Chapter 28: Chapter 28 How Can Jiang Nanshu Be So Fickle? Chapter 28: Chapter 28 How Can Jiang Nanshu Be So Fickle? “Ah?” Lin Yueyue forgot to cry.
She looked bewildered with her beautiful eyes at Jiang Nanshu, who seemed even angrier than she was.
Jiang Nanshu patted her shoulder, “Don’t worry, I only recognize you as my sister-in-law!”
Lin Yueyue: “…”
She was already sweating bullets.
Jiang Nanshu dragged her to the finance department, and as soon as everyone saw him, they knew he was up to something again, especially in the finance department, so they all followed to watch the drama.
The broadcasting department’s class president who had asked Jiang Nanshu to sign the form last time was named Hu Ying, and she was the first to rush over at the sight of a commotion, with her group of girlfriends in tow.
She even mocked Jiang Nanshu, “You became famous again yesterday, huh? Why do you keep setting yourself up as a negative example? It’s embarrassing how you keep bouncing back like this.”
Jiang Nanshu was utterly confused, “What’s the gossip? Please, do tell.”
Hu Ying gave a peculiar look. Normally, she was the first to know any news about Lu Qingyan without needing anyone to tell her, becoming more indomitable the more setbacks she faced on the road to love.
With that thought, scorn flashed through her eyes; she truly despised such sycophants and love-sick puppies.
She then shook her phone in front of him with a smile full of schadenfreude, “So it turns out Su Ran’s past with Lu Qingyan was quite something, huh? I didn’t know that. Not only is she Lu Qingyan’s ‘Bai Yueguang’ but also his first love.”
And there it was on Weibo, ranking first and second:
Explosive#SuRanLuQingyanFirstLove
Explosive#SuRanLuQingyanReunion
Who is Lu Qingyan?
The Lu Family Crown Prince, a person whom everybody in the Beijing Circle sought to flatter and please.
A noble gentleman truly cultivated by a distinguished family.
Every move he made was filled with a sense of inherent nobility.
As for Su Ran, she wasn’t even a third-tier celebrity at the moment, barely making a name for herself as a budding actress in the entertainment industry, appearing only in web dramas.
If her connection with Lu Qingyan was revealed, it would undoubtedly smooth the way for her career.
Someone even dug up a photo from six years ago, where the two wore the same high school uniform.
Lu Qingyan was holding a book; his features still tender, his demeanor gentle, with eyes like a galaxy. Su Ran wore her hair in a high ponytail, her face natural and fresh. Her good looks were impressive. She held an ice cream and appeared to be talking to Lu Qingyan—a moment unwittingly captured.
There was a notable difference between the him in the photo and the him now.
He used to be full of life, warmth, and approachable; whereas now, time had smoothed his edges, leaving him indifferent, taking life as it comes.
Many of their high school classmates came forward to testify that they indeed were close “friends” back then.
The vile rumors of Su Ran “sleeping with the director for roles” suddenly cleared up.
She knew the Lu Family Crown Prince; which female star would then need to sleep with directors or old men investors?
But the trending topic didn’t remain for half an hour before it was swiftly taken down.
Even the hashtags became unsearchable.
Without a doubt, it was the work of the Lu Family’s public relations. Presently, Lu Qingyan was officially engaged to Jiang Nanshu.
Seeing Jiang Nanshu not reacting, Hu Ying frowned and pressed, “Aren’t you upset?”
Jiang Nanshu immediately put on a disconsolate face, “No, I’m so upset I’ve lost the ability to manage my expressions. I’m this miserable. My Fifth Brother definitely can’t end up like me. I can do without love, but my Fifth Brother must have it!”
Hu Ying: “…” That’s so perfunctory.
When I reached the finance department classroom, the class had just ended.
Lu Qingyan was reading with his head lowered, the warm yellow sunlight of the early morning streaming in from the window, dancing across his cool, detached eyebrows and eyes, making him look exceptionally gentle.
Jiang Nanshu was so transfixed that she had to admit the author of the original book blew Lu Qingyan’s looks out of proportion.
“Lu Qingyan is really handsome, and Liang Ciqiu isn’t bad either. Maybe it’s time to secretly swoop in and sponsor him.”
A familiar voice echoed in his ears, and Lu Qingyan accidentally snapped the pen in his hand.
He looked up from his book and immediately focused on Jiang Nanshu, who was coming into his classroom with a grand entourage.
His originally gentle brows and eyes instantly turned cold—so she still hadn’t given up on finding that pretty boy?
Although he couldn’t say he was particularly fond of Jiang Nanshu, they were engaged, and he hadn’t broken it off. His grandfather wouldn’t allow the marriage to fall through; he would be loyal to the marriage. But how could Jiang Nanshu be so fickle?
Eating from the bowl and looking at what’s in the pot!
He was genuinely infuriated.
But this time, Jiang Nanshu’s target was obviously not him. She glanced at him and then looked away, making her way over to Jiang Yunchuan, who was sleeping with his head on the table.
A slap that sounded like thunder.
Jiang Yunchuan jumped up in fright, landing on his rear on the ground, his face pale as a sheet: “An earthquake?”
As he looked up, he saw Jiang Nanshu’s stern face, and he relaxed, rubbing his eyes, “Why are you here?” He then shifted his gaze to Lin Yueyue, his tone dissatisfied, “Why are you still here? Didn’t we break up? Why are you still clinging to me?”
Lin Yueyue’s eyes immediately reddened: “Yunchuan, if I did anything wrong, just tell me, and I’ll change. I can’t take you acting like this.”
“Tsk tsk, the female playgirl really has some acting chops. Is Fifth Brother out of his mind to break things off?”
“Yeah, if you have any complaints about our Yueyue, just say it. We can solve it together. It’s not right for you to toy with her feelings like this. What is she supposed to do?” Jiang Nanshu also chimed in righteously.
Jiang Yunchuan glared: “Jiang Nanshu, whose side are you on?”
Jiang Nanshu took a firm stance: “Of course, I’m on Yueyue’s side. I’m clear about my debts of gratitude and grudge. I’m truly moved by her love for you. If necessary, she can spend an extra hour with you in the future. Stop being so temperamental and forgive her!”
Jiang Yunchuan: “…”
Why did this sound so familiar?
It was like when Jiang Nanshu used to hinder him in the past, and he’d impatiently tell her to stop being temperamental. The goodness of Lin Yueyue wasn’t something a shameless person like her could understand…
Lin Yueyue wiped her tears, attempting to grab Jiang Yunchuan, but as he scrambled back as if she were venomous, she was left reaching out awkwardly into thin air, biting her lower lip, tears streaking her face: “Yunchuan… you chased after me for two years. Was all of that fake? So, once you got me, not cherishing it is a common flaw among you men?”
Jiang Nanshu nodded in agreement at her side.
“Indeed, wildflowers always seem sweeter than the ones at home—what a scumbag!”
“Fifth Brother, did you get another side piece?” Jiang Nanshu’s tone was sharp.
What did she mean by ‘another’? Jiang Yunchuan felt he was being incredibly wronged.
Lin Yueyue took a deep breath and decided to back off as a strategy. Seeking reconciliation now was unwise; she needed to figure out what the real issue was.
Then, with much sobbing and crying, she ran off: “Jiang Yunchuan, you’ll regret this!”
Jiang Nanshu watched this abysmal soap opera unfold.
“Hey! The con isn’t over—how come you’re breaking up already, Fifth Brother hasn’t even handed over his newly founded game company to her yet!”
Jiang Yunchuan couldn’t believe that he could actually be this stupid, gifting the game company he worked hard to create to Lin Yueyue?
He was starting to doubt his life choices.
It wasn’t until Jiang Nanshu kicked him without courtesy that he snapped back to reality.
“What are you spacing out for? Go after her!”
