Xing Haodong walked upstairs.
Jiang Bin's face has been smiling like a flower since just now.
"Oh my god, your raincoat is hanging there. I thought you were married. Hahaha! That scene, why does it look so..."
Xing Haodong turned and glared at him.
Jiang Bin quickly covered his mouth and said, "No, I didn't say anything."
When they reached the second floor, they happened to meet an aunt holding a palm-leaf fan and a small stool.
As soon as the aunt saw them, her eyes narrowed and scanned them like searchlights.
Just when Xing Haodong was about to get mad, she suddenly lit up and exclaimed, "Oh, so you must be Mingxin's elder brother! You're such a busy man, you've been on a long business trip, and you're only just coming home now?"
Xing Haodong: ...
This time, Jiang Bin's reaction was half a beat faster than his. "Yes, he just came back from a business trip. You are..."
Aunt Hu clapped her palm-leaf fan twice and said, "I'm just the landlord who rents the house to them. So you're her eldest brother's colleague?"
Jiang Bin nodded cheerfully: "Yes, yes, I'm his colleague."
"You haven't eaten yet, right? Ask Mingxin to make some spinach noodles. I'm going downstairs to enjoy the cool air. It's really hot out here."
After saying that, Aunt Hu took the things and walked downstairs.
He kept looking back and took in Xing Haodong's clear view, muttering, "Mingxin's elder brother is quite good-looking! Both the brother and sister are handsome, but I wonder if they've found a partner..."
Jiang Bin leaned against the wall and couldn't help laughing even harder.
Xing Haodong was too lazy to pay attention to him anymore.
He quickly walked to the third floor and knocked on the door.
"You're here! Who are you so early in the morning? Aunt Hu, is that you?" Jiang Mingxin was very alert and did not open the door immediately.
Xing Haodong took a deep breath and replied, "It's me."
Jiang Mingxin opened the door, looking surprised, "How did you know I live here?"
Before he could say anything, Jiang Bin spoke first, "My boss used all his criminal investigation skills to track you down here."
"Don't listen to him. I first contacted Sister Hong, then went to Brother Fang's study, and only then did I find out you lived here. But... I was able to find the house number because of the raincoat you hung on the balcony."
Xing Haodong told the truth.
Jiang Mingxin was relieved and let them in.
"Well, sorry, it's not safe for me to rent a house alone, so I made up a big brother." She poured some boiled water and handed it to him and Jiang Bin. "The raincoat was hung up on purpose, too. It saves a lot of trouble."
Xing Haodong's eyes became complicated and deep.
When they first met, she tried to fight the tomb robber with an iron nail in her hand.
The second time, in front of Zhenbaozhai, she called him "husband".
Now, he has inexplicably become her elder brother... From now on...
"It's okay. If you need it, you can keep the raincoat."
"No, no, it's been hanging here for several days. It's time to take it down and return it to you." Jiang Mingxin said as he took off the raincoat, folded it, put it in a plastic bag and handed it to him.
Xing Haodong hesitated for a moment and took it.
"Is your landlord an aunt with a perm? We just ran into each other in the hallway, and she mistook me for your older brother."
"You two met? Did you tell her anything...? Did you let her know?"
Seeing Jiang Mingxin's eyes suddenly flickering and feeling a little guilty, Xing Haodong slightly raised the corners of his lips.
"Don't worry, I've covered it up for you."
Jiang Mingxin patted his chest and said, "That's good. Thank you so much. I owe you another big favor. I'll treat you to a good meal in the city someday."
Xing Haodong shook his head. "Just treat me to anything. There's no need to travel so far. Besides, it's not easy for you to make a little money. But I think the bookstore business is pretty good. It will definitely get better in the future."
"That's right. I'm planning to go to the city's book wholesale market in a few days to buy some supplies and stock up on English tutoring books. Isn't school about to start? I'm sure the supply will exceed the demand by then."
Jiang Mingxin's eyebrows were curved, and her face was filled with a confident and bright smile. She didn't hate men at all as Lin You said.
"Do you need our help?" Xing Haodong asked. "The tricycle has limited capacity and can't hold too many books."
Jiang Mingxin calculated the quantity he wanted to buy and said, "You're right, but wouldn't that be too much trouble for you?"
Xing Haodong said frankly, "I'm still waiting for news from my informant. I'm free for the next two days. By the way, there's something I need to inform you of. You'd better be mentally prepared."
After saying that, he asked Jiang Bin to take out the morning paper.
Jiang Mingxin took it doubtfully, looked at it carefully, and his face darkened slightly.
"This time, a woman surnamed Jiang performed meritorious service in the arrest of the Jiangjiatun tomb robbers, yet received no commendation. According to insiders, she escaped the suspect's home that night, disheveled and with her hair disheveled. Fortunately, she was rescued by Director Bai, who also provided a lot of information about the tomb robbers... Haha, that's quite a play on words."
Xing Haodong stared into her eyes, "Are you not angry?"
"What right do they have to make me angry? They're just a bunch of scum who want to attract attention." Jiang Mingxin put down the newspaper. "You don't have to worry about me being upset. I've seen this kind of trick many times."
"Well, I'm glad you're not affected. But we can't let them slander us like this. What are your plans?" Xing Haodong asked.
Jiang Mingxin pondered for a moment, then raised the corner of his lips and said, "I just happened to be going to the city to buy some books. Can you give me a ride? I'm going to the city TV station first."
Xing Haodong was shocked. "Did you go there to..."
"That's right. Since the Morning Post reported false news, I naturally have to find a higher-level media outlet to clarify the truth."
