Chapter 218: Chapter 218 Who knew it would be exposed just like that

The court hearing had ended, and Jiang Ye had actually spotted the people early on.

Once it was over, he wanted to come over, but was stopped by his lawyer.

"Young Master Jiang, wait a moment."

He could only watch helplessly as they left.

....

Outside the courthouse, a group of people had just come out, followed closely by another group.

"Ru Yan, wait a moment."

Ru Yan?

Right, Ru Yan was Jiang’s mother’s maiden name, Su Ruoyan.

Those who can call her by name are at least peers.

Indeed, it was the elderly lady of the Gu Family.

Jiang’s mother paused in her tracks, her eyebrows instantly raised.

Then, she turned to Lu Jing and her own dear daughter and said:

"You two go ahead."

These people from the Gu Family were not easy to dismiss.

Jiang’s mother couldn’t bear to let the two young ladies deal with them.

Of course, she also didn’t want the younger generation to see some less than pleasant things.

Lu Jing and Jiang Yuan exchanged glances, then both nodded to Jiang’s mother:

"Aunt Su, we’ll go first then."

"All right."

You could bet your toes on why the Gu Family was stopping Jiang’s mother now, couldn’t you?

After all, even the old lady of the Gu Family had made an appearance.

And, it was very likely that they would also look for Lu Jing.

So leaving first was definitely the correct choice.

....

In the taxi, Jiang Yuan wanted to say something but hesitated, making Lu Jing’s scalp tingle.

"Just ask whatever you want."

Could you not look at me with those eyes?

It’s giving me the creeps.

True to the Jiang family style, their gaze when they stare at someone is just as sharp.

"Hehehe, Sister Lu, how did you and my brother... end up together?"

She was too curious.

It was beyond her wildest dreams, okay?

Lu Jing knew she couldn’t avoid this question, not now nor later.

"It just happened!"

"I heard that you two have been together for years, and you’ve been abroad these past years, and my brother couldn’t leave the country, so doesn’t that mean..."

"What?"

Jiang Yuan clicked her tongue several times, then burst into laughter:

"Hahaha, my brother actually willingly remained faithful all these years?"

Pff~

It’s too funny, I can’t stop laughing.

Lu Jing’s face turned a bit red.

She really didn’t know what to say.

Fortunately, she didn’t need to say anything, as Jiang Yuan, the chatty little whiz, went on and on by herself.

"Sister Lu, impressive, impressive, my brother is definitely a huge bootlicker in front of you!"

As expected, a bootlicker may be late, but will never be absent!

Even the Young Master of the Jiang Family can’t escape this curse!

Tsk, tsk.

Lu Jing felt awkward the whole journey, never getting a chance to interject.

Thankfully, there was no traffic jam, and the ride was smooth all the way.

In less than ten minutes, they arrived.

Lu Jing had already gotten out of the car, while Jiang Yuan was still grinning foolishly.

With a helpless shake of her head:

"Xiao Yuan, we’re here!" she called out to her.

Hearing this, Jiang Yuan hurriedly got out of the car.

She looked around:

"Sister Lu, this is... my brother’s workplace, right?"

Could it be...

Now that they were at the doorstep, Lu Jing couldn’t deny it anymore.

"Yes, it’s exactly what you’re thinking.

But, let’s keep my relationship with your brother a secret for now, my family doesn’t know yet."

Lu Jing felt a headache coming on just thinking about it.

What should she say?

Who knew it would all come out like this?

It was fine when the Jiang family didn’t know, but now that Father Jiang and Jiang’s mother are aware, it’s impossible to keep it hidden.

The elders wouldn’t allow the two to continue like this.

Actually, Jiang Yuan was very good-natured, a truly caring little girl. After hearing what Lu Jing said, she didn’t probe any further, simply agreeing:

"I got it, Sister Lu, don’t worry."
