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

Before Ruan Yang could even greet the school bully, the bully, as if he'd seen a ghost, switched seats with his colleague.

Can also understand.

He had bullied her when he was young and reckless, and seeing her again inevitably made him feel guilty, which is why he dared not face her.

Reasonable.

Ruan Yang yawned again, leaned back in her chair, and fell asleep.

This time, she had another dream.

She dreamt of the original incident where Jiang Yanci was injured in Suzhou.

In her dream, she also saw Jiang Zhuo and Qiao Lingling's couple vlog during this time. She cried and sent a message to her brother who was on a business trip, asking him to help her get back together with Jiang Zhuo. She even threatened to kill herself.

Her brother was worried about her, and while driving to the airport, he got distracted and crashed into the guardrail.

Ruan Yang woke up with a start.

She wiped her face and realized that her face was covered in tears.

And then she finally realized something.

Her presence would bring misfortune to her brother.

Ruan Yang turned her head and looked at Jiang Yanci, who was working on a computer on a small table. She made a decision.

She decided to contact the matchmaker as soon as she got off the plane.

This time, she will lower her standards, meet more potential partners, and get married as soon as possible to shed her villainous supporting character persona and avoid implicating those who care about her.

Afraid that her older brother would find out she was crying, Ruan Yang closed her eyes again.

In fact, Jiang Yanci had already noticed her sobbing in her dream.

Coincidentally, the video playing on Ruan Yang's Douyin screen was still Jiang Zhuo and Qiao Lingling's video.

Jiang Yanci misunderstood that she was crying because of Jiang Zhuo.

Jiang Yanci also made a decision.

Jiang Zhuo will only bring pain to Ruan Yang.

It's better to forget about it.

But it wasn't what Jiang Zhuo said; he only forgot for a month.

Instead, it's about making her forget forever.

He contacted his mother: "Mom, the wedding next month can be canceled."

Yao Jinzhi: [Did Xiao Zhu say that?]

Jiang Yanci: [I said it.]

A moment later, Yao Jinzhi replied: 【…Does Xiao Zhuo know?】

Jiang Yanci: [There's no need to tell him that Yangyang saved him not so that he would repay kindness with enmity.]

Yao Jinzhi: [Does Yangyang know about this?]

Yao Jinzhi: [The wealthy families in Beijing and Hong Kong all know about her engagement to Xiao Zhuo. You're a man, you don't understand a woman's situation. After breaking off the engagement with Xiao Zhuo, what will outsiders say about Yang Yang? How is she supposed to get married?]

The screen's glow illuminated Jiang Yanci's cold, stern face.

He replied: "At the weekend banquet, I will publicly acknowledge her as my younger sister, and no one will dare to object."

*

The plane landed safely.

The crew said goodbye to the passengers at the door. When the school bully saw Ruan Yang, he darted away like a mouse before a cat.

Ruan Yang was understanding and pretended not to know him.

As she brushed past the school bully, something was suddenly stuffed into her hand.

It's a phone number.

"Yangyang, what's wrong?" Jiang Yanci turned around and asked.

Ruan Yang clutched the note tightly and followed, saying, "It's nothing."

As the two walked into the arrival hall, they saw three familiar figures; the wealthy and noble young men stood out in the crowd.

They were Jiang Zhuo's friends.

Are they here to laugh at us?

Ruan Yang shrank back, trying to pretend she hadn't seen it.

But the group saw her and rushed over to her.

"Yangyang, I didn't expect you to actually be on this flight!"

"Jiang Zhuo is a two-timing scoundrel."

"Don't be sad, brother will take you to play!"

The three of them squeezed in front of Ruan Yang.

But they soon quieted down.

Because they saw Jiang Yanci.

Jiang Yanci, dressed in a casual jacket and handmade thin-soled derby shoes, walked out from the bustling crowd, pulled Ruan Yang behind him, and glanced at the three of them with his dark eyes.

"What are you doing here?"

The three of them dared not move, they dared not move at all.

They fear nothing and no one, except for the eldest brother of the Jiang family.

"Brother Yanci, you're here too..."

Jiang Yanci said coldly, "Didn't you see my flight information when you were checking Yangyang's flight details?"

"..."

Not daring to be presumptuous, the three changed their tune, saying, "How about I escort Brother Yanci and Sister Yangyang back to the Jiang family?"

"No need." Jiang Yanci's eyes were cold and weary. "The Jiang family has no shortage of drivers."

With that, he pulled Ruan Yang away.

When they arrived at the parking lot, Ruan Yang whispered, "Brother, it hurts..."

Jiang Yanci lowered his eyes and saw his fingerprints on Ruan Yang's slender white wrist.

They look so pitiful.

He didn't use much force, so how come his sister left a mark so easily?

After a moment, he looked away, suppressing his disgusted thoughts, and said, "Stay away from Zhou Shiji and the others from now on. They're not suitable to be friends."

In the Beijing-Hong Kong social circle, those three were notorious playboys.

It's common for three men to share one woman.

They approached Ruan Yang, knowing without a doubt what they were going to do.

Ruan Yang shook her head, feeling wronged. "They're not friends, they just came to amuse me."

"How so?"

Mentioning this, Ruan Yang pouted and complained, "Brother, you don't know, those three came to laugh at me to my face. Look—this is the message they sent me."

Jiang Yanci raised an eyebrow slightly.

They were all men, and he could see right through their thoughts.

Jiang Yanci rubbed her head. "Yeah, you guessed right. Stay away from them from now on."

Ruan Yang grinned. "Okay."

Upon meeting that smile, Jiang Yanci's movements stiffened slightly, he withdrew his hand, and his expression turned cold.

He said, "I'm going to the company. You can go back first."

……

The night was gloomy.

Ruan Yang didn't go home; instead, she went to a matchmaking agency.

When the matchmaker heard that she had lowered her standards, she immediately arranged three male dates for her.

The first one is a 35-year-old boss with a net worth of nine figures. He is 183 cm tall, but his appearance is very average.

The man was very satisfied with Ruan Yang's appearance.

Although Ruan Yang wasn't interested, she didn't end the chat out of politeness.

Seeing how cooperative she was, the man narrowed his eyes and finally asked a question.

Are you a virgin?

"...You mean zodiac signs?"

"No." The man asked more bluntly, "I've heard that dance students are all pretty disorganized. I prefer girls who are cleaner. I'm being blunt, don't mind me, but I have a feeling I've seen you at the KTV before."

Ruan Yang remained silent: "Don't worry, I won't order anything like this at karaoke."

The man was taken aback.

The defenses were breached immediately.

……

The second one is a rich second-generation, handsome, with a good physique, and drives a silver-gray supercar.

However, he currently has a bluish tinge around his eyes, giving the impression of excessive indulgence.

Ruan Yang is considering wearing a mask.

They were afraid that syphilis could be transmitted through the air.

When the rich second-generation saw Ruan Yang, his eyes lit up. "I didn't expect to meet a beautiful woman on a blind date!"

He has a handsome face, but he's inexplicably greasy.

The rich kid licked his canine teeth. "Hey beautiful, I'm 18. Want to give it a try?"

Ruan Yang looked bewildered. "So small?"

The rich kid: "...I wasn't talking about age."

Ruan Yang's face turned serious. "Hmm, that's not what I meant either."
