The next day was Sunday.
Jiang Lan didn’t go out; instead he stayed home playing games with his younger brothers, enjoying his time as a happy homebody.
After having breakfast, Bi’an started grooming himself in front of the mirror. Once his hairstyle, clothes, and watch were all in place, he went out with a beaming smile.
Jiang Lan craned her neck and asked, “Fourth Brother, where are you going?”
Bi’an turned his head and smiled at him: “Go and snatch your sister-in-law.”
Then he waved dismissively and couldn’t wait to leave.
Jiang Lan: ???
Snatching? Snatching from whom?
It felt like he had missed out on so much in just two days. His fourth brother’s sudden surge of confidence and high spirits made him even more worried.
He was terrified that if he didn’t get his sister-in-law back, his fourth brother will be gone too.
On the other hand, Bi’an didn’t know what he was thinking, otherwise he might have given his younger brother a loving lesson.
….
In the evening, when Jiang Lan was video chatting with Ying Qiao, he heard about Chen Hua’s senior brother and learned the source of Fourth Brother’s sudden confidence.
It turns out it’s because the rival in love is gone.
That’s definitely something to celebrate.
However, he was still a little worried: “Since he’s putting on such a convincing act, will my sister-in-law not believe my fourth brother?”
On one side was his senior brother with whom he had had a relationship for hundreds of years, and on the other side was a business partner with whom he had only recently become acquainted and may not have a good impression of him. No matter how you looked at it, it seemed that Fourth Brother’s chances of winning were not very high.
Ying Qiao seemed quite reassured: “Chen Hua should know what’s going on. He values relationships, but he’s not a fool.”
Now that he understood Bi’an’s warning yesterday, he would naturally be on guard. He wasn’t the kind of person who would be blinded by emotions.
Hearing him say that, Jiang Lan felt somewhat relieved.
He could only silently pray for my fourth brother, hoping he wouldn’t suddenly and inexplicably mess things up again.
Although Fourth Brother was very reliable at work, his methods of pursuing his sister-in-law were increasingly perplexing and incomprehensible.
That made people very uneasy.
Hopefully, this time it would be more effective, otherwise he might really be sentenced to a life without a wife.
….
The two were video chatting and exchanging pleasantries. Ying Qiao was reviewing documents, while Jiang Lan was spending time with his younger brothers in a row, looking quite relaxed.
Before the game was even over, several messages tagging him suddenly popped up in the WeChat group.
Jiang Lan finished the game and let Jiang Chi and the others play by themselves before switching to check the messages.
—It was messages sent in the small group of four people. In just a short while, it had already received 99+ messages. Jiang Lan clicked in and looked at the chat history in the group, and his brows slowly furrowed.
Xue Meng tagged him, and Zhang Tianxing also tagged him, but it was on behalf of Xiao Xiaoyu.
The earliest group message was around noon. Xiao Xiaoyu and her two girlfriends were going to Bai You’s concert. She hadn’t originally planned to go; she had given all three tickets Jiang Lan had given her to her girlfriends who were fans of Bai You. But one of her girlfriends had a family emergency and couldn’t go, and not wanting to waste her ticket, she went along too.
During the concert, Xiao Xiaoyu complained in the group chat that she regretted coming. She said that Bai You’s singing skills were not very good, but the fans were very excited and enthusiastic. Her two girlfriends and other fans were shouting for an encore like crazy. She was the only one sitting in the middle with a cold face, which was very awkward. She could only play along with her acting skills.
She rambled on for a while, and only after the concert ended, when she said she was going to have hot pot with her girlfriends, did she send a “I’m alive again” emoji in the group chat.
Her comments up to this point were all normal. What was abnormal was that shortly after she mentioned going to eat hot pot, she said in the group chat that her two girlfriends seemed to be under Bai You’s spell. After leaving the stadium, they kept talking about Bai You in a high-spirited manner and didn’t even pay attention to what she was saying.
Anyway, she didn’t enjoy the hot pot meal at all.
She also mentioned that her girlfriends had seen a message somewhere saying that Bai You might go to a certain hotel that night, and they discussed going to wait for him near the hotel in advance.
Xiao Xiaoyu herself was a fan of celebrities and hated obsessive fans the most. Her first reaction was of course to disagree and to advise them to be more rational. However, her two friends suddenly changed their expressions and glared at her with particularly ferocious expressions.
Xiao Xiaoyu then realized something was amiss. Her two best friends were very close to her, often climbing walls together, and had always been against obsessive fans, never doing anything to interfere with a celebrity’s private schedule. Moreover, they had known each other for years, rarely had any conflicts, and were practically like sisters.
The other party suddenly turned hostile, their expression particularly ferocious. Xiao Xiaoyu’s first reaction wasn’t anger, but fear.
She’d always felt Bai You was a bit eerie and seeing him for too long always made her feel uneasy. But she hadn’t taken it to heart. Today, sitting at the concert and feeling the fervor of the fans around her, she vaguely felt it was going too far. Those fans looked so fanatical, as if they might rush off the stage and kneel down at any moment. But she didn’t care; after all, Bai You’s fans were known for their fanaticism.
It wasn’t until her friends suddenly stared at her like enemies that she finally realized something was wrong and felt a sense of fear.
