Part 4
He smiled, and it seemed that he genuinely regarded Liang Yi as family.
Tang Yue of Planet 9787 was used to being alone, and family seemed distant.
Away was his first family in this world, and the second was the small house he lived in with Tang Mian.
And the occasional visiting sister.
A strange title, but five years was enough to get used to it.
Liang Yi: “Not to that extent, I also need to play with men.”
Tang Yue: …
Liang Yi: “The next trip will be postponed for five days. I need you to attend a banquet with me.”
Liang Yi had mentioned it in a text message last time. Tang Yue nodded and asked, “Why me? Shouldn’t you take your brother-in-law?”
Perhaps it was the first time she had heard the words “brother-in-law,” Liang Yi was also stunned.
They were both illegitimate children and had been distant from their relatives since they were young.
They didn’t look alike either, and the brother-sister feeling they had when they were together was all due to Tang Yue’s temperament.
The word “brother-in-law” was like a bridge that formed a family.
Tang Yue: “Aren’t you married?”
Liang Yi: “Yes, it’s just very new.”
She smiled. “He’s going too, but I really don’t have anyone else. You’re my brother, so it’s fine for us to attend together.”
Tang Yue: “Then why is the show being postponed?”
Liang Yi: “Because Jiang Shulu is also attending, and Liu Xichao is also half a member of the Jiang family, so wouldn’t that leave only Yao Lixin?”
Tang Yue thought about that scene and suddenly felt that if Yao Lixin found out, he would definitely curse loudly.
Tang Yue: “Is it Shulu-ge’s grandfather’s birthday banquet?”
Liang Yi nodded. “You go with me, he’ll go by himself.”
For some reason, Liang Yi smiled. “He’ll be busy.”
Tang Yue: “What’s the point of me going?”
He had a faint feeling that Liang Yi and Jiang Shulu had already met, and he asked again, “Have you talked to Shulu-ge and Boss Jiang?”
Liang Yi nodded. “I have, but I didn’t tell Jiang Shulu that you’ll be there too.”
She paused. “I’m just giving you a heads-up.”
The woman now did not have the cold and glamorous air she had at work. She even looked a little gentle when she smiled.
But Liang Yi’s bones were too hard, filled with the ambition to short-sell her biological father’s entire family, and now she wanted even more.
Liang Yi: “You have to be prepared for Jiang Shulu to have nothing.”
But the young man beside her didn’t seem surprised. He just nodded. “I was already planning to make a comeback after the variety show.”
Tang Yue was occasionally timid and had a sense of fear that Liang Yi could never figure out.
It was as if he knew what was going to happen in his life, which was why he was hiding.
But now he was going all out, no longer wanting to be devoured by his own preconceived terrifying future, with a kind of freedom that had completely broken out of confinement.
Tang Yue: “If Shulu-ge has nothing, can I still sign with Mr. Jiang He’s company?”
Liang Yi: “You don’t have to worry about that, they’ve already agreed.”
Tang Yue let out an “oh.” “Then the songs I’ve written in the past five years can also be released.”
He even smiled.
Liang Yi still couldn’t help but ask him, “Aren’t you surprised? Why am I doing this, why is Jiang Shulu doing this?”
Tang Yue: “I don’t really understand.”
He said this with a sincerity that made people dizzy, then picked up his cup and took a sip of tea.
The air was cold. Tang Yue took a deep breath. “But I trust you guys.”
The young man always gave people the feeling of being as clear as a gem, just like his eyes.
Every time Liang Yi looked at Tang Yue’s information before the age of seventeen, she felt that the person on it was a little different from the Tang Yue she had met.
Those eyes were ambitious, as if he was the brother who was related to her by blood.
The Tang Yue in front of her was too otherworldly, a bit like a gentle spring, silently winding its way into the mountains and rivers.
And yet he seemed unfathomable.
Tang Yue: “I have secrets too, just a little more than Shulu-ge’s secrets. I have to tell him slowly.”
“Besides, I liked him the first time I saw him, so how could I doubt his motives?”
After saying that, Tang Yue was a little embarrassed again.
He glanced at Liang Yi and called out “sister” in a small voice. “Then if Shulu-ge doesn’t even have a house, can my savings support him and Xiao Mie?”
Tang Yue’s money was all managed by someone Liang Yi had specially found, and he basically never asked about it.
Liang Yi didn’t refill his cup, but took it away, as if she was rushing him to leave.
Liang Yi: “Can’t you be a little more ambitious? If he leaves the Jiang family, can’t you just let him marry into our family?”
The alien didn’t quite understand this theory of a son-in-law who lives with his wife’s family and let out a confused “ah.”
Liang Yi sneered. “You can ask him when the time comes.”
That’s what she said, but Liang Yi felt that Jiang Shulu would probably not agree.
Just a casual chat just now, and the confidence the man exuded was simply astonishing to Liang Yi.
It was as if he had been planning for many years, all for this day.
And Tang Yue was his biggest reason for moving towards the future.
Tang Yue let out an “oh,” and after a while, he realized what that meant.
He looked at Liang Yi with a bit of embarrassment again. “That’s not good, is it?”
Liang Yi: “What’s not good about it? He got you pregnant and we haven’t even settled the score yet. What’s wrong with him working for me for a few years?”
Tang Yue retorted in a small voice, “I forced him.”
Liang Yi: “Do you think I’ll believe you?”
Tang Yue pursed his lips. “I’m more responsible. If I hadn’t drunk carelessly back then, it would have been fine.”
He sighed heavily again. “If it were me, and I knew that men couldn’t get pregnant, and then I suddenly got a man pregnant, I would have been scared to death.”
Liang Yi: “But he’s still responsible.”
Tang Yue: “He’s already taking responsibility. Shulu-ge isn’t being so nice to me just because he wants to take responsibility, right?”
A few seconds later, Tang Yue shook his head on his own. “Definitely not, he needs me that much.”
Tang Yue looked at Liang Yi again. “Yi-jie, do you think we should get a paternity test for Shulu-ge and Xiao Mie after this is all over?”
Liang Yi was speechless.
She felt that Tang Yue was very likely to be eaten alive by Jiang Shulu in the future, and would still praise him for being gentle, considerate, and amazing.
Suddenly she felt a little annoyed, feeling that Jiang Shulu was having it too easy.
Bonus Short: Compensation
Tang Yue had been refusing to go home with Tang Mian for three days.
Yao Lixin jokingly said that the Captain had fallen out of favor and was sleeping alone every night.
Jiang Shulu planned to go to Liu Xichao’s house to bring them back.
The father and son were happily petting the cats at Liu Xichao’s house, because Liu Xichao had five of them.
Jiang He was using a lint roller to remove the cat hair from his clothes and said to Jiang Shulu, “Hurry up and take your wife away.”
Although Xiao Mie was very cute, Jiang He was also very afraid of this child jumping on his bed early in the morning to wake him up.
He felt that Jiang Shulu was simply too tolerant.
A six-year-old child was not light, and a heavy jump would cause him internal injuries.
Liu Xichao even took the opportunity to tease Jiang He for being weak.
Jiang Shulu took his wife and child away.
In the car, he said, “If you like them, we can get some at home.”
Tang Yue: Yi-jie’s house has a lot of dogs, and Third Brother’s house has a lot of cats.
Xiao Mie: Daddy, do you want to raise a rabbit?
Tang Yue: I want to raise Xiao Mie.
Xiao Mie: Mie?
Jiang Shulu had never thought that a sheep would appear in his house.
Tang Yue and Tang Mian both liked it very much.
Group Chat (4)
Liu Xichao: Interview, how does it feel?
Yao Lixin: I saw the Captain’s movements of shoveling sheep poop pellets were so skilled that it was heartbreaking.
Jiang Shulu: It’s okay, there will be compensation at night.
Tang Yue: I’ll wash the sheep’s tail with Shulu-ge at night!
Tang Yue: Typo, it’s sheep smell.
Liu Xichao: You might as well not have explained.
Jiang Shulu: @Tang Yue Come take a bath.
