Chapter 103 I Still Love Lin Jiang
The two looked at each other.

Lin Jiang frowned slightly and kept muttering to himself.

How come I can meet her here?
Also, what's with her clothes?

Lin Jiang suddenly remembered that Chen Jingjia worked in a property management company, and he seemed to have met her before when he was having dinner with the Qin sisters.

She doesn't work here, does she?
When she saw Lin Jiang again, Chen Jingjia no longer had the sense of superiority she had before, only an awkward smile.

“So you bought a house here.”

Lin Jiang nodded, "What's the matter?"

"It's nothing, I just happened to be on my way, so I just happened to deliver it to you."

"Thank you. Goodbye."

Lin Jiang ordered everyone to leave. Qiu Yunong brought in two lunch bags, thanked Chen Jingjia, and closed the door.

boom!
Seeing the door closed, Chen Jingjia felt extremely sad.

After all, she was his ex-wife, but now she was delivering breakfast to him and another woman.

There couldn't be anything more ironic than this.

Inside the house, Qiu Yunong took the food to the dining room and noticed that the atmosphere between the two of them was a little off.

"Brother Jiang, do you two know each other?"

Lin Jiang nodded, "My ex-wife."

"Ah? Ex-wife?"

Qiu Yunong's eyes widened. She never expected that Lin Jiang was actually married.

Lin Jiang believed that there was no need to conceal this matter, and it was not something shameful.

"Don't be so surprised, it's just a divorce."

"I'm not surprised by the divorce, but given your conditions, even if there is a problem with the hardware, no woman would be willing to divorce you, right?"

"Wait a minute, what do you mean by 'even if there is a problem with the hardware'? Explain clearly."

"Goose, goose, goose...that's not what I meant. I know you're fine."

"How do you know it's okay?"

"because……"

Qiu Yunong was a little embarrassed and whispered, "When we were shooting the third video yesterday, you pushed me from behind when you were correcting my movements."

"Huh? Is there any?"

"Oh, of course there was. You were correcting me at the time and might not have noticed this detail."

Lin Jiang thought about the content of the third video, and it seemed that his brothers’ opinions were indeed quite significant.

"So that's how it is. I'll take some time to talk to it. It's not profound at all."

"Oh, no, no, it's human nature. If you don't react at all, then my efforts will be in vain. It doesn't matter."

Qiu Yunong ate and talked, and brought the topic back:

"You are rich, good-looking, and over 180cm tall. You are simply the perfect boyfriend. Apart from that problem, I can't think of any other possibilities. But it could also be that your ex-wife is mentally ill."

"Ah, ah, ah, didn't you just say there was no problem with my hardware?"

"Brother Jiang, you can't look at it that way. Standing up for one minute has a different effect than standing up for half an hour."

It is indeed different, you can see the underwater world.

"Haha, it works, don't think too much."

"That means she's not very smart."

After dinner, they packed up briefly and went out.

"Brother Jiang, are you free tomorrow?" Qiu Yunong asked in the elevator.

"tomorrow?"

"I might be busy today, finishing up the account stuff, so I probably won't have time to shoot videos, but if we have time tomorrow, we can shoot a few more."

"Okay, then tomorrow, call me then."

"it is good."

The two went down to the basement to get the car and unexpectedly saw Chen Jingjia here.

Seeing Lin Jiang's ex-wife again, Qiu Yunong said with a discerning look:
"Brother Jiang, I'll take a taxi and leave by myself. Don't send me off."

"fine."

As he said that, Lin Jiang pressed the car key.

Just at this moment, Chen Jingjia walked over quickly.

"Lin Jiang, do you have time? I want to talk to you."

"Brother Jiang, I'm leaving first. You guys chat."

Qiu Yunong didn't want to be a light bulb, so she said hello and left.

Lin Jiang had no choice but to nod.

Seeing Qiu Yunong leave, Chen Jingjia gathered her hair and asked, "How are you doing recently? Are you doing well after your divorce?"

"It's pretty good. It has everything it needs."

"That woman just now, is she your new girlfriend?" Chen Jingjia said tentatively, "This girl doesn't seem to be the same girl I met in the mall before."

"You came to me just to ask about this? What does it have to do with you whether it's true or not?"

"No, it's not..."

Faced with Lin Jiang's indifference, Chen Jingjia's aura was completely suppressed, and she didn't even dare to breathe.

"It just feels like a coincidence. I didn't expect you to buy a house here and I work here."

"Don't talk about these nonsense. What do you want to talk to me about? I'm in a hurry. Don't delay me."

"Don't be like this. After all, we are married. Can't we just catch up after meeting each other?"

"What are you talking about? Last time we met at Crab House, you didn't ask me to reminisce about the past. And when we met at Plaza 66, you didn't ask me to reminisce about the past either. Why do you want to reminisce about the past now?"

Lin Jiang said: "Or, since I'm rich now, you want to reminisce about the past with me?"

Chen Jingjia was speechless when asked and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Lin Jiang was right. If he hadn't bought the Century Triumph house, the Maybach, and started a company, he wouldn't have come to find him.

"I'm leaving."

After opening the car door and getting in, Lin Jiang drove away.

Chen Jingjia stood there in a daze, as if she had lost her soul.

Ring ring ring——

Chen Jingjia's cell phone rang, and the caller was named Zhao Dan.

Zhao Dan was Chen Jingjia's college classmate, and they even shared bunk beds.

During college, Chen Jingjia was introverted and not very courageous. Zhao Dan took care of her like an older sister, and their relationship became better and better.

However, after graduating from university, Zhao Dan went to Beijing to work, and the two had few opportunities to meet, but they never lost contact.

"Sister Dan."

Chen Jingjia adjusted her mood and answered the phone.

"I'll give you a chance, guess where I am."

"where?"

Chen Jingjia suddenly remembered that when the two of them were chatting some time ago, Zhao Dan said that he was going to be transferred to work at the China Overseas headquarters.

Is it possible...

"You're not coming back, are you?"

"clever."

"When will you arrive? I'll pick you up."

"No need for you to answer it. I'm right at the entrance of Century Triumph. There's a good barbecue restaurant here. Let's eat here at noon and go out for drinks in the evening."

"Okay, I'll come find you now."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Jingjia took a picture of her makeup with her mobile phone, found that there was nothing wrong with it, and prepared to go to the appointment.

It should be a happy thing to have a good friend come back, but Chen Jingjia just couldn't be happy at all.

All I think about is Lin Jiang.

Why was I in such a hurry to divorce him in the first place? If I had been more patient and waited a little longer, would things have been different?

Maybe the person who appeared in C2401 last night was me.

But he still had a chance. Now was the cooling-off period for marriage, and they were not yet divorced.

It doesn't matter even if the two women he met had sex with him.

It's no big deal to play it occasionally.

Thinking of this, Chen Jingjia felt a sense of resentment in her heart.

If I hadn't listened to Xu Lili, I wouldn't have made such a request at the wedding.

Despite the unpleasantness, the wedding should go on as normal and the marriage will be maintained for now.

But there are no ifs in this world.

Now, it's all over.

My beautiful life was ruined by her. Chen Jingjia wanted to cry but had no tears. Why should I listen to her?
If I had a little more independent thinking, I would be a wealthy lady living in Century Triumph and moving in and out of high society every day!
Before she knew it, Chen Jingjia had arrived at the door of the barbecue restaurant.

"Jia Jia, I'm here."

There were not many people in the store, and even if Zhao Dan didn't say anything, he could see her at a glance.

Zhao Dan was dressed very delicately, with short chestnut hair and a black tight-fitting sweater that perfectly showed off the outline of her chest.

"When did you come? Why didn't you call me in advance so that I could pick you up?" Chen Jingjia said after sitting down.

"I just wanted to give you a surprise. I also called Lili. She happens to be nearby and will be here soon."

When Chen Jingjia heard Zhao Dan mention Xu Lili, she couldn't help but frown, and her mood, which had just improved, became depressed again.

The person she least wanted to see now was Xu Lili, but Zhao Dan was back and she was the one who called him here, so she couldn't spoil her fun.

"Come on, come on, order something first. Don't argue with me about the meal today. It's my treat."

"That won't do. This is my territory. There's no reason for me to ask you to treat me. This meal is on me."

"Okay, I'll be living in Zhonghai permanently in the future anyway, so I'll have plenty of opportunities to treat you, so I won't compete with you for this one."

Zhao Dan was not a pretentious person, and they had been friends for many years, so he didn't care about these trivial matters and started ordering food.

After ordering, the two started chatting.

"How is it? I've been working here for a while. This is a luxury house. Have you met any handsome and wealthy second-generation rich people?" Zhao Dan joked.

"Let alone the second generation of rich people, there are few rich old men." Chen Jingjia complained:
"These rich people don't show up in the community, so it's hard to see them."

"This is normal. People go in and out of the basement, so it's not easy to see them." Zhao Dan said:
"Besides, these wealthy people often travel for business, so they are even less likely to live at home for a long time."

“So, it’s very difficult to meet these people.”

Chen Jingjia was not in the mood, and thought of Lin Jiang again, and couldn't help sighing.

Not long after, the food was brought up one after another.

Xu Lili came late, carrying her bag, and sat next to Chen Jingjia.

"You two are so fast. You've already ordered everything."

Chen Jingjia frowned slightly, moved slightly to the side, and kept a proper distance from Xu Lili, but this action was not noticed by the two.

"People who come late are not eligible to order food, so just eat your food."

"Don't worry, I will definitely not be polite to you two."

Zhao Dan had been working in Beijing before, and the three of them hadn't seen each other for more than half a year, so naturally they had a lot of topics to talk about.

But it was always Zhao Dan and Xu Lili who were talking, and Chen Jingjia only occasionally agreed with a few words.

As they chatted, the two discovered that Chen Jingjia was not in a good state.

"What's wrong, Jia Jia? You look so listless. Aren't you happy that I'm back to work?" Zhao Dan teased.

"How is that possible? Let's have a drink."

"You can't lie to me. You're just not in a good state. Could it be that you haven't gotten over your divorce yet?" Zhao Dan teased.

She knew very well that Chen Jingjia did not want to marry Lin Jiang.

"Your worries are unnecessary. Jia Jia didn't want to marry him in the first place, and now he's been promoted to the head of property management at Century Triumph. He's surrounded by rich people, and this divorce won't affect him at all," said Xu Lili.

"Please stop talking."

Chen Jingjia suddenly raised her voice. She wanted to suppress her emotions, but when she heard Xu Lili say this, she couldn't help it.

If she hadn't persuaded me at the beginning, the ending might have been different.

The originally cheerful atmosphere dropped to freezing point in an instant.

Both of them noticed the anger in Chen Jingjia's words, which was obviously directed at Xu Lili.

"Jia Jia, what's wrong with you? I didn't offend you, did I?"

In public, Xu Lili felt a little embarrassed.

"Alright, alright, calm down, there are so many people here."

Zhao Dan hurriedly tried to stop the fight, feeling that they might not be able to finish the meal.

"It's all your fault, because you've been saying bad things about Lin Jiang and giving me bad advice. Otherwise, we can't get divorced!"

"What does this have to do with me? It was you who didn't want to marry him and asked me to give you some advice. Why are you blaming me now?"

"When did I say I didn't want to get married? I was just complaining, but you kept egging me on and giving me bad advice!"

"What's wrong with you? You can even blame this on me. How can you be so shameless?"

Xu Lili picked up her bag and said, "Okay, I won't eat this meal. You two can eat it."

"Hey, hey, hey, don't leave yet. Let's talk slowly."

Zhao Dan tried to hold Xu Lili back, but she pushed him away.

In desperation, Zhao Dan could only go to comfort Chen Jingjia.

"Jia Jia, what's going on?"

Zhao Dan pulled a chair and sat next to Chen Jingjia.

"I remember you complained in the group at the beginning that you didn't want to marry Lin Jiang, but you've been dating for many years and couldn't find a suitable reason to break up. Why are you blaming Lili again?"

"I was just complaining at the beginning. I still have Lin Jiang in my heart. If she hadn't kept whispering in my ear that I shouldn't marry a man without money, I wouldn't have done such a thing."

Zhao Dan looked at Chen Jingjia and said, "I feel like you're not in a good condition."

"Why is the state wrong?"

"When we were chatting in the group, you did say that you didn't want to marry Lin Jiang."

Zhao Dan was flipping through his phone as he spoke, "And I remember that after the divorce, you told us how wonderful single life was. Why did you suddenly change your mind now?"

Chen Jingjia held her forehead with one hand, not knowing how to start speaking for a moment.

"We've known each other for so many years, so don't hide anything from me."

Zhao Dan took out a ladies' cigarette from her bag and lit it up.

"Do you feel that you have changed jobs and are surrounded by rich people. With your figure and appearance, you can find someone better, but after working for so long, you find that there is no suitable one, so you start to miss Lin Jiang?"

"Ah."

"Even if you miss him, there should be a reason, right? Lin Jiang doesn't have any advantages except that he looks good."

"He's become rich."

"Becoming rich?"

Zhao Dan suddenly became interested, his eyes widened:
"Did your house get demolished? How much compensation was given?"

"I don't know the details, but he bought a car worth several million yuan and opened a company. My sister told me that he has tens of millions of yuan in his account. Most importantly, he also bought a house here for 1.65 million yuan."

"ah?!!!"

The first two items could be barely accepted, but when Zhao Dan learned that Lin Jiang spent 1.65 million to buy a house, he could no longer sit still.

"They live in a courtyard house in Beijing? Why are they given so much money for relocation?"

"I don't know what happened, but he just became rich and is no longer the same Lin Jiang."

"So you regret it now and want to get back together with him, right?"

"Yeah." Chen Jingjia nodded and said:
"I've thought a lot over the past few days, and I realized that I still love him and I can't forget him."

"Just forget it. If he had no money, I think you would have almost forgotten what gender he is. If you are a money worshiper, just say you are a money worshiper. There is nothing to be ashamed of."

Zhao Dan was also a quick-witted man and saw through the essence of the matter at a glance.

"At least you could use a more similar word. Money worship is so ugly."

"What's so bad about that? Which woman doesn't want to marry a rich man? But now you say that you still love him and can't forget him. That's a bit nonsense."

"It's all Xu Lili's fault. Although I had such an idea at the time, I never made up my mind. She kept instilling negative thoughts in me, saying that I couldn't marry a man without money, that I couldn't afford a car or cosmetics, and that women had to be beautiful and that if they married a man without money, they would have to be nannies and servants for the rest of their lives. I got carried away and did that at the wedding."

Chen Jingjia became angrier and angrier as she spoke, "If you had told me in advance that she would be coming, I wouldn't have come."

"Okay, this is my fault." Zhao Dan didn't care about these things anymore and continued to comfort Chen Jingjia:
"So your current idea is to reconcile with Lin Jiang, right?"

"Well, I do want to reconcile with Lin Jiang."

Zhao Dan flicked the ash off his cigarette and thought for a long time.

"No matter what, we are not in the right in this matter. You should take the initiative to apologize to him. You two have been together for so many years, and you are even talking about marriage. Maybe he will consider their old relationship and forgive you."

"Actually, I went to see him this morning, but he didn't want to say a single word to me," Chen Jingjia said frustratedly.

"This is normal. You embarrassed him at the wedding, so he must be angry. It's impossible for him to accept you so quickly."

After thinking for a while, Zhao Dan continued:
"You work here, and he bought a house here. You two will have more opportunities to meet each other in the future, which will also provide a chance for this relationship to be rekindled."

"That's true, but I'm afraid he won't want to see me."

"Take your time. Apart from him, do you have to start from other aspects?"

"Which aspects?" Chen Jingjia looked at Zhao Dan and asked, her eyes full of hope.

"His relatives and friends." Zhao Dan said:

"Your primary target is his mother. Old people are soft-hearted. Besides, you two got married before. She must approve of you more than others. You should say nice things, apologize to the old woman, and coax her to come. Once you have your future mother-in-law, it will be easier to deal with Lin Jiang."

"Besides this, what else should I do?"

"Among their relatives, who is close to Lin Jiang?"

"And his uncle even lent him money when he got married. Besides that, he has a pretty good relationship with his sister."

"Don't let these two go. As long as you can coax them into submission, your chances will be great."

"I see. I'll send them a message right away."
