After being reborn, I'm no longer going to play the role of a spoiled rich kid.

Chapter 87 "Friends with Benefits"

Xie Yuci also saw Yu Sijia's white Lamborghini at this moment, and could tell that a woman was sitting in the driver's seat.

He looked slightly annoyed and said to Jiang Lingyu, "Fine, then I'll wait for you to come back tonight and we'll talk about our business."

Jiang Lingyu: "I have plans tonight, Xie Bo. See you the day after tomorrow."

After saying this, Jiang Lingyu turned around without looking back and walked towards You Sijia's Lamborghini.

As Jiang Lingyu approached, You Sijia opened the passenger door. Seeing Jiang Lingyu get into the car, You Sijia asked curiously, "Shouldn't I get out and say hello?"

"You want to get to know me?" Jiang Lingyu raised an eyebrow.

"Isn't that your boyfriend?" Yusjia said. "Aren't you going to introduce him to me?"

Jiang Lingyu was taken aback by these words, but then realized, "If I want you to meet every one of my boyfriends, I'm worried you won't have the time."

Yustia: "..."

That's exactly what Aquaman would say.

"Also, who's lying about him being my boyfriend? Didn't you see he came out of the research institute with me? He's just a colleague, nothing more," Jiang Lingyu added.

As Yu Sijia drove, she grumbled, "You're kidding me! Tell me, why didn't you reply to the messages I sent you before? I asked the second brother, and he said that after Meng Weiyuan and I left, you didn't go back to the country, and the hotel stay was still extended."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lingyu leaned back in her chair, arms crossed, and said, "Oh? When did you become so concerned about me?"

Yuska: "It was around the night I left that I accidentally saw something I shouldn't have seen when I went out?"

Jiang Lingyu: "..."

After a moment's thought, she knew what Yuska was talking about.

A hint of annoyance flashed across Jiang Lingyu's face, then, as if she had given up entirely, she uttered two words—

"friends with benefits."

Upon hearing this, Yusjia almost slammed on the brakes and suddenly coughed.

"Cough cough cough-"

Jiang Lingyu: "...Is it really necessary? Why such a big reaction? Why don't you ride in my car next time? This is too dangerous. I don't want to die."

Yu Sijia stopped at the intersection where the traffic light was red. Upon hearing this, she gave Jiang Lingyu a disgruntled look.

Whose fault is this? Can you blame her? It's clearly Jiang Lingyu's fault, isn't it?

“You…” Yuska wanted to say something, but swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue, “Didn’t you always date before? Short-term relationships?”

The female player might change partners more frequently than she changes her jewelry.

Jiang Lingyu sighed. Anyway, she had nothing to hide now. "How can that be the same? Xie Yuci is a colleague I see all the time. Dating him would be too much trouble."

Yuska: "...It seems like they really want to have a good relationship with you."

Whether in England or just now, Yu Sijia felt that the man in front of Jiang Lingyu did not seem to want to end their relationship.

Hearing this, Jiang Lingyu chuckled. She turned and stared at You Sijia for a while, almost making You Sijia uncomfortable, before slowly speaking, "Does he think I should just obey him? Let's not talk about him anymore, let's talk about you. How was your honeymoon? Is your CEO Meng up to the task?" This unexpected move by Jiang Lingyu turned on You Sijia herself, and You Sijia's face immediately flushed. "What do you mean, 'up to the task'? Don't talk nonsense."

Jiang Lingyu gave an "Oh," drawing out the last syllable, "It seems President Meng is alright. I was just worried about his age! No sexual satisfaction, no happiness, that's my advice!"

Yustia: "...Shut up."

"Bold in appearance but weak in reality" is probably the best way to describe Yuska's current state.

"How are you doing at Kotei Pharmaceuticals?" Yusijia chose a Spanish restaurant. The restaurant was very busy at lunchtime. There were no private rooms available, but she managed to reserve a table by the window with a view overlooking the city center in the south of the city.

Jiang Lingyu took a sip of sparkling wine. She could eat one appetizer after another, nodding as she ate, thinking that Yu Sijia had chosen a good restaurant for lunch today.

"It's great." Hearing Yusjia's concerned words, she wiped her mouth, savoring the almost translucent slice of ham she had just eaten. "My colleagues are easy to get along with, and I do a job I enjoy. There's nothing wrong with it."

"What about your home?" Yusjia was still worried.

Jiang Lingyu suddenly laughed.

"What's wrong?" Yustya asked.

Jiang Lingyu: "You've been out of the country recently, so you might not know about our big news."

"What news?"

"Don't worry about me, none of my family members are able to take care of me right now," Jiang Lingyu said slowly. "They're all busy cleaning up my brother's mess."

The restaurant was a bit slow in serving the food, so Jiang Lingyu simply rolled the cheese she had earlier into a slice of bread, took a bite, and said, "After you and your boss Meng left, my second brother got into a fight with He Maochun." Jiang Lingyu waved her hand, "That was so embarrassing."

"Huh? A fight?" Yustia asked in surprise. "Why?"

"What else could it be? It's all for women, of course," Jiang Lingyu said, shaking her head. "You probably didn't notice, but Zhou Qichun came to your wedding too. However, she didn't come with my second brother, but with He Maochun. I heard that she met He Maochun when she was still with Hu Baoshan. My second brother recently announced that he's still single, right? He wants to find a sister-in-law of equal social standing to rival my eldest brother. I bet he didn't expect Zhou Qichun to be so capable, finding someone new right after breaking up with her boyfriend. He came out of his hotel room and saw Zhou Qichun and He Maochun together. The scene... tsk tsk."

Jiang Lingyu explained the situation of the two men who had attacked in a few words, but You Sijia's focus successfully went astray.

"Amazing!" Yu Sijia couldn't help but exclaim. Even though she didn't like Zhou Qichun because of Tang Yayi, she couldn't help but praise her now. Absolutely amazing.

It's quite impressive that she got Wei Mingshu and He Maochun to fight each other for her.

Jiang Lingyu was too lazy to correct You Sijia's point and continued, "My second brother is such a brainless idiot. Even if Zhou Qichun isn't He Maochun's official girlfriend, does he think he's in the right for striking first? So recently, everyone in the family has been dealing with his matter. Who cares about me working at the research institute of Ketai Pharmaceuticals?"

Yuska quickly glossed over the Jiang family's domestic affairs, "Then isn't it a good time for you to go back and take over the pharmaceutical factory?"

“What are we going to take over?” Jiang Lingyu sighed. “You know the pharmaceutical factory’s predecessor was my mother’s dowry when she got married. Although it has now been incorporated into the Jiang family, she is the one who holds the most shares. At least for now, my mother hasn’t changed her mind about handing the family business over to my second brother.”

"As for me, she probably thinks I'm closer to my dad's side of the family, and she's worried that if I really take power, I'll favor the Jiang family."

Jiang Lingyu said this with a hint of self-deprecation.

She felt that she was the first in a blended family, and while everyone else was pampered and spoiled, she was the one who was constantly guarded against at home.

Not interesting.
