MMB Chapter 10: Don't come near me, and don't come near my sister or my mom!
Chapter 10: Don't come near me, and don't come near my sister or my mom!
"Don't you have enough money to treat your classmates to a meal?" Lu Fan asked.
These words startled Jiang Sifan, who was standing to the side.
He nodded awkwardly: "Ah...yes, I just didn't have enough money on WeChat."
"It's okay, I'll lend it to you."
After speaking, Lu Fan took out his phone and opened the QR code.
"No need, no need," Jiang Sifan immediately stopped her. "Thank you, uncle, but it's alright. I'll just ask a friend."
"It's nothing. I was just watching you eat with your classmates and it reminded me of my younger self. I thought of it as a treat for my past self," Lu Fan explained.
Hearing these words, Jiang Sifan felt a little less stressed.
He watched as Jiang Silu remained silent for a long time, wondering if she was in class. He thought to himself that if he waited for her to transfer the money to him, it would probably be a long time coming.
Besides, Huang Hui and her roommates are still waiting there, and they'll get impatient if they have to wait too long.
After weighing the options, Jiang Sifan thanked him again, saying, "Thank you so much, Uncle. I'll add you on WeChat and return the money to you tomorrow."
"It's okay, just pay me back when you have the money. Watching you young people gather and chat reminds me of my own youth," Lu Fan said cheerfully.
"Uncle, you're so handsome. You must have had a lot of girls like you when you were young, right?" Jiang Sifan looked at the middle-aged man in front of her. Although he was much older than her, he looked mature and steady and had a lot of charisma. He must be a rich man.
He even thought that it would be great if he could have such a status in the future.
He immediately took out his phone and added you on WeChat: "I've already added you. My name is Jiang Sifan. I'm a freshman majoring in finance at Jinling Institute of Technology. Don't worry, I will definitely return the money to you."
Jiang Sifan even proactively shared her information with Lu Fan, aiming to convince him that she wasn't someone who was just trying to freeload.
Looking at his son's simple and earnest nature, Lu Fan thought to himself that Jiang Yixia's upbringing was truly excellent.
It's important to know that many children go astray without their fathers' presence.
This is the downside of single-parent families.
But Jiang Sifan didn't.
Not only did they not have any, they were also exceptionally outstanding.
He is dedicated and responsible.
Moreover, his demeanor still retains much of his youthful charm.
Lu Fan looked at his son and grew to like him more and more.
"Alright, you should hurry back to your classmates' place, lest they get impatient waiting." Lu Fan waved his hand and then prepared to leave.
After expressing his gratitude once again, Jiang Sifan returned to Huang Hui's side.
Hu Ke then asked curiously, "Sifan, how much does this meal cost?"
"More than 600," Jiang Sifan explained.
"It's so expensive! If I hadn't run into Huihui and you today, I wouldn't have been able to eat such good Japanese food." As Hu Ke said this, she took the opportunity to pull Huang Hui's hand and said, "Huihui, I'm so envious of you. It's not just that your boyfriend is so handsome, but he's also so generous. Waaah, when will I be able to have a boyfriend like that?"
Hearing what Hu Ke said, Huang Hui felt a surge of pride. She pretended to be modest and said, "Ke Ke, you're so pretty, you'll definitely find a boyfriend as handsome as Si Fan~ And you have to remember to ask him to come back to us!"
"Don't worry, don't worry, it definitely will."
Hu Ke and Chen Kailin had to go to the supermarket to buy some things, so they parted ways at the school gate.
After the two people left, Huang Hui immediately hooked her arm around Jiang Sifan's and said, "Baby, you were so generous today."
Jiang Sifan gave an awkward wry smile: "But that Japanese meal was indeed quite expensive, and I didn't feel full, so it wasn't very cost-effective."
"Who goes to eat Japanese food just for the sake of cost-effectiveness?" Huang Hui explained, "It's like when Kailin and her boyfriend go to eat Japanese food, they're looking for that kind of emotional value. You don't go often, so the emotional value isn't there. Look at me, I'm very happy today. Sometimes emotional value can't be measured in money."
Although Jiang Sifan felt a little distressed about spending over 600 yuan on Japanese food, seeing Huang Hui so happy made him think it was worth it.
If all else fails, I can just be more proactive in delivering food for the next couple of days and earn back my living expenses.
After taking Huang Hui back to her dormitory, Jiang Silu immediately messaged Jiang Sifan: 【What's wrong?】
Jiang Sifan: [You weren't here when I was looking for you just now.]
Jiang Silu: [Since there's nothing else, I'll head out now.]
Jiang Sifan: [Hey, hey, no, lend me 300 yuan.]
Jiang Silu: [Then give me back my 600.]
Seeing his sister taking advantage of the situation to demand a higher price, Jiang Sifan gritted his teeth in anger: "I'm your own brother! You're worse than a bandit!"
Jiang Silu: [Don't think I don't know what you need the money for; it's definitely for that woman.]
Jiang Silu knew Huang Hui, but for some reason, based on a woman's intuition, she always felt that this person was not good.
As for why it was bad, Jiang Silu couldn't explain it.
Jiang Sifan: [That's your future sister-in-law, you should be polite to her.]
Jiang Silu: [She's only a freshman, and you're already calling her your future sister-in-law? Have you ever heard that the college breakup season is during the summer of senior year?]
Jiang Sifan: [Pah! How could someone with such a cute face say such venomous things?]
Jiang Silu: [Hmm, I like hearing that. Okay, I'm willing to lend you the money, just remember to pay me back 600.]
Jiang Silu: [Transfer 300.]
Jiang Sifan could only sigh and finally accepted the money.
Jiang Silu remembered her encounter with Lu Fan earlier that day, so she told Jiang Sifan about it.
Jiang Sifan asked nervously, "Did he come to see you again?"
Jiang Silu: [Yes, but when he found out his mother told me, he turned and left. And judging from his expression, he seemed somewhat disappointed.]
Jiang Sifan: [Don't pay attention to that kind of person. Maybe they're just acting on purpose. They can only fool young girls like you. If it were me, I'd see through it immediately.]
Jiang Silu: [Yes, yes, you're Sherlock Holmes. Okay, that's all, I'll stop chatting now. I need to go to the library to pack my books; it costs 10 yuan an hour.]
Jiang Sifan: [Don't overwork yourself; you still need to rest when you should.]
Jiang Silu: [If I don't work hard, how will I earn money for my older brother to spend? He needs to spend money on his future sister-in-law.]
Jiang Sifan was utterly helpless in the face of Jiang Silu's little mouth.
Jiang Sifan: [Sometimes, the kindness of a stranger is better than that of your own younger sister.]
Jiang Silu: [A strange middle-aged man?! What is that?]
So Jiang Sifan told Jiang Silu about the embarrassing things that happened to her that day.
The two siblings had no secrets from childhood to adulthood. Even in junior high school, Jiang Silu was bullied by girls from the next class because she was pretty and several boys liked her.
This aroused the jealousy of the girls in the next class.
The girls originally thought that Jiang Silu was weak-willed because she didn't have a father and came from a single-parent family, so they thought she wouldn't say a word even if they bullied her.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Silu directly told Jiang Sifan about it.
Enraged, Jiang Sifan dismantled the broom, grabbed the stick, and went to the classroom, where he berated the girls.
From then on, no one dared to bully Jiang Silu anymore.
After learning the whole story, Jiang Silu first complained: "Good grief, you've never treated your own sister to a 600 yuan Japanese meal. Am I even your real sister?"
Jiang Sifan: [Okay, okay, I'll treat you to a meal when I have the money. I need to pay that uncle back now.]
Jiang Silu seemed to realize something was wrong, and she asked, "Wait a minute, what did that uncle look like?"
Jiang Sifan: [He's quite handsome, wearing a suit. He's tall and looks young, but he's probably in his thirties or forties, about the same age as our mom.]
Jiang Silu: [Oh my god, could it be that Uncle Lu?! The one Mom told us to stay away from!]
Jiang Sifan suddenly realized that there was no banquet for her younger self; everything was traceable!
He had just been bragging to Jiang Silu that if that guy surnamed Lu were standing in front of him, Bao would definitely be able to tell.
So Jiang Sifan immediately transferred the money for the meal to Lu Fan.
The next second, Lu Fan replied: "No need, consider it my treat."
Jiang Sifan: [Hey Lu, although I don't know what your purpose is, I'm warning you, don't get close to me, and don't get close to my sister or my mother!]
Lu Fan looked at it and wanted to explain.
The next second, a red exclamation mark appeared.
Good grief, she deleted her own father's WeChat account.
He immediately sighed, "It seems these two siblings really do listen to their mother."
