Chapter 4 Long Time No See
4
Upon hearing the word "older sister," Jiang Siyu subconsciously frowned.
From the moment Jiang Yiruan and her daughter were brought back to the Jiang family, this title clung to her like a maggot.
This feeling wouldn't kill Jiang Siyu, but it disgusted her constantly.
Especially!
The father, who had always doted on Jiang Yiruan since she was little, said the most frequent thing after bringing Jiang Yiruan and her mother back home:
"To avoid affecting your college entrance exam, Ruanruan and her mother endured hardship for eighteen years."
They, mother and daughter, have sacrificed so much for your future, why are you arguing with them over something so worthless now?
"Besides, you're the older sister. As the older sister, what's wrong with you giving in to your younger sister?"
What a load of bull!
Jiang Yiruan's so-called birth date was less than two months later than her own.
Also, what does it mean that it won't affect their college entrance exams, which is why Jiang Yiruan and her daughter have never been brought back?
The reason why the mother and daughter were not brought back was that their maternal grandparents secretly put pressure on Jiang Dingbang after learning about the matter.
Jiang Dingbang's desire to become the group's chairman will inevitably require the support of the major shareholders.
Jiang Siyu's maternal grandfather is the company's second-largest shareholder and has many supporters within the company.
Without his maternal grandfather's support, Jiang Dingbang's dream of becoming chairman was simply wishful thinking.
Therefore, even after he finished his college entrance examination, Jiang Dingbang did not dare to bring Jiang Yiruan and her daughter back.
Until my grandfather died in a car accident, my grandmother, unable to accept this tragedy, suffered a sudden heart attack and passed away...
After that, Jiang Dingbang became the chairman of the group, and Jiang Yiruan and her daughter were naturally brought back.
Thinking of these things, Jiang Siyu unconsciously clenched her right hand, which was hanging by her side.
Noticing Jiang Siyu stop, Fu Lin turned her head to look at her in confusion:
"Ayu, what's wrong?"
Fu Lin is a few years older than Jiang Siyu, and she only called her "sister" just now to tease her.
Upon noticing Jiang Siyu's unusual mood, Fu Lin almost instantly guessed the reason.
She opened her mouth, about to apologize, but Jiang Siyu gently rubbed her head, which was nestled in her arms:
“It sounds so nice when our big star calls us ‘sister’.”
Although it's the same title, Fu Lin's pronunciation is soft and affected!
Hmm... It's so cute and charming.
Unlike Jiang Yiruan, who is purely disgusting.
Hearing the teasing in Jiang Siyu's tone, Fu Lin's sense of apology was soothed.
Fu Lin tentatively asked, "When are you planning to go back to the Jiang family?"
"No rush," Jiang Siyu replied, "Let's eat first."
She will definitely return to the Jiang family, but it can't be on her own initiative.
As soon as Jiang Dingbang learned that she and the president of DY were attending the dinner together, he immediately contacted her.
After confirming that he would be returning to China, he acted like a loving father and booked his plane ticket for him. He was so meticulous that he even arranged for the mobile phone and SIM card he would need after returning to China and delivered them to him in advance.
Jiang Siyu absolutely did not believe that Jiang Dingbang's eagerness and thoughtfulness stemmed from his longing for his daughter, whom he had not seen for many years.
Therefore, the more Jiang Dingbang wanted to return to the Jiang family as soon as possible, the less eager Jiang Siyu was to go back.
She wasn't the one who could profit.
"Ms. Fu, you've arrived." As she spoke, the person in charge of this floor came up to greet her.
The two followed him toward the private room, and as they passed the door of one of the rooms, the door was suddenly pulled open.
A melodious piano tune drifted out from inside, accompanied by a gasp of surprise.
"Jiang Siyu?!"
The air seemed to freeze instantly, and the group of people in the private room, each doing their own thing, all turned to look at the door.
Jiang Siyu, who was passing by, stopped and turned slightly to look inside, her gaze passing over the girl who came out of the door.
With her limited perspective, Jiang Siyu couldn't see much, let alone identify who had just exclaimed her name in surprise.
Just as she casually looked away and prepared to lift her foot, the girl who had been blocking Jiang Siyu's view turned sideways and opened the door completely.
As she cleared the way, everyone in the private room stood up and moved closer, eager to confirm whether the person outside was really Jiang Siyu.
Standing right in the middle of this group was Ji Yanheng.
The piano music in the private room stopped at some point.
Jiang Siyu's gaze, which had not yet been completely averted, was fixed on Ji Yanheng.
Neither the excitement nor resentment she had imagined upon seeing an old friend materialized. Jiang Siyu simply looked calmly at Ji Yanheng, whose expression betrayed no discernible emotion, whether excitement or something else.
A few seconds later, she smiled confidently.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
"Okay, long time no see," Ji Yanheng said, but his throat felt dry for a moment.
People who are usually calm and collected are now feeling quite lost.
He stared intently at the person a few steps away, took a deep breath to calm his racing heart, and then walked calmly to Jiang Siyu, just as he always had.
Ji Yanheng: "Want to eat the food here?"
Jiang Siyu gave a soft "hmm," seemingly in response to Ji Yanheng's question, but her peripheral vision fell on the face in the private room that couldn't hide its resentment and jealousy.
Jiang Yiruan... it's been so long since we last met.
The smile on her lips deepened.
The moment that smile bloomed, her already radiant face became even more captivating.
Ji Yanheng gazed intently at the smile on her face: "What would you like to eat? I'll have someone prepare it."
Jiang Siyu withdrew her gaze, looked up at the person already standing in front of her, and shook her head:
"Today I'm treating our big star Fu to dinner, so I apologize."
"Since that's the case," even after being rejected, Ji Yanheng maintained his gentle and warm attitude.
"As a friend, could you please entertain me as well?"
"Huh?" Jiang Siyu looked at Ji Yanheng, who seemed to have hardly changed from back then, with a puzzled expression, and then said sarcastically in a low voice:
"You stood me up, and you still have the nerve to eat my food?"
As she said this, she gave a slight purse of her lips. Her words seemed to carry a hint of resentment, but her nonchalant tone suggested that she didn't really care about the matter.
After saying this, he simply turned and left, not giving Ji Yanheng a chance to speak again.
However, as she and Ji Yanheng passed each other, her shoulder bumped into Ji Yanheng's arm, causing him to stagger unprepared.
As Jiang Siyu walked into another private room without looking back, Ji Yanheng couldn't tear his gaze away.
"Aheng, is your sister angry?" Jiang Yiruan walked to Ji Yanheng's side, looking at the slowly closing door and said with self-reproach:
"It's all my fault. If I had gone home by myself yesterday, you wouldn't have stood my sister up because you were coming to pick me up."
"It's none of your business."
Ji Yanheng rubbed the spot where Jiang Siyu had bumped into him; it felt numb and a little painful.
The force was so great, it's clear she was still angry with herself.
Realizing this, a smile spread across Ji Yanheng's usually emotionless eyes.
“Ayu won’t get angry at people who are unimportant.”
He paused, then continued firmly, "She's angry at me."
