In fact, Su Er was right. Just as she thought, Jiang Siyan didn't need a piece of clothing or a meal from her. He had almost forgotten about her.
If we really want to talk about how I remembered her, we have to blame it on those vague and unfounded rumors.
Not long after he was transferred back to Beicheng, the new official was eager to make a splash, with one meeting after another filling his schedule. It wasn't until tonight that he finally had a moment to catch his breath.
This round is Zhao Linsheng's group. His parents had him late in life, so although he is considered to be of the same generation as Jiang Siyan and the others, he is a few years younger.
Apart from a few people who were familiar with Jiang Siyan, the rest of the people in the private room were basically Zhao Linsheng's friends.
As soon as Jiang Siyan entered the room, Zhao Linsheng leaned over and greeted him intimately, "Brother Siyan, it's been so long since I've seen you."
Ye Tingshu laughed from the side: "Linsheng, why do you still love to follow your brother Siyan around so much? You haven't made any progress all these years."
"You know what, only Old Jiang can keep this scoundrel in check. I ran into Uncle Zhao the other day, and he was saying that when Old Jiang comes back, he'll have to teach you a lesson."
The reason why he could be cured is actually quite simple: Jiang Siyan was the most troublesome kid in the neighborhood when he was young.
Countless vines fell on him and broke, yet he still caused all the trouble he was supposed to do.
Despite his slacking off, he excelled in everything else, from his childhood studies to his time at the company.
The sentence Zhao Linsheng heard most often from his parents since childhood was: "If you could be like Si Yan, you could get away with just getting by."
Therefore, Zhao Linsheng developed a spontaneous sense of admiration for Jiang Siyan.
Jiang Siyan had just sat down on the sofa when Zhao Linsheng followed him over. Jiang Siyan found him annoying and kicked him, saying, "Go play somewhere else."
Zhao Linsheng chuckled and said, "Alright!"
"How can this guy be so spineless in front of you?" Ji Hong exclaimed from the side.
As soon as Zhao Linsheng left, laughter and chatter filled the other end of the private room, while it was much quieter on Jiang Siyan's side.
We've known each other since childhood, so we don't hold back when we speak.
Ye Tingshu handed him a cigarette and asked, "You've just been transferred back, and you've gone straight to the point. Quite a few people must be panicking."
Jiang Siyan took the cigarette, put it in his mouth without lighting it, and snorted coldly: "What's the panic? Aren't you all sticking your necks out and saying you're upright and standing straight?"
Ye Tingshu originally wanted to discuss the matter further, but Ji Hong, who was listening from the side and felt overwhelmed, quickly interrupted him, "That's enough, that's enough, why talk about this now? Let him rest."
Upon hearing this, Ye Tingshu shrugged and said, "Fine, it's my fault. I'll drink a cup as punishment, okay?"
“Hey, if you’re talking about punishing someone with a drink, Yanzi, you have to be punished too!” Ji Hong said, pouring him a full cup of wine.
Jiang Siyan didn't take it, but casually picked up a lighter from the table and lit a cigarette: "Why did it fall on my head again?"
Ji Hong spoke with great conviction, "That's how you act disloyally. You've been back for so long, and you have time to fool around with minor celebrities, but you never come to get together with us."
He slightly lifted his eyelids, which were hidden behind the smoke, and asked, "Oh? Which minor celebrity?"
"Stop pretending with me. The second female lead in Duan Wenxi's movie was originally going to be that illegitimate daughter of the Li family. Although she's not highly regarded, she's still half a Li, isn't she? Tang Yonghao couldn't handle it, so he had no choice but to bring you out."
Jiang Siyan frowned upon hearing this. What was this all about?
Ji Hong, still looking gossipy, asked, "What kind of beauty haven't you seen? What, is she really as beautiful as a fairy and so lovable? I've never seen you bring her out to meet people."
Fairy?
Following this word, the perfectly placed mole at the end of her eyebrow suddenly appeared in my mind, and gradually, a cool and proud face became clearer and clearer.
Jiang Siyan remembered everything this time.
That look is indeed quite endearing.
He took out his phone and scrolled through it. Apart from calls from home and friends, there were no calls from unknown numbers.
"I'll treat you to dinner." The soft voice seemed to echo in my ears again as memories surged.
Jiang Siyan chuckled. The little girl could come up with such perfunctory words so easily.
Zhao Linsheng, who had been drinking, came over at some point and asked excitedly, "Brother, what's that celebrity's name? What shows has he acted in? Let me see."
Ji Hong raised an eyebrow and teased the child, "What's wrong? Asking such detailed questions, are you trying to steal Yanzi's husband?"
Zhao Linsheng hurriedly waved his hand, afraid that Jiang Siyan would misunderstand him, and explained hastily, "No, no! Brother Ji Hong, what nonsense are you talking about!"
After all, he had a lot of experience, so Ji Hong could tease him as if it were a joke.
Jiang Siyan leaned back on the sofa and watched them fool around for a while, fiddling with the lighter in his hand absentmindedly, feeling that something was missing.
"Sir, would you like me to light your cigarette?" A somewhat affected voice rang in his ear.
The person who was brought in, whose perfume was sickeningly sweet, was bowing and looking at him with a shy smile.
His smile wasn't natural enough, his eyes weren't bright enough, and he lacked a certain arrogance.
He seemed to know what was missing.
Thinking of this, Jiang Siyan's originally stern face suddenly softened a bit. The girl observed his expression and was about to step forward with delight.
Before she could even get close, Jiang Siyan ruthlessly dodged her and pointed to Zhao Linsheng in the distance: "Go play with that kid."
The girl could only leave with a sheepish expression.
Jiang Siyan lowered his eyes and sent a message: "Help me find a phone number."
