Chapter 76 I don't want to be anyone's substitute

Jiang Mian was stunned for a moment after hearing this, "I..."

Qin Yanhuai said, "If you had done a good job at his house, I wouldn't have brought this up. But it seems things aren't going too smoothly. Is that right?"

Upon hearing Qin Yanhuai's words, Jiang Mian gently bit her lip.

She looked up at him and asked, "How did you know?"

Undoubtedly, Qin Yanhuai may have been keeping an eye on her all along.

Qin Yanhuai didn't try to hide anything; he smiled gently.

"I'm sorry, I guess I have some psychological trauma, so I've always been a little uneasy and paid extra attention. I didn't mean to spy on you."

Jiang Mian had no intention of blaming anyone; upon hearing Qin Yanhuai's words, she only felt a little sad.

Did his own death really cause him psychological trauma?

"fine."

But perhaps because of Qin Yanhuai's words, Jiang Mian found it difficult to directly refuse.

She pursed her lips. "I'll think about it some more."

"Is there anything you're worried about?" Qin Yanhuai asked.

Jiang Mian sighed softly, "Little Stone likes me very much, and I like him very much too. I can take good care of him."

She looked up at Qin Yanhuai and said, "He trusts me a lot, and I don't want to disappoint the child."

These words made Jiang Yu and Qin Yanhuai both look at her.

Feeling uneasy under their gazes, Jiang Mian smiled.

"I don't really care where I work, and Mr. Lu is offering me pretty good benefits."

Jiang Yu sighed softly, "I was going to try to persuade you, but after hearing what you said, I don't want to anymore."

His gaze was fixed on Jiang Mian.

He didn't know why, but inexplicably, he could sense a certain familiarity about this woman.

Although Jiang Yu was particularly disgusted and contemptuous of Lu Bozhou's practice of finding a substitute.

But it must be said that we encountered someone who looked too much like Jiang Mian.

Jiang Yu felt that he could hardly resist developing feelings for her.

"Have you eaten?" Jiang Yu asked. "Let's have a meal together."

Jiang Yu looked her up and down. "You're too thin."

Jiang Mian knew rationally that she should politely decline; she was dead, no longer the person she once was.

You should keep your distance from them until you intend to reveal your identity.

But emotionally, she didn't want to refuse.

This is her blood brother, her childhood sweetheart.

Moreover, Jiang Feng's situation was entirely due to their help.

"Then, thank you very much."

"You're too kind. Anyway, I get really bored every time I eat with Brother Qin."

Before long, Jiang Mian frowned as she looked at the Six-Eyed Demon God parked at the door.

It looks dangerous no matter how you look at it.

What's more, Jiang Yu doesn't even have a helmet anymore!

He was at least wearing a helmet when he rode here, but he used that helmet as a weapon and threw it at Xue Ze!

Qin Yanhuai frowned as he looked at the motorcycle. "You rode this here?"

“We’re not in a rush, this is quick,” Jiang Yu said.

"He died quickly too." Qin Yanhuai said mercilessly, but Jiang Mian just wanted to cheer for him!

"If you don't want to meet your sister so soon and get a beating from her, then you'd better drive the car properly," Qin Yanhuai said, tossing his car keys to Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu didn't refuse; he simply called his secretary and asked him to find someone to come and take the motorcycle back.

I drove away from Luocheng No.1 High School.

Not long after they started driving, Jiang Mian realized that the route looked familiar.

She quickly realized that this seemed to be... the private Cantonese restaurant that Lu Bozhou had taken her to last time?

They also ran into Gong Yan's cousin, Ran Tiantian.

Jiang Mian never expected to come here.

But on second thought, it's not surprising.

Gong Yan is her best friend, and Ran Tiantian is Gong Yan's cousin.

Jiang Yu and Qin Yanhuai both knew that she had a good relationship with Gong Yan, so it was quite normal for them to help out her cousin's business.

"What's wrong?" Qin Yanhuai asked, noticing that Jiang Mian's expression seemed a little off.

"The food here is pretty good, and the flavors are mild. You've just been injured, so it's good for you to eat something light."

Jiang Mian bit her lip. "I've been here before."

Qin Yanhuai turned his head to look at him.

He knew her circumstances. The cost of living here was high, so the answer was obvious.

"Brought by Lu Bozhou?"

"Mm." Jiang Mian nodded.

Jiang Yu frowned as soon as he heard Lu Bozhou's name.

Jiang Mian didn't have any objections. It didn't matter where they went to eat, and they might not even run into Ran Tiantian.

But her beautiful idea was soon shattered.

I had just entered the private room and sat down when a figure gracefully approached.

"What brings you two here? Didn't you dislike Cantonese food, finding it too bland?"

Ran Tiantian's voice, tinged with laughter, drifted in; her voice arrived before she did.

The hem of her flowing skirt had already swept in.

Jiang Mian couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Sure enough, the figure entered the private room.

The voice, which had been filled with laughter, suddenly changed tone.

"It's you again?! Why is it always you?! You're like a persistent ghost!"

Ran Tiantian's originally sweet voice suddenly became much sharper.

Jiang Yu glanced at her and asked, "What are you doing?"

"What are you doing?! I should be asking you what you're doing! Lu Bozhou has gone mad, and you've all gone mad too?"

Ran Tiantian looked at them in disbelief.

She was probably furious, her lips trembling slightly, "The dead can't be brought back to life! Wake up! Once someone is dead, they're dead. What's the use of finding someone who looks like them!"

"Get lost!" Jiang Yu wasn't so good-tempered; he smashed a cup at him.

Of course, it wasn't aimed at her; it shattered into pieces on the ground.

However, their attitude was quite clear.

Ran Tiantian bit her lip and glared at him. After a moment, she turned around and rushed out of the private room.

Jiang Mian sighed softly, "I'm sorry to have troubled you."

"Don't worry about it," Jiang Yu said calmly.

He took a sip of tea, put the cup down, and let out a long sigh.

Then she said, "She was talking about my older sister, who died of amniotic fluid embolism during the birth of Lu Chaochi. You look a lot like her."

Qin Yanhuai's gaze drifted into the distance, a deep sadness hidden in his eyes.

Hearing Jiang Yu say this, Jiang Mian sighed softly, "I've heard Xiao Shitou mention it."

"I'm sorry," Jiang Yu said softly, "These troubles are probably all undeserved misfortunes for you."

"It's alright, these troubles are minor to me." Jiang Mian smiled faintly.

She looked up at Jiang Yu, then glanced at Qin Yanhuai.

Qin Yanhuai's gaze had been wandering a bit, but when he noticed Jiang Mian's eyes, he focused back on them.

Look at her.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Mian said directly, "This is also why I don't really want to leave President Lu's company, for the sake of Xiao Shitou."

“I don’t want to be anyone’s substitute. But if Little Stone can find solace in me, I don’t mind so much.”
