On the road.
Chen Jiuyang was also thinking. After being reborn, his interactions with his confidantes were not as smooth as in his previous life, perhaps this was normal.
Last time, after he cultivated pure Yang martial qi, he must have been targeted. Thinking carefully, his several confidantes were almost given away to him, and every time opportunities were arranged. Those who were his enemies also seemed to have flawed thinking, always trying to kill him, forcing him to fight back desperately.
Returning this life, except for Yi Han who he hadn't contacted yet, the remaining confidantes had only expressed one sentiment: if you want to pursue me, you can, I'll give you a chance at most, and I don't reject it.
While this attitude surprised Chen Jiuyang, it also relieved him, as this was how he was supposed to be, not being schemed against.
Speaking of which, he had never been to the Yao family's business premises before.
He wondered what Zi Xuan's office was like.
He arrived at a building, estimated to be fifty or sixty stories high, with the sign "Yao's Investment Group."
The Yao family had been in business for generations, a wealthy and influential local clan with hundreds of billions in assets. He was not surprised by such a scale.
He drove his Mercedes-Benz G-wagon, dressed simply and unassumingly, but his extraordinary aura was hard to conceal. The security guard, seeing a stranger, approached respectfully and asked, "Sir, who are you looking for and what business do you have here?"
Chen Jiuyang pondered and said, "I am the private doctor invited by Old Master Yao Qianhe for Yao Zixuan. I heard she is not feeling well and came to see her. Where is she now?"
The Yao family had produced forty-nine daughters in this generation. Yao Zixuan was the youngest, and also the most outstanding in appearance and talent. She currently held a considerable position in the Yao Group.
The security guard looked at Chen Jiuyang hesitantly, not entirely convinced. "Do you have an appointment?"
Chen Jiuyang smiled and said, "No appointment. You can find your supervisor and call Old Master Yao Qianhe to verify."
"Alright, please wait a moment." The security guard went to report. Not long after, he returned, allowing Chen Jiuyang to pass, and also informed him of Yao Zixuan's floor and office.
Chen Jiuyang was extremely familiar with the Yao family's situation. The Yao family's assets were mostly in real estate and high-profit investments like the Jade City, and they also had extensive connections.
Chen Jiuyang went directly to Yao Zixuan's office. Pushing the door open, he saw Yao Zixuan engrossed in her work.
Upon seeing Chen Jiuyang arrive, a flicker of surprise crossed her eyes. "Why are you here?"
Chen Jiuyang smiled and said, "I invited you to dinner yesterday, but you refused without even meeting me. I had to come see you today."
Yao Zixuan showed a look of guilt and said, "I'm sorry, I was too busy with work and really didn't have time..."
After finishing her work yesterday, she had gone to see her best friend Yun Jingbai and found that her best friend really no longer needed a wheelchair. They then chatted about Chen Jiuyang, and she discovered that her best friend Yun Jingbai seemed to like Chen Jiuyang somewhat.
The Yao family had been schemed against by Xi Butui for so many years and were still able to stand firm without being swallowed up, thanks to Yun Jingbai and Yun Tiancheng. Therefore, Yao Zixuan had rejected Chen Jiuyang's dinner invitation yesterday.
"Heh heh..." Chen Jiuyang smiled and sat down. "It's okay. I know you don't want to be a marriage alliance candidate, which is why you work so hard to prove yourself."
"However, starting today, you don't have to be so busy anymore."
"Your engagement with Qian Sanjin is gone, and I have resolved the troubles of your Yao family."
"The worsening yin energy on your body should also be resolved today."
Yao Zixuan's expression moved, and she bit her lip. "Are you telling the truth?"
Chen Jiuyang smiled and said, "Whether it's true or not, you can verify it yourself in the next two days."
"I have fulfilled my promise."
Yao Zixuan looked at Chen Jiuyang with a complex gaze. "My grandfather said you were willing to help the Yao family specifically for me."
"Yes and no, the situation is a bit more complicated." Chen Jiuyang's bright eyes landed on her extremely beautiful face. "Doesn't this action show my sincerity towards you?"
Being looked at by him like this, Yao Zixuan's heart felt complicated, touched, and a little shy. She bit her red lips tightly:
"I will give you a chance to pursue me."
This sentence was equivalent to a declaration. Caught between her best friend and Chen Jiuyang, it was difficult to choose, but if Chen Jiuyang was truly so good, she was willing to get to know him.
"Hahaha, I've been waiting for you to say that." Chen Jiuyang said with a smile:
"You can't be so busy with work in the future, otherwise, I won't even have time to ask you out for a meal. How can I pursue you then?"
In his previous life, Yao Zixuan wanted to commit suicide and he saved her, and she followed him home directly. It was he who was always busy, and he spent very little time with Yao Zixuan.
Now, it seemed the roles were reversed?
Yao Zixuan's pretty face blushed, and she let out a soft哼. "Humph, you don't need to manage what I do. I know how to arrange my own time."
No matter how mature and talented she was, she was still a girl not yet eighteen years old, and would turn eighteen in three or four months.
Chen Jiuyang smiled and said, "Okay, I will respect you. I came here specifically today to tell you not to spend most of your time on work."
"Zixuan, you are already free and safe."
"I will come to find you again after you confirm your schedule and adjust your state."
Chen Jiuyang could understand how it felt in his previous life when he was busy outside and his female companions waited for him at home.
After saying this, Chen Jiuyang left gracefully.
Currently, the relationship was not official, but there was plenty of time in the future.
Afterward, Chen Jiuyang drove his car towards the public security family residential area, following the address of Ji Lengyue's home from memory.
When he arrived outside the residential area, he sent a message to Ji Lengyue: "Lengyue, are you awake? I'm already outside your residential area..."
"Ah? How do you know which residential area my home is in? Wait for me..." Ji Lengyue replied with some surprise, and then there was no more sound.
Twenty to thirty minutes later, she walked out of her house and saw Chen Jiuyang sitting in the Mercedes-Benz G-wagon parked by the roadside.
Seeing Chen Jiuyang, she felt a little shy. This was clearly a date, and she had never been on a date with anyone in her life, although she was not lacking in beauty and had many admirers.
Among them, she was the only one who wasn't so repulsed by Chen Jiuyang, and today Chen Jiuyang asked her out for a meal using the excuse of repaying a favor.
The fiery and cold, beautiful policewoman was not easily won over.
Ji Lengyue did not sit in the front passenger seat but sat in the back seat, maintaining a certain distance. This action made Chen Jiuyang smile slightly and say:
"Lengyue, I've booked a private room at Fengcheng Grand Hotel. Shall we go eat there?"
"Fengcheng Grand Hotel, that's a five-star hotel... A meal there would cost a month's salary for me..." Ji Lengyue's small mouth parted, her eyes a little dazed.
