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

"I always feel..."

Not much of an assistant.

In other words, it is not just about being an assistant.

When facing Meng Jiangshu, Wen Yao was gentle and polite, with gentle and respectful eyes. The eyes he glanced at were calm but terrifyingly cold, extremely xenophobic, like a wolf fiercely protecting its master.

This is not a deliberate action, but a clue that is inadvertently revealed after being thoroughly immersed.

I think it was because he also heard the summary she said to Meng Jiangshu, so he became wary of her.

But even so, it is impossible for an ordinary assistant to protect his boss like this.

As if afraid that she would get hurt.

Tong Ruixiao didn't know why she was thinking: "What?"

She smiled and shook her head, perhaps overthinking it, "Nothing, I just feel that Mr. Meng and this assistant have a deep relationship."

"You are from Beijing, don't you know about the Meng family? I haven't lived in Beijing for a long time, but I have heard a rumor in the business circle that Wen Yao has been raised in the Meng family since he was a child, and he and Mr. Meng are like brothers. On the surface, he is an assistant, but in reality, they are brothers and sisters."

"Brother and sister?"

Jian Yan was stunned for a moment, "I only know that the Meng family in Yanjing was very prosperous in the past, but I have never seen the Meng family, nor have I heard of these things."

"By the way, Mr. Tong actually listens to such gossip and rumors. I thought you didn't pay attention to such things."

She smiled with eyes curved.

He looked at her eyebrows and his eyes softened, "I heard it at the dinner party, it's not a secret."

After dinner, there was an exquisite cake at the end.

Tong Huaimu ate a piece as well since it was her birthday.

Jian Yan: "Is it sweet?"

"Unappetizing."

The boy's answer was crisp and clear, making her laugh.

"I'll make one for you in a couple of days. It's guaranteed to be delicious. Okay?"

Tong Huaimu: "Are you trying to trick me?"

"No," she spread her hands, "I just think it's a pity that you don't have dessert and can't enjoy it."

He curled his lips, "Huh."

Tong Ruixiao watched the two people bickering like elementary school students at leisure, and shook his head and smiled helplessly.

"You two don't feel childish."

Now, they both turned to look at him, "How is that childish?"

He could only give in, "Okay, okay, you are not childish. I am the one who is childish, okay?"

Jian Yan found him interesting and actually started a conversation with him.

There is a sense of contrast.

She still remembered that when she first met Tong Ruixiao, she thought he was deep and complex, and seemed out of touch with the world. She could never imagine him joking with others.

"Just admit that you are childish."

She was happy.

He looked at her with a smile and did not refute. As long as she was happy, everything was right.

……

After my birthday, time passed even faster.

Jian Yan and Meng Jiangshu had a meal and talked about some topics such as paintings.

She thought they would never meet again, but a few days later, Meng Jiangshu gave her a ticket to the auction dinner and invited her to attend.

When I returned from the dinner that night, it was already twelve o'clock in the morning.

Tong Ruixiao watched her come back without any hesitation, and asked with interest: "Didn't you see any works you liked today?"

"There was only one, but Ms. Meng liked it, so I gave it to her. But it was worth the trip to see so many excellent works."

He brought her a cup of hot water, but he smelled alcohol on her, so he didn't ask any more questions. It was normal to drink some alcohol at a banquet.

He just said, "You seem to have a good relationship with Mr. Meng."

She thought for a moment and smiled.

"Maybe it's because of the cooperation between you two that I was invited. But President Meng is indeed a likable person."

"You were invited because of your personal charm. It has nothing to do with me."

Tong Ruixiao: "Why else didn't she invite me?"

When she thought about it carefully, it seemed to be the case.

He chuckled, "You said she is likable, but actually you are more likable."

"It's good to go out and kill time, otherwise it's boring to stay at home."

He could still make suggestions with a smile now, but later when Jian Yan started going out frequently, he began to regret it.

December has quietly arrived.

Because Meng Jiangshu invited him intentionally, Jian Yan gradually became familiar with her.

"Mr. Meng, are you in a good mood today?"

"Well, I went to the capital for a walk and met someone."

Meng Jiangshu reacted, and while waiting for the red light, she put her hands on the steering wheel and scolded her: "You always call me so strangely, people who don't know would think we are colleagues. Just call me Jiangshu."

Jian Yan felt a little embarrassed because the other person's smile was so charming that she couldn't refuse him. She tentatively called out, "...Jiang Shu?"

The two were of similar age, Jian Yan was one year older than Meng Jiangshu. But in terms of aura and way of dealing with things, Meng Jiangshu looked more mature and stable, while she was more indifferent.

"Hey, Yanyan, this is right."

In the past, when she heard Jian Yao call her like this, she felt her scalp tingling and wanted to escape.

But after Meng Jiangshu started calling her that, she got used to it.

I even think this name is quite intimate.

In the snowy weather, the two drove to Chuncheng because Meng Jiangshu said she wanted to take her to relax.

Jian Yan didn't object. After all, she had nothing else to do except running the dessert shop.

And it's also nice to relax and have a SPA to relax your mind.

But when she arrived at her destination in Chuncheng, she realized she was wrong.

Enter a clubhouse and walk through a corridor of low-key luxury.

When I opened the door, I saw young male waiters wearing uniforms and various chain collars. They were all in their early twenties and had handsome looks.

She recalled the name of the club - Heaven on Earth.

As soon as Meng Jiangshu arrived, all the male waiters crowded around and called her "Sister" one after another, as if she was a piece of gold and they could get countless money by just touching her.

Jian Yan followed behind him, and although he was very cautious, he couldn't avoid the pleading voice entering his ears.

"Sister, would you like to order a drink?"

In the conference hall, ladies of all kinds were drinking and chatting. They were wearing mink coats and heavy diamonds on their hands. The twinkling lights shone on the diamonds, reflecting dazzling light.

Jian Yan realized that this was definitely not the relaxing place she had imagined.

"Jiang Shu, this..."

Meng Jiangshu noticed her hesitation and raised her eyebrows. "Isn't this a marriage of convenience? Why does your family still care about you going out to play?"

She shook her head. “It’s not his business, but I’ve never been to a place like this.”

She had been to a club where huge sums of money were spent, but she was thrown there by Si Yanchen as revenge, and everyone could bully her.

Meng Jiangshu tapped her forehead with her finger and said teasingly, "Oh, rare, there aren't many girls like you who are rare."

"This is a bar, and there's a show going on inside. Let's go and take a look."

Her face was burning with anxiety, but she followed him reluctantly.

Unlike Meng Jiangshu who was familiar with the situation, she seemed uneasy.

Meng Jiangshu said to her, "Today is a big show, and the top star is coming out. I spent a lot of money trying to see him but failed, because he went to accompany the official's wife."
