Become a stepmother and save the male protagonist of the painful literary school

The corner of his mouth curled up a smile, and he asked Jian Yan who was standing beside him: "Didn't you promise me that you would stop drinking for the sake of your health? Explain to Mr. Jian quickly, or I will become a bad guy who forces others to do things against their will."

They look like a couple who get along very well.

Jane Yan moved her lips and wanted to say something, but she felt the sinister gaze of the person sitting opposite her staring at her, and her body couldn't help but shiver.

He forced a smile on his face, "Indeed, if you hadn't told me I would have forgotten. I really can't and won't drink anymore."

After saying this, she felt as if there were countless sharp swords flying in the air in front of her, and she was about to be strangled to death by Jian Yao in the next moment.

Not being able to drink anymore meant that she was now Mrs. Tong and could no longer have anything to do with anyone else; not drinking anymore meant that she wanted to cut off all ties with Jian Yao.

Jian Yao looked at the woman and said, "You're quitting drinking for the sake of your health? How come I didn't know that you were not in good health?"

She was silent for a moment, then answered:

"It's something that happened recently, so of course my brother doesn't know."

"I have lived in the Jian family for more than 20 years and have never had any health problems. How come I became ill after only half a year in Jiangcheng..."

Jian Yao hesitated to speak, his words lingering in a thought-provoking tone, and then added jokingly, "Of course, I don't mean to say that the Tong family didn't take good care of her, it's just that they cared too much about her."

"Please don't mind, Director Tong. Yanyan and I have been close since we were young."

Such a tone, such words, a naked provocation!

Tong Ruixiao narrowed her eyes, holding the cup with her hands so tightly that they turned pale, but her face was smiling without any anger, "It's normal for brothers and sisters to have a good relationship, why would I mind?"

"I should thank you and the Jian family for taking care of her for so many years on behalf of Xiao Jian. After all, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have met her and fallen in love with her."

When Jian Yan heard him say the word "love", she felt goose bumps on her arms and a chill on her back.

"We have a very close relationship now, and it is all thanks to Mr. Jian." Tong Ruixiao said with a smile, holding her hand and looking into her eyes.

The four words "deep feelings" were pronounced clearly and distinctly, and said to the person who was interested.

Jian Yao looked at the two people being so harmonious in front of him, his eyes were gloomy and the veins on his forehead were throbbing faintly.

He took a sip of wine, and the spicy taste on the tip of his tongue brought him back to his senses.

Clench your back teeth to control yourself.

He put down the wine glass and said with a smile, "The relationship is very strong... It is of course very good to be able to unite the two families of Jian and Tong."

The magnetic voice was secretive and carried an almost imperceptible puzzlement, "It's just..."

Tong Ruixiao's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly, "What's the matter?"

"Nothing." Jian Yao looked back and forth between the two of them, hesitating to speak, with a half-smile on his face.

Finally, he sighed, "It's great to have such a strong relationship!"

The word "ridicule" is just missing from his face.

Tong Ruixiao naturally understood what he was implying.

It was simply that although Jian Yan and he were married on the surface, her heart was with Jian Yao.

From another perspective, the concubine is bullying the original wife.

Although Jian Yan did not cheat on her, Jian Yao was not only not her lover, but also an extremely dangerous lunatic who saw through her at a glance.

This matter was originally her own, and she could still find a solution after going back and thinking carefully.

Unfortunately, he ran into Tong Ruixiao.

Her hair was messy, her lipstick was smudged, and she looked extremely disheveled. One could guess at a glance what she had done.

Even jumping into the Yellow River cannot wash it away.

She knew that this independent restaurant was popular, but she never expected that Tong Ruixiao would have a dinner here.

This lunch can’t be called a Hongmen Banquet, it should be called a Shura Field.

Everyone knows the truth, but no one points it out, and every word they say is full of sarcasm and innuendo.

Both sides were hypocritical, and the atmosphere maintained a strange balance.

She felt like her heart was on a roller coaster, beating violently up and down, and her breathing was strained.

The string in my head was tense, fearing that Jian Yao would say something he shouldn't and break this balance.

She couldn't imagine that scene.

Tong Ruixiao is not a good person and will not let her go...

In fact, when he was wiping the corner of her mouth, she felt with fear that her body was falling infinitely and had fallen into an abyss.

Sooner or later, everyone will die.

Just waiting for the moment when the executioner drops the knife.

Jian Yao and Tong Ruixiao spoke one sentence each, and on the surface they said nice words, but everyone present knew that these were sugar-coated bullets.

Every sentence is full of sharp thorns.

The three of them didn't eat much of the food, but they were full from the sharp words spoken one by one.

After half an hour of torment, Jian Yan finally saw hope that it would end.

Jian Yao shook his wine glass and toasted her, smiling meaningfully at her, "Brother, you still have to drink wine. Isn't it also said in medicine that a little drinking can soothe your mood?"

"In Beijing, birthdays are always celebrated with toasts. My brother has come all the way to Jiangcheng, so Yanyan can't even refuse the etiquette of a glass of wine, right?"

It looked like he was forcing her to drink a glass before he would give up.

"That's true..."

Jian Yan was hesitant. She was really afraid of angering this evil star. She put down the chopsticks in her hand and was about to reach for the wine glass beside her.

But he was taken a step forward by a strong hand with distinct bones.

She looked suddenly at Tong Ruixiao.

The other party held the wine glass and smiled at Jian Yao who was sitting in front of her, "Mr. Jian is joking. The medicine she took conflicts with alcohol, so she can't drink it at all. Since this is your capital's custom, it really can't be changed. Husband and wife are one, so it's okay for me to drink this glass."

Tong Ruixiao raised his glass, as if to clink glasses with others.

Jian Yao didn't move, just stared at him.

The atmosphere became dead silent.

Jian Yan's face turned pale, and he wanted to end this session by saying, "Even if you don't want to drink it..."

The person on the other side moved.

He casually picked up the brandy glass, gently shook it, and used the temperature of his palm to warm the wine. He had no intention of clinking glasses with it.

Show disregard and indifference to the fullest.

If it were someone else, they would have been unable to bear the humiliation and would have flew into a rage.

Can……

Jian Yan looked at Tong Ruixiao. He was smiling and in a good mood the whole time, and he was not at all unhappy because of the other party's deliberate neglect.

Instead, he kept it raised, waiting for the other person to clink glasses.

She thought to herself, Tong Ruixiao is really decent.

Ordinary people don’t have this kind of magnanimity.

It is difficult enough to talk calmly with your wife or lover. It takes extraordinary patience to ignore the provocation and contempt of the other party.

After a long while, Jian Yao held out his wine glass, and a sarcastic smile appeared on his lips. "Since Director Tong is drinking on my behalf, I can't say anything wrong."

When the glasses collide, there is a crisp "ding" sound.

Jian Yan accidentally caught a glimpse of Jian Yao's look as he glanced over at her. It was as if he was aiming at his prey, but also as if he was being manipulated by him. Her heart skipped a beat.

Put down your wine glass, this absurd banquet should come to an end.

The two men stood up to say goodbye, but they still had to pretend to be polite.
