The younger sister pretends to be hypnotized, and her older brother gets addicted.

Jiang Zhuo was stunned.

"Ruan Yang, explain yourself clearly. How do I look like a 'spirited young man'?"

Even if Ruan Yang has temporarily forgotten about him, she shouldn't treat him like a young geek, right?

Have you ever seen such a handsome and energetic young man?

Ruan Yang pointed to the mirror, "Look for yourself."

"Go ahead and look—"

Jiang Zhuo paused, then exclaimed, "The sky has fallen!"

Who is this man in the mirror with frizzy, tanned skin and wrinkled clothes?

Jiang Zhuo bought the flight at the last minute, which not only made the ticket price expensive, but also left very few seats available when checking in.

On the left is an Indian man, and on the right sits an American with a large appetite.

What they have in common: well-developed sweat glands and loud snoring.

Jiang Zhuo was caught in the middle, squeezed and noisy.

He took out his phone, wanting to vent to his friends.

result.

Economy class does not have Wi-Fi access.

After finally landing, she had to go to the police station to bail Qiao Wei out.

A real-life version of "Lost in Thailand".

Jiang Zhuo had never experienced such hardship before.

When traveling abroad for competitions, he usually travels by private jet.

Looking back now, Jiang Zhuo felt a pang of regret.

If they had listened to their older brother and given Qiao Lingling some money, she wouldn't be in such a sorry state now.

Otherwise, let's have the eldest brother restore Ruan Yang's memories...

Qiao Lingling, standing to the side, took in all the changes in Jiang Zhuo's expression.

Her tears fell at just the right moment.

"Miss Ruan, if you hadn't had the young master cut off A-Zhuo's living expenses, we could have returned in first class, and A-Zhuo wouldn't be in such a sorry state..."

Ah Zhuo Ah Zhuo.

Ruan Yang looked over and said, "I remember who you are now."

Jiang Zhuo's eyebrows twitched. "You remembered?"

My older brother said a long time ago that hypnosis carries the risk of failure.

If the person being hypnotized has deep enough emotions, even if they temporarily forget them, they will eventually remember them again.

"Yes, my older brother mentioned you."

Ruan Yang said calmly, "You're a relative of the Jiang family, aren't you?"

Jiang Zhuo's smile froze on his face.

Ruan Yang frowned. "But you two want to fly first class, so why are you spending my older brother's money? You're both capable; you should be self-reliant. Aren't you ashamed to live a life of dependence?"

Jiang Zhuo stood there, stunned.

Ruan Yang had never spoken to him in such a disdainful tone.

A strange sense of irritation welled up inside him, pressing on his chest and making him feel uncomfortable all over.

Qiao Lingling wiped away her tears, "Azhuo, let it go, just consider it Weiwei's fault, don't let me cause trouble for Miss Ruan."

Jiang Zhuo's heart softened.

That frustration turned into heartache for her.

"Lingling, you don't have to compromise."

As he spoke, Jiang Zhuo grabbed Ruan Yang's wrist, his tone turning stern: "Never mind who I am, you set a trap for Qiao Wei and then stood by and watched her die, you should apologize to her!"

"Snapped!"

A crisp slap landed on Jiang Zhuo's face, with considerable force, causing him to tilt his head to the side.

Ruan Yang: ?

Turning around, I saw that Yao Jinzhi had arrived at some point.

"...Mom, what brings you here?"

Yao Jinzhi originally wanted to talk to Ruan Yang and also take a look at where she worked.

Unexpectedly, she saw her youngest son, who had just returned to the country, force Ruan Yang to apologize for another woman without even asking what happened.

"Mom! You hit me?"

Jiang Zhuo covered her face in disbelief.

From childhood to adulthood, his mother was always gentle and never laid a finger on him.

Yao Jinzhi's expression was serious. "Jiang Zhuo, I've been too lenient with you before. Now, go home immediately."

Jiang Zhuo's spoiled temper flared up. "Mom, you're clearly spoiling Ruan Yang! Do you know that she maliciously bid at the auction, almost causing Qiao Wei to go to jail!"

Yao Jinzhi laughed in exasperation.

"I heard someone say that Qiao Wei was deliberately trying to steal things from Yang Yang because she was dating a rich second-generation boyfriend. It turns out the boyfriend was fake, and even the car was rented."

"If you're greedy for wealth and fail to make money, can you blame Yang Yang for it?"

Jiang Zhuo was taken aback and looked at Qiao Wei.

Qiao Wei guiltily avoided eye contact.

She whispered, "...Brother-in-law, you have to help me."

Jiang Zhuo spoke with difficulty, "Mom, there must be some misunderstanding."

Brother-in-law?

Yao Jinzhi seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.

Perhaps the banquet was the right thing to do.

Jiang Zhuo is not a good match for Ruan Yang.

It's better to forget it.

Yao Jinzhi pulled the bewildered Ruan Yang back, glanced at Qiao Lingling, and spoke in a cold tone.

"Miss Qiao, you and your sister have committed heinous acts against Yang Yang. Shouldn't you apologize?"

Qiao Lingling pursed her lips, her eyes reddening, and said:

"I'm sorry, Ms. Ruan. I was just worried and believed the rumors online that you are... a murderer. I apologize to Weiwei on your behalf."

"What murderer?" Yao Jinzhi frowned.

"Auntie, didn't you know?"

Qiao Lingling opened her eyes wide innocently, "The internet says that Miss Ruan was jealous of the maid and fired her without cause, leaving the maid without money to treat her mother's illness... Of course, I know it must all be a misunderstanding."

Yao Jinzhi didn't believe a word of it.

She sneered, "Miss Qiao, put away your petty thoughts. I watched Yangyang grow up; I know her temperament best. Only my foolish son would listen to your instigation."

Feeling a warm current flow through Ruan Yang's heart at being unconditionally trusted.

Yao Jinzhi gently pulled her hand.

"Yangyang, come on, let's go home with Mom."

She glanced back at Jiang Zhuo again.

"Aren't you coming? If you don't go back to the old house today, you'll never have to go back for the rest of your life."

Jiang Zhuo hesitated for a long time before following them.

……

Evening, at the Jiang residence.

When Zhao Zhao came home from school, her eyes lit up when she saw Ruan Yang's shoes at the door.

"My sister-in-law is back!"

The little guy dashed into the living room and froze when he saw his second brother, whom he hadn't seen for half a month, sitting on the sofa.

Jiang Zhuo pulled his younger brother over and teased him.

"What's wrong? Are you so happy to see your second brother that you've gone crazy?"

"By the way, didn't you call Ruan Yang by her full name before? Why are you calling her 'sister-in-law' now? Did she force you to?"

Zhao Zhao shook her little head. "No."

...It was my older brother who forced me to do it.

"Then don't call her sister-in-law anymore." Jiang Zhuo leaned back casually on the sofa, crossed her long legs, and chuckled. "Otherwise, she'll get all cocky."

Zhao Zhao swallowed nervously.

"...Second Brother, is there any possibility that you'll also have to call her sister-in-law?"
