Chapter 92: Am I the Only Outsider?

Chapter 92: Am I the Only Outsider?

TL: Etude

Returning to Jizhou, the weather was clear and bright.

Jiang Qin briskly pulled his suitcase out of the station without a moments pause, leaving Sun Yanbin puzzled.

Why was this man so indifferent to the presence of such a beautiful girl? He seemed to be hurrying away as if fleeing, thought Sun.

Unaware of Suns thoughts, Jiang would have laughed had he known. Youre really walking into a trap with your eyes wide open, hed think.

Chu Siqi, watching Jiangs resolute departure, felt deeply hurt. She wanted to vent her frustration but didnt know whom to direct it at. Everything seemed irksome to her, culminating in a fierce glare at Sun Yanbin.

Did she just look at me? Sun was slightly startled.

Half an hour later, Jiang returned home. The long-awaited return of a child studying away was naturally met with enthusiastic reception from his parents. Yuan Youqin even took a day off to prepare a feast for Jiang.

However, this warmth and affection were often fleeting.

On October 1st, his mother was overjoyed, My son, youre back!

On October 2nd, she was still happy, Sleep in a bit, studying must be tiring.

By October 3rd, Mrs. Yuans mood soured, Could you tidy up your room?

And on October 4th, with a furrowed brow, she asked, When do you start school again?

Jiang knew the warmth of this reunion was fading. From the fifth day, he started getting up early and going out, avoiding any chance for his mother to find fault with him.

Uncle, youre here?

Yes, I am. Shuan, you seem to have grown taller, almost as tall as your uncle. Impressive.Follow current novels at novelhall.com)

At Yangs Lamb Soup Restaurant, Yang Shuan looked at his old classmate and now uncle with mixed feelings. Watching him chatting amicably with his father, shoulder to shoulder, calling each other brother, Shuan felt awkward.

Jiang had invested in the restaurant just for fun. When Yang Jianguo wanted to calculate his dividends, Jiang declined, advising him to use the money to open a third branch.

He also suggested diversifying the menu. Specializing in lamb soup was fine, but too much focus on a single item wouldnt take them far. After all, aiming for a national chain with just lamb soup seemed overly ambitious.

Yang Jianguo had always wanted to open a third branch. Hearing Jiangs suggestion, he was thrilled, playfully chiding his son, Look at your uncle, we were in the same class in high school. Why cant you be as mature as him?

So, when shall we leave?

Lets go on the 7th. I wont be back till the New Year.

Chu, when do you plan to leave? Sun Yanbin directly ignored their decision and asked Chu Siqi, as that was his real purpose for creating the group.

Chu Siqi: Then Ill also leave on the 7th. Shall we go buy tickets together in the afternoon?

Sun Yanbin: Great, Ill leave on the 7th too.

Jiang Qin:

Jiang Qin: I just remembered something. Ill leave on the 8th.

Upon seeing this message, Sun Yanbin inwardly celebrated. With Jiang, who was more attractive than him, out of the picture, his chances with Chu Siqi would be better: Then you go by yourself. Well stick to the 7th. Chu, what time will you be at the station? Ill join you.

Chu Siqi: Never mind, Ill also leave on the 8th.

Jiang Qin was speechless: Then I wont leave. I plan to rot at home.

Sun Yanbin was confused by the chat history, and before he could make sense of it, he noticed one less person in the group. Then he received a notification that Jiang had left the group immediately after his last message.

With one person missing, the change in the five-person group was too obvious, and the others quickly noticed Jiangs departure.

Chu Siqi: Since hes left, Im leaving too.

Sun Yanbin: ?????

Wang Huiru: If Siqis leaving, I guess Ill leave too.

Sun Yanbin:

Guo Zihang: Goodbye.

Sun Yanbin remained silent for a long time, unable to comprehend what just happened. What exactly went on in that group?

He pondered this until late into the night, then suddenly it dawned on him was he the only outsider in that group?
