The Passerby I Married Is The Richest Man! [Transmigration Into A Book]

Chapter 18 Part 2: Yes, I Do

After a short exchange of greetings, Jiang Muyang gave some excuse and went quietly to a corner.

Jiang Muyu followed him, took his hand, and asked: "Brother, what's wrong?"

Jiang Muyang couldn't help turning to take a glimpse of Bai Zhen Zhen then said: "Nothing, I just didn't expect that when we met again, there would already be another man beside her..."

A trace of jealousy flashed through Jiang Muyu's eyes.

"I don't think that Miss Bai is anything good, her looks are also just like that." Jiang Muyu said, "And her boyfriend, he's also not a proper man, and what about being the CEO and the chairman of a listed company, that's slapping one's face to make it look imposing from swelling."

And then still added another sentence: "Birds of a feather flock together, they indeed are a perfect match."

"Muyu, you don't know her." Jiang Muyang paused, and the corner of his mouth rose in a gentle arc, "she's the best girl I have ever met."

Jiang Muyu had to repeatedly control her expression. She forced a smile on her face, and strengthened her hold on her brother's hand a bit.

"I don't want to know her! Anyway ah, she doesn't deserve my brother!" Jiang Muyu pretended to act spoiled and embraced her brother's arm, "brother, the world is so big, there are so many lovely girls, don't think about her anymore, ok?"

Jiang Muyang's eyes were covered by a layer of distress.

"Yes ah, the world is so big..." With a sorrowful sigh, he looked once again towards that direction, but I have finally come back here, and seeing her for just a moment, it's as if she is a completely different person..."

Jiang Muyu's face completely changed at that moment. She couldn't come up with anything to say.

She looked at her brother's expression and for a moment she felt stifled and despair.

"Maybe there will be a day I can forget her." Jiang Muyang laughed with self-deprecation, and took his gaze back from Bai Zhen Zhen.

Seeing Jiang Muyu's cold expression, he reached out and pinched her nose: "What's with that blank look! Still talking about your brother when your age is not so small anymore, you should also try to look for a boyfriend!"

Jiang Muyu came back to her senses and showed a bright and innocent smile: "I don't want to find a boyfriend, I will follow my brother all my life!"

"You ah you! It really is like mother says, one clingy child!"

With Jiang Muyang again in a good mood, Jiang Muyu swayed her arms spoiledly, but when she looked down for a moment, she threw a fierce look towards Bai Zhen Zhen.

At the side, Bai Zhen Zhen didn't notice in the slightest the hostility emanating from a certain direction. She was still leisurely listening to Huo Xiang talking big.

"Zhen Zhen, I promise you, if I ever become the richest man, you will become the richest madam." Huo Xiang said seriously.

Bai Zhen Zhen pretended to be moved: "Thank you for remembering me at that time."

"Of course!" Huo Xiang gave her a resolute look, "as they say, don't forget your friends when you become rich."

Bai Zhen Zhen finally couldn't endure it anymore. She squeezed out a smile uglier than crying: "Please, it's broad daylight, stop daydreaming."

Huo Xiang: "......"

As the two were talking, a pair of well-dressed beautiful girls approached them swaying their waists.

One of them suddenly stumbled by herself, and the wine glass she was holding fell to the side. The red wine inside just happened to splash on Bai Zhen Zhen's dress.

"Oh, I'm so sorry!" The perpetrator cried out in alarm.

Bai Zhen Zhen subconsciously looked at the woman. Although the woman had said "sorry", there was not a trace of surprise or guilt in her face, it was clearly intentional.
