Lu Yudong was certain that Jiang Ci must have met Chu Shuo yesterday; otherwise, Chu Shuo wouldn''t have suddenly sent so many messages.
Of course, it was also possible that he had always sent this many messages daily, and Lu just hadn''t known about it.
Lu Yudong felt slightly relieved; she was very trustworthy.
"From now on, behave yourself. If you need anything, tell me." Lu Yudong leaned against the headboard and lit a cigarette.
Jiang Ci closed her eyes and said nothing, unsure of how she had been "misbehaving."
This experience left Jiang Ci feeling pressured, recalling how eagerly she had wanted to see him before, realizing she had misplaced her sincerity.
After they were done, Jiang Ci lay down on the other side but couldn''t fall asleep.
Picking up her phone, she finally saw Chu Shuo''s messages.
She understood why Lu Yudong had acted that way; he must have seen the series of WeChat messages from Chu Shuo on her phone screen, leading him to mistakenly believe she had met Chu Shuo. In Lu Yudong''s mind, "Chu Shuo" was Jiang Ci''s current boyfriend, and when a couple meets, sparks naturally fly.
That''s why Lu Yudong had been so insistent earlier. He had clearly stated he found it distasteful.Love what you''re reading? Discover and support the author on the platform they originally published on.
So Jiang Ci explained, "Mr. Lu, I told you before, I''m a very professional person. Once I''ve taken on your job, I won''t entertain anyone else. Please rest assured about that."
"Job?"
"Yes. You pay, I show up." Jiang Ci''s tone carried a hint of displeasure.
"You''re doing a good job." Lu Yudong''s words were a double entendre, and with his doubts seemingly gone, his tone softened.
"Mr. Lu, there''s one thing you should understand: we''re not real!" Jiang Ci stated firmly.
Lu Yudong suddenly laughed, though the smile didn''t reach his eyes; he found Jiang Ci very naive.
Jiang Ci didn''t continue speaking and began scrolling through Chu Shuo''s WeChat messages. He had sent past exam questions for economic law and the test papers for "Financial Cost Management," which Jiang Ci hadn''t registered for, along with highlighted textbook content.
Chu Shuo was indeed a good teacher; his materials were very thorough.
Jiang Ci replied to him on WeChat: [Thank you, I was in the shower earlier and didn''t see your messages.]
[No problem, take your time to go through them. Once you''ve mastered these past questions, you should be fine.]
Jiang Ci didn''t speak to Lu Yudong. After turning off the bedside lamp, she fell asleep.
Her dissatisfaction with Lu Yudong didn''t affect her performance in front of Grandpa. The next day, she behaved as usual, so much so that Grandpa was reluctant to let his granddaughter leave, while he didn''t seem as attached to Lu Yudong.
On the way back, Lu Yudong transferred fifty thousand yuan to Jiang Ci.
The transfer was done casually, as she was only there to make Grandpa smile and didn''t even cook.
Looking at the fifty thousand yuan, Jiang Ci sent Lu Yudong a WeChat message: [What is this for?]
Moments later, Lu Yudong replied: [For a job well done.]
Jiang Ci''s face flushed instantly. Not wanting Lu Yudong to see her embarrassment, she turned her head towards the car window. She hadn''t realized that he paid each time they did this.
[Since it''s a job well done, Mr. Lu is welcome to book me often. After all, it''s better to work with familiar clients. Mr. Lu is quite generous.] Jiang Ci replied in a huff.
[If it''s often, you''ll need to come up with new tricks.]
[Alright, money is motivation. As a novice, I can''t match Mr. Lu''s experience; I need to practice and innovate regularly.]
After sending the message, Jiang Ci tossed her phone onto the seat and closed her eyes to rest.
