Zhou Jingyun supported Jiang Tong and asked with concern, “Are you alright?”
Jiang Tong smiled at him and replied “I’m very well.”
Zhou Mingfei, who was watching from the side, was stunned. His brother could actually be so gentle?!
“You’re really acting out,” Zhou Jingyun tilted his head and whispered to Jiang Tong.
“What are you afraid of if I am not afraid? At worst, Shao Ying will just come and kill me.” Jiang Tong curled her lips into a smile.
Zhou Mingfei could not hear what the two of them were talking about. He only knew that his brother was talking to his new sister-in-law very gently. They looked very intimate, and both of them had smiles on their faces. There was still the smell of cigarettes in the room. Zhou Mingfei’s gaze swept over Jiang Tong’s flat stomach. He suddenly thought of something and quickly got up to open the window to ventilate the room. When he returned to the side of the coffee table, he took the ashtray to the side and thought for a while. In the end, he simply threw the ashtray into the trash can.
“You don’t have to busy yourself with all that. Come and sit down.” Zhou Jingyun helped Jiang Tong to sit down.
“Brother, sister-in-law, she…” Zhou Mingfei raised his hand and wanted to point but did not dare to. However, Zhou Jingyun could tell that Zhou Mingfei was talking about Jiang Tong’s stomach.
“It’s fine. Your sister-in-law is just a little uncomfortable,” Zhou Jingyun said vaguely, with a hint of denial. This was because the more he denied it, the more it would cause Zhou Mingfei to misunderstand.
As expected, Zhou Mingfei instantly widened his eyes. So this woman was really pregnant?! Was his brother for real this time? Thinking of this, the way Zhou Mingfei looked at Jiang Tong became very scrutinizing and he gradually had an unfriendly look on his face. This was because he really did not see anything special about Jiang Tong, other than the fact that she was very good-looking.
Jiang Tong looked very young. After she sat down, she looked sluggish and seemed like she did not care about anyone. In Zhou Mingfei’s eyes, these actions were just insensible! A man could find a beautiful woman to play with, but a woman who wanted to marry him had to be sensible and not cause trouble. However, Jiang Tong was obviously someone who could cause trouble.
Zhou Mingfei knew Zhou Jingyun very well. Zhou Jingyun hoped to find a gentle woman. He did not need his woman to be very capable, as long as she was obedient and sensible. However, Jiang Tong wasn’t even close to meeting these requirements!
Therefore, Zhou Mingfei could not understand why his brother would like this woman! Was it because she was good-looking?! or… Zhou Mingfei’s gaze fell on Jiang Tong’s stomach. Did this woman rely on her pregnancy to get to the top?
The more Zhou Mingfei thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. This woman was very scheming. She wanted to force his brother to marry her just because she was pregnant with his child! Zhou Mingfei had to think of a way to deal with this woman and save his brother from danger!
“Mingfei, what are you looking at?” Zhou Jingyun waved his hand in front of Zhou Mingfei’s eyes. Zhou Mingfei had been staring at Jiang Tong for quite a while. If it were anyone else, they would have been restless, but Jiang Tong did not seem to feel anything.
“Ah, nothing. I’m just looking at sister-in-law.” Zhou Mingfei pretended to smile and then asked very naturally, “Sister-in-law looks quite young?”
“Twenty-two years old.” Jiang Tong played with her nails in boredom.
“Only twenty-two years old? You just graduated from university, right?” Zhou Mingfei asked, “When did you and my brother get together?”
“Three months ago, when your brother brought people to my school to recruit interns,” Jiang Tong answered smoothly.
Zhou Jingyun glanced at Jiang Tong. He did go to the University of Z City three months ago, but he had never told Jiang Tong about this.
“You’ve only known each other for three months?” Zhou Mingfei smiled and looked at Zhou Jingyun. “It hasn’t been that long. Why are you talking about marriage already? Didn’t you say that you would never consider marriage in this lifetime?”
“I’m not here to chitchat with you.” Zhou Jingyun’s face was stern.
“I just wanted to have a casual chat.” Zhou Mingfei was determined to get to the bottom of it today. Even if his brother wanted to settle the score with him later, he would be fine with it. Today, he had to expose the true nature of this scheming woman! As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Tong. He said, “Oh right, Sister-in-law, Guan Sandao and the others seemed to have some misunderstanding with you yesterday. I apologize to them on your behalf.”
“It’s okay. We’re all family.” Jiang Tong waved her hand.
“You are indeed magnanimous, Sister-in-law. Oh right, Guan Sandao and the others said that you were with a gigolo in the bar yesterday. Who was that man? Is he your older brother or your younger brother?” Zhou Mingfei asked as he tried to imply something.
“Gigolo?” Zhou Jingyun reacted quickly and quickly looked at Jiang Tong. In fact, he knew nothing about what happened yesterday. He didn’t care about what happened yesterday, nor did he care about Jiang Tong’s relationship with other men, because their relationship was fake! However, he had to pretend that he cared about it in front of Zhou Mingfei.
