"Brother, will you help me?"
The moment Jiang Mingxi said those words to him, Song Lan pictured a ragged little boy in his mind.
Squatting on the ground.
Look up at him.
His dark eyes held a pleading light.
It's so touching that you can't bear to refuse it.
That's strange.
How could this even be in my head?
But when I tried to think about it more carefully, I couldn't find anything.
Song Lan was momentarily stunned. By the time he came to his senses, Jiang Mingxi was already staggering towards the bathroom.
Song Lan quickly got up to help Jiang Mingxi.
By the time he strode over, Jiang Mingxi was already standing in front of the toilet, looking down...
Song Lan's eyelids twitched immediately, and she turned her head away abruptly, hurriedly closing the bathroom door.
The door was closed, but the soundproofing wasn't very good.
He could hear the sound of water inside very clearly, and after the water, he could also hear the rustling of clothes very clearly.
Song Lan felt a chill run down her spine.
Following--
It was the sound of a showerhead pouring water down.
The rustling sound just now—wasn't it someone putting their pants on, or taking them off?
Song Lan and Jiang Mingxi took a shower together the night before their argument at Jiang Mingxi's house.
The sweltering heat from the bathroom, combined with the sound of the showerhead, relentlessly assaulted Song Lan Song Lan. Only one thought filled her mind—
sky!
You shouldn't take a shower after drinking alcohol!
Ignoring everything else, Song Lan pushed open the bathroom door.
Jiang Mingxi had just stood under the showerhead, her hair already wet, when Song Lan rushed in from outside, his face grave.
Before he could even react to what Song Lan was about to do, Song Lan simply picked him up and carried him to the bed in a gust of wind.
Jiang Mingxi:...
Does this mean it has to change from a dot to an o?
Alcohol is so powerful!
Song Lan carried Jiang Mingxi out of the bathroom, put him directly on the bed, pulled the blanket next to him to cover him completely, then went back to the bathroom to get a towel and came back to dry Jiang Mingxi's wet hair, saying sternly, "You can't take a shower after drinking, it's dangerous, you know that!"
Jiang Mingxi:...
Huh?
Buzz~
Song Lan had just finished speaking when his phone vibrated.
It was an unfamiliar number calling, and normally Song Lan would never answer it.
But tonight, when Jiang Mingxi was dealing with Ji Hanyu, the phone call she received might be related to these things. Song Lan answered the call while drying Jiang Mingxi's hair.
" Song Lan? I'm Xu Zhiqiang from Star Moon Media."
After the other party introduced themselves, Song Lan and Jiang Mingxi exchanged a glance and immediately pressed the speakerphone button. " Boss Xu, is there something you need?"
Xu Zhiqiang is the CEO of the company where Ji Hanyu works.
He chuckled. "Naturally, it's about Ji Hanyu. I'm just sorry to bother you, Teacher Song."
Jiang Mingxi was carried naked out of the shower by Song Lan, then stuffed naked into the blanket, and then told naked that one shouldn't drink alcohol or take a bath, as he was already half sober.
Upon hearing this, her mind cleared up a bit, and she crawled out of bed slightly, her eyes fixed on Song Lan's phone.
Song Lan's voice was cold and detached, "There's no room for discussion."
Xu Zhiqiang smiled and said, " Teacher Song, don't be in such a hurry to refuse. Let me hear what I have to say first."
Song Lan remained silent.
Tonight, they let Ji Hanyu smear Jiang Mingxi online for four hours before calling the police. After the police were called, Ji Hanyu was arrested. Jiang Mingxi only posted on Weibo to express her attitude, but did not release any solid evidence. She also informed the police in advance not to issue an announcement, all for the sake of Jiang Mingxi's words.
He wants to go fishing.
Zhang Lin said that Jiang Mingxi is not a child of the Jiang Family.
The Jiang Family Jiang Family was willing to go to such lengths to threaten Jiang Mingle after his arrest; now that he's been framed like this, won't they pull some kind of stunt?
Don't you want to take advantage of the opportunity he's being attacked to stir things up?
And there's Su Hui.
Su Hui risked his life to run over Jiang Mingxi; now that he's been arrested, will his family take any action?
Song Lan didn't speak, and there was a moment of silence on the phone. Then, the other end couldn't hold back any longer, "As far as I know, Teacher Song's mother was in a car accident on the highway when she was hit by a truck."
"Your mother died on the spot, but the truck driver fled the scene and has never been caught?"
Song Lan never expected that a matter concerning Jiang Mingxi would involve his mother.
This old story was brought up twice today.
One time, he was at the beach, confiding in Jiang Mingxi.
I heard about it from someone else here once.
Song Lan frowned.
Jiang Mingxi immediately sat up and hugged Song Lan, " Teacher Song..."
At the time, Song Lan was pushed out of the car by his mother and fell under the car wheels on the highway. In the moment when he was almost hit and killed, he witnessed the car his mother was in being hit by a truck.
Jiang Mingxi had never experienced such a shock, but she could imagine Song Lan's fear at the time.
She instinctively hugged Song Lan, trying to stop him from listening.
Song Lan turned his head and saw Jiang Mingxi sitting there naked, hugging him. His eyelids twitched, and he quickly grabbed the blanket and wrapped it around him.
On their end, one was busy hugging the person, and the other was busy wrapping the person in a blanket; neither of them paid any attention to the person on the phone.
The person on the phone threw out bait but waited for no fish to bite. Unable to contain himself, Jiang Ke's voice rang out, " Song Lan, are you still protecting Jiang Mingxi? He's directly connected to the person who killed your mother!"
Jiang Ke's voice was filled with malice.
Jiang Mingxi, who was worried about Song Lan just a moment ago, suddenly looked at her phone.
Song Lan froze as she wrapped Jiang Mingxi in the blanket, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes.
"Hahaha, you don't know yet, do you? The person who ran over your mother and brother fled the scene. I found the eyewitness at the time. When he fled, he got into a car, and Jiang Mingxi was in that car."
"You're protecting Jiang Mingxi?"
Aren't you afraid your mother's spirit in heaven will curse you as an unfilial son?
" Jiang Mingxi killed your mother and your brother, and now you're protecting this murderer?"
Jiang Ke's words were full of malice.
Song Lan wrapped Jiang Mingxi in the blanket, her face cold as she looked at her phone. " Jiang Ke, you need evidence to back up your claims."
Jiang Ke sneered, "Without evidence, I wouldn't have come to see Young Master Song. How about we make a deal? I'll tell you the information about the driver who caused the accident, and in exchange, you release Jiang Mingle."
"This condition isn't too difficult, is it?"
"After all, Jiang Mingxi is also the murderer who killed your mother, so you won't forgive him, right?"
Song Lan noticed that Jiang Mingxi's eyes were fixed on her phone.
He kissed Jiang Mingxi on the cheek first, then turned to Jiang Ke and said, "Isn't Jiang Mingxi your brother? I've seen the DNA test report. It clearly states that Jiang Mingxi is a member of your Jiang Family. If he's the murderer who killed my mother, how clean is your Jiang Family?"
After being kissed by Song Lan, Jiang Mingxi turned to look at Song Lan.
Song Lan took his hand.
On the phone, Jiang Ke's gloomy voice came through, "He's not our child. We don't have such a vicious bastard in our family."
"Then whose child is he?" Song Lan asked directly.
