Chapter 419: Will You Be Overwhelmed by Passion for Me?

Chapter 419: Chapter 419: Will You Be Overwhelmed by Passion for Me?

The man leaning against the doorframe slightly tilted his head, a gentle smile on his face:

"Probably when you were deep in conversation with your teacher."

So, it turns out he had returned quite early.

But the person in the study was so engrossed and meticulous in discussing with the person in the video that he didn’t notice someone standing at the door.

Lu Jing only felt unsettled for about two seconds at first, and now he spun the chair he was sitting on:

"What did you just say you were dealing with?" he asked.

Jiang Ye shrugged and entered from the doorway, saying at the same time:

"Annoying matters!"

To hear these three words from Jiang Ye’s mouth made Lu Jing curious:

"What happened?"

Jiang Ye casually took a seat on the desk, even propping up a leg, before he began speaking slowly:

"It’s nothing but that brat Lai Xingchen’s mess, his family’s elders want to plead for that woman."

What the hell?

"Ah?"

Lu Jing found it unbelievable:

"Why?"

He couldn’t fathom it.

Heh heh.

Everyone couldn’t fathom it.

"So, is it settled now? What’s the outcome?"

The man half-closed his eyes:

"Of course, we followed procedure. Did they think the judiciary is something they can just sway to get a lighter sentence?"

What does the judiciary represent?

It’s the fairest, most strict, and most impartial place!

There, only the law and regulations are spoken for!

And to apply an old saying: If you knew this day would come, why did you do it in the first place?

It’s too late to seek pardon now!

"Honey, I heard your little colleague is determined to break up with that kid Lai Xingchen?"

Er.

Regarding this, Lu Jing was also aware, having asked Xiao Tang before.

Xiao Tang had her concerns and right to choose.

These matters of the heart are better left untouched by outsiders.

"What? Do you have some thoughts about it?" he retorted.

Jiang Ye burst out laughing:

"Don’t be silly, what thoughts could I have? I only have eyes for you!"

Lu Jing rolled his eyes:

"Then why bring it up?"

Jiang Ye stepped off the desk and moved behind the chair, leaning over:

"It’s not me, it’s that kid Lai Xingchen."

Lu Jing, now encircled by him, stopped moving and found a comfortable position:

"That’s not good—Xiao Tang, the girl, is quite rational. She wouldn’t lose her mind over a man."

So, if Lai Xingchen really intended to win her back, it certainly wouldn’t be easy—he had a long road ahead.

Jiang Ye wasn’t particularly interested in other people’s affairs, leaning closer to whisper in her ear:

"What about you?"

???

Lu Jing instantly felt several dark lines forming on her forehead:

"Me? What does that have to do with me?"

"Just what you said earlier, your little colleague wouldn’t lose her mind over Lai Xingchen, but would you lose yours over me?"

Cough cough cough.

Lu Jing pushed him away, not really wanting to answer that question.

But just as she moved, the man grabbed her and held her tight in his arms:

"Say it!"

It was almost as if he wouldn’t let her go without an answer.

With no escape, Lu Jing replied irritably:

"No, no, no, if Xiao Tang is that rational, could I be so foolish?"

The moment she spoke, the man was indeed taken aback.

However, he was still not content:

"Really? Then who was it that not so long ago personally beat up the restaurant owner?"

In front of so many onlookers and cameras no less.

Was that supposed to be rational behavior?

What a joke!

Who would believe such a thing if it were told?
