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

"We immediately checked his background and found out that he was not a driver, but an overseas thug with a criminal record for gambling. After the Haicheng police found evidence, they detained him on suspicion of attempted murder."

"That person admitted that he wanted to kill me. He wanted to destroy me along with me. But he refused to admit that there was someone behind it. We tried every possible means, but he refused to say anything."

Jian Yan pursed her lips, her expression not looking good.

"If you don't tell the truth, it will only be an attempted murder, and at most you will go to jail. If you tell the truth, you will be betraying your boss, and you will definitely die. It's obvious which is more serious."

"In prison?" Tong Ruixiao laughed, "He won't have such an easy life forever."

His smile was no different from usual, gentle and light, but Jian Yan felt a chill down his spine for some reason.

"I hope he can tell the truth before he dies and still survive." She added quietly, agreeing with what he said.

He just smiled and said nothing more.

Jian Yan thought, if Jian Yao really was the one who murdered Tong Ruixiao, something big might happen in the future.

But... does Jian Yao really have the strength to break off relations with the Tong family regardless of the consequences?

How can one have so much money and power?

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and her heart felt cold.

He suddenly asked, "Have the qualified bodyguards checked by Assistant Li been transferred here? You usually go out to do things, and I feel uneasy if you don't have someone with you."

She rejected his arrangement, "I have my own."

"Well, there have been too many things going on recently. Things will only get more tense in the future. I'm sorry that I can't give you complete security."

"If you take this responsibility, I will feel guilty."

Jian Yan smiled, and suddenly remembered something, so she went upstairs and took down two tickets for him. In his puzzled eyes, she explained, "These are the tickets that Mr. Meng asked someone to send. It's the premiere of a famous play at Jiangcheng Theater on the night of the Lantern Festival. It's a special banquet, and I thought it would be bad to refuse."

He hesitated for a moment, then took the two tickets. "Tomorrow night?"

Jian Yan and he had just experienced a threat, so it was not something to be happy about receiving an invitation. However, since he did not have many opportunities to spend time with her, he naturally accepted the two tickets with pleasure.

"Well, the theater is contracted by Jiang Shu, and only families she is close to are allowed in, so safety is not a problem. Just be careful when driving on the road."

"Do you trust President Meng so much?"

"Can't I?" She didn't understand what he wanted to ask.

"She and I belong to the same circle. We are both businessmen. You trust her so much, but you treat me like a thief. Why?"

He looked at her as he spoke, his eyes gentle behind his glasses, but his tone was a little sour.

Jian Yan opened his eyes wide, "You want to compete with Jiang Shu?"

It’s fine that I had to compete with Jian Yao before, but now I have to compete with Meng Jiangshu.

If she didn't know that he might have some other intentions towards her, she would definitely be afraid that he was setting a trap for her; but now that she knew his thoughts, in addition to basic vigilance, she also found it strange and funny that he did this.

He explained seriously: "No comparison, I just see that you are very gentle to others, but you are a different face to me, I don't understand."

"This only shows that you are not safe enough. Otherwise, why don't I do this to others, but only to you?"

With just one sentence, she shattered her self-evidence and put the blame on him, asking him to make the excuses.

Tong Ruixiao: "..."

He was already very jealous, and then he was labeled as "unsafe", which made him feel wronged.

I couldn't help but ask:

"You thought I was dangerous when you tied me up?"

"You thought I was dangerous when you were giving me alcohol?"

"When you paint on me—well…"

His mouth was suddenly covered by a hand and he could not make a sound.

Jian Yan held him tightly and looked around. Through the glass, she saw the gardener pruning branches outside and Wang Ma cleaning the railings. No one was watching them. She breathed a sigh of relief.

She released her hand that was pressing on his lips, looked at him angrily, and lowered her voice: "Keep your voice down! Is this a glorious thing?"

Tong Ruixiao raised his eyebrows and laughed at her for daring to do it but not to admit it.

When I looked up, I saw the boy standing still on the spiral staircase. He seemed to have been standing there for a long time. I immediately looked away, and my face felt hot.

He whispered, "There's someone behind you."

"what!"

Jian Yan turned around suddenly and saw a figure hurriedly returning on the stairs. The boy seemed to have seen something he shouldn't have seen, and his steps were hurried.

She suddenly had a headache.

"Xiao Mu, you won't misunderstand, right?"

"What's the misunderstanding? Isn't it normal for the two of us to do something?"

"The problem is we didn't do anything," she rued.

"Well, you just tied me up, kissed me, used my body as a drinking vessel, and painted on me... you didn't really do anything."

He finished his words slowly and took another sip of tea, like a fox with its tail raised. His appearance was still elegant and reserved, but his tone was inexplicably seductive.

Jian Yan became angry and embarrassed.

Look at how smug he is! It's as if he's happy to see her get humiliated!

He aroused her desire to win and she had to compete with him.

"You talk as if I'm threatening a decent man like you. I don't know who offered to serve me."

She sat beside him, her finger pointed at the tip of his red ear, as if she was controlling him. Inexplicably, a word came to her mind - to be in control.

The temperature felt very high when touched by the fingertips.

She raised her lips.

Look at this! I don't know what he was thinking, he got burned like this!

"If you can't say dirty words, don't say them. Your ears are red and it's very inappropriate."

The woman pinched his plump and delicate earlobe, twisted it in her hand, and rubbed it again and again, as if she had a toy.

It made his breathing disordered and his cheeks lightly pink.

Jian Yan: "Your own son saw you flirting with someone. Aren't you ashamed at your age?"

She spoke one sentence after another, and the joking tone was evident in her words.

Now, Tong Ruixiao was completely obedient.

"Okay, no more trouble."

The man held her hand and then gently moved it away, his lips tightened into a line as if he was displeased.

In fact, I was just too flustered and needed to use a serious expression to cover it up.

Jian Yan snorted and laughed, feeling that he was being bullied. His conscience pityd a little, and he turned the topic back to the tickets for the play.

"You and Xiao Mu's relationship is in urgent need of improvement, so start with this performance. Spend more time with your child and make him happy, then explain your feelings for him. Nothing can be achieved overnight, especially feelings."

He was stunned for a moment before he understood, "These two tickets are mine and his?"

"how about you?"

Jian Yan spread his hands, "When Mr. Meng sent someone to deliver the tickets, he said he was inviting the Tong family to a gathering, but he didn't say I had to go."

She is not a member of the Tong family.

"What urgent plans do you have for tomorrow night?"

"No."

"Then let's go together," he said, already angry, "You got the ticket, how can you not go?"

"What's the matter? You two should cultivate a relationship as father and son."

Tong Ruixiao's expression was rarely so serious, and he did not allow any arguments, "I can't do without you."

The Tong family cannot do without you.
