"Can you be the same as me?"
Si Nian was so angry that he laughed.
"Besides, I'm going to work, not to play."
Although he knew this was the case, Jiang Sui was still a little unconvinced.
"Then I will only go to your bar from now on. With you here, where else can I go without feeling safe?"
While driving, Si Nian glanced at Jiang Sui.
Although she looks well-behaved, she actually has a restless heart.
"I can't take care of you all the time."
Jiang Sui didn't care, muttering, "What about Brother Jin? Can he still make me feel unsafe in his territory?"
Si Nian couldn't help but glance at her sideways. This girl had even conquered his boss in just one night, and she also called Brother Jin.
"Don't bother Brother Jin, and keep a good distance from him."
When Jiang Sui heard this, he ignored the superficial meaning of his words, but grasped another key meaning.
"So you agree that I can go?"
Si Nian was helpless, "Do you really want to go? You can't drink!"
Jiang Sui said without hesitation, "Because you are here!"
Then she suddenly realized something was wrong and added, "It's mainly because I like to listen to singers sing live."
Jiang Sui's words made Si Nian's heart stagnate. He didn't know whether to be happy or worried. His mind was in a mess.
Xiao Wenming was still drunk when she got in the car just now, but when the car stopped outside the school gate, Jiang Sui saw her suddenly climbed up from the back seat.
Then she suddenly leaned her head closer to the two people in front of her, "Brother Sui Sui, thank you for the wine today, it's delicious, very delicious!"
Jiang Sui glanced at Si Nian, but Si Nian's expression didn't change.
Xiao Wen patted Jiang Sui's shoulder again and said, "I'm going to go back first. You can chat with your brother for a while."
After saying that, without waiting for Jiang Sui's reaction, she jumped out of the car alone, threw her bag over her shoulder, and staggered towards the school gate.
Jiang Sui was dumbfounded. He was so drunk just now that he needed someone to carry him, but now he could walk on his own.
Si Nian, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said to Jiang Sui, "Don't you need to go see her?"
Jiang Sui thought that Xiao Wen could still walk, and since it was at school, there shouldn't be any problem.
So she replied, "It seems she can do it, and the school is safe."
In fact, Jiang Sui also wanted to take this opportunity to talk to Si Nian again.
"Um."
Si Nian responded and set his eyes on the steering wheel.
He didn't tell her to leave, nor did he tell her to stay a little longer.
Just remained silent.
Jiang Sui didn't know where to start for a moment.
She didn't say anything, but her mind was racing.
After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Sui suddenly remembered what Xiao Wen had just said to Si Nian.
She asked Si Nian, "Did you treat Xiao Wen to a drink?"
Si Nian then turned his gaze to Jiang Sui. He looked up and said, "Yeah."
"Why?"
"Considering it as a thank you!"
Jiang Sui couldn't understand how there could be any interaction between the two of them.
Could it be that Xiao Wen confessed his feelings to Si Nian while she was away?
After all, Xiao Wen kept whispering in her ear that he wanted to be her sister-in-law.
"Did she tell you?"
Jiang Sui began to feel a little depressed, and he lowered his head and twisted his fingers.
Si Nian looked at her in confusion and asked, "What did she say to me?"
Jiang Sui raised his head and looked at him for a moment, then replied, "Nothing!"
Didn’t say?
Just don't say it.
She doesn't want to see her best friend dating her brother in front of her yet.
Why did her heart start to feel sour and uncomfortable when she thought about Si Nian dating someone else, holding hands, hugging, or even kissing him one day in the future?
"Any thing else?"
When Si Nian saw Jiang Sui’s gradually frowning brows, he couldn’t help but ask her.
Jiang Sui thought Si Nian was going to start chasing people away again, so she remembered that she hadn't said what she wanted to say yet.
"Um... I heard from Brother Jin that you borrowed money from him?"
Si Nian looked at Jiang Sui in shock, but after a moment, he turned his head and moved his gaze to the outside of the car window.
He had tried hard to solve the problem, but she still found out.
At this moment he just felt a little embarrassed, and the last thing he wanted was to let her know.
As soon as Jiang Sui asked this question, she saw Si Nian's expression dim, his lips were pressed into a straight line, and he refused to look at her again.
She regretted that she shouldn't have asked him so bluntly and embarrassed him.
She also lowered her head and pursed her lips.
"Well, something happened last year and I needed money urgently, so I borrowed it."
Seeing Si Nian answered, she looked up at him again.
"How much did you borrow?"
"Not much!"
Seeing Jiang Sui asking again, Si Nian frowned and his emotions began to fluctuate.
Hearing Si Nian's bad tone, Jiang Sui lowered his eyebrows and explained, "If it's not a lot, grandma and mom left me some money, I can give it to you first..."
"No need! I'm already paying it back!"
Before Jiang Sui could finish his words, Si Nian rejected him with a cold face.
Knowing that she had embarrassed him, he was angry, but she was not feeling well either.
Jiang Sui endured the discomfort in his heart and continued to finish his words.
"Brother, I don't mean anything else. I just want you to have an easier life. Besides, the money is just sitting there and I won't be able to use it. Why not give it to you..."
"Why not? You're not going abroad?"
Si Nian continued to refute her in a calm voice.
Jiang Sui was stunned for a moment. She hadn’t thought about this yet.
Going abroad does require money.
But right now, she didn't want to see Si Nian suffering so much.
"It will take at least a year for me to go abroad, and I'm not sure if it will work. What if I fail the assessment? Even if I pass, I still have Lao Jiang!"
Jiang Sui's expression was a little gloomy, but she pretended to be relaxed and said to Si Nian, "No matter how unhappy the quarrel between me and Lao Jiang is , I am his only daughter for the time being, and he will not ignore me! You don't have to worry about my going abroad."
Hearing Jiang Sui say this, Si Nian felt like countless hands were grabbing his heart.
His eyes were hot and he didn't dare to look at the girl next to him.
He thought, why is his Sui Sui so good!
She knew that he had borrowed money, but she didn't ask him the reason, nor did she despise him. She even used the inheritance left by her grandmother and mother to pay off his debts.
How could he not be moved to tears?
Even though she had many dissatisfactions with his father in her heart, she was still willing to bow to his father for him.
But how could he bear to let her be like this?
So he continued to reject her with a cold face.
"I will take care of my own business! Don't meddle in my business! Don't touch the money, just keep it for your overseas use."
At this moment, listening to Si Nian speaking to him in such a cold and stern tone, Jiang Sui could no longer bear the grievance in his heart.
Her eyes were moist as she stared out the windshield in front of her.
"Si Nian, now, do you regard me as a family member from the bottom of your heart?"
Si Nian remained silent and did not answer.
Jiang Sui lowered his head and let his tears flow down, wetting the back of his hand.
"But I have always regarded you as my closest family member...Now that my family is in trouble, do you want me to take the money and go abroad alone to enjoy myself? Do you want to watch you work all day without eating or sleeping, and finally exhaust yourself?"
Jiang Sui wiped the tears from his face and tilted his head to look at Si Nian.
"Brother! I'm telling you, I can't do it!"
After Jiang Sui finished speaking, without waiting for Si Nian to react, he opened the door, jumped out of the car, and ran towards the school.
When Si Nian saw Jiang Sui running back crying, he punched the steering wheel in frustration.
The "beep beep beep" sound of the Land Rover's horn instantly resounded through the night sky outside the Shanghai University campus.
After Jiang Sui ran back crying that day, he never contacted Si Nian again.
Si Nian never looked for her once.
Even though they had agreed to visit her regularly, he didn't come when the time came.
It was clearly not a quarrel, but it ended up with no one paying attention to each other.
Jiang Sui didn't contact Si Nian because she was very angry that he refused to accept her money.
Why didn't Si Nian contact Jiang Sui?
Is he also angry because of my accusations against him?
These days Jiang Sui often thought about what she said that day that made him unhappy. It seemed like nothing, but it also seemed like every word made him unhappy.
Forget it, let’s put it aside for now. She is still angry.
Jiang Sui was carrying his schoolbag and thinking about something on the way to the library when suddenly someone patted his shoulder from behind.
She turned her head and saw it was Zhou Chengye.
She gave him a curved smile.
Zhou Cheng also walked to her side and asked her, "What's wrong? You don't look very interested?"
Jiang Sui shook his head and pursed his lips, "Nothing."
"Oh, I was looking for you!"
Zhou Cheng also seemed to suddenly remember something.
Jiang Sui tilted his head and looked at him puzzledly.
"What do you want from me? Is there any new developments in the project team?"
Because she was in a bad mood, she hadn't attended the project team's intensive classes for several days. She wondered if something had changed.
Zhou Cheng was also stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "No, I have something to ask you personally."
"Oh, what is it?"
"I want to thank you for what happened at the bar last time. They were guests from the embassy. I accompanied them out for a while on behalf of my father, but I didn't expect something went wrong in the middle of the trip."
Zhou Cheng also mentioned what happened at the bar last time, and Jiang Sui shook his head at him.
"You don't have to thank me. I'm just doing a favor for the bar owner."
Zhou Cheng also nodded in understanding, "No wonder...but those guests all praised you very much."
Jiang Sui smiled at him and said nothing.
"By the way, what I want to talk to you about is that there is a small international online venture capital conference in Tongli Ancient Town this weekend. I have accepted the translation work for the conference, but I may not be able to take care of it by myself... So, I want to ask if you have time to come and help?"
Zhou Cheng also finished speaking and looked at Jiang Sui sincerely.
Jiang Sui didn't react for a moment after hearing this.
Zhou Cheng also thought that she was hesitant and didn't want to go, so he quickly added, "Of course, there is a reward!"
Jiang Sui suddenly laughed, "You make me sound like a snob. Am I not willing to help you without compensation?"
Zhou Cheng also smiled sheepishly, "So, you agreed?"
Jiang Sui nodded, "Yes, I'll go."
She thought that since Si Nian had ignored her recently and she was not in a good mood, she might as well take the opportunity to go out for a walk and appreciate the scenery of the ancient town. She could also make some money. Isn't it killing two birds with one stone?
This weekend's itinerary was simply decided.
Because there was a whole day of meetings on Saturday, Jiang Sui and Zhou Cheng had to rush to Tongli on Friday night.
On Friday afternoon, Zhou Cheng also drove a Volkswagen Passat to Jiang Sui Building to pick her up.
Jiang Sui was stunned when he came downstairs dragging his suitcase.
"Shall we drive?"
Zhou Cheng was also suspicious, "Well, what's wrong?"
Jiang Sui shook his head, "Nothing!"
In fact, she was worried that during the nearly one and a half hour journey, she might vomit in the car.
That would be embarrassing.
She actually suffers from motion sickness.
It's not noticeable over short distances, but when she's on the bus for a long time, her stomach starts to churn uncontrollably.
Zhou Cheng also put Jiang Sui's suitcase into the trunk. Jiang Sui was invited by him to sit in the passenger seat, and soon the two of them set off.
When the car turned onto the main road, Jiang Sui finally couldn't help but ask Zhou Chengye, "Um, do you have any plastic bags in your car?"
Zhou Cheng was also concentrating on driving, and Jiang Sui's question made him briefly stunned.
"It seems not. This car belongs to my father. I'm not sure. What's wrong?"
Jiang Sui felt a little embarrassed, but still told Zhou Chengye the truth.
She might get carsick on the road, so in order to avoid dirtying his car, she had to prepare a few plastic bags before getting on the highway in case of emergency.
