Chapter 67: What a Mess

After dinner, Tang Wan drove to send Li Jinhe and Old Tang home, with Jiang Fan following behind in his car. It was just a ten-minute drive. When they returned, they picked up Jiang Fan's mother and the old man to go home together. In the car, Li Jinhe asked Tang Wan when she would move back. Tang Wan said she had no such intention. After hearing this, Li Jinhe seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and replied, "That's good."

After sending them home, Jiang Fan waited for Tang Wan outside the community in his Porsche Panamera. Tang Wan got into the car, and they switched seats without speaking to each other.

At 8 pm, the family of four finally arrived home. The old man went straight to his room and fell asleep. Jiang Fan muttered that the old man was really good and didn't need to worry. His mother slapped him and told him to rest early too.

After taking a shower, Jiang Fan felt embarrassed about the medicine his mother brought back from the hospital. His mother must have lain down to rest by now, and he didn't want to disturb her. He tried several times in front of the mirror but couldn't reach his back. Jiang Fan nervously pushed open Tang Wan's door and peeked in, saying cheekily,

"Hey... can you help me apply this medicine?"

Tang Wan glanced at Jiang Fan, then got out of bed, pulling the covers aside. Seeing an opportunity, Jiang Fan pushed the door open a little more and grinned,

"I feel bad about shouting at you during the day. Sorry about that. Should I go to my room?"

Tang Wan didn't respond but pointed to her bed. Jiang Fan walked into the room with his upper body bare and sat on the bed. Seeing this, Tang Wan frowned and said,

"Lie down."

At this moment, Jiang Fan felt a bit regretful. He shouldn't have provoked Tang Wan at the dinner table. He was a bit nervous now, afraid that Tang Wan might do something unexpected. As he felt Tang Wan's small hand moving on his back, Jiang Fan was a bit too suspicious.

Tang Wan didn't bother to deal with Jiang Fan. After applying the medicine, she patted Jiang Fan's lower back gently and said,

"What did you say to Lin Xuan when you left? Something about a hundred thousand yuan going to waste? You two are up to something, right?"

Jiang Fan stood up and stretched his body. His back felt cool where the wound was, but he didn't know what medicine had been applied. Then he grimaced and said,

"If I say there's nothing between us, even ghosts won't believe it. With his personality as a rich kid, could he just watch as his lovely and charming Wanwan goes in and out with me, a country boy? I just wanted to test if he was playing tricks behind our backs. Befriending Guan Dagou was also to prevent this big turtle from causing trouble."

Tang Wan, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, suddenly blushed and shyly got into the covers. Seeing this, Jiang Fan frowned and said,

"Hey, hey, hey? Did you only hear me praising you and not the other part? Do you always listen to others selectively?"

"Get out!"

Tang Wan glared up angrily, then lowered her head and muttered softly,

"I'll send my parents off tomorrow morning. Do you have to work tomorrow?"

"It depends. Your bed feels more comfortable than my futon."

Jiang Fan stood by the bed with a mischievous grin. Tang Wan scooted inside after hearing this, lifted the covers, patted the bed, and smiled with her eyes half-closed.

"Come on, let's talk in bed."

"I'm not feeling well. Next time, next time!"

Jiang Fan turned and ran. He always seemed to fall short at crucial moments. Of course, he couldn't take Tang Wan's words seriously. If he got into bed now, he wouldn't know what earth-shaking events would happen next.

After a busy day, Jiang Fan went back to his room and fell asleep immediately. When he woke up again, it was already dawn, and the antique phone by his pillow was ringing incessantly. He picked up the phone, still half-asleep, and mumbled,

"Hello, Jiang Fan."

"Little brother-in-law, I heard you got hurt? Jiawei and I are going to visit you tonight. Uncle Guan said you gave me your email, but I haven't received it. I have those photos with me. I'll give you the USB drive tonight. My dad praised you, saying you're very smart."

Jiang Fan sat up, rubbing his eyes. He heard a man's laughter on the phone and frowned, asking,

"Didn't you go to school today?"

"No, I'm sick and getting an injection at home. Oh! My dad asked if you're working today and wants to meet you. Should I ask Uncle Guan to pick you up?"

Tu Kun didn't sound sick at all. His voice on the phone was clear and enthusiastic, as if he really wanted to see the scene of Jiang Fan meeting her father. Jiang Fan had already walked out of his room. He pushed open Tang Wan's door and found she had already left. Holding the phone, he said softly,

"Tell your dad I'm not available. And you should focus on your studies and not get involved in your family's messy affairs. Go to school now and tell your dad that there's no need to talk about using you as a shield."

On the other side of the phone, Tu Kun relayed the message to Tu Xiao. Jiang Fan went downstairs and pushed open his parents' door, only to find they were gone too. They should have left already. Jiang Fan hung up the phone and was about to call Chen Yi when Su Qing's call came in. Jiang Fan thought for a moment, then hung up directly and threw his phone onto the sofa to change clothes.

By the time Jiang Fan finished getting ready, Tang Wan had returned. She had worn a set of pajamas to send people off. She glanced at Jiang Fan, who was still half-asleep, and went upstairs to catch up on sleep. Jiang Fan didn't ask any further questions. He picked up his phone and left for work.

When he walked out of the community gate and saw the red Raptor, Jiang Fan turned and ran back. Why did Su Qing suddenly come over? Jiang Fan didn't run much faster than a turtle. Hearing the sound of high heels behind him, Jiang Fan gave up struggling. He turned around, bowed, and shouted loudly,

"Can I take a day off today?"

"No way. Go to the company."

Su Qing was wearing a black miniskirt, stockings with letters, and a pair of high heels. She grabbed Jiang Fan's arm and dragged him out of the community. Jiang Fan resisted, wrinkling his brow and whispering,

"Mind your behavior. I still want to live in this community. Su, let go of me."

"I'm afraid you'll run away. Qian Ling called me yesterday to ask about Tang Wan. I told her you were resting. She's coming to the company today. I really can't help you with this trouble."

People passing by looked at Jiang Fan with strange expressions. Some of them had seen Jiang Fan and Tang Wan walking downstairs together, including the young men who had played basketball with Jiang Fan. Their eyes were filled with surprise and envy.

Just a while ago, he went to the basketball court with a woman who looked like a goddess. Her long legs kept people awake at night. Today, he was intimately accompanied by another woman who looked like a temptress, with her arm around his. What was this guy capable of? Why were there so many beautiful women around him?

While considering whether to become his apprentice, Jiang Fan had already gotten into the car. This time, the young men were envious again. Not only was she a temptress, but also a rich woman?

Become his apprentice!

They must become his apprentice.

In the car, Su Qing took out a small white bag and handed it to Jiang Fan.

"I know a doctor. I went to him and got some medicine for you. He's very skilled. He's a foreigner who learned Chinese medicine and is the director of the city hospital."

A foreigner learning Chinese medicine? And a director? Jiang Fan asked in a puzzled whisper,

"Is it Wang Nan?"

Su Qing suddenly braked and turned around, her eyes filled with a hint of fierceness.

"Do you know him? Jiang Fan, stay away from him. I don't want to argue with Tang Wan and then argue with another man over you."

Jiang Fan slapped his forehead. What a mess!
