Chapter 106 [She Got Married]
Jiang Yimian finally finished her work before leaving get off work, packed up the leftovers, grabbed her bag, and left.
As soon as the two entered the elevator, Tan Yusu received a call from Tan Sijin.
"Brother, you've come to pick me up? That's great! Okay, I'll come down right away."
Jiang Yimian: "Isn't Brother Sijin busy with work today?"
Tan Yusu happily put her phone away, "Sigh, even workaholics need to rest."
When the two arrived downstairs, Tan Sijin's car was parked not far away, and Master Zhang also drove his car over.
Tan Sijin got out of the car and looked at Jiang Yimian. "Since Yimian is here too, let's go eat together."
Since he took the initiative to invite her, Jiang Yimian naturally couldn't refuse. Tan Yusu took her arm and said, "My brother is treating us to dinner, we have to make him pay for it."
Master Zhang was taken aback: "Madam."
"Master Zhang, you can go back now and come pick me up later."
Master Zhang nodded. "Okay."
Several people came out of the company gate, and Xie Ming, the director of the planning department, watched as Jiang Yimian got into Tan Sijin's car.
Something strange flashed in his eyes. Could it be that Jiang Yimian and Tan Sijin were also quite close?
Once inside Tan Sijin's car, the incense inside was a woody fragrance that smelled of pine.
Calm and serene, which perfectly matches Tan Sijin's character.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, Tan Sijin gentlemanly moved chairs for the two ladies. Tan Yusu, resting her chin on her hand, couldn't help but sigh, "There aren't many men as gentlemanly as my brother anymore. It's just a pity he doesn't know how to date."
Tan Sijin, who was constantly told she was single, glanced at her and said, "Your mouth isn't suited for talking."
Tan Yusu scoffed, "I'm doing this for your own good."
Tan Sijin handed the tablet to Jiang Yimian, "Mianmian, don't be shy about what you want to eat."
Jiang Yimian accepted it with both hands, "Thank you, Brother Sijin."
Tan Yusu's eyes lingered on her older brother, and she felt something was off.
During the rest of the meal, Tan Sijin didn't talk much, but he always prioritized Jiang Yimian, which led Tan Yusu to make a bold guess.
Her pupils contracted, and she pursed her lips. Could my brother have a crush on Mianmian?
How come I never noticed this before?
By minimizing her presence, Tan Yusu could increasingly sense Tan Sijin's motives.
If my brother steals someone else's wife, then Mianmian will be my sister-in-law in the future.
But my brother is great! He's so much better than that beast Bo Jinzhou.
Now that Mianmian and I are family, we're even closer.
They can also be spared from suffering.
Why didn't I think of that?
If the two of them had been brought together sooner, Mianmian wouldn't have had to suffer so much.
Suddenly she thought of her parents, who were old-fashioned and extremely concerned with their reputation. Given Mianmian's previous status, they would definitely not have agreed.
She couldn't help but feel sad for her brother; no wonder he hadn't done it before.
This happiness was thus destroyed by my parents.
If my brother ends up alone, it's their fault.
Tan Yusu's mind was already racing with all sorts of random thoughts, and she didn't hear Jiang Yimian call her twice.
She suddenly realized, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Yimian blinked. "I said this pork chop is delicious, do you want to try it?"
“Okay,” she said, reaching for the fork and giving her evaluation: “It’s really not bad.”
She secretly texted her brother.
Brother, should I excuse myself for a moment?
Tan Sijin's phone rang, but he didn't look at it.
Tan Yusu was anxious and kicked him. Tan Sijin looked at her in confusion.
Tan Yusu winked and gestured for him to look at her phone.
Although Tan Sijin didn't understand, she still did as instructed.
His eyes darkened. "If you've eaten too much, then shut up."
Tan Yusu rolled her eyes: [Don't think I don't know what you're up to. Have you got your eye on my Mianmian?]
The reply came quickly: 【No.】
Don't talk nonsense.
Tan Yusu: [Look, look, you're feeling guilty!]
Why else would you reply to me so quickly?
Tan Sijin ignored her, but Tan Yusu continued to bombard him with messages. Tan Sijin's phone kept ringing. Jiang Yimian swallowed the spaghetti in her mouth and said, "Brother Sijin, why don't you deal with your work first?"
Tan Sijin looked at her, nodded silently, and picked up her phone.
[Tan Yusu, eat properly, don't make me scold you.]
Tan Yusu curled her lip: "No, unless you admit you like Mianmian. I'm not trying to be mean, but if you like her, just say so. How will anyone know if you keep it a secret?"
[At your rate, when will you ever find a partner?]
[With someone like me right next to you, you didn't even think to reach for the moon.]
Tan Sijin stared intently at those words for a long time before finally typing on the keyboard: "She got married."
Tan Yusu was so excited she almost jumped up. She got up and said she was going to the bathroom, then started typing like crazy.
She's leaving immediately.
Tan Sijin: [?]
[Mianmian doesn't like Bo Jinzhou, and they'll divorce soon. If you're a man, step forward now to help Mianmian. Only when they divorce will you have a chance to take her place.]
Tan Sijin thought for a moment, then put down her phone. "Excuse me, I need to go to the restroom."
Jiang Yimian nodded blankly. What was wrong with these two siblings? They were both running to the bathroom.
Tan Sijin caught Tan Yusu outside the bathroom, pinched her ear, and said, "Tan Yusu, don't speak without thinking."
Tan Yusu curled up in pain, "I didn't, it's true."
"Brother, let go first."
“Mianmian has no real feelings for Bo Jinzhou now; she’s just using him. If you help Mianmian solve her problem first, then what will Bo Jinzhou have to do with it?”
Tan Sijin: "What are you plotting?"
Tan Yusu chuckled, "I can't say that. If you want to know, you can only ask Mianmian. I'll tell you in detail once she decides to tell you."
"In short, if you want Mianmian to like you, you can't keep hiding like a coward."
Tan Sijin's expression was serious, and after a long while, he said, "I understand."
Seeing that he had given in, Tan Yusu immediately said, "You've finally figured it out?"
"Let's eat first."
"Brother, tell me first, when did you start liking Mianmian?"
"Don't worry about such things, kids."
Tan Yusu scoffed, "I'm the same age as Mianmian, does that mean Mianmian is a child too?"
These words left Tan Sijin speechless. "Let's eat first, we can talk about the rest later."
The brother and sister went back together, and Jiang Yimian joked, "Did you meet in the bathroom?"
Su smiled and said, "Yes."
“Mianmian, my brother will take you later, so you don’t need to ask Master Zhang to come over.”
Jiang Yimian looked at Tan Yusu's smiling face and thought she was acting strangely. "No need, it's too much trouble. Yunduan and Tanzhai are in different directions."
Tan Sijin said calmly, "It's alright, it doesn't matter."
"That's right, that's right, my brother said it's fine."
"...That's troublesome."
Tan Sijin looked at her, "It's no trouble at all."
Jiang Yimian was taken aback, then lowered her eyelashes.
The two girls chatted and laughed as they walked out of the restaurant hand in hand.
Suddenly, I caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of my eye.
Jiang Yimian looked ahead and saw Bo Jinzhou; the two hadn't seen each other for four days.
Bo Jinzhou would video call her almost every night, but he didn't say he would be back today.
Bo Jinzhou straightened up and walked towards Jiang Yimian, his sharp eyes sweeping over Tan Sijin.
Why are you back?
Bo Jinzhou grasped her hand, his dark eyes fixed on her. "What, you don't welcome me?"
"No, it's just a bit of a surprise."
Bo Jinzhou looked at Tan Sijin, and the atmosphere between the two suddenly became somewhat tense. "Brother Sijin, we'll head back now."
Tan Sijin nodded slightly, her expression unchanged.
Tan Yusu was starting to worry for him. Why did Bo Jinzhou have to come back at this time?
