Chapter 39 Remember to call me Third Brother when we meet
Chi Ruiche didn't speak, but instead of calling Lü Haotian, he sent a text message. Jiang Yi and Chi Ruiche sat side by side. Chi Ruiche took out a cigarette, then put it back in his pocket.
"I'm going out for a bit." Chi Ruiche got up to leave, and Jiang Yi tugged at his sleeve, pursing her lips.
"Will you marry me?" Jiang Yi asked softly, her head bowed, a sense of insecurity washing over her.
"Xiao Yi, you're still young." Chi Ruiche's tone was very calm.
“I’m twenty. According to the legal age requirement, I can get my marriage certificate in six months.” Jiang Yi didn’t look up, afraid that Chi Ruiche would reject her.
“Xiao Yi, I’m seven years older than you. If you’re worried about the marriage alliance between Jiang and Chi, don’t worry, your older brother will help you sort it out. You can marry the person you like.” Chi Ruiche pretended not to understand Jiang Yi’s words, speaking softly yet distantly, word by word.
Jiang Yi awkwardly turned her head away and loosened her grip on his clothes.
Chi Ruiche walked out the door, leaned against the wall and lit a cigarette. White smoke slowly rose, his expressionless face was furrowed with brows, and his deep eyes concealed the secrets in his heart.
"Let's go." Chi Ruiche finished his cigarette and waited outside for a while before calling Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi didn't say anything and followed Chi Ruiche down the elevator. Uncle Wang was already waiting.
Jiang Yang sent a message to Jiang Yi: "My flight is at 9:30 tomorrow morning. Grandpa ate a bowl of noodles this afternoon, so don't worry."
Jiang Yi and Chi Ruiche didn't exchange another word. Chi Ruiche wanted to speak several times, but he had too many concerns and didn't know how to start. He clenched his fist as he watched Jiang Yi's lonely profile.
Jin'ao is the most exclusive club in Xijing, designed specifically for the wealthy and powerful. It includes dining, fitness, spa, and other luxurious facilities.
The club has established comprehensive security measures. Entry requires strict verification by security personnel, and only members and those invited by members are allowed to enter.
Inside the club, security monitoring is installed and security personnel are hired to ensure the privacy of members' information and prevent infringement by criminals.
What comes into view is a spacious and bright hall with smooth marble floors, a huge floral installation in the center, and large ceiling lights illuminating the hall.
On one side is a reception desk adorned with elegant decorations, next to which is a comfort area furnished with exquisite coffee tables and sofas; every detail proclaims the coexistence of nobility and elegance.
"Mr. Chi." A woman in a business suit jogged over, bowing her head and keeping her distance from Chi Ruiche. "Mr. Lü has already booked a private room."
"Ah."
Chi Ruiche took Jiang Yi's left hand without saying a word and followed the woman to the private room. The woman bowed respectfully and withdrew. Everyone who came was either rich or noble, and they needed to remember each guest's needs, speaking little and causing little trouble.
"Second Brother." Jiang Yi quickly pulled his hand away, forcing a smile at Lü Haotian so that he wouldn't notice anything amiss.
"Hmm? In a bad mood?" Lu Haotian asked knowingly, noticing the two's strange behavior. "Eat something first."
Jiang Yi bypassed Chi Ruiche and sat down next to Lü Haotian. Lü Haotian pulled out a chair for her, and Chi Ruiche sat down opposite the two of them.
"Second Brother, I have something to apologize to you for." Jiang Yi got straight to the point, picking up a wine glass on the table, which contained white wine that had been decanted beforehand.
"Hmm?" Lu Haotian stopped what he was doing and watched Jiang Yizheng stand up.
"I've been keeping this from you all, but I'm actually a girl. I'm confessing today." Jiang raised her glass and drank it all in one gulp.
"Xiao Yi, don't drink on an empty stomach," Chi Ruiche said, trying to stop him.
Lu Haotian quickly concealed his surprised expression, replacing it with an innocent smile: "Is one cup enough?"
Jiang Yi picked up another cup and drank it all in one go. "Second Brother, as long as you're not angry, I'll drink as many cups as you like."
Lu Haotian watched Jiang Yi finish his two drinks, still smiling, "You're still a little angry."
Chi Ruiche directly pressed down on Jiang Yi's hand as he picked up the third cup, saying, "This matter ends here."
As Lü Haotian watched Chi Ruiche speak expressionlessly, his smile vanished as well: "You're the boss, you make the decisions."
“This is my own business, I don’t need your help.” Jiang Yi was in a bad mood and said these words to provoke Chi Ruiche.
Chi Ruiche pressed down on her left hand tightly, and Jiang Yi reached out her right hand to take the wine glass, but this time Lü Haotian stopped her.
"Little Four, Yang Ge told me about this. You just had two drinks, so Second Brother will have one with you."
Lu Haotian took the wine glass and drank the wine in it. He continued slowly, "Just like the boss said, this matter ends here. You will always be our Xiao Si."
"My brother told you?" Jiang Yi had no idea about this. "Does Abu know too?"
"So, do you want to know what Abu said?" Lü Haotian smiled faintly and took out his phone.
"Little Si, you're actually a girl! Now look what's happened. I've prepared a lot of terrifying African souvenirs for you, I'll have to buy them all over again."
In the video, Abu, dressed in sportswear, looked at the box of local specialties he had prepared with a troubled expression, then kicked the box open and said in a serious tone, "Remember to call me Third Brother when we meet."
Jiang's eyes reddened, and she bit her lower lip. She had expected them to be furious and angry, but they weren't. But the more they acted this way, the more guilty she felt.
"Don't cry, your second brother can't bear to see a beauty shed tears." Lu Haotian held her hand tightly for a long time. "We rich kids may seem glamorous, but everyone has their own helplessness. Needless to say, we will always be brothers."
"Thank you, Second Brother, Abu."
Jiang Yi took a sniff and smiled from the bottom of her heart, the corners of her mouth stretching out even wider.
"Eat quickly, or the boss will kill someone!" said Lu.
Haotian joked that he wanted to see a change in Chi Ruiche's eyes, that apart from the slight ripple just now, everything had returned to calm.
