Chapter 486: Officially Starting to Date

~7 min read 1,392 words

"Someone jumped! Someone jumped!"

Jiang Siyu had just sat down when she heard someone shouting loudly outside the restaurant, and then the people in the private room surged out quickly.

"To have someone jump on such a joyous day, it's truly bad luck!"

"Indeed! Let's hurry out and see if the person is dead!"

Jiang Siyu and her friends were, after all, still young girls; encountering such a thing for the first time, they were all a bit scared and didn't dare to go out.

Jiang Yue gripped Jiang Siyu's hand tightly, "Don't be afraid, let's just take a look from far away outside."

By this time, the restaurant's corridor was already packed with people watching the spectacle.

When Jiang Siyu and her friends reached the first floor, the public security officers had already arrived.

They had cordoned off the scene and were investigating the cause and sequence of events.

Mother Li's expression was unsightly as she accepted questioning alongside her son and daughter-in-law.

"We don't know anything. As a brother, how could he cause such trouble on his sister's wedding day! Our family is truly so unfortunate."

It was ridiculous; not only did it affect her son's wedding, but it also affected the reputation of her restaurant. Who would dare come to their restaurant to eat for their wedding in the future?

At this moment, what Mother Li was thinking of was a term her mother-in-law used to scold her with.

A jinx.

This Liang Yu is truly a jinx.

Not only did she jinx the restaurant's business the moment she entered, but she also jinxed her own biological brother to death.

That's right, Shen Chi was dead.

Hearing it was a homicide, the public security officers had brought a forensic doctor directly with them.

Logically, a person might not necessarily die from a three-story fall, but when Shen Chi jumped, he went head-first, which showed he held a firm resolve to die.

Li Mu was also terrified.

From childhood to adulthood, he had been well-protected by his mother and had rarely witnessed the dark side of society.

He hadn't expected the dark side to slap him in the face at his own wedding.

After learning that Shen Chi had died on the spot, he was so frightened that he lost his composure, answering whatever the public security officers asked him.

"Yes, my mother said it was time for Xiao Yu to change into her toasting dress, so I went to find Xiao Yu. Just as I got to the third floor, I saw Shen... Shen Chi jump down..."

The public security officer wrote a few notes in his notebook, looked up, and asked, "Did you hear him say anything at the time? Or did he do anything else unusual?"

"I think I only heard the word 'happiness'."

Now the pressure was on Liang Yu.

Given that she was the only person who had contact with Shen Chi before he died, the police took her directly back to the station to take a detailed statement.

Liang Yu seemed terrified, weeping in a low voice the entire time.

"Don't be afraid, I'll go with you."

Liang Yu's fragile tears completely ignited Li Mu's protective instinct, and he accompanied Liang Yu into the police station.

Mother Li:...

And so, this marriage ended hastily with both the bride and groom entering the public security bureau.

Although the Li family had set up the banquet, except for some close relatives, everyone else left early, finding it unlucky.

Jiang Siyu and her friends ate a little and returned to school. While passing the playground, because she was in such a rush, Jiang Siyu bumped into a boy.

"It's you?"

"It's you?"

They both spoke in unison.

Jiang Siyu hadn't expected that this Fu Yang would actually be attending the same high school as her.

"That's great, we really did end up in the same school."

Fu Yang was very excited; he looked at Jiang Siyu, full of joy, "I'm in Class 4, what about you?"

"Class 3."

"Then I'll come find you to hang out later."

Seeing the gossiping expressions on the faces of the female classmates beside her, Jiang Siyu gave a perfunctory response and pulled Jiang Yue back to their classroom.

From this day on, Fu Yang would come to find her whenever he was free, sometimes bringing her little snacks.

The appearance of this guy soon caught the attention of Jiang Sinian.

He would not let off any punk who had designs on his little sister.

Just as Jiang Sinian was full of ambition and wanting to take action, he was lectured by his own mother.

"Just worry about yourself; I'm watching over your little sister."

Although Si Rong was nearing forty, her eldest son had inherited his father's height and was already 1.8 meters tall just after entering high school.

To have any authority when lecturing her son, she had to stand on the sofa.

Jiang Cheng stood by, protecting her with his strong arms, while simultaneously scolding his son, "Your mother is right. Also, from now on, when you are in front of your mother, crouch down while being lectured."

His wife was always standing so high; he didn't want her to fall.

Jiang Sinian:...

He rolled his eyes in secret. Hmph! He only knows how to please his wife, listening to his wife for everything every day—no backbone!

He definitely wouldn't be like that in the future.

"Alright, get up. Invite Yueyue to the house for lunch at noon," Si Rong added, "When you go to Jiang Yue's house, show some initiative; don't just stand there like a fool."

Jiang Sinian's ear tips turned red, "Oh."

After he arrived at Jiang Yue's house, he started working, moving the table from the courtyard into the house, looking for work to do everywhere.

Fang Ting was very satisfied with this son-in-law, but, "Sinian, this table is one that Auntie just moved outside."

Jiang Sinian:...

"Oh, then, then I'll move out right now."

Jiang Yue couldn't help but laugh out loud behind him.

Once Fang Ting returned to her room, she beckoned to Jiang Sinian with her finger; at that moment, Jiang Sinian immediately forgot about his internal grumbling regarding his father's lack of ambition in his own home, and he trotted over eagerly.

"What... is it?"

Jiang Yue stood on her tiptoes, took out a scented tissue, and gently wiped his forehead and the tip of his nose, "There, all done."

The two of them were extremely close, so close that Jiang Sinian felt his heart skip a beat.

He didn't know why he was so excited.

Smack.

Jiang Yue gave him a quick kiss on the cheek, "A reward for you."

Jiang Sinian loved this reward far too much; the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl upward.

"Can I get a reward if I do more work?"

Jiang Sinian now felt full of boundless energy; he completely forgot his own mother's instructions and hurriedly asked Fang Ting again, "Auntie Ting, what other chores are there at home?"

After working hard all morning, he finally received another kiss from Fang Ting as a reward.

Unfortunately, this scene was just seen by Si Rong, who had come to call them for lunch.

Jiang Yue was instantly so embarrassed she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"You two continue," Si Rong said with an open mind, covering her eyes with her hands, though her fingers were spread wide apart, "I didn't see anything."

She had originally thought this son of hers was useless, but thank goodness, thank goodness, at least she had secured a daughter-in-law.

Having been seen by a parent, their relationship could be considered out in the open.

Jiang Sinian and Jiang Yue officially began dating.

When Jiang Siyu heard this good news, she first shrieked, then grabbed Jiang Yue and began spinning her around.

She then patted her own chest and promised, "Yueyue, don't worry. Although I am this guy's sister by blood, we are much closer emotionally. If he ever dares to bully you in the future, rest assured, I will definitely uphold righteousness over family!"

Jiang Sinian:...

After learning that Jiang Sinian and Jiang Yue had become boyfriend and girlfriend, Shen Yuan didn't sleep a wink all night.
