"Alright, I understand, little brother," Zhao Nianmeng felt increasingly guilty, so she spoke softly, "I'm not a three-year-old anymore. Don't worry, Xiao Zhang and Xiao Wang will take me home. I'll definitely call you later, okay?"
After hearing Zhao Nianmeng's words, Jiang Sheng finally gave up.
After hanging up the phone, he sat down on the sofa, his face instantly turning grim.
Jiang Sheng couldn't think of anyone else besides Lin Jiafu from the factory who could make his older sister lie to him.
His unease grew stronger, and at that moment, Zhao Defu also quickly came over.
"Brother Sheng, you don't look too good. What's going on? Is it because your older sister called that you need to work overtime?"
This isn't just working overtime, it's practically a date with a jerk!
To avoid worrying Zhao Defu, Jiang Sheng patted him on the shoulder and calmly said, "Don't worry, my sister is just having dinner with some friends from the factory. I'm just worried about his safety, I don't have any other thoughts."
"Oh, I see!"
Zhao Defu nodded knowingly, and then quickly said, "How about this, since you'll be waiting for Second Sister later anyway, why don't you leave Eldest Sister to me? I'll go pick her up when she's about to get off work!"
Jiang Sheng was completely at ease knowing that Zhao Defu would be the one to pick up Zhao Nianmeng.
However, Zhao Nianmeng had already said on the phone that she didn't need anyone to pick her up, and Jiang Sheng had agreed to that.
It's indeed somewhat inappropriate to have Zhao Defu responsible for picking up and dropping off Zhao Nianmeng.
Thinking this, Jiang Sheng shook his head at Zhao Defu: "I don't think it will work. You shouldn't pick up my older sister..."
Why?
Before Jiang Sheng could finish explaining, Zhao Defu interrupted him, looking quite puzzled, "Although I often speak without thinking, an elder sister is an elder sister. I know what's important and what's not, and I would never have any improper thoughts. You wouldn't doubt me even for this, would you?"
You've misunderstood me.
Jiang Sheng explained somewhat helplessly, "I can't explain this to you in a short time. It's a bit complicated. In short, you can't accept my older sister, but you can secretly follow her."
"Following, tracking? Brother Sheng, what's going on? What's going on?"
Zhao Defu was even more puzzled, so Jiang Sheng had to explain it to him in a few words.
"In short, there's a scumbag who's after my older sister. If you trust me, just do as I say. Anyway, I would never harm my older sister, understand?"
After listening to the whole thing, Zhao Defu was a little incredulous, but he also felt that Jiang Sheng was making a fuss over nothing.
"I believe you that your second sister has a scumbag boyfriend, but your eldest sister's boyfriend is probably just a guy who's pursuing her."
Zhao Defu didn't take it seriously either, and instead patted Jiang Sheng on the shoulder to comfort him.
"I think you shouldn't make a fuss. With your older sister's standards, she's definitely not someone that just any man would be interested in. Don't worry, you can put away your paranoia."
Jiang Sheng knew Zhao Defu wouldn't believe him, but he was too lazy to explain, so he just patted Zhao Defu on the back.
“When have I ever lied to you, Brother Sheng? I’m just worried about my sister’s affairs. Besides, that kid was secretly trying to transfer the factory’s state-owned assets a while ago. If I hadn’t found out, my sister’s factory would have been in trouble long ago!”
Jiang Sheng had no choice but to briefly explain to Zhao Defu the matter of Lin Jiafu's attempt to secretly transfer state-owned assets some time ago.
Looking at Zhao Defu's shocked expression, it was clear that he wanted to get to the bottom of things.
Jiang Sheng quickly raised his hands in surrender: "Alright, I'll explain everything to you slowly later. In short, your task now is to secretly follow my older sister. No matter what happens in between, you must tell me everything when you come back, understand?"
Zhao Defu dared not waste any time. Looking at Jiang Sheng's serious expression, he knew that the other party was definitely not lying to him.
"Since you've said so, Brother Sheng, I'll definitely handle this matter perfectly for you. Don't worry!"
Although he felt like a hundred cat claws were scratching at his heart, Zhao Defu was itching to know the truth.
But he knew this wasn't the time to pry, so he simply nodded, listened to a few more words of advice from Jiang Sheng, and then left.
However, before leaving, Jiang Sheng called him back.
"Is there anything else, Brother Sheng?"
Jiang Sheng took a pen and paper, wrote a line of numbers on it, and then handed it to Zhao Defu.
"What is this?" Zhao Defu asked in confusion.
"This is my second sister's workplace phone number. Once my eldest sister is safely home, call me here immediately so I can feel at ease."
"Oh, I understand."
Zhao Defu nodded knowingly, took the paper, and quickly left.
After Zhao Defu had completely left, Jiang Sheng finally snapped out of his daze, tidied up briefly, and then made a phone call to his second sister.
Second sister Zhao Xuehui had just finished dinner and was preparing for the evening's recording.
She was sitting not far from the phone, her eyes glancing at it every now and then, looking distracted.
Sun Yuanyuan, who was not far away, seemed to know the situation perfectly well, and chuckled as she moved closer to Zhao Xuehui.
"Xue'er, I think you're waiting for our little brother to come over, aren't you?"
Before Zhao Xuehui could react, she patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Don't worry, didn't our brother say he would come today? He will definitely come. You've been waiting for him so long."
After being teased by Sun Yuanyuan, Zhao Xuehui blushed deeply. To hide his embarrassment and shyness, he could only reach out and touch Sun Yuanyuan's armpit.
"Serves you right for making fun of me. If you keep talking so sharp-tongued, I'm going to ask the boss to let you switch shifts with me!"
Sun Yuanyuan couldn't help but giggle and quickly raised her hands to beg for mercy.
"Oh dear, dear sister, I was wrong, Xue'er, I promise I won't say anything nonsense again, okay? Please stop..."
The two girls were laughing on the phone when it suddenly rang.
As soon as the phone rang, Zhao Xuehui quickly stopped what she was doing and, like an arrow released from a bow, stood next to the phone almost instantly.
"Hello, is this your little brother?"
The call was naturally from Jiang Sheng. Upon hearing his second sister's voice on the other end of the line, a gentle smile appeared on Jiang Sheng's face.
"It's me, second sister. Have you had dinner yet? How about I bring some over for you and the other sisters to have as a late-night snack?"
