Jiaojiao, You Don't Want To... [Yandere Reverse Harem Novel]

Chapter 30 (2/2)

“My sister is still at the Jiang family taking care of Jiang Yuancheng, she’s already been through enough.” He said. “You’re a smart guy, so I’ll just be blunt.” Jiang Linchen looked at Wen Sui, his tone calm, “You and Wen Zhijiao, you’re not biologically related, you’re adopted. The investigation results said that you were rumored to be Wen Zhijiao’s childhood husband, right?”

Wen Sui’s eyebrows twitched, “So what if I am?”

“Nothing, I’m pursuing her, naturally I’ll investigate things clearly.” Jiang Linchen revealed the matter, frankly stating, “You should want to be with her too, otherwise you wouldn’t be talking so much.”

The smile on Wen Sui’s face disappeared, his eyes narrowed. His eyes were a little droopy, and now that they were narrowed, they looked a little pitiful. “I angered her a few days ago, and now she’s ignoring me.”

Jiang Linchen shook his head and took a sip of coffee. Wen Sui’s eyes were filled with coldness, the hand that was on the contract curled up, “You don’t need to tell me this, and you don’t need to show off in front of me. My relationship with Jiaojiao is not something you can define.”

“No, no, no, I’m not showing off in front of you, I just want to ask you what to do.” Jiang Linchen raised his hand and called for the waiter, then ordered an espresso. He rubbed his temples, then looked at the meeting schedule on his phone, before saying to Wen Sui, “I’m short on time, the negotiation is simple. I’ll ask you some questions about her in the next ten minutes, to help me with my pursuit later. After ten minutes, I’ll increase the concession by three points from the original offer.”

Wen Sui smiled, “Why are you so confident that I’ll agree?”

“Because you have no reason not to agree. In your eyes, you should think that you and Jiaojiao are one. I can pursue her, and you can stop me, and you’re confident that you can do it, right?” Jiang Linchen took a pen out of his chest pocket, picked up the document on the table, and directly changed a few numbers, signed his name, “Right now, I’m completely dependent on you, so I’m being controlled by you. I advise you to stop while you’re ahead, because I have quite a lot of information here that shows you participated in fights and bullying in school.”

Jiang Linchen handed him the document, smiled at him, and nodded, “If Jiaojiao knew about the information about you driving away those pursuers, how heartbroken she would be, heartbroken that her brother’s character is so bad.”

Wen Sui’s pupils contracted, his eyebrows furrowed, revealing complete malice, “The Jiang family is really powerful.”

“No, no, no, I’m just more hardworking.” Jiang Linchen chuckled, “What do you think my professor status is for? Of course, it’s for teaching without discrimination.”

Wen Sui’s fingers twitched, he pulled at the corner of his mouth, signed his name, and the smiling, docile eyes had a hint of malice, “You won’t be able to chase her, she doesn’t like your type.” He smiled, “She likes good students, but she won’t like them to the point of being teachers, the age gap alone will make her think of old men.”

Jiang Linchen hissed, too lazy to deal with such low-level insults, he just said, “Tell me, if she’s angry…”

“She’s not angry.” Wen Sui seemed to be revealing his true nature, he leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and didn’t look at him directly, “She just simply likes to torment others, but she doesn’t realize she’s doing it.”

Seeing Wen Sui’s uncooperative attitude, Jiang Linchen was a little annoyed and directly said, "For example?"

“For example, she’ll let you realize that you seem a little different, but then she’ll tell you that it’s all in your head, that it’s a misunderstanding.” Wen Sui’s voice almost made Jiang Linchen immediately recall the scene on the cruise ship, the moment of intimacy and the misunderstanding that followed.

Jiang Linchen didn’t say anything, he heard Wen Sui say again, “For example, she’ll unintentionally make you angry, and when you’re angry, she’ll be even angrier.”

Jiang Linchen: "..." He seemed to be in this stage now.

Wen Sui smiled, enjoying Jiang Linchen’s unsightly expression, and continued, "She’ll also make you feel that you’re never the one she chooses. Of course, you might just simply not be her type."

Jiang Linchen paused for a few seconds, then smiled, "You’re so comprehensive in your summary, why are you still her brother now?"

“That’s right.” Wen Sui actually didn’t hide anything anymore, he just lowered his eyes, a big smile on his lips, “Because we’re family, so I’ll always be by her side. I have no need to change anything.”

He looked at Jiang Linchen with a hint of mockery in his eyes, and said, “You and Jiang Yuancheng will always be outsiders, you’ll be tormented by her into outsiders who are inexplicably crazy.”

You don’t look very normal. Jiang Linchen thought to himself, then said, “Just tell me three or four things about your sister’s likes and dislikes.”

Wen Sui said, "She likes sour fruits, she likes to read campus novels, she likes the male leads who are cold and poor and academic overachievers, because her first love was this type. As for dislikes, she really hates it when people quiz her, teach her things, and show off how smart they are."

Jiang Linchen felt like he was broken again for a moment, he glanced at his watch and said, "There are a few minutes left. Last question, it’s not related to her, do you think I look like Jiang Yuancheng?"

Wen Sui was a little stunned, but he saw Jiang Linchen take off his glasses, revealing his handsome and refined face. He scrutinized it for a few seconds and smiled, "There’s some resemblance, but not very much."

Jiang Linchen nodded and said, "That means one thing, he and I are two different people, I will only be better than him."

He stood up, finished the rest of his coffee in one gulp, and turned to leave. After a few steps, Jiang Linchen’s phone vibrated. He glanced at the message, smiled, turned to look at Wen Sui, "Unfortunately, the gift I prepared has arrived, I’m going to see her. Who’s the one who’s not being chosen now? Will it be you?"

He saw a strange coldness on Wen Sui’s face, his eyes were full of gloom, he almost looked like he was going to punch him. But in a flash, Wen Sui smiled, "Then I wish you success, then I’ll have two brothers-in-law."

Jiang Linchen shrugged. He probably hadn’t rested for too long, working around the clock, and her ignoring him, the endless coffee he drank made his mind close to being excited. This excitement made his eyelids twitch. As he walked out of the coffee shop, an assistant came over and handed him a jewelry box. He took the box and drove all the way to Wen Zhijiao’s apartment. He stood at the door, took a deep breath, and pressed Wen Zhijiao’s doorbell. After a while, she came down to open the door. This time she was wearing a dress, with a small red hair clip in her hair, as if she was ready to go out. When she saw it was him, she frowned, "What are you doing, I’m not ready to deal with you!"

Jiang Linchen handed her the jewelry box, "I’m here to apologize again, I hope you like this apology."

It had been a few days, Wen Zhijiao, who had sold a bunch of things on Xiaohongshu, was actually in a good mood. She smiled, opened the jewelry box, "Okay, since you came here in person, it means you’re very confident. Let me see…" Her voice stopped, because inside the jewelry box was a beautiful pair of moon earrings.

Jiang Linchen said, "I searched for a few days and found the original one. It’s been discontinued for many years, so I bought it at auction, I hope you like it."

Wen Zhijiao picked up the earrings and looked at them, they were indeed much more exquisite, and they were dotted with beautiful small diamonds. They were elegant and luxurious. She laughed, her eyes filled with innocence, "Now you’re really making me angry."

She put the earrings back in the jewelry box and threw it at Jiang Linchen’s face. Jiang Linchen widened his eyes in astonishment, his nose hurt from being hit, he caught the jewelry box. Wen Zhijiao looked at him, her breath was a little rapid, and her eyes had a kind of hurt in them. Her lips, painted with shiny pink lip gloss, opened and closed, but this time, Jiang Linchen couldn’t be distracted by her lips, he heard her say, "Did you come here specifically to tell me that the things I like are cheap imitations, and the things you give me are so precious?"

Jiang Linchen was stunned for a few seconds, unimaginable anger came like a wave, he realized that his eyelids were twitching even more violently. He heard his heart pounding in his ears, so much so that he was almost dizzy. He was about to speak, but he saw Wen Zhijiao struggling to support the door frame, she closed her eyes and was silent for a long time. After a few seconds, her shoulders trembled even more violently, her voice was soft, "Why do you have to be like this?"

At that moment, he almost forgot what he was thinking, he just felt absurd, he didn’t understand what he had done wrong. Wen Zhijiao opened her eyes, took a deep breath, and there was a brief silence in the air. She leaned closer, raised her hand and touched his nose. "Does it hurt?"

After a few more seconds, she asked. Jiang Linchen’s pupils trembled, but she leaned even closer, her tears rolled down one by one, her voice had a hint of fatigue, "Sorry. I didn’t mean to, I’m just very annoyed. That pair of earrings is a precious memory for me, it’s more important than the price."

Her hand rubbed his nose over and over, Jiang Linchen felt that his anger hadn’t had time to vent before it had already melted into his blood. Her tears flowed more and more, her eyebrows were filled with regret and sadness, as if she was the one who had been hit, she whispered, "Why do you and Jiang Yuancheng have to treat me like this, I just want the things I like, I really just… don’t want to be told that the things I like are so unworthy…"

The last words were as light as bubbles, breaking in the air. Jiang Linchen felt that one or two of her tears had fallen on the back of his hand, he finally raised his hand and held her shoulders, in the face of countless emotions. He finally said, "Sorry, I didn’t think of that, don’t be sad, I’m okay."

Wen Zhijiao shook her head, her fingers stroking his nose, "Does your nose hurt? Do you need medicine? I didn’t mean to hit your face, I just wanted to throw it to you…"

As she spoke, she leaned her face closer, carefully examining his injury, the faint scent of flowers and the warmth of her breath enveloped Jiang Linchen. He was still a little angry, but seeing this, that bit of anger turned into a smile. He couldn’t tell if it was because he had drunk too much coffee, or if he was really crazy, because he couldn’t help but keep saying, "I’m okay, it doesn’t hurt, I’m not angry. Don’t cry. Oh, it’s okay, it’s okay."

Wen Zhijiao listened for a long time, then she bit her lower lip and smiled, "Are you really okay?"

Jiang Linchen said, "Really okay." His hand rubbed her face, it was soft, white, warm, and a little wet. Jiang Linchen’s Adam’s apple bobbed, he whispered, "Then later, will you go out to eat with me? As… your apology?"

Wen Zhijiao also smiled, she whispered, "I can’t, I promised Pei Ye, he said he had something urgent to see me."

Jiang Linchen was stunned, "What?"

Wen Zhijiao said, "Then I’ll go out, you go back to work."

Jiang Linchen grabbed her wrist, "You…"

Wen Zhijiao looked at him in confusion for a few seconds, then she nodded knowingly, patted his shoulder, "It’s okay, we’ll make a date later, and…"

Her hand went from his shoulder to his cheek, then pressed on his nose, and she smiled, "You have eye marks on your nose, how many years have you been wearing glasses? It’s pretty cute."

Jiang Linchen thought for a moment, but he saw her turn and leave.

Jiang Linchen: "..." He touched his nose, then looked at the jewelry box, only one sentence remained in his mind: "She’ll also make you feel that you’re never the one she chooses."

Jiang Linchen threw the box on the ground, took a deep breath, and turned to get in the car. What the hell, his anger now was all directed at Pei Ye. A black car sped off, then stopped in front of a beautiful garden. A figure got out of the car, Wen Zhijiao looked up, but saw a young man with black hair and black eyes. He was wearing a suit, and the string of sparkling earrings on his ear had been taken off. Now as he walked over, he looked quite elegant and handsome. But his expression wasn’t very good, he looked tired and gloomy, and when he walked in front of her, he smiled reluctantly.

Wen Zhijiao said, "You’ve changed your style!"

Pei Ye pursed his lips, for a moment he didn’t know what to say. After a few seconds, he said, "Jiaojiao, there’s something I want to ask you."

Wen Zhijiao was confused, "What?"

Pei Ye leaned down, his eyes fixed on her, he was silent for a long time.
