Jiang Wei said, “Help me investigate someone.”
“Oh, who?”
“Huang Jiajia, a student from No.1 Middle School back then. She’s one grade lower than us. She was in Cla.s.s Eight and is now a web novelist…”
When Song Zhi heard this name, he guessed that the other party was a woman. Jiang Wei rarely held a grudge against women. To be remembered by him, this Huang Jiajia must have done something bad. Song Zhi asked him, “What kind of feud do you have with her?”
Jiang Wei let out a cold snort and said, “Revenge for my wife!”
!!
Song Zhi was speechless.
…
In the afternoon, Fang Yuqing had lunch with Liu Qingya and the rest outside. They were eating hotpot. While they were eating, the high school cla.s.s group chat on WeChat had a commotion. Fang Yuqing occasionally took a look at her phone and saw the new popular author, Huang Jiajia, talking about her book’s recent situation in the group chat.
Huang Hui: [Jiajia is awesome! Your novel has been adapted into a television drama. Who will act in it?]
Liu Jie: [I think that Li Feng is quite suitable to play the male lead.]
An Ruoya: [I think Feng Chao is more suitable.]
Huang Jiajia: [Don’t say that. This matter hasn’t been settled yet. It’s still being discussed. Of course, if it’s settled, the actors aren’t someone I can choose. I’m going to discuss it with the person in charge of the entertainment company in the afternoon. I’ll tell you when there’s a result.]
Fang Yuqing retracted her gaze. When she heard Liu Qingya say that the beef was delicious, she picked up a piece of beef and placed it in a ladle to cook. The taste was indeed not bad. The three women ordered two more plates of beef.
After shopping for a while in the afternoon, Fang Yuqing followed Liu Qingya and the rest home.
Before dinner at the Jiang Family, Fang Yuqing left with Jiang Wei.
Jiang Wei sent Fang Yuqing home. He sat on Fang Yuqing’s sofa and took off his shoes. He placed his legs on the sofa and leaned against it. His posture was casual and lazy, but it did not affect his elegance.
Fang Yuqing was holding her laptop and working on a design draft while Jiang Wei was playing games.
When Fang Yuqing was done with the design, she looked up and realized that the sky had already darkened. The lights in the house had already been switched on. Jiang Wei was not in the living room. Fang Yuqing heard a commotion and walked to the kitchen door, where she saw Jiang Wei cutting meat.
This should be his first time cooking. The meat was as thick as a finger.
“Let me do it.”
Fang Yuqing walked into the kitchen and s.n.a.t.c.hed the knife from Jiang Wei’s hand.
Jiang Wei asked her, “Are you done?”
“Yes.”
“I was planning to cook boiled fish slices for you to try my culinary skills.” His tone was quite regretful. Fang Yuqing thought about that scene and thought to herself, It’s poisonous!
Jiang Wei’s meat naturally did not meet the standards. Fang Yuqing cut them all into strips, chopped them into pieces, and made steamed meatb.a.l.l.s. She made a few home-cooked dishes and called Jiang Wei to serve the dishes.
Jiang Wei ate secretly as he served the dishes.
“Looks like I’ll be lucky in the future.” Fang Yuqing’s cooking was very good. It seemed like she had learned it from her mother.
When she thought of his sister, who had no specialties and only knew how to eat, drink, and buy bags all day long, and then looked at Fang Yuqing, Jiang Wei felt that his sister was indeed someone else’s daughter.
He was envious of Fang Yu’an.
He was envious of other people’s younger sisters, but he could abduct their younger sister to be his wife. Jiang Wei looked at Fang Yuqing with satisfaction in his eyes.
Fang Yuqing felt that his gaze was too strong and was not used to it. She said, “Jiang Wei, aren’t you quite cold to others? Can’t you maintain your cold persona?”
Jiang Wei said, “I’m only this pa.s.sionate towards you.”
Fang Yuqing rubbed the gooseb.u.mps on her arms and could not be bothered with him.
After dinner, Jiang Wei and Fang Yuqing washed the dishes together. After was.h.i.+ng his hands, he lay on the sofa. It seemed like he planned to stay at Fang Yuqing’s house and not leave.
Fang Yuqing asked him, “It’s past eight o’clock. Aren’t you going back?”
“I’m not going back tonight.”
Upon hearing this, Fang Yuqing hurriedly said, “I only have one bed here.”
“We can sleep together.” Jiang Wei pretended not to understand what Fang Yuqing meant.
Knowing that she could not chase this shameless person away tonight, Fang Yuqing ignored him. She returned to her room to take a shower. As soon as she came out of the shower, she saw Jiang Wei sitting on her bed.
Fang Yuqing’s bed was pink, and so was the bedspread. Jiang Wei was wearing black and sitting by the bed. His sitting posture was straight, but his lower body and back were pink, making him look especially out of place.
Fang Yuqing took a few more glances. She was wearing a towel, and her arms, collarbones, and long legs were exposed. She was quite seductive.
Jiang Weiming peeped at her boldly, not afraid of being despised by Fang Yuqing.
Fang Yuqing opened the cabinet to look for her pajamas. She thought of something and carried a light blue nightgown. She turned around and said to Jiang Wei, “I don’t have male pajamas here. If you don’t mind, you can only wear mine.”
She threw the blue pajamas at Jiang Wei and said, “Just this one. You can barely wear it.”
Jiang Wei took off the nightdress that had landed on his head. He held the nightdress with both hands and lowered his head to take a deep breath. He straightened his back and sighed. “It smells so good!”
Fang Yuqing’s face flushed red. “Scram!” She stomped her feet and carried her pajamas to the bathroom to change.
After changing her clothes, Fang Yuqing found a brand new towel for Jiang Wei and asked him to take a shower. Jiang Wei came out after taking a shower. He was naked and only had a towel around his waist.
When he saw a man’s casual sportswear on the bed, his eyes narrowed. His gaze was unfathomable, and he emitted a dangerous aura.
“Whose clothes are these?”
Fang Yuqing sat on the bed and looked down at the chat history in the cla.s.s group chat. When she heard Jiang Wei’s question, she glanced at the sports attire and said, “It’s my brother’s.”
Only then did the gloominess in Jiang Wei’s eyes fade.
Fang Yu’an’s clothes were suitable for Jiang Wei. Fang Yu’an was two to three centimeters taller than Jiang Wei, but their figures were similar, and they were both wearing the same size sportswear. Seeing that Fang Yuqing was still looking at her phone, Jiang Wei climbed into bed and sat down beside her.
Fang Yuqing was so engrossed in her phone that she did not notice Jiang Wei approaching.
“What are you looking at?” Jiang Wei’s voice sounded in her ears. Fang Yuqing turned around abruptly and realized that they were too close.
Fang Yuqing subconsciously moved to the side and said, “I’m looking at the cla.s.s chat records. It’s strange. Huang Jiajia’s novel could have been adapted into a television drama, but she’s crying in the group chat about the person in charge of the entertainment company being inhumane and lying to her.”
“Oh? What happened?”
“Huang Jiajia said that the person in charge’s att.i.tude was very good previously. He promised her that this novel would definitely become popular if it was arranged into a television drama. However, when she went to sign the contract today, the person in charge refused to sign it. He also said that her novel is unbearable to look at. It’s just dog blood. There’s nothing interesting to watch.”
Fang Yuqing turned her phone in her hand, her eyes s.h.i.+ning. She asked Jiang Wei, “Tell me honestly, did you cause trouble?”
Jiang Wei’s expression turned cold instantly. He said expressionlessly, “She almost made me lose my wife and I cut off her path to wealth. It’s my duty.”
