To marry into the family in place of his brother? Impossible!

"Jin Huan, you've arrived!" Zhou Qian said first.

Zhou Qian looked very beautiful today, as if she had dressed up carefully.

Zhou Qian was not ugly to begin with; she was a school beauty in high school.

However, after arriving at Jiangcheng University, she was overshadowed by Chen Ling Shuang's beauty.

Zhou Qian is a beauty, but Chen Ling Shuang is a stunner!

"Where's Ling Shuang?" Jiang Jinhuan asked bluntly. "I haven't seen her for three days, and she hasn't replied to my messages."

Zhou Qian seemed somewhat disappointed that she didn't see what she wanted to see in Jiang Jinhuan's eyes.

Upon hearing Jiang Jinhuan's question, Zhou Qian's gaze began to wander, her fingers unconsciously twisting together: "She...she had some family matters to attend to and took leave to go back home."

"What is it?" Jiang Jinhuan took a step closer.

He became increasingly puzzled. If something had happened at home, she wouldn't have left without a word.

"It's... something about my family, I don't know the specifics." Zhou Qianqian chuckled and took a half-step back. "Jin Huan, don't ask. She'll tell you herself when she gets back."

Jiang Jinhuan frowned; he knew Zhou Qian was lying.

The fact that Zhou Qian was able to lie doesn't necessarily mean it was Zhou Qian's idea; it's very likely Chen Ling Shuang's.

"Zhou Qian, you know you're not good at lying! Your expression betrayed you!"

Zhou Qian gasped and quickly covered her face.

"How can you look so closely? Do you think I'm very pretty?"

Jiang Jinhuan was speechless, but Zhou Qian's words were true; she was indeed very beautiful.

Her chest appeared even fuller than Chen Ling Shuang's.

"So, tell me what happened?"

Zhou Qian lowered her hand, her neck stiff, and said, "I... I'm telling the truth. You can just ask Ling Shuang when the time comes!"

As soon as Zhou Qian finished speaking, she tried to run away, as if she was afraid of being questioned by Jiang Jinhuan.

But before he could leave, Jiang Jin Huan reached out and stopped him.

Zhou Qian gasped, then covered her chest, her face flushed with embarrassment, "You, you pervert!"

The word "rogue" sounds almost coy.

Jiang Jinhuan blushed slightly as he felt the amazing elasticity in his arm.

He coughed and said, "Zhou Qian, look at me when you speak."

Zhou Qian looked up at him, then quickly looked away.

There was something in her eyes that Jiang Jinhuan had never seen before: difficulty, hesitation, and a hint of sympathy.

This discovery made Jiang Jinhuan's heart sink.

"Jin Huan," she bit her lip, "there are some things... you really have to ask her directly. I can't say."

After saying that, she walked away quickly, as if fleeing.

Jiang Jinhuan stood there, watching her hurried figure as her brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

An hour later, his phone rang.

It's Sun Hao.

"Jin Huan! Where are you?" Sun Hao's voice was urgent.

"School. What's wrong?"

"Hurry up and come to that coffee shop near the west gate of the school, the one opposite the school clinic!"

"What are you doing?"

Sun Hao paused for a moment, then his tone became strange: "Jin Huan, do you know who I saw?"

"Who?"

"I saw Ling Shuang; she's with Bai Zifeng. Right now."

Jiang Jinhuan tightened his grip on the phone for a moment.

His eyes narrowed.

Are you sure?

"Why would I lie to you! The two of them are sitting face to face, and Bai Zifeng is dressed like a peacock with its tail feathers spread out. Jin Huan, you'd better come and take a look!"

Jiang Jinhuan hung up the phone, stood there for a few seconds, and then turned and walked towards the west gate.

There are some things he needs to see for himself.

He wouldn't interfere with Chen Ling Shuang's choice; he didn't have that right.

But things need to be made clear.

Once you've made your choice, don't regret it.

He wouldn't even want to look at anyone else.

However, he found it strange that the other party was Bai Zifeng. He wanted to confirm whether this was Chen Ling Shuang's true thought!

Jiang Jinhuan quickly left the campus and arrived at the location Sun Hao had mentioned!

The café is small, with transparent glass walls, and you can see two people sitting by the window from a distance.

Bai Zifeng was speaking, a polite smile on his face, with a document beside him.

Across from him, Chen Ling Shuang, wearing a light blue knitted sweater and with her hair casually draped over her shoulders, was listening to him with her head down.

His expression was calm, without a smile or disgust.

It was just like an ordinary conversation.

However, Bai Zifeng did publicly pursue Chen Lingshuang.

Just the fact that they're sitting together now is enough to convey a lot to the outside world!

It's easy for people to speculate about their relationship!

Jiang Jinhuan stood not far from the glass door, but did not push it open to go inside.

Through the transparent partition, he looked at Chen Ling Shuang's profile.

Jiang Jinhuan's arm hung naturally, gently tapping his trouser leg.

His expression was calm, as if he were looking at a stranger.

Sun Hao had somehow gotten next to him and whispered, "Jin Huan, do you want to go in?"

Jiang Jin Huan did not answer.

Instead, they walked straight into the coffee shop.

Sun Hao's eyes lit up, and he quickly followed.

"You're something else, kid. Trying to go head-to-head?"

Jiang Jin Huan said, "Not really!"

He certainly doesn't count. He's no one to Chen Ling Shuang, and he can't give Chen Ling Shuang any promises.

"I just feel that Bai Zifeng isn't a good person, and I'm afraid she'll get taken advantage of. If she's willing, then I won't say a word!"

"Not saying a single word? What do you mean by that?" Sun Hao asked in surprise.

Jiang Jinhuan had already pushed open the door of the coffee shop.

The wind chimes at the door rang.

Jiang Jinhuan strode toward Chen Ling Shuang's location.

Then Sun Hao and I sat opposite Chen Ling Shuang.

At this moment, Chen Ling Shuang's face was somewhat pale.

Bai Zifeng seemed to have Chen Ling Shuang completely under his control, and he looked rather smug!

At this moment, Sun Hao called over a waiter: "Two glasses of water!"

The commotion caught Chen Ling Shuang's attention, and she instinctively turned her head to look.

Then his eyes met Jiang Jin Huan's.

Jiang Jinhuan saw surprise in the other person's eyes, followed by barely concealed panic!

He seemed to freeze in place.

Across from Chen Ling Shuang, Bai Zi Feng noticed Chen Ling Shuang's unusual behavior.

Then he turned his head and looked back, his eyes meeting Jiang Jinhuan's.

Bai Zifeng's lips curled slightly: "Oh, isn't this Jiang? Jiang, are you here to see my Ling Shuang?"

Jiang Jin Huan remained silent.

Bai Zifeng said, "Jiang, you've seen it yourself. It's quite obvious who Ling Shuang chose. I hope you won't be ungrateful!"

Jiang Jinhuan tapped the table with his finger, not looking at Bai Zifeng, but saying to Chen Ling Shuang, "Ling Shuang, some things are not necessarily good for others just because you take responsibility for them yourself."

Bai Zifeng sneered: "What do you mean?"

Jiang Jinhuan looked at Bai Zifeng, his eyes filled with disdain for the first time: "Young Master Bai, I overestimated you before! But I'm curious, does the Bai family know about what you've done?"

Bai Zifeng's face turned ugly. "What do you mean?"

Jiang Jinhuan scoffed, "Young Master Bai, you know your own situation within the Bai family. What do you think some people in the Bai family would think if they knew what you're doing now?"

Jiang Jinhuan stood up, glanced at Chen Ling Shuang who had remained silent, and then looked at the cup of coffee in front of her: "The choice is yours!"

Jiang Jin Huan said to Sun Hao, "Let's go!"

He turned and walked back, his steps quickening as he had come.

Sun Hao paused for a second, then chased after her: "No, Jin Huan, aren't you going to ask her clearly? What if Ling Shuang was...?"

Jiang Jin Huan said, "I've made myself very clear; the choice is hers!"

Sun Hao opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing more.
