When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 1126 Shengnan 58
Tan You ignored her, and to be honest, she was now curious about what Jin Jue would do next. She remembered how persistent Lu Xiangrong was in the previous world. Could she be about to witness the same scene in this world?
Zheng family.

The same scene, the same pulse diagnosis, only this time there were three more young people in the living room.

Jin Jue sat on the single sofa on the balcony, looking at the three people opposite him with a forced smile: "Aren't you busy today?"

The eldest brother of the Zheng family pushed up his glasses: "I've been busy, that's why I haven't been back for a long time. I'm taking advantage of everyone's rest day to come back and have a family dinner."

Zheng's second brother glanced curiously at Jiang Shengnan in the living room: "What a beauty! No wonder Grandpa called us back."

Zheng's younger brother: "She's my type."

Jin Jue stared at the other person: "Did you do this on purpose?"

The youngest brother of the Zheng family chuckled, "We're just curious. You've never brought a girl to our house before. We want to see what kind of angel she is."

Zheng's second brother glanced at Jiang Shengnan again: "She is indeed quite ethereal, a true beauty."

Jin Jue straightened up immediately upon seeing Zheng Linxi's gaze; he knew that what Old Zheng had said last time was no joke. He just hadn't expected that Zheng Linxi would develop feelings for Jiang Shengnan on their very first meeting.

That's true. Such a stunning beauty rarely goes out to socialize; she's like a flower hidden away in her boudoir. But once she's seen, it's hard to take your eyes off her.

In the living room, after taking his pulse, Old Zheng withdrew his hand, and Jiang Shengnan obediently poured him a cup of tea: "How am I feeling?"

Old Zheng glanced at her and said, "Your problem is psychological. No matter how much Chinese medicine I prescribe for you, it won't help if your psychological problem isn't cured. Another issue is sleep. If you don't sleep well, it's all for nothing."

Jiang Shengnan glanced quickly at Jin Jue's retreating figure: "I know, I'm trying my best to overcome it, but it's really too difficult."

Old Master Zheng was shrewd and experienced. Jiang Shengnan didn't say anything, but he understood everything. Looking at Jin Jue on the balcony, who looked like he was facing a formidable enemy, and then at his own three grandsons, Old Master Zheng became unkind: "You've already met my three grandsons. They're no worse than Jin Jue."

Jiang Shengnan clearly didn't care much about Jin Jue, and even wanted to escape from him. Given this, Old Zheng felt no guilt whatsoever in trying to poach him.

The living room and balcony were not far apart, so Jin Jue and the others naturally overheard their conversation. Jin Jue's face darkened considerably: "Old Zheng..."

Old Zheng glared at him: "What do you want me for? A good daughter is sought after by many families. I'm just giving Xiao Jiang more options."

"My eldest grandson studied traditional Chinese medicine and is now the chief physician at the provincial hospital of traditional Chinese medicine."

"My second grandson is studying finance..."

"My grandson has started his own company and it's doing quite well. My eldest grandson is about the same age as Jin Jue, and the other two are about your age, which is just right."

Jiang Shengnan was amused by Old Zheng's sales pitch. She took a deep breath, glanced at the three tall and long-legged members of the Zheng family on the balcony, and then looked at Jin Jue, who looked depressed, and suddenly realized that she hadn't felt this relaxed in a long time.

Because she had lost a lot of weight, her dimple on her left cheek was visible when she smiled. Zheng Linxi stared at her dimple: "Brother Jin, now I really want to compete with you, since you two aren't together anyway."

"You're dreaming!" Jin Jue gritted his teeth and strode into the living room. "Mr. Zheng, Nan Nan and I have arranged to have lunch together, so we won't bother you any longer. We'll be leaving now."

Before Jiang Shengnan could react, Jin Jue had already led her away from the Zheng family home. Watching Jin Jue's retreating figure, Jiang Shengnan lowered her eyes slightly. Only after getting into the car did she say, "I didn't agree to have dinner with you." Jin Jue leaned over to fasten her seatbelt. Hearing this, he looked up, but Jiang Shengnan lowered her eyes, not looking at him, her fingers fiddling with the pearl clasp on her bag.

“I want to have dinner with you,” Jin Jue said with a wry smile. “Nan Nan, please don’t always reject me. It makes me feel disappointed and sad.”

Hearing his words of vulnerability, Jiang Shengnan turned her face away. She wanted to say, "Are you as sad and disappointed as I am?" But she couldn't say those words. She could only try to suppress her emotions, and her eyes gradually reddened.

Noticing her distress, Jin Jue almost forcefully turned her around, only to find her face was soaked with tears. Even in her most painful moments, she hadn't cried like this.

So restrained, so heartbroken.

Jin Jue took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, but Jiang Shengnan slapped his hand away. Jin Jue paused, then carefully wiped away the tears on Jiang Shengnan's cheeks despite her refusal.

But it was all in vain; the more he wiped away the tears, the more they flowed. Jin Jue sighed, unbuckled the passenger seatbelt, and, ignoring Jiang Shengnan's resistance, pulled her into his lap.

Jiang Shengnan sat silently on his lap. Seeing that she couldn't break free, she unceremoniously wiped her tears on Jin Jue's shirt. Jin Jue let her vent; he would rather Jiang Shengnan vent completely than have her push him away.

"Have some water, you just lost too much water." Seeing that Jiang Shengnan had calmed down, Jin Jue unscrewed a bottle of purified water and handed it to her. Jiang Shengnan took the water and drank a couple of sips, looking listless.

Jin Jue patted her back to help her catch her breath: "Are you feeling better?"

Jiang Shengnan didn't speak, but just looked down at her fingers. After a long while, she finally spoke: "Let go of me."

"No," Jin Jue was reluctant to let go of Jiang Shengnan. He took advantage of the situation and hugged Jiang Shengnan's waist, resting his chin on Jiang Shengnan's shoulder: "Let's go eat together later."

Jiang Shengnan remained silent, which Jin Jue took as a yes. This girl was easily swayed by gentle persuasion but not by force; if he always listened to her, he would never have a chance in his life. Sometimes, he needed to be a little assertive.

Seeing that they had already left the bustling city center and were driving further and further away, looking at the unfamiliar scenery, Jiang Shengnan finally spoke up: "Where should we eat?"

Jin Jue thought to himself that it hadn't been easy, and they were almost home when Jiang Shengnan finally asked.

He smiled and said, "Come to my home for dinner. The chef here is very good, just as good as any chef outside."

Jiang Shengnan glanced at him sideways: "You often... never mind, I was just being nosy."

“No, I have never brought a woman to my home,” Jin Jue understood Jiang Shengnan’s meaning. On the one hand, she was happy that Jiang Shengnan asked these questions, but on the other hand, she was also annoyed by Jiang Shengnan’s attitude of wanting to stay away from her.

Jiang Shengnan had a bit of a proud streak. She looked out the window and said, "If you say no, then no."

She didn't believe a single word of it.

Jin Jue smiled bitterly. If he had known that his past philandering would lead to such a long road to winning back his wife, he would have been more chaste from a young age. But there's no going back in life, and he has to swallow the bitter pill of the past.

The thought that he was covered in filth yet Jiang Shengnan had to accept everything about his past always made him feel guilty.
