I didn’t put any instant noodle ingredients in it, but I added several kinds of vegetables and fried eggs.
Jiang Yanmin poured another glass of milk for Peng Yi.
"Just like you." Peng Yi said.
"I can't help it. It's just my personality, I was born with it."
"When will you come?" Peng Yi asked again.
"A moment."
Peng Yi was silent for a long time before he uttered a "hmm." To change the subject, Peng Yi continued, "That night, Peng Yan invited me to dinner."
"Why did he invite you?"
Peng Yi then told him about the day when she served as his translator, and also about the time when she met Peng Yan at school that night.
Jiang Yanmin didn't say anything, but considering the attitude of the street clerk that day, Jiang Yanmin felt that something was unusual.
Peng Yi didn’t think so much about it. To be exact, she didn’t think about it at all.
Jiang Yanmin drove Peng Yi to work in his green Prado and said he was leaving. Peng Yi didn't think much about it and turned around and went upstairs.
Others live apart, some are students living apart, but there is always a day when they can be together and there is hope. But she and Jiang Yanmin are separated from each other and work together with no end in sight. It is impossible for Peng Yi to give up her job at the TV station.
Sometimes I think that life is very tiring.
Jiang Yanmin did not go to the United States immediately. He drove to City A and went to the street where Peng Yi's grandmother lived.
He asked directly, "Excuse me, has Peng Yan ever worked here?"
The staff member glanced at Jiang Yanmin inquiringly.
Jiang Yanmin asked about this person, but he was not the same person he saw that day.
"No comment."
Jiang Yanmin asked his childhood friend to check Peng Yan's past history. Peng Yan's official resume only mentioned that he went to work in the provincial capital. Jiang Yanmin asked his childhood friend to check back to the time before he went to work in the provincial capital - XX Street.
It's not impossible to dig up information about where a person has worked. Peng Yi didn't find it because she searched in the wrong order. Besides, she didn't expect to find anything. Jiang Yanmin had the clue, so he could naturally find it.
This is indeed the street where Peng Yi’s grandmother lives.
The identity of the author and the birthplace of Peng Yi can match.
So Peng Yi went to check before, but it was simply because the street staff thought it was "inconvenient" and therefore didn't tell Peng Yi.
However, Jiang Yanmin conducted a retrospective investigation, and based on what Peng Yi said, it was confirmed that Peng Yan was indeed Peng Yi's cousin.
Jiang Yanmin was overwhelmed with emotion and couldn't sleep on the plane back to the United States.
The images of Peng Yi and Peng Yan kept appearing in my mind.
Jiang Yanmin didn't care about Peng Yan, but because Peng Yi and Peng Yan both had the same last name, and Peng Yan had "accidentally" run into Peng Yi several times—
It seems that it was not an accidental encounter, but a deliberate coincidence.
Jiang Yanmin went to Jiang Yandong's house.
Jiang Yandong had just come down from upstairs with his shirt sleeves rolled up. Seeing Jiang Yanmin, he asked, "Did you return home the day before yesterday? I didn't see you."
Jiang Yanmin kept looking up at Jiang Yandong, "Did you and Dad know about Peng Yi's situation a long time ago?"
Jiang Yandong looked up at Jiang Yanmin and said, "Peng Yi? What's going on?"
"She and Peng Yan are having an affair. That's why you and dad are trying so hard to bring them together. You and dad are the same kind of people, and you won't do anything without a profit." Jiang Yanmin said.
Jiang Yandong glanced at Jiang Yanmin with dissatisfaction, "Are you underestimating Peng Yi? Or are you underestimating me?"
"What do you mean?" Jiang Yanmin asked with a frown.
To be honest, Jiang Yanmin had never thought about what kind of background Peng Yi had or what kind of father he had. The current Peng Yi was the best Peng Yi. However, a lot of things had happened recently, and he had to investigate. He had not expected that Peng Yi actually had such a powerful father.
"You underestimate Peng Yi and think we like her because of her family. You underestimate me because you underestimate my judgment of people." After saying that, Jiang Yandong sat on the sofa and stared at Jiang Yanmin calmly.
"But why didn't you tell me?" Jiang Yanmin asked again.
"It's simple. I'm afraid you won't be able to treat her the same way you normally would."
"But Peng Yi doesn't know, and I don't know. What if she knew and thought I approached her just for Peng Yan?"
"Does my Jiang family really need to sacrifice our entire lives to curry favor with someone? Besides, we don't know what Peng Yan's attitude towards Peng Yi is. You're worrying too much." After saying that, Jiang Yandong patted Jiang Yanmin on the shoulder and was about to go to work.
"Your second sister-in-law is at home. She is pregnant. If you have nothing to do when you go back, go home and accompany your second sister-in-law." Jiang Yandong said again.
Jiang Yanmin thought: Shouldn't I be the one accompanying him now? I'm the one who's in a bad mood!
Jiang Yanmin sat downstairs for a long time before Zhangzhu came down. Zhangzhu's belly was indeed very big, and she was probably about to give birth.
"What's wrong?" Zhangzhu asked.
Jiang Yanmin knew that his second brother was a man who was very good at keeping secrets. He might have told Zhangzhu about Peng Yi's affairs, or he might not have told her, but Jiang Yanmin would not tell her on his own initiative.
Jiang Yanmin asked Zhangzhu how she was doing recently. Zhangzhu rubbed her temples and said, "I'm fine, except for feeling dizzy occasionally."
She also said that she was very troubled by her third brother's affairs.
"Yu Tian? What happened to him?" Jiang Yanmin asked.
Some time ago, the Yu Tian incident caused a lot of controversy in the city, but people have a good memory and soon forgot about it.
"Yu Tian is now ready to be with Lin Er because he can't stand the constant staring from her. Their relationship is a trial run, and they're reluctant. My third brother is even worried that if Yin Mi wakes up one day, she won't forgive him and will accuse him of being ungrateful. But Lin Er's attraction to him is growing stronger and stronger," Zhang Zhu said, sighing. "She keeps telling me this every day. I'm getting fed up."
"Then your third brother hasn't fallen in love with Lin Er wholeheartedly."
"yes."
"If you were in love, you wouldn't be so worried."
"Yes." Zhangzhu answered again. On this matter, she and Jiang Yanmin had surprisingly consistent opinions.
Jiang Yanmin thought, if it were him, what choice would he make?
Zhangzhu also thought that the reason she chose to break up with Jiang Yandong at that time was probably because she didn't love him enough. Otherwise, why would she make such a choice? If she had two children, what would she choose? Probably, she would never separate even if she died.
Jiang Yanmin stayed at Zhangzhu's house for half a day and then went back to work.
