Chapter 1049: Chapter 1049

“Yes, wait. What we need to compete now is patience. We just need to wait for Kang Jie to make a move.” Chen Meng’er was not anxious at all. It seemed that she did not care about Kang Jie at all. Chen Meng’er originally did not want to say too much, but when she saw Zhou Yunjie’s full of worries, she could not help but say, “Alright, Yunjie, is there a need to be so tense?” She is just one person. What kind of tricks can she come up with? At most, she can only drive a wedge between us and Yunbo. What else can she come up with? Don’t be too nervous. If you’re still worried, get someone to keep a close watch on Kang Jie.”

“Yes, I’ll go down and instruct someone.” Zhou Yunjie felt that only by having more people by Kang Jie’s side and keeping a close watch on her could he feel more at ease. Otherwise, he would always feel uncertain.

“Okay, you go ahead. While you’re at it, get someone to send a message to Yunbo. Tell him that his partner is here and is currently staying at the Green Gang. Tell him to rest assured that we will take good care of his partner.” Chen Meng’er specially instructed, “You must tell him the last part.”

“Got it.” Zhou Yunjie did not really want his younger brother to know that Kang Jie had arrived. He really wanted to take care of Kang Jie swiftly. He didn’t believe that a romantic partner could compare to the relationship between the two of them, which had lasted for so many years.

However, Chen Meng’er’s orders were already there, so he couldn’t disobey.

Chen Meng’er felt that Kang Jie’s sudden return to the country and arrival to the Green Gang to look for Zhou Yunbo was a bit strange. She was sure that Kang Jie’s trip was definitely under the instructions of the elders from the Yamaguchi-gumi. She wanted to see the purpose of Kang Jie’s trip. She also wanted to see what those old guys from the Yamaguchi-gumi wanted to do.

“Meng’er, I heard from Zhuge that Yunbo’s girlfriend is here?” Zhuge Yu and the others had been idling in the Green Gang recently. Thus, they had started to gossip.

“Yes. She just arrived yesterday. I arranged for her to be in the guest room.” Chen Meng’er was not surprised that Zhuge Yu and the others would know about Kang Jie’s arrival. She had never intended to hide this.

“Hey, I’m really old. Yunbo already has a partner. How is Yunbo’s partner?” Elder Liu was not hiding anything now that he was gossiping.

Just as Chen Meng’er and Elder Liu were talking, she arrived.

“Hello, I’m not really used to eating alone, so can I eat with you?” Before Chen Meng’er could answer Elder Liu’s question, the person they were talking about arrived.

“Ahem, Grandpa, it’s her. Take a look for yourself.” Chen Meng’er coughed slightly and deliberately lowered her voice as she said to Elder Liu. After she finished speaking, she raised her head and said to Kang Jie, “Of course I don’t mind. Hey, help Miss Kang bring a set of cutlery over.”

“You must be Yunbo’s partner. Come, come, quickly sit down.” Elder Liu’s gaze was unfathomable. With just a glance, he could tell that this girl’s thoughts were impure. His impression of Kang Jie immediately fell to the bottom. However, he felt that Chen Meng’er was planning something. Thus, he had to show her some respect.

Although he was very unhappy with Kang Jie, he did not show it on his face.

“Thank you, Elder Liu.” Kang Jie thought that he had a good impression of her. Because based on her understanding of Elder Liu, he was a serious person. For him to smile at her, it was clear that Elder Liu was satisfied with her.

Kang Jie did not know that because of Chen Meng’er, Elder Liu often smiled when he was at home. If Elder Liu knew what she was thinking, he would definitely say that she was overestimating herself. “Elder Liu, you are just like my grandfather. Can I call you Grandpa Liu?” Kang Jie’s butt had not even warmed up on the seat, yet she was already trying to get close to Elder Liu.

However, she was destined to hit a wall. “Haha, this is the first time I’ve heard someone say that I’m just like their grandfather. Little girl, I’m not like your grandfather, so it’s not good for you to call me Grandpa Liu. Otherwise, my little girl will be jealous and angry.”

This made Kang Jie feel a little embarrassed. “Grandpa Liu, are you saying that Meng’er will be jealous?”

“Yes, my little girl is very jealous.” When Elder Liu mentioned Chen Meng’er, the adoring tone in his voice could not be concealed.

“Meng’er, it’s just a form of address. You can’t be so stingy, right?” Since it was Chen Meng’er who cared, then Kang Jie wanted it even more.

“Of course I mind. I’ve never been a generous person. Also, Miss Kang, we’re not that close. Please call me Miss Chen.” Although Chen Meng’er asked Kang Jie to stay, she never agreed to becoming friends with her.

Kang Jie still had something to say. However, Chen Meng’er announced that they were going to start eating.

She was unhappy, but this was Chen Meng’er’s territory after all.

After having breakfast with Elder Liu and Chen Meng’er, Kang Jie, who had suffered a setback, hurriedly left. Chen Meng’er guessed that she was going back to her room to adjust her state of mind and prepare for her next step.

After Kang Jie left, Elder Liu couldn’t hold it in anymore. “Girl, is this Yunbo’s partner?”

“Yes.” Chen Meng’er leisurely drank a cup of tea.

“No, what kind of taste does Yunbo have? Why did he find such a partner?” After just one meal, Elder Liu didn’t like Kang Jie at all. He just couldn’t understand why Zhou Yunbo would fancy such a piece of trash.

“Grandpa, don’t say that. Everyone has their own love. Yunbo must have seen something in her that we didn’t see.” Chen Meng’er couldn’t help but laugh out loud as she said it herself.

“Enough. Stop teasing me. Tell me, why did you let her stay?” Elder Liu didn’t understand his granddaughter.

“She is Yunbo’s partner. Yunbo isn’t here, so I can’t chase her away. Otherwise, Yunbo won’t know how to settle the score with me later.” Chen Meng’er deliberately beat around the bush with Elder Liu.

“How dare he…” Elder Liu glared. If Kang Jie was here, she would definitely be frightened by Elder Liu’s imposing manner.
