Chapter Thirty-Six: Siblings Reunite

  Jiang Xiao Ran was wearing only a white nurse uniform, with a nurse's hat on her head. Due to her overly ample chest, the top three buttons of the uniform couldn't be fastened, and could only be left open. Her fullness in front looked especially plump under these special circumstances, plus a face full of enchanting and innocent smile, she was simply a lethal killer.

  Behind him, a middle-aged man of about 1.7 meters tall followed, the middle-aged man was slightly thin, with some Mediterranean signs on his head, a long face with a pair of glasses, under the thick lenses, a pair of turbid but sharp eyes, wearing a black suit, holding an abacus that looked like it had been used for many years.

  "I didn't have anything to do, so I just happened to be passing by here and came to see you. How about I treat you to lunch?" Chu Yan's gaze lingered on the middle-aged man behind Jiang Xiao Ran for about three seconds, because he wasn't sure if this was the VIP client that Fan Xiang Huan had mentioned. If it was, then this man probably didn't have his mind on seeing a doctor.

  "Great, just in time for me to get off work. I was worried that no one would invite me out to dinner." Miao Miao, Jiang Xiao Ran's best friend, was currently busy giving a patient a thorough teeth cleaning and it seemed like she still had a while before finishing up. She looked up at Jiang Xiao Ran, then smiled at Chu Yan before speaking, "I won't go, my family is coming to pick me up soon and I might need to take the afternoon off."

  "Alright, remember to call me if anything comes up." Jiang Xiao Ran said as she pulled Chu Yan's hand and was about to leave, but the middle-aged man holding an abacus suddenly spoke up, "Jiang Xiao Ran, where are you going? It's only 11:58 now. If you leave now, that's considered leaving early, and half a day's salary will be deducted."

  The middle-aged man tapped his fingers on the abacus, then walked up to Chu Yan with a questioning expression. "Who is he? Don't you know that there are many weird uncles in today's society who specialize in cheating little girls like you? If nothing else, don't go anywhere. Today I'll treat you to a bowl of noodles across the street, and since you're working so hard, I'll add two eggs for you to nourish yourself."

  The middle-aged man's eyes flickered to Jiang Xianran's chest for an instant, and the swallowing motion of his throat was extremely small but still caught by Chu Yan.

  "Ah, and who is this?" Chu Yan had a bad impression of the middle-aged man, but at the same time, he also discovered that his judgment was wrong. The man seemed to be someone from this clinic, not some kind of VIP client.

  "Oh, this is our financial department's Liu Kezhang, Liu Kezhang, he is my big...big brother, Chu Yan." Jiang Xianran's introduction was quite interesting, originally wanting to say that Chu Yan was an uncle, but suddenly changed it to big big brother, which almost made Chu Yan laugh out loud on the side.

  "Alright, let's go. Today, I'll take you out for a big meal, and let Director Liu treat the other colleagues to noodles instead. Director Liu, goodbye." Chu Yan said, Jiang Xiao Ran raised her left hand on the side, glanced at the watch on her wrist "Director Liu, it's time to get off work, I didn't leave early." After that, the two of them left the clinic shoulder to shoulder.

  "Liu Kechang, when did you become so generous?" After Chu Yan and Jiang Xiaoran left, a doctor came down from upstairs, with a sarcastic face, teasing Liu Kechang.

  "I've always been generous, you just haven't noticed. Alright, hurry up and go out for dinner after work, and come back to continue working afterwards. If you're late, be careful or I'll deduct your salary." Director Liu said as he tossed the abacus in his hand, turned around and went back to his office. As for treating others to a meal, don't even think about it - anyone who knows him is aware that he's a stingy man who won't part with a single hair, and even if he does reluctantly give up some, he'll find ways to get double the amount back in no time.

  "Honey, where are you? Hurry up and come pick me up, I want to eat pizza for lunch." As soon as Liu Ke announced the end of work, half of the people who didn't have work in their hands rushed out, because there was a rule in the clinic that the person who finished their work last would be on duty until others finished eating and came back to take over.

  Fan Xianghuan was already standing at the door early on. As soon as Liu Kechang spoke, she was the first to run outside and started making a phone call.

  At this moment, her boyfriend, Wu Feng, was lying in the VIP room of Jie Long Sauna. A naked woman was blowing a trumpet with all her might. This kid had good luck at the casino last night and won over a million, so he directly opened a VIP room at his usual sauna house and called two foreign horses to prepare for a good ride.

  Unfortunately, this guy seemed to have run out of ammo due to the frequent battles, and had no choice but to lie down and let one of the relatively smaller ones play a classic tune for him. For over half an hour, his little brother didn't even lift his head, and then less than half a minute later, he surrendered.

  Helpless, the kid had to bring out the ultimate treasure again - the blue pill. This was considered a comeback of sorts. When Fan Xianghua called over, this kid's first thought was that loli from Tongyuan Giant Peak. Just thinking about her body made his little brother miraculously raise its flag again. After hanging up the phone, he quickly took advantage of the heat to ride the foreign horse that had been working hard for half a day.

  When he arrived at the dental clinic, an hour had passed. According to the clinic's rules, lunchtime was only one and a half hours long. Fortunately, Wu Feng, this second-generation ancestor, had some money, and Fan Xianghuan didn't care about the clinic's rules at all. Of course, this disregard had a prerequisite - that is, as long as Wu Feng came to pick her up; otherwise, she would follow the rules more than anyone else.

  "Hubby, why are you just coming over now? It's already this late, and after we finish dinner, I'll be docked pay again." With a flirtatious smile, Fan Xianghuan got into the car, while Wu Feng pulled out a stack of 3,000 yuan in hundred-yuan bills from his pocket and stuffed them into Fan Xianghuan's blouse, also taking the opportunity to grope her breasts. "Damn, student girls' skin is so tender."

  "Want to go get some pizza? I'll take you to Xidi Island." Wu Feng's words made Fan Xianghuan's heart skip a beat, and she couldn't help but throw herself into his arms and give him a passionate kiss.

  The red Hummer H2 roared away from the clinic.

  Two blocks away from the clinic, in a fast food restaurant called Princess Sauce, Chu Yan and Jiang Xiao Ran's meal was also nearing its end. Whether it was Chu Yan or Jiang Xiao Ran, both of their faces were filled with continuous smiles, clearly showing that this meal had been quite enjoyable.

  "Alright, I'll ask a question and hope you can answer me truthfully." Putting down the knife and fork in his hand, Chu Yan looked at Jiang Xiao Ran who was still eating with his head down.

  "Hmm... okay... you go ahead, I'll tell you everything I know, without holding back." The first half of the sentence was spoken with a mouthful of steak, and by the time he finished speaking, the steak had been swallowed and his mouth corners were stained with the colors of eating steak.

  "Is there another brother?" As soon as Chu Yan said this, Jiang Xiao Ran's smile on his face suddenly froze. He picked up a paper towel and wiped away the traces on the corner of his mouth, then thought for a long time before slowly answering: "Before Dad died, he mentioned to me that my older brother had already passed away. But I don't believe it, because every month, Dad would receive a sum of money, and when I secretly asked about it, I found out that the money was transferred from an overseas account. I think that must have been sent by my brother."

  Jiang Xiao Ran's emotions became somewhat downcast as he spoke, while Chu Yan's face actually looked more solid after hearing these words. After some thought, he took out the old photograph from his pocket and quietly placed it in front of Jiang Xiao Ran "Is this you?"

  "Huh? How did you get this photo?? I remember there was only one copy of this photo, and then it somehow disappeared! How did it end up in your hands? Do you know my brother?" Jiang Xiao Ran's string of questions made Chu Yan involuntarily reach out his hand to gently rub her head a few times. This little girl, with her anxious expression, was really adorable.

  "Don't worry, I've known your big brother for a long time, not only do we know each other, but he's also my good brother. So, you're San Dao's little sister, which makes you my little sister too, Chu Yan. This photo was given to me by your big brother before he left, and he asked me to find you and take good care of you." Chu Yan's explanation was simple, and he didn't want to hide anything from Jiang Xiao Ran either. After all, it was possible that Jiang Xiao Ran had no memories of her brother at all in her mind, so even if she felt sad, it wouldn't be too intense.

  "Is he really dead?" Upon hearing the news, Jiang Xiao Ran's face indeed fell and she looked very sad. Unwilling to give up, she opened her mouth again to ask another question.

  "Maybe, I'm not sure either, but I can tell you that your brother and I are both soldiers, every mission may be fatal, so there's no need to be sad. Besides, I didn't see him die with my own eyes, so I won't give you an answer." Although in his heart, Chu Yan felt that Jiang San Dao's chances of survival were very slim, but since he hadn't seen the body with his own eyes, Chu Yan wouldn't jump to conclusions either.

  "Oh, what a pity. I thought I could learn more about my brother." After a moment, the sadness and loss on Jiang Xiao Ran's face dissipated somewhat, and her voice had basically returned to normal.

  "Well, from now on you can stop calling me 'uncle', right? After all, I'm also your brother's older brother, so it shouldn't be a problem to call me 'older big brother'?" Chu Yan said with a smile, taking a sip of his drink and half-jokingly adding.

  "Big brother? This title is not bad, then I'll call you big brother from now on. Oh no, it's almost half past, I have to hurry back to work, or else I'll be late again and that Liu will deduct my salary." As she spoke, Jiang Xiaoran stood up, grabbed her cartoon bag and was about to run out when Chu Yan stopped her with a smile "Don't rush, I'll take a taxi to send you back."

  After settling the bill, Chu Yan hailed a taxi and paid the fare in advance before letting Jiang Xiao Ran get in. As he watched Jiang Xiao Ran leave, Chu Yan's heart felt lighter than ever before, having resolved one of his concerns. People always feel refreshed for a while after clearing up their worries.
