Chapter 5
Jiang Haokun Comes Knocking

Jiang Hao Kun stormed out, with Gan Jing fuming beside him.

Jiang Lai, who had been clinging to Yang Yu’s chest like a lovesick bird, immediately turned cold as soon as Jiang Hao Kun left.

“Get out! Get out of my sight! Never let me see you again!”

Jiang Lai furiously wiped her lips and yelled at Yang Yu.

She had initially thought well of Yang Yu, but after the recent kiss, he was now on her blacklist. Men were all the same; they wanted to take advantage whenever they could, and they were insatiable. She hadn’t even been this intimate with her ex-boyfriend.

Thinking of her ex-boyfriend, Chen Fang, who was driven to his death by her brother, Jiang Lai was filled with sorrow. Although Chen Fang had made various demands during their months together, her traditional upbringing had prevented her from ever agreeing to them. Now, another man had taken advantage of her, and a wave of grief washed over her. She collapsed onto the table, crying.

Yang Yu, who had already eaten his fill, sighed at the sight of Jiang Lai crying.

“Your brother is a real pain in the neck, but he really cares about you. I don’t think he did anything wrong. You should talk to him calmly and try to understand why he did what he did.”

Yang Yu knew that Jiang Hao Kun had a recording of his conversation with Chen Fang. But he was afraid that Jiang Lai would be even more devastated if she knew the truth, so he chose to have his sister hate him instead of revealing the recording. This made Yang Yu admire him somewhat.

But it was better to face the pain quickly than to prolong it. It was better to tell Jiang Lai the truth and let her see Chen Fang for who he really was. Even though it would be more painful, it would be just a momentary pang.

After leaving, Yang Yu immediately blocked Jiang Lai. He just wanted to live a peaceful life and didn’t want to get involved in this drama anymore.

Unfortunately, fate had other plans. He didn’t want to deal with Jiang Lai, but she went crazy looking for him over the next few days.

That day, after Yang Yu left, Jiang Lai saw that he had been so rude, taking advantage of her and then leaving without even trying to comfort her when she was so heartbroken. Her resentment towards him grew even stronger.

That night, Jiang Lai tossed and turned, unable to sleep. She was filled with resentment and anger, the more she thought about it, the angrier she got.

She picked up her phone and called Yang Yu, wanting to give him a piece of her mind. But his phone was off, and her rage made her smash the phone.

The next day, Jiang Lai, with dark circles under her eyes, immediately called Yang Yu again, only to find his phone still off.

Uncertain, Jiang Lai dialed a different number.

“Who is this, bothering me while I’m sleeping?”

A muffled voice came from the other end of the line.

Jiang Lai’s anger reached its peak. The guy had actually blocked her! He’d actually blocked her! It was unforgivable.

“You bastard! You dare…!”

Beep! Beep! Beep!

Yang Yu immediately hung up the phone as soon as he recognized Jiang Lai’s voice.

Jiang Lai tried calling again.

“The number you have dialed is currently unavailable…”

Jiang Lai, in a fit of rage, destroyed another phone.

She grabbed her car keys and was about to head over to find him, but she turned back halfway. She didn’t even know where he lived.

Full of anger, Jiang Lai could only vent her frustration by smashing things in her room.

At that moment, Jiang Hao Kun came knocking on her door.

“Lai Lai! What are you getting so upset about again?”

Jiang Hao Kun entered Jiang Lai’s room with a smile, looking at her with concern.

Seeing Jiang Hao Kun’s smile made Jiang Lai even angrier. She thought he was there to gloat.

Then she had another thought – could it be that her brother had done something to Yang Yu, causing him to avoid her? Didn’t he do the same to Chen Fang?

“Is it you? Did you do it?”

Jiang Hao Kun was stunned by her sudden, nonsensical question.

“What are you talking about?” he asked, confused.

“Ha! You can do it but you can’t admit it, can you?”

Jiang Lai looked at Jiang Hao Kun sarcastically.

“I have no idea what you’re talking about. It’s all nonsense.”

Jiang Hao Kun had come to check on his sister after seeing her angry. But he was suddenly blamed for something he didn’t do.

“Yang Yu! Did you do something to him? Why isn’t he talking to me anymore? He blocked my number.”

Jiang Lai glared at Jiang Hao Kun. She was sure it was him, he was that kind of person.

“I, Jiang Hao Kun, always admit my mistakes. I have nothing to do with this. I’ve never done anything to him.”

He couldn’t take the blame for something he didn’t do. Jiang Lai already hated him because of Chen Fang. If he took this blame, he knew that she wouldn’t forgive him for the rest of his life.

But this kid was smart enough to know he wasn’t good enough for Jiang Lai. He knew when to retreat. If Chen Fang had been as sensible, things wouldn’t have gone this way, Jiang Hao Kun thought silently.

Jiang Lai wouldn’t believe him. In her mind, Jiang Hao Kun was a villain who did evil things without remorse.

“If you say you didn’t do it, then find him for me so I can ask him myself. Unless you’re guilty, then get him here.”

Jiang Lai knew that if her brother wanted to find someone, he would definitely be able to. So she said it deliberately, to provoke him.

“Such a simple trick, and you think I wouldn’t see through it? But to prove my innocence, even though I know you’re trying to manipulate me, I will help you find him to put your mind at ease.”

Jiang Hao Kun, an old fox of the business world, could see through Jiang Lai’s intentions. But since Yang Yu was so sensible, he decided to meet him first, give him a little something, and then make sure he disappeared for good.

Although Yang Yu stayed at home most of the time, he wasn’t deliberately hiding from anyone. It was easy for someone like Jiang Hao Kun to find him.

That day, Yang Yu was playing a game at home.

Bang! Bang!

Bang! Bang!

He heard a knocking sound at the door.

Yang Yu was confused. He had no friends, so who could it be?

He opened the door and saw Jiang Hao Kun.

“What can I do for you, Mr. Jiang?”

He was avoiding Jiang Lai and didn’t want to get involved, but Jiang Hao Kun was looking for him, which surprised him.
