Bringing a Female Companion Publicly

Jiang Jiu opened the car door and got out. Not far away, the sound of the car being hit was ear-piercing. At this moment, Lu Jinxing stood there with a dark expression and a chill around him.

So it wasn't a hallucination. It was really him!

"Young Madam, it's safer for you to stand here." Ji Chen stopped Jiang Jiu, who wanted to go forward.

Seeing the tattooed man in the lead being beaten up, the other hooligans wanted to go forward and help, but the man in front of them had an arrogant aura. One look at his clothes and they could tell that he was not an ordinary person. Moreover, Ji Chen's cold and murderous eyes were even more terrifying.

"What are you?"

Lu Jinxing unbuckled of his cufflinks and stared down at the man lying on the ground, grimacing. "How dare you touch my person?"

The tattooed man was no longer as arrogant as before. He looked at Lu Jinxing and seemed to recognize him. His entire body trembled. "You, who are you…"

"Ah—"

Before he could finish his sentence, the tattooed man cried out in pain.

Lu Jinxing raised his right foot and stomped heavily on the man's hand that was holding the wooden stick. His tone was gloomy. "Are you qualified to know who I am?!"

"Mercy, mercy!"

Jiang Jiu pursed her lips. When she saw the back of the tattooed man's hand being stepped on by Lu Jinxing, she felt an inexplicable pain. Oh, this man had been merciful to her previously, right?

The commotion in the parking lot attracted security guards. A few people were about to approach when they were forced back by Ji Chen's cold gaze. The police car arrived quickly, and no one present could escape.

Not long after, Jiang Jiu came out of the police station and provided her statement according to protocol. There was surveillance in the parking lot, and the evidence was conclusive.

In front of the black car by the roadside, Ji Chen opened the car door. Jiang Jiu was obviously stunned. She didn't expect Lu Jinxing to still be there. She didn't say anything and lowered her head to get into the car.

Her car was smashed and sent for repairs.

When they returned to Ci Garden, the car stopped in front of the small building. Lu Jinxing lowered his head and entered. Jiang Jiu followed him into the living room.

The living room was brightly lit, and the servants stood at the side with their heads lowered. Lu Jinxing stood in front of the sofa, took off his suit jacket, and threw it aside.

"Jiang Jiu."

Lu Jinxing pinched Jiang Jiu's chin and raised her face. "Are you crazy? Fighting a lawsuit for your ex-boyfriend's current girlfriend?"

Ouch.

Jiang Jiu's chin hurt and she frowned. "I'm her representative. This is my job. It has nothing to do with anything else."

"Work?" Lu Jinxing sneered, his handsome face pressed against her eyes. "How much money can you earn from this case? Lawyer Jiang is really broad-minded. You can tolerate anything for money."

"…"

Jiang Jiu choked and couldn't refute. Sensing the man's slightly lowered gaze sweeping back and forth across her chest, his gaze was as hooligan-like as it could be.

She subconsciously turned to the side.

Her original gratitude for his 'righteous deed' was instantly wiped away. Lu Jinxing wasn't helping her at all. He just couldn't bear to see what belonged to him be bullied.

He was a proud and conceited man.

"Third Young Master." Jiang Jiu gently pulled his hand away and said, "I won't forget what I said. I will definitely protect the name of the Lu family's Third Young Madam well."

How could she not? This man was still waiting for her to take the blame.

Without much explanation, Jiang Jiu turned around and went upstairs. She followed the principle of not provoking Lu Jinxing and only wanted to live a peaceful life.

Seeing Jiang Jiu leave, Lu Jinxing's face darkened. This woman didn't know what was good for her. If he hadn't appeared tonight, she might have been beaten until her head was bleeding.

The next morning.

The servants set up the breakfast on time. Jiang Jiu pulled out a chair and sat down. Lu Jinxing hadn't come downstairs for a long time. She looked at the time and could only pick up her chopsticks to eat first.

After a while, Ji Chen took a folder and walked to her side. "Young Madam, this is the repair list of the car."

Ji Chen was extremely fast. Jiang Jiu opened it and saw the price. "So much money?"

Although she did not have to be responsible for the repair fees, she was unwilling to extort others.

"What's the point of repairing that stupid car of hers?"

Lu Jinxing walked downstairs in a suit and leather shoes and said in a deep voice, "Does the Lu family lack a car? Who are you embarrassing by driving that lousy car around every day?"

Jiang Jiu was silent.

The Lu family definitely was not short of cars, but what did it have to do with her? She held the information folder and smiled. She said to Ji Chen, "I'll handle this matter myself. You don't have to worry about it."

When he passed by Lu Jinxing, Jiang Jiu stopped in her tracks and said with a smile, "The car can still be driven after it's repaired. Third Young Master, don't worry."

Worry? Lu Jinxing reprimanded softly. He just didn't want to be embarrassed.

Not long after, Jiang Jiu took a taxi to work and Lu Jinxing went out.

The black car drove out of Ci Garden. Ji Chen held the steering wheel with both hands and looked at the man with his eyes closed in the back seat through the rearview mirror.

"Tell me."

Hearing the man's voice, Ji Chen immediately said, "Lin Yin's mother used to be a servant in the Song family and she knew Song Shaoshi since they were young. Later, she was sent overseas and cut off contact with Song Shaoshi. Not long ago, Lin Yin suddenly returned to the country. Because of her, Song Shaoshi announced that he would annul his engagement to Young Madam. Later, he brought Lin Yin overseas for treatment and the two of them only returned last week. The man who attacked Young Madam last night was Lin Yin's stepbrother and had never had a good relationship with her."

"Ever since the engagement was broken off, Song Shaoshi had no contact with Young Madam. Later on, Young Madam…"

Ji Chen cleverly stopped.

Lu Jinxing slowly opened his eyes, which were as dark as a cold lake. Lin Yin, right? He had underestimated this woman. She couldn't take good care of her man, but she came to provoke his woman? Heh, if he wasn't there when they smashed the car last night, she could teach Jiang Jiu a lesson. If he appeared, she would use him to eliminate the future trouble of fighting for the inheritance.

"You deal with it."

"Yes, Third Young Master," Ji Chen replied. 'Dealing with it' was far from simple.

During the lunch break, Jiang Jiu received a call from home. She took a taxi back to the Jiang family and the servants welcomed her warmly. "Second Miss, you're back."

Jiang Jiu nodded, changed her shoes, and walked in. Shu Hong took the initiative to welcome her. "You haven't had lunch yet, right? I made your favorite dishes in the kitchen."

There was only Jiang Jiu and her mother at the dining table. She frowned slightly and looked unnatural.

"Have you been getting along well with Third Young Master recently?"

Jiang Jiu lowered her eyes and said calmly, "It's alright."

"You've been cold since you were young." Shu Hong picked up a prawn and slowly peeled off the shell. "The Lu family is different from others. They own a big business. You have to know how to please your in-laws and your husband."

As she spoke, she placed the peeled prawn meat into Jiang Jiu's bowl.

Jiang Jiu was stunned. She had liked to eat prawns since she was young, but she didn't like to peel them. The peeled prawn meat in her bowl made her depressed mood over the past few days light up.

"Jiu." Shu Hong sat beside her daughter and smiled. "Your sister is hosting the charity banquet tonight. Our entire family will attend to support her."

Hearing this, Jiang Jiu's expression turned cold. Jiang Ran again?

"Eat more. You've lost weight recently." Shu Hong picked up some food for her as usual and said with concern, "Your father and I only have the two of you. You're both our daughters. We love you both."

Jiang Jiu heaved a long sigh of relief. Perhaps she was really thinking too much. Even if she hid it many times, she still cared about her parents' love.

After lunch, Shu Hong personally sent her daughter out. She handed over a bag containing the banquet gown she had chosen for Jiang Jiu.

When she returned to the law firm, Jiang Jiu was in a good mood. Work went smoothly in the afternoon. When Jiang Xi heard that she was going to attend the charity banquet tonight, she drove to pick her up on time and the two of them attended the banquet together.

The entire clubhouse in the city center would be booked tonight.

Recently, Jiang Xi had been bored at home and looking for fun everywhere. Jiang Jiu rarely attended such events. She followed her good friend into the banquet hall and quickly saw her parents.

"Jiu, why are you here alone?" Jiang Wanming and Shu Hong looked at their daughter, but there was no other figure.

The eagerness in her parents' eyes broke Jiang Jiu's self-deception. What family? It turned out that their target was Lu Jinxing.

There was a commotion at the entrance of the banquet hall. Everyone turned around and saw Lu Jinxing walking over with his female companion.

Jiang Jiu looked up. The woman's face was not unfamiliar. It was the new female celebrity who fled during the banquet last time.
