"Don't even mention her. If it were me, I would also shield Brother Jiu from bullets." " Xiao Shi's expression was serious and solemn. "Don't tell anyone about it either. If Brother Jiu hears it, he'll cut you off."
"I told you before. Just don't betray me." "
"Am I that kind of person, a brother? How do you look at me?"
Zhao Que thought for a moment and then said, "But Miss Xin is beautiful and gentle, and has a pleasant voice. Why have I never heard Brother Jiu mention her before?"
Xin Gan stood at the corner, listening to their voices getting farther and farther away. It seemed that he had gone out and not gone upstairs.
She didn't go downstairs until there was completely no sound.
Xin Gan pursed her lips, her face still pale.
The landlady wasn't in the inn. The waiter was cleaning the tables. She asked, "Can we still order now?"
The waiter said, "Are you going to have breakfast?" Sorry, there is no chef in the kitchen today. He has asked for leave and gone home. The child is ill. If you want to have breakfast, you can go to the nearby street.
The inn is not particularly large and is run by local people. During the off-season for tourism, there are few customers. To cut costs, the inn doesn't hire so many workers, so there is only one chef and two waiters.
Xin Gan just needs to take the money to the street to buy breakfast.
Not long after she stepped out, the sky began to change. The boundless skyline was pitch-black. Eagles were circling in the air over the vast fields. People were in a hurry on the street. Vendors selling local specialties by the roadside hurriedly packed up and went home.
Xin Gan found a breakfast shop and ordered a bowl of beef noodles to eat. The taste was light and the portion of beef was generous. She ate very slowly. No one knew her, so she felt a little more at ease.
It started raining heavily outside. She couldn't walk without an umbrella. The owner of the breakfast shop didn't urge her to leave either. Anyway, it was raining, so she just stayed in the shop for a while longer.
The phone suddenly rang. Xin Gan took it out and saw it was a strange local number she didn't recognize. When she picked it up, she heard Jiang Tang's voice coming from the other end.
It's me, Jiang Tang.
Xin Gan asked, "Hello, why do you have my number?"
It was Cheng Jiu who told me. I couldn't find you when I came back to the inn. It's raining so hard. Where did you go?
I have breakfast outside.
You didn't bring an umbrella, did you? Where are you? Send me your location and I'll bring you an umbrella.
Xin Gan felt embarrassed to ask her to come all the way here, so he said, "No need. I'll be back when the rain eases up a bit."
Jiang Tang: "I don't know when this rain will stop. You're new here and don't know anyone. I'm afraid you'll get lost. Xin Gan, can I call you like this?" Give me the address and I'll go and find you.
Xin Gan recalled what Xiao Shi had said at the inn just now. Jiang Tang had shielded Cheng Jiu from bullets, so they had fought side by side and been through thick and thin together.
She wants to dissolve this marriage and seems to have found a breakthrough.
If Cheng Jiu doesn't like her and she doesn't like him either, then everything can be settled.
"Ok. I'm sorry to trouble you." Xin Gan said indifferently.
Jiang Tang came over soon. She was holding an umbrella, with short hair reaching her ears, wearing form-fitting jeans and a leather jacket. Her walking posture was full of vigor and vitality, very agile.
It was only then that Xin Gan noticed she was very tall, at least half a head taller than her. She was only 166 meters tall, while Jiang Tang should be over 1.7 meters.
On the way back, Xin Gan thanked her. She smiled and said, "Don't be so polite to me. I know Cheng Jiu very well. We are on par with each other. You are Cheng Jiu's friend, that is, my friend."
Xin Gan was still in a hurry when she heard Jiang Tang ask again, "Cheng Jiu told me yesterday that you're not his relative. We made a mistake. Hey, why didn't you say it earlier? I thought you were his sister and wanted to call you sister."
