Jiang Mian had grown accustod to sighing, "My parents always sleep in when they go on trips, and it’s rare for them to catch a flight. It isn’t easy being a considerate daughter."
She made herself sound particularly aggrieved, putting herself in the position of disadvantage.
The comnts exploded with laughter. "LMAO, Jiang Mian is going to kill with laughter! She’s still looking for a way out."
"I’m literally crying here!"
"They’re hurting each other LOL."
She glanced up at Fu Sichen, who was clearly amused.
Still laughing!
That’s his in-laws we’re talking about.
Be careful or you might end up having clips shown to them; mocking your in-laws can get you in deep trouble.
"Jiang Mian, you’re running out of ti. Need to call anyone else?"
"I do!"
Of course!
Otherwise, the trending topic would be #JiangMianLacksParentalLove#.
Her parents love each other, and she even has a brother.
Her brother would definitely recognize her.
She quickly dialed Lin Chen’s number and he accepted the call right away.
Jiang Mian started, "Bro, it’s your sister."
The deep and crisp male voice answering her was pleasant, "Hmm."
Is that it?
Why was her brother being so cold today?
Just as Jiang Mian was about to speak, Lin Chen added from the other end, "Have you gotten yourself into trouble again? Need help?"
"..."
Jiang Mian forced a smile, "Why would that be, brother; just a greeting to my dear brother is expected, right?"
"Jiang Mian, short on cash?"
"Hahaha."
The people in the break room couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter again.
Lin Chen paused for two seconds, realized what the situation was, and had his assistant fetch a tablet to start a live broadcast.
Watching the live stream on the tablet, he smirked sowhat gleefully, "Finally sent for a transformation, huh? Good."
Brother!
So undermining! Might as well have been a scam call.
Jiang Mian gritted her teeth, "Bro, you must be busy, I won’t disturb you anymore."
"Hey, why? Your calls are never a disturbance. We should catch up when there’s ti."
Mom, brother’s bullying ...
Lin "Workaholic" Chen, doing it on purpose!
Lin Chen glanced at the live stream, saw Fu Sichen on the screen, smiled slightly, his voice magnetic through the phone, "Your instructor looks quite handso. Make sure he trains you well, and don’t let him hold back."
"I trust he heard since the call’s on speaker. Jiang Mian, don’t embarrass ."
"Humph, mind your own business."
Dog of a man, not a hint of tenderness.
She wanted to complain, but her brother had already sided with Captain Fu.
The man chuckled deeply, his laughter laced with indulgent warmth, "Alright, train well. I’ll see you when you’re back."
The comnts rolled in.
"HAHAHA, Jiang Mian’s family are all codians!"
"Holy s! His laugh got all weak."
"Starting today, I’m officially a fan of Jiang Mian, because I want to be her sister-in-law!"
"Help, my ears are pregnant."
The focus of the conversation quickly shifted from laughing at Jiang Mian to wanting to be her sister-in-law.
After hanging up, Jiang Mian put the landline phone on the table and looked at the room full of people, their faces red from laughter.
"You must all be tired from laughing. Captain Fu, can we go have dinner now?"
Jiang Mian couldn’t wait to escape from this place.
Her family single-handedly established her as "low on the family totem pole."
The smile didn’t fade from Fu Sichen’s lips; he stood up and nodded in agreent, "Jiang Mian is right. Let’s all go have dinner, and don’t forget the welco party tonight."
"Dismissed!"
"Jiang Mian, wait up, I’ll walk with you."
