When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 1119 Shengnan 51
Jin Jue's heart suddenly fluttered. He had been there in the private room last night too. Was Jiang Shengnan's implication...?

Putting that sliver of hope aside, Jin Jue opened the passenger door: "Get in."

As she was about to close the car door, Jin Jue suddenly whispered, "I forgot to mention, you look especially beautiful today."

Jiang Shengnan was slightly taken aback, but then she saw Jin Jue close the passenger door and walk around the front of the car. After he got in and fastened his seatbelt, Jiang Shengnan said, "Are you saying I wasn't pretty before?"

“No, you were beautiful before too,” Jin Jue said earnestly, “but you’ve never dressed up like this before, every time I’ve seen you.”

Even if he knew Jiang Shengnan wasn't dressing up for him, shouldn't he still have the right to dream? Can't he even indulge himself?
Jiang Shengnan's lips curled up, and she added arrogantly, "I went as your friend. If I were to be too unworthy, people would question President Jin's taste in friends."

Jin Jue's tone was somewhat forceful: "My pride doesn't need my friends to make it stand out. Nan Nan, you just need to be happy and be yourself."

Jiang Shengnan smiled, her heart unmoved by Jin Jue's words: "I've always been quite happy."

Jin Jue didn't respond to that. He had seen Jiang Shengnan several times, and apart from the night they danced at the KTV when she was happy, she was mostly sad and upset.

Especially during those days in N City, he felt as if Jiang Shengnan was about to break. The thought of her fainting and being hospitalized due to heart pain filled Jin Jue with a sense of helplessness.

Money can heal 90% of wounds, but some pain truly cannot be healed by money. For example, Jiang Shengnan's case; healing her would be incredibly difficult.

The key point is that she doesn't give anyone the chance to get close to her.

Standing outside the restaurant, looking at the impressive storefront, Jiang Shengnan raised an eyebrow slightly: "Wow, that's impressive. What made your friend decide to open a shop in S City?"

Jin Jue recalled: "It seems he found the child his first love had given birth to, and that child didn't want to leave S City."

Jiang Shengnan smiled enigmatically: "Are all rich people like this? They never know when a child will suddenly appear?"

Jin Jue protested, "No, I swear I have absolutely no children outside!"

"Why are you telling me all this?" Jiang Shengnan glanced at him and headed towards the restaurant first: "It has nothing to do with me."

"That's what I wanted to tell you." Jin Jue caught up with her: "My impression of me is already very bad, and I don't want it to drop any further."

Jiang Shengnan's lips twitched. In the past, she would at least pretend, but now she's not even pretending anymore? She's just directly testing the waters?

The two entered the restaurant. Jiang Shengnan glanced around and unconsciously made eye contact with a boy. His eyes lit up when he saw her. Jiang Shengnan was puzzled, but still smiled back at him.

Seeing Jiang Shengnan smile at him, the boy couldn't help but smile too. He exchanged a few words with the middle-aged man beside him, who glanced at Jiang Shengnan, then looked at Jin Jue next to her in surprise, before walking over with the boy.

As he approached, the middle-aged man gave Jin Jue a big hug: "Old Jin, I didn't expect someone as busy as you to come today. I'm so honored!"

Jin Jue hugged him briefly, and as soon as he let go, he saw Jiang Shengnan being hugged by a young man. Jin Jue's face immediately darkened. He hadn't even held Jiang Shengnan's hand, and this young man had already hugged her?

Seeing that things were going badly, Lao Song quickly pulled He Zechuan back, saying, "Zechuan."

He Zechuan reluctantly let go of Jiang Shengnan: "Sister, do you remember me?" Jiang Shengnan looked at him carefully, and she was sure she had never seen He Zechuan before. But Tan You had already recognized him: "The club, the one who danced, number 8."

Jiang Shengnan suddenly snapped back to reality: "Number 8?"

“It’s me, sister, you remembered me?” He Zechuan held onto Jiang Shengnan’s pearl bag strap tightly. “I went to look for you again later, but they said you never came back. I thought I would never see you again.”

He originally had an extremely sharp appearance, but now, with his eyebrows lowered, he looked pitiful. Jiang Shengnan thought of what Tan You had said about He Zechuan's background and suddenly felt soft-hearted: "I rarely go to clubs. How are you doing these days?"

"You looked very tired when I last saw you."

Jin Jue couldn't stand it anymore. He moved closer to Jiang Shengnan, seemingly casually drawing her into his territory: "Nannan, do you two know each other?"

Jiang Shengnan downplayed the issue, saying, "We met once."

She looked at He Zechuan and said, "What should I call you? My name is Jiang Shengnan, you can just call me Sister Jiang."

“Okay, Nan Nan,” He Zechuan smiled and tugged at the pearl clasp on Jiang Shengnan’s bag. “Nan Nan, you look so thin. Haven’t you been getting enough rest lately?”

Hearing him call her "Nan Nan" repeatedly, Jin Jue's face grew increasingly dark. Calling a younger woman "sister" implies a wild heart, and this kid wasn't even trying to hide it now.

He glanced at Old Song: "Old Song, who is this...?"

Old Song also noticed something amiss, but he was torn between his son, his first love, and his old friend: "This is my son, He Zechuan. You can just call him Aze."

Jiang Shengnan was surprised for a moment, then smiled very gently: "Really? Aze, congratulations on finally getting out of your predicament."

He Zechuan's eyes were a little red. "I also want to thank Nannan. You really helped me a lot back then."

Jiang Shengnan asked, puzzled, "I didn't do anything."

Seeing that the two were about to continue their discussion, Jin Jue cleared his throat: "How about we find a private room to sit down and talk things over?"

Even though he was almost overwhelmed with jealousy, Jiang Shengnan was rarely happy, and he didn't want her to be unhappy.

Inside the private room, perhaps because she had seen He Zechuan, someone who had previously crossed paths with Tan You, Jiang Shengnan treated He Zechuan very well. The two sat together talking, and the scene was so intimate that it stung Jin Jue's eyes.

Old Song poured tea for Jin Jue, feeling helpless and even a little amused. Jin Jue clearly wanted to please Jiang Shengnan, but instead, he ended up supporting him and creating another rival in love?
Creating a rival for his own love? Jin Jue must be furious right now.

Jin Jue banged on the table: "What's wrong with your son?"

Old Song smiled bitterly: "I mentioned it to you before. My first love passed away recently. Before she died, she couldn't let go of Aze, and Aze followed her instructions and contacted me."

“My parents forced us to separate, and she left in a huff. Later, she had no choice but to marry someone else to raise the child, and I started my own family. But I never expected that she would get pregnant and raise the child.”

"I haven't had a child all these years, maybe this is retribution. Retribution for not daring to disobey my parents back then, retribution for not fulfilling my responsibilities as a father."
