Chapter 38 The rumors are unbelievable

When Jiang Tingwan came out of the box, the light from the corridor reflected her expressionless face.

Unexpectedly, the white-haired man hadn't left yet.

He leaned against the wall, one hand in his pocket, slightly tilted his head, and looked at her with interest, with a faint smile on the corner of his lips.

Is she the gentle and intellectual eldest daughter of the Jiang family as rumored? Interesting.

Ruan Yue stood behind Jiang Tingwan, her face a little pale, her fingers unconsciously clenched the corner of her clothes.

The air stagnated for a moment.

"elder brother?"

Jiang Tingwan suddenly spoke in a soft voice, but her eyes passed the white-haired man and looked towards the end of the corridor.

The white-haired man raised his eyebrows and looked back along her line of sight——

Jiang Shixu stood there without knowing when.

His gaze first fell on Jiang Tingwan, then he frowned slightly and moved his eyes downward.

"Does it hurt?"

He spoke, his voice low.

Jiang Tingwan was stunned for a moment, then realized that he was asking about her feet.

He saw and heard it all.

She looked down at the pair of high heels on her feet.

The corners of her mouth twitched. What kind of thinking was this guy having?

"It's okay. These shoes fit me well."

Jiang Shixu didn't say anything. He glanced at the mess in the box and then glanced at the white-haired man with a slightly gloomy look in his eyes.

Jiang Tingwan didn't look at him again. She turned around and gently patted Ruan Yue's back, whispering soothing words.

"Are you scared?"

Ruan Yue shook her head, her eyes still a little red, but she tried hard not to show any fear.

Jiang Tingwan then looked at the white-haired man, and a perfect smile appeared on the corner of her lips, distant yet polite.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. Thank you for helping me today." She paused and said gently, "May I ask who you are?"

The white-haired man chuckled, his eyes wandering between her and Ruan Yue for a moment, finally fixing on Jiang Tingwan's face.

He said in a lazy voice: "Si Yan."

manage?

A hint of surprise flashed across Jiang Tingwan's eyes.

The Si family is a military and political family. The old man is a retired leader of the province. The eldest son is currently the director of the Finance Bureau, a typical child of a high-ranking official.

But she remembered that among the young people of the Si family, apart from the married director of the Finance Bureau, there was only a young son who was still studying abroad...

So she didn't pay much attention to it.

She looked at Si Yan calmly.

This guy dyed his hair white, and he looks completely different from the Finance Director.

"It turned out to be Mr. Si."

Jiang Tingwan's smile did not diminish, and her tone was still gentle, "I will definitely come to thank you some other day."

Si Yan didn't respond, but just looked at her meaningfully. Then his eyes slid to Ruan Yue behind her, curled the corners of his lips slightly, and turned and left.

His back was tall and straight, and his black leather jacket flashed at the end of the corridor before disappearing.

Jiang Shixu didn't ask anything, just waved his hand.

So the assistant who had just been called went to discuss with the bodyguard what had just happened and what Jiang Tingwan had said.

She didn't say anything more and pulled Ruan Yue out.

When I walked downstairs, I saw Chen Ping's men waiting at the door for a long time.

Only after seeing Jiang Tingwan nod did they dare to rush in hastily.

-------------------------------------------

The heater in the car was on high, but Ruan Yue's face became paler and paler.

Her fingers that were clutching the hem of her skirt were trembling slightly, and her knuckles were white, as if she had not yet recovered from the shock just now.

Jiang Tingwan glanced at her sideways, frowning slightly - she should have let someone take her away first.

She reached out and gently placed her hand on the back of Ruan Yue's cold hand, her tone softening.

"Are you scared?"

Ruan Yue's eyelashes trembled and she shook her head, her voice as thin as a mosquito.

"…I am the one who caused trouble for my sister."

Jiang Tingwan tapped the back of her hand soothingly with his fingertips.

"If he dares to touch you, he should think about the consequences."

Ruan Yue raised her head, a trace of panic still lingering in her eyes.

"But...will the Chen family retaliate against you?"

"revenge?"

Jiang Tingwan raised her eyebrows and said in a light tone, "Let alone father and grandfather, just my brother sitting here——"

She glanced at the man in the passenger seat, her lips curled slightly, "The Chen family doesn't even have the courage to retaliate."

"It's just a few fingers. Chen Ping had to swallow it even if his teeth were broken."

Jiang Tingwan was undisguisedly indifferent at this moment; perhaps this was her true nature.

Jiang Shixu looked over in the rearview mirror.

His gaze lingered on Ruan Yue's pale face for a moment, then moved to Jiang Tingwan.

She met his gaze, her eyes calm and peaceful.

She didn't care what Jiang Shixu thought of her.

Besides, this is not the first time this has happened.

Most of the children from aristocratic families are gentle and polite, but no one takes them seriously.

If the people of the Jiang family are indecisive and soft-hearted, they will become abandoned.

It is understandable that Ruan Yue could not accept such means for the time being as he had been living away from home for many years.

-------------------------------------------

The terrace of the suburban villa hangs high above the cliff.

The night wind was blowing, making Si Yan's white hair fly in disarray.

He sat on the edge of the fence, with a hundred-meter abyss behind him and the brightly lit city night scene in front of him.

Without guardrails or protection, he was like a lazy beast perched on the edge of a cliff, ready to fall into darkness at any moment, yet not caring at all.

Bend one leg and rest your elbow casually on your knee.

In his other hand he held the phone to his ear.

"Help me check Miss Jiang."

His voice still had a hint of boyishness, mixed with a hint of playfulness.

"No, not the one called Jiang Tingwan."

The night wind blew into the receiver, and the person on the other end of the phone seemed to be confirming something.

Si Yan raised his lips into an evil smile, his eyes full of interest.

"What I want to check... is another one."

"Yes...it should be. Send me the photo."

After hanging up the phone, he looked up at the dark night sky and chuckled.

Originally, he felt extremely bored when his brother forced him to return home.

Socializing with the powerful and family responsibilities are all boring.

The Jiang family is well-known, but the rumors say that Jiang Shixu is cold and rigid, while Jiang Tingwan is gentle and intellectual, which makes them boring to listen to.

But today I saw——

He narrowed his eyes and thought of the woman outside the box who seemed gentle but was actually cruel.

And the woman who had a blank expression on her face but was trembling in her arms.

"Rumors are really not credible..."

He murmured, and suddenly jumped up -

"Master!"

The servant behind him was so frightened that he rushed forward.

Si Yan landed steadily on the terrace, as light as a cheetah.

The servants turned pale and were sweating profusely.

They were all sent by the eldest brother of the Si family, nominally to take care of the young master, but in reality to prevent him from doing anything shocking again.

Si Yanman walked into the living room, but his eyes were fixed on the TV screen.

Today's financial news was playing on it, and the Jiang Group's logo flashed by.

He suddenly laughed.

"interesting."
