Chapter Thirty-Six: Never Covet Your Friend’s Wife (2/2)

A person like Yan Jin knew how to get on in the world without revealing any weaknesses in the rapidly changing business industry. Compared to his unique investment methods, this truly was his most terrifying talent.

When dealing with his opponents and enemies, Yan Jin would smile as he took away the things that he wanted and he would even put the person in the wrong. Yet when it came to dealing with his limited number of friends, he ended up utilizing that exceptional ability to appropriately reject them.

In Yan Jin’s world, there was only one circle – he would be standing inside that loop, while the rest of the world would be outside it.

Chu Ge spent nearly twenty years, but he was merely standing on the borderline, unable to get any closer.

“I have a way to deal with Fan Xiaoge. Regardless of whether it was an exchange of benefits, I would never use marriage for any sort of deal.”

Chu Ge had guessed long ago that Yan Jin would hint to him not to interfere with that matter. But when he heard it himself, Chu Ge couldn’t help but sigh dejectedly.

Fine, how else would it be?

No matter how he pledged his loyalty, if Yan Jin did not accept his help, then there would be no other way to go about it.

Chu Ge couldn’t help but ridicule himself; otherwise he might end up being frustrated to death by Yan Jin.

Suddenly, the phone rang.

Yan Jin was surprised that someone would call his home phone. This was the villa that his grandfather had left behind. For the sake of commemorating the elder, he did not order any massive renovations for this villa and even kept the landline.

That phone was located in the corridor near the bedroom on the first floor. Yan Jin went to pick up the call and ended it in less than two minutes.

Chu Ge curiously asked, “Who’s that? What era are we in to be calling through a landline, an ancient antique?”

Yan Jin shot Chu Ge a glance. What kind of gaze was that? Chu Ge found it hard to describe. In any case, it was a gaze that sent goosebumps all over his body.

“What tricks do you have up your sleeve?” Chu Ge jumped up from the sofa.

Yan Jin replied, “Fan Xiaoge is coming. She said my mom made her come over to discuss the details of our wedding.”

“What the hell? When is she coming?” The moment Chu Ge thought of Fan Xiaoge, it made him feel uncomfortable. It was not the same feeling as getting dumped, but it was like wanting to slap his past self for not seeing through a person.

“She’s already at the door.”

“DAFUGGG!!!”

Chu Ge, who just sat down, really leapt up from the sofa this time and immediately covered his mouth that wanted to spout more vulgarities.

After calming down for three seconds, Chu Ge’s barely functioning brain sensed something weird: “Strange, how did she know that you’re living here? And she even knows the number to the landline?”

Yan Jin had a mysterious smile as he looked at Chu Ge: “She surely would have gotten such personal information from a person who has close contact with me. For example… my family doctor?”

“Don’t go on.” Chu Ge covered his own eyes: “I can’t look at you anymore.”

“Fine, hurry up and get to the second floor. I’ll get the door.”

After he settled everything with Chu Ge, Yan Jin wanted to put Xiao Yu back into his cage, yet he was strongly rejected by the hamster. Hence, with no other choice, he put Xiao Yu onto the coffee table and went to open the door.

The chairman did not seem to mind that the other person was exposed to the cold weather for a few minutes. It was not that Yan Jin had issues with dealing with house guests – Instead, it was because he never treated people who came without invitations as guests.

When he opened the door, Fan Xiaoge was standing there in a simple white dress with her long hair trailing over her shoulders as she carried a white Persian in her arms – she looked like a pure and perfect angel.

“I heard that Mr. Yan likes keeping pets too, so I brought Faye over.” Fan Xiaoge raised the Persian’s white paw: “Come on, Faye, say hello to Mr. Yan.”

Faye obediently meowed back.

The supposed “heard of” was probably another piece of information from Chu Ge.

The man who was hiding on the second level had already mentally cursed and berated Fan Xiaoge nonstop when he overheard the conversation.

Yan Jin’s remained expressionless with that unreasonable look. He stepped aside and walked towards the living room without turning back: “You may enter, Miss Fan.”

The lady who was prepared to be left outside the Yan family’s door was overjoyed – she had made the right move.

So long as he was a human, he would have some hobbies. Hobbies were like armor, and they were weaknesses.

See, a normal-looking white cat granted her a chance to step through the Yan family’s door.

Fan Xiaoge cautiously entered the living room. In that instance, she felt her soul tremble.

The moment she took this step, she would surely be able to become the Yan family’s mistress!

“Wait.” Yan Jin suddenly turned around: “Leave your cat outside.”

Yan Jin didn’t even mention “Faye”. He simply used “your cat” as an obvious choice of words to express his displeasure.

Fan Xiaoge stared blankly as she asked rigidly, “H-how come? Did Faye upset you?”

“Fishy would be scared.” Yan Jin walked towards the coffee table without even turning back.

Fan Xiaoge followed Yan Jin’s direction and saw that grey, mouse-like living creature. It was standing on that coffee table, looking at her with intrigue.

Don’t ask her how she could see that a mouse was watching her with intrigue.

At this moment, she only wanted to scream.
