<b>Chapter 10 – As A Stupid and Naive Idiot With No Interest In Rich People, Bai YueSheng’s Heart Was Very Tired</b>\nWhat was this all about?
A sudden inheritance? Did he become someone’s illegitimate child they’d been searching for? Or was it someone he’d carelessly helped before wanting to repay his good deed?\nNo matter what it was, Bai YueSheng felt very anxious. He was tired, really tired. All he wanted to do was find a comfortable bed and have a long nap.
But because of trying to achieve that stupid promotion mission, he had to force himself to get in the car.
Inside the car it was very warm and the ice slowly melted away from his extremities. The seat was very comfortable and that private part of him which was bullied ruthlessly was able to get some relief. At the very least it wasn’t adding to his problems.
Outside the sky outside was overcast but the time should be around noon. They became quickly stuck in the lunchtime traffic jam. No matter how expensive the car was, it couldn’t grow wings and fly.
Bai YueSheng didn’t mind this one bit. He leaned against the seat and closed his eyes.
Because of the traffic it took half an hour to exit the city. After leaving the highway they entered an area of villas surrounded by mountainous scenery. The environment was very beautiful and the air was very fresh. The housing prices around here must be extraordinary.
Once Bai YueSheng also had a chance to live here, in a three level luxuriously furnished mansion with a maid from the Philippines and two sports cars in the garage.
However Teacher Bai, being lofty and above material things, had shaken his sleeve and looked down his nose  at the money. Then without even seeing it, he had directly donated it to a charity organisation…
Speaking of it made him feel like crying and swallowing blood.
After making his way into the villa suburb, Bai YueSheng finally saw it was who had summoned him here.
Under a multi million dollar crystal chandelier, inside a luxuriously appointed living room, a woman around forty years of age sat on a mahogany chair. She was wearing a cream colored suit and her demeanor was extremely elegant. In front of her on a coffee table was an exquisite tea set and even an uninformed person would know from a glance that its value was priceless.
Bai YueSheng was a true gentleman that didn’t admire money, so naturally he ignored the entire appearance of the house, and just looked directly at the woman with the sharp eyebrows.
There were lines at the corner of her eyes but because she had a good bone structure and must have been beautiful when she was young, even though she was now older, she was still very good looking. It was only because she had such a high position in life, and had the pressure of looking after an enormous corporate empire, that there were signs of stress around her eyebrows.
It wasn’t the first time Bai YueSheng had seen her, rather it should be said the two of them were old acquaintances.
This elegant woman was Jiang “Third Master” Ming’s birth mother, the real person who controlled the Rising Sun Group, Ye Hua.
Ye Hua was a strong woman among strong women, otherwise how she be able to win over two of her nephews, seizing the power of the corporation in order to guard it for her son?
This kind of frightening woman who could control thunder and lightning was now standing as she saw Bai YueSheng, the sharp lines immediately eased and she became suffused with warmth.
Probably even her son Jiang Ming very rarely saw his own mother gazing at him with such a kind and humble expression.
Bai YueSheng bowed and said softly, “Hello Auntie Ye.”
Ye Hua immediately caught his hand. “Was there traffic on the road? I should have come to pick you up earlier but I was scared of disturbing your class.”
Bai YueSheng was actually quite fond of her but because of the necessity of maintaining his position on life, he had no choice but to create some distance between him and this mother-son pair.
Ye Hua was already pulling him towards the dining room. “I made your favorite sweet and sour fish, it was caught in Hokkaido just this morning and flown in by plane. It’s extremely fresh. I made it according to your taste, you’ll definitely like it.”
As she spoke, Bai YueSheng also smelt the delicious, fragrant aroma… he really wanted to eat it!
But…
Bai YueSheng extricated himself from Ye Hua. “Auntie Ye, I’m sorry.”
Ye Hua stilled and then said with a bitter smile, “What happened between you and Xiao Ming? Did he do something wrong? Just tell me and I’ll be sure to punish him for you.”
Bai YueSheng shook his head. “It’s not Ah Ming’s fault, it’s mine.”
Ye Hua’s heart twisted, she had thought of something. “I heard that it’s because you’re concerned about the Jiang family? Don’t worry, as long as I’m here, no one will dare to say a thing. You and Xiao Ming don’t need to hide your relationship. As you know I’m very open minded. Anyway sexual preferences isn’t something you can force. As long as the two of you can grow old together I’ll be very satisfied.”
Bai YueSheng was really put into a tough spot.
Ye Hua continued, “Xiao Sheng, you really don’t need to concern yourself. Status and position are all useless things. Back then when Xiao Ming and I were destitute, if it wasn’t for your help, I probably would have succumbed to illness and died. We are comrades that survived disaster together, my feelings towards you are not the same as others.”
These were all words that Ye Hua dug out from her heart. Of course Bai YueSheng knew this.
However when he and Jiang Ming met, he really didn’t know the other person was a phoenix fallen to the earth, just taking him for a common chicken. He was pretty handsome, and he originally thought the two of them could have a simple, peaceful life together. But who knew after being together for one month, his mother Ye Hua would rediscover her old supporters, then completely reverse their fates by seizing back control of the Jiang family? From being a ill woman on the verge of death, she transformed back into the real power behind the Rising Sun Group.
Thus, Jiang Xiao Ming transformed into Third Young Master Jiang.
Bai YueSheng had experienced exactly what a Lucky S Physique was.
Even more than luck, both Jiang Ming and Ye Hua were people were were highly loyal and grateful people, they didn’t care at all about Bai YueSheng’s lowly status as a poor teacher at all. One of them thought every day about how to bring him home as a wife, and the other thought all day about how to help her son bring him home as a wife.
Thus as a person who possessed the Lucky S Physique, he wouldn’t only obtain a good husband but also a good mother-in-law. The most important thing was this mother-in-law excelled at making sweet and sour fish, just smelling it made Bai YueSheng dizzy!
This ridiculous promotion missing had really turned him into a deaf and dumb mute, he had no words.
Ye Hua was being completely sincere, she honestly liked Bai YueSheng. She thought that he had good looks and a good temperament, as well as being clever and generous. He was also someone that brought fortune to others and she sincerely believed that if she hadn’t met Bai YueSheng then she would not have recovered from her illness, would not have found the people her husband had left behind, and definitely it would have been impossible to take back the Rising Sun Group…
So she honestly felt that, except for the fact that he couldn’t have children, there was nowhere in the world she would ever be able to find a better daughter-in-law.
If she passed the village then she would miss the shop. Thinking about her half-dead, languishing son, she immediately said, “Xiao Sheng, if you’re scared of Jiang Ming betraying you, then I’ll stand on your side. I’ll give you 20% of the shares of the Rising Sun Group. This way you don’t need to worry…”
Bai “gold was akin to mud” YueSheng really wanted to cry. “Auntie, it’s not like this.”
Ye Hua also felt like crying. “Then tell me what is it like exactly?”
Bai YueSheng had no choice but to take out the stupid “love is fickle” excuse. “I don’t like Ah Ming anymore, you really can’t force something like that.”
Bai YueSheng blabbed on for a while, giving a performance of “love is willful and cannot be controlled”. Ye Hua was really speechless.
And as a stupid and naive idiot with no interest in rich people, Bai YueSheng’s heart was very tired.
At last Ye Hua finally gave up. She said with a deep sigh, “You should go see him. He hasn’t left his room in a whole week.”
Bai YueSheng could only apologize endlessly. “Auntie Ye, I’m really sorry.”
Ye Hua could only smile bitterly, “It’s the two of us that are not worthy of you.”
Bai YueSheng was too scared to say anything further. He followed a servant upstairs to Jiang Ming’s bedroom.
In front of him was another battle. Bai YueSheng took a deep breath before pushing open the door. He had prepared himself mentally for a devastating final meeting with Jiang Ming full of passionate words and heartbreak.
Heaven knows what kind of test this was to Bai YueSheng who excelled at controlling his heart.
{T/N: Refers to the fact that Bai YueSheng is a very controlled/non-emotional person but he’s preparing to put on a big emotional show to help Jiang Ming come to terms with their break up.}
The heartbroken Third Young Master Jiang no longer had any anger left, his listless and lifeless appearance made him look more delicate than usual .
As soon as Bai YueSheng appeared, the life returned to his dead eyes. They lit up as he called, “Ah Sheng!”
Bai YueSheng swallowed the words that he had prepared. Why did this kid look so pitiful?
Jiang Ming clutched his hand, tears spilled from his eyes. “Ah Sheng what happened that day wasn’t real right? That guy was lying right? How can you possibly have a boyfriend, you told me the one you liked was me…”
At the point of their touching, Bai YueSheng felt a sudden shock run through him.
Qiu ChangFeng really was a petty person…
Bai YueSheng didn’t make a noise but pressed onto Jiang Ming’s palm and drew out the troublesome small spirit.
The little black creature wasn’t enough to harm anyone’s life, but it would torment them with nightmares.
The forced out spirit creature originally wanted to sneak away quietly but after being stared at by Bai YueSheng he was so frightened he almost wet his pants, and quickly flew away.
Without the creature, Jiang Ming’s complexion became noticeably better and his mood become more stable.
Bai YueSheng said soothingly, “Ah Ming, don’t be like this. Even if we can’t be lovers, we can still be friends.”
Jiang Ming fell back onto the bed, looking stunned.
Bai YueSheng added, “You will definitely meet someone better and experience true happiness, trust me.”
Jiang Ming hanged his head. His mood had become calm but his voice was slightly powerless. Not giving up he asked, “So that person… really was your boyfriend?”
Bai YueSheng just wanted to speak when his heart suddenly jumped.
He had no time to react. The door was opened suddenly and a tall, handsome man strode in with his long legs. His voice was very low and the words filled with foreboding. “Boyfriend? We are already married.”
