Chapter 319 - Big Brother, I Really Am Innocent

Jiang Chenglang did not come alone.

There was another person standing behind him.

However, that person had been hiding in the darkness thus Jiang Wan did not see him earlier. Now that he has walked into view, he said politely, “Hello, Miss Jiang.”

It was Rong Qi.

Jiang Chenglang stepped through the door. “Rong Qi worked overtime with me today. He hasn’t had dinner yet. I would like to bring him along. Is that alright?”

Jiang Wan’s lips twitched. “No problem.”

How could she refuse? If she did, Jiang Chenglang would probably leave immediately.

The smile on Jiang Wan’s lips became even wider. “Brother Rong, you’re welcome to celebrate my birthday with me. It’s just that it’s a little shabby here. I hope you don’t mind.”

Rong Qi said politely, “Miss Jiang, you don’t have to worry about me. I’m just here with Director Jiang.”

Rong Qi was very clear about his position. He was just a tool.

He would not get involved in Director Jiang’s family matters. If he were to mix business with personal matters and bring his own judgment to the table, he would lose his job as a personal assistant.

Jiang Chenglang walked to the table. Rong Qi took out the gift that he had prepared and handed it to Jiang Chenglang. Jiang Chenglang then handed it to Jiang Wan.

He said in a declarative tone, “Happy Birthday.”

Jiang Wan took the gift and said bitterly, “Big Brother, are you so unfamiliar with me now that you won’t even call me ‘Wan Wan’ anymore?”

Jiang Chenglang didn’t say anything.

He looked at Jiang Wan as if he was looking at a stranger.

There was even a hint of impatience in his eyes.

Rong Qi tried to smooth things over. “The food looks great. It smells great too. Why don’t we sit down and eat first? Otherwise, the food will get cold.”

The three of them sat down.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Jiang Wan was still a little unsettled.

She picked up a piece of food and wanted to put it into Jiang Chenglang’s bowl, but Jiang Chenglang raised his bowl, and the food between Jiang Wan’s chopsticks almost fell on the table.

She awkwardly put it into her own bowl. After taking two bites, she couldn’t help but put down her bowl and chopsticks, “Big Brother, it’s my fault. I didn’t know that you’d feel it so troublesome to celebrate a birthday with me. You act like you are just completing a mission. If that is the case, it would have been better if you hadn’t agreed to come here in the first place.”

“Big Brother, you came here because you wanted me to have a bad birthday, right?”

Jiang Wan’s eyes were filled with tears, “In the past, you would arrange a grand birthday party for me and prepare a gift for me in advance, so that I would become the enviable little princess on my birthday. Now? This gift was bought by Rong Qi, right?”

“I don’t expect a grand birthday party, nor do I expect a gift. I just want you to have a meal with me. Is it that so difficult?”

Jiang Chenglang also put down his bowl and chopsticks. He called her by her full name, “Jiang Wan.”

“I gave you a chance but you didn’t take it. Actually, I didn’t plan to come today but I saw this.”

He put a photo on the table and said affirmatively, “You’ve met with the Jian family recently.”

Jiang Wan’s expression suddenly changed!

How could it be?

How could Jiang Chenglang have this thing?

She thought that she had done it flawlessly. Moreover, Jian Hanshen was a vigilant person, and they had agreed to meet in a hidden place. How could Jiang Chenglang get this?!

Who gave it to him?

Jiang Wan never thought that Jiang Chenglang would come today to interrogate her. Her face was pale. “Big Brother, I know that you won’t believe me no matter what I say because I’ve disappointed you before but this time, I really am innocent…”
