After Tang Wan ended the call, she put her phone to the side and didn’t intend to leave. The relationship between the two of them wasn’t that good to begin with. It was clearly strange for her to be asked to pick someone up all of a sudden.

“What happened?” Jiang Jinshang asked.

“Nothing much. Let’s continue.”

However, not long after, Tang Mo called again. Tang Wan narrowed her eyes and confirmed her suspicions. There was definitely no good reason for her to look for her.

The voice on the other end was still noisy. “Sis, are you here?”

“I’m very busy right now. I’ll call a car for you.”

“I want you to cover for me, and they won’t let me go. Just come, please.”

“You’re not a bandit. Why didn’t they let you go?”

“I even drank some wine. I’m really scared. I’m afraid that tonight I’ll…” Tang Mo’s voice trembled. “You have to come.”

After hanging up, Jiang Jinshang subconsciously rubbed his fingers. “Tang Mo called?”

When he heard Tang Wan mention the hospital, he had already guessed it.

“You heard it?” Tang Wan smiled helplessly.

“Yes.” Because the environment over at Tang Mo’s side was too noisy, she deliberately raised her voice. Only then did Jiang Jinshang confirm who it was, “Today, Mrs. Tang came over and even mentioned her. She said that she would be staying in the hospital for a few more days. When she was sick, she went out to play? At the KTV?”

“At the bar.” Jiang Jinshang had heard everything. There was no need for her to hide anything for Tang Mo. 

“She asked you to pick her up?”

Because Tang Wan had lost something earlier, it was clear that their relationship was not good. She was asked to pick her up at a bar. It was obvious that she had other intentions.

He rubbed his fingers. From the looks of it…

He had given her too light of a beating last time.

The two members of the Jiang family who were quietly playing the background saw the corners of their fifth master’s mouth suddenly curled up. They felt goosebumps all over their backs. He was trying to stir up trouble.

However, when he turned around and faced Tang Wan, he was still as calm as ever. “I heard she say that someone didn’t want her to come out?”

“Yes.” Tang Wan stroked her phone.

“You want to go over?”

“It’s still a life…” Tang Wan didn’t intend to go personally. She already had a plan in mind. If Tang Mo wanted to scheme against her on purpose, she had ways to make her uncomfortable.

Jiang Jinshang only smiled. “Other than Tang Mo, there’s someone else who needs to be warned. Otherwise, you’ll be in a lot of trouble in the future. If you don’t mind, I’ll take care of this matter.”

“You’ll take care of it?”

“I’m living at your house now. Previously, I accidentally injured her. Now that someone is making things difficult for her, it’s only right for me to help.” Jiang Jinshang could probably find a thousand legitimate reasons for what he wanted to do. “And…”

“It’s so late. If you really go out alone, I won’t be at ease.”

Tang Wan’s heart pounded violently.

“Are you sleepy now?”

“I’m fine.”

“Are you going out to watch the show?”

There were many rumors about Jiang Jinshang. Apart from his short life, they all said that he was extremely intelligent. Tang Wan also wanted to know what he would do.

She nodded in agreement and went back to her room to put on a jacket. Then, the two of them set off for the Mayfly Bar.

***

At this moment, in the private room of the bar, someone was already urging Tang Mo..

“Tang Mo, didn’t you say that you have a good relationship with your sister? Why isn’t she here yet?”

“That’s right. I just asked you to ask her to come over for a drink. You can’t be so disrespectful, right?”

“I heard that you guys don’t have a good relationship. Today is Young Master He’s birthday. Is it alright to lie to him like this?”

***

These people were all well-known hedonistic sons of rich families in Pingjiang City. They had a little money at home, so they spoke and acted arrogantly.

Tang Mo was only a stepdaughter who was not related to the Tang family by blood. She had always tried her best to blend in with them, but they looked down on her.

They did not invite her to today’s birthday party. She had come to join in the fun. Someone had asked her how her relationship with Tang Wan was. Even if they did not talk to each other at all, Tang Mo had to turn the truth to her favor.

That was when the next thing that happened was for her to invite Tang Wan over for a drink or two.

She wanted to blend in with the group and gain recognition. In addition, she had bragged about her good relationship with Tang Wan just now, so she was forced to call Tang Wan to keep up her facade.

She also knew what this group of people wanted to do. Tang Wan was always so proud in front of her. She also wanted to see how she would look if she was pulled down from her pedestal?

After making two phone calls, Tang Wan’s attitude was clear. She was afraid that she would not come. However, Tang Mo was on a pedestal and could not back down. If she could not invite anyone, she would become the laughing stock of these people and would never be able to fit in.

Just as she was sitting on pins and needles, her phone vibrated. Tang Wan’s message:

[ I’ll be there in ten minutes. ]

She was overjoyed. “My sister texted. She’ll be here in ten minutes.”

The group of people in the room looked at each other. Some were surprised, while others were overjoyed.

“Young Master He, your goddess is coming tonight. Today’s birthday will definitely be unforgettable,” someone joked.

The man sitting in the middle drank without saying a word.

The atmosphere in the private room instantly became high again. However, this birthday was not only unforgettable for him, but also for everyone in the private room.

***

At this moment, Tang Wan and Jiang Jinshang were already on their way to the bar.

“Fifth Master, what exactly are you trying to do?” Jiang Jinshang had previously asked his men to “gang up” Tang mo. It was clearly intentional. How could he be kind enough to help?

He was a very eccentric person. He was afraid that helping would not be that simple.

“You’ll understand when you get there.”

The bar was filled with all sorts of people. Tang Mo did not mind. However, if she insisted on Tang Wan going out so late at night, it was likely that there were many members of the opposite sex there. There was an 80% chance that someone wanted to get their hands on her..

Ha —

She was quite bold.

Just as Tang Wan was about to ask something else, her phone vibrated at an inappropriate time. It was a call from her best friend.

She asked Tang Wan to call her. It was almost 10 o’clock when she finally called.

However, Jiang Jinshang was present at the moment. The two of them were sitting quite close to each other, so it was inconvenient for them to answer the call, so they could only hang up.

When the other party saw that the call was hung up, she frowned slightly.

He knew that Tang Wan was probably with Jiang Jinshang at the moment. They were alone. Even if this Fifth Master Jiang wasn’t in good health, he was still a man. She was worried that Tang Wan would be at a disadvantage, so she couldn’t help but feel anxious. The calls came one after another.

“Why aren’t you picking up the call?” Jiang Jinshang raised his eyebrows.

“Ah? I was just about to pick it up.” Tang Wan was secretly resentful. She could only brace herself to pick up the call. She tried her best to lean to the side of the car and stay away from Jiang Jinshang.

“Hello –” she lowered her voice.

“Tang Xiaowan, what are you doing? Hanging up on me? Are you okay?!” The other party was anxious and spoke a little louder.

“I’m fine.” She lowered her voice.

“What’s wrong? Can’t talk? Didn’t you ask me to call you and save you? What are the two of you doing? Why are you so shameful? Did Jiang Jinshang do anything to you? He’s a sickly man. If you can’t do it, call someone. I don’t believe that there’s anyone in your house who has the guts to bully you…”

“No, I’ll call you back later. I’m hanging up!” She hurriedly terminated the call.

“Tang Xiaowan –“

After her phone was hung up, Tang Wan looked at the person beside her with a slightly guilty expression.

Jiang Jinshang happened to be looking at her as well. The car sped along, and the streetlights flashed past the car window. In his eyes, it was like a passing lantern, flickering between light and darkness.

“A friend of mine is looking for me.”

Jiang Jinshang rubbed his fingers and nodded. “Mm, a girl, right? Your best friend? She really cares about you.”

Tang Wan’s head exploded.

He heard..

He heard it?

Her best friend was too anxious and her voice was so loud that the two people in the front row heard it. They coughed in unison. 

It was extremely awkward..
