Is It the Food Chain?

The car stopped in the underground garage. Jiang Fan carried Tang Wan, who had already fallen asleep, upstairs and placed her by the bed. He prepared some water and didn't rush to rest. Sitting by the bed, he looked at Tang Wan sleeping soundly and curiously pried open her mouth.

What kind of teeth are these?

Thinking of the scene where Tang Wan rejected Lin Xuan, Jiang Fan couldn't help but smile. He stood up, picked up the clothes he just took off Tang Wan, and went to the bathroom. When Jiang Fan closed the door, Tang Wan, wrapped in the quilt, giggled. She was only wearing two undergarments, but within two seconds, there was only one left.

In the bathroom, Jiang Fan took a cold shower. The piercing coldness also calmed him down. He put the clothes that needed to be washed into the washing machine, wore a pair of shorts, walked to the window in the living room, opened the window, and lit a cigarette.

It was raining heavily, accompanied by lightning and thunder. Fortunately, Tang Wan was not afraid of this stuff. She couldn't hear anything even if drums were beaten and gongs were sounded when she was asleep.

The rainy day calmed Jiang Fan's restless heart that refused to behave. Nicotine entering his body made him even more sober.

What was Qian Ling's purpose today?

This question kept echoing in Jiang Fan's mind. She had investigated his background in advance, including the incident where he was about to go to jail, but she didn't find out what Jiang Fan used the money for, nor did she find out the reason for marrying Tang Wan.

A warning?

Could it be that his recent actions had caused dissatisfaction among the board of directors? The probability of Gao Lvxing going to Liu Shengge to complain was higher than 60%. Or it wasn't complaining; it was to make him noticed by others. Jiang Fan suddenly remembered Tu Xiao's words. Liu Shengge was a mysterious guy. He couldn't be a real man, so he had to find other ways to vent.

From what he knew now, Jiang Fan roughly understood.

This guy liked to play God.

Did Gao Lvxing want to use Liu Shengge's hand to eliminate himself from Glory?

But what did this have to do with Qian Ling?

Su Qing and Gao Lvxing were both Liu Shengge's people. Could it be?

Jiang Fan didn't dare to think further. No matter how smart his brain was or how skillful his means were, those things were not what he could participate in. Perhaps even Gao Lvxing and Su Qing could only be used as pawns that could be sacrificed at any time.

The same earth, different worlds.

Standing on a peak could allow one's gaze to see farther, but this peak needed money to accumulate.

Jiang Fan returned to the tea table and pinched out the cigarette butt. At this time, Tang Wan came downstairs, wearing pajamas, and looked at Jiang Fan with her head tilted.

"Something bothering you?"

Jiang Fan smiled and nodded. He had no reason to hide anything from Tang Wan. Tang Wan turned around and went back upstairs. She took a set of pajamas from Jiang Fan's room and handed them to him. Jiang Fan put on the pajamas and said softly,

"Hungry? Want to eat something?"

Wei Nuan touched her flat stomach.

"I want to eat noodles. Don't we have any at home?"

"It seems like there's some flour. Anyway, I can't sleep. Wait here for a moment."

"I want to watch you cook. Do you know you're particularly charming when you cook?"

"Is it charming to your stomach?"

Jiang Fan smiled and walked into the kitchen. He didn't often make noodles, but he could make hand-sliced noodles... This was relatively simple. Since there was no noodle machine at home, he made this. Soon, Jiang Fan made two bowls of hand-sliced beef noodles...

And also fried some skewers.

Jiang Fan added some vinegar to the noodles, and Tang Wan saw this and took the vinegar bottle. Tang Wan took a sip of the sour noodle soup and instantly felt warm in her chest and stomach. She was really hungry. Soon, a bowl of noodles was finished, and she lay half on the sofa, wishing to be a couch potato!

Then she opened the TV and paid to watch a Japanese anime called "Dry Sister Umaru". She watched as Umaru, who was a good, cold, and beautiful goddess at school, would turn into a Q-version doll when she returned home, lying in a room full of snacks, reading manga, and drinking cola.

After watching for a while, just as Jiang Fan finished washing the dishes, Tang Wan suddenly said,

"I envy Umaru for having a brother. He treats her so well. Fan! I want to drink cola!"

There was basically no difference between Tang Wan and Umaru, except that one was working and the other was studying, one was a brother, and the other was an ex-husband. Jiang Fan smiled and said,

"There's none at home. Let me see if there's any yogurt."

When Jiang Fan opened the refrigerator, he was surprised. Both layers were filled with drinks of various kinds. He remembered the night when he and Tang Wan went to buy ice cream and smiled as he took out two bottles of cola and placed them on the tea table, then lifted Tang Wan's legs and sat down.

Tang Wan turned around, placed her legs on Jiang Fan's legs, and took a sip of cola while lying half on her back. Her white little feet were pounding on Jiang Fan's legs.

"Jiang Fan, what trouble have you encountered? Tell your sister."

Jiang Fan told Tang Wan what happened today. When mentioning Su Qing, Tang Wan snorted and lightly kicked Jiang Fan's shoulder, then continued watching the anime. After about ten minutes, Tang Wan finally spoke.

"It's actually very simple. Liu Shengge knows you exist. If he's interested in you, he'll surely try to play a game with you. This guy is really what you said. Of course, I've only heard of it. Liu Shengge is taking action against you, and Qian Ling wants to bring you over. Although this woman doesn't have much shares in Glory now, no one can be sure about the future. What she mainly wants to bring over should not be you but Su Qing. Whether Su Qing is worth bringing over depends on how many chips she has. Coincidentally! The biggest chip Su Qing has now is you. It's actually not a big deal."

Hmm?

Jiang Fan didn't quite understand. According to Tang Wan, this matter was so simple, but why couldn't he think of it? Tang Wan looked at Jiang Fan's expression and knew what he was thinking. She pouted and said,

"You've just been in this circle for a few days. If it's the food chain, you're still at the bottom, eating grass, while your sister has reached the status of a predator. It's normal that you can't think of these things. You really have to learn from Old Tang about this."

Jiang Fan nodded slightly. Tang Wan got up from the sofa, turned off the TV, and shouted that she was going upstairs to sleep. When Jiang Fan turned off the lights and went upstairs, he found that Tang Wan was already lying in his room. Jiang Fan stood at the door, feeling helpless, and said,

"Your period should be over, right? You're still sleeping here. Don't you fear that I'll become beastly at night?"

"Pfft!"

Tang Wan was really not afraid. After three years of living together, she had known Jiang Fan very well. Tang Wan wrapped herself in the quilt, sat up, and grinned at Jiang Fan.

"Jiang Fan, I'm not wearing anything, you know? If you don't believe it, take a look."

Then he turned on the TV and paid for an episode of the Japanese anime "Dry Sister! Umaru-chan". Watching it, he saw that inside, Umaru was a good student, aloof, and beautiful goddess at school, but when she got home, she would turn into a Q-version doll, lying in a room filled with snacks, reading manga, and drinking cola.

After watching for a while, Jiang Fan had just finished washing the dishes when Tang Wan suddenly said,

"I envy Umaru for having a brother. He treats her so well! Fan, I want to drink cola!"

Tang Wan and Umaru were basically the same, except one was working and the other was studying, one had a brother, and the other had an ex-husband, Jiang Fan chuckled.

"There's none at home. Let me see if there's any yogurt."

The moment Jiang Fan opened the refrigerator, he was startled. Both layers were filled with drinks of all kinds. He recalled the night he went to buy ice cream with Tang Wan, smiled, took out two bottles of cola and placed them on the coffee table, then lifted Tang Wan's legs and sat down.

Tang Wan turned over, placed her legs on Jiang Fan's legs, leaned back slightly, and took a small sip of cola. Her small, white feet pounded on Jiang Fan's legs.

"Jiang Fan, what trouble have you encountered? Tell your sister."

Jiang Fan recounted the events of the day to Tang Wan. When he mentioned Su Qing, Tang Wan hummed and lightly kicked Jiang Fan's shoulder, then continued watching the anime. After about ten minutes, Tang Wan spoke up.

"It's actually very simple. Liu Shengge knows of your existence. If he's interested in you, he'll definitely try to play a game with you. This guy is exactly as you described. Of course, I've only heard of it. Liu Shengge is targeting you, and Qian Ling wants to bring you over to her side. Although this woman doesn't have much stake in Glory now, no one can predict the future. Her main target should not be you, but Su Qing. Whether Su Qing is worth recruiting depends on how much leverage she has. Coincidentally, you are Su Qing's biggest leverage now. It's not a big deal."

Huh?

Jiang Fan didn't quite understand. According to Tang Wan, this matter was so simple, but why couldn't he think of it? Tang Wan looked at Jiang Fan's expression and knew what he was thinking. She said with a pout,

"You've only been in this circle for a few days. If it's a food chain, you're still at the bottom, eating grass, while your sister is already at the predator level. It's normal that you can't think of these things. You really have to learn from Old Tang."

Jiang Fan nodded slightly. Tang Wan got up from the sofa, turned off the TV, and shouted that she was going upstairs to sleep. When Jiang Fan turned off the lights and went upstairs, he found Tang Wan already lying in his room. Jiang Fan stood at the door, feeling helpless.

"Your period should be over, right? Why are you still sleeping here? Don't you fear that I'll become beastly tonight?"

"Pfft!"

Tang Wan was really not afraid. After three years of living together, she had known Jiang Fan thoroughly. Tang Wan sat up, wrapped in the blanket, and grinned at Jiang Fan.

"Jiang Fan, I'm not wearing anything, you don't believe me? Look."

Tang Wan suddenly lifted the blanket. Jiang Fan looked at her as if she was crazy, sighed, put on his slippers, got on the bed, got into the quilt, and said with disdain,

"I know you just like a farmer knows manure."

"Oh! If you can sleep tonight, Jiang Fan, it's my fault, Tang Wan is guilty. Here comes the 18 Dragon Subduing Palms! Watch out."

Before Tang Wan could make a move, Jiang Fan suddenly turned around, quickly rolled Tang Wan up in the blanket, then carried her over his shoulder and sent her back to her own room, saying as he walked,

"A runner who takes a minute to run 100 meters, you should subdue insects instead."

Tang Wan leaned on Jiang Fan's shoulder and whispered,

"I'll subdue you instead."

Result.

When Jiang Fan got up to drink water in the middle of the night, he found a pair of big eyes staring at him. Jiang Fan was scared and hugged the quilt, shrinking into the corner, angrily saying,

"Tang Wan, you're sick."

"I said, I'll feel guilty if you sleep tonight. You said I'm manure! Jiang Fan, prepare to die."

I really don't know where Tang Wan got so much energy to play around. Jiang Fan didn't sleep well that night. When he opened his eyes in the morning and saw that it was still raining outside, Jiang Fan lay down directly, turned around, hugged Tang Wan who was sleeping beside him, and thought he needed to get some "interest" back.

I'll go after I wake up!
