.
He was not angry about this.
Because he wanted to give her the greatest tolerance and love in the world.
That year.
He was twelve.
She was eight years old.
He lived on the streets and was on the verge of starving to death.
She was kind and gave him something to eat.
He survived.
Twelve years later, he became the God of War and was famous.
Then, he chose to retire at such a glorious moment.
He didn't forget the kindness of a meal back then.
He came back.
He came back to find her.
Although she didn't remember giving something to a little beggar.
But it was enough that he remembered.
He found her.
And he got one of his subordinates to pretend to be a fortune teller and deceive Yang Jingwan's parents.
He got Yang Jingwan to marry him.
Selfish?
No.
In his opinion, he was the most outstanding man in the world.
She would only be happy if she married him. This was the best outcome for her.
He wanted to protect her. He wanted to protect her for the rest of her life.
However, he didn't want to reveal his identity.
Because he didn't want to have any interests mixed in their relationship.
He wanted pure love.
Therefore, he wanted to use his identity as an ordinary person to win her love.
In the past year, Su Lang had suffered a lot from the Yang family. But he still silently endured and hid himself.
He wanted to use his sincerity to move Yang Jingwan.
But recently, Yang Tai's career had some problems and Li Manli was mocking him.
So Su Lang decided to make an exception and use his connections to help Yang Tai.
That was why the cocktail party happened.
But who knew that at the cocktail party, Ma Hongsheng suddenly fainted before he even saw him.
But it didn't matter.
It was just a matter of waiting a little longer.
***
After Su Lang left.
Yang Jingwan immediately called Qian Jun.
But the waiting tone only rang a few times before the other party hung up.
Yang Jingwan didn't dare to continue calling.
She heard that those rich young masters had a rich nightlife.
Presumably, Qian Jun was no exception. He might be doing something big at this time.
Yang Jingwan threw these complicated thoughts aside for the time being. She picked up her clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
She looked at her almost perfect self in the mirror and couldn't help but sigh.
Why was her life so hard when she had such good conditions to marry someone like Su Lang?
After taking a shower, Yang Jingwan went back to bed. She played with her phone while waiting for Qian Jun's call.
Time quietly passed by and Yang Jingwan was sleepy.
Suddenly, her phone vibrated.
Yang Jingwan woke up and looked at the caller ID. It was Qian Jun.
But wasn't it too long ago?
Young Master Qian took so long to finish. That's ridiculous …
Pfft, what am I thinking?
Yang Jingwan quickly shook off the strange thoughts in her mind and picked up the call.
"You're calling me so soon?"
Qian Jun's words had a deeper meaning.
Yang Jingwan was embarrassed. After taking a deep breath, she said shamelessly,
"Didn't you say today that if I need any help, I can look for you? My dad has an engineering team that wants to take on a project. So, I want to ask if you have any connections in this area that you can introduce me to?"
"Of course I do, but it's not convenient to talk about it over the phone. Let's meet outside."
Hearing Qian Jun's words, Yang Jingwan suddenly hesitated and asked tentatively,
"Then where should we meet?"
She had already made up her mind. If Qian Jun chose to meet somewhere like a hotel, she would never go.
"Do you know where Water Luster High School is? We'll meet there at 1 o'clock tomorrow."
Hearing Qian Jun's words, Yang Jingwan's suspicions were reduced by half and she immediately agreed.
"Okay, then it's settled. See you tomorrow."
