Chapter 208: Chapter 161: Supporting Silu, Whether She Wants to Study Abroad or Travel the World

"You pervert! You hooligan!" Jiang Yixia stomped her foot, quickly sidestepped Lu Fan, and continued walking forward.

Lu Fan loved watching her get all flustered and annoyed.

Soon, they reached the end of Binjiang Road.

Jiang Yixia looked back at him and said, "Alright, our walk is over, and we’ve said what we needed to say. I’m going home." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"Let me walk you home."

"No need."

Jiang Yixia was as cold and heartless as ever.

Of course, she wasn’t truly indifferent. Before leaving, she added, "And don’t focus all your energy on the two kids. They need to go through their own trials and grow. Sometimes, a few necessary setbacks are a good thing. You should get more rest yourself."

With that, she left.

Hearing Jiang Yixia’s concern, the corners of Lu Fan’s mouth lifted into a smile.

’You never used to have such a sharp tongue and a soft heart. You used to be such a gentle girl. It’s all my fault,’ he teased quietly to himself after Jiang Yixia was gone.

Jiang Yixia quickly returned home.

As she was taking off her shoes, she noticed the pattern tied into her shoelaces.

’That guy actually took the time to tie them into a heart shape.’

Seeing this, Jiang Yixia couldn’t help but smile.

’Even though I can’t stand him, he sure has a lot of flashy tricks up his sleeve.’

However, seeing his quiet care and dedication to the two children started to give Jiang Yixia other ideas.

But for now, her top priority was to focus on Jiang Ming.

This business with Jiang Ming dating that technician couldn’t be dragged out any longer. If it went on for too long, Jiang Yixia worried that with her brother’s personality, he would get in too deep.

So, Jiang Yixia gave Jiang Ming a call.

At that moment, Jiang Ming had just finished a date.

Although he knew Ma Xiaofei was a technician, he believed that technicians also earned money through their own labor. As long as it didn’t involve any shady business, it was an honest way to live.

When he received Jiang Yixia’s call, he felt a little uneasy. "Hello, Sis."

Jiang Yixia asked from the other end of the line, "Did you have it out with her?"

"Yeah, I did."

"So are you still with her?" Jiang Yixia asked tentatively.

Jiang Ming finally said, "I’m sorry, Sis. I think I still really like her. She said she hasn’t done any of those inappropriate things, so I want to give it a try with her. After all, earning money with your own two hands isn’t something to be ashamed of."

"If I told you that Lu Fan found evidence of her shameful dealings, would you believe it?" Jiang Yixia asked.

Jiang Ming grew nervous. "For real?"

"I’ll send you a file. It’s not something I can easily tell you to your face. See for yourself. You’re an adult now, not a kid anymore."

A short while later, Jiang Yixia sent a file to Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming anxiously opened it.

Inside, he found transfer records from several clients. The recipient’s WeChat was indeed Ma Xiaofei’s.

Jiang Ming suddenly started to panic.

He saw prices listed for "half-service" and "full-service," and his heart sank even further.

He sent a message to Jiang Yixia: [Is this investigation real or fake? Did he make it up? Isn’t he a notorious liar?]

Jiang Yixia replied: [Lu Fan has no reason to fool me with fake information. If he can find it, he finds it. If he can’t, he says he can’t. Of course, seeing is believing. You’d better go to their foot bath city and see for yourself if there are any illicit services.]

Jiang Ming: [Okay, I get it.]

Looking at the transfer records from last month, Jiang Ming knew that if the foot bath city really did offer *those kinds of services*, he just needed to fish for information to confirm whether it was "clean" or "dirty."

In the end, he called a Didi and rushed to Yu Cheng Foot Bath City.

Arriving at the building, Jiang Ming bought a hat from a nearby shop as a disguise, worried he might run into Ma Xiaofei.

But as he was about to press the elevator button, his hands started to shake again.

He had never gotten a foot massage before and had no idea what the procedure was.

But Jiang Ming couldn’t possibly ask Jiang Yixia to come and investigate.

He couldn’t ask his colleagues to check it out for him, either.

What if he ended up requesting his own girlfriend?

After thinking it over and over, Jiang Ming thought of the perfect person for the job.

’But would this person help me?’

’After all, I was so nasty to him before.’

But, driven by his desire for the truth, Jiang Ming sent a message to Lu Fan: [Can you help me?]

Lu Fan replied quickly: [What do you need help with?]

Jiang Ming: [Can you come to Yu Cheng Foot Bath City? I want to know if they really have any shady business going on here.]

Lu Fan: [Be there in fifteen minutes.]

Jiang Ming: [Thank you.]

Lu Fan: [You’re paying for the foot massage.]

Jiang Ming gave a helpless smile. Of course, he would have to be the one to pay for it.

No matter how rich Lu Fan was, since he was the one asking for help, it was only right that he treat him to a foot massage.

「A short while later.」

Lu Fan arrived.

Seeing Lu Fan approach, Jiang Ming felt a little awkward.

He didn’t know what to call him, so he could only say politely, "Boss Lu."

"No need to call me that. If you really don’t know what to call me, just say Lu Fan," Lu Fan said cheerfully.

He then asked, "So, what’s the plan?"

Jiang Ming stammered and shook his head. "I... I’m not really sure. I’ve never gotten a foot massage, so I don’t know how to ask."

"You’ve never gotten a foot massage? Never been to a place like this?" Lu Fan was a little surprised.

Jiang Ming nodded.

’I can’t believe Jiang Ming is almost thirty, yet his life experience is so simple,’ Lu Fan thought to himself. ’Well, I guess I’ll be the one to give my little brother-in-law his first foot massage experience.’

So he said, "Alright, just follow me. Let’s go upstairs together."
