Take her as my wife

The news of Du Yucheng's arrest for drug use quickly spread within the circle. While the Li family played a part in this, it was also largely due to Du Yucheng's arrogant behavior in the past, which had made him too many enemies. So, naturally, those people wanted to take advantage of him at this time. He was accused of all sorts of crimes, including assault, kidnapping, and rape, making him a truly wicked person.

This incident caused such a huge uproar that it made the news and was widely circulated, causing the Du family's stock to plummet overnight.

At that time, their rivals certainly wouldn't let go of this great opportunity. In just half a month, Du Yunhui was pressured by the board of directors to step down. He was too busy taking care of himself to have any energy to deal with his precious son in prison.

Jiang Ni had already prepared all the necessary materials, had the elders of the Wang and Tong families sign the documents, and submitted the lawsuit to the court.

"We don't need any compensation, we just want the death penalty."

"Attorney Jiang, please help me."

Jiang Ni nodded solemnly: "I will do my best. You all need to take good care of yourselves and witness him being punished by law."

According to the procedure, the trial will not begin until at least the end of August.

However, with Jiang Ni's assurance, the two elderly people were no longer in a hurry, and their mental state improved a lot. Jiang Ni would also visit them from time to time.

Chen Siyao said to Tan Wen, "Sister Xiao Jiang is like a savior from suffering; she's both beautiful and kind."

Tan hummed in agreement, then tapped her head with a ruler: "Don't get distracted. Your goddess asked me to supervise your exam today—you still have three papers to go."

Chen Siyao: "..."

It's the weekend today. Jiang Ni visited two sets of elderly people in the morning and returned at noon. She asked Tan and the others, "Do you want to go to the movies? I saw a new movie is showing, and a lot of people are going to see it."

Tan Wen was of course willing, and Chen Siyao also wanted to relax. Jiang Ni went to ask Aunt Zhou, who said that she had made an appointment with someone to go grocery shopping, so she wouldn't be going with them.

So Jiang Ni took the two children out and went to a movie theater in the surrounding business district.

"Would you like some popcorn?" she asked Tan.

Tan asked, "Buy her one separately, we can just share one bucket."

He doesn't like sweets, and Jiang Ni only eats a little. Jiang Ni thinks this plan is feasible.

After buying the items, we waited a short while before they checked our tickets and we entered.

Chen Siyao, with great foresight, sat to the side, letting Jiang Ni sit in the middle, and Tan Wen naturally sat down next to Jiang Ni.

They were sitting in the second-to-last row, with a row of empty seats behind them.

Just as the movie was about to start, several men entered, including Tan Yan. They walked straight towards the area behind Jiang Ni and the others.

Jiang Ni was talking to Chen Siyao and didn't notice Tan Yan. Tan Yan did see him, but he didn't pretend not to. Coincidentally, Tan Yan happened to sit behind Jiang Ni.

Tan Yan didn't expect to run into them while just going to see a movie with friends.

Tan Wen deliberately leaned close to Jiang Ni's ear and said, "Sister, I want a Coke."

He was so close that, from Tan Yan's perspective, his lips were almost touching Jiang Ni's ear.

Jiang Ni showed no discomfort whatsoever and casually handed him the cola: "I told you to buy an extra cup, but you refused. Here, have it."

"It's okay, you use the straw, I'll just open the lid and take a sip."

Jiang Ni nodded: "Okay."

Tan Yan overheard their conversation clearly from behind, and to be honest, he wasn't particularly surprised by their "intimacy."

I remember once he bought a ticket to return to Ning County on a weekend. Because it was a spur-of-the-moment decision, he didn't tell his family.

At that time, he had just confirmed his relationship with Jiang Ni and they weren't that close yet, but Jiang Ni and Tan Wen had already been spending more than two months together.

When he entered the house, he didn't see Jiang Ni in the living room. Tan Mei told him, "She's in Xiao Zong's bedroom tutoring him."

Tan Yan tiptoed to the door of Tan Wen's bedroom. They hadn't closed the door; it was ajar, facing the desk.

This desk is for one person. Jiang Ni is explaining a wrong question to Tan Wen. The two are very close, arm to arm, shoulder to shoulder. One is explaining seriously, and the other is listening attentively.

He was very surprised at the time.

Jiang Ni is a person who is very sensitive to physical contact. Even he had to spend a long time with her before he was able to desensitize her.

But Tan Wen had only known her for two months.

Tan Wen was even more eccentric.

That unruly person actually sat quietly and listened to someone explain a problem to him.

However, he was so happy that he held hands with Jiang Ni and went out to play for half a day that he didn't think about it anymore.

Looking back now, I just feel ridiculous.

The movie had already started, but Tan Yan had long lost interest in watching it.

Tan Wen knew that he was being stared at by Jiang Ni, so he deliberately made things difficult for him. After watching for a while, he pretended to be sleepy and leaned his head on Jiang Ni's shoulder.

He had just covered the night shift for his senior last night, and Jiang Ni really thought he hadn't rested well and was sleepy, so she didn't push him away.

His short hair was a bit prickly, which made Jiang Ni distracted while watching.

Chen Siyao wanted to discuss the plot with Jiang Ni, but when she turned her head, she changed the words she was about to say and asked softly, "Sister Jiang, what kind of boy do you like?"

Upon hearing this, Tan Wen's eyes twitched.

Jiang Ni thought for a moment: "Emotionally stable."

—Then I'm too stable.

"Be patient."

—My patience is definitely good enough.

"loyalty."

—Woof, no one is more loyal to you than I am.

Chen Siyao was only a teenager, so it wasn't clear what her criteria for choosing a partner were: "What about looks and height?"

She added, "To be honest, your ex-boyfriend didn't seem to be good enough for you in terms of looks alone."

Tan, pretending to be asleep, asked: Ha. Not good enough.

Tan Yan in the back: ...

Jiang Ni said, "I don't care about these things, as long as it's acceptable."

Tan, pretending to be asleep, said: Haha. It's just passable.

Tan Yan behind: …………

"If you're not very good-looking, won't you feel awkward kissing me?"

Jiang Ni: "...I close my eyes when I kiss."

Tan Wen, who had been laughing for half a day, suddenly wilted: ...

Completely uncomforted, Tan Yan: ……………

Chen Siyao said, "It seems so."

Tan Wen was afraid of hurting Jiang Ni's shoulders, so he pretended for a while and then "woke up" on his own.

Jiang Ni asked softly, "Are you very tired?"

Tan shook his head: "It's alright, maybe the movie is a bit hypnotic—I'm going to the restroom to wash my face."

Jiang Ni thought to herself, "You fell asleep less than ten minutes into the show. Is it really that hypnotic?"

But he replied verbally, "Go ahead."

As soon as Tan Wen went out, Tan Yan got up and followed him.

The two brothers met by chance at the corner of the deserted corridor.

Tan Yan spoke first: "You like Jiang Ni."

This is not a question.

Tan asked evasively, "Of course I like her. My sister is very outstanding, and everyone likes her very much."

Tan Yan smiled wryly: "Yeah, who wouldn't like her? If you really get what you want... be good to her, don't be like me."

His "deeply affectionate" demeanor was truly disgusting to Tan Wen. When he was having sex with other women, why didn't he think about being good to Jiang Ni? Now he's using this tone to "instruct" others. Who does he think he's disgusting?

Tan Wen put his hands in his pockets, walked past him, and headed straight for the restroom.
