Five minutes laterâ¦
Li Jing appeared in the lobby of Qin Corporationâ¦
âLi Jing! Over here!â Jian Dan waved at Li Jing.
âMengjiao! Madam, youâre here too.â
âItâs you!â Xia Zijie saw him.
Li Jing was Chu Liyuanâs special assistant. Back then, Li Jing was the one who took care of Xia Zijieâs matters, so of course he knew Li Jing.
âBrother, youâre here too!â
âWho are you calling brother?â
âIâm with Mengjiao now. Of course I have to call you brother.â
âYouâre not married yet!â
âAlthough weâre not married yet, youâre Mengjiaoâs brother, so youâre my brother.â
âMengjiao told me that youâve been taking care of her since she was young. Youâve really taken good care of her, but 1 hope that you can hand over this responsibility to me from now on. Although 1 might not be as good to her as you, I can promise you that Iâll do my best to treat her well.â
As expected of Chu Liyuanâs right-hand man, he could still perform so steadily under such a sudden attack. They could find no fault with his words!
âBrother, if you agree, 1 hope to arrange a time to have a meal with Mom and Granny to discuss things.â
âZijie, are you unhappy that Li Jing is your brother-in-law?â Jian Dan chimed in.
âNot really. Itâs just thatâ¦â
âThatâs it then. Now, hurry up and arrange for them to meet!â
âButâ¦â
âOh! No âbutâs.â Jian Dan sat beside Zijie and whispered in his ear, âMengjiao canât wait any longer in her current condition. Do you want Mengjiao to be an unwed mother?â
âI know what are you worried about. You can rest assured about this. If Li Jing dares to bully Mengjiao, I will definitely get Uncle to teach him a lesson. Moreover, arenât you joining Qin Corporation after graduation? When the time comes, you can keep an eye on him. Isnât that great?!â
Jian Danâs words seemed to make sense.
âHopefully, you can remember what you said today. If you dare to bully Mengjiao in the future, I wonât let you off!â
âI will!â
Finally, the weight on his heart was liftedâ¦
As for their family dinner, it was inconvenient for Jian Dan to join in. However, she heard from Mengjiao that it was not badâ¦
Mengjiaoâs matter was finally resolved, butâ¦
Sigh! She still had a hurdle that she did not know how to overcome. If only her Granny were so easy to deal with.
Now, whenever she thought of what Granny had said to her, she felt very uncertain.
I wonder what Granny will do when she comes back? Will she force me to leave Uncle? If thatâs really the case, what should I do? Should I listen to Granny and leave Uncle? No, 1 donât want to leave Uncle at all now. But if 1 donât listen to Granny, she will definitely be very sad.
What should 1 do?
Jian Dan felt that she was about to go bald from tearing her hair out, but she still could not think of a good solution.
âPenny for your thought?â
When Chu Liyuan came back from work, he saw Jian Dan slumped over at the dining table alone with a worried expression and muttering to herself.
âHubby, why are you back so early today? Did you miss me?â
Seeing that Chu Liyuan had returned, the worry on Jian Danâs face disappeared. She ran over playfully and hugged Chu Liyuanâs waist.
âI missed you!â
âSilly goose!â He caressed Jian Danâs hair and said gently.
Now, she really did not dare to imagine what she would become if she really separated from Chu Liyuan one day.
Thinking of this, Jian Dan felt a lump in her throatâ¦
âWhatâs wrong?â Although there were no tears in Jian Danâs eyes, he could feel the change in her breathing.
âHehe! Iâm happy because Mengjiao and Li Jing have finally gotten together!â
Wait! What ifâ¦
