Chapter 293 The Beloved Person; The First Smash of 2008
After dinner, Chen Jianghe and Jiang Yishu walked out of the community side by side, strolling aimlessly.
The weather was still very cold, but fortunately it wasn't raining and the wind wasn't strong.
Jiang Yishu's palms were soft and warm, and it felt great to hold them in her hands.
When he was with her, Chen Jianghe always felt calm and satisfied. Even such an extremely boring after-dinner activity as walking on the street had a different kind of interest.
Jiang Yishu spoke very little. Sometimes she looked up at the lonely stars in the night sky, sometimes she looked down at the road under her feet, and more often she inadvertently cast her eyes at Chen Jianghe's profile.
"What are you thinking about?"
Chen Jianghe turned his head to look at her and asked with a smile.
"I'm thinking about what we'll be like when we're old." Jiang Yishu replied softly.
"Hmm?" Chen Jianghe was a little surprised: "You think so far?"
Jiang Yishu smiled faintly and said, "When my grandparents take a walk, they also hold hands like us."
"It's a blessing to think that we can still love each other as much as before even though we're old." Chen Jianghe said with emotion with a smile.
"We can do it too." Jiang Yishu said, "As long as you want, I will definitely stay with you."
Chen Jianghe looked down at her: "Why are your eyes red while you're talking?"
"No." Jiang Yishu turned her head slightly, sniffed softly and said, "Qiuya and Shaohai broke up again."
"Break up again?" Chen Jianghe looked surprised: "When did they reconcile?"
He was too busy recently and couldn't even find time to meet Yishu, let alone pay attention to Qin Shaohai's love life.
"During Christmas, Qin Shaohai stood downstairs of Qiuya's dormitory building holding an apple all night. The next day, he caught a bad cold and fever. Qiuya sent him to the school infirmary and stayed with him for two days and two nights. After he recovered, they got back together," said Jiang Yishu.
Chen Jianghe blinked his eyes. It was really impressive that Qin Shaohai, that idiot, could do such an infatuated thing.
"This sounds very touching. How could they break up again?" Chen Jianghe asked.
"A few days ago, Qin Shaohai and Qiuya went out to play until late at night, and then they suggested going..." Jiang Yishu was too embarrassed to continue as she spoke.
Chen Jianghe understood the whole story after hearing this, so he said, "Qin Shaohai suggested that they go to a hotel to sleep in a room, but Qiuya refused. He insisted, and the two of them had a quarrel and then parted unhappily. After they went back to calm down, they found that it was still not suitable, so they broke up again. Is that right?"
Chen Jianghe said this as if he had personally seen Qin Shaohai and Han Qiuya quarreling and breaking up. Jiang Yishu, who knew the inside story, was stunned.
"Are you affected by their breakup?" Chen Jianghe reached out and scratched Yishu's delicate nose.
"Yeah." Jiang Yishu nodded gently and subconsciously held Chen Jianghe's hand tightly: "I want to be with you well, and it's better to be like this forever, without breaking up and getting back together."
"Lovers break up and get back together, but a wife is for life."
Chen Jianghe raised her hand, dug into his pocket with his left hand, took out a small gift box, opened it with a click, and said with a smile: "I did two main things this afternoon. The first thing was to buy my aunt her favorite chicken nuggets and French fries, and the second thing was to buy a ring for the person I love the most."
Jiang Yishu looked down and saw the ring in the gift box glowing softly under the street light. It was crystal clear, sparkling, delicate and exceptionally beautiful.
"Are you going to propose to me?" Jiang Yishu's gentle voice unconsciously trembled slightly.
"Not yet."
Chen Jianghe smiled and said, "I'll put a circle on your finger first. When another boy pursues you or writes you a love letter, you can raise your hand and tell him that your husband doesn't agree with you dating someone else."
"Oh." Jiang Yishu said with a blush.
"Put your hand out and I'll put it on for you," said Chen Jianghe.
Jiang Yishu obediently stretched out her hand to him, and Chen Jianghe carefully put it on her. The size was just right, just like he had taken her to the jewelry store to try it on before.
"Do you like it?" Chen Jianghe asked.
"I like it." Jiang Yishu nodded with a smile.
Chen Jianghe raised and glanced at the brightly lit hotel not far away: "We won't go back tonight, let's stay in the hotel."
"Okay." Jiang Yishu nodded again.
"That's fine, I don't want you to reject me even once."
Chen Jianghe reached out and pinched her soft cheek, saying helplessly.
"Then, let's go back." Jiang Yishu hooked his finger.
"That's right." Chen Jianghe smiled with satisfaction: "I'm not that beast like Qin Shaohai, who gets upset and wants to break up when his girlfriend doesn't go to the hotel. That bastard deserves to be single, and I deserve to have a good girlfriend like you."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yishu covered her lips and smiled. Only her brother could say such shameless words.
…
…
January 20th.
After more than half a month of rainy days, the rare sunshine illuminated the entire eastern Guangdong.
The sun was shining brightly, which should have made people happy. However, an unexpected incident in the morning added to the frustration of Chen Jianghe, who was holding a morning meeting at the Light Chaser base.
At half past nine, hundreds of angry home buyers broke into the sales department of Sino-Ocean Group's Junya Mingyuan project, smashed their properties and demanded refunds.
The incident was immediately reported in the news and quickly became known as “the first smash in East Guangdong in 2008”.
At ten o'clock, another group of home buyers gathered at the direct store of Xiangjia Real Estate Agency and made a scene. They held banners and cursed "black-hearted agents, colluding with real estate developers to cheat hard-earned money, they have no conscience, and their whole family will be wiped out" and so on.
"That person in charge surnamed Ye, come out here! When you were trying to trick us into buying a house, you made all these exaggerated claims, saying that the location was good, the school district was good, the facilities were good, and that the price would definitely increase after we bought it. But it's only been a short time, and the prices are falling all over the country. If you have the guts, stop hiding and come out and explain it to us!"
Several ringleaders blocked the door of Xiangjia Huijing New City store aggressively, shouting that they wanted to seek explanation from Ye Xiaorong.
"Mr. Chen, there are so many people outside blocking the door, they look so fierce as if they want to eat me alive, what should I do?"
Ye Xiaorong had seen many storms, but this was the first time she had encountered such a scene. She told her friends not to go out for the time being while she called for help.
"Don't be afraid, stay calm first. I'm leading people there and they'll be there soon." Chen Jianghe gave Ye Xiaorong a reassurance as soon as he opened his mouth.
"There are a lot of them." Ye Xiaorong reminded, "It seems that there are also gangsters supporting the scene."
"It's okay. I'm here to talk sense to you all."
Chen Jianghe responded as if nothing had happened, and then said seriously: "You and your partners should stay in the store and don't act rashly."
"Yes, I know. In this situation, we dare not go out."
Ye Xiaorong's voice trembled a little, because the group of people outside were already banging on the door, and the community property management couldn't stop them even when they rushed over.
Not long after, there was a sudden sound of car horns "Beep Beep Beep" at the door.
What followed was a loud shout: "Get out of the way!"
All the troublemakers turned their heads in astonishment and looked towards the source of the sound, only to see a brand new Mercedes-Benz GLS speeding over. After parking, a tall and handsome young man got out of the car, looked around with sharp eyes , took out a cigarette, and calmly lit one.
It was Chen Jianghe.
After a while, more than ten white vans drove into the scene, lined up in a row, and opened their doors one after another. Dozens of vigorous young men, led by a young man with dyed green hair and a defiant face, strode up to Chen Jianghe.
All the troublemakers subconsciously took a few steps back and stared at the group of people with vigilance.
At this time, Chen Jianghe spoke up: "Don't misunderstand, I'm here to reason."
