Lesson 0093
"Did your Aunt Li go back?"
Yao Man rushed back after receiving the news, only to find that the person had already left when she arrived home.
Jiang Jifan said yes.
"Oh dear, I didn't even give her anything to take back..." Yao Man said regretfully as she placed the things she brought back from her relative's house on the coffee table.
"I've given it to you, so don't worry about it." Jiang Jifan stood up and pushed her into the kitchen. "Let me see what delicious food you're going to make tonight."
Tantai Qing glanced at the affectionate scene between the mother and daughter, and then followed them into the kitchen.
"Auntie, let me do it," he volunteered.
“That won’t do.” Yao Man shook her head, then reiterated that he was a guest.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jifan deftly took off the apron from her body, handed it to Tantai Qing, and said with a smile, "Mom, if he wants to show off, just cook for him. He cooks better than you."
"You silly child!" Yao Man scolded her and gently patted her arm.
In the end, she was kicked out of the kitchen.
Jiang Jifan thoughtfully helped Tantai Qing put on an apron. The pink apron looked very comical on him, and she laughed for a long time at his appearance.
Tantai Qing looked at her with a helpless smile.
She patted his back and said, "Let's get started, Chef Dan!"
Everything was fine from the moment he started cooking until the meal, until the unexpected arrival of Jiang Jiping, this uninvited guest.
Jiang Jiping suddenly returned during the meal.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw the man sitting next to Jiang Jifan and immediately frowned, saying, "Jiang Jifan, you brought a strange man home?"
Even Tantai Qing, who had been used to seeing beautiful women since childhood, was momentarily stunned when she saw him for the first time. She thought Jiang Jifan's appearance was already outstanding, but she did not expect that her brother's appearance was even more outstanding. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was as beautiful as a woman.
The man's roguish air largely masked the feminine features on his face, and his peach blossom eyes, similar to Jiang Jifan's, were half-drooping as he looked at them without a trace of emotion.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jifan's face immediately darkened. He slammed his chopsticks on the table and glared at him, warning, "Jiang Jiping, watch your mouth!"
"What? I didn't manage to chop you up that day, so you're home waiting for orders today?"
Tantai Qing stopped her, stood up and walked up to him, smiling faintly, "Jifan's brother, hello, I am Tantai Qing."
Jiang Jiping glanced at his outstretched hand and scoffed disdainfully, "Alright, don't try that on me."
He has a sharp eye and can tell at a glance that the man in front of him is very wealthy.
He turned to look at Jiang Jifan, and for some reason, he just said to her in a sarcastic tone, "Jiang Jifan, you're pretty good, aren't you? You've hooked up with a rich guy to celebrate the New Year with."
"Look at you, what's the point of that aloofness? What a waste of your good looks. If you had found a boss earlier, whether he was the fourth or fifth mistress, our family wouldn't be living like this..."
Jiang Jifan's eyes were bloodshot with rage, and he was trembling with anger, about to erupt.
"hiss!"
Jiang Jiping never expected that the man who had just greeted him so politely would suddenly grab his collar and punch him hard.
When they saw him suddenly knocked to the ground, Yao Man and the others were startled.
Tantai Qing lowered her hand expressionlessly, looked down at the man on the ground, and said in a cold voice, "I will let it go this time because you are Ji Fan's brother. But if you dare to insult her or hit her again next time, it will not be as simple as just a punch."
Once he unleashed the aura of a leader that he had cultivated over many years in the business world, it made people subconsciously feel uneasy.
Even Jiang Jiping, who was usually fearless, was stunned by him. Yu Diandian and Yao Man, in particular, looked at each other in dismay at the stiff scene before them, not daring to breathe.
After he finished speaking, he immediately turned around and apologized to Yao Man with an apologetic smile: "I'm sorry, Auntie, I've bothered you. I'll take my leave now."
Seeing that he intended to leave, Jiang Jifan also stood up and said to Yao Man, "Mom, we're leaving now."
After she took her phone, Tantai Qing took her hand, opened the door, and left without giving them a chance to stop her.
As soon as she stepped out of the house, she couldn't help but shiver.
"It's so cold..."
They had rushed out and forgotten to take their coats. Tantai Qing opened his arms and hugged her, warming her body with his own body heat.
Jiang Jifan turned to look at him, and said with a sigh, "I thought you would never be rude to people."
She had to admit that Tantai Qing, who had just stood up for her and taught the scoundrel a lesson, was more handsome than he had ever been before.
She had always thought that the hero-saves-the-damsel plots in Mary Sue idol dramas were exaggerated, but after her experience just now, Jiang Jifan suddenly understood why those heroines could always easily fall for those "heroes" who saved people from dire straits.
Because a man who would stand up for you regardless of everything is truly captivating.
"This is also the first time I've personally disciplined someone," Tantai Qing said with a slightly embarrassed smile.
There's no point in reasoning with someone like Jiang Jiping; you have to resort to physical force to make him feel the pain and stop his foolish behavior.
Tantai Qing rarely gets angry, because there had never been anything that could make him angry before. But just now, the insulting things Jiang Jiping said to her at her house really angered him.
"Your brother is a terrible person."
It was rare to hear him evaluate someone like that, so Jiang Jifan smiled and echoed his sentiments, saying, "You're right, he's a really terrible person."
However, looking back, she also felt a little strange. In the past, Jiang Jiping would at most argue with her a few words, and most of the time he would let her curse. Moreover, no matter how angry the brother and sister were, he would never say such harsh words. She didn't know what was wrong with him today, as if he had gone crazy.
Tantai Qing guessed that he probably just disliked them and took the opportunity to humiliate them.
"What a waste of your handsome face."
He had an urge to return Jiang Jiping's words to him.
