Chapter 36 Genius
Lu s.h.i.+ became livid after Jiang Yue left. But she tried her best to calm down so they can think of another plan.
"She- Chanming, what are we going to do now? That girl is so hateful. Always acting like she is above everyone. She even dared to look down on Jiang Corporation." Lu s.h.i.+ grumbled after Jiang Yue left.
"For now, we continue to ruin her reputation. Ask your daughter to perform well on the National exams. This will attract the attention of the Fu family. I heard that the school will also have a presentation after the exam as a farewell and to raise some funds for charity. Have your cousin invite someone from the Fu family as a guest. We have to make sure to make Jiang Mian s.h.i.+ne this night." Jiang Chanming answered after thinking things through. He could not just forced Jiang Yue to marry.
If Jiang Yue will tell her grandfather about his affair with Lu s.h.i.+ before w.a.n.g Rou"s death then it will be the end of Jiang Corporation. He knows that w.a.n.g Guiren loved her daughter so much. He will surely destroy his company.
Lu s.h.i.+ nodded. Her husband is right. The best thing that they could do is avoid slighting Jiang Yue for now. However, after sealing the engagement with the Fu family they can surely do whatever they want with her.
Lu s.h.i.+ can"t help but wonder why the Fu family haven"t responded to those rumors yet. The Fu family is not doing anything to stopped it so they must have like the idea of this engagement.
What Lu s.h.i.+ didn"t know is that the Fu family didn"t try to stop it because they all know that those rumors are true.
The Young Master of the Fu Family will soon have an engagement with the Young Miss of the Jiang Family. However, this young miss is surely not the one in the rumors.
In fact everyone in the Fu Family knows this. Everyone knows the effort that their young master is doing to have this engagement.
Just like how a certain Young Master is sweating profusely while trying to make Jiang Yue"s favorite dessert.
This young master is none other than Fu Jin. After Jiang Yue rejected his marriage proposal, he immediately called his father to ask for his help.
His father laughed at his son and encourage him to do the things that Jiang Yue love. Since Jiang Yue loves food, Fu Jin decided to learn cooking. He also decided to make her favorite dessert.
According to his father, women will never reject a man who knows how to make good food. Especially her favorite food. His father also told him not to follow and pester Jiang Yue. Or else she will lose her patience and hate him instead.
However, Fu Jin decided against his father"s second advice. If he will not follow Jiang Yue around, then how will he get rid of all the flies flying around her?
His father"s third advice is to pamper her. Everyone loved to be pampered. So today, Fu Jin decided to send Jiang Yue a hundred purple tulips.
He knows how Jiang Yue loved this flowers. He also included a dozen of her favorite chocolate made by the best gourmet chocolatier in the world.
And this scene is what welcomed Jiang Yue when she arrived at the Jiang"s estate. A bouquet of purple tulips and a box of her favorite chocolates. Her eyes curved as she smiled after she received the flowers.
Purple tulips is her favorite flower simply because they mean royalty. That is what she always thought from her past life. That she is like a royal. Always on top of everyone.
However, tulips also means rebirth. They are usually one of the first few flowers to bloom in spring. This earned them the symbol of rebirth. For Jiang Yue this flower fits her perfectly after her reincarnation. She smelled the flowers and smiled to herself.
"I see you"ve taken a liking to his gifts." Her grandfather"s voice interrupted her thoughts.
"Grandfather." She smiled at the old man walking towards her.
"That Fu Jin is a peculiar young man. Until now, I don"t understand why he would suddenly approach me when you clearly don"t know him yet." Her grandfather let out a long sigh before he continued. "I thought he was just playing around. After all, most young men from influential families do that. But I realized I was wrong when I saw how he reacted at the hospital. He looked like a husband who lost his wife."
w.a.n.g Guiren originally thought that the Fu family wanted to have Jiang Yue as Fu Jin"s wife because they want to have an alliance with the w.a.n.g"s. He waited and waited for someone from the Fu Family to talk to him after Fu Jin left.
But n.o.body came. Then he saw the young man act like a lost puppy during Jiang Yue"s accident. He can feel Fu Jin"s raging emotion all over the Jiang Yue"s room.
He tried to calm the young man down but to no avail. Fu Jin won"t talk to anyone aside from occasionally scolding the doctor attending Jiang Yue. He also didn"t leave Jiang Yue"s side.
After Jiang Yue woke up and showed no signs of being close to Fu Jin, w.a.n.g Guiren can"t stop but wonder. This phenomenon puzzled him.
Fu Jin is an accomplished young man with very good family background. Everyone would want to a.s.sociate themselves with him. However, her granddaughter clearly didn"t recognize him.
If Jiang Yue didn"t know the man, then why would Fu Jin want to marry her? If it was because of Jiang Yue"s background, then why would he react the way he reacted at the hospital? Anyone who would see Fu Jin in that state will not believe that he is not in a close relations.h.i.+p with Jiang Yue.
This made w.a.n.g Guiren confuse. He can"t seem to understand the young man"s purpose in pursuing Jiang Yue.
"We already met before. I just…. forgot about him." Jiang Yue said. Her statement is not completely a lie. They did meet. Just not in this lifetime.
She wasn"t about to tell her grandfather that Fu Jin knew her from his dreams. That would be so crazy.
"So why did Jiang Chanming wanted to see you?" Her grandfather decided to change the topic. He is afraid he might say something that he is not allowed to say.
"He wanted to set up an engagement for me." She answered.
w.a.n.g Guiren"s gaze turn cold after he heard Jiang Yue"s statement.
"But I did not agree." She continued."So, he disowned me. Not that it mattered to me." She shrugged.
"Impudent! How could he disown his own daughter? Did he know that it will damage your reputation?" w.a.n.g Guiren said. Anger apparent in his voice.
"Grandfather. Do not stress yourself. People like him is not worth it. I don"t mind about my reputation. So what if no one wants to marry me? I can just stay in the w.a.n.g mansion and take care of you." Jiang Yue coaxed her grandfather. She really doesn"t mind about the opinion of other people.
Her grandfather"s gaze softens as he looked at his granddaughter. "You are right. Do not think about your despicable father anymore. You always have the w.a.n.g Family behind you. The national exams in coming in days. How was your preparation?" He inquired. Somehow, w.a.n.g Guiren understood Jiang Yue"s line of thoughts.
Jiang Yue is smart. And she does not want to concern herself with insignificant people. As long as her granddaughter is happy then he is content. However, this does not mean that he will let this pa.s.s and act like a bystander. He will not let that Jiang Chanming sleep for a while.
"All good. You should not worry about the National Exams grandfather. I am a genius just like you." Jiang Yue smiled while teasing her grandfather.
Her grandfather dissolved into a puddle of laughter as he pats her head. "You are right. You are just like me."
