Chapter 21 Steady Victory

Jiang Gu Ling's accumulative leave over the years was only a lot more than Jasmine's, and the two of them usually like to work overtime, so after submitting the application for a leave of absence, the higher-ups quickly approved it.

The night before going home, Jasmine also mustered up the courage to call her mother, saying that she would take someone back tomorrow.

Mrs. Gu Gu grasped the point quite sensitively: "Male or female?"

Jasmine also answered with difficulty: "...male."

"Wow! Are you talking about your boyfriend without telling your family?!" At this second, Mrs. Gu Gu couldn't tell whether she should be happy or angry, so she asked her mother-in-law three times, "How old are you? How is your family? What are you doing?" Work?"

"What, what! I'll find out tomorrow!" Jasmine also hesitated, "Anyway, I reminded you before, you have to be mentally prepared!"

Mrs. Gu Gu was suddenly happy and sad, and once wondered whether her menopausal condition had worsened.

"Ouch——no, what's his name? At least let us know what his name is! Oops! Look, why is it so sudden? Jasmine, you are really... oh, oh, oh! Although we are very worried about you, I believe Your vision is definitely not bad, but this is too... hey! Wait!" The person who was so excited that he could only "Oh" suddenly became alert, "I said, Jasmine, you must not be lying to mother, right?"

"I'm not lying! I really have a boyfriend!" Even when discussing love issues in front of her own mother, Jasmine was embarrassed, covering her hot cheeks with one hand, and shouted desperately, "I can't explain it on the phone! Let's talk about it!" Then quickly hung up the phone.

This episode left her struggling until the next morning to figure out how to deal with the various situations that might arise when Rei Furuya and his family met for the first time.

Rei Fuguya insisted on bringing a gift, so he volunteered to drive to Kanagawa.

Jasmine was also a little worried that driving would affect his wound recovery, but five days later, Jiang Gu Ling had all his stitches removed, and he moved freely without any inconvenience at all.

Thanks for the exuberant vitality and strong self-healing power.

But now, Jiang Gu Ling, who was wearing a light-colored windbreaker, was leaning against the car door, with one hand in his trousers pocket and the other hand holding a phone call. Seeing Jasmine also coming out of the apartment, he explained to the person on the other end of the phone After a few sentences, he put away his mobile phone, stood up and opened the car door: "The suitcases are all at the back."

Jasmine also got into the car: "Has the hotel been booked?"

"It's fixed, it's near your house." Jiang Gu Ling sat in the driver's seat, "What do you recommend for gifts?"

"Hmm... um... oh..." Jasmine also thought hard for a long time, but to no avail, so she had no choice but to give up, "I don't know either. In fact, it's fine to just bring some fruit?"

Jiang Gu Ling glanced at her, with a face full of disapproval: "How can you bring only fruits for an official visit."

"Because I really can't think of what to do!" Jasmine also swore that she had really thought about it, but she had no clue and couldn't give a better answer, "I feel...my mother doesn't pay attention to what companion you bring. Instead, I will pay attention to you as a person. In short, I may ask you various questions——sorry, please bear with me."

"Why do you say that?" Jiang Gu Ling had a face that should have been like this, "Isn't it normal to be asked all kinds of questions when I go to my girlfriend's house for the first time? I don't think I should be asked I was left speechless and ashamed.”

——Oh, I almost forgot, this person is super confident.

Jasmine also chuckled, and the insignificant tension in her heart disappeared under Jiang Gu Ling's confident speech.

"Leave it to me, don't worry." Jiang Gu Ling comforted her.

Driving all the way to Kanagawa, Jasmine was also afraid that Furutani Ling's injured arm would be too much, so she replaced him from the driver's seat halfway.

On the way, I heard that Mrs. Furutani is an art professor and also specializes in oil painting. Furutani spent a long time searching on his mobile phone, then turned on the navigation and asked Jasmine to take him to a well-known gallery in Kanagawa.

"You want to buy paintings?" Jasmine's expression became stiff.

Seeing her expression, Jiang Guling knew what she was thinking: "Don't worry, at least you won't be ashamed because of your boyfriend's poor vision. Or I will choose first, and you can judge from a professional perspective?"

"Professional or something, I can't do it..." Jasmine also smiled wryly.

Although the family is full of artistic atmosphere, it can't be infected by her. The so-called "education of the artistic family" is all empty talk.Ever since she was a child, the unrepentant Mrs. Gu Gu has tried countless times, but Jasmine is just a lump of elm wood, and she can't feel the romantic feeling of art no matter what.

Such a Jasmine would certainly not be able to offer any effective suggestions.

But as I said before, one of the biggest advantages of Jiang Guling is super self-confidence.Even in terms of aesthetics, he is absolutely sure that he will not lose to anyone.

The car slowly stopped outside a gallery with the signboard "Morita".

As soon as she entered the gallery, Jasmine saw an acquaintance: "Senior Yukimura!"

Yukimura Seiichi, who was standing still in front of a huge portrait, turned his head and smiled politely: "Excuse me...ah, you are Furuya-san." Good memory made him recognize this young woman as a high school artist. descendants of the Ministry.

Jasmine also blinked her eyes: "Senior Yukimura still recognizes me? What an honor."

Yukimura Seichi smiled and said, "After all, I'm in the same club, so I still have some impressions—let alone such an outstanding junior like Furuya-senpai."

Jasmine was also flattered by his praise: "My ordinary drawing skills are only a handful in the department..." On the contrary, this senior Yukimura not only has superb drawing skills, but also has a tough style of playing. In recent years, he often I saw him on TV playing in major international tennis tournaments.

After a long absence, the two alumni affiliated with Lihai University came and exchanged a few words, and it was only then that Jasmine learned that the gallery was owned by Yukimura's wife.As the boss's husband, Seiichi Yukimura occasionally puts his paintings on display in the gallery.

"Senior Yukimura is as excellent as ever." Jasmine also sighed from the bottom of her heart.

Jiang Guling has put on a smiley expression ever since the two started to compliment each other in business, standing aside and not disturbing their reminiscences.

When Mrs. Yukimura who came out later learned what they were buying paintings for, she couldn't help but smiled and said, "Since we are all alumni, I will give you the lowest discount for whichever schoolgirl you like."

"Do you have any recommendations?" The Mrs. Yukimura in front of her was also a famous figure affiliated to Lihai University back then, and Jasmine also asked humbly.

Mrs. Yukimura joked: "This question shouldn't be asked to me. When it comes to choosing paintings, famous flowers come into everyone's eyes."

On the other side, Furutani Rei quickly walked around the gallery under the concise introduction of Yukimura Seiichi, and finally chose a medium-sized landscape painting according to the size suggestion given by Jasmine.The next step is to pack, leave the address and make an appointment for the delivery time.

After leaving the gallery, Furutani Rei said, "Actually, I really want to find an opportunity to compete with Yukimura-kun."

"Zero used to play tennis when he was in school, right?" Jasmine vaguely remembered hearing it from someone, "But Yukimura-senpai is a world champion, at the level of a grand slam."

——The subtext is that he must not be able to beat her senior?

Aroused by the desire to win, Jiang Gu Ling gritted his teeth with a smile, and stretched out his hand to pinch Jasmine's cheek: "Don't underestimate your boyfriend!"

Just as he was about to sanction some unconscious guy, unexpectedly, there was a burst of shouting from across the street. It turned out that someone was blocking the road for robbery, and the robber was already stepping on a skateboard and was about to flee the scene.

What do you think of robbing in front of the Japanese police on vacation?He can only blame his own bad luck, because there are double copies of Iron Fist waiting for him to sign.

After dealing with the robber's problem, he was invited to a nearby police station to make a statement. He originally planned to arrive home before noon, but now he can only postpone the arrival time later.

Jasmine also turned the steering wheel to reverse the car a little depressed.Why do things happen everywhere? Really, there is always an illusion of a bad start.I hope there will be no more accidents when I get home in a while...

Thinking about it, she couldn't help turning her head to glance at Fugu Ling.

Then he was caught by the other party: "What's the matter? How about I drive?"

"It's nothing." Jasmine also looked away, pursed her lips, and sighed while observing the road conditions, "Just... a little unnecessary worry about you and me going home together."

Jiang Guling raised his arms, propped his chin and tilted his head, deliberately teasing her: "Which aspect are you worried about?"

——Isn’t this asking knowingly?

Jasmine also felt that she must have blushed again.

The more I get in touch with him, the more I realize that this gentleman can't suppress his bad intentions for her, or maybe he doesn't want to suppress it at all?

Too much!Fortunately, she was still so worried about whether he would encounter difficulties from the woman's parents in the future, and she was even seriously thinking about how to say a few nice words for him in front of her parents and elder brother without any trace, but in the end, this man didn't show up at all. Are you nervous?Then why was she so nervous about him?

Look so stupid!

Jasmine was also depressed, she felt that she was a fool, but she also had some inexplicable sense of who she was going to be angry with, she struggled for a while, and decided to ignore Jiang Guling for the time being.

As a result, Jiang Gu Lingfei wanted to provoke her, and repeated the question with a smile: "What kind of worry is it? Tell me, let's solve it together?"

Jasmine also held her breath.

Jasmine also exhaled.

Jasmine couldn't bear it any longer, and she spoke surprisingly: "Zero is so annoying! If a man is too wordy, he will be hated by others!"

Jiang Gu zero burst into laughter.

"Hahaha..." After being stared at by Jasmine, he shook his finger, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ridicule, the main reason is that Jasmine is too cute."

Jasmine also forbearance threw a threatening look that could be said to be harmless in Jiang Gu Ling's eyes.

Jiang Gu Ling raised his hand: "Okay, okay, I won't laugh anymore."

Seeing him like this, Jasmine wanted to sigh again.Jiang Gu Ling extended his arms and rubbed her head.

"Actually, there is really no need for Jasmine to worry. No matter what, just leave it to me to worry about things like seeing parents." He showed a confident expression, and his words were completely inevitable, "I'm— I have been preparing carefully for a long time."
