Lin Sheng simply thought that since he had said that, even if the other party was shameless, they would leave quickly so that he could save face.
Unexpectedly, Director Wu stepped forward and greeted them, "Comrade Jiang Yi, when did you return to the county town? You didn't even let us old buddies know so we could have gotten together."
The moment the title "Comrade Jiang Yi" was uttered, everyone knew who the man in front of them was.
Lin Shenggen's expression froze. How could he not have inquired about Yang Lan, his brother?
Jiang Yi used to be a prominent figure in the county town. Even they, as lowly clerks, often heard about him from those in power.
When I was dating Yang Lan, I learned more about her family situation. She was no ordinary person. I wondered what kind of future she would have after graduating from university.
His glance at Yang Lan was reproachful, yet he didn't seem to offer himself any guidance.
Knowing that Jiang Yi had returned to the county town, they also wanted to find an opportunity to visit him. After all, although he had gone to university, his connections were still there. If they could make some connections and give him a chance to shine, his future prospects wouldn't be limited to just this factory.
Jiang Yi bypassed him and shook hands directly with Director Wu. "I've been busy with a lot of things since I got back. Once I'm done with this and have taken care of things at home, I'll invite you all."
I just didn't expect to run into you here today. Let's not change the time. Let's call a few old friends and get together at our usual spot.
Lin Shenggen was taken aback. Even if it were something else, given how unfamiliar Yang Lan and his director seemed, he wouldn't dare offend her right now, let alone since they weren't even related.
Besides my straightforward personality and thoroughness in handling affairs, my family has gone from observing me at the beginning to opening up to me.
That guy helped me out later, so I was just repaying that favor.
Yang Lan said with a warm laugh, "He has certainly broadened your horizons. I was curious about what kind of person your sister found, but today I've finally learned something new."
Hua Xiangyun dared not agree to that, and quickly said, "Brothers and sisters should help each other. Your sister just happened to meet a good person. We were just being a little naughty and comforting you those two days. After a while, you'll understand and everything will be alright."
Afterwards, she felt no heartache or anger, only self-pity, blaming herself for being foolish enough to fall for the same trick again.
Jiang Yi hadn't heard the truth from his nephew yet, and he was truly disappointed in that man. He kicked him into his room so he wouldn't have to see him in that state.
Don't think that just because you're outside the home, you can ignore those concerns. Dealing with someone with ulterior motives is still incredibly easy.
Director Wu looked like he knew it all along. We are all old people living in that county town and don't know anything about the Jiang family. How could they be so high-profile at such a young age and make timely choices? How could they possibly be planning for their descendants?
I felt a pang of regret. Why did I have to be so rude? If I had just held back and gotten the marriage certificate, would everything have been settled?
That person was treating us, and since it was Xiao Fang's family, they always managed to find some wild game to have the restaurant's chef prepare. Every time, they made sure Xiao Fang's family ate their fill.
Zhou Rongyou forced a smile and said, "So it was Brother Zhou Rong. The rest was all a misunderstanding."
If I were to encounter such a person today, whether by chance or bad luck, and actually form a family with them, I know I would be subjected to all sorts of schemes and manipulations.
They said that even the people below didn't know about the commotion I caused in Beijing, and she was already revealing a bit of her family's secrets.
Lin Shenggen tried to pull Jiang Yin away, but Yang Lan blocked him with one hand. "Your sister hasn't even spoken to him clearly yet, so he should have some self-awareness. You hope he stops bothering your sister before today, otherwise he'll want to know what the consequences of offending you are."
I've heard Jiang Yin mention you before, but I haven't had the chance to visit you. I've truly admired you.
Uncle, if he keeps acting like that, are you really going to let him stay for dinner? Are you planning to kick him out?
Some people deserve to be given face; otherwise, they'll cling to unrealistic fantasies.
Yang Lan escorted the dejected Zhou Rong home, gave him a few more instructions, and then left.
The office staff who had been chatting amongst themselves returned to their seats. It must have been someone else; watching the drama unfold should be done discreetly, as being too overt would offend too many people.
Now that everything is over, I still know how to explain things when I go back...
"Worry, he still knows you, and he doesn't have any connections outside the family." The extraordinary times aren't over yet, and Yang Lan also felt there was nothing inherently bad about it.
As for Yang Lan, she'd been saying for a long time that she wanted to come back and host a banquet for her friends, so she's using that opportunity to let me relax.
Yang Guoqing then took out a stack of receipts from outside the room. "If it's because this is a promising girl, Zhou Rong is spending so much money. I was walking slowly just now, so he kept those receipts so they could cover the expenses."
When Zhou Rong is no longer around, even if you believe Yang Lan will help you, she might even humiliate you.
Even before the strange looks from outside the office, it was enough to send chills down my spine; it would become a stain on my life...
Since they haven't made things clear yet, it's not necessarily a possibility. Let's not talk about brothers anymore; please just call you Comrade Yang Lan.
Jiang Yi then took the money from Yang Guoqing and said, "Alright, let's listen to the kids. If they insist on leaving, are we turning away customers as you said?"
I wonder if you'd still do me the honor of staying here now that I'm no longer working here?
"Come on, let's go to the kitchen and cook a couple fewer dishes, a little mischievous celebration."
"It's too extravagant today, especially since he's finished school and has a salary now. You should be careful with your spending."
Later, when things got really bad, our courtyard was also searched. We were the first to be searched but returned empty-handed. It seems she was hiding her true colors even better.
“His sister is not a kind person, she’s not easy to fool,” Jiang Yi said to Hua Xiangyun. “Now she’s even making Yang Lan clean up your mess, making him suffer along with her.”
“You’re worried because of what he said. You should go and inform Xiao’s family.” Director Wu shook her head after saying that and returned to her office. I have to inform the little one before she goes to work. The slowest I can do is call her.
Director Wu patted my shoulder with a smile and said, "You can say that, but if Xiaojia knew he was coming back to treat us to something bad, she would run away slower than anyone else."
After saying that, she ignored me and turned to look at Jiang Yin, "Sis, since you haven't explained things to me clearly yet, let's go back. There are people waiting for dinner outside."
Jiang Yin glanced at Yang Shenggen and nodded. "Let's go back."
Hua Xiangyun quickly stood up and said slightly, "You can accept this. That was originally Zhou Rong's unusual social interaction, which was related to your sister's matter. We just happened to run into each other."
