I am a dragon

"Sister-in-law, wait a moment, I have something to say." I stopped Jiang Ruxue, who was about to leave.

Jiang Ruxue stopped and turned around, her eyes filled with weariness: "What's wrong?"

I took a deep breath and lowered my voice unconsciously: "My brother has probably been kidnapped."

Jiang Ruxue looked at me, then suddenly swayed, and I quickly caught her.

Her icy fingers gripped my wrist, her voice trembling: "What did you say? Kidnapping? Who did it?"

These past few days, Jiang Ruxue had been exhausted by Lin Fang's affairs, so hearing news about Lin Fang naturally made her extremely excited.

She was holding my hand, and I could feel her hand trembling. The weariness and expectation in her eyes were heartbreaking.

"I don't know where my brother is, but someone saw him being kidnapped. The kidnappers are from out of town. I've already told Jiang Ruxue about the situation."

Shock gradually appeared in Jiang Ruxue's eyes. She released my hand and said to me, "No wonder your brother disappeared without a word. He was kidnapped. Oh my god. Keep a close eye on things at the police station. I'm going to see a lawyer now."

By the way, don't tell your second aunt about this yet. Let me tell her after I've seen the lawyer.

I was worried about her, so I offered again, "I'll go with you."

Jiang Ruxue glanced in the direction of Tao Xiaotao's room.

Tao Xiaotao hadn't eaten yet; she had gone into her bedroom, while Ning Meng was washing dishes in the kitchen.

Jiang Ruxue lowered her voice and said, "You should stay home. Otherwise, if something happens, neither of us can bear the responsibility."

Besides, I'm just going to see a lawyer; nothing will happen. If anything does happen, I'll call you.

Since Jiang Ruxue had already said that, I had no choice but to nod and say, "Okay, then be careful."

Jiang Ruxue nodded, changed into high heels, and went out.

As soon as I closed the door, I went into the kitchen, snatched the bowl from Ning Meng's hands, and said, "You need to rest now and can't touch cold water, don't you know that?"

Ning Meng looked up, wiped her forehead with her arm, and said, "You know about this too?"

"Don't forget, I am a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine." I gestured for Ning Meng to step back.

Ning Meng took a step back, untied her apron and wrapped it around me, whispering, "Your brother really got kidnapped?"

I paused for a moment, then continued washing the dishes without turning around: "Yes, the police are investigating now."

"President Lin is a good person," Ning Meng remarked.

I asked, puzzled, "He got you pregnant, and you think he's a good person?"

"I don't blame him. This isn't just one person's problem. He and Teacher Jiang are not on the same path."

I turned around and said in a deep voice, "Are they all from the same boat, a married couple?"

Ning Meng was startled by me and explained, "It's not what you think. President Lin said that he always felt inferior in front of Jiang Ruxue because Teacher Jiang is too outstanding."

I don't understand, and I don't know if Lin Fang said this. He feels inferior because his wife is outstanding. What kind of logic is that? Does he want to find an unsuccessful woman to be his wife?

Besides, Ning Meng is young and beautiful, so why doesn't Lin Fang feel inferior in front of her?

I told Ning Meng about my doubts, but I regretted it as soon as I asked. It felt weird to talk about Lin Fang with Lin Fang's mistress.

Ning Meng thought for a moment and said, "Thank you for praising my beauty. I wasn't talking about my appearance, but my temperament. Jiang Ruxue definitely has the temperament of a goddess, and most people can't resist her."

I was skeptical.

Ning Meng said, "Actually, you and Jiang Ruxue are a better match."

I frowned and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Jiang Ruxue is my sister-in-law!"

"Don't misunderstand, I just said that your aura can suppress Jiang Ruxue, but Lin Fang can't." Ning Meng is younger than me, but she seems to know a lot.

I smiled wryly and said, "I'm just a convict, what kind of aura could I possibly have? Don't be ridiculous."

Ning Meng said very seriously, "No, you will definitely be a big shot in the future, and... forgive me for being blunt, but Jiang Ruxue's gaze towards you is strange."

I was startled: "This is getting more and more outrageous."

Ning Meng said, "Believe it or not, don't forget, we are both women, and now we have the same man."

I was speechless.

"You really have no regrets. Maybe you and Liu Chaoyang will have a better future. He's a college student."

A look of pain flashed in Ning Meng's eyes: "To be honest, Liu Chaoyang and I grew up together, and our families are very close. We even talked about getting married when we were kids."

But that's all just talk for kids. Liu Chaoyang might have a bright future, but I can't afford to wait.

I looked into her eyes and said, "You seem to know a lot."

"Girls always mature earlier than boys," Ning Meng said, returning to normal.

Her phone buzzed, Ning Meng took it out and glanced at it, but didn't answer.

Who called?

"Ignore those harassing phone calls."

As we were talking, I had already finished washing the dishes when Tao Xiaotao came in. She glanced at Ning Meng with disgust and then said to me, "Lu Feng, come for a walk with me."

"I'm busy." I said curtly, disapproving of Tao Xiaotao's way of doing things.

Tao Xiaotao said angrily, "If you don't go, I'll tell my brother that you and Ning Meng aren't a couple at all, and that you two lied to her together. My brother hates being lied to the most."

"Who said we're not a couple?"

"If you're a couple, then kiss her, not on the forehead or cheek, but on the lips." Tao Xiaotao put her hands on her hips, feeling smug about her brilliant idea.

I was stunned for a moment. Ning Meng was Lin Fang's mistress, and he wanted me to kiss Ning Meng on the lips. I couldn't bring myself to do it.

Unexpectedly, Ning Meng suddenly hugged me and kissed me on the lips.

I froze, my mind went completely blank. This was my first kiss, and just like that... it was gone...

"Enough!" Tao Xiaotao roared in fury.

Ning Meng released me and said to Tao Xiaotao, "Miss Su, Lu Feng and I are a couple, and Teacher Jiang was our matchmaker. If you don't believe me, you can ask Teacher Jiang."

Tao Xiaotao's lips twitched, and she raised her hand to slap Ning Meng.

With lightning speed, I grabbed Tao Xiaotao's raised hand and snapped, "Enough!"

"Hmph!" Tao Xiaotao shook off my hand, annoyed. "Lu Feng, I'm just asking you, are you coming with me or not?"

Ning Meng, like a dutiful wife, straightened my clothes and said, "Lu Feng, you go with Miss Tao. She wants to buy some things and might need your help carrying them. She's the landlady, so we can't offend her."

Her words made me even more dissatisfied with Tao Xiaotao. Seeing that I didn't move, Ning Meng pushed me out.

I had no choice but to agree to Tao Xiaotao's request, but I didn't want to talk to her, so I walked ahead with my head down.

Tao Xiaotao said from behind, "Don't be fooled by Ning Meng, she's being cunning. Hey, I'm talking to you, say something."

"I don't want to talk. What do you want to buy? Hurry up and buy it. I have things to do."

"You really don't want to be with me?" Tao Xiaotao asked, her voice tinged with sadness.

No, but when I think about Su Kun's twisted psychology, if he were with Tao Xiaotao, he probably wouldn't even know how he died.

I gave a perfunctory answer, wondering if things were going smoothly for Jiang Ruxue, and also thinking about how I had lost my job and didn't have much money left, and where I was going to earn some more.

Tao Xiaotao got angry when I ignored her and walked away in a huff.

We had just stepped out of the residential area when I suddenly saw a dark shadow flash past me. A person was already standing in front of me, yelling, "Where did you take Ning Meng? If you don't hand her over today, I'll beat you to death!"
