brotherly debt

Teacher Lan doesn't need to be modest, Xiaotao told me that you teach very well. "Jiang Muyan smiled softly, leaned into Lan Xi's ear, and said softly, "Why don't you come to my house to be an English tutor?I'll pay you double salary, you only need to come to my house twice a week, what do you think? "

"This..." Lan Xi thought about it seriously, Jiang Xiaotao is a smart kid, he learns things quickly, so it shouldn't be difficult to teach, so he nodded and said, "It's okay to be a tutor, but there is no need to double the salary, let's go with the market The price is the same."

Looking at Lanxi's serious attitude and completely trusting eyes, Jiang Muyan felt a little guilty, but he still insisted: "Don't refuse, my family lives far away, and the extra salary is considered as compensation for your travel expenses. Then we will It's settled!"

Lan Xi couldn't hold him back, so he nodded in agreement.

The night is getting darker, and the late autumn night wind is blowing on the body, bringing a penetrating coolness.

Lan Xi was dressed thinly, and the thin suit couldn't keep out the cold, so she couldn't help but sneezed.

Jiang Muyan took pity on him, hurriedly took off his coat, put it on Lan Xi's shoulders, and wrapped his arms around his shoulders, saying: "It's cold, let's stop standing outside and blow the wind, let's go back?"

Although Lan Xi felt that Jiang Muyan's actions were a bit too intimate, but he usually hooked shoulders with Lan Yu like this, and they were very intimate, so he didn't think too much about it, and walked side by side towards the school gate with Jiang Muyan.

"I remember that you like champagne very much. Recently, a friend gave me a bottle of French champagne, which I hid in the wine cabinet at home. It's still early, why don't you go to my place and have a drink before going back?" Jiang Muyan showed a big smile. With the true nature of a wolf with a tail, he quietly abducts the innocent little white rabbit.

Unexpectedly, Lan Xi's face froze, and she refused: "No, I won't drink."

Jiang Muyan asked persistently: "Why? You obviously liked it last time."

"Drinking is bad."

"What's wrong?"

Lan Xi blindly shook her head and refused to say anything, but Jiang Muyan couldn't stop her stalking, and kept asking, Lan Xi was forced to be helpless, so she could only blushed and stammered: "Drink too much, fart... Butt hurts!"

"..."

A few seconds of blankness appeared in Jiang Muyan's mind, and then he lowered his head deeply, pressed his fist against his mouth, and tried his best to suppress the urge to laugh out loud, until the muscles on his face twisted.

Lan Xi gave him a strange look, and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No...it's nothing!" Jiang Muyan suppressed his smile and waved his hand towards Lanxi.

God, how could there be such a lovely person?Is he really an adult?Why do you feel that you are more innocent and deceitful than your little nephew?

Such a treasure, be it cheating or abducting, or stealing, in short, no matter what method is used, nothing can make him escape from the palm of his hand!Jiang Muyan made a secret decision in his heart.

"Then it's settled. The night after tomorrow, you can come to my house for class, can you?"

"Yeah, okay, no problem!"

Jiang Muyan watched Lan Xi drive away in that small white Toyota, with a smug smile on his gentle and handsome face.

11. So poor that only money is left!

At seven o'clock in the evening, the night fell and the lights came on.

With a thick pile of textbooks under his arm, Lan Xi appeared at the gate of Lingxi Courtyard on time.

Jiang Muyan personally greeted him at the door, and called out kindly: "Teacher Lan, you are here!"

Mr. Butler, who had given Lan Xi supercilious looks, was far behind Jiang Muyan. He was obviously surprised to see Lan Xi again. Hearing Jiang Muyan call him a teacher, the butler's expression became even more strange.

Is the salary of teachers so bad these days that they are reduced to the level of Israelites?It's true that people's hearts are not old, and the world is in decline!

The young master is also true, it's fine to play once in a while, how can you call him again and again?What should I do if I let the old man know about it?

Jiang Muyan graciously led Lan Xi to the study, completely ignoring the poor housekeeper's overcompensation and worries.

The Jiang family's study room was furnished in a simple and elegant way, with tall bookshelves full of dazzling books. Lan Xi put the thick handouts on the desk and looked around, but couldn't find anyone he could make up for.

"Where's Xiaotao?" Lan Xi asked Jiang Muyan.

"Xiaotao? Why are you looking for him?" Jiang Muyan raised his eyebrows pretending to be puzzled.

Lan Xi was confused by him, and frowned, "Didn't you ask me to help your son with homework?"

"My son?" Jiang Muyan was stunned, "Where did I get my son?"

"Why, isn't Jiang Xiaotao your son?" Now it was Lan Xi's turn to be surprised.

Jiang Muyan laughed: "You misunderstood, Xiaotao is my elder brother's son and my own nephew. The day before yesterday I attended the parent meeting instead of my elder brother. My brother's name is Jiang Mufeng. If you don't believe me, you can go to the school to check it out. file to see if Jiang Xiaotao’s father’s name is this.”

Lan Xi's mouth opened and closed, and he was speechless for a long time.

"Teacher Lan, I'm still single. I like children very much, but unfortunately I'm still single." Jiang Muyan shrugged regretfully.

It was only then that Lan Xi realized that he had made a big oolong. It turned out that Jiang Muyan was not Jiang Xiaotao's father, but his uncle, but after thinking about it, he became confused again.

"Since Jiang Xiaotao is not your son, what did you ask me to do?"

No matter how good-tempered Lan Xi was, he couldn't help being a little angry. For tonight's make-up class, he spent several hours preparing lessons carefully. Isn't this busy work for nothing?Really, that's not how you play people, right?

It was Lan Yu who had already jumped up and scolded her, but Lan Xi was well-bred. Although he was unhappy, he didn't say anything, but silently picked up the textbooks on the desk, ready to get up and leave.

Seeing that Lan Xi's face was obviously ugly, and he was about to turn around and leave without saying a word, Jiang Muyan hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold Lan Xi's hand.

"Teacher Lan, don't leave, I sincerely invite you to make up lessons, but the class is not for my nephew, but—" Jiang Muyan pointed to the tip of his nose, "Me!"

Lan Xi blinked his black and white eyes, and it took him a while to realize: "Mr. Jiang means...you are the one who needs to take English lessons?"

Jiang Muyan nodded sincerely, with an open-minded appearance.

Lan Xi looked at him suspiciously. Jiang Muyan can drive a famous car and live in a mansion. Needless to say, he must be from a wealthy family. From the outside, he looks like a handsome nobleman. People from such a family should have received higher education. Why? Still need to ask a primary school teacher like myself to help him with English tutoring?

The suspicion in Lan Xi's eyes did not escape Jiang Muyan's eyes. He had already thought of a countermeasure for this, and explained calmly: "Mr. Lan, you don't know that my father started from scratch. When I was young, I The family can be said to be completely destitute, my father wants to do business, borrows money everywhere, owes a lot of debts, and is forced to pay by people every three days, my mother is not in good health, and takes medicine all day long."

"Because of family difficulties, my elder brother and I only graduated from junior high school and then joined the company to help our father. It wasn't until the last few years that our family got better, and we finally made some money, and our life became more comfortable."

While talking, Jiang Muyan secretly observed Lan Xi's expression. Lan Xi was indeed touched by his story, which brought back the tragic childhood memories of him and Lan Yu. Under the sympathy of each other, the gaze towards Jiang Muyan became warmer.

"Although we live in a mansion, drive a famous car, have a lot of servants, go out and about, and seem to have unlimited scenery, but in the eyes of the real upper class, our family is just a nouveau riche, and they don't look down on me at all."

"It was only later that I realized that material wealth cannot cover up spiritual poverty. Knowledge is the real wealth. You don't know, Mr. Lan, that I envy intellectuals like you the most. You are noble, not vulgar, not Like me, I am full of money, and I have to bring a translator with me when I go abroad, otherwise it will be like opening my eyes and going blind!"

"Money can't buy knowledge, and you can't buy friends. I'm getting old, but I still want to learn English, but I don't have anyone I can trust to teach me. That's why I found Teacher Lan. If I say this, will you look down on me? ?”

Jiang Muyan sighed pretentiously, lowered his eyes, with a gloomy expression on his face.

Jiang Muyan's words were of a very high standard. On the one hand, he praised Lan Xi very highly and flattered him quietly;

As for authenticity, you can imagine.The Jiang family may have been down and out, but it was before Jiang Muyan was born. Young Master Jiang was born with a golden spoon in his mouth. How could he be blind without a higher education?

It's a pity, how could the simple Lan Xi know these truths?He was completely blinded by Jiang Muyan's excellent singing and writing performance.

It turns out that this seemingly rich and wealthy man hides so many sad and sad stories behind him!Before, he felt that there was a big gap between himself and Young Master Jiang, that he was not of the same class, but now this barrier has completely disappeared.

So poor that only money is left!

Isn't this the true portrayal of the nouveau riche Mr. Jiang?

Compared with him, although I am not rich in material, I am not poor in spirit, and I have a good brother who depends on each other.

Therefore, the sense of happiness is all compared. Compared with Mr. Jiang, Lan Xi felt that he was so lucky, and he began to sympathize with him in his heart.Moreover, Jiang Muyan studied with an open mind and a very sincere attitude, which made Lanxi very useful.

Lan Xi patted Jiang Muyan on the shoulder, and said sincerely: "Don't be sad, thank you for not giving up, I am willing to give you everything I have, and I will never hide anything!"

Jiang Muyan suppressed the joy in his heart, rubbed his hands together uneasily, and said: "However, my foundation is very poor, and my level may
