Jiang Can couldn't help but laugh out loud and punched him twice.
"I talked to Lao Bai on the phone," Huo Zhixing began to fabricate seriously. "He and Yao Wanyin have been getting along well lately. They're looking for trendy online stores every day, and this time they found another one... They even said they wanted us to try it out!"
Jiang Can blinked. "Is he really interested in Wan Yin? Or is it just a passing fancy, and he'll stop caring once the novelty wears off?"
Huo Zhixing smiled gently, "Although Lao Bai comes from a prominent family and is usually carefree and sometimes even a bit frivolous... I can guarantee that he is one of the best men in the world."
"Wow, I didn't expect you to think so highly of him!" Jiang Can's doe eyes sparkled playfully. "So, are you trying to tell me that if your friends are all this great, then you must be an even more exceptional man?"
"Anyway, birds of a feather flock together," Huo Zhixing said seriously. "I'm not being modest, and anyone who can be my brother is naturally no bad!"
"Okay, I've struck gold, is that enough?"
"I've struck gold." Huo Zhixing took her small hand in his, a doting smile curving his lips, his eyes filled with love that melted like malt sugar.
He leaned close to her ear and said, word by word, clearly, "The person who can be my wife is naturally...one of a kind in this world!"
Jiang Can blushed slightly and smiled with her head down.
This man has a pleasant voice, and he speaks in a pleasant way. And lately, he's been whispering sweet nothings in her ear in that same pleasant voice…
Is this going to make her swoon?!
Last week, when she went back to her parents' home, Yin Wenxi praised her for looking even more beautiful as soon as she entered the door.
She was somewhat surprised, because she knew all too well how high Yoon Moon-hee's standards and how strict her requirements were for the word "beautiful."
It turns out that love is truly the best cosmetic for women.
When you meet the right person, the happiness that comes from within radiates a unique charm, making you look radiant.
"What are you laughing at?" Huo Zhixing looked at her intently.
Jiang Can looked up and met his deep eyes, and said softly with a smile, "I was thinking, God is really good to us. Not only are the two of us together, but Sister Yuqing and Brother Shan have also gotten married, and now even Bai Jingyuan and Wanyin have become a couple!"
Huo Zhixing nodded.
Yes, you'll soon find out that Ye Chen and Tang Yilan are also involved...
Actually, Huo Zhixing had this little plan in mind just now. Although Tang Yilan's orientation is normal, people get into character after playing a role for a long time.
What if Tang Yilan's sexual orientation changes one day after she's been playing the tomboy for so long?
Wouldn't she steal his heart away then?
So, he, who had originally been thinking of quickly bringing Shen Xiao and Huo Zhixin together, immediately made up his mind that he could put his sister's matter aside for the time being.
The priority is to get Ye Chen to take Tang Yilan away!
"Zhixing," Jiang Can said softly, "not only should we be happy, but we should also make the people around us happy! Right?"
"Yes, that's right!" Huo Zhixing smiled, about to mention that Tang Yilan liked Ye Chen, but the little woman beat him to it.
"Our friends are all in pairs, but we can't forget about our elders!"
"Huh?" Huo Zhixing was taken aback.
"So I need to arrange for Mom to meet Uncle Yin again as soon as possible!"
...
The central city enjoyed several sunny days, while Jiangzhou experienced continuous rain.
Sometimes there are even two hailstorms, and the temperature drops unexpectedly.
Jiang Mingyuan's empty office felt lifeless. He had also caught a cold and, coincidentally, hadn't brought an umbrella when he went out that day, getting soaked in the rain.
Even at home, things weren't peaceful.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Gu Mang, who was staying at home and refusing to leave.
This thing has been here for over a year; it was sent by Huo Zhiyan. After it arrived, he didn't say what to do with it, he just left it there.
At first, Huo Zhiyan gave her money, but later she stopped giving him any.
Gu Mang was a lazy good-for-nothing who only knew how to ask for money. When he couldn't get money, he had a thousand ways to make trouble for the Jiang family.
Even an old fox like Jiang Mingyuan couldn't stand it. Whenever Gu Mang asked for money, he would give it to him, just to buy peace and quiet.
But now, he has no money left.
I can't afford this peace and quiet anymore.
Jiang Mingyuan frowned and quietly made a phone call to Jiang Yao. It took Jiang Yao a long time to answer; her voice was soft and trembling slightly: "Dad, what's wrong?"
"You're always in Yangcheng, have you forgotten you have a home in Jiangzhou?" Jiang Mingyuan launched into a tirade. "What exactly are Young Master Huo planning? How long are you going to keep hiding this Gu Mang?!"
"Dad, I...I don't know."
"You useless thing!" Jiang Mingyuan was furious. "Did you fail to serve Huo Zhiyan properly? Did you make him angry?"
"No……"
"So what exactly does he want?! Are we going to support Gu Mang for the rest of our lives?"
Jiang Yao didn't speak, but Jiang Mingyuan heard a low panting sound coming from the receiver, mixed with a hint of pain.
The call ended quickly. Jiang Mingyuan was annoyed and was about to call back when he heard someone drawling out a cold laugh.
"Of course you have to support me for the rest of my life!"
“You…” Jiang Mingyuan stared at Gu Mang, who was lying on the sofa.
This man hadn't showered in ages; you could smell his sour stench from several meters away. The sofa was also a complete mess.
With all the maids dismissed, Yang Juan was left to clean up the mess all by herself.
Just then, Yang Juan came out with a broom. Seeing the living room, which was so cramped that it was difficult to even find a place to step, she had to restrain herself for a long time to prevent her from breaking down.
Jiang Mingyuan became agitated and snatched the broom, then started hitting Gu Mang wildly.
Gu Mang suddenly stood up and retaliated twice, shoving Jiang Mingyuan against the wall. Jiang Mingyuan's back slammed against the wall, and Yang Juan screamed and ran over, crying her eyes out.
"What terrible things has our family done to deserve this! To run into a scoundrel like you!"
"Ha, what a sin?" Gu Mang said sarcastically. "Auntie, our two families have been friends for generations!"
"Pah!" Yang Juan spat fiercely, "You jinx, not only did you bring death to your whole family, but you also want to bring misfortune to us?"
"Anyway, we're family friends, so you have to support me!" Gu Mang retorted, his eyes wide open, looking ready to fight.
Yang Juan wanted to say something, but Jiang Mingyuan grabbed her arm.
Jiang Mingyuan quietly looked at Gu Mang. He had the same face as Huo Zhixing, yet they were two completely different people. It was truly ironic.
It is said that when Huo Zhanhe and Huo Zhiyan found Gu Mang, they wanted to train him to learn Huo Zhixing's every move.
Ha, how could a bedbug possibly become a dragon soaring through the heavens?
However, if this bedbug is used properly, it might even amount to something big...
Jiang Mingyuan's heart skipped a beat.
Weren't we looking for something to do with Jiang Can? Now, it seems the time has come.
