Chapter 29

Ruan Zhiyin's foot injury was not serious, and she put on comfortable shoes when she went to work in the next few days, which did not affect her work after the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Seeing that she had to go to work, Cheng Yuelin frowned and said a few words, but it did not resolve her stubbornness, and she had to promise that she would not go to the construction site for a few days.
With the official start of the Beicheng project, Ruan Zhiyin had to coordinate more things. She were very busy during the next few days, and she often went home with her work to work overtime.
So, there is no time to cook.
For several days, Cheng Yuelin did not enjoy the take-away breakfast service again.
Early Thursday morning, Ruan Zhiyin packed up and went downstairs.
She saw that Cheng Yuelin had changed his clothes and was sitting on the sofa, frowning at the two sandwiches on the coffee table.
In an instant, she had a different understanding of him.
Although she knew that Cheng Yuelin was accustomed to eating breakfast during this time, she did not expect that Cheng Yuelin would actually cook by herself after she did not enter the kitchen for four consecutive days.
Ruan Zhiyin raised her eyebrows and slowly stepped forward, "You made these two sandwiches?"
Seeing her go downstairs, Cheng Yuelin pursed her thin lips slightly, and replied lightly, "Yes."
Ruan Zhiyin was quite surprised, glanced at the sandwich on the coffee table, nodded and affirmed his hard work.
Sandwiches are not difficult to make and there are many recipes available online. The two copies made by Cheng Yuelin are still pretty good.
She pointed to one of the sandwiches and smiled at him, "So this one is for me?"
Cheng Yuelin leaned loosely on the sofa without answering directly.
After a while, his eyes became slightly complicated. He glanced at her lightly, shook his head and said, "No."
Xu Shi felt that the man's answer made her feel awkward. Ruan Zhiyin's mouth twitched slightly, and she didn't speak any more.
Cheng Yuelin looked at her expression carefully, lowered his eyes, coughed lightly, and then said, "If you want to eat, I will cook it for you tomorrow."
As for today's, let's take it to Qian Fan.
The man's expression couldn't be noticed, and when she met his unwavering eyes, the 'thank you' that Ruan Zhiyin was about to say choked in her mouth.
However, Cheng Yuelin didn't seem to care whether she thanked him or not.
After he finished speaking, he got up and straightened his clothes, put two sandwiches in the thermal bag, and then looked at her, "Let's go."
/ / /
At lunch time, Qian Fan came to the top floor as usual to eat with Cheng Yuelin.
He felt that people can be lonely emotionally, but not lonely when eating. Qian Fan couldn't eat a meal alone.
Even if Cheng Yuelin was just holding a sandwich, it would be better than eating downstairs alone.
Besides, his sister-in-law hadn't brought any meals to Brother Lin these days, which makes Qian Fan's lunch time more enjoyable.
After habitually sitting down opposite Cheng Yuelin, Qian Fan took out his mobile phone and prepared to order a takeout for two people——
However, the articulated palm suddenly appeared, covering the dazzling menu on the screen.
"What's the matter, Brother Lin?"
Qian Fan looked at the man opposite in confusion.
Cheng Yuelin's eyelids drooped slightly, and his knuckles slowly moved towards the bento box on the desk, "Well, this is for you."
Then, he took Qian Fan's mobile phone and ordered a one-person takeout from the takeaway shop on the page.
Qian Fan was a little surprised, "Hey brother Lin, sister Ruan has started cooking for you again?"
Putting down the phone, Cheng Yuelin glanced at him lightly, raised his eyebrows slightly, and hummed softly.
Qian Fan didn't care about the other party's indifference. He knew that Ruan Zhiyin was so busy with work recently that she had no choice but to stop cooking for Cheng Yuelin.
Unexpectedly, his sister-in-law had just finished her work and started making sandwiches for Brother Lin again!
What a deep love this is!
only--
"Brother Lin, you mean... this is for me?"
Qian Fan was flattered and looked up at Cheng Yuelin.
"Um.” The man affirmed it, paused for a while, and then asked with a chuckle, "What? Don't you want to eat it now?""
Qian Fan nodded hurriedly, "Of course yes. After so long, I haven't tasted my sister's cooking!"
In the past, he wanted to taste the sandwich made by Ruan Zhiyin, but Brother Lin's eyes seemed to be able to poke a hole in him.
Today, Brother Lin is very generous, and he is willing to share it with him! And...give him two!
Qian Fan couldn't help crying for this deep brotherhood.
He held up the sandwich reverently, took a moving bite, and savoured it in his mouth.
After a few seconds-
"Brother Lin... how come there are still egg shells."
"Bah, how much sea salt has been sprinkled here?"
"No, it's too salty, almost killing me."
Ten minutes later, Qian Fan barely finished a sandwich under the pressure of Cheng Yuelin's eyes. After a pause, he had to stretch his hand to another.
Cheng Yuelin held his chin idly, watching Qian Fan finish his failed work, and said in a clear voice, "Do you still want to eat in the future?"
Qian Fan quickly shook his head.
He swore that he would never secretly miss Ruan Zhiyin's sandwiches in his mind again.
How much love does Brother Lin have to eat his sister-in-law's sandwich unfazed!
/ / /
Ruan Zhiyin didn't know that the two failed sandwiches ended up in Qian Fan's stomach.
After the last conversation, their vaguely polite relationship in the past seemed to have suddenly improved a lot.
Ruan Zhiyin knew that Cheng Yuelin had a lot of dealings with people from the Planning Bureau. These days, she would always go to the study room to ask him about the things she didn't understand in the approval documents, and he didn't hesitate to give her any advice.
After returning home in the evening, Ruan Zhiyin listened to Cheng Yuelin's explanation of the specific process of planning and evaluation in the study, nodded as if enlightened, and replied subconsciously, "Thank you."
Behind the desk, Cheng Yuelin raised his eyebrows leisurely, with a smile in his dark eyes, "Ruan Yingying, you like to thank me a lot lately?"
Ruan Zhiyin looked slightly startled, and then frowned.
It seems to be true. She has thanked Cheng Yuelin quite a few times recently.
As for the reasons for thanking, it is not only from work, but also from life.
A few days ago, the water pipe in the second bedroom bathroom was leaking.
Ruan Zhiyin originally wanted to invite a maintenance staff to come over, but when she talked to Cheng Yuelin, the man chuckled and shook his head, and asked her to lead him to the second bedroom.
After a few quick glances, Cheng Yuelin turned around and went to the utility room to get a spare water pipe.
Then, under Ruan Zhiyin's watchful eye, he replaced the spare water pipe in just a few minutes, which solved the problem of water leakage.
Naturally, Ruan Zhiyin didn't know that Cheng Yuelin would still repair water pipes, and she was quite surprised at that time.
When Cheng Yuelin saw her demeanor. He raised his eyebrows loosely, and said, "Did you see it? That's the advantage of having a man in the family."
Ruan Zhiyin felt helpless when she met the man's playful eyes.
However, she still ignored his poignant attitude and thanked him with a smile.
Counting down, she has thanked Cheng Yuelin more than ten times these days. Ruan Zhiyin did not expect this frequency.
Cheng Yuelin saw she was stunned while holding the approval document. He slowly stretched out his hand, and patted her head with a smile.
"Ruan Yingying, there is no need to thank me any more for accepting my help. You used to help me make up lessons. You also didn’t charge the make-up fee, did you?"
Ruan Zhiyin just regained her senses when she heard him mentioning the matter of helping him make up lessons in the third year of high school.
Looking at the approval document in her hand, she couldn't help shaking her head, "I didn't expect you to be able to read such a boring document now."
Ruan Zhiyin did make up for him for free, but that was also a condition for Cheng Yuelin's bet.
In the third year of high school, nearly two years had passed since Ruan Zhiyin was taken back to Ruan's house by her grandfather.
She knew that her spoken English was not good, so she never thought about applying directly to the school to go abroad. She decided to stay in the country for the college entrance examination.
Ruan Zhiyin's review progress was very fast. In the second month of her senior year of high school, she had already revised all the high school courses, and began to study the examination paper from previous years.
After consolidating the foundation, she began to delve into the difficult problems.
Qin Jue's math is better than hers. Ruan Zhiyin occasionally encounters a math problem that she can't solve, so she will go to the key science class next door to ask Qin Jue for advice.
One evening, Ruan Zhiyin pondered a math problem for half an hour, but couldn't find a solution.
During the class break, she got up to go to the next class to ask Qin Jue for the answer, but Cheng Yuelin next to her reached out and blocked her way, and he refused to let her go.
No matter how good-tempered Ruan Zhiyin was, she couldn't help being annoyed by his rogue appearance.
The other party looked at her expression, glanced lightly at the question on the paper, snorted softly, and said in a strange tone, "This question is so difficult that you have to find Qin Jue to solve it?"
Ruan Zhiyin was still angry, but her tone was cold, "It's really difficult. At least you can't figure it out."
Cheng Yuelin heard the words, raised his eyebrows lightly. In those pretty eyes with slightly upturned tails, there was a cynical smile, "Ruan Yingying, don't speak too soon. If I figure it out, will you promise me one thing?"
Ruan Zhiyin raised her eyebrows and said solemnly, "If? How do I know if you find someone else to solve the problem?"
"Okay, then you can find another question and give it to me in a month. If I figure out the questions you asked, will you agree to my conditions?" Cheng Yuelin's voice was idle, and it was rare to discuss with her.
Ruan Zhiyin paused and didn't answer.
Cheng Yuelin chuckled lightly and sneered, "Ruan Yingying, you don't dare to bet with me?"
Perhaps she was provoked by the young man's words, or perhaps her temperament at that time had not dissipated.
After a long silence, Ruan Zhiyin looked at him again, "Then what if you lose the bet?"
Cheng Yuelin's sturdy forearm rested on the desk, looked at her with his cheeks raised, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.
After a while, the young boy's lazy voice drifted into Ruan Zhiyin's ears, "Well, then I'll go to the playground and run ten laps to calm down Miss Ruan."
Later, Ruan Zhiyin didn't know how Cheng Yuelin came up with the question that was used to embarrass him.
But she had to agree to the other party's conditions and give him make-up lessons during recess and weekend self-study.
Speaking of which, he worked really hard during that time.
Cheng Yuelin's grades have improved rapidly, but politics is always his weakness. At that time, he said he hated the dull content of political textbooks the most.
But now, he knows the boring clauses in the approval documents like the back of his hand.
Pulling back from thoughts, Ruan Zhiyin's mouth curled slightly, and couldn't help but praise him, "Cheng Yuelin, now you seem to have a lot of good changes."
Cheng Yuelin's eyes were deep, and he nodded noncommittally.His tone was neither salty nor light, "Oh, is it?"
"Don't worry. You will...be also."
Although she still wasn’t able to act like a spoiled child, one day she will learn it.
Ruan Zhiyin didn't understand the meaning of his words, thinking that he was inexplicably showing off this arrogance because of her own praise, and shook her head ironically.
/ / /
On Sunday, Ruan Zhiyin finally finished her continuous work and got a moment of free time.
Because she hadn't gone out with her friends for a long time, she was invited by Ye Yanchu and Gu Linlang to go to the tea restaurant they used to go.
In the quiet box, the dining table is covered with a chic and plain tablecloth, which is full of delicate refreshments.
It's just that the subject of their chatting at this moment is not the heart-to-heart talk between sisters, but the gossip that happened yesterday.
Ye Yanchu didn't dare to drive and arrived at the latest.
But as soon as she opened the door and came in, she jumped down beside Gu Linlang and said excitedly, "Linlang, tell me now. Why did that Miss Jiang run away with other men in front of all the guests yesterday?"
Yesterday, Gu Linlang went to the Hilton Hotel to attend the engagement banquet of Jiang Anzheng and Miss Jiang.
Although only one day has passed, the events of the engagement banquet have quickly spread throughout the rich circle of Landbridge.
After all, the drama staged is too bloody exciting.
Gu Linlang couldn't hold back the eagerness in her heart for a long time, put down the coffee in her hand, and shared the news she had inquired with her friends with passion.
"Qin Xiang and that Miss Jiang are college classmates, and I also heard a few words from her."
"The lady of the Jiang family is the daughter of the uncle of the Jiang family and his ex-wife. The rich and powerful family has a complicated relation, so the relationship between Miss Jiang and her father and stepmother is just not bad."
"This time it was the Jiang family who wanted to marry the Jiang family. After that Mrs. Jiang had inquired about Jiang Anzheng, she knew that he was always helping Lin Jingfei with all the troubles, and she didn't want to let her daughter marry, so she decided to let Miss Jiang marry him."
Speaking of this, Gu Linlang paused in a disgusting manner.
It wasn't until Ruan Zhiyin gave her a 'wondering' look that she continued with a satisfied smile.
"As for Miss Jiang, she already has someone she likes, so of course she disagreed at first. Moreover, Miss Jiang liked that person in college, but it was too difficult to chase after him, so she didn't succeed at the time. She waved her hand and gave up and went abroad to study."
"It is said that what you can't get is often unforgettable. Miss Jiang returned to China this year. After reuniting with her first love, she fell in love with him again. But based on her experience, she felt that the other party was too difficult to chase after, so she simply prescribed a powerful medicine."
"While seducing her first love into an ambiguous relationship, she dressed up softly and went to have a blind date with Jiang Anzheng, and then the news of the engagement came out quickly."
"This Miss Jiang...is really amazing." Ye Yanchu couldn't help but applaud the other party's way of chasing people.
Gu Linlang gave her a high-five with a look of "great minds think alike", and then spoke again.
"Yesterday's engagement banquet, regardless of whether Miss Jiang's first love came to take the bride away, she would definitely not marry Jiang Anzheng that idiot."
"It's just that this drama of directly take away the brideis more exciting than the fiancee's repentance on the spot. Didn't you see that Jiang Anzheng's face turned black."
Gu Linlang really didn't like Jiang Anzheng. Thinking of the other party's grievance yesterday, Gu Linlang felt that her engagement banquet was worth it.
She smiled, "Jiang Anzheng thinks that Miss Jiang is quiet and weak and will be a good wife and mother, and wants to marry Miss Jiang home as a decoration. In the end, he was the tool person who was used by Miss Jiang to stimulate her first love, and he was deceived so much and he was even robbed of his fiancée on the spot at the engagement banquet."
"Thanks to Yinyin for reminding me to go to the play. Those guests watched a good show for free.This time Jiang Anzheng can be regarded as disgraced, and it is estimated that he will inevitably be pointed at everywhere in the future."
Speaking of which, Gu Linlang also vividly imitated the scene of ‘being pointed at’——
"Look, that's the idiot who was scolded by his fiancee at the engagement banquet. Then the fiancee ran away with others after scolding his fiancee."
"He deserved that! It's really retribution for sin! After Ye Yanchu heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh, Jiang acted like Lin Jingfei's caring friend all day long. Who would really want to marry him?"
Gu Linlang was tired of talking, took a sip of the coffee in front of her, and then said, "Actually, it wasn't just Jiang Anzheng who was embarrassed. Lin Jingfei was embarrassed on the spot."
"The Jiang family accused Miss Jiang of repenting of the marriage, and the Jiang family pulled Lin Jingfei out as a shield, saying that the relationship between Lin Jingfei and Jiang Anzheng was ambiguous and unclear. This time, Qin Jue seemed to have made up his mind to distance himself from Lin Jingfei, but now Lin Jingfei has directly become Jiang Anzheng's mistress."
"She also brought it on herself. How old is she？ And she is still trying to get along under the guise of siblings. There is really something wrong with her." Ye Yanchu said angrily, as if she suddenly remembered something, "By the way, who is Miss Jiang's first love? Will Jiang Anzheng trouble him?"
Gu Linlang's eyes were teasing, and she suddenly looked at Ruan Zhiyin, "Yinyin, you know Miss Jiang's first love."
Ruan Zhiyin was slightly startled, and after thinking for a while, she frowned slightly, "Could it be..."
"It's that kid Zhou Hongfei."
Finally speaking out the biggest secret, Gu Linlang patted the table, and after taking a deep breath, her eyebrows narrowed slightly.
"I really want to scold him too. He thinks that Miss Jiang is beautiful and rich. He likes her but feels very inferior. If it wasn't for Miss Jiang's temperament, he would not have been moved."
"Yesterday Zhou Hongfei said hello to me when he left. And after the show, Jiang Anzheng came to Fang Weirui to inquire about Zhou Hongfei's origin."
"Oh, that's half of my and Yinyin's younger brother. If Fang Weirui dares to help Jiang Anzheng, I'll divorce him!"
In terms of age, Zhou Hongfei is still half a year younger than Ruan Zhiyin, so he can indeed be regarded as half 'brothers'.
Hearing Gu Linlang's angry words, Ruan Zhiyin shook her head and smiled, "Linlang, although you always talk about divorce, but in all fairness, your temperament is not favored by Fang Weirui?"
After Fang Weirui got married, he stayed at home all day and didn't even go to parties. Even the Fang family did not dare to embarrass Gu Linlang.
Although the other party was Qin Jue's friend, he treated Gu Linlang very well.
Ye Yanchu nodded when she heard the words, "Yes, Linlang. Yinyin, a fake married person, hasn't even mentioned divorce yet. You started thinking about getting pregnant before. Now you are yelling getting divorced every day."
"I'm just saying that.” Gu Linlang lowered her tone and changed the subject, "Yinyin, it seems that you and Cheng Yuelin get along very well."
Ruan Zhiyin thought about her and Cheng Yuelin's time together, paused for a while, and said with a smile, "At least, we are all willing to give each other face now."
Cheng Yuelin always gave her face in front of outsiders, and when she returned home, Ruan Zhiyin didn't want to care about his occasional jokes and provocative words.
Everyone has a relaxed attitude.
Gu Linlang nodded with a smile, "It's good to show each other face. People like Cheng Yuelin who have fallen from the bottom and climbed up are often more difficult to get along than ordinary people."
After Ruan Zhiyin listened, she nodded thoughtfully.
