Chapter 22: What Do You Think I’m Going to Do?

Chapter 22: Chapter 22: What Do You Think I’m Going to Do? Jin Jumo heard Mu Yan breathing lightly behind her and found it amusing, her lips forming a slight smile. Ying Jingyao noticed, raised an eyebrow slightly, looked deeply at Jin Jumo before turning to Director Chen, "Director, Little Yan is young and spoiled by her family. We promise to discipline her strictly from now on, without indulgence." After a pause, Ying Jingyao continued, "I’ll try to compensate for the negative impact Little Yan caused the school. I’ve heard the affiliated school needs funds for a new teaching building. I’ve already had the money transferred to your school’s finance department." After Ying Jingyao finished speaking, Director Chen was stunned. She’s seen generous people before, but never anyone this extravagant! Moreover, she couldn’t recall a wealthy and influential "Ying" family in Z City! Just after they left the director’s office, Xiao Nanqing coldly pulled Mu Yan, who was lingering beside Jin Jumo, and marched forward as if carrying a chick. Mu Yan gasped in fright, her face pale, "What are you doing?" Xiao Nanqing snorted, "After all the ’good deeds’ you’ve done, what do you think I’m going to do?" Mu Yan’s expression changed, and she anxiously turned to Jin Jumo for help, "Sister Jin, Sister Jin, save me..." "..." Xiao Nanqing’s fierce look and rough actions made Jin Jumo anxious, and she moved to step forward. Xiao Nanqing turned abruptly, his lips curling coldly, and gave Jin Jumo a chilly stare. Jin Jumo hesitated, then... meekly stepped back. Pretending not to see Mu Yan’s "desperate" glance, Jin Jumo pursed her lips and silently turned her gaze away. Thinking, if Mu Yan’s uncle can remain calm in such a situation, why should I intervene? It wouldn’t make sense, right? Ying Jingyao frowned as he watched Xiao Nanqing take Mu Yan away, then turned to Jin Jumo, his gaze warm and gentle, "Little Yan is immature, if she does anything inappropriate, Momo please don’t mind." Hearing his words, Jin Jumo recalled Mu Yan’s pitiful expression when she asked her to pretend as her parent to meet with the grade director, and couldn’t help but laugh lightly, saying to Ying Jingyao, "Little Yan is very cute." "Cute? She’s been mischievous since she was little." Ying Jingyao stared at Jin Jumo, noting her sincerity when praising Mu Yan’s cuteness, knowing she truly meant it. Raising an eyebrow slightly, he asked, "Momo, you and Little Yan... are you friends?" Including this time, they’ve only met twice; does this count as being friends? Though Mu Yan is rash and slightly odd, causing surprises. Her lively and cheerful nature makes her easy to get along with. With that thought, Jin Jumo nodded, "Hmm." Upon hearing the affirmative answer, a quick flash of light appeared in Ying Jingyao’s eyes, his voice seemingly a bit more cheerful. Jin Jumo didn’t notice, or rather, she noticed but didn’t care. Still, impersonating Mu Yan’s parent and being caught by the real "parent" was indeed embarrassing. Jin Jumo chuckled awkwardly, "Brother Ying, Little Yan didn’t tell you about the school asking her to bring a parent, mainly to avoid troubling you." Actually, she was afraid of being scolded! "So she asked me... don’t mind it." Jin Jumo blushed, a bit awkwardly looking at Ying Jingyao. Seeing her expression, Ying Jingyao’s refined face showed a smile, looking deeply at Jin Jumo, "Why would I mind?" On the contrary, he was delighted to see such a scene! He didn’t say it out loud, but his intense gaze made Jin Jumo’s eyes flicker. "I’m going to the hospital now, want to come?" Ying Jingyao asked. "... I have a performance class tonight, so I won’t go today. I’ll visit Grandpa at the hospital another day." Pausing, Jin Jumo sincerely looked at Ying Jingyao, "Brother Ying, can I ask you for a favor?" "Why be polite with Brother Ying?" Ying Jingyao said warmly, his eyes gently affectionate. Jin Jumo didn’t hold back, "I won’t be able to visit the hospital often for some time. If anything happens to my Grandpa, please let Brother Ying inform me promptly." Ying Jingyao noticed that every time Jin Jumo mentioned Jin Jiancheng, her bright eyes held deep emotions, ones he didn’t see at any other time. Slightly narrowing his eyes, Ying Jingyao grew serious, "Don’t worry, Brother Ying is here." Jin Jumo smiled, "Thank you, Brother Ying." Ying Jingyao raised his eyebrow with a smile, "That’s all?" "..." Huh? Jin Jumo looked at him, puzzled. "If you’re thanking me, shouldn’t you show some sincerity?" Ying Jingyao suddenly leaned forward, his handsome face approaching Jin Jumo. "Brother Ying..." Jin Jumo was caught off guard, her eyes trembling, instinctively stepping back two steps. Ying Jingyao simply smiled, reached out, and ruffled Jin Jumo’s hair, "Invite me to dinner then." That intimate gesture, paired with his gentle voice, made Jin Jumo’s heart skip a beat. Swallowing a few times, Jin Jumo slightly inhaled, then smiled calmly at Ying Jingyao, "Brother Ying said so, if I don’t invite you it’ll seem stingy of me. How about this Saturday? I’ll invite Brother Ying to dinner." "Will you cook yourself?" "..." Jin Jumo froze, surprised by his "high demands"! By Friday, not having to worry about someone far away in the UK suddenly "summoning" her, and having not spent a weekend with Jian Liangtong in a while. So when Jian Liangtong asked her to go shopping, Jin Jumo agreed. HK Fashion Design Company’s brand store. Jian Liangtong handed Jin Jumo a long wine-red knitted sweater, "Try it on for me." "..." Jin Jumo was speechless, "Jian Liangtong, you’re so lazy!" Jian Liangtong pouted, "Someone said they owed me compensation last time. What, you aren’t willing to try on clothes for me?" "I was just speaking casually, you took it seriously?" Jin Jumo said, while accepting the clothes. Jian Liangtong and she were about the same height and weight, so their clothes sizes were usually the same. "I don’t care if it was casual, I took it seriously anyway." Jian Liangtong glared at Jin Jumo angrily. Jin Jumo pursed her lips and put the sweater on. Today she wore a loose, casual long-sleeved shirt, in white. It matched well with the wine-red sweater. Jian Liangtong looked at Jin Jumo’s upper body effect and clicked her tongue, "Beautiful." Jin Jumo laughed, took off the sweater and handed it to her. "This is the one." Jian Liangtong decided immediately. "Decided?" So quick? Jin Jumo looked at Jian Liangtong in surprise; normally, she didn’t shop often, and when she did, she had to shop from street to street before stopping. And never made a purchase until the last minute. Did the sun rise from the west today? Jian Liangtong nodded and went to pay for the clothes. Jin Jumo was about to follow, her phone in her bag rang at the perfect moment. Taking out her phone, Jin Jumo’s eyes shrank, then glanced at Jian Liangtong at the cashier, moved aside with her phone, and answered with a soft laugh of surprise, "Mr. Rong..." "Where are you?" The man’s voice sounded tired, yet added a hint of raspy sensuality. "Shopping with a friend," Jin Jumo answered truthfully. "Did you buy anything?" Rong Mochen paused and asked. Jin Jumo looked down at her toes, laughingly said, "Mr. Rong might not understand, women don’t necessarily have to buy anything when shopping."
