"I, I'm actually not Mr. Jiang's girlfriend, just a friend," Lin Bingbing quickly explained. Although she wished to hold that title, she knew it couldn't be taken lightly.
"Sister Bingbing, do you have a crush on Mr. Jiang?" Shi Ning, being clever, immediately understood the implication.
Lin Bingbing felt a bit embarrassed but nodded nonetheless.
"Well, Mr. Jiang treats you quite well, Sister Bingbing. He's someone I admire greatly, so we can definitely be good friends from now on," Shi Ning said with a smile. Since Lin Bingbing and Jiang Chen shared a special bond, it was only natural for her to want to befriend Lin Bingbing.
"As long as Miss Shi doesn't mind, we can be good friends," Lin Bingbing replied with a slight smile.
"It should be you who doesn't mind me, Sister Bingbing," Shi Ning laughed.
As for Shi Xindi, she didn't dare to speak to Lin Bingbing anymore.
Lin Bingbing's family watched in shock as Shi Ning and Lin Bingbing joked with each other like close friends. Their astonishment had yet to subside. In less than half an hour, the events that unfolded had completely shattered their worldview. The Shyr family held Jiang Chen in the same regard as a Demon God.
"Bingbing, come here for a moment; I need to talk to you," Mother Lin beckoned, signaling for Lin Bingbing to step aside.
"Mom, just say what you need to say; there's no need to beat around the bush," Lin Bingbing replied coolly.
"Well, if you want to marry Mr. Jiang, our family has no objections. Since Mr. Jiang is so remarkable, could you possibly borrow some money from him to help your brother pay off his debts?" Mother Lin said.
Upon hearing this, Lin Bingbing fell silent and only let out a cold laugh because she had nothing more to say.
"Please, Bingbing, you can't just stand by and do nothing! I'm your brother! If I don't have the money to pay them back this month, they won't let me off the hook," Lin Bingbing’s elder brother pleaded desperately.
"Yes, Bingbing, after all, he is your big brother. Just help him this once; I promise it will be the last time," Mother Lin added.
Lin Bingbing continued to scoff.
"Mom, how many times have I helped my brother? Don't you keep track? Fifty million is not a small amount! I only have tens of thousands on me right now. Why don't you pay back the Shyr family's money first and then sell the house, car, and everything valuable in our home? If that's still not enough, there's nothing more I can do," Lin Bingbing said, her eyes filled with disappointment.
"Sister Bingbing, we don't need to return the betrothal gifts from our family," Shi Ning interjected.
"It must be returned," Lin Bingbing insisted; after all, those were betrothal gifts she could not accept.
"Alright then." Seeing Lin Bingbing's resolute stance, Shi Ning could only nod in agreement and say no more.
At the Shyr Family Villa, Shi Shengguang dropped Jiang Chen off at home before returning to the hotel to entertain guests. He needed to find a way to quell some of the rumors circulating that night.
In the tea room, Shyr Family Ancestor Shi Gaofeng had already prepared tea and was waiting for Jiang Chen. At that moment, it was just Shi Gaofeng and Jiang Chen together.
"Shi Lao, I missed your message while I was in seclusion. I only saw it a few days ago when I came out and came here today; I hope you won't hold it against me," Jiang Chen said politely with a smile.
“Mr. Jiang, you truly have me at a loss. I wouldn’t dare to blame you. As for the whereabouts of the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings, I do have some insights,” Shi Gaofeng said as he poured a cup of tea for Jiang Chen, adopting a very humble demeanor in front of him.
“Insights, you say? Please, do share,” Jiang Chen replied, taking a sip of his tea.
