Chapter 378: Jian Tan’s Friends

“Who asked him to offend our Second Young Master Jian?”
As Ye Ting spoke, he seemed to have thought of something. He paced around and found a chair for himself to sit on. From afar, he looked at Xia Wei and continued, “Please don’t say polite words such as thank you to me. I’ve been good friends with Jian Tan for many years. I definitely can’t stand by and do nothing about my sister-in-law’s matter. Don’t worry. I’ll get the ‘thank you gift’ from him myself.”
Ye Ting was not a straightforward man. He knew how to mediate the atmosphere, so he directly skipped this topic of thanking him in a half-joking tone.
Xia Wei chuckled and did not continue to dwell on this topic. She glanced at the adjutant standing beside Ye Ting. After thinking for a moment, she asked politely, “Since Mr. Ye is Jian Tan’s friend, you should know Doctor Huo Feng, right? I heard Jian Tan briefly mention a few of his friends before, but I’ve only met Huo Feng. This can be considered a coincidence.”
“You’re saying that he mentioned the few of us to you? That’s really rare. My identity is special. I haven’t seen my buddies in a long time. I wonder if Huo Feng is still that annoying. Hahaha!”
Hearing Xia Wei mention Huo Feng, Ye Ting missed the past. Then, he slowly started talking. “Speaking of which, you might not have seen Wei Xi yet, right? He, Jian Tan, and Ding Jing used to be so close that they could wear the same pants. I don’t know what he was thinking at that time. He followed Jian Tan and Ding Jing all day long and didn’t find it embarrassing! You should know Ding Jing, right?”
Xia Wei listened to Ye Ting talk about these things related to Jian Tan seriously. She realized with some heartache that other than Huo Feng and Ye Ting, who accidentally barged into her life with Jian Tan, she actually knew nothing about Jian Tan’s social circle. She did not know much about Jian Tan’s friends.
Of course, she was not lying when she said that she had heard Jian Tan mention a few friends. However, they were just a few unnamed people.
Ye Ting was one of the only people she could match up to because Jian Tan had indeed mentioned before that he had a good friend who was a soldier, but she had never mentioned his name.
“I know. I’ve already met her at Jian Tan’s house.” Xia Wei restrained her strange emotions and smiled at Ye Ting.
Hearing Xia Wei say that she had already been to the Jian Family’s old residence, Ye Ting was a little shocked.
He widened his eyes and looked at Xia Wei. He asked anxiously, “You’ve met Uncle and Auntie Jian? When did this happen? Don’t tell me you and Jian Tan are already preparing to get married? I just buried my head in work for half a year. Why does it suddenly seem like the Internet has been cut off and I don’t know anything?”
Xia Wei did not know how Ye Ting came up with this strange idea. She smiled helplessly and shook her head as she explained, “No, Jian Tan and I… haven’t reached that stage yet! You’ve misunderstood.”
“What do you mean it hasn’t reached that stage? What misunderstanding?” Jian Tan, who suddenly pushed the door open from outside, took a look at Ye Ting and the adjutant in the ward and spoke gently to take over Xia Wei’s words.
As he spoke, he looked at Xia Wei, who was leaning against the hospital bed. The smile on his face dissipated a little. He continued without a pause, “Don’t you feel uncomfortable leaning against your shoulder like this? Come, let me help you lie down first. Doctor Pei said that you need to lie down and rest well.”
Hearing this, Xia Wei obediently let Jian Tan help her lie down. Actually, her shoulder was already feeling a little uncomfortable during the few minutes she was talking to Ye Ting. It was just that she could not say it directly with the guests around.
Now that Jian Tan was back, she couldn’t be bothered to be polite.
Sensing the “sour” smell of love in the air, Ye Ting shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly. He raised his eyebrows at his good brother, who had “forgotten his friends”. He pretended to tease him and said, “As expected, men change 18 times when they grow up. Why haven’t 1 seen you take care of us buddies like this before? Wei Xi must be blind from crying, right?”
“I have many buddies, but 1 only have one girlfriend. Naturally, the few of you can’t compare to her!” Best Actor Jian, who was not ashamed of “forgetting his friends”, continued indifferently.
He gave Xia Wei a reassuring look before letting go of Xia Wei’s blanket. He turned around and looked at Ye Ting. “I heard from Huo Feng that Wei Xi is also in City T recently. Call him over for a meal in a few days. We can also officially introduce Xia Wei to you..”
