Chapter 3: Chapter 3 – A Fateful(?) Encounter

The next day, Cao Jianyu was ready to leave

Before he left, Cao Long stopped him and told him he would fulfill the deal a week later

Although Cao Jianyu had a good nights rest mast night, he cannot help being tired as his brother is really someone he cannot let his guard down with

Luckily, during his talk with his brother, he found the first prince really has no interest in the throne

Cao Jianyu really rather not make an enemy of Cao Long since hes sure if he does, he wouldn't even know how he died

After stepping in the carriage, Cao Jianyu looked back at the mansion and had a bit of mixed feelings about it

He would prefer not to enter the lion’s den again, but for the sake of his mother, he would just have to grit his teeth and endure it

______

Back at the mansion, Cao Long was looking at Cao Jianyu’s files

If Cao Jianyu were to look at it, he chills would definity be sent down his spin as there is a shockingly amount of information about him, even information he didn't even know himself

It was information of Cao Jianyu’s likes, dislikes, personality, hobbies, intelligence and more

There was even details of how his mother was murdered and who did it

However that wouldn't be what is truly terrifying about this document, on the very bottom, written in red ink, there was a section of Cao Jianyu’s past and future life

Who knows where Cao Long got information from

But for all we know, Cao Long is excited for the surprises Cao Jianyu would bring him

If there is one thing Cao Long was regretful about, is that he cannot watch all this in person

He really wished there was a tv so he can watch the court drama more closely

But alas, there are some things even he cannot get his hands on

He sighed and drank the milk tea a servant has brought him earlier

Cao Long studied the milk tea a bit more

While the cup wasn't made out of plastic and is made out of wood, the contents are no less than the ones you buy in the 21st century

Cao Long thought of the origin of this drink

This out of place drink was not something he brought here, but someone else

The one that populariszed this was Jia Jiaying, a transmigration who was also from the 21st century

She not only has a milk tea shop, but also a dozen more shops under her name

Cao Long found her when she was 12

4 years ago, there was a rumor that the second miss of the Jia family changed and became more bold

Curious, Cao Long sent a spy and had them listen on her

And what do you know, from the words of Jia Jiaying was muttering, Cao Long deduced Jia Jiaying had transmigrated here as well

At that time, Cao Long had nothing to do, so watching her was a very fun experience

Since watching someone face slap people in real life isn't something you see everyday

In order to prove how bored he was, he even crossdressed as one of Jia Jiaying’s maids and watched her expose her family

Cao Long wanted to watch more, but the poor Huizhong who was scared out of his wits seeing the prince himself went undercover himself

So after much persuasion, after three months of stalking, Cao Long reluctantly went back

But when Jia Jiaying wanted to be independent and start her own business, Cao Long decided to lend a hand under his other name for a few funsies

After reminiscing the past a little, he ordered someone to bring the files of Jia Jiaying 

Yesterday, Cao Long didn't invite Cao Jianyu to rest at his place just for kindness, but instead he had a plan

You see, Jia Jiaying would disguise herself and go inspect he shops

Cao Long calculated Jia Jiaying and Cao Jianyu would meet when they go about

Of course, even if they pass each other, it's not like they would stop and chat

So as a very simple solution, he had the couchmen, which is a spy from Cao Long side ‘accidentaly’ almost hit Jia Jiaying and Cao Jianyu, being the heroic guy he is, would definitely save our poor female lead  

This morning, he had already sent one of his men to ‘bump’ Jia Jiaying onto the road

Ofcourse, if Cao Jianyu doesn't step in, Cao Long would have Huizhong come in and help her instead

Cao Long is looking forwards to the future drama, he quickly sent Huizhong to update him on the current situation

Ah, fun, fun times with MC creating cliches(LOL)

______

Jia Jiaying has a secret, four years ago, she died in a car accident and was transmigrated to the book, ‘seventh prince rise to the throne’ as a cannon fodder!

In the book, Jia Jiaying was bullied by everyone in her family because her mother was a dancer that caught patriarch Jia’s eyes, however, after entering the family, her mother was framed by the main wife and thus lost favor

You are reading story If a Genius was Reincarnated to Ancient China at novel35.com

When her mother was abandoned by the man she loved and was constantly harassed by the main wife and her children, she eventually was beaten to death, leaving Jia Jiaying to fend for herself

After her mother died, she had a life worse than the servants

When she was 14, the fourth prince was going to marry her elder sister, but the Jia family was worried due to the rumors of the fourth prince, so they secretly switched the two sisters and sent Jia Jiaying instead

In the palace, Jia Jiaying lived a miserable life due to everyone looking down at her for being a imposter and eventually died with the fourth prince because it was revealed the fourth prince’s maternal family was plotting a rebellion

After she transmigrated, she face slapped all the people bullying the original owner and established her own chain of stores and became one of the richest in the capital

It was just a normal day for Jia Jiaying, but when she was walking down the streets, she was accidentally bumped 

However, when she was going to get up again and scold the one that bumped her, a low-key suddenly appeared

Since Jia Jiaying was sitting down, seeing the horses seemed even more terrifying

Jia Jiaying was in a trance, but she was awoken when a scream ran through the crowd

Just when she thought she was going to be hit, a hand puller her away from the road just before she was going to be hit

Jia Jiaying really thought she was going to die again

The feeling of death still haunts her today and she does not want to relive it

She wanted to curse the driver, but the carriage had already drove away

She was mad at the coach for driving away and not even apologizing, but it has already gone so far, she can't chase it now

“Miss, are you alright?”

Jia Jiaying just realized she was still being held

Embarrassed, she quickly broke free

She bowed down, “thank you gentleman for saving me, if you didn't pull me back, I wouldn't be in the world any longer”

“No thanks, it is a gentlemen's duty to help a lady”

Jia Jiaying looked up at the man and found a handsome man, with beauty unparalleled to the men she had ever seen

“I do not like being in someone's debt, so would you like anything for me?”

“It’s fine, you do not need to go so far, anyone would’ve done the same thing I did”

“You don't have to be so stubborn, let see…”

Jia Jiaying rummaged through her pouch for a few seconds until she found what she was looking for

“Here is my business card, if you ever show up in any Yunbao stores, they will treat you with courtesy”

“Thank you miss”

“No I should thank you instead”

Jia Jiaying was going to talk more, but a man appeared beside the man and whispered a few words

“It seems like I have to go”

“Well, I won't bother you anymore, if fate lets us meet again, let's have a drink together”

“If that time comes, I will take your offer”

After the man left, Jia Jiaying left as well

She still havent gotten over the terror of being run over yet, so she head home and headed to bed early

______

The man who saved Jia Jiaying was obviously Cao Jianyu

Going back in time a little, when Cao Jianyu was going down the streets, one of the wheels on the carriage suddenly broke so the servants had to go repeat it

He was bored after waiting so long so he went around town to take a look

That's when he found a girl falling onto the road

Without thinking, he had already pulled her back, just in time before she was harmed

The girl was very peculiar

She was polite, but also bold and arrogant on the inside, but he can tell she also have her own sense of principals 

Cao Jianyu smiled inwardly

‘interesting’

When Jia Jiaying came back to her residence, which is away from main house in the Jia family, she found a letter on her desk

It was from Qiu Guang
