Film and TV: Starting from childhood, I will give up Zhong Yi

Chapter 326 Jiang Nansun's Shame and Indignation
University, cafeteria.

"...Nan Sun, we've run into each other two days in a row. Don't you think this is fate?"

Zhu Suosuo told Jiang Nansun about her chance encounter with Lin Yuan at Yiyuan a few days ago.

"It's quite a coincidence." Jiang Nansun looked up at her and smiled. "What? Are you feeling romantic?"

“Can’t I?” Zhu Suosuo raised an eyebrow, speaking with self-righteousness. “He’s rich and handsome. If he really takes a liking to me, I’ll live a good life.”

"You advised me to keep my eyes open before, but how come you got fooled yourself?" Jiang Nansun was amused by her and deliberately dragged out his words.

"I didn't think that much about it, I just wanted to find an internship." Zhu Suosuo pouted and began to complain, "That Master Ma looks respectable, but when I went to eat with him, he actually booked a large private room for twelve people, and the owner of Yiyuan was very polite to him. He lied to me and said that he was Ye Jinyan's right-hand man, but it turns out he was just Ye Jinyan's driver."

Zhu Suosuo made a steering wheel gesture with both hands.

Jiang Nansun was amused by her appearance and laughed out loud, her eyes crinkling: "How about I ask my aunt to ask Ye Jinyan for you and see if she can find you a job?"

"No." Zhu Suosuo shook her head repeatedly. "I'm just waiting for Lin Yuan's reply now. He didn't look too happy when he found out I went to Jingyan for a job the other day."

Jiang Nansun asked in bewilderment, "Why?"

Zhu Suosuo speculated, "Perhaps he had already pulled some strings for my job, and since I approached him privately, he was bound to be a little unhappy."

Jiang Nansun then asked, "So you're not going to look for a job now?"

"Okay, let's wait for his news first. If it really doesn't work out, then we'll ask your aunt for help."

"Okay, just let me know if you need anything."

As they were talking, Zhang Anren came over with cutlery, sat down next to Jiang Nansun, and pushed a plate of fried pork chops in front of her: "I ordered fried pork chops for you."

Zhu Suosuo immediately chimed in, "Why don't I have one?"

Jiang Nansun smiled and picked up a piece, putting it into her bowl: "It's all yours."

She heard the loud voices of several South Koreans talking not far away. She glanced up and saw Wang Yongzheng there, feeding each other with several South Korean female students. She couldn't help but frown. "They're all grown up, and they're still feeding each other like that. How disgusting."

Zhu Suosuo looked over curiously: "Who is it?"

“A lunatic,” Jiang Nansun said irritably.

Not long after he finished speaking, Wang Yongzheng walked straight over and casually sat down in the empty seat next to Zhu Suosuo.

Jiang Nansun frowned in confusion: "What are you doing?"

"I wanted to tell you that I've been so busy lately, so my aunt's guesthouse..."

Jiang Nansun quickly interrupted, "This is the cafeteria, I don't want to hear you say this right now."

Zhang Anren asked softly from the side, "Nan Sun, did your aunt ultimately choose Teacher Wang's plan?"

He was unaware that his proposal had already been rejected by Aunt Nan Sun.

Jiang Nansun shook his head repeatedly.

Wang Yongzheng raised his chin and replied, "Yes, surely there's someone who doesn't know?"

Zhang Anren was taken aback and asked Jiang Nansun, "But didn't you say that he just scribbled a few lines on a napkin?"

Wang Yongzheng smiled smugly: "Uh, it's like this. After you left that day, when we went to a restaurant for dinner, I just grabbed a napkin and borrowed a pen from the waiter, so..."

He deliberately emphasized the words "you left," indicating that he had come today to put Zhang Anren down in front of Jiang Nansun.

"My aunt has been deceived by him. I'm talking to her right now. You painstakingly drew the blueprints, and he just scribbled on a napkin. How can they be compared?" Jiang Nansun noticed Zhang Anren's expression change slightly and began to defend her boyfriend.

Wang Yongzheng looked at Jiang Nansun, his words carrying a hidden meaning: "Why are you so persistent? If you force yourself to do things beyond your capabilities, it will be very tiring and unhappy."

After he finished speaking, he glanced meaningfully at Zhang Anren, his sarcasm undisguised, "Right?"

Jiang Nansun said angrily, "Can you stop being so self-righteous? You got in here by virtue of your foreign citizenship, how can you compare to Zhang Anren? You are not welcome here."

After saying that, she turned her face away and ignored him.

Zhang Anren took a deep breath and suppressed his emotions: "Teacher Wang, if Auntie chose the best option regarding the guesthouse, that's fair. But we need to eat now."

Faced with Wang Yongzheng's repeated provocations, Zhang Anren, no matter how patient he was, could no longer hold back.

"You misunderstood something. I didn't get extra points because of my foreign nationality; I got them because of my looks." Wang Yongzheng said with a roguish smile, then turned and strode away.

……

Saturday at noon.

Fuxing Road, garden residences.

Jiang Pengfei was already waiting at his doorstep.

After getting out of the car, Lin Yuan took out several exquisitely wrapped gifts from the trunk.

Jiang Pengfei smiled and reached out to take it, but instead of leading Lin Yuan inside, he asked softly, "Lin Yuan, what do you think of Nan Sun?"

“Nan Sun is indeed beautiful and refined, I admire her very much.” Lin Yuan’s tone was calm, but he subtly changed the subject, “It’s just that she already has a boyfriend, so we are destined to be apart.”

Jiang Pengfei still smiled and said, "Those two will break up sooner or later. The more you two get to know each other, the more she'll realize how outstanding you are, and naturally she won't look at that Zhang Anren anymore."

Lin Yuan's smile faded slightly, and he said in a calm tone, "Brother Jiang, matters of the heart cannot be forced. By saying that, you are belittling both Nan Sun and me."

"Yes, yes, I was talking nonsense." Jiang Pengfei's heart skipped a beat. He thought to himself that Lin Yuan had already brought gifts to their door, so why should he say anything? He should just honestly create opportunities for them.

"Oh, there's one more thing. The old man values ​​seniority. You and Nansun are about the same age. If... if you and Nansun happen to meet in the future, and you still call me Brother Jiang, that title will be a little inappropriate, won't it?"

Lin Yuan pondered for a moment: "Then how about this, in the Jiang family, I'll call you Uncle Jiang, but in private, I'll still call you Brother Jiang. It's not too late to change how I address you once Nan Sun and I have made some progress."

"Okay, okay!" Jiang Pengfei quickly replied, "Then let's go in."

"it is good."

Lin Yuan followed Jiang Pengfei into the Jiang family's small villa.

In the living room, three generations of women from the Jiang family were sitting and talking. When the two men entered, they all looked at Lin Yuan, and the atmosphere became quiet for a moment.

Jiang Nansun was very curious when he saw Lin Yuan come to his house.

The two placed the gifts on the coffee table, and Jiang Pengfei immediately introduced them: "Lin Yuan, let me introduce you. This is my mother, this is my wife, and this is Nan Sun, whom you have met before."

"Hello Grandma Jiang, hello Auntie, hello Nan Sun," Lin Yuan greeted them in turn, his manners impeccable. Dai Yin responded politely, "Hello."

Grandma Jiang glanced at Lin Yuan, nodded gently, and smiled warmly: "This child is really handsome."

Grandma Jiang was an elegant woman who had lived most of her life, but in the end, she was tricked by her own son.

But I doubt she would mind.

After all, the money accumulated by ancestors is meant for the next generation to spend, but this generation has a daughter, so in her opinion, saving money is useless.

Jiang Pengfei said from the side, "Mom, this is Lin Yuan. Don't be fooled by the fact that he's only three years older than Nan Sun. He started from scratch and now manages a private equity fund. He's a well-known talent in the investment circle."

Lin Yuan said modestly, "Uncle Jiang, you flatter me. It's not that exaggerated. This is my first time visiting, and I didn't know what Grandma and you liked. So I just bought some gifts. Please see if they suit your taste."

"Mom, let me open it for you and take a look," Jiang Pengfei said quickly, then called to the others, "You guys open it and take a look too."

Dai Yin feigned modesty, while Jiang Nansun took the gift box and opened it.

Lin Yuan gave the old lady an expensive tonic and Jiang Pengfei a valuable watch.

The gift given to Dai Yin was an expensive silk scarf with a beautiful pattern, while the gift given to Jiang Nansun was a warm and smooth wooden comb.

You can tell who each gift is for just by looking at the types of items.

"Lin Yuan, look at this, it's just a meal at home, why are you spending so much money?"

Grandma Jiang said softly, "That's right, why be so polite? Pengfei, go to my dressing table and get that small sandalwood box."

Although the Jiang family is now in decline, they still retain the traditional family etiquette. Moreover, Old Madam Jiang is extremely particular about etiquette, so she naturally has to reciprocate with a carefully prepared gift.

"Yes." Jiang Pengfei responded and went upstairs, quickly returning with the small box.

Lin Yuan naturally expressed his gratitude, but did not rush to open it, and instead set it aside for the time being.

After exchanging pleasantries, Jiang Pengfei couldn't help but ask, "Lin Yuan, you've built such a large investment portfolio over the years. What are your secrets? Could you tell me about them?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Uncle Jiang, I wouldn't call it a secret, just some experience. I've summarized it into three main points. First, adhere to the orthodox while employing the unorthodox, and strike a balance between movement and stillness..."

The two were discussing investment matters, leaving the other three aside, until the nanny, Aunt Jia, called out from the dining room, "Grandma, the food is ready, you can eat now."

Grandma Jiang immediately said, "Alright, let's stop chatting and go eat."

"Yes, yes, yes." Jiang Pengfei slapped his forehead and stood up with a smile.

At the dinner table, Jiang Pengfei didn't mention investments or stocks again, but instead steered the conversation towards his daughter:
"Lin Yuan, you and Nan Sun are about the same age, so you must have a lot in common. Nan Sun is proficient in music, art, and dance."

Lin Yuan, curious, asked, "What kind of musical instruments does Nansun play?"

"Violin, piano..." Jiang Pengfei spoke with great enthusiasm.

"If there's a chance in the future, I'll listen to Nansun play a piece."

"Forget about later, we can do it after dinner." Jiang Pengfei's tone suddenly became a little angry. "I get angry just thinking about it. I raised Nan Sun to be so good, and then she turns around and wants to go and suffer with that poor boy Zhang Anren."

Jiang Nansun called out in dissatisfaction, "Dad!"

Lin Yuan chimed in, "Uncle Jiang, you can't say that. Although Brother Zhang is currently broke, who can predict the future? The important thing is to have an ambitious and upward-looking mindset. Otherwise, even if you have a large fortune, you'll eventually squander it all. I've met Brother Zhang; I can't comment on his abilities, but he seems like a very hardworking person."

Hearing this, Jiang Nansun felt inexplicably relieved, but also somewhat puzzled. Wasn't Lin Yuan coming for him? Why was he speaking up for Zhang Anren?
after eating.

Jiang Pengfei said, "Nan Sun, this is Lin Yuan's first time visiting our home. Why don't you take him upstairs for a look around?"

Dai Yin echoed, "Go ahead."

Jiang Nansun was somewhat unwilling, but she wanted to ask Lin Yuan why her aunt still didn't like the design, even though Zhang Anren had changed it according to her aunt's wishes.
Without saying anything more, he turned and went upstairs.

Lin Yuan followed her into her boudoir, strolling around and looking around on his own. He reached out and touched any interesting objects he saw, acting as if he had no manners at all.

Jiang Nansun stood behind him and asked probingly, "Didn't you used to call my dad 'brother'? Why are you calling him 'uncle' today?"

Lin Yuan turned around, took a few steps to stand in front of her, and explained, "Your dad told me that your grandma is a traditional and particular person who values ​​seniority. If she knew that he was calling a young person like me 'brother,' she would feel it was inappropriate. So I had to lower my seniority and be in the same generation as you. Outside your family, I still call him 'brother,' but if you want, you can call me 'uncle.'"

"You wish!" Jiang Nansun glanced at him, her tone tinged with displeasure. "Why did you bring so many expensive gifts to my house today? Now my family will definitely dislike Zhang Anren even more."

Lin Yuan looked at her quietly for a moment, then suddenly laughed out loud, "Miss Jiang, you don't think I did this for you, do you?"

Jiang Nansun pursed her lips, raised her chin with a hint of arrogance, and said, "Isn't that right?"

“Your father did have that intention, but I didn’t.” Lin Yuan tilted his head and looked at her, a hint of amusement in his eyes. “Your aunt knows Ye Jinyan from Jingyan Group. Just based on that, isn’t it worth befriending her? Besides, this is my natural upbringing. Do you expect me to play the fool just to make your family dislike me?”

Jiang Nansun paused upon hearing this, a blush flashing across her face. So that's why. She actually found Lin Yuan quite frank and unpretentious. However, this blush was quickly replaced by a deathly paleness.

Lin Yuan paused, then suddenly reached out and pinched her cheeks twice with lightning speed, gently shaking them.

"Like this?"

Lin Yuan finished pinching and left, not even giving her a chance to retaliate.

"What are you doing!" Jiang Nansun rubbed her face and shouted in embarrassment and indignation.

Even Zhang Anren couldn't bear to pinch her like that.

Lin Yuan, however, looked unconvinced: "What's the big deal about pinching it?"

Jiang Nansun's face darkened, and his voice turned cold: "We're not that close yet."

Lin Yuan stepped forward, looked at his reflection in her eyes, and asked with a smile, "So, how close do we have to be for this?"

Jiang Nansun pushed him away, her tone resolute: "I will never be that close to you."

Lin Yuan turned and sat on her bed, his tone indifferent: "Don't worry, only a nanny like Zhang Anren can handle a proud young lady like you. I can't serve you. Even if you offered yourself to me—I could take you."

Jiang Nansun's furrowed brows relaxed suddenly when she heard the last sentence, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud. She immediately composed herself, glared at him, and said, "You're dreaming."

"If there's nothing else, you can go out now," Lin Yuan said, his tone slightly lazy. "I had some rice wine earlier, and I'd like to take a short nap."

Lin Yuan issued an order to leave.

Then he lay down on Jiang Nansun's boudoir bed.

"Get up!" Jiang Nansun was furious. She grabbed Lin Yuan's arm and tried to pull him up. This was clearly her private room, and not only did he want to sleep here, he also wanted to kick her out!
PS: Nothing happened.
