"Tu Kun, Jia Wei, you two are truly unappreciative of your blessings. You don't know how amazing my brother-in-law is. I stayed at my sister's house for two months, and every morning, my brother-in-law would wake me up to go running, then supervise my homework, and tell me all sorts of strange and unusual knowledge. During the winter vacation, when I participated in a wilderness survival program, I managed to survive alone outside for a month. In the end, I even lived in a house! Jia Wei, since you call my brother-in-law 'Uncle', you should call me 'Uncle' too. You're in third year of junior high, right? If you have any questions, come ask me. I don't have any other abilities, but I'm good at studying. I tell you, I've never been beaten up like this before. My brother-in-law is the only one who's ever laid a hand on me."
Jiang Fan didn't hear much praise in his words, but rather self-promotion. Li Er was drunk, Guan Datou didn't say a word and just ate his food, while Tu Kun looked at Li Er with annoyance.
Li Er's real name was Li Cong. He was the second child in his family and had an older brother who lived abroad.
Jiang Fan turned to Li Er and said in a low voice, "Don't shout. Your father's position is quite special, so you should also be cautious outside. If you can't help him, don't cause any trouble. If you have time, help Jia Wei with his English. He's a bit weak in that aspect." Li Er replied, "NO PROBLEM, NOTHING BUT GOOD ENGLISH."
"Speak in Chinese."
"No problem. I'm not good at anything else, but I'm good at English. I have to communicate with our sister-in-law, right? I'll teach him during the winter vacation. But, brother-in-law! I want to give Jia Wei tutoring lessons at your house."
"Whatever you want, but I'm at work now and don't have time to play with you."
"I just bought Devil May Cry 4, but I can't beat it!"
"You can come to my house on the weekends. My sister and I have moved. You and Jia Wei should exchange contact information. Also, don't go around shouting people's names. Tu Xiao is considered your senior. Have some manners. This girl is Tu Xiao's precious daughter. When you give tutoring lessons, bring her along."
Tu Kun looked unwilling and was about to protest when Guan Datou reached out and grabbed the young lady's arm, looking up at Jiang Fan with gratitude.
For half an hour, Li Er had been boasting at the table, and Jiang Fan was really getting a headache. Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Your sister is still waiting for me at home."
After giving the hint to leave, Li Er stood up and smiled. "Take your time, brother-in-law. I'll take care of the bill."
"I'll give you two thousand."
"That's not enough."
"Then I won't give you anything."
"Alright."
This kid, Li Er, didn't have any bad intentions and wasn't arrogant. It's just that he had too much energy and couldn't keep things to himself. Initially, Li Jinhai was also worried that Li Er would cause trouble, and after discussing it with Li Jinhe several times, Li Jinhe suggested sending him to her son-in-law.
After two months, Li Er had become more obedient when he returned home. He no longer argued with his mother and, although he still didn't like Li Jinhai, at least they didn't argue anymore.
His studies had improved significantly, and he no longer stayed up late and slept until the afternoon of the next day.
Tu Kun got into Guan Junbiao's car, and Li Jiawei also obediently got in with the packed hot pot.
Outside the car, Guan Junbiao took out a cigarette, held it with both hands, and offered it to Jiang Fan, saying softly, "Brother Jiang, great kindness is not expressed with words."
Jiang Fan shrugged and smiled. "If I say this wasn't carefully arranged by me but just a coincidence, would you believe it? If Li Er becomes friends with Jia Wei and Tu Kun, that's what I would like to see. It would also prevent them from associating with unsavory people. But I don't want Tu Xiao to create any conflicts of interest between these kids. Understand?"
"I know, Brother Jiang! About Gao Lvxing,"
"Keep in touch, but don't rush to sign the contract. If Tu Xiao asks, tell him I said so, but ask him to help me out. Once your boss meets Gao Lvxing, call me immediately and let me know the details. Also, tell Tu Xiao to cut off all of Tu Kun's allowance."
"Is this related to Miss Tang's allowance?"
"Don't ask. I'm going home. Bye!"
Jiang Fan turned and left, extinguishing the half-smoked cigarette but not throwing it away; instead, he stuffed it into his pocket. This subtle gesture made Guan Dagou extremely satisfied.
In the car, Li Jiawei didn't say a word, just holding the hot pot in his hands seriously. When they returned to the apartment complex and stepped out of the elevator, Li Jiawei turned to Jiang Fan with a smile.
"Uncle Jiang, thank you."
Jiang Fan smiled.
"Did Tu Kun tell you? Study hard and strive to make the Tu family look at you with new respect one day. Don't be like Uncle Jiang, growing up without any achievements."
Li Jiawei bounded away, and Jiang Fan also went upstairs. Just as he opened the door, Tang Wan rushed over, searching through the bags in Jiang Fan's hands for what she wanted. Looking at Tang Wan's attire, Jiang Fan frowned.
"You're wearing this? Why aren't you freezing to death?"
Tang Wan wore Jiang Fan's white shirt on top and only a short pants on the bottom, exposing her long, slender legs to the air. She ran around the living room barefoot. Not finding the ice cream she wanted, Tang Wan looked up at Jiang Fan with a怨 look and said pitifully,
"Brother Fan, I want ice cream."
Jiang Fan handed the hot pot to Tang Wan and frowned.
"You look like an ice cream. I'll put you in the fridge later, and you'll calm down. Wait five days to eat it."
"I won't want to eat it after five days. Hmm? Clear soup? Brother Fan! I want to eat spicy."
"Get ready. I'll take you to your mom's."
"Then you go heat it up."
Jiang Fan snorted, took off his shoes, and walked into the kitchen. He took out alcohol blocks, a stand, and a copper pot. Soon, the room was filled with the scent of hot pot. Jiang Fan went to the second floor and came down with an extra pair of pants.
"I'm going to open the window. Put on these pants."
"I'll wear them after eating. I'm not cold. Jiang Fan, are you a man? I carefully prepared to tempt you, but you have no reaction at all?"
"Seduce me to buy you ice cream?"
It's not that Jiang Fan had no reaction. Until now, he dared not look at Tang Wan's legs. Her legs were simply too perfect.
5:8
The golden ratio made her legs look extremely perfect, white and slender. If she used her legs as a leg model, she might ruin the careers of many other leg models. Jiang Fan sat on the sofa and told Tang Wan about encountering Li Er that evening. Tang Wan didn't take it to heart and just responded with an "oh."
After eating a few bites, Tang Wan lost her appetite. She stood up, walked to the sofa, and sat down next to Jiang Fan, or rather, nestled next to him. She grabbed Jiang Fan's arm with both hands and said in a pitiful, soft voice,
"Jiang Fan! I want to eat ice cream. Just one bite, okay?"
"No way! Don't even think about it."
"Brother Fan, just one bite."
"One bite is not allowed. Tang Wan, can you stop tormenting me every time you have your period?"
"Husband..."
"Fuck! One bite, you said it! If you take more than one bite, I'll send you back."
Jiang Fan stood up and went downstairs. As he stepped out the door, he slapped himself.
What a loser!
Did he give in just because she called him "husband"?
In the living room, Tang Wan hugged a pillow and rolled on the sofa, her face flushed and hot.
What a loser!
Did she throw away her dignity just for an ice cream?
