The Heiress Acts Mischievously, But Her Family Can Read Her Mind novel Chapter 422

Chapter 422: Chapter 421: You Can Also Be My Brother-in-law

Lu Qingyan pondered, then replied, "It really depends on his own choice. Initially, his family didn’t need him for a marriage alliance, but his elder brother is already married. Now, he is the only one in the family who isn’t married, so he could choose other ways to solve the problem, though it might take a longer time."

Seeing Jiang Nanshu looking at him, he smiled, "Don’t count on me. I really can’t help with the Yang Family’s issues. There are too many complications involved—bankruptcy would still be considered lucky, but the fear is getting involved in a scandal and ending up in jail. Therefore, the Yang Family chose a girl whose parents hold government positions for Yang Jiashu. She’s the only daughter in her family."

Jiang Nanshu frowned slightly, now having a clearer understanding.

The matters of the Yang Family were probably not easy to solve.

In this world, just having money was useless, power was also needed.

Power was the real pass.

"You don’t need to worry about this. Whether he can be with Xu Xi depends entirely on him."

Jiang Nanshu: "..."

She glanced at Lu Qingyan, "I didn’t say I wanted to deal with this. I never interfere with other people’s relationships, I don’t even understand my own all that well."

Lu Qingyan smiled faintly, "Fortunately, we still have a long time to learn together. Eventually, we will understand, Nannan."

He lowered his head to look at the ring on his ring finger, still the one Jiang Nanshu had given him, just slightly enlarged. Things between them would be fine, he would walk a long-lasting path with Jiang Nanshu, all the way to the end of life.

Jiang Nanshu actually understood a bit now, just like her willingness to give a ring to Lu Qingyan, loving and being loved was a necessary process in life.

She hadn’t understood it before, but now she could.

Because she had accepted Lu Qingyan, she was willing to be with him.

However, about the matter of pregnancy, she still had some reservations.

A little life came abruptly into her side, when she hadn’t been prepared at all. She sighed in her heart, looked at Lu Qingyan’s dark eyes and changed the topic, "Does Yang Jiashu like Xixi?"

Lu Qingyan focused on the fruit plate, quietly peeling grapes for Jiang Nanshu, "Yes, it’s obvious to anyone who observes. Jiashu always shows up on time wherever there’s Xu Xi. During the years you were in a coma, they spent Valentine’s Day and the Qixi Festival together, Jiashu invited her out alone under the guise of the Six Love Organization. Perhaps Xu Xi also likes Jiashu, but they just haven’t made it clear and continue to interact as friends."

Jiang Nanshu was silent, "I see."

"I’m a bit tired; I’m going to rest in my room first."

Jiang Nanshu stood up and went upstairs.

Lu Qingyan watched her leave, "I’ll call you for dinner."

Jiang Nanshu responded and disappeared around the corner.

Lu Qingyan stuffed all the remaining grapes into his mouth, they were sweet.

Gazing down, he caressed the ring on his ring finger and a gentle smile curved his lips.

Three uneventful days passed.

Jiang Nanshu almost lay in depression at home.

So, when she received a collaboration invitation from Fang Minghe, she agreed without hesitation.

She wanted to find something to do.

When she arrived at the Fang Group, it was Fang Minghe’s assistant who took Jiang Nanshu there.

This was Jiang Nanshu’s third visit to Fang Group; this time, Fang Minghe wanted her to endorse an original gemstone necklace from Fang Group.

Jiang Nanshu seldom made public appearances in the entertainment industry, but she was already a top-tier figure.

As the younger sister of the newly crowned Best Actress Jiang Leyi and the hit singer Jiang Zhouye, and sister to five brothers who were all well-known in their respective fields, she was a life winner with a husband from one of the top families in Beijing Circle—her life was like something out of a drama series that dared not depict such a reality.

What was most important was her excellence; the popular ancient costume drama starring Jiang Leyi had Jiang Nanshu as its behind-the-scenes martial arts instructor, and even the hit song that went viral included her name among the lyricists.

Because she was mysterious and had a high beauty quotient, her appearances were always sensational. Due to this, the other series endorsed by Fang Group didn’t sell nearly as well as the one endorsed by Jiang Nanshu.

However, there was very little information about Jiang Nanshu online; she was well-protected.

When she arrived at Fang Minghe’s office, he was dealing with documents, and prominently placed on his desk was a cup of milk tea.

Fang Minghe pretended not to see.

Jiang Nanshu couldn’t hold back her curiosity, her expression sincere, "Are you really my sister-in-law?"

Fang Minghe choked on a tapioca pearl, coughing violently, his face turning red.

Jiang Nanshu clicked her tongue, her tone worried, "You okay?"

Fang Minghe waved his hand, stopping the cough, "No!"

Jiang Nanshu’s eyes, shining with the light of gossip, dimmed, "Oh."

Fang Minghe half laughed, half exasperated, "Do you really hope I was your sister-in-law?"

Jiang Nanshu, biting on her straw, her tone innocent, "You could also be my brother-in-law."

"..."

God damn brother-in-law.

What kind of ridiculous word was that, how did she come up with it?

His face darkened, "I’m just good brothers with your brother, stop imagining things!"

Jiang Nanshu seemed to understand, grinning at Fang Minghe, "Don’t worry, I get it, I’ll keep your secret. No one will know."

Fang Minghe: "..."

What secret was he supposed to keep!

He and Jiang Yisen were just close friends.

He was really at his wits’ end.
