After Giving Up, My Rich Ex-Husband Begged Me to Return CHAPTER 76
Chapter 76 How Could It Be a Coincidence?
Jiang Su, intrigued, asked, “Which old classmate of yours?”
When Jiang Su was young, he lived with his maternal grandmother and didn’t attend the same elementary school as Jiang Li Chuan. After returning to the Jiang family, he attended the same schools as Jiang Li Chuan.
Most of Jiang Li Chuan’s old classmates were also Jiang Su’s old classmates.
Jiang Li Chuan paused. “Lu Jue.”
Jiang Su felt that Jiang Li Chuan’s brief silence meant something was amiss.
He pretended to be indifferent and refused. “I don’t know him, I’m not going.”
Jiang Li Chuan knew that Jiang Su was deliberately refusing.
He gritted his teeth and said, “It’s Lu Jue, the one who helped me fight back in sixth grade.”
“Oh—” Jiang Su lengthened his tone, saying slowly, “I remember, was that the time you showed off and got beaten up?”
The Jiang children all had private martial arts instructors when they were young.
But Jiang Li Chuan loved to be clever and lazy, his skills weren’t good, yet he loved to show off at school, and ended up being beaten up on his way home from school.
Luckily, the class monitor, who happened to pass by, saved him.
Because of this incident, Jiang Li Chuan was ridiculed by the Jiang family for half a year.
Jiang Su also remembered this incident clearly.
Jiang Li Chuan: “Can’t you just let me have this without making fun of me?”
Jiang Su said with a smile, “Don’t be like that, we’re all good brothers, even if I don’t have time tomorrow, I’ll make time to help you.”
Jiang Li Chuan: “…” Suddenly felt that asking Jiang Su for help in the first place was a mistake.
…
Jiang Su had an event the next morning.
The event location was quite far from the game competition venue.
As soon as Jiang Su finished the event, he rushed to the game competition venue.
Xu Mo Cun had bought lunch for Jiang Su in advance.
Jiang Su sat in the back seat, eating lunch while listening to Xu Mo Cun talk about the situation at the game competition.
“The celebrity who bailed on the organizers is Bai Mu, who recently starred in a web drama and just became popular. His popularity has been quite high lately…”
After knowing Jiang Su was going, Xu Mo Cun had investigated the situation thoroughly.
Jiang Su asked, “Why did he suddenly bail on the organizers?”
Xu Mo Cun: “Bai Mu’s response to the organizers was that his schedule conflicted.”
Jiang Su looked up upon hearing this. “He said his schedule conflicted right before he was supposed to go on stage?”
Xu Mo Cun shook his head. “This game is quite popular, and the organizers are rich. They should have offered a considerable amount of money, even if his schedule really did conflict, it shouldn’t be the case that he bailed.”
Jiang Su chuckled. “Maybe he’s not short of money.”
Xu Mo Cun teased him, “Think everyone’s like you.”
Based on his intuition from being in the entertainment industry for several years, he felt that something was fishy about Bai Mu’s actions.
But Xu Mo Cun didn’t intend to investigate further.
After all, Bai Mu and Jiang Su were not in the same field and normally wouldn’t have any interaction.
Jiang Su and Xu Mo Cun arrived at the venue half an hour early.
From a distance, Jiang Su saw Jiang Li Chuan standing by the road.
A man in a black hoodie and baseball cap was standing next to Jiang Li Chuan. His face was unclear, but that should be Lu Jue.
As soon as the car stopped, Jiang Li Chuan and Lu Jue walked over.
Lu Jue spoke with gratitude, “Mr. Jiang.”
Jiang Su only then saw Lu Jue’s face clearly. His facial features were sharp, showing signs of fatigue, but his eyes were bright, and he looked like a reliable person.
“I’ve heard a lot about you.” Jiang Su glanced at Jiang Li Chuan seemingly casually. “Mr. Lu, don’t be so formal, just call me by my name.”
Lu Jue, understanding, smiled, “Then don’t call me Mr. Lu either. Please come inside.”
Lu Jue thoughtfully walked ahead, Xu Mo Cun walked beside him, and casually asked a few more questions about Bai Mu.
Jiang Su and Jiang Li Chuan were at the back.
Jiang Su leaned over and whispered to Jiang Li Chuan, “Lu Jue is quite handsome.”
Jiang Li Chuan: “…”
Jiang Su asked in confusion, “Lao Liu, why aren’t you talking to me?”
Jiang Li Chuan coldly snorted, “Why wouldn’t I talk to you? Don’t you have any self-awareness?”
Jiang Su remained unfazed. “No.”
Jiang Li Chuan: “…” Just because he got divorced, he’s become so dark and mysterious?
…
Lu Jue first took them to the lounge.
“I’ve reserved VIP seats for you. My cousin will also come, and if you want to stay and watch the competition, you can all sit together…”
Just as Lu Jue said this, his assistant knocked and entered.
“Mr. Lu, Mr. Zhou is here.”
Lu Jue turned to Jiang Su’s side and said, “My cousin is here; I’ll go see him.”
Jiang Li Chuan waved his hand. “Okay, you go ahead.”
Lu Jue turned and left. Jiang Li Chuan was standing outside the door and glanced out.
Seeing this, Jiang Li Chuan couldn’t help but curse, “Damn!”
“What’s wrong?” Jiang Su was curious about what Jiang Li Chuan had seen and went over to look.
Jiang Li Chuan pushed Jiang Su back, “It’s just someone I don’t know, there’s nothing to see…”
Jiang Su calmly said, “I already saw them.”
Xu Mo Cun asked, “Huo Qing Yan and Zhou Fu, who’s his cousin?”
“Zhou Fu.” Jiang Su was well-informed about the Huo family.
The Huo family was quite prosperous in Huo Lao Yezi’s generation, but in Huo Zhen Heng’s generation, some died, and some were incapacitated. There was almost only Huo Zhen Heng left in his generation.
Huo Qing Yan doesn’t have a cousin.
Lu Jue, who knew nothing about the grievances between the Jiang and Huo families, excitedly brought Zhou Fu over to introduce him to Jiang Li Chuan.
“Li Chuan, this is my cousin Zhou Fu. Cousin, this is my old classmate, Jiang Li Chuan.”
After Lu Jue finished the introduction, he realized everyone had strange expressions.
He was a little bewildered.
Jiang Li Chuan wasn’t the kind of wealthy kid who looked down on people. Although his cousin was just an assistant, many people wanted to poach him. Jiang Li Chuan shouldn’t look down on him, right?
Jiang Su glanced at the bewildered and helpless Lu Jue and patted his shoulder sympathetically. “Go ahead and get busy, we know your cousin.”
Lu Jue suddenly realized. “You know each other? Then you guys chat first.”
As soon as Lu Jue left, the atmosphere immediately turned cold.
Jiang Li Chuan looked at Huo Qing Yan, who hadn’t spoken. “Oh, CEO Huo is so free, is Huo Corporation about to go bankrupt?”
Huo Qing Yan was not the kind of person who would appear in this kind of place.
He must have secretly checked Jiang Su’s schedule and followed him on purpose.
This dog man didn’t cherish him earlier, and even after the divorce, he’s still clinging and wanting to get back together. He’s really delusional.
Huo Qing Yan seemed not to hear Jiang Li Chuan’s words and only looked up at Jiang Su.
Sometimes, knowing someone too well isn’t a good thing.
Although Huo Qing Yan didn’t say a word, Jiang Su saw what he wanted to say in his eyes.
Huo Qing Yan wanted to say that he didn’t deliberately check Jiang Su’s schedule and follow him.
Jiang Su coldly echoed Jiang Li Chuan’s words, “Who says not?”
Zhou Fu being Lu Jue’s cousin could be a coincidence, but Huo Qing Yan appearing in this place, how could it be a coincidence?
