"What's more, the Gu family is so easy to get into? Their servants all graduated from prestigious universities. With our family's background, do you really think you can get married to the Gu family?"
When Jiang Li said this, Jiang Yan and Jiang Cheng felt relieved.
That’s right too.
Their family is not even famous in the capital.
The head of the Gu family is known to be strict and upright, how could he like their family?
Sure enough, they thought too much.
"Sister, when are we going home? Can we go home today?" Jiang Cheng said pitifully and pulled on Jiang Li's clothes, "I don't want to stay here any longer. The smell of the hospital is too unpleasant."
When he thought that this smelly man paid for this room, he couldn't sleep well!
Jiang Li pondered for a while, "Go back tomorrow, I have something else to do today."
"What's going on?"
"Personal matter."
...
In a rental house in Haicheng.
Ji Yanbai glanced at the dark sky outside and turned it into an ink-colored sea, and the light in his eyes gradually dropped with the red sun.
The cigarette on his fingertips was still burning, and there were crushed cigarette butts around his feet.
It has been two days since I was eliminated.
He had been living in a haze for the past two days. He basically relied on instant noodles for three meals and never left the house.
The table at hand was filled with various trophies he had won in the army, but Ji Yanbai felt that his future was dark.
He pinned all his hopes on that program. Now that his hopes have been dashed, where should he go?
Just when he was at a loss what to do, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Ji Yanbai frowned, walked to the door with a cigarette butt, but did not open the door, but said in a deep voice: "I said that this month's rent will be given to you next week, so don't bother me anymore. I won't bother you either."
It’s no use, I only have ten dollars left with me now, if you want it I’ll give it to you.”
"Ji Yanbai, it's me."
A cold female voice came through the crack in the door, making Ji Yanbai startled.
He slowly opened the door and saw the woman standing at the door.
She wore an apricot-colored long dress, her hair turned into braids hanging down on her chest, and there was a faint smile in her snowy eyebrows.
"long time no see."
"Jiang Li?"
The most unlikely person to appear here appeared. Ji Yanbai was surprised and embarrassed, and was in a panic for a moment.
"why you?"
Jiang Li smiled and said, "Why, you don't want to invite me in to sit down?"
Ji Yanbai was stunned for a few seconds before he realized what he was doing. He hurriedly put out the cigarette and then opened the door.
"Come in, inside-"
He seemed to have just remembered the scene inside, but he could no longer stop him. Jiang Li had already walked to the living room.
It was said to be a living room, but in fact the bed, kitchen and everything else were all squeezed together, and the open space in the middle could only accommodate a table. The top was filled with instant noodle boxes, and there were cigarette butts all around the table legs.
Housing prices in Haicheng are not expensive, but he can't afford to rent even one bedroom and one living room.
Jiang Li, who barged in unexpectedly, was like a soft pear petal falling on this garbage heap, so out of place.
Ji Yanbai's face darkened, he turned around and closed the door.
"I saw the interview, congratulations."
The woman who defeated him and won all his hopes.
"So why did you come here? To mock me so you can continue to attract attention online?"
Jiang Li found the only clean stool, spread a few pieces of paper on it, and then sat down.
She gently folded her hands and put them in front of her knees to hold down the hem of her skirt, looking as elegant as a lady.
"You are overthinking, Mr. Ji. I came to you because I want to cooperate with you."
"What's the meaning?"
Jiang Li took out a stack of documents from his backpack and placed them on the table.
"Let's see."
Ji Yanbai picked up the document suspiciously and glanced at the large bold words on the cover.
——"Bodyguard Agreement".
After just browsing the first few pages, Ji Yanbai probably understood, and his eyes narrowed even more.
Repeated again, "What do you mean?"
Jiang Li looked at him carefully.
After not seeing him for a few days, he was even more shabby than when he was on the island. He was very skinny, his beard and hair were long and messy, and the only thing on his face that still had some energy was his eyes.
If it weren't for the trophies on the desk next to him, it would be hard to tell that he was once an excellent special forces soldier.
"You were born in Haicheng, with the zodiac sign Haiyue, water is strong, and it occupies the celestial position. It is a water tomb, and the tomb means blocking. This means that your native family is not happy, or even broken up. To be more detailed, you
My mother is probably a sanitation worker, and my father doesn’t seem to have a serious job, but he has a lot of bad habits, and he should have committed domestic violence.”
"Your family's wealth was ruined and you probably owed a lot of foreign debt, so you dropped out of high school and became a soldier, right?"
"In order to get rid of this family, you spent a lot of effort in that army and almost risked your life to perform the mission. Therefore, you also received many praises. However, your father was later discovered gambling, so you lost the opportunity for promotion and was also banned.
After you were deported, your mother died of depression not long after. During the Reform Movement of 1898, probably at the beginning of this year, your father was also reported to be in jail, so all the family's debts were placed on you."
"And you, because you have been in the army for many years and can't adapt to the outside society, and you have failed in many jobs, so you thought of going to the wilderness to gamble on survival, right?"
Hearing Jiang Li's words, Ji Yanbai was shocked.
"How do you know? Are you investigating me?"
"I didn't investigate you. I just happened to know your personal information from the program team and used the horoscopes to deduce it." Jiang Li sat there motionless and said, "Mr. Ji, don't forget, I am best at convenience."
It’s these Xuanmen techniques.”
When he was on the island before, he heard that boy Makino say that he originally thought that this woman was just being mysterious, but now it seems that she is really powerful.
No wonder he lost.
Ji Yanbai clenched and loosened his hands, and finally lowered his head, "You said it exactly."
He loved his days as a special forces soldier.
The turmoil outside has nothing to do with him. He only needs to be with the jungle and live in his own thrills every day.
But his father's presence broke all his illusions.
Because of gambling, he owed more than 10 million in foreign debt!
This is an astronomical figure for a poor family like them!
Even if he worked for eight lifetimes, he wouldn't be able to earn so much money.
He will not do anything illegal. This is his training as a soldier that is engraved in his bones.
It was "Survival in the Wilderness" that gave him new hope.
But the woman in front of him also took away all his hope.
He didn't resent Jiang Li, after all, his skills were inferior to others. He only hated himself and his own incompetence.
