Chapter 518 Wei Yao Meets a Man

It rained for several days in a row and the weather became colder.

It’s the first day of winter, a rare sunny day. The winter sun shines warmly on people’s bodies. The warmth seems to penetrate into every pore of people, and then flow through all the gaps between bones, allowing people to stretch out their muscles and bones that had curled up due to the rain in the past few days.

In the court, the case concerning the disaster relief silver of Songjiang Prefecture was finally closed.

All officials involved were punished according to the severity of their crimes.

The most serious case was sentenced to death, while the lightest was sentenced to eight years in prison.

At the same time, the truth about the unjust case was sent out by the imperial court to various places in written form and announced through notices.

Jiang Suining and the others are on leave today and don't have to be on duty.

It happened that Shen Yanxi was also taking a break, so he made an appointment with Jiang Suining to go boating on the lake together in the afternoon.

His explanation was that although it was winter and everything was withering, the leaves of the sycamore trees on the outskirts of the city had fallen, and the ground was covered with golden yellow, rustling in the wind. Especially in the evening, there were lights floating on the lake, and when cruise ships passed by, the waves sparkled with golden light, creating a unique scene.

Because the appointment time was a little later, Jiang Suining went to the shop that Jiang Mushi was about to open in the morning.

As lunch time approached, the two of them left together and prepared to find a nearby restaurant to eat something.

Jiang Mushi was very puzzled when he learned that Jiang Suining and his friends were going boating in the afternoon.

"Sister, if you two are free, you should get married right away. What's the point of going boating in the lake in the winter?"

"I think boating on the lake is pretty nice." Jiang Suining said with a smile.

Glancing at his elder sister, Jiang Mushi shook his head and said, "Sister, you don't think boating is good, you think the people you go boating with are good."

If someone else had invited me, I would definitely not go.

Jiang Suining kept smiling and did not refute, so he just took it as his consent.

As they were talking, they walked to a restaurant. As soon as she entered, Xier spotted Wei Yao sitting on the right side of the lobby.

"Isn't that Miss Wei?"

Jiang Mushi immediately followed Xier's gaze and found that it was indeed Wei Yao.

Opposite Wei Yao sat a man who looked quite rich in clothes, but his back was turned to them so his face could not be seen clearly.

"Who is opposite Wei Yao?" Jiang Mushi asked.

Jiang Suining also looked over, thought for a moment, and lowered his voice to Jiang Mushi and said, "It's probably someone you're looking for."

"See each other?" Jiang Mushi subconsciously raised his voice. When he felt the people around him looking at him, he was stunned. Fortunately, Wei Yao didn't hear it. He breathed a sigh of relief and quickly lowered his voice, "Who is Wei Yao seeing? How come I don't know!"

"Are you two on good terms? Why did she tell you about her relationship?" Jiang Suining had a smile in his eyes. Looking at his brother's anxious look, he understood more and more.

"I..." Jiang Mushi choked, and regardless of his elder sister's teasing look, he asked again, "Sister, are you kidding or are you serious? Is that man really seeing Wei Yao?"

"It should be. Wei Yao told me yesterday that her uncle and aunt had come to her again recently and kept introducing men to her. I guess... they wanted to curry favor with someone through her."

"Is Wei Yao willing to do that? Didn't she and her uncle and aunt already have a falling out?"

"It was true that things got a little awkward before, but he was her uncle after all, and he kept pestering her. She was so annoyed that she agreed to meet him."

Jiang Mushi's expression improved a little, "So Wei Yao is unwilling, and just came here to go through the motions and send her away, right?"

Jiang Suining felt mischievous, and after thinking for a while, he deliberately said, "Although I came to meet someone just for the sake of formality, I can't rule out the possibility that I really fell in love with her at first sight. And Wei Yao is so good, if I were a man, I would never miss the chance to meet her."

Jiang Mushi's expression, which had just relaxed a little, froze again at Jiang Suining's words.

But Jiang Suining urged, "Let's go to the other side. Don't stay here to avoid disturbing them."

"No, I don't want to go to the other side. I think the right side is good. There is an empty table there. Let's eat there." Jiang Mushi pointed to an empty table in front of Wei Yao's left.

If you sit there and pay attention, you should be able to hear what they are saying, right?

I hope they don't speak too softly!

Jiang Suining looked at Jiang Mushi with a smile, raised his eyebrows and said, "Why bother? Maybe they are chatting happily now. Wouldn't it be disturbing them if we go over there?"

What I want is to disturb you! Jiang Mushi muttered to himself.

But he didn't say it out loud, just said: "What do you mean by disturbing or not, we are just having a meal. Sister, you are wrong to think so, and Wei Yao is your good friend, you should check for her. I think that man is not good, he is dressed so richly, as if he is afraid that others don't know he is rich."

As he spoke, Jiang Mushi looked down at himself. He was wearing a simple robe made of very common fabric. He was in a hurry when he went out today and didn't even bring a jade pendant.

Looking at the man opposite Wei Yao, he suddenly felt a little regretful.

Hearing someone else coming into the restaurant behind him, Jiang Mushi immediately said to Jiang Suining, "Sister, let's go over there quickly, so that the table won't be occupied by someone else."

Having said that, he walked over first.

However, halfway through the walk, Wei Yao happened to look over the person opposite her.

Wei Yao was stunned when she saw Jiang Mushi and the others.

Feeling Wei Yao's surprised gaze, Jiang Mushi's steps froze instantly. His previous eagerness was deflated, and he felt embarrassed instead.

"Let's go, what are you standing there for?" Jiang Suining gently pushed Jiang Mushi.

But seeing his brother almost at the point of collapse, Jiang Suining didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and could only walk past him and go to the front.

However, she did not stop at the empty table, but walked straight towards Wei Yao.

"Ayao, what a coincidence." Jiang Suining greeted with a smile.

As he spoke, he glanced at the man opposite Wei Yao. He looked to be about thirty years old, with ordinary facial features. Although he was not ugly, he was nothing special either. There was an obvious scar on his forehead that went from the corner of his forehead to the end of his eye.

"What a coincidence, you guys are here to eat too?" Wei Yao smiled at Jiang Suining, then glanced at Jiang Mushi who was following behind her.

"Yes, we looked at a shop nearby and thought of eating something nearby." Jiang Suining paused for a moment and looked at the man sitting opposite Wei Yao, "Wei Yao, who is this?"

"This is a friend of my uncle and aunt." Wei Yao introduced, and then introduced Jiang Suining to the man opposite, "This is Miss Jiang, my colleague on duty in the palace, and the one next to her is her brother."

"Jiang, Miss Jiang, Mr. Jiang, hello." The man greeted them stutteringly, his speech was very unskillful.

"Hello." Jiang Suining smiled and nodded without changing his expression. He looked at Wei Yao again. Feeling the helpless look from her, he thought for a moment and said, "Since we are friends, it is fate that we meet. Why don't we eat together?"
