Take her as my wife

Tan Wen informed Jiang Ni that he was going back to Ning County to attend a classmate reunion. After receiving Jiang Ni's reply, he left with the Hu brothers by car.

Ning County's economy is much better now than it was two years ago. The anti-gang and anti-crime policies have also improved the social atmosphere in the county. However, even without local tyrants, there are still local bullies. Many bosses here made their fortunes through organized crime, and even after they have cleaned up their act, they still do not change their arrogant and unreasonable style.

Tan Jianming was just that unlucky to run into such a heartless boss.

The night before last, He Xiaoling called Tan Wen in tears. It turned out that there had been an accident at the construction site where Tan Jianming had just started working, and Tan Jianming and several other workers had been injured.

Tan Jianming's abdomen was pierced by a steel bar. The nearest small hospital they went to had limited medical capabilities, and after a long period of resuscitation efforts, there was still no result.

Tan Wen reassured them by saying he had a solution, and sure enough, an ambulance arrived quickly to take them to the county hospital.

This morning, Tan Yan contacted him again, saying that the construction site owner had run away with his family, and the contractor who had hired them to do the work had also disappeared.

Now, a group of workers can't get their wages, and a group of injured people can't get their compensation either; everyone is at a loss.

Tan Yan said, "I know you have a wide network of connections, so please think of a way... I will also pay half of Dad's medical expenses."

Tan Wen didn't hesitate and transferred 50,000 yuan directly to him: "Just say this money is from you. I'll go back and check on things today."

"...Okay." Tan Yan remained silent for a while before finally agreeing.

As he hung up the phone, he seemed to be seeking Tan Wen's opinion, hesitatingly asking, "Could I consult her about this?"

A hint of impatience flashed in Tan Wen's dark eyes as he said in a cold tone, "There's more than just my sister as a lawyer in Yicheng. Brother, your wife is quite pregnant, isn't she? You just need to take good care of her."

Tan Yan gave an awkward "hmm" and ended the call.

When the car arrived in Ning County, it was a little after 7 p.m. He called Jiang Ni to let her know he was safe. When the call connected, a burst of upbeat electronic music came through before Jiang Ni's voice could be heard.

Tan Wen pressed her cheek against the soft flesh of her cheek, her face cold, but her voice sounded obedient: "Are you having fun at a bar, sister?"

He wasn't unhappy that Jiang Ni went to the bar; he was unhappy that Jiang Ni went to the bar as soon as he left.

In other words, he was worried that if he wasn't by Jiang Ni's side, and Jiang Ni took a liking to some man, he wouldn't even have a chance to sabotage the relationship.

"Yes, I was with Jiaren and Jiang Fengyu." Jiang Ni didn't detect the emotions he was trying to hide.

"Okay, have fun, sister. I won't bother you any longer."

After Jiang Ni put away her phone, Liu Jiaren winked at her and said, "Your handsome little brother is so sensible." She probably bit his back teeth off, haha.

However, Jiang Ni couldn't detect the gloating tone in her best friend's voice; she even nodded in agreement.

The two sisters hadn't seen each other for a long time.

Jiang Ni was busy solving Du Yucheng's case, and Liu Jiaren never bothered her when she was busy with work.

During this time, Liu Jiaren and Jiang Fengyu made rapid progress, and Jiang Fengyu begged Liu Jiaren to live with him.

Liu Jiaren retorted stubbornly, "If it weren't for the fact that he cooks so well, I wouldn't have agreed."

Jiang Ni smiled demurely with her eyes crinkled, not exposing her true feelings. The two sisters chatted for a while about recent events. When Liu Jiaren heard that Jiang Ni had actually been kidnapped, she was so angry that she almost smashed her wine glass.

"Damn it, did that bastard do anything to you?!"

Jiang Ni shook her head: "No, Tan Wen arrived very quickly with his men. You know those hotel doors, he actually kicked them open with his foot, that's amazing."

Liu Jiaren clicked her tongue, thinking to herself that it seemed the younger brother was more reliable than the older brother…

"Weren't you really touched at that moment? Weren't you moved?" Liu Jiaren said jokingly.

Jiang Ni ignored her second question and answered honestly, "I'm touched."

In Jiang Ni's relatively short 26 years of life, she has actually received very little of this kind of fervent dedication and care.

But the door collapsed with a crash, and when she met Tan Wen's worried eyes, she did feel a sharp, warm feeling in her heart.

Just like when Tan Wen carried her through the alleys of Ning County, the boy's back was warm and broad.

"If you're feeling touched, you should thank him," Liu Jiaren said, offering another mischievous suggestion. "I think it's such a shame that such a handsome young man doesn't have a girlfriend. I have a little cousin here, about his age, at a dance academy, she's gorgeous, why don't you introduce her to him?"

Jiang Ni had never done matchmaking before, and hesitated subconsciously: "I think it's better to cultivate feelings on your own..."

Liu Jiaren spoke eloquently: "But you need to have the opportunity to cultivate them first. You should introduce them; whether the young people like each other or not is their business. What, are you reluctant to let them go?"

Jiang Ni wasn't provoked by her goading: "I'll ask him if he's interested in dating when he gets back."

The two sisters were chatting enthusiastically on one end, while Jiang Fengyu, who was left out, didn't say a word. He leaned against Liu Jiaren and played a mobile game by himself. Liu Jiaren put one hand around the back of his neck and pinched his ear playfully.

This small gesture perfectly revealed the unmistakable intimacy between the two.

Jiang Fengyu became increasingly distracted as she pinched him. The man, who had only recently lost his virginity, couldn't resist her teasing. He locked his phone, leaned close to Liu Jiaren's ear, and whispered, "It's getting late, let's go home. I'll go pay the bill."

Liu Jiaren could see through his little scheme, and taking advantage of Jiang Ni's inattention, she quickly pinched him.

"Um...be gentle." Jiang Fengyu closed his legs.

Then, without much anger, she said, "Oh no, what are you using...?"

Liu Jiaren smiled brightly and boldly at him: "You're the only man in the world I have? Find someone else—um."

When Jiang Ni looked up, she found that the two of them were actually kissing—she felt like a light bulb, shining brightly.

Liu Jiaren only let him have his way by giving her a kiss, silencing the words he didn't want to hear, then pushed him away and cursed, "You're like a dog, all you do is bite."

Jiang Fengyu wiped the lipstick from his lips. He was still smiling even after she scolded him. He stood up and said, "I'll go pay the bill."

His tall figure was quite eye-catching when he blended into the crowd. In the short time it took to pay the bill, women came up to chat with him. After all, besides his outstanding appearance, what was most attractive about Jiang Fengyu was the "rich second generation" aura he exuded.

From head to toe, he was decked out in luxury goods; he practically had "wealthy" written all over his face to proclaim to the world.

As expected, Jiang Fengyu rejected the woman immediately.

With a smile in her eyes, Liu Jiaren asked Jiang Ni, "Am I being good?"

Jiang Ni nodded: "You should cherish her."

She had finally met a man who wasn't a womanizer and didn't have any bad habits, so Jiang Ni naturally hoped that she could settle down.

After leaving the bar, Jiang Ni took a taxi home. Jiang Fengyu hadn't been drinking; he had driven there himself—an imported Range Rover worth over two million yuan. The car was imposing, but the interior was decorated in pink, all according to Liu Jiaren's preferences.

They went to the garage hand in hand to get their car. Not long after they drove off, Jiang Fengyu noticed something was wrong—a Mercedes-Benz G-Class had been following them.

Because Jiang Fengyu's villa wasn't in the city center, after they got on the inner ring expressway, they were the only two cars left around them.

The car was not only chasing closely, but it also seemed to be accelerating and trying to crash into us.

"Jiajia, hold on tight to the handrail!" Jiang Fengyu's expression changed.
