Can Chapter 5 be put down?

5

Jiang Yiruan, who was indifferent: "?"

She was almost about to point at herself and ask, "Who's the insignificant person? Me?", but she quickly suppressed her displeasure and maintained her innocent smile.

"In that case, you should try to appease your sister for a while, and I'll wait patiently for you to finish your work."

Jiang Yiruan's words were just a casual remark to maintain her public image, but Ji Yanheng began to think about them seriously.

After a moment, he nodded: "You're right. Ayu has been abroad for so many years. Now that she's back, I should spend some quality time with her."

After saying this, Ji Yanheng walked towards the private room where Jiang Siyu and the others were.

As for Jiang Siyu's rejection just now, Ji Yanheng didn't take it to heart.

She is always a bit more lenient with herself than with others.

With this thought in mind, Ji Yanheng quickened his pace.

Just as he was about to reach the private room where Jiang Siyu and the others were, the elevator doors suddenly opened, and a person quickly walked over.

"President Ji."

The sound interrupted Ji Yanheng's steps.

He turned to look at the person running towards him: "What is it?"

The other person ran up to him and stopped, lowering their voice to say, "The one from the Bo family is upstairs."

The Bo family?

Bo Siye!

Ji Yanheng frowned and glanced at the door of the private room that was just inches away, but the next moment he turned around and walked towards the elevator.

The others were all puzzled by his actions. Wasn't he just trying to coax Jiang Siyu?

Why did you leave so suddenly?

Meanwhile, inside the private room, Fu Lin, who was peering through the one-way glass door at the outside scene, frowned in confusion.

She glanced back at Jiang Siyu, who was sitting calmly scrolling through her phone:

"Ji Yanheng is gone."

Jiang Siyu: "Mm."

"You don't care?" Fu Lin asked with a strange expression.

"Why should I care?" Jiang Siyu didn't even take her eyes off her phone.

Fu Lin observed her, but never saw a trace of hurt or sadness on her face.

Although Jiang Siyu said yesterday that she had been in a relationship, she returned to China as soon as she heard the news of the upcoming marriage between the Ji and Jiang families. Fu Lin didn't really believe that she had completely let go of Ji Yanheng.

But Jiang Siyu's behavior made her doubt her own assumptions.

After thinking for a moment, Fu Lin asked, "Didn't you return to China because you heard that the Ji family was going to form a marriage alliance with the Jiang family?"

"I know about this." Jiang Siyu looked up, somewhat puzzled. "But what does this have to do with my return to China?"

The Jiang family, under the leadership of their "good" father, has been on a downward spiral for some time.

Choosing a marriage alliance is one of the easiest ways for Jiang Dingbang to maintain his position as chairman of the group.

Therefore, Jiang Siyu was not surprised at all by this news.

"Hiss~" Fu Lin ignored the situation outside and quickly walked over to Jiang Siyu and sat down next to her:

"Everyone is saying that you came back to the country because of the marriage between the two families. After all, if you hadn't come back, the Jiang family and Ji Yanheng's marriage partner would have been Jiang Yiruan."

But now that Jiang Siyu is back, judging from Ji Yanheng's behavior just now, it's really hard to say which of the two will be the marriage partner of the Ji family.

"I already said it's just a rumor." Jiang Siyu lowered her head indifferently and continued to look at the information about the current head of the Bo family.

Seeing that she didn't seem to care about it at all, Fu Lin became a little anxious:

"So you're just going to tolerate them spouting nonsense like that? That's giving that bastard Ji Yanheng too much face, isn't it?"

Hearing Fu Lin's indignant voice, Jiang Siyu finally took her eyes off her phone.

“Grandpa, don’t you think that if I don’t care about this, then I’m the one who’s bothered? But there’s one person who will definitely care a lot, right?”

Fu Lin blinked, then her eyes lit up: "Jiang Yiruan?!"

"Hmm~" Jiang Siyu's lips curled up: "Whether her feelings for Ji Yanheng are genuine or not, my return to the country will definitely make them, mother and daughter, restless for the foreseeable future."

“Looking at it this way, there really is no need to explain further.” Fu Lin’s eyes lit up, and she felt relieved just thinking about Jiang Yiruan’s face, which couldn’t maintain a fake expression.

However… she glanced at Jiang Siyu, but ultimately didn’t voice the question that was on her mind.

Jiang Siyu used to be arrogant and sharp-tongued, although her identity attracted many people who wanted to befriend her.

However, after getting to know her, those people chose to leave because they didn't get any benefits from her and couldn't stand Jiang Siyu's prickly personality.

Fu Lin was brought to tears several times by Jiang Siyu's sharp tongue, but in the end she was determined to become her friend.

She had seen the kind and passionate heart beneath Jiang Siyu's sharp tongue, so she didn't want to give up easily.

Fortunately... in the end, she successfully enjoyed all her tenderness.

However, both before and after her death, the only person Jiang Siyu was close to was Ji Yanheng.

Can she really let go of the favoritism and concern she has for Ji Yanheng?

Fu Lin was unsure and dared not confirm with Jiang Siyu, fearing that bringing it up would upset her again.

While she hesitated, the dishes they ordered were served.

Seeing that Jiang Siyu had already sat down at the dining table, Fu Lin was even less willing to spoil her appetite.

But just because Fu Lin doesn't want to, doesn't mean others don't.

Jiang Siyu had just started eating when there was a knock on the door of the private room.

Although such clubs offer a high degree of privacy, as entertainment venues, even the doors to VIP rooms can be opened directly, though there will be staff guarding the outside.

Fu Lin thought there were still dishes that hadn't been served, so she pressed the notification bell on the table.

The next second, the door to the private room was pushed open.

However, the first person to enter was not a waiter serving the food.

Instead, it was Jiang Yiruan.

Behind her were some of the people from the private room they had just been in.

That entourage looked exactly like they were there to support Jiang Yiruan.

Upon seeing them, Fu Lin reacted like a cat with its fur standing on end: "What are you doing here?!" she demanded loudly.

Jiang Yiruan didn't reply, but instead looked at Jiang Siyu, who was sitting there eating as if nothing had happened.

After waiting a while, seeing that she still didn't seem inclined to acknowledge her, a cold glint flashed in Jiang Yiruan's eyes before she spoke first:

"Sister, will you come home with me later?"

Jiang Siyu paused almost imperceptibly with her chopsticks after Jiang Yiruan finished speaking. She slowly chewed and swallowed the food in her mouth before looking up at Jiang Yiruan.

"You really want me to go back?"

"Of course I want you to come back, sister. Mom, Dad, and I miss you very much," Jiang Yiruan said with a sweet smile.

However, the emphasized words "Mom and Dad" are unintentionally provocative.

Jiang Siyu smiled softly as she looked at the malice in her eyes.

In the past, if Jiang Yiruan had provoked him like this, he would have definitely slapped her across the face.

But now… she lowered her head and continued eating, then suddenly said casually:

"Since you want me to go back so much, why don't you promise me one thing first?"

Jiang Yiruan frowned imperceptibly, feeling that Jiang Siyu had nothing to scheme against.

But she was the one who spoke first, so it's not an option not to answer now.

After a moment of silence, she said in a seemingly generous and considerate manner, "Tell me, I will definitely do what I can for my sister."
