What's going on? What happened during his days away in other provinces? Why was the atmosphere so intimidating! It wasn't hard to find out. When Xia Lin and Xiao Jinyu were having a meal, Xiao Jinyu's middle - aged butler was always there. He had been by Xiao Jinyu's side for over a decade and was one of the few absolutely trustworthy people.
After learning the ins and outs of the matter from the butler, Jiang Minghuai sighed. A look of worry appeared on his usually enthusiastic and care - free face.
Sure enough, there was a friction between his kind and innocent sister - in - law and his elder brother who had been steeped in the darkness for years.
No way. As his elder brother's cutest and most understanding younger brother, he must help his brother and sister - in - law solve their emotional problems.
"Xia Lin, do you want to make up with big brother?"
Xia Lin didn't expect Jiang Minghuai to ask so directly without any pre - probing. He lowered his head dejectedly and said, "Jinyu must still be angry with me. I don't know how to make up with him."
There's a chance! Jiang Minghuai's eyes lit up. "Xia Lin, let me tell you. In a few days, it will be big brother's birthday. You can just apologize to him when you give him his birthday present. Maybe big brother also regrets being so harsh to you at that time and wants to apologize too. He just might be too embarrassed. You know my big brother. He's always been a decisive leader and can't bring himself to show weakness!"
Xia Lin nodded, but he was still a bit nervous. "But I don't know what Jinyu likes."
Jiang Minghuai's face stiffened. Oh no. Actually, he knew some of Xiao Jinyu's hobbies. For example, he liked to collect all kinds of guns, but there was no way Xia Lin could give that as a gift!
As for other things, think quickly. "Ah, it seems big brother doesn't have any obvious hobbies on a daily basis. Xia Lin, why don't you just choose a gift suitable for a man in his late twenties?"
Seeing that Jiang Minghuai didn't know Xiao Jinyu's preferences either, Xia Lin was troubled. But soon he cheered up again.
At least he knew how to make up with Xiao Jinyu. Maybe after a few days, Xiao Jinyu would no longer be angry. As for the gift, he could ask the butler. It was said that the butler had always been by Xiao Jinyu's side and must know his preferences.
"Thank you, Minghuai!"
Jiang Minghuai waved his hand. "We're family. No need to be so polite. By the way, if you successfully make up with big brother, could you please talk to him and get rid of the assistant beside me?"
Then, Jiang Minghuai explained to him. It turned out that he had just recently discovered that the deputy general manager beside him was actually a subordinate that Xiao Jinyu trusted very much.
"You don't know. He's even more long - winded than my mom! He won't let me go to nightclubs, won't let me stay out after 11 p.m., and won't let me drink too much. Most importantly, he won't even allow me to go out with girls alone, saying that I'm still too young to fall in love! I'm already twenty, okay!"
Listening to Jiang Minghuai's complaints, Xia Lin felt a bit strange. He thought that Xiao Jinyu was almost as strict with him. Thinking of the 30 - point affection value from Xiao Jinyu, Xia Lin couldn't help but suspect that this assistant might actually like Jiang Minghuai. But he wasn't sure, so he didn't tell Jiang Minghuai his speculation. Maybe the assistant was just being very dutiful according to Xiao Jinyu's instructions.
"Okay, I'll mention it to him when I get the chance."
Jiang Minghuai happily put his arm around Xia Lin's shoulder. "Good brother!"
