Chapter 25 Brother Jin

Jiang Sui took the drink menu from the waiter and introduced the special drinks on it to several foreigners in different languages. After the foreigners selected a few drinks, they sat down at the booth with satisfaction.

In order to avoid further chaos later on, Jiang Sui stayed at the foreigners' booth for a while longer.

Fortunately, their translator arrived not long after, but this translator was someone Jiang Sui knew.

When Zhou Cheng arrived, Jiang Sui had already appeased several foreigners. The foreigners were chatting with each other in different languages, and Jiang Sui temporarily acted as their translator.

When they saw each other, Jiang Sui and Zhou Cheng were both stunned.

"Then I'll leave this to you. I'm leaving first!"

Jiang Sui was the first to react.

There was no time to explain to each other, Zhou Cheng just said "hmm" and the handover was completed.

After Jiang Sui pulled away, he prepared to go downstairs to find Si Nian.

Unexpectedly, he was stopped by the bar owner at the stairs on the second floor.

Jiang Sui didn't know when he came up.

"My little beauty, you speak foreign languages quite well. I have only met one person who speaks foreign languages better than you in all these years."

"who?"

Hearing him say that, Jiang Sui just followed his question.

"Your brother!"

"It's him?"

When Jiang Sui heard that this person was Si Nian, he suddenly became interested.

Although she knew that Si Nian had been learning various languages since he was a child, she had no idea to what extent he had learned and whether he had given up long ago, and she didn't dare to ask.

"When Wenjiu first came to my place, the situation was similar to what he encountered today. The waiter couldn't handle it, and he stepped forward to save the situation."

The bar owner seemed lost in his memories.

He said that a few years ago, when he had just opened this bar, Si Nian was dragged here by a few of his friends to hang out.

He also encountered this situation and it was Si Nian who helped him.

At that time, Si Nian was extremely talented, with a confident light in his eyes, and he admired him very much.

Later they started chatting and got along very well, and each regarded the other as a close friend.

Later, thinking that he had helped him, I told him to come to him if he had any problems in the future, to express my gratitude.

But a few days later, Si Nian really came.

I'm not asking him to do anything difficult, I just want him to give me a part-time job.

He also said frankly that he could choose any position in the store.

In the end, Si Nian chose to be a bartender.

At first he was also very skeptical, fearing that he would not be able to do it well due to his lack of experience.

But the extent to which the guests liked the drinks he made that day was beyond his imagination.

Since then, Si Nian has stayed in his shop.

The bar owner said, "He seems to have a talent for everything he does!"

Jiang Sui nodded.

Yeah, she thinks so too!

But Jiang Sui suddenly figured out something else from his boss's words.

"When was that?"

The boss thought for a moment and replied, "About this time six years ago."

Six years ago, based on the few words that Brother Haozi had said before, Jiang Sui inferred that Si Nian was just a freshman in college at that time.

It was also from that time that Si Nian lost contact with her.

So when he took a part-time job at that time, was it to experience life, or did the Si family just ignore him at that time?

Jiang Sui guessed that the latter was more likely.

"So has he been working here part-time since then?"

The boss nodded.

"Never left?"

Jiang Sui had some doubts.

The boss thought for a moment and said, "Oh, yes! He was away for two years, and I didn't ask him about it when he came back."

"Which two years?"

"What? Did the beautiful girl treat me as a criminal and try me?"

The boss suddenly changed the subject and started teasing Jiang Sui.

Jiang Sui was a little embarrassed, "No, I was just curious and asked casually."

She thought the boss would not answer her, but unexpectedly, after teasing her, he still told her.

"He came back a year ago. He was a very different person. The sparkle in his eyes was gone. And he asked me to borrow money right after he came back. It was not a small amount."

"Borrow money?"

No wonder Si Nian works day and night and is always busy.

Jiang Sui's mind started working rapidly. One year ago, or two years ago, was the time when Si Nian dropped out of school.

What happened to him at that time that made him drop out of school and disappear from the bar for two years, and then borrow money so heavily when he came back?

Could it be related to the Si family?

Jiang Sui couldn't guess the reason. Even Brother Haozi was very secretive about it and didn't allow her to mention it in front of Si Nian.

"Brother Jin!"

Si Nian had just finished his work when he found that Jiang Sui was no longer at the bar.

He had seen her chatting with the bar owner before, so he went upstairs to see if she was with the owner now.

Si Nian was just coming up the stairs when he saw Jiang Sui and the boss standing at the entrance.

The boss was standing leisurely against the stair railing with his hands in his trouser pockets.

Jiang Sui was standing opposite him, his brows slightly furrowed and his expression somewhat solemn.

"Look, your brother is chasing us! It's true! You can't leave his sight for even a moment!"

When the bar owner Cui Jin heard Si Nian call him "Brother Jin", he couldn't help but start teasing Jiang Sui again.

When Jiang Sui heard the boss emphasize the words "your brother", she understood a little what the boss had said before, "If they are not related by blood, they can't be considered brother and sister", so she blushed and subconsciously glanced at Si Nian.

"Brother Jin, please stop joking with us! The little girl is shy and can't stand being teased."

Si Nian stood beside Jiang Sui in time to rescue her.

Cui Jin smiled, "Okay! We'll see if this is a joke later."

In order to avoid embarrassing Jiang Sui, Si Nian immediately changed the subject.

"Brother Jin, I may need the car later."

Cui Jin already knew his intention, "Feel free to use it, the key is at the bar, and by the way, I'll give you a day off tonight, and you can drive the car back tomorrow when you go to work."

After Si Nian and Cui Jin expressed their gratitude, they asked Jiang Sui to wait for him there, saying that they were going to change their clothes and would be back soon.

After watching Si Nian leave, Cui Jin said to Jiang Sui, "This is the second time he borrowed my car to send you off! I guess the first time was also for you, right?"

After saying that, Cui Jin also prepared to leave.

"boss..."

Jiang Sui suddenly called him.

Cui Jin paused and looked back at her.

"Thank you!"

"Hey, what's there to thank for? It's just a small thing! Besides, Wen Jiu has already thanked you."

"I'm not talking about the car. I'm just saying thank you, boss, for telling me this today."

Cui Jin understood a little, but was also a little confused, but he didn't think about it too much.

I just felt that Wen Jiu cared about the girl very much, and the two of them looked a good match, so I wanted to help them.

Before leaving, he said to Jiang Sui, "From now on, just like Wen Jiu, call me Brother Jin."

After Brother Jin left, Si Nian changed into his normal clothes and came out to look for Jiang Sui.

The two went downstairs together, and the resident singer in the center of the stage was singing Andy Lau's "Today".

Jiang Sui stopped and looked at the stage from a distance. Suddenly he remembered something and said to Si Nian, "You can definitely sing Andy Lau's songs better than he does."

When Jiang Sui was a child, he talked on the phone with Si Nian, who had just passed the voice change period, and was immediately fascinated by his voice.

She thought at that time that if he sang Andy Lau's songs now, it would definitely sound great.

This is what she thought in her heart, and she said this to Si Nian on the phone at that time.

But Sinian laughed at her, saying that such a little kid knew Andy Lau.

"Like Andy Lau?"

Si Nian's deep and magnetic voice sounded in Jiang Sui's ears at the right time.

Jiang Sui cast his gaze on Si Nian's face, smiled faintly and nodded.

"I like him. I like his tenacity and his spirit of never giving up. He was born in a humble family and encountered many setbacks and difficulties on his way to fame, but he was never afraid of hardship or failure. He was willing to ask questions about things he didn't understand, so his success was not accidental, but inevitable."

Jiang Sui's star-chasing words successfully made Si Nian fall into deep thought.

When facing setbacks and difficulties, what is needed is the tenacity to not be afraid of hardship or defeat. Even a little girl understands this truth, so why doesn't he understand it?

Now he is not even as good as the little girl.

Si Nian also laughed. He looked at the singer on the stage and said to Jiang Sui, "You are probably the only one who can find a reason for chasing stars!"

Jiang Sui suddenly changed the topic to Si Nian, "I think you are very similar to him, not only in appearance, but also in the setbacks and difficulties you have encountered on the road to success. I also hope that you will be like my idol, with eyes always full of hope, hardworking, brave, and persevering."

Jiang Sui’s words made Si Nian’s heart suddenly skip a beat.

Did she know something?

He smiled at her, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

"Even you are starting to lecture me?"

Jiang Sui was stunned for a moment, then turned his head away a little embarrassedly, "No, I was just talking about this casually."

No one spoke until the singer finished the song.

"Let's go, your roommate is waiting for you in front of the bar!"

Jiang Sui and Si Nian walked back to the bar and saw that only Xiao Wen was sitting on the high chair.

Jiang Sui patted her shoulder and asked her, "Where is your friend?"

"He's gone! That bastard is so mean. He left me behind to pick up another girl!"

Jiang Sui was shocked. He never thought that such a gentle and well-mannered boy could be like this.

From the way Xiao Wen spoke, Jiang Sui judged that she was a little drunk.

"Okay, sister, let's go back!"

Jiang Sui helped Xiao Wen up from the high chair and let her lean on his shoulder.

But Xiao Wen was too heavy, and when her weight pressed down on him, Jiang Sui almost fell down.

Fortunately, Si Nian acted in time and grabbed Xiao Wen's other arm.

"Brother, please take Xiao Wen's bag."

Now you are calling me brother again, isn’t it “hello”?

This girl!

Si Nian helplessly hooked the bag on the high chair with one hand, continued to pull Xiao Wen's arm with the other hand, and together with Jiang Sui carried him to the parking lot.

It was still the same Land Rover they had sat in when they first met that day. Si Nian opened the back door and he and Jiang Sui pushed Xiao Wen in.

Jiang Sui originally wanted to sit in the back seat with Xiao Wen so that he could take care of her.

Helplessly, as soon as Xiao Wen got into the car, he lay down on the seat.

Jiang Sui glanced at Si Nian, who closed the back door and said to Jiang Sui, "Sit in the passenger seat!"

The car was driving on the road, and the only sounds in the car were breathing and a few drunken words coming from the back seat from time to time.

"Jiang Sui, if you ever get drunk and become a puddle of mud and I see you, I will definitely break your legs!"

Jiang Sui was stunned by Si Nian's sudden harsh words.

Then she smiled.

He is really the worst person, saying the harshest words.

Whenever she got into trouble as a child, didn't he scare her harshly like this? But when did he actually hit her?

Every time I raise it high and then put it down gently, with loud thunder but small raindrops.

"Don't worry, I won't."

Jiang Sui's soft voice cut through the dark space in the car and also slipped into Si Nian's heart.

He looked straight ahead, and even though he knew she was being very well behaved, he still couldn't help but give her some more instructions.

"Don't go to bars anymore, especially not alone. It's unsafe."

After that, he was silent for a while, and then said, "Try not to go!"

Although Jiang Sui was not very enthusiastic about going to the bar, she still felt a little unhappy about Si Nian's restrictions and control over her.

Then her stubbornness came back again.

"Then you don't go there every day?"
