All Heavens Film and Television started from Joyful Qiao Weidong since childhood

Chapter 2852 Discovering the Secret, Lu Yuan Furious

"Come in!" Gan Jing opened the door and invited the two in.

"Tsk tsk tsk~" Peng Jiahe pouted and strode in first with her long legs.

It's worth mentioning that after returning from the airport, Lu Yuan was incredibly diligent in order to leave a good impression, insisting on carrying all his own luggage and backpack.

Peng Jiahe would get angry if she even tried to touch him!
"This is too small! It's not even as big as my house!" Peng Jiahe looked around and touched everything, completely oblivious to the concept of being a stranger.

"You little brat, who gave you the right to speak!" Lu Yuan glared at him after putting down his luggage.

Indeed, Peng Jiahe had lived in America since childhood. Even though he was poor, Peng Hai's family lived in a two-story wooden house with a small yard. This was mainly because the area was sparsely populated and located in what was similar to a slum.

"Jiahe, these are unworn!" Gan Jing found a pair of slippers in the cupboard and handed them over with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

"By the way, are you hungry?"

"There's not much food at home, just some pastries, cookies, and milk in the fridge. What would you like to eat? I'll order takeout!"

"I can do anything!" Peng Jiahe nestled comfortably on the sofa, grabbed a snack without any hesitation, and started scrolling through her phone, putting on her glasses and speaking in broken English.

Seeing Lu Yuan's aggressive gaze, Gan Jing subconsciously tried to avoid him, because she was in a state of turmoil after the breakup.

He changed the subject, saying, "Lu Yuan, are you out of money?"

"I have money!" Lu Yuan was still being stubborn at this point. Men all have this problem, always trying to save face.

"Don't lie to me. Isn't all your money left by Peng Hai? How can you spend it like that?" Gan Jing transferred 1 yuan directly.

"What are you doing!"

“Shanghai is different from what it used to be. Prices are skyrocketing now. Even a regular hotel costs two or three hundred yuan a night. Besides, it’s not sustainable to stay in hotels all the time. We don’t know how Jiahe’s mother is doing. She needs money for things like getting things done!”

Lu Yuan's expression stiffened slightly upon hearing this, then he started grinning and acting like a rascal. "Why stay in a hotel? It's such a waste of money!"

"That's good!"

Without a sound, she grabbed the other person's hand. "Gan Jing, it's been three years. I know my leaving without saying goodbye caused you a lot of pain, but there were indeed reasons I couldn't tell you. Back then..."

"Lu Yuan, we all need some time to calm down!"

Gan Jing withdrew his hand without leaving a trace; he had indeed wanted to know the inside story before.

But right now I'm clearly not interested. My mind is in turmoil, so I just want to lie down and sleep for a while, and then think about what to do next.

She's 38!
She wasn't 18 or 28; reason told Gan Jing that she was past the age of romantic feelings and should now consider practical matters. Therefore, she didn't want to give up on Jiang Haokun!
“No, Gan Jing, look into my eyes, I love you!” Lu Yuan started using his ultimate move again, his small eyes gradually becoming affectionate.

This is very different from what we see in the drama. Lu Yuan had already contacted Gan Jing while he was in the United States.

He still fantasized that the two of them could get back together and live a sweet, blissful life as a loving couple. Then he would casually find a job and tease his good brother Jiang Haokun whenever he had the chance.

Lu Yuan, who is almost 40, has lost the drive he had when he was young, not to mention that he has lost his sense of smell and now just wants to live a peaceful and stable life.

But the two of them had clearly forgotten about Peng Jiahe's existence. The girl stopped looking at her phone and her eyes were full of gossip.

Just as Gan Jing closed his eyes and gradually succumbed to the allure, having already reached the bedroom door, he suddenly snapped back to reality!

"No!" She shoved Lu Yuan away. "We're just friends now!"

The reason she said that was because Gan Jing suddenly remembered something: there was a photo of her and Jiang Haokun on the bedside table in the bedroom. It wouldn't really matter if Lu Yuan found it, but Gan Jing subconsciously didn't want him to find it.

"Gan Jing, I know you still blame me!"

"But please give me a chance to explain!"

"Gan Jing, look me in the eyes!"

Gan Jing noticed the small eyes and really wanted to say that she couldn't see.

"At that time..." Just as Lu Yuan was about to confess what he had experienced over the past three years.

Peng Jiahe walked over unnoticed, holding a photo in her hand, and pointed at the person in the picture with a silly, cute expression. "Hey Aunt Gan Jing, is this you?"

The two of them instinctively turned around, but their expressions also turned grim the next second. Gan Jing's heart sank; this was truly a case of oversight despite meticulous planning.

How could I have forgotten to put this photo album away?
She took these photos during her recent trip to Europe with Jiang Haokun. These past few days, when she was feeling sad and had nothing to do, she thought of taking them out to look at them.

As for Lu Yuan, there's no need to say more. He understood everything as soon as he saw the photo. Even a fool could tell the difference between friendship and romance. His girlfriend was kissing his best friend, so what else was there to misunderstand?
"Gan Jing, what's going on?" Lu Yuan's small eyes widened, his expression murderous as if he were possessed by Hua Qiang.

"Speak up, what's going on between you and Jiang Haokun?"

"Give me an explanation!"

"Slap!" Gan Jing, the one who started the accusation, raised his hand and slapped her across the face. "Is this explanation enough?"

After the fight, her eyes were red and swollen with tears, and even glistening tears welled up in the corners of her eyes. Her lips were tightly pressed together as if she was trying her best to suppress her grievances.

"You left without saying goodbye, and I had no relatives or friends in America. I thought you had vanished into thin air!"

What did you expect me to do then?

"Is he dead or alive? Why didn't you tell me!"

"Lu Yuan, you're a bastard!" a hysterical roar erupted. "I searched every state in America, I called you countless times, I asked everyone who knew you, I begged everyone like a dog to find out where you were. Where were you all that time?"

"Lu Yuan, how dare you stand here and criticize me?"

"It's over between us. Who I'm with is none of your business. Now, get out of my house, right now!"

Peng Jiahe, this gossipy girl, stood there with her eyes sparkling. She ate potato chips as if watching a TV series, and her mouth would open wide from time to time, clearly finding it very exciting.

After hearing Gan Jing's accusations, Lu Yuan seemed to feel indebted to her. "Damn it, Jiang Haokun, that bastard, I asked you to help take care of Gan Jing, and you ended up taking care of her in bed, didn't you?"

"You bastard, I'm not finished with you!"

After saying that, he stormed out the door.

"Lu Yuan, where have you been?" Gan Jing realized what was happening and quickly chased after him. At this moment, she felt extremely regretful. Why did she have to provoke him? She knew Lu Yuan's temper. If things got out of hand, how could they ever get back together?

Jiang Haokun hadn't left work yet; he had just returned to the company from a project that was about to open for sale and was about to hold a meeting with the management team.

"Everyone, the market will open next Monday. Thank you all for working overtime this Friday. We'll make sure all preparations are complete by Saturday and Sunday!"

"Then..." Suddenly, the phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was an unknown number.

"Hello... this is..."

"Jiang Haokun, you bastard, where are you?" The voice on the other end of the phone sounded familiar, but I couldn't remember who it was.

"You are!"

"I am Lu Yuan!" Because he was running, Lu Yuan's voice was a little hoarse.

Lu Yuan?

"Oh, is there something you need?"

Where are you? I want to see you!

"I'm at the company, come over here!"

Jiang Haokun had just hung up the phone when he saw Jue calling back.

I did not answer.

I can pretty much guess what happened; it's just that their "little secret" has been discovered!

"Why isn't he answering the phone?" Gan Jing was extremely anxious. He had lost track of Lu Yuan in a moment of carelessness and now had no idea where Lu Yuan was.
