Chapter 317: I Just Casually Picked It Up
Previously, his little sister had only held his wrist but today, not only did she touch Jiang Xingyi’s hand, she even gave him a massage!
Why doesn’t he receive such treatment?!
Jiang Zeyu looked at Jiang Xingyi enviously. He saw that when Jiang Yu was finished, Jiang Xingyi looked renewed. He looked like he was enjoying himself. Compare to how he looked so exhausted earlier that he looked like he keel over at any moment, he looked awake and energized.
Jiang Xingyi was pleasantly surprised. “I feel so much better now. Little Sister, how did you get so good at massages?”
Xun Shaorong also said, “Yeah, Yu Yu also gave me a massage last time. It was really good.”
Jiang Zeyu said sourly, “Little Sister, why am I the only one who hasn’t gotten one…”
He looked as pitiful as a puppy, except that there was a tail wagging behind him.
Jiang Yu tilted her head. “You want a massage too?”
Jiang Zeyu nodded frantically.
Jiang Yu said, “Then wait until you’re tired from the next car race.”
Jiang Zeyu: “… Huh?”
Jiang Yu: “I’m tired.”
A question mark slowly appeared above Jiang Zeyu’s head.
If he remembered correctly, his little sister had been able to fight five people without any problems the other day. It was like she had simply curled her fingers.
Now, she was saying that she was tired after just moving her fingers around a little bit?
If his little sister was really tired, Jiang Xingyi’s shoulder should have been shattered into pieces by now, right?
However, Jiang Zeyu was terrified. He didn’t dare to say or ask otherwise.
He could only smile and say, “Little Sister, you’ve worked hard.”
Then, he rolled his eyes at the smug Jiang Xingyi.
Jiang Xingyi moved his shoulders. He really felt that his shoulders had become much more relaxed and his head felt much lighter and clearer. He exclaimed, “Little Sister, you even know this kind of skill? Where did you learn it from?”
Jiang Yu said plainly, “I just casually picked it up.”
After a pause, she said, “This will only go so far. Next time, I’ll bring needles and do some acupuncture on you.”
Jiang Xingyi’s eyes widened. “Little Sister, you also know acupuncture?”
Jiang Yu’s face did not give anything away. “Yeah, I just casually picked that up too”
Jiang Xingyi suddenly thought of something. “Little Sister, the bottle of tonic you gave me last time had been very effective. Could it be… that you mixed it yourself?”
Jiang Yu replied, “Yeah, I just randomly mixed some stuff up.”
Jiang Xingyi fell silent.
He had been thinking about where Little Sister found the medicine. He couldn’t tell where it came from but it was surprisingly effective. After the concert, his throat had felt uncomfortable. Following the instructions on the label, he drank a little of the tonic, and it soon felt its effect. His throat didn’t hurt as much anymore.
Otherwise, following his previous record, he would have needed to get a shot.
Jiang Zeyu was sour as a lemon.
He was the only one under the lemon tree, holding a lemon fruit.
“Little Sister,” Jiang Zeyu said with a forlorn tone, “Where’s the present you said that you would give me?”
He tried not to look at Jiang Xingyi’s face, in case he would be smacked by Jiang Xingyi’s smug look.
“Wait until you’ve won the race.” Jiang Yu waggled her fingers at him. “I’ll give you the present then.”
Her ears twitched as she heard a noise coming from outside the door.
Someone approached and then left.
…
Outside the door, Jiang Jingnian was just about to enter.
His hand was already on the door handle. After hearing the voices coming from inside the ward, he knew who was inside.
He hesitated for a moment before turning around and left in large strides.
…
In the ward, other than Jiang Yu, no one else knew that someone had stopped by.
After Jiang Xingyi finished lamenting about his little sister’s “I just casually picked it up”, he remembered that he had come over today to talk to Jiang Yu about something.
Chapter 318: Will Others Think That You’re Nibbling on Young Grass
“Little Sister, you promised to go to my concert. You didn’t forget, right?”
“No,” Jiang Yu said affirmatively. “I’ll be there.”
Jiang Xingyi cleared his throat and asked expectantly, “Then, I wonder if I could have the honor of inviting you to sing a song with me?”
Jiang Yu asked, “At the concert?”
“Yes.”
Jiang Yu thought for a moment and asked suspiciously, “Are you sure you want me to join you?”
Jiang Xingyi nodded.
Jiang Yu asked again, “Then how are you going to introduce me?”
Jiang Xingyi had already thought of an excuse, “As a co-star.”
After all, this song had been written by him and his little sister together, so it wasn’t wrong to say that.
Jiang Yu understood and said, “So you still want to use me to block those unfavorable suitors, right?”
It was obvious that Jiang Xingyi didn’t want to have anything to do with the Jiang Corporation, so he doesn’t want to say that she was his little sister.
Jiang Yu didn’t have any objections to this. However, an idea popped up in her mind, and she couldn’t help but ask, “Will others think that you’re nibbling on young grass?”
Jiang Xingyi: “…”
Jiang Xingyi: “Little Sister, I’m only 21! I’m only four years older than you! How could that be considered nibbling on young grass?!”
Jiang Zeyu clicked his tongue.
Although he agreed with Jiang Xingyi’s words that there were other people who could be considered to be nibbling at young grass, he didn’t want to support Jiang Xingyi.
His heart was still sour.
His little sister was going to his concert, yet he still wanted her to sing a song with him. Tsk tsk tsk.
This Jiang Xingyi was really putting himself out there. He really wanted to occupy his little sister’s vision with his presence.
Jiang Yu nodded. “Alright then. I’ll try my best to put on some makeup that will make me look a little more mature when the time comes.”
After all, the makeup was a superb art. It didn’t matter how old she really was. Jiang Yu wouldn’t have any problems even if she needed to transform into Jiang Xingyi’s aunt.
Jiang Xingyi was speechless.
Jiang Zeyu burst out laughing.
He moved his stool closer to Jiang Yu and asked casually, “Little Sister, are you planning to go to the concert alone?”
Jiang Yu thought for a moment and replied, “I don’t think so.”
The concert will go on for more than two hours, and she had only one song to sing with Jiang Xingyi. It will only be a few minutes, and it would be impossible for her to leave after just a few minutes. She had to continue watching the rest of the show.
It would be a waste of tickets to watch it alone.
Jiang Xingyi looked up at Jiang Zeyu and raised his voice, “Oh, so someone else wants to go to my concert too.”
“Who wants to go to your concert?!” Jiang Zeyu glared at him, “Don’t flatter yourself. I just want to be with my little sister.”
Jiang Yu agreed, “I can bring you along. I’ll bring Churan along as well.”
Jiang Xingyi did some calculations. “Little Sister, did I give you enough tickets? Do you want me to give you a few more tickets so you can give them away?”
“There’s no need. Four tickets are enough.”
Jiang Zeyu pinched his fingers.
Four tickets.
If he and Ji Churan were included, isn’t there one more ticket left?
Who would his little sister give it to?
…
At Jiang Wan’s house.
The dinner that she had meticulously prepared was already on the table.
She told the servants to leave and waited for Jiang Chenglang’s arrival with peace of mind.
The clock struck the hour and the doorbell rang.
Jiang Chenglang had arrived.
Jiang Wan happily went to open the door and called out, “Big Brother, you’re finally here. Did you have a hard time on the road? The dishes are all ready. I personally cooked for you. Hurry up and wash your hands before eating.”
On her birthday, the birthday girl had to cook for herself. It sounded a little pitiful.
Jiang Wan didn’t look wronged at all. She arranged the shoes for Jiang Chenglang. When she looked up, she was stunned.
Chapter 319: Big Brother, I Really Am Innocent
Jiang Chenglang did not come alone.
There was another person standing behind him.
However, that person had been hiding in the darkness thus Jiang Wan did not see him earlier. Now that he has walked into view, he said politely, “Hello, Miss Jiang.”
It was Rong Qi.
Jiang Chenglang stepped through the door. “Rong Qi worked overtime with me today. He hasn’t had dinner yet. I would like to bring him along. Is that alright?”
Jiang Wan’s lips twitched. “No problem.”
How could she refuse? If she did, Jiang Chenglang would probably leave immediately.
The smile on Jiang Wan’s lips became even wider. “Brother Rong, you’re welcome to celebrate my birthday with me. It’s just that it’s a little shabby here. I hope you don’t mind.”
Rong Qi said politely, “Miss Jiang, you don’t have to worry about me. I’m just here with Director Jiang.”
Rong Qi was very clear about his position. He was just a tool.
He would not get involved in Director Jiang’s family matters. If he were to mix business with personal matters and bring his own judgment to the table, he would lose his job as a personal assistant.
Jiang Chenglang walked to the table. Rong Qi took out the gift that he had prepared and handed it to Jiang Chenglang. Jiang Chenglang then handed it to Jiang Wan.
He said in a declarative tone, “Happy Birthday.”
Jiang Wan took the gift and said bitterly, “Big Brother, are you so unfamiliar with me now that you won’t even call me ‘Wan Wan’ anymore?”
Jiang Chenglang didn’t say anything.
He looked at Jiang Wan as if he was looking at a stranger.
There was even a hint of impatience in his eyes.
Rong Qi tried to smooth things over. “The food looks great. It smells great too. Why don’t we sit down and eat first? Otherwise, the food will get cold.”
The three of them sat down.
Jiang Wan was still a little unsettled.
She picked up a piece of food and wanted to put it into Jiang Chenglang’s bowl, but Jiang Chenglang raised his bowl, and the food between Jiang Wan’s chopsticks almost fell on the table.
She awkwardly put it into her own bowl. After taking two bites, she couldn’t help but put down her bowl and chopsticks, “Big Brother, it’s my fault. I didn’t know that you’d feel it so troublesome to celebrate a birthday with me. You act like you are just completing a mission. If that is the case, it would have been better if you hadn’t agreed to come here in the first place.”
“Big Brother, you came here because you wanted me to have a bad birthday, right?”
Jiang Wan’s eyes were filled with tears, “In the past, you would arrange a grand birthday party for me and prepare a gift for me in advance, so that I would become the enviable little princess on my birthday. Now? This gift was bought by Rong Qi, right?”
“I don’t expect a grand birthday party, nor do I expect a gift. I just want you to have a meal with me. Is it that so difficult?”
Jiang Chenglang also put down his bowl and chopsticks. He called her by her full name, “Jiang Wan.”
“I gave you a chance but you didn’t take it. Actually, I didn’t plan to come today but I saw this.”
He put a photo on the table and said affirmatively, “You’ve met with the Jian family recently.”
Jiang Wan’s expression suddenly changed!
How could it be?
How could Jiang Chenglang have this thing?
She thought that she had done it flawlessly. Moreover, Jian Hanshen was a vigilant person, and they had agreed to meet in a hidden place. How could Jiang Chenglang get this?!
Who gave it to him?
Jiang Wan never thought that Jiang Chenglang would come today to interrogate her. Her face was pale. “Big Brother, I know that you won’t believe me no matter what I say because I’ve disappointed you before but this time, I really am innocent…”
