Chapter 133
Chapter 133: Lovestruck Girl, All Crows Under Heaven Are Black
Yang Wei followed Jiang Yun’er all the way to the Jiang family mansion. Watching the Maybach drive into the courtyard, Yang Wei got out of the taxi.
“Sir, without an invitation, you can’t enter.” The bodyguard at the gate stopped Yang Wei.
Yang Wei glanced at him and left. Now that he knew Jiang Yun’er lived here, he could think of another way to meet her. After leaving, Yang Wei squatted by the roadside, waiting. He needed to figure out Jiang Yun’er’s daily routine to approach her more effectively.

Jiang Che drove his Rolls-Royce straight into the Jiang family courtyard without any hindrance. The security guard at the gate didn’t say a word.
Although he didn’t recognize the car’s owner, he knew that a car with a license plate featuring four 8s must belong to someone significant. He wasn’t someone a small security guard could afford to offend, and it was likely that he had business with the family head.
After parking his car, Jiang Che got out and walked toward the villa’s living room. He had visited the Jiang family before, so the servants recognized him and didn’t stop him.
“Master, the young master of the Jiang family is here.” In the villa’s living room, Jiang Tongji was drinking hot tea when a butler approached and informed him.
“Jiang Che is here? Why would he come so late?” Jiang Tongji was surprised and quickly got up to go to the living room.
Although Jiang Che was friendly towards him, he didn’t dare to be negligent. He knew it was because his daughter was Jiang Che’s fiancée’s junior sister.
“Uncle Jiang, how have you been? It’s been a while, and Uncle Jiang is as impressive as ever…”
“Young Master Jiang…” After some pleasantries, Jiang Tongji led Jiang Che to the sofa in the living room and personally poured him a cup of hot tea before curiously asking,
“Is there something you need, Young Master Jiang?” No one visits without a reason, and he didn’t think Jiang Che came just for a chat.
“Yun’er called me, saying she encountered a bad person, so I came to check. Where is she?” Jiang Che looked around the living room, not seeing Jiang Yun’er, and asked curiously.
“Encountered a bad person?” Jiang Tongji was confused. His daughter seemed fine when she came back from school, still beaming with happiness. She didn’t look like she had encountered any trouble.
“Yun’er is in her room. I’ll have someone call her.”
“Brother!” Just as Jiang Tongji was speaking, Jiang Yun’er ran down from the second floor and jumped into Jiang Che’s arms, hitting him like a cannonball.
“Brother, you finally came! I’ve missed you so much~” Jiang Yun’er’s face was full of excitement, constantly expressing her longing.
“Ahem… Get off me first…” Jiang Che coughed and said seriously. Jiang Tongji was still there, so he felt the need to maintain some decorum.
After all, flirting with someone’s daughter in front of them was a bit much.
“Dad, why are you still here?” Following Jiang Che’s gaze, Jiang Yun’er saw her father’s very expressive face.
Her gaze turned resentful, and her tone was displeased.
Jiang Tongji: …
“You encountered a bad person?” Jiang Tongji frowned and asked Jiang Yun’er. As for her relationship with Jiang Che, he thought it inappropriate to ask now and would wait until Jiang Che left.
“Yes, a bad guy was following me!” Talking about this made Jiang Yun’er angry, her face full of indignation.
“Why was he following you? Could it be one of my enemies?” Jiang Tongji frowned, pondering. He had made many enemies while expanding the Jiang family’s business, offending numerous people. He thought one of his enemies might be targeting his daughter.
“No, he was just a perverted lolicon trying to hit on me!” Jiang Yun’er shook her head, speaking with disgust. She knew her petite figure was appealing to certain lolicons.
There were plenty of sleazy men who ogled her on the street.
“I see. Just have someone warn him and drive him away.” Jiang Tongji sighed in relief. As long as it wasn’t an enemy, he wasn’t too worried. He knew his daughter often received confessions from various men. Despite her petite stature, her beauty was undeniable.
This also brought him some pride, as Jiang Yun’er was his daughter.
“Brother, I was so scared, thinking I wouldn’t see you again. Boohoo…” A hint of cunning flashed in Jiang Yun’er’s eyes as she buried her head in Jiang Che’s chest, sobbing softly and moving her head around, looking very aggrieved.
Jiang Che patted her shoulder symbolically, softly comforting her, “Don’t be afraid, I’m here now.”
He knew Jiang Yun’er was just acting, using this as an excuse to cling to him. He didn’t even feel any wetness from tears on his chest. Moreover, her nickname of “little witch” wasn’t for nothing. It was already good that she didn’t play a prank on Yang Wei.
“Daughter, what are you doing? Get off Young Master Jiang!” Seeing his daughter clinging to Jiang Che, Jiang Tongji scolded her in displeasure.
He didn’t oppose his daughter dating, but Jiang Che already had a fiancée. The relationship between these two was clearly complicated.
“Hmph! Dad, you’re a big bad guy!” Reluctantly, Jiang Yun’er lifted her head from Jiang Che’s chest, looking at her father with dissatisfaction.
How did he manage to woo her mother with such low emotional intelligence? Couldn’t he see she was deliberately clinging to her brother?
“Brother, let’s go to my room. I have a gift for you.” Jiang Yun’er snorted, ignoring her father, and dragged Jiang Che upstairs to her room.
Jiang Che looked at Jiang Tongji helplessly, shrugged, and let Jiang Yun’er lead him upstairs.
Watching them, Jiang Tongji sighed with a wry smile, feeling a bit emotional.
“Indeed, daughters can’t be kept at home…”
“Haven’t you noticed that our daughter is actively pursuing Young Master Jiang? Why are you still playing the third wheel here?” After Jiang Che and Jiang Yun’er left, Mrs. Jiang walked out and looked at her husband with some exasperation.
She had noticed the intimacy between them and how Jiang Yun’er had been acting lovestruck recently, often daydreaming and smiling foolishly. It was clear she was smitten. Previously, she was worried about her precious daughter ending up with some undeserving man, but seeing it was Jiang Che, she felt relieved.
After all, Jiang Che was known for his gentlemanly demeanor and wasn’t like other rich second-generation heirs who messed around and abandoned girls.
“But Young Master Jiang has a fiancée! And it’s Yun’er’s senior sister. Isn’t she betraying her senior sister by doing this?” Jiang Tongji frowned. If Jiang Che didn’t have a fiancée, he would gladly let him date his daughter.
But with Shen Qingqiu in the picture, Jiang Yun’er was bound for heartbreak.
“You, a man, can’t understand a girl’s heart. What if her senior sister agrees? Young people today are more open-minded… And you, after all these years, can you guarantee you haven’t looked for other women outside?” Mrs. Jiang’s tone changed, looking coldly at her husband.
She had long known about Jiang Tongji’s affairs but chose not to expose him, knowing it was a common issue among wealthy families. All men with money were the same; they wouldn’t stay faithful to one woman unless she had been with him through thick and thin.
“This… Why are you bringing me into this…” Jiang Tongji’s face turned awkward and guilty, unable to meet his wife’s eyes, knowing she had hit the mark.
“Hmph.” Mrs. Jiang glanced at him and decided to ignore him. She had come to terms with it over the years.
As long as he didn’t father any illegitimate children outside, she would turn a blind eye. Having a child outside would threaten her and Jiang Yun’er’s status. Jiang Tongji had kept his affairs discreet, not leaving any illegitimate children, so she pretended not to know.
After all, Jiang Yun’er was grown, and she wasn’t a young woman anymore. Divorce at this stage wouldn’t be worth it.
“Moreover, Jiang Che’s background is much stronger than ours. We are the ones climbing up to him. I don’t know what you’re worried about.” Mrs. Jiang looked at Jiang Tongji with some exasperation. Jiang Che had a good character, background, treated people sincerely, loved his women, and was handsome. It was clear why Jiang Yun’er pursued him.
If she were twenty years younger, she’d pursue him too!
“Sigh…” Jiang Tongji sighed with a complicated expression, knowing his wife was right. It was he who was being overly concerned.
