Chapter 134: Chapter 134: Gentlemen Should Avoid Suspicion

Old Sir Jiang felt indebted to the Gu Family and had always wanted to compensate them. Thus, over the past few decades, he took great care of the Gu family and showed much affection to the younger members.

It was just that the old man had been sent away in time and temporarily unaware of the things that had happened.

Otherwise, he would have feared...

"Big brother, you’re the one who caused this trouble, so hurry up and solve it. Since when do younger brothers take the fall for their elders?"

Old Sir Jiang’s rattan cane really hurt!

Jiang Ye was as calm as ever:

"What’s there to be afraid of? It’ll be quick!"

Quick?

"When?"

"Next month."

Hiss~

Not until next month?

Jiang Huai was about to speak up, but Jiang Ye had already taken the lead:

"Don’t worry, the Gu Family will just block you in the company, they wouldn’t dare do anything else."

Jiang Huai sighed:

"Big brother, do you really think it’s just the Gu Family? There’s also our confused aunt at home!

I’m scared of her. She has driven our mom back to her parents’ house."

"Jiang Qiu?"

"Yes."

Jiang Ye thought of what Lu Jing had told him before, about the close relationship between Jiang Qiu and Gu Xiyue.

"Jiang Huai, can you check if Jiang Qiu has any connection with the Gu Family?"

"Huh?"

"Just do as I tell you, no nonsense, and don’t ask too many questions."

"Alright then."

"Mhm, gotta go."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Ye entered his study to finish the work he hadn’t completed.

About twenty minutes later, Lu Jing came out of the bathroom:

"Jiang Ye, where is the hairdryer?" she called out.

The man lifted his head from the documents and then stood up.

He went straight to a cabinet.

He opened it and took out a hairdryer that had been lying there for who knows how long.

The man rarely used the thing, so after buying it, it just sat in the cabinet.

Lu Jing reached out to take it but was sidestepped by the man:

"I want to test if it still works."

It had been stored for quite some time, and he feared it might malfunction.

Fortunately, after trying it out, there were no issues like short-circuits.

As Lu Jing was drying her hair, the man quickly took a shower, his body still dripping wet.

He got a glass of water from the kitchen and brought it to the woman:

"Drink some water."

Lu Jing wasn’t very thirsty, but since the water was brought to her lips, she politely took a few sips.

As usual, the rest was gulped down by the man.

"I’m going to bed."

Her hair was dry, and it was almost midnight.

The man responded with a grunt, then said:

"I’ll grab a pillow."

???

Lu Jing was a bit slow to react, but the man chuckled and then leaned in close, lowering his voice:

"Can’t bear to part with me?"

Hiss!

"Who can’t bear to part with you? I’d be delighted!"

It was not about not wanting to, she was just surprised. When had this man ever proactively suggested he should sleep outside?

Every time before, he would shamelessly...

Never mind!

Jiang Ye came out with a pillow from the bedroom and tossed it directly onto the sofa.

Seeing this, Lu Jing said nothing more and turned to go into the room.

Actually, she could understand.

Little Yaoyao was asleep in the room, and Jiang Ye, a grown man, obviously needed to maintain propriety.

...

In the room, Lu Jing quickly lay down on the bed and kissed Little Yaoyao, who was sleeping beside her.

Yaoyao had been mostly raised by Lu Jing since birth.

There was no helping it; who told Yaoyao to have such unreliable parents?

Thus, their bond was extraordinarily strong.

Not by blood, yet closer than kin!

Meanwhile, Jiang Ye returned to his study and busied himself for a while.

It was around one o’clock in the morning when he finally finished his work and stepped out.
