Chapter 13 - Lillian

That day, Yao Bin received another call from Jiang Pengfei at home. There were so many things to do in a day! Yao Bin leisurely made his way over, where Jiang Pengfei was already waiting.

"Xiao Yao, you're here! I feel embarrassed seeing you like this," Jiang Pengfei said hesitantly.

"It's alright, Uncle Jiang, just tell me what's on your mind."

It turns out that Jiang Pengfei was criticizing Jiang Nansun's boyfriend again. The latter talked back a few times, and then Jiang Pengfei got angry and slapped her. Now Princess Jiang is locking herself upstairs.

Jiang Pengfei probably meant for him to comfort the other party.

Yao Bin inwardly scoffed at Jiang Pengfei. Was this guy an idiot? What was his relationship with Jiang Nansun anyway, and he came over to comfort her? Did that even work?

"Uncle Jiang, I'm not that familiar with Nan Sun, so I can't offer comfort. Didn't I tell you about the solution last time?" Yao Bin said.

"It's my fault for being impulsive. I'll tell Nan Sun later, is Xiao Yao free today?" Jiang Pengfei asked, wondering if she wanted to invite him for drinks or something.

Before Yao Bin could finish speaking, a voice came from upstairs.

"Why are you here?" It was Jiang Nansun's voice without a doubt, and it sounded somewhat displeased.

"Then I'll leave?"

Yao Bin wouldn't tolerate this. Jiang Nansun might be a princess to others, but to Yao Bin, she's just that!

"Nan Sun, how can you speak like that? Is Xiao Yao my guest? Can't a father invite people to his home?" Jiang Pengfei was displeased, thinking to himself how his daughter could speak like that. He could already hear the dissatisfaction in Yao Bin's voice.

Jiang Nansun also noticed something was wrong. Yao Bin came over but didn't say anything. Had he been too presumptuous? He felt a little regretful for a moment.

"I'm sorry, I was in a bad mood just now!"

"It's alright! I have to go soon too, Uncle Jiang! I have things to do at the company this afternoon, so I'll be leaving now. Bye-bye!" With that, Yao Bin prepared to get up, as he really did have things to do that afternoon.

"Xiao Yao, wait a minute! Nan Sun, didn't you say you were going to visit your aunt's construction site? Why don't you come with Xiao Yao? He has a car, so it'll be convenient for him." Jiang Pengfei asked, treating Yao Bin like family.

Yao Bin also looked at Jiang Nansun, waiting for the princess to speak.

"Oh, Brother Bin, is that alright? Wouldn't that be too much trouble?" Jiang Nansun asked.

Yao Bin waved his hand: "If you don't delay any longer, I certainly won't mind the trouble."

Jiang Nansun blushed immediately and hurriedly followed Yao Bin out the door. Jiang Pengfei watched their backs and thought to himself, "Nansun's father is doing this for your own good. This Yao Bin is much better than your Zhang Anren."

The two arrived at the car. Jiang Nansun thought for a moment and then sat in the passenger seat. If she sat in the back, wouldn't that be treating Yao Bin as her driver? If she did that, she would probably get nagged again when they got back.

"Send me the address." Yao Bin didn't know the address of the construction site. It seemed that Daisy was turning her house into a bed and breakfast or something, and had her friend's son do the construction there.

"Okay, thank you for your help."

After the car left Fuxing Road, Jiang Nansun's mood improved considerably. He seemed to have come to terms with things and said after a moment's thought.

"Brother Bin, thank you for your help today. My dad doesn't respect my opinions at all, and he doesn't care about my thoughts. He only knows how to belittle Zhang Anren. He's like my grandma; he likes boys and wants to carry on the family line! But I'm a girl."

She didn't know why she was telling Yao Bin these things; perhaps she wanted him to help persuade her father.

Yao Bin inwardly scorned her. "You're not even financially independent, what right do you have to talk about respecting opinions? Besides, your dad hasn't done anything! At least Jiang Pengfei hasn't mistreated you, right? See? Once you're out of pocket money, will you still think like this?"

"It's normal for Uncle Jiang to have such thoughts; he just wants you to have a better life," Yao Bin said calmly.

"Don't be fooled by his words. I know exactly what he's thinking. He just wants to marry a rich, upper-class man! That's what suits his taste," Jiang Nansun said.

The two chatted for a few minutes and soon arrived at the construction site. They then stopped next to an old-fashioned residential building, which, if they were not mistaken, should be Daisy's house.

"Brother Bin, I've arrived. Thank you for today." Before Jiang Nansun even got out of the car, he heard a girl standing at the entrance of the residential building, making a loud phone call.

"You heartless scumbag, tell me if you have another girlfriend, and if so, tell me who she is."

"There are so many houses here, where are you? How am I supposed to find you!"

As he spoke, he took the phone and hurried inside.

Yao Bin felt that the situation was somewhat familiar, and the girl also looked familiar. Wasn't that Professor Dong's daughter in the drama, Lillian? She was alright looking, but she had fallen for Wang Yongzheng, a rich second-generation playboy.

The three of them will meet soon, but Jiang Nansun hasn't gotten off the bus yet. Could it be that my involvement has brought the time forward? This is going to be interesting.

Jiang Nansun leisurely got out of the car, and Yao Bin wasn't in a hurry either, so he just waited there to watch the show.

Jiang Nansun entered the residential building and soon heard Lillian's voice: "Wang Yongzheng, you scumbag, why are you avoiding me? Why won't you answer my calls? Are you waiting for this woman here?"

As for this woman, she naturally refers to Jiang Nansun, but the difference is that Jiang Nansun arrived later; she came first.

Hearing the noise, Yao Bin hurriedly went inside. As a professional at watching the show, Yao Bin happened to see Wang Yongzheng about to hug Jiang Nansun.

Wang Yongzheng, with his arm around Jiang Nansun, said smugly, "Since you've seen it, I won't hide it from you. This is my real girlfriend. We've been dating for a while now. Lillian, we're just friends, it's impossible."

Classic lines from a scumbag boyfriend.

"I don't believe you. Didn't you say a few days ago that you didn't have a girlfriend? You were lying, you're faking it."

Wang Yongzheng didn't argue, and made a gesture to kiss Jiang Nansun, but the latter was unwilling. When he saw Yao Bin come in, he immediately called out.

"Brother Bin, please help me! I'm not Wang Yongzheng's girlfriend, she's talking nonsense." Jiang Nansun was too weak to break free from Wang Yongzheng.

Before Wang Yongzheng could react to Jiang Nansun's words, he felt a numbness in his arm, his hands instantly loosened, and then it felt as if something had hit his chest hard. He stumbled back a few steps and sat down on the ground with a thud.

It must have been Yao Bin who made the move. I haven't even hugged Jiang Nansun, and you're already going to hug her like that?

Looking up, I noticed there was another person in the room.

Jiang Nansun broke free from the entanglement, patted his chest in fright, and looked at Yao Bin, saying, "Thank you, Brother Bin."

As Yao Bin spoke, he stared at Wang Yongzheng and said, "No need to be polite, who is this! Acting like a hooligan in broad daylight, you've got some nerve!"
