Seeing Zhou Yancheng's affection for Jiang Tian, ​​Jiang Qing felt a little embarrassed, while Chen Fenglie's eyes flashed with coldness and contempt.

Jiang Tian glanced helplessly at Zhou Yancheng, then made room for the two of them: "Come in."

As the two stepped into the small house, it had to be said that Jiang Tian was very good at tidying up. Although the house was small, it was very cozy and tidy, and very clean.

The owner of the house clearly knows how to enjoy life.

Jiang Qing and Chen Fenglie sat side by side on the sofa.

Jiang Tian and Zhou Yancheng went to the kitchen together to pour tea for them.

Unable to resist nudging Zhou Yancheng with her elbow, Jiang Tian looked at him and said, "There's no tea at home. You brought this person in, so why don't you go and buy some?"

Zhou Yancheng approached the refrigerator, reached out and pulled out two tea bags from the top: "Let them drink these."

These are tea bags that the restaurant gave them as a gift when they ordered takeout. At most, they cost no more than two yuan.

Zhou Yancheng wanted to throw it away a couple of days ago but forgot and put it on top of the refrigerator, so it's fine for the two of them to use and not a waste.

"you……"

"Anyway, they don't drink it."

Zhou Yancheng worked quickly and soon had the soup ready for them.

Jiang Tian could only watch as he brought the tea over.

Jiang Tian and Zhou Yancheng were talking in the kitchen, while Jiang Qing and Chen Fenglie were chatting with Chen Fenglie in the living room.

"My sister seems to have a good relationship with Zhou Yancheng."

Chen Fenglie didn't speak, only replying with an "Mm".

If Jiang Qing didn't know that Chen Fenglie had absolutely no feelings for Jiang Tian, ​​she would have suspected that he was jealous.

"Let's have some tea."

Zhou Yancheng brought two cups of tea.

Jiang Qing gave a polite smile: "Thank you."

Chen Fenglie nodded slightly, casually picked it up and took a sip, then paused, swallowing it without making a sound.

Jiang Tian and Zhou Yancheng sat down opposite them.

Jiang Tian spoke first, asking, "What's the matter?"

"Just say you heard that your brother-in-law had a concussion and you wanted to come and see him."

"He's fine, he can leave after he's finished reading."

The two sisters had always had a lukewarm relationship; Jiang Qing had never had any interest in Jiang Tian before.

At the Jiang family home, she would greet the nanny but would never call Jiang Tian "sister".

Later, Jiang Qing went abroad and gradually learned about human relationships. She also realized that it was abnormal to ignore Jiang Tian and that it would affect other people's opinions of her.

It was only through Jiang Qing's intervention that the relationship between the two sisters was thawed.

There's no such thing as a free lunch; Jiang Qing's visit is definitely not for anything good.

Jiang Qing's expression stiffened for a moment; she knew that her sudden arrival had been somewhat rash.

However, she inadvertently learned that Chen Fenglie had deliberately caused trouble for Zhou Yancheng to vent her anger and had even injured Zhou Yancheng, which made her feel uneasy.

Yesterday, Jiang Qing received a call from her old friend saying that he would be coming to visit soon, and she couldn't sit still any longer.

My old friend is of high status and is willing to travel a long distance; he wouldn't do it just to see her.

She knew it was definitely the jade pendant that was the attraction.

But the jade pendant is no longer with her. She has been asking around these past few days to see if there is any similar jade.

That jade pendant is genuine imperial green, and it was carved by a retired master craftsman. It's something that could be passed down as a family heirloom; you won't find anything better.

Having no other choice, and unable to find anyone better, she had to beg Jiang Tian for help.

Facing her older sister, whom she had always looked down upon, Jiang Qing found it difficult to speak.

She hesitated, but Chen Fenglie remained calm and composed. He looked at Jiang Tian and said, "Jiang Qing wants to borrow your jade pendant to have her friend appraise it in a while. She's letting you know in advance."

Chen Fenglie started the conversation, and Jiang Qing nodded in agreement: "Yes. A friend of mine is coming to visit soon, and he really admires this jade. Sister, could you lend it to me for a few days? I will definitely take good care of it. If possible, I can also give you a reward."

"Any amount is fine, or I could give you a house. This small house is too small for people to even leave."

Chen Fenglie's tone was condescending and disdainful.

"You've come to ask for my opinion, not to rob me, right, Jiang Qing?"

Jiang Tian did not express her opinion on Chen Fenglie's promise, but instead looked at Jiang Qing.

Jiang Qing's expression darkened. She was a person who cared about her reputation, so of course she wouldn't openly rob someone.

"Yes, sister, I just want you to make an exception for me. I've worn that jade for over ten years and have always taken good care of it. If you lend it to me, I promise I won't let it get damaged in any way."

"Since you've come to ask for my opinion, I have the right to refuse. I'm sorry, I don't want to lend it to you."

Jiang Tian spoke calmly, without the aggressive demeanor she displayed last time.

But she just wouldn't lend it.

Jiang Qing's expression turned completely ugly.

Chen Fenglie frowned: "You can lend it to her and get some benefits in return. She won't keep it for herself. It's just for a few days. Will helping others harm you?"

Jiang Tian fell silent.

Zhou Yancheng spoke up from the side: "Do you two understand what my wife means? The items belong to her, and she is free to choose whether to lend them or not."

The atmosphere was somewhat tense.

Chen Fenglie tapped his fingers lightly on his leg, a habitual way of thinking.

He looked at Zhou Yancheng, then suddenly remembered something and smiled.

"I heard you weren't doing well at your old company, and you were always being bullied? You were also betrayed by your boss not long ago, which is why you got beaten up, right?"

Zhou Yancheng frowned.

Everyone here is a smart person; once Chen Fenglie uttered those words, they understood what he meant.

Sure enough, Chen Fenglie turned to Jiang Tian and said, "If you are willing to lend the jade pendant to Qingqing, I can give you an apartment and help Zhou Yancheng find a new job."

"He failed to seize power and went bankrupt, and now he has to make a living under the noses of the Zhou family. It's too hard for him. With his education and abilities, he could have found a much better place to go."

Zhou Yancheng secretly squeezed Jiang Tian's hand.

Jiang Tian looked at Chen Fenglie and said calmly, "Zhou Yancheng is not you."

"What?" Chen Fenglie didn't understand for a moment.

"He doesn't need his wife to wash dishes in his boss's kitchen for a month for the sake of his future, nor does he need his wife to bow down and do things she doesn't want to do for him."

Upon hearing the first half of her sentence, Chen Fenglie's pupils constricted and his face turned ashen!

Jiang Qing, who was listening nearby, immediately understood what Jiang Tian meant.

Only Zhou Yancheng looked at Jiang Tian with a pained expression.

What kind of life did she lead before?

The result was naturally an unpleasant ending.

Jiang Qing couldn't accept the part of their married life that Jiang Tian had described. She knew it wasn't easy for Chen Fenglie to rise to power, but she couldn't bear to see his wife doing that kind of thing!

Suppressing his anger, Chen Fenglie gave a malicious smile before leaving: "It seems Jiang Tian is about to fall head over heels for you."

Zhou Yancheng stared at him, his eyes dark and deep.

"How did you do that? Did you also hire a group of thugs, and when she was about to be bullied, did you pretend to be a hero and stand up for her?"
