Chapter 157: My Yu’er
“I’ve done something wrong, I admit it. Big Brother, your arrangements, I’ve also accepted them.”
Jiang Wan’s expression was very calm. “Then, Big Brother, can I go up and pack my things now?”
Jiang Wan did not say anything else that might cause Jiang Chenglang to feel disgusted.
She did not show any signs of weakness, and there were no more fake tears and grievances on her face.
Feng Linbai could not see Jiang Wan’s expression, but he could hear her calm through her words.
She did not cry or make a scene, or frantically apologize or beg for mercy, knowing that it might invoke Jiang Chenglang’s disgust. She knew that she had to accept his arrangement and let everyone calm down so that she could look for another opportunity in the future.
She had some skills.
Feng Linbai leaned close to Jiang Yu’s ear and commented, “Your fiendish little stepsister is indeed capable. A wise man submits to circumstances. She really has a good grasp of your big brother’s thoughts.”
“If your big brother wasn’t a person who could tell right from wrong, but a brainless person who just wants to pamper his little sister, I’m afraid all your efforts tonight would have gone to waste, right?”
Feng Linbai’s breath tickled Jiang Yu’s ear.
She shook her body and realized that his hand was still on her shoulder.
“Let go.”
Feng Linbai reluctantly removed his hand.
Although the little lady was a little thin, he still thought that holding her felt great.
As for Jiang Yu, she watched Jiang Wan leave with her head lowered. For some reason, a sentence suddenly popped up into her head.
Big Brother hates being cheated.
She frowned slightly and said, “This is difficult. This matter has already been resolved.”
“Or is it…”
Then, Feng Linbai suddenly raised his voice and said, “Miss Jiang, for everything that happens, there is a cause.”
Jiang Wan stopped in her tracks.
She turned sideways and waited for Feng Linbai’s next words.
Feng Linbai, however, did not turn to her with a faint smile, even though his words just now had been clearly meant for her.
Since Feng Linbai had no intention of continuing, Jiang Wan was naturally not foolish enough to return to the earlier topic.
She quickened her pace and treated the words just now as a casual remark by Feng Linbai. She quickly went upstairs and returned to her room.
However, after entering her room, her expression turned dark.
…
Downstairs, Jiang Yu turned to look at him but did not say anything.
Feng Linbai said frankly, “You’re not wrong. What happened today had indeed been orchestrated by me.”
He talked slowly, his tone a little devilish. “If you’re always thinking of playing bad tricks on others, why not try it yourself?”
Jiang Yu: “Well done.”
Feng Linbai couldn’t help but laugh. “It seems like you’ve already figured out what I’ve done.”
“You threatened her just now. Was it that difficult to guess?”
Feng Linbai said dotingly, “It’s My Yu’er who’s too smart.”
Jiang Yu frowned slightly. She wasn’t quite used to Feng Linbai calling her “my Yu’er”.
When she thought about how this person had deliberately gone after Jiang Wan for her though…
Perhaps he had done it because he had been shocked and frightened?
No matter, he had been on her side tonight. It wasn’t a bad feeling to have someone to speak up for her.
Jiang Yu didn’t bother with correcting him.
Jiang Chenglang, who had been ignored by the two, could now confirm that their relationship was indeed good.
He said, “Mr. Feng, I’m sorry that our Jiang family has caused you trouble. I’ll make a special trip to apologize to you in the future. It’s getting late today, and the matter has come to an end. Mr. Feng, please head home.”
Feng Linbai didn’t even look at him.
“My Yu’er hasn’t said anything. Why are you in such a hurry?”
Chapter 158: The Big Brother Who Has Been Stabbed
Jiang Chenglang was stunned.
My Yu’er?
Feng Linbai and Xiao Yu were already so close to each other?
He was five years older than Xiao Yu. He was trying to get close to Xiao Yu. Did he see her as his little sister, or… did he have ulterior motives?
Jiang Chenglang looked at Feng Linbai like he was looking at a wolf who was hiding its tail between its legs. It was just that Xiao Yu did not have a very good impression of him right now. Of course, he didn’t want to say anything to annoy Xiao Yu even further.
At this moment, Jiang Chenglang was very self-aware.
He knew that his position in Xiao Yu’s heart was probably even lower than that of Fifth Young Master Feng’s.
Thinking about it, he felt a little frustrated.
But what could he do? He could only reap what he had sown.
Jiang Chenglang could only try to be tactful and say, “Xiao Yu is now in her third year of high school and her studies are important. She still has to go to school tomorrow. Let her have a good rest.”
Feng Linbai retorted, “I came to look for Xiao Yu tonight because of other matters. Wasn’t it Jiang Wan, your precious youngest sister, who took up so much of Xiao Yu’s time tonight?”
Jiang Chenglang: “…”
He felt like his heart had suddenly been stabbed by someone. It was quite painful.
Actually, the reason why Jiang Chenglang wanted to chase him away was mainly because he wanted to have a good talk with Jiang Yu.
All he had done was apologize to her. It was definitely not enough to gain Jiang Yu’s understanding.
Moreover, he knew that he did not know Jiang Yu well enough. He had thought that once Jiang Yu returns to the Jiang family, they would be able to get to know each other after spending some time together. Perhaps, their relationship would also gradually become better.
Who knew that so many things could happen in such a short amount of time.
Jiang Chenglang really wanted to make it up to Jiang Yu. He wanted to know what Jiang Yu was thinking.
Jiang Yu clearly understands how he thinks.
There wasn’t much emotion on her cold face. “You don’t have to be sorry. She did everything, not you.”
Jiang Chenglang: “But, I’m really sorry. It was my mistake. I didn’t realize it in time…”
Jiang Yu said, “It’s possible for everyone to miss something. It just means that you’re not very capable.”
Jiang Chenglang: “…”
Jiang Yu said, “Oh, and there’s also the problem of being old-fashioned.”
Jiang Chenglang: “…”
Jiang Yu finished with, “Actually, the main problem is that you’re blind.”
Jiang Yu thought that he was even more blind than Jiang Zeyu had been.
However, there was nothing wrong with Jiang Zeyu’s eyes after that. Was it because she had given him a good beating?
She sized up Jiang Chenglang.
It was her fault. Thinking that he was already over 20 and was well-dressed, that he did not need to experience socialism-style punishment.
Jiang Chenglang felt that his heart had been stabbed several times, but he did not dare to refute it.
At this moment, Feng Linbai added, “Indeed, your eyes are even more blind than mine.”
Jiang Chenglang: … This is a little unbearable.
He sat down, crossed his arms across his chest and said, “Mr. Feng, I’m very grateful you helped Xiao Yu tonight. I have will not deny that I have neglected my duties as caretaker.”
“It’s just that it’s really late now. If there’s anything else between you and Xiao Yu, it’s best to resolve it quickly. After all, Xiao Yu is still young. I’ve neglected my duties before, so I don’t dare to let down my guard anymore. What do you think?”
Feng Linbai: “I think what you said makes sense. So, Mr. Jiang, please give us some privacy for a while. Yu’er and I need to deal with some serious matters.”
Jiang Chenglang: ???
How could this outsider be so confident in his house?
Chapter 159: Over in Three Minutes
Jiang Chenglang was very angry. He turned and looked at Jiang Yu.
Feng Linbai couldn’t see, but he too turned to look at Jiang Yu.
Both of them knew that Jiang Yu had the final say. If Jiang Yu didn’t agree, how could he chase Feng Linbai away?
Jiang Yu nodded and said, “Yes, there’s something I need to do. I’ll use the guest room.”
She did not want Feng Linbai to enter her bedroom, and Jiang Chenglang’s study was not suitable either. Anyway, the Jiang family home had many rooms, so naturally, there was a guest room. It would only take a short while to check Feng Linbai’s eyes.
Feng Linbai smiled smugly at Jiang Chenglang.
Jiang Chenglang: … His heart felt heavy but he did not say anything.
After the matter had been settled, Jiang Yu did not want to drag things out any longer. She brought Feng Linbai to the guest room, then went back to the bedroom to get her things.
When she returned, Feng Linbai had just finished talking to Ke Yanbin, who had been waiting outside for his master this whole time.
“Master, she’s just a small fry. Is it really worth your time? Why didn’t you just throw the thing in her face and leave?”
Feng Linbai sneered, “Who says my energy is being wasted if it’s for the little lady?”
Ke Yanbin: “… I understand. Master, please take your time. I’m not in a hurry.”
He could wait. He could continue to wait.
If he really had to wait until his master catches the little lady, perhaps… he would have turned into a statue by then?
Feng Linbai naturally did not know what Ke Yanbin was thinking. He quietly waited for Jiang Yu to finish her examination. In the end, she still came to the same conclusion. “There’s no problem. Just give your eyes some time to heal.”
Feng Linbai blinked his eyes. His eyelashes were thick and the light cast a small shadow under his eyes.
“I’m probably being too sensitive. Thank you for your hard work, Yu’er.”
“You may leave now.”
Jiang Yu sent him off without a second thought.
Feng Linbai wanted to linger a little longer but Jiang Yu had already opened the door. “I’ll send you out.”
Jiang Chenglang stood silently outside the door. He was waiting for the slightest sign of distress from inside the door, to chase away the big-tailed wolf.
Who would have thought that it would be so quiet?
Moreover, it was over really fast?
Jiang Yu had only been inside for three minutes and it was already over?
Sensing Jiang Yu looking at him, Jiang Chenglang raised the glasses he was holding and gestured, “I was afraid that you guys would be thirsty, so I came up to deliver water.”
Jiang Yu did not bother with exposing him. “It’s done. I’ll send him off now.”
Just as Feng Linbai walked out of the room, Jiang Chenglang volunteered, “Xiao Yu, you don’t have to work so hard. I’ll send him off for you.”
Jiang Yu thought for a moment and said, “Alright then.”
It was just sending Feng Linbai off. Jiang Chenglang would never harm him. Perhaps Jiang Chenglang was doing this because he wanted to find an opportunity to get close to the Feng family or to discuss some work matters.
Jiang Yu did not think too much about it.
She first said to Jiang Chenglang, “Then I’ll have to trouble you.”
Then, she turned to Feng Linbai and said, “Watch your step. I won’t be sending you off.”
Then, she yawned and watched as Jiang Chenglang helped Feng Linbai down the stairs. From the back, they looked polite and harmonious, so she turned around and went back to her room to rest.
However, the conservation between those two seemingly amiable people was like this:
Jiang Chenglang said, “Mr. Feng seems to be very interested in my Xiao Yu.”
He emphasized the word “my” as if he was trying to win back the game he had lost in front of Feng Linbai earlier.
Feng Linbai: “My eyes may not work properly but my foresight is good.”
Jiang Chenglang: “…”
