Chapter 1302: Chapter 1303: Actively Asking Jiang Chenyue Out for Dinner

Jiang Chenyue nodded slightly, not taking it seriously, “I’m someone who doesn’t like to owe others favors. Although you are our family’s relative, I can’t let you help for nothing. Rest assured, I will compensate you for the time you’ve spent, and make sure you don’t lose out! The Chu Family doesn’t own any entertainment companies, but we do have plenty of resources to offer. I’ll give them all to you.”

Chu Xi’s lips turned white as she bit them, leaving a ring of teeth marks, “Mrs. Jiang, you’re too polite, really, there’s no need.”

What she desired was not those mere resources; she only wanted two things—1, to replace that unfortunate soul who couldn’t be found, to become the true Miss Chu.

2, to secure Li Shengxiao, even if she couldn’t become Miss Chu, she at least had to seize this opportunity to become Mrs. Li!

At first, she was optimistic about achieving both the first and the second.

Later, she realized she was too optimistic.

Now, her desires weren’t extensive, but she at least wanted to achieve the second goal—to become Mrs. Li!

To become Mrs. Li, she still needed Jiang Chenyue’s help; with Jiang Chenyue being so explicit in settling accounts, how could she still exploit this esteemed figure?

At that moment, Chu Xi genuinely hoped that Jiang Chenyue wouldn’t be petty with her.

Unfortunately, Jiang Chenyue wasn’t as complicated as she thought; she interrupted her, “I’m not being polite with you, I’m giving you what you deserve for the help you’ve provided! Alright. I’ve made up my mind. Don’t feel embarrassed, I want to compensate you. I can’t just let you help for nothing.”

After saying this, she waved her hand as if she didn’t want to argue about this matter any longer, “You should go back now.”

Chu Xi watched her leave, standing still in Chu Garden for a while. The servants of the garden quietly walked around her, busy with their own affairs, none sparing her more than a glance. It was as if her presence was optional, not driving her away, but also not recognizing her as their master.

Chu Xi clenched her fists tightly, suppressing the fierceness in her eyes, took out her phone, hesitated for a bit as if making up her mind, then dialed a number.

After making the call in a corner, she breathed a little easier, looking significantly more relaxed. She didn’t stay any longer and hurriedly left.

She had no choice, Qin Jun was different from Mrs. Jiang.

Mrs. Jiang would be tolerant towards her because of her name and age, but that man was like a venomous snake; every time he looked at her, it seemed as though he was figuring out how to strangle her.

She didn’t want to encounter that man especially when Mrs. Jiang was not around.

Chu Xi rushed as if something was chasing her, quickly disappearing from view…

Once she left, the man she dreaded didn’t return to Chu Garden either.

…

In Capital Minfu Xintiandi, there is a tasty restaurant called Sea Bottom Catch, which Rong Yan once tried and remembered the flavor being quite good.

She arrived with Little Baby, settled down at the table she had reserved, ordered a bottle of soy milk for Little Baby, and declined the waiter’s offer to order dishes, telling them she was waiting for a friend who would arrive soon.

Little Baby occasionally nibbled on the straw, making ‘zizi’ noises as he sucked on the soy milk, not playing with the phone anymore, his grape-like eyes staring at her, puffing up his cheeks in curiosity, asking, “Mom, who are you waiting for?”

Rong Yan flipped through the menu, checking the must-have dishes while answering his question, “The aunt we met yesterday. Didn’t she buy you a cake? Mommy wants to invite her for a meal to thank her.”

Li Duidui thought deeply then asked her, “That very pretty grandma?”
