When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 1131 Shengnan 63
Jin Jue wouldn't let go, even raising an eyebrow at Zheng Linxi smugly. Zheng Linxi couldn't quite explain her feelings, but she felt it was bad timing. If she had met Jiang Shengnan earlier, would she be watching Jin Jue's smugness now?

That face of hers is really an eyesore.

Seeing how clingy Jin Jue was, Old Zheng couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy. He picked up his teacup, took a sip, and began to usher the guests away: "You can stop taking your Chinese medicine now. If you two have nothing else to do, you can go back now."

Jiang Shengnan pushed Jin Jue away, trying to suppress the blush on her face; "Old Zheng, I'm so sorry to have troubled you these past few days. When would be a good time for you to have a meal with me to express my gratitude?"

Old Zheng laughed and said, "You should focus on living your own life well. There's no need for a meal. I'm just helping Jin Jue out. It's rare for him to ask me for a favor. It's a pity that you two got together. My grandson is quite good too."

Jin Jue could no longer sit still. He pulled Jiang Shengnan to his feet and said, "Mr. Zheng, we won't linger any longer. We'll visit you again next time."

Jin Jue pulled Jiang Shengnan away, and Old Zheng sighed and pointed at Zheng Linxi: "Useless, the person was right in front of you."

Zheng Linxi shrugged: "I'd like to, but Jin Jue is keeping a close eye on things too much, and besides, he was the one who encountered it first."

Old Zheng said irritably, "There are always newcomers who surpass him. Someone like Jin Jue is not good enough for this girl."

Jin Jue's expression remained grim even after they got into the car. He was usually quite composed, but who could blame him when Old Master Zheng was causing him trouble? And he couldn't say much to the old man.

Jiang Shengnan found it amusing and took Jin Jue's hand, saying, "Are you still angry? Old Zheng was just joking."

“He’s not joking,” Jin Jue said, taking the initiative and intertwining his fingers with hers. “He really likes you.”

Jiang Shengnan raised an eyebrow slightly: "Isn't it good that I'm so likable?"

"It's just too good, everyone likes you." Jin Jue was a little jealous: "Everyone likes you when they see you, even if I'm your boyfriend, everyone will ignore that and only see you."

Jiang Shengnan chuckled: "But I'm your girlfriend now. Does that make you any happier?"

“Yes,” Jin Jue said, putting his arm around her waist before letting go after a long while. “Let’s go to Lao Song’s restaurant. You didn’t eat much last time.”

Jiang Shengnan joked, "Alright, repeat customers aren't allowed to be jealous anymore."

"Don't worry, I definitely won't be jealous," Jin Jue said confidently. Of course, he wouldn't mention He Zechuan in front of Jiang Shengnan again. A little jealousy between couples can be beneficial to the relationship, but if it's constantly brought up, it becomes a bit dramatic.

Moreover, he would never let Jiang Shengnan have a deeper impression of He Zechuan. Jiang Shengnan is his girlfriend, his!

Upon seeing Jiang Shengnan again at the restaurant, He Zechuan was much calmer, lacking the excitement and elation he had felt upon first meeting her. After escorting Jiang Shengnan and Jin Jue to their private room, He Zechuan remained silent for a few seconds before returning to the lobby.

Old Song stood beside him: "If you miss one step, you'll miss every step in the future."

He Zechuan remained silent. Did he regret it? He shouldn't regret it, and... he couldn't regret it.

Old Song patted him on the shoulder. He was still too young; even with fate at his doorstep, he didn't dare reach out and seize it. This was nothing like Jin Jue. Jin Jue was someone who would fight and snatch anything, using any means necessary. He abandoned all pretense of face, status, and dignity in pursuit of his girlfriend.

Old Song didn't continue to rub salt into his son's wounds: "Your aunt is going back to G City tomorrow. Let's have dinner together tonight, and bring your younger brother along." "Okay, I'll talk to Lu Xu." He Zechuan nodded: "Thank you for taking care of me during this time, Auntie."

Actually, he was quite lucky. Although he suffered for a while when he was young with his biological mother, his stepfather and younger brother treated them very well after his mother remarried.

The truly toughest period was the last six months or so, when his mother fell ill and he had no choice but to work part-time at a club. But Jiang Shengnan appeared during his most difficult time, relieving him of the heavy burden on his shoulders.

After his mother passed away, his biological father, whom he found along the way, and his second wife treated him very well.

Thinking of this, He Zechuan couldn't help but smile slightly. He had already received so much, and he shouldn't be greedy anymore.

Jiang Shengnan originally thought that the news of her relationship with Jin Jue wouldn't be known so quickly, but they were spotted together at a teahouse in the afternoon.

Xu Yuan looked at Jiang Shengnan in surprise, then at Jin Jue who was holding her, her eyes full of smiles: "Sister Jiang, you're here for tea too?"

Jiang Shengnan glanced at the middle-aged couple beside Xu Yuan, both exuding an air of scholarly refinement. A single look at their features confirmed her suspicions: "Yes, Jin Jue and I are on a date. Dr. Xu, are these your parents?"

A look of surprise flashed across Xu Yuan's face, then he genuinely laughed: "If Jia Hui knew you were with President Jin, she would be overjoyed. Mom and Dad, this is Jiang Shengnan, Jia Hui's good friend."

Jin Jue took the initiative to shake hands with the two: "Hello, Uncle and Aunt, I'm Nan Nan's boyfriend. It's an honor to meet you both. If it's convenient, shall we go together?"

Mr. and Mrs. Xu laughed and said, "We have no problem with that, but didn't Jiangjiang say he was going on a date? It wouldn't be good to bother you, would it?"

Jin Jue smiled and said, "I won't bother you. It's fate that we've met."

The moment he wagged his tail, Jiang Shengnan knew what he was up to—it was a public announcement. After all, only Old Master Zheng and the people at the manor knew about their relationship; Jiang Shengnan's friends didn't.

Now that he's met Xu Yuan, can Jin Jue let this opportunity pass by?

Xu Yuan lowered her eyes and smiled, suddenly realizing that Jiang Shengnan was truly impressive. To be able to tame a playboy like Jin Jue into a well-behaved dog, she really had some skill.

The five people sat down in a corner of the tea room. They were all highly educated individuals, so the atmosphere was naturally excellent.

During the conversation, Jiang Shengnan learned that Xu's parents had come to see He Jiahui. After all, He Jiahui and Xu Yuan were planning to get married at the end of the year, and they took advantage of the weekend when they were not busy to come and meet their future daughter-in-law.

Seeing Jiang Shengnan staring at her, Xu Yuan quickly explained, "My parents really like Jia Hui. Jia Hui is straightforward and righteous, and they like her a lot."

Jiang Shengnan smiled. As expected of a cultured person, even someone as ignorant and uneducated as He Jiahui was described as straightforward and righteous in Xu Yuan's eyes. Indeed, cultured people know how to describe people.

"Sister Jiang, when did you and President Jin get together? You two didn't seem this close last time I saw you at the resort. Jia Hui used to always talk about you, saying you were never home." After finishing her own story, Xu Yuan started gossiping about Jiang Shengnan and Jin Jue.

He's actually quite profit-driven at heart, and now that he's with He Jiahui, he naturally hopes her company will thrive. He's also happy to see Jiang Shengnan and Jin Jue together.

Jiang Shengnan took a sip of tea, and Jin Jue added, "It's only been a week. I went on a trip during this time and happened to run into Jin Jue."
