Jiaojiao, You Don't Want To... [Yandere Reverse Harem Novel]

Chapter 28 (1/2)

“In short, don’t speak later, got it?”

“Okay, when are you coming? I think I saw Jiang Linchen's car entering the complex.”

Wen Zhijiao leaned against the glass, looking down at the scene below the apartment building, asking into the phone.

“I’m almost there, don’t worry, I won’t let him take you away.” Pei Ye’s voice was very confident, even with a hint of reassurance, “I’m Yuancheng’s friend, trust me, don’t be afraid.”

Wen Zhijiao felt that Pei Ye didn’t seem as fierce as she remembered, but his attitude seemed too good. She subconsciously pressed her fingers against the glass, smearing it, and whispered, “I trust you, but… won’t this be tiring for you?”

After a long silence, Pei Ye’s voice had a hint of nasal congestion, but his tone was still relaxed, “It’s a piece of cake, why are you worrying so much? If I was tired, wouldn’t I just ignore you?”

“Ah, he seems to be…”

“Don’t say it, I’m almost there.”

Before she could finish her sentence, he hung up abruptly, a series of beeps echoing in her ears.

Wen Zhijiao saw a black car slowly driving towards the apartment through the glass. She hurriedly got up and put on a jacket, feeling a little doubtful. But the person was already downstairs, and Pei Ye was nowhere to be seen, was he lying? She also liked to say that she was almost there when she was lying.

The car got closer and closer, and soon, it stopped in front of the apartment building.

Jiang Linchen was about to open the car door, but he saw a stylish sports car in the rearview mirror, also braking sharply and crossing his car, stopping in front of him.

Just looking at this showy maneuver and the sports car, Jiang Linchen could guess who the owner was without thinking. A few seconds later, the car door opened, and a young man with white hair suddenly popped out, looking fierce, confirming his guess—Pei Ye.

Jiang Linchen couldn’t help but laugh again. It seemed she had realized and found a helper.

Although this helper was limited in ability.

Jiang Linchen saw Wen Zhijiao opening the door, looking back and forth at the two cars, her curly hair with a few loose strands, wearing a nightgown with only a jacket over it. The wind blew, and the loose robe swayed, vaguely outlining the contours of her body.

Pei Ye obviously noticed, he immediately turned his face and glared fiercely at him through the front window, then walked to Wen Zhijiao, grabbed her jacket, and pulled the zipper all the way up to her neck. When he turned around again, she had become a straight tube, but she was tilting her head and saying something.

“You, don’t interfere, just stay put, I’ll go chase him away.”

Pei Ye’s hand rested on Wen Zhijiao’s shoulder, he leaned down and stared at her, shaking his hand, “Did you hear me?”

“Oh, I heard it, I heard it!” Wen Zhijiao was a little annoyed by his shaking, she couldn’t help but raise her voice, but she saw a hint of surprise in Pei Ye’s eyes. She immediately turned her head away and lowered her voice, “Go talk to him, I won’t go near.”

But Pei Ye seemed to have just realized, he also turned his head, bit his lip and smiled, “You’re quite spirited, aren’t you?”

Wen Zhijiao’s eyebrows furrowed, she didn’t understand, but Pei Ye had already turned and walked towards Jiang Linchen’s car.

Jiang Linchen’s hand was on the steering wheel, a smile still on his lips, he didn’t get out of the car, he lowered the window with a calm demeanor, “What are you doing here?”

As soon as he spoke, Pei Ye’s gaze immediately turned towards him. He walked over in a few steps, reached out and grabbed Jiang Linchen’s collar, his eyes fierce, “I know what you’re thinking, get out of here.”

“Don’t, don’t, don’t fight!”

Wen Zhijiao shouted anxiously.

Jiang Linchen looked over, but saw her still standing a few steps away, looking quite afraid that they would fight and involve her. She noticed his gaze, and as if she didn’t think anything was wrong, she said, “Sorry, I have something to deal with with Pei Ye today, I probably won’t be able to go to work today. And you guys, let go of each other, don’t fight.”

“Oh, don’t do that, let go!”

Wen Zhijiao’s beautiful face had a sincere look, her watery eyes were wide open, she was trying hard to play the helpless role. But her slightly joyful tone and what she said revealed her little pride.

Jiang Linchen didn’t know why, but he wanted to laugh, but Pei Ye immediately pulled his collar tightly, frowning, and said coldly, “I’m too lazy to talk to you, drive your broken car back to your company.”

Jiang Linchen’s hand tightened around his arm, he looked quite innocent, “What have I done wrong? It’s her first day at work, I came to pick her up personally, that’s already a conscientious boss, isn’t it?”

“You want me to pull open the car door and drag you out to beat you up, right?” Pei Ye’s eyes revealed a hint of gloom, his voice lowered, as if he was afraid of being heard by Wen Zhijiao a few steps away, “Your brother is still unconscious, you’re already eager? That’s not how you do things.”

Jiang Linchen’s grip on his wrist tightened, he saw a shallow cut on Pei Ye’s chin, his gaze swept to his collar, and he saw some faint white marks.

Pei Ye was angered by this scrutinizing gaze, his other hand had already grasped the car door handle, wanting to drag him out.

But the next second, Jiang Linchen smiled faintly, “Pei Ye, you… like Wen Zhijiao? Love Wen Zhijiao? To what extent?”

Pei Ye’s eyebrows twitched, he swung his fist, “Damn it, none of your business? I just can’t stand you, okay?”

“That’s not how you talk.” Jiang Linchen grabbed his fist, his voice was very soft, “The cut on your face is from shaving, right? The marks on your collar are from shaving cream or toothpaste? You rushed out, drove here, just because you can’t stand me? Pei Ye, has no one ever told you that you’re always talking nonsense?”

He raised his hand and grabbed Pei Ye’s black hair, dragging him hard into the car window. For a moment, the distance between them was narrowed, even through his glasses, they could feel the hostility in each other’s eyes.

Pei Ye’s eyelids twitched, his pupils contracted, his sharp teeth pressed against his lips, but he smiled, “Yes, I like talking nonsense, and I like doing stupid things, but at least I’m happy. Unlike some people, they’re destined to be the Jiang family, treated like toys and puppets by their parents, letting you go wherever they want…”

“If you want to hurt me, you might as well just call me a virgin who’s unloved, don’t use the pain of my childhood. I’m twenty-five, I don’t have that kind of fragile, detached feeling like Dionysus.” Jiang Linchen laughed, the black eyes behind his glasses had a hint of tolerance, “I’ve been through a lot, I don’t have that kind of fragile, detached feeling like Dionysus.”

Pei Ye was completely angered by his teasing attitude, his breathing became heavy, but the next second, Jiang Linchen let go of his hand. He frowned, and saw Jiang Linchen take a phone from the passenger seat, shaking it at him. He saw three words clearly on the recording.

“I just sent the recording to your mom, badbadboy, you wouldn’t want your mom to have a parent-teacher conference, would you?” Jiang Linchen’s eyes behind his glasses had a hint of mockery, but his tone became more relaxed, “My mom knows and approves of me snatching my brother’s fiancée, but your mom might not. Now Yuancheng is in a coma, your mom might have to take you to apologize to me.”

“You!” Pei Ye swung his fist again, Jiang Linchen didn’t dodge this time, and a bruise quickly appeared on his corner of his mouth. But he still maintained a calm and composed attitude, staring at Pei Ye. The attacker’s face turned green, and hatred slowly brewed, born from confusion and being looked down upon.

“You really want to know what happened, don’t you?” Jiang Linchen smiled and said, “Then go back, don’t bother me, you’re not even qualified to compete with Jiang Yuancheng, let alone me. Little kid.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Ye felt his phone vibrate in his pocket.

Pei Ye let go of his hand, clutching the car window tightly, his handsome and unruly face now had a kind of icy coldness from being stung.

He said, “Don’t get too cocky, who knows if you’ll have a sudden misfortune.”

Jiang Linchen watched his expression change with interest, he felt that life was becoming more and more interesting.

When he was a child, he wasn’t allowed to read too many extracurricular books, or play games, he was mostly locked up, and his only pleasure was looking at the stars. But even then, there would be personal attendants reminding him, “Young Master, it’s time to sleep,” “It’s time for your lessons,” “It’s time to go back to your room…” An orderly life makes people self-disciplined and knowledgeable, but it also makes people yearn for chaos.

He changed his major and research direction several times, and exchanged schools many times… He deliberately created chaos, self-inflicted abuse and exploitation was too boring, because he could quickly turn chaos into order, the entropy reduction of life was effortless.

But for some people, the effortless direction might be entropy increase.

Jiang Linchen looked at Wen Zhijiao, she was being a very obedient backdrop, occasionally making a few powerless attempts to stop them, and then looking at her phone. When Pei Ye walked towards her, she only showed a surprised expression.

“Wh- what’s wrong?” Wen Zhijiao hid her phone in her sleeve, looking at Pei Ye with a pale face, she was a little apprehensive, “You don’t look so good.”

She only played a few rounds of match-three, why did she feel like something was wrong? Did Pei Ye discover that he had been misled by her?

Wen Zhijiao’s heart skipped a beat, but she saw Pei Ye’s hand press down on her head, pushing it down, and said, “Sorry.”

Pei Ye said again, “I have something to go back to.”

Wen Zhijiao looked behind him, but saw Jiang Linchen had already gotten out of the car, standing beside the car, smiling gently at her, but there was a bruise on his corner of his mouth.

Ah, how could this be, Jiang Linchen defeated Pei Ye?!

How could an honest man drive away a hooligan, this is a reversal of the natural order!

Wen Zhijiao instinctively felt something was wrong, she was about to ask Pei Ye a few more questions, but she saw Pei Ye looking down at her, his voice a little hoarse, “Sorry, I can’t help you teach him a lesson now, wait a few days, I’ll come back to help you after I’ve taken care of my business, okay?”

Under Pei Ye’s white hair, there was a kind of determination in his eyes, at this moment, even his sharp teeth that she used to be a little afraid of seemed harmless. Because he looked a little guilty now, and a little pitiful.

Wen Zhijiao just reached out and patted his hand, “It’s okay, you’ve already taught him a lesson.”

Pei Ye raised his eyebrows, “Just punching him once doesn’t count as a lesson.”

He leaned down, getting a little closer, and whispered, “This guy, he’s bad, you can’t teach him a lesson with just one punch. Stay away from this kind of person. I’ll come back to help you after I’ve taken care of things in a couple of days.”

Wen Zhijiao felt that his promise was a little uncertain, but she thought that since he drove all the way here and punched Jiang Linchen, he was also worth encouraging. So she just nodded, and finally asked a question that had puzzled her for many years, she said, “Pei Ye, why are your teeth so sharp? Is it natural?”

The next second, she saw Pei Ye’s ears turn red, and then the redness spread to his face. He didn’t smile anymore, he immediately pursed his lips, she could vaguely feel him secretly licking his sharp teeth with his tongue.

For a few seconds, Pei Ye tilted his head, Wen Zhijiao could only see a string of sparkling earrings on his ear, and a circle of tattoos behind his ear. He was stiff, showing a bit of coldness, but his voice was muffled, “I ate too much candy at night, my teeth grew crooked.”

Wen Zhijiao: “…Ah.”

She couldn’t help but lick her own teeth with her tongue. What should she do, she didn’t seem to eat much less, wouldn’t she also become crooked?

Pei Ye noticed her pursed lips, he immediately realized what she was doing, he laughed and patted her head. He said, “It’s okay, that was a long time ago, and your bite wasn’t very good when you bit Jiang… people, right?”

He subconsciously avoided Jiang Yuancheng’s name, turned and walked away. As he passed by Jiang Linchen, his expression gradually turned cold.

Jiang Linchen raised his eyebrows, watching him drive away, he had a sense of satisfaction from successfully driving away an enemy, so he smiled even wider. He walked to Wen Zhijiao, glanced at his watch, “Go upstairs and wash up, change your clothes, it’s still early to go to the company.”

He was calm as if nothing had happened, Wen Zhijiao felt even more strange, she was a little scared. A few seconds later, she quickly turned and ran upstairs to change clothes and wash up, her mind full of danger.

Something’s wrong, Jiang Linchen is really not right.

Pei Ye was right, this guy has a problem, maybe he really wants to scheme and bully her!

Just get through today, say that she really can’t adapt at the end of the day, that seems more reasonable!

Wen Zhijiao went downstairs with her whole body tense, got into Jiang Linchen’s car, and kept observing her surroundings, clutching her phone. Jiang Linchen, however, acted as if nothing had happened, chatting with her from time to time, never mentioning what happened just now.

When they arrived at the foot of a very grand office building, Wen Zhijiao finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then he led her all the way upstairs. They walked through a long corridor, past countless offices and departments, people kept coming out of offices to greet Jiang Linchen and report to him, the team gradually expanded, and the reports came one after another.

Wen Zhijiao only felt that she and Jiang Linchen were playing a real-life version of Snake or Agar.io, she forced herself to hold her head high, only regretting that she hadn’t bought a folder to hold in her chest.

Finally, when they reached the president’s office, those inexplicable people who joined the team had all dispersed, or gone to the nearby secretary’s office.

Wen Zhijiao finally said, “Uh, Jiang Linchen, no, President Jiang, where’s my workstation?”

Jiang Linchen said, “Just follow me.”
