Deliberate Possession [Entertainment Industry] - Chapter 91
Chapter 91: The Door Wasn’t Locked
It was a good thing the furniture they bought hadn’t arrived yet. Jiang Yumian canceled all the orders.
She sighed, looking at her phone. “Let’s go back for now. We’ll pack up and move back to the big villa.”
Jing Xiaoyan nodded, fastened her seatbelt, and asked casually, “Are we going back to live with Mom, right?”
Jiang Yumian chuckled at her, annoyed. “If not with Mom, do you expect me to buy a house with a salary of ten thousand a month?”
“We can save up! Little CEO Jiang needs to work hard to support me.”
Jing Xiaoyan started the car, smiling as she painted a grand picture for her. “I believe that in the future, you can earn the amount of money I’ve made all these years from a single project. Then we’ll buy a big villa, a big house, and fly wherever we want to go. Trust me, you can do it. You need to work hard to support your wife.”
Jiang Yumian pointed at her, warning her, “Don’t interrupt my thinking. If you keep painting these pictures, be careful, or I’ll hit you. Drive carefully.”
Jing Xiaoyan snorted softly. “What are you thinking about?”
Jiang Yumian said with a serious expression, “I’m thinking about the disparity between people.”
Why would she suddenly think about that?
Jing Xiaoyan didn’t understand. “What?”
Jiang Yumian asked, “Do you know how much pocket money Yin Xiangyu’s family gives her for her further studies abroad each year?”
Jing Xiaoyan casually scoffed. “Don’t care. Don’t know. Don’t want to know.”
Jiang Yumian didn’t care if she wanted to know or not. She held up four fingers and spoke to herself, “Four hundred million! Four hundred million! I’ve never owned that much money in my life, but my family is the wealthiest…”
That was indeed a significant disparity. Jing Xiaoyan twitched her mouth. “Shut up quickly. My heart is starting to ache.”
Jiang Yumian looked up and sighed. “It’s ridiculous. I make ten thousand a month, and I earn it myself by working. Why is that?”
After saying that, she sat up straight and took out her phone. “I need to ask my mom why exactly.”
Jing Xiaoyan quietly hissed, opened her mouth, and wanted to remind her not to bring humiliation upon herself. Her mother clearly wouldn’t spoil her, but she finally closed her mouth because Jiang Yumian had already sent the message.
As expected, in less than half a minute, Jiang Yumian received a huge “Get lost” from her mother.
Jiang Yumian pouted. “She told me to get lost…”
Jing Xiaoyan chuckled softly, reminding her gently, “You should tell Mom that we’re moving back today first.”
Jiang Yumian let out a weak “Mhm,” tapping on her phone to text her mother. Her eyes flashed, and she started comforting herself again. “Although I don’t have that much money, I always get whatever I want. Thinking about it this way, it seems I’m better off than Yin Xiangyu because my pocket money has no limit. Hehe.”
Jing Xiaoyan cleared her throat, struggling to hold back a laugh. “Mhm. How could you not be?”
Her girlfriend was quite good at comforting herself.
After passing a traffic light, they were almost home. Jing Xiaoyan’s phone notification suddenly sounded. At this time, generally no one would disturb her.
Jing Xiaoyan pursed her lips and turned her head. “Help me check my phone. It’s probably a message from Sister Guan. It should be the termination notice. If it is, help me post it on Weibo.”
Jiang Yumian took the phone. Knowing Jing Xiaoyan’s password, she unlocked it and opened WeChat. It was indeed as Jing Xiaoyan said.
Jiang Yumian looked at her phone and asked, “Sister Guan is asking what happened, why the company suddenly terminated your contract. How should I reply?”
Jing Xiaoyan sighed softly. “Use the voice message feature. I’ll say it.”
Jiang Yumian obediently pressed the button.
“Sorry, Sister Guan. Family reasons. It’s hard to explain in a few words. When you’re free, let’s grab a meal and talk.”
Jiang Yumian released the button, and the voice message was sent immediately. She clicked on the termination statement sent by Sister Guan, checked it once, and saved it after confirming there were no issues.
“The statement looks fine. Should I post it on Weibo?”
Jing Xiaoyan nodded. “Post it.”
Jiang Yumian opened her Weibo. She hesitated a little. “Is this really it?”
Jing Xiaoyan took a deep breath. “Mhm. This is it. It’s already done.”
Jiang Yumian nodded. Indeed, it had to be announced sooner or later.
They arrived home.
Jiang Yumian wanted to pack her things, but she didn’t know where to start.
Jing Xiaoyan sat on the sofa looking at her phone. The Weibo post she made had startled many people. A lot of people were contacting her asking for the reason. She answered several phone calls, busy explaining.
Finally, unable to reply to everyone, she posted an update on her Moments, stating it was for personal reasons, and then turned off her phone.
She tossed her phone aside and sighed, looking up to meet Jiang Yumian’s mournful expression.
Jing Xiaoyan was a little bewildered. She slowly blinked. “Why are you looking at me like that?”
Jiang Yumian kicked off her slippers and stepped onto her leg, saying irritably, “I’m asking you a question! How do we pack our things?”
Before she could retract her foot, her ankle was quickly grabbed.
Jing Xiaoyan pulled her to sit on her lap and said directly, “Leave everything. Just pack your things, and we’ll go.”
Jiang Yumian was stunned. “You’re not taking anything?”
Jing Xiaoyan nodded, wrapping her arms around Jiang Yumian’s waist and pulling her into her embrace. She said shamelessly, “No. It’s too much trouble. I’ll just take the person and wait for you to get me new ones.”
She had already arranged for Xiao Feng to send people to pack up. She didn’t want any of the things here, so they didn’t need to worry about it.
Jiang Yumian pressed down on the hand that was reaching under her clothes. “Behave yourself.”
She quickly added, “You’re not taking anything, right? Then why don’t you take off the clothes you’re wearing too and not bring anything.”
As soon as she said that, Jing Xiaoyan immediately released her and started pulling at her own clothes.
Jiang Yumian’s eyes widened. She quickly pressed down on her hands. “Hey!”
She was actually stripping!
Jing Xiaoyan pulled at the collar of her hoodie, smiling at Jiang Yumian, deliberately saying, “Get up for a second. I can’t take it off with you sitting on me.”
Jiang Yumian lowered her eyelids, thought for two seconds, smiled faintly, and got up from Jing Xiaoyan’s lap. She stood in front of her, arms crossed, looking down at Jing Xiaoyan.
She tilted her chin at her. “Take it off. Hurry up. I’ll watch you take it off.”
She wanted to see who would be more embarrassed.
Jing Xiaoyan’s fingers froze. She blinked.
Seeing her stop, Jiang Yumian had a victorious smile on her face. She raised her eyebrows and asked, “Take it off. Why did you stop?”
Jing Xiaoyan gritted her teeth, trying hard to maintain a smile. Being stared at while taking off her clothes, she really couldn’t bring herself to do it.
She stood up next to Jiang Yumian, wrapped her arm around Jiang Yumian, who was about to step back, and before she could struggle, she leaned into her ear and said deliberately, “You want to see me take off my clothes so much, why don’t you help me?”
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Yumian’s hand was grabbed by hers.
Her earlobe was enveloped by her lips, the warm tip of her tongue lightly licking it. Jiang Yumian closed her eyes, her whole body going numb. After her ear was released, the kiss trailed down her jaw, and her head quickly buried itself in her neck for a deep kiss.
Jiang Yumian couldn’t help but get carried away. She took a deep breath, broke free of her grasp, pushed hard, and directly pushed Jing Xiaoyan onto the sofa.
“I’m going to pack.” Jiang Yumian first glared at her, then dropped that sentence and fled in a panic.
Jing Xiaoyan sat up from the sofa, laughing. She glanced at the clothes she was wearing, and quickly followed her into the room.
Jiang Yumian was packing the suitcase she brought, and just as she put a set of clothes in, Jing Xiaoyan quickly took it out.
Jiang Yumian slapped her hand. “Are you doing this on purpose to mess with me?”
Jing Xiaoyan snorted softly. “Isn’t this the outfit you brought me? I’m changing clothes.”
She then turned her back to Jiang Yumian and started taking off her clothes.
Jiang Yumian: “…”
After packing their things, Jiang Yumian called a driver to pick them up.
It was exactly lunchtime when they arrived home.
At the dining table, Jing Xiaoyan sat opposite Jiang Yumian’s mother and aunt. It was the first time they were having a meal together like this, and Jing Xiaoyan was actually quite nervous. She sat next to Jiang Yumian, eating quietly.
Jiang Yumian felt no pressure at all. She glanced at her aunt. She had been so busy dating Jing Xiaoyan these past few days that she forgot to check on her aunt.
She collected her thoughts and asked with a smile, “Aunt, did Mom give you back your phone?”
Her aunt blinked, nodding. “She did.”
She then looked aggrieved. “But she won’t let me go out.”
After saying that, she secretly glanced at Jiang Jinyu, who was serving Jing Xiaoyan food. Hearing her snort softly, Jiang Yufeng’s shoulders immediately slumped.
Jiang Yumian looked at Jing Xiaoyan’s bowl and quickly said to her mother, “Mom, just let Aunt go out. She’s already…”
Before Jiang Yumian could say the word “divorced,” her mother glared at her.
Her mother snorted, giving the classic, old-fashioned reply, “Kids shouldn’t meddle in adult affairs.”
Jing Xiaoyan quickly put a piece of food into Jiang Yumian’s bowl, reminding her, “Eat quickly.”
Jiang Yumian gave her aunt a look that said, there’s nothing I can do to help. She quickly lowered her head to eat, but still mumbled softly under her breath, “What kind of child doesn’t even have pocket money…”
This seemed to remind her mother. “I heard about what happened today.”
Jing Xiaoyan was stunned. She looked up. It just happened, and her mother already knew. How well-informed was she?
Before she could react, a bank card was placed in front of her. Her mother smiled. “Well done. We don’t need his company.”
She then tapped the card and added, “Consider this the ‘change of address’ fee from last time. The password is your birthday.”
Jing Xiaoyan stared blankly at the card on the table. She opened her mouth but couldn’t say a word.
Jiang Yumian reacted faster than her. She reached out and grabbed the card, her eyes lighting up as she stared at it. “Mom! How much is in here?”
Just as she was about to put the card in her pocket, her mother glared at her and said directly, “Put the card down. Give it to Xiaoyan.”
Jiang Yumian was about to complain about the unfairness, but hearing it was for Jing Xiaoyan, she quickly shut up. She was afraid that if she spoke again, Jing Xiaoyan wouldn’t even get this card.
She turned her head, looking at Jing Xiaoyan’s pocket, and quickly stuffed it in. She then patted it, smiling broadly. What was Jing Xiaoyan’s was hers.
Jing Xiaoyan didn’t even have a chance to refuse, and she felt it would be impolite to do so, considering that this amount of money was nothing to her mother.
She smiled, her voice slightly stiff. “Thank you, Mom.”
Her mother nodded slightly, then looked at Jiang Yumian and suddenly warned, “Keep a close eye on this money, don’t let Mianmian waste it. When she was in first grade of elementary school, a teacher was worried about buying a house. She overheard it, took the card I gave her, and demanded the butler uncle take her to buy cars and houses for every teacher, especially the one she called the most beautiful, saying she wanted to give her many gifts. In less than a month, half of her pocket money was gone. She terrified the school teachers, and the principal eventually had to contact me. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have known she was giving gifts to the teachers at school.”
Her aunt, who was listening to the gossip, laughed unkindly. She knew about this.
Her aunt quickly chimed in, “I know about this. I was at home then, and I even went to watch the excitement.”
Jing Xiaoyan turned to look at Jiang Yumian, unable to help but say, “You were quite enthusiastic.”
Jiang Yumian raised her eyebrows guiltily, pouted, and lowered her head, poking at her bowl. This incident caused a sensation throughout the school. She remembered it, especially since her mother often brought it up.
No wonder she didn’t have any pocket money left. Seeing her expression, Jing Xiaoyan realized she knew the reason herself. She smiled and reached out, wanting to pinch her cheek, but remembering the elders were present, her hand froze. She rubbed the top of Jiang Yumian’s head and quickly withdrew her hand.
She cleared her throat. “Then I definitely can’t give it to you.”
She absolutely couldn’t let her take the money to buy gifts for other pretty girls.
Seeing the interaction between them, her mother smiled at Jing Xiaoyan and said, “After you two get married, all the money in the family will be yours.”
She paused for two seconds before adding, “Not for Mianmian.”
Jing Xiaoyan smiled and said okay, quickly getting scratched on the waist by Jiang Yumian.
Daring not to argue with her mother, Jiang Yumian scratched Jing Xiaoyan in frustration. “Everyone’s bullying me!”
The atmosphere was instantly lightened by Jiang Yumian’s fuss. Jing Xiaoyan grabbed her hand, smiling as she dodged her. “Alright! Eat quickly!”
They had a very enjoyable meal. At least, for Jing Xiaoyan, it was very enjoyable.
Back in the room upstairs, Jiang Yumian felt for the bank card in her pocket. Jing Xiaoyan watched her quietly, not thinking of taking it back.
Jiang Yumian secretly looked at her, and seeing her smiling at her, she quickly stopped hiding and smiled at the bank card.
“Hahaha, it’s for you. It must be a lot of money.”
Just a few hours ago, she was worrying about being broke, and now she suddenly became a rich woman. Jiang Yumian couldn’t suppress the smile on her face.
She held up the bank card and lay down on the bed. “How much money do you think is in here?”
Jing Xiaoyan knelt on the bed, leaning over Jiang Yumian, smiling. “I don’t know, but there’s enough money to buy new clothes for me. Shouldn’t you be picking out new clothes for your girlfriend?”
Otherwise, she would have nothing to wear.
Jiang Yumian reached out to hug her. Jing Xiaoyan’s head quickly buried itself beside her face for a kiss. Since they were at home, Jiang Yumian’s heart jumped a little. Remembering the unlocked door, she quickly said, “Get up quickly. I have a lot of clothes in my walk-in closet. You can go pick out a few outfits to wear first.”
Their sizes were about the same anyway.
Seeing Jing Xiaoyan not moving, still hugging and kissing her, Jiang Yumian sighed, trying to steady her voice. “The door isn’t locked…”
As soon as those four words left her mouth, the person in her arms instantly got up.
Jing Xiaoyan looked back cautiously.
Jiang Yumian also quickly sat up, unable to help but laugh at her. “I thought you were so bold.”
Jing Xiaoyan glared at her resentfully, snorted, and walked towards Jiang Yumian’s walk-in closet. “I’m going to see how many clothes you actually have.”
Jiang Yumian tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, wanting to show off that she had countless clothes and could surely dazzle her, but her hand suddenly froze. She suddenly remembered what she had hidden inside and was instantly too shocked to speak.
As Jing Xiaoyan pushed the door open, Jiang Yumian quickly darted in front of her.
“You can’t go in!”
Under Jing Xiaoyan’s bewildered gaze, Jiang Yumian hurriedly pulled the door shut.
Seeing her action, Jing Xiaoyan crossed her arms, staring intently at her.
Jiang Yumian blocked the door, smiling ingratiatingly. “I’ll buy you new ones. I’ll pick them out for you. The ones inside are all old after I’ve worn them. It wouldn’t be nice to give them to you.”
“Then what should I do? I just want to wear the ones you’ve worn.” Jing Xiaoyan leaned closer, pressing her face against Jiang Yumian’s, deliberately bumping her forehead with hers.
Jiang Yumian smiled through gritted teeth. “Then I’ll pick them out for you. I’ll put a few outfits together for you. You go take a nap first.”
Although she knew she couldn’t avoid it, she still wanted to struggle.
Jing Xiaoyan bumped her again and asked directly, “Are you hiding something scandalous in there?”
She then asked, “Can I not go in?”
Jiang Yumian pulled at the corner of her mouth, smiling. “No.”
“No, huh~” Dragging out the final sound, Jing Xiaoyan smiled, reaching out to push the door. “Are you perhaps hiding a person?”
Provoked by her smug look, Jiang Yumian twitched her mouth and gave up. “Something like that.”
Jing Xiaoyan’s eyes flashed. She wrapped her arms around Jiang Yumian’s waist and suddenly turned her, hugging her. “Then I must see who you’re hiding.”
Being pulled away by Jing Xiaoyan, Jiang Yumian closed her eyes. She steeled her heart and stopped trying to stop her.
Watching Jing Xiaoyan push the door open and walk in, Jiang Yumian covered her face. She was so embarrassed. She secretly gritted her teeth and simply closed the door.
She wanted to go in? Then let her stay with those two human-sized cutouts!
