Chapter 343: Chapter 343: He Can Support Jiang Li for a Lifetime

Jiang Li recognized the voice.

But she suddenly acted mischievously indifferent, "Are you a telemarketer? Sorry, I don’t need anything."

"Hey, hey, hey, it’s me," Zhao Lang quickly said, his tone tinged with a bit of disappointment, "You can’t even recognize my voice anymore."

"I recognized it, I was just kidding," Jiang Li said. "Why are you suddenly calling me so late? Is something the matter?"

Zhao Lang deliberately sighed, "What’s the matter? Can’t I call you if there’s nothing going on?"

"Of course, you can, but..." Jiang Li glanced at the number, "This is an overseas call, are you in England? You went through all the trouble to call me, and that’s all you have to say?"

Zhao Lang touched his nose and coughed lightly, "As expected, nothing gets past Miss Jiang’s eyes. I’m indeed in England. Do you know about Saint Ambrose College? I’m studying here. This place is as strict as a Hua Country prison; they don’t even allow mobile phones to be carried around. I had to persuade the professor for a long time just to get an hour of call time, so you better cherish it."

Jiang Li smiled, got up, and walked to the window, looking up at the bright moon outside, "Young Master Zhao’s time is valuable, but isn’t mine valuable too?"

"Of course, your time is more precious than diamonds, so I wouldn’t dare to delay," Zhao Lang said. "Do you still remember the peace charm you gave me before I left? It saved my life again. I will be forever in debt to you."

"If you still need them, I can mail a few more to you, but this time they won’t be free. It’ll be a hundred thousand for each talisman."

Zhao Lang’s mouth opened, "Sis, that’s quite a markup! Anyone else’s talisman wouldn’t be more than a few dozen dollars."

"But is mine the same as anyone else’s?"

"Yours is indeed different," Zhao Lang agreed, nodding. Then he reached into his chest and touched the warm talisman against his skin.

The peace charm’s surface was tattered, but he couldn’t bear to throw it away, so he had a thin and sturdy piece of glass crystal crafted to encase it, never taking it off even to shower.

Seeing this talisman, he always thought of the days spent in Chixia Village.

Zhao Lang sighed softly, "Who knows when we’ll meet again."

"We’re bound to meet if it’s meant to be," Jiang Li said.

"Miss Jiang, that sounds so indifferent. What exactly constitutes ’fate?’ Do we have it?"

"Why wouldn’t we?" Jiang Li smiled, "Even a chance encounter is fate, and we’ve been through life and death together."

Zhao Lang was quite relieved.

"Then I owe it to Chen Xing as well, otherwise, I wouldn’t have had the chance to develop this life-and-death bond with Miss Jiang."

"You—"

Just as Jiang Li was about to respond, the door to her room was suddenly pushed open.

Turning around, it was Jiang Yan, his face covered in makeup.

He seemed to have just returned from outside, still dressed in the bright and colorful clothes from the photoshoot, his face filled with resentment.

"Jiang Li, can’t you keep your brother in check? I—"

Seeing the mobile phone by Jiang Li’s ear, he hesitated, and alarm bells rang in his head.

"Who are you talking to so late?"

Jiang Li put down the phone, "Nothing, just a friend. Jiang Yan, how many times have I told you to knock before entering my room?"

Zhao Lang heard the commotion from her end, cleared his throat and said, "If you’re busy, go ahead. I’m going to hang up; good night."

"Okay."

That "good night," was heavily emphasized, even the exhausted Jiang Yan caught it.

He instantly snapped awake and hurried over to Jiang Li in his slippers.

"Are you actually talking to a man?"

"And he even says good night to you? With such an ambiguous tone? Who is this random guy? It’s not Qi Tianyu, is it?"

"Just the other day, I saw on Weibo that someone mentioned you’ve been getting close with him, even bringing him home. Are you two dating behind my back?"

"How long have you known each other? You don’t even really know what kind of person he is, and you’re already dating? Weren’t you planning to retake the college entrance exam? How can you get distracted by this kind of thing?"

"...."

Jiang Yan rambled on, sounding just like an incessant nagging old woman.

Jiang Li pressed her temples with a headache.

"Firstly, when did I tell you I was talking to Qi Tianyu?"

"Furthermore, Qi Tianyu only came to our house to discuss academics, there was nothing else, and we’re not dating. You can be at ease."

"Also, since when have you been so concerned about my affairs? Even if I were dating, what could you do about it?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan grew even more displeased.

"I’m your brother! Our father died early, and the eldest brother is like a father. How can I not be in charge of you?!"

After saying that, he seemed to realize his attitude might have been too forceful and became irritated, running a hand through his hair and saying, "Sorry, I’ve been too tired lately. I apologize, but are you really not dating anyone?"

"No, I’m too busy with my own affairs to even think about dating."

"That’s good then," Jiang Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

He really didn’t want to see his beautiful sister get deceived by some smelly guy.

Just thinking about someone holding Jiang Li’s hand and approaching him with a provocative look on their face made Jiang Yan want to jump up and go crazy right on the spot.

Don’t even think about it!

He used to think his annoying sister should hurry up and get married off to bother someone else, but now that she suddenly became quiet, he began to panic.

She better never get married in this lifetime.

He would be fine supporting her financially forever.

Watching Jiang Yan’s erratic behavior, one moment hopping around, the next deep in thought, then frowning bitterly, then laughing, Jiang Li was speechless...

Has this person gone crazy from exhaustion?

She looked him up and down and asked, "Why aren’t you asleep so late? Did you come all the way to my room with that heavy makeup just to talk about this?"

"Don’t even mention it," Jiang Yan waved his hand, then plopped down on her bed.

He had just signed with Star Media and been busy being dragged around to photo shoots and various magazines by Shen Lan, attending all kinds of parties and gatherings, running about from dawn to dusk without a moment’s rest.

The worst was those parties that were utterly boring, either schmoozing or brown-nosing, and all of it bottled up his frustration with nowhere to vent.

He had tried to complain to Shen Lan.

But Shen Lan said that he didn’t have much popularity and wasn’t formally trained, so only through such extensive promotion could he rapidly gain recognition and receive some decent and good resources.

With no choice faced with Shen Lan’s strong attitude and tactics, Jiang Yan had to succumb.

He had just spent the previous night on an all-nighter for a photoshoot. Today, he finally had a break and returned home. Without even removing his makeup or taking a shower, he collapsed on the bed.
