Tang Wan had just finished cleaning the paint on her hands when the phone in her pocket vibrated. She hurriedly wiped them dry and took out her phone. When she saw the name, she quickly picked it up.

“Hello, Auntie –“

“Wan Wan!” With a smile and a doting voice, she said, “I didn’t disturb you, did I?”

“I’m fine.”

The person who called was Jiang Jinshang’s mother.

“I just want to ask, how is Jinshang doing today? He didn’t give you any trouble, did he?”

“No, Fifth Master is just alright.”

“Look at you, you’re still so polite. He’s only three years older than you.”

“That…” Tang Wan was worried that she couldn’t find a good way to please Jiang Jinshang. “Auntie, what does Fifth Master usually like? What does he like to eat? What does he like to do?”

“Why are you asking this?”

“He’s not in good health, and he didn’t say anything. My grandfather said that since he’s a guest, we should let him live a more comfortable life,” Tang Wan said calmly, using her grandfather as a shield.

“Oh, I see. Well, he…”

Mrs. Jiang told her many of Jiang Jinshang’s favorites, such as his love of carrots and coriander.

After hanging up the phone, she caught sight of her eldest son who was staring at her. “Why are you looking at me? Do you have a problem with that?”

The big brother stretched out his hand to straighten his tie and was about to leave. “You said so much just now. I’m afraid Ms. Tang won’t be able to remember it. You should write it down and send it to her so that she won’t forget it.”

Tang Wan hung up the phone and frowned slightly. She still remembered clearly that when Jiang Jinshang was eating the potstickers, he didn’t consume even a single bit of the coriander in the soup. Why did Mrs. Jiang say that he especially liked to eat it?

When she finished tidying up and went out, Jiang Jinshang was standing in the courtyard, obviously waiting for her.

“Fifth Master, aren’t you reading in the study anymore?”

“Let’s go together. What happened last night had something to do with me. I should go.”

When the two of them arrived at the front hall, the old man was standing under the veranda and feeding the thrush. Zhang Liyun and her daughter were sitting on the couch. The two of them had not slept the whole night and looked very haggard.

Especially Tang Mo. She exuded decadence. Her eyes were red and swollen. When she saw the two of them coming over, she was shocked.

After greeting them, Tang Wan sat down on the two-seater couch. Jiang Jinshang squeezed in next to her.

Zhang Liyun nudged Tang Mo. “What are you sitting there for? Speak!”

This useless thing. No matter how much she helped her, she was of no hope.

Tang Mo spent the night at the police station. The police were law enforcers and not hospitality providers. They wouldn’t treat her especially well, of course. She was so scared that she didn’t even recover from her shock.

“Sis –” her voice was hoarse.

“How is it? Are you alright? Yesterday, the police wanted to take you away. I had no choice. You won’t blame me, Right?”

“No.” Tang Mo didn’t dare to say anything despite the resentment in her heart.

At that time, Tang Wan didn’t look at her at all.

“That’s good.”

“Sis, I’m sorry.” Tang Mo suddenly stood up. Her body was stiff and her words seemed to be coming out of her mouth in difficulty. It was obvious that this apology wasn’t her original intention.

“What do you have to apologize to me for?” Tang Wan pretended not to know.

“I…” Tang Mo glanced at Zhang Liyun from the corner of her eyes.

They had just left the police station when Zhang Liyun brought her straight to the old residence and asked her to apologize to Tang Wan. She knew that although the group of people had heckled last night, she also wanted to see Tang Wan make a fool of herself. She had indeed let her down.

She had been locked up for the whole night, so they were even. What right did she have to ask her to apologize.

“Speak!” Zhang Liyun was furious. It turned out that the words she had said to her on the way had all but fallen on deaf ears.

“I didn’t know that the group of people would do that to you last night…” Tang Mo was also holding back her anger. Her words became more and more incoherent. “If I had known that would happen, I wouldn’t have called you to pick me up. I’m sorry.”

“You didn’t know?” Tang Wan sneered with a contemptuous smile. “If you don’t want to apologize, you don’t have to force yourself to come here.”

Tang Mo wasn’t willing to apologize in the first place, so when she saw her proud and disdainful face, her heart was boiling with anger. Her brain was filled with blood, so she said directly.

“Didn’t you also call the police and arrest us?”

What she meant was that they didn’t owe each other anything, so they should just call it quits.

Old Master Tang had been feeding the thrush the entire time. He didn’t even raise his eyebrows. Zhang Liyun, on the other hand, was getting anxious. She shouted, “Tang Mo!”

“The police said that someone called the police and said that they were holding me captive. Now they all think that I’m the one who called the police.” Once they entered the police station, the police would definitely interrogate them one by one.

They asked if those people were threatening her and asking her to call Tang Wan. She didn’t call the police at all, so it could only be Tang Wan. In any case, it was related to her anyway. She couldn’t avoid it.

“Tang Mo, shut up!” Zhang Liyun was angry.

“Now I’m being unreasonable, I…” Tang Mo was also anxious. Why did she get the blame all of a sudden?

At this moment, Jiang Jinshang interrupted her, “You seem to have some misunderstanding about the whole thing.”

Tang Mo was extremely afraid of Jiang Jinshang. As soon as he opened his mouth, her body suddenly trembled and she shut her mouth.

“I was the one who called the police.”

After saying this, even Old Master Tang couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows.

“When she received your call last night, Ms. Tang was already prepared to go out to pick you up. However, you said that you were detained and couldn’t leave. I really don’t understand. Since you had a way to call your sister for help, why didn’t you call the police?”

“You said that you were the one who was detained and that you were the one who needed help. Now that we’re helping you, it’s our fault?”

“Were you really coerced?”

Jiang Jinshang was ruthless. He immediately pointed out the crux of the problem.

“Your own life is being held by someone. You clearly know that it’s a pit of fire, yet you still want to pull your sister into it?” He sneered. “Is it too much to ask you to apologize?”

Tang Mo’s face was flushed red. She stood there, her hands twisting and tugging at the corner of her clothes.

“I’ve been feeling bad for accidentally hurting you before. When I knew you were in danger, I helped to call the police. If some things can’t be solved by the police, I don’t understand, what can a girl like her do?

“Do I need to be more straightforward?

“But even so, she still went to pick you up personally. Not only do you owe her an apology, you should also say thank you.”

After Jiang Jinshang finished speaking, the entire living room was terrifyingly quiet. Only the thrush was chirping.

Tang Mo didn’t want to apologize in the first place, but now, Jiang Jinshang had torn apart her dirty thoughts for everyone to see. He embarrassed her in front of everyone, yet he still wanted her to thank Tang Wan?

What kind of logic was this!

Jiang Tso and Jiang Jiu stood outside. “Mrs. Tang isn’t stupid. She knows to let this idiot come and apologize. It’s a pity that she raised a useless daughter. She’s not up to the task!

“Our master’s mouth can poison people to death.

“He’s very protective.”

***

Seeing that there was no movement from the people beside him, Jiang Tso raised his hand to push him away. Jiang Jiu moved half an inch to the side with a face full of disdain.

Zhang Liyun also thought that Tang Wan would be the one to call the police. When the police were alerted, it was already very late. Why were the two of them still together?

However, she was not in the mood to think too much at the moment. She pushed Tang Mo’s lower back. “What are you still standing there for? Didn’t you hear what Fifth Master said?”

Tang Mo really felt aggrieved. Everyone had a bit of a temper, and she was just trying her best not to lower her head.

Just as the atmosphere was in a stalemate, there was a loud clang. Old Master Tang threw the porcelain plate filled with bird food to the side, and the bird food spilled all over the ground.

The thrush was frightened and chirped violently. 

Jiang Jinshang slightly raised his eyebrows. It was finally about to start..
