Quite Sick, Big Brother Yanshen

The temperature in the living room kept falling. The sudden silence made the atmosphere as cold as death.

Lu Yuan kept signaling Lin Qingqian with his eyes. At this moment, only she could appease Director Jiang’s emotions.

If Director Jiang continued to be so irritable, no one would have a good time. What good would that do?

Lin Qingqian sighed helplessly and walked up to the second floor to fill his bath.

When Jiang Yanshen was in a better mood, perhaps it would be easier to talk about the divorce.

As usual, Lin Qingqian prepared a tub of hot water that was exactly 43 degrees and placed some clean clothes on the shelf. When she turned around and saw the man standing at the bathroom door, she lowered her eyes. Just as she was about to pass by him, she heard a low voice. “The gift is by the bedside.”

She glanced at him in response. His tall and cold facial features were calm, as if the person downstairs who was like a violent dungeon boss just now was not him. Then, she looked at the bedside table.

Jiang Yanshen had already walked into the bathroom.

Did he suddenly come back to give her a gift?

Lin Qingqian picked up the rectangular velvet box and took a look. The corners of her mouth could not help but curl into a sneer.

As expected—

There was a silver anklet lying quietly in the box.

In the past few years, although Jiang Yanshen had not taken her seriously, he would still give her some clothes and jewelry during festive seasons. Most of them seemed to be bracelets and anklets.

In the past, she thought that it might be because he was a particular person and liked to give out the same things. Now, it seemed that he had probably tasked Lu Yuan to buy a bunch of these bracelets and anklets on his behalf such that as and when the occasion called for it, he could casually take one and give it to her. Either that, or he was sick in the head. And it was the kind of sickness that was quite serious.

She closed the box and locked the anklet in the safe with the previous gifts.

…

When Lin Qingqian went downstairs, Madam Jiang and Li Ruzhu had just returned from their beauty treatment. The moment they saw her, Madam Jiang thought of the bowl of sticky bird’s nest that had been poured on her head, and the disgust in her eyes was undisguised.

“Why are you back? Who let you in?”

Before she could finish her sentence, she heard a cold voice behind her. “I brought her back.”

Madam Jiang looked up and was stunned to see her son standing at the top of the stairs on the second floor. Clearly, she did not expect him to return at this time.

When Li Ruzhu saw Jiang Yanshen, her expression instantly became shy. “Big Brother Yanshen…”

Jiang Yanshen’s indifferent gaze swept across her face, as if he hadn’t heard anything. His gaze landed on Lin Qingqian. “What are you waiting for? Come up and help me dry my hair!”

His black hair was drenched and dripping, leaving an imperceptible mark on his black shirt. His entire temperament was abstinent and charming.

Lin Qingqian did not hesitate for long. She walked upstairs and had only taken two steps when she heard Madam Jiang’s voice behind her. “Yanshen, didn’t she tell you? She wants to divorce you and has already signed the papers.”

Jiang Yanshen, who was about to turn around, paused. When he turned around, he heard Li Ruzhu’s sweet voice say, “Big Brother Yanshen, even if you’re angry this time, I still have to say it. Last night, Lin Qingqian said that she wanted a divorce. Auntie only said a few words to her, and she poured a bowl of bird’s nest over Auntie’s head. She really went too far.”

Although Li Ruzhu was Madam Jiang’s adopted daughter, she had always called her Auntie because Jiang Yanshen did not allow her to address his mother as her stepmother.

Jiang Yanshen frowned slightly and sized up the woman standing below with a questioning gaze.

It was difficult to imagine her pouring a bird’s nest over someone’s head. In his memory, she had always been very obedient in front of the Jiang family. It seemed that she had never even raised her voice before.

She was even gentle and considerate in front of him, so obedient that it made him feel at ease.

Facing his questioning gaze, Lin Qingqian smiled. “What they said is true.”
