Chapter 161: Strangely Abnormal

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Wen Nan was very depressed after leaving Jiang Jingchen’s villa.

She wanted to find a nice apartment to live in but she hadn’t found one that she liked.

When she went house-hunting again, she bumped into Jiang Minglang. However, she wasn’t surprised and chatted with him politely.

Jiang Minglang invited her for coffee, and she didn’t refuse. After dressing up in the afternoon, she went to the cafe.

“Miss Wen, you’re graceful and charming. Looking at you makes one feel relaxed and happy.” Jiang Minglang complimented her.

Wen Nan smiled shyly, but she knew well that Jiang Minglang was very good at flattering women. He changed girlfriends more frequently than he changed clothes.

“Young Master Minglang is too kind. Your tie today is very nice too. In terms of appearance and temperament, you are more outstanding than the first young master of the Jiang family.”

Jiang Minglang was in a good mood when he heard that he was better than Jiang Jingchen.

Also, Wen Nan was very smart. She didn’t refer to him as the second young master of the Jiang family because she knew he didn’t want to be second to Jiang Jingchen. Instead, she called him Young Master Minglang.

He asked with a smile, “1 understand that Miss Wen treated my brother. I wonder how he’s doing.”

Wen Nan drank her coffee elegantly. “The first young master’s condition is quite stable. Young Master Minglang is so worried about your brother. You two brothers must be close.”

“He’s my big brother, of course I’m worried about him. I heard that his legs are recovering well, and he’ll recover completely soon. Is that true?”

Wen Nan smiled while secretly mocking Jiang Minglang in her heart. He was only worried about Jiang Jingchen because he was worried that once Jiang Jingchen recovered, he would fight with him over the Jiang family.

“It’s true. But it’s hard to tell how long it will take for him to recover completely.”

“What do you mean?”

Wen Nan explained gently, “Injured tendons and bones typically takes a hundred days to heal. The first young master had suffered so much damage back then, so it would take time for him to heal. But 1 believe that he will be able to stand soon.”

Jiang Minglang didn’t want Jiang Jingchen to recover so quickly.

He needed to win over Wen Nan so she would help him make sure that Jiang Jingchen’s legs would never recover.

“Miss Wen, aren’t you staying at my brother’s villa? Why are you looking for accommodation?”

Wen Nan’s eyes flashed with displeasure when she heard this, but she quickly calmed down.

She knew what Jiang Minglang was thinking but she had the upper hand in this negotiation. If Jiang Minglang didn’t want Jiang Jingchen to recover, he would definitely try to curry her favor.

She said with a little grievance, “Sigh, it’s quite a helpless situation. The first young master’s wife has adopted two dogs but I’m allergic to those things. So, I have no choice but to find my own accommodation outside.”

Jiang Minglang was surprised. “You mean Tang Beibei chased you out?”

Wen Nan did not explain. “It’s also good that I live outside. I’ll be more comfortable living on my own. Does Young Master Minglang have something to say to me? If there’s nothing else, I’d better get on with my house-hunting.”

Jiang Minglang explained with a smile, “I don’t have anything special to discuss. 1 just wanted to find out about my brother. Since we’re done chatting and I’m free, why don’t I help Miss Wen find a place to live?”

“That’s good too. Then I’ll have to trouble Young Master Minglang.”

Wen Nan chuckled. She would not turn down free labor.

The two of them chatted as they house-hunted. Every time Jiang Jingchen was brought up, Wen Nan would change the subject, or perfunctorily say something vague. This made Jiang Minglang even more eager to conquer her. He wanted to get this woman.

“After a busy afternoon, how about if I buy Miss Wen dinner tonight?”

“I’m tired after a busy afternoon. I should go back and rest. Thank you, Young Master Minglang, for helping me find a place to live.” Wen Nan smiled and turned to leave.

If she wanted to benefit from Jiang Minglang, she couldn’t let him taste too much sweetness at once. She had to entice him slowly.

She must cast a long line to catch a big fish.

Moreover, she couldn’t afford to make her relationship with Jiang Jingchen too tense. This man was too powerful. If she went against him and exposed information about him, she might end up like Auntie Lin.

Thus, she had to do things carefully. She had to keep Jiang Minglang interested and let the two brothers fight. Only then would she be able to reap benefits from the sidelines.

Not far from Wen Nan, a man wearing a food delivery cap took out his phone and reported the situation to Song Zhou.

Song Zhou relayed the information to Jiang Jingchen. Jiang Jingchen was staring at his computer, which was displaying the stock chart for Song Enterprise.

Song Zhou couldn’t help but sigh. “Both of them think that they are anglers when in fact, they are both fish. There’s only big fish eat small fish. No fish can control other fish.”

“But I’m also curious. Wen Nan is hoping that Jiang Minglang will get her shares of Wen Corporation but I’m afraid that will be a little difficult for Jiang Minglang.”

Jiang Jingchen acknowledged indifferently and asked, “Song Zhou, what do you think 1 should buy for my wife if I make some money?”

“… Well, you could buy something that Young Madam likes. However, Young Madam doesn’t covet branded bags or jewelry. It was not easy to buy things for her.”

Jiang Jingchen pointed at his computer screen and said, “Song Enterprises owns a small entertainment company. Why don’t I get it and give it to my wife?”

“But how will we get Song Enterprise? Young Master, the Song family still has support from the Jiang family.”

Jiang Jingchen sneered disdainfully when he heard that.

“If we can’t swallow the prey in one bite, we’ll eat it bit by bit. We need to set small goals along the way to keep us motivated. Get Yang Hao to ask for shares of the company.”

“Alright, I’ll discuss it with Yang Hao.”

Jiang Jingchen moved his mouse and switched to another application on his computer.

His voice was less casual and colder as he said, “What other scandals are there in the Song family? Get them ready and get Yang Hao to find a way to sever ties between the Jiang and the Song families. Make the Song family helpless.”

Song Zhou heard his serious tone. Jiang Minglang was really going to make a move on the Song family now.

At school, Tang Beibei and Ruan Qi went to the library to borrow some books before they went for dance practice.

Fu Jin drove them to the dance studio again.

Ruan Qi knew that Fu Jin waited for them deliberately so they could go together, but she did not expose him.

When they arrived at the dance studio, it was another few hours of high-intensity training. It was very tiring, but they had to grit their teeth and endure it.

After training, Tang Beibei was so tired that she doubted her life. She lay on the floor, refusing to get up.

“Tang Beibei, are you alright?”

It was Chen Xixi from the dance troupe. She walked up to Tang Beibei and handed her a glass of water.

Tang Beibei got up and took the water offered to her. “Thank you.”

Chen Xixi said with a smile, “You’re a fast learner. 1 admire you for catching up so quickly.”

Tang Beibei was embarrassed by the compliment. “Thank you. You danced very well too. I saw you from behind. You were especially outstanding.”

Chen Xixi took out her phone and said with a smile, “Let’s add each other on WeChat. You can ask me if you don’t understand anything, and we can discuss together.”

Tang Beibei agreed and added her on WeChat.

The two of them chatted for a while more, and Chen Xixi invited her to dinner. Tang Beibei waved her hand and said that she was going home to eat.

After Chen Xixi left, Ruan Qi came over. “This woman suddenly came over to strike up a conversation with you. This is strangely abnormal.”

Tang Beibei didn’t think too much about it. “We were just chatting casually. Also, she added me on WeChat. We’re all training together. She won’t do anything funny, right?”

Ruan Qi rolled her eyes. “Fu Jin reminded us before that things are very intense in the dance studio. The teacher has complimented you a few times and you’ve become a threat to a few people here.”

“Some women would do anything to get ahead. You can’t afford to let your guard down completely.”

Tang Beibei nodded agreeably. “Okay, 1 trust you. Your judgment has always been on point.”

Ruan Qi looked at her strangely. “You just trust me like that?”

Tang Beibei smiled and nodded. “Because you found me as a friend. It means you have good taste.”

Ruan Qi laughed in amusement. “Are you complimenting me or yourself? Beibei, I didn’t expect you to be so narcissistic.”

Tang Beibei giggled and said softly, “Because my husband said that I’m fine. I also believe in my husband’s taste.”

She had no choice but to endure Tang Beibei flaunting her love life..
