Chapter 145: Playing Her
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Jiang Huai sat at the head of the table, so Tan Si naturally wanted to sit beside him. Jiang Huai pointed at the seat opposite him and said, “I don’t like to get too close to people I’m not familiar with. Miss Tan, please sit opposite me.”
Tan Si endured it. Since Jiang Huai had already said so, it would seem too pushy if she sat at the side again. She could only sit opposite Jiang Huai angrily.
The two of them were at least one meter apart from each other.
The waiter came in with the menu. Jiang Huai made an inviting gesture. “Miss Tan, just order.”
When Tan Si saw Jiang Huai’s actions, she felt better. She should have been treated with respect. What kind of attitude was that just now?!
Tan Si ordered four dishes and the waiter left.
Jiang Huai then asked, “You took the effort to ask someone to meet me and said that you wanted to talk to me about An’an. What’s the matter?”
Tan Si looked at Jiang Huai, who was opposite her, with his hands in his pockets. He did not have the self-awareness to pour tea for her at all. She was a little puzzled. What kind of taste did Tan Ming have to hook up with such an unromantic straight man?
Tan Si could only do it herself. “1 can’t bear to see you being deceived by her, so 1 wanted to ask you out and tell you the truth. Do you know An’an’s real name?”
Jiang Huai shook his head on purpose, so Tan Si brought up what she had said to Si Cheng. “Think about it. She’s a married woman with children. Now, she can enter the entertainment industry by getting close to you. Now, she can even make you spend a huge sum of money to fund a drama for her. Is such a person really as harmless as she looks?”
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. The waiter came in and served the dishes. “The dishes have been served. Please enjoy.”
The waiter left and closed the door.
Only then did the two of them take off the cover on their faces.
Jiang Huai looked at Tan Si and asked, “What’s your relationship with her? Why do you know so much about her?”
A look of worry appeared on Tan Si’s face. “Sigh, the family that adopted her was my parents. Since she was young, she always wanted whatever she wanted. She was domineering and selfish. My parents took pity on her background and never let me fight with her. But seeing her lie to you like this, 1 really couldn’t bear it.”
“You’re a top celebrity with a better future. She’s not even divorced now. If you’re with her, you’ll be criticized by others. The title of a male mistress is not good. If word gets out, your future will be ruined.”
Jiang Huai didn’t answer Tan Si’s question and changed the topic. “An’an did mention you to me, but I saw that the two of you didn’t get along and thought that she was joking with me.”
“However, I’m very puzzled. Since your family treats her so well, why did you marry her to Si Cheng, who was judged to have almost no chance of waking up? Moreover, 1 heard that your family’s business received a large sum of money after she married over.”
Tan Si was immediately stopped. She thought for a moment and said, “That was voluntary. She liked Si Cheng a long time ago.”
Jiang Huai raised his eyebrows and nodded. Not wanting Tan Si to speak, he changed the topic. “By the way, the last time we were on the set of ‘Windward*, you were the one who made a guest appearance, right?”
Tan Si did not expect that the other party would notice her even though she had only appeared for a short while. The smile on her face was a little smug. “Yes, I helped make a guest appearance.”
Jiang Huai continued, “That day when Si Cheng came to visit, everyone thought that you were a couple. 1 saw you run over and hug him. I even said that the relationship between the two of you seemed quite good. Later on, I found out that An’an was Si Cheng’s wife. It seems that you, as his sister-in-law, climbed into your brother-in-law’s bed.”
Tan Si’s face turned ashen when she heard Jiang Huai expose this matter without hiding anything. “Jiang Huai! Don’t go overboard!”
Seeing Tan Si’s expression, Jiang Huai’s expressionless face finally changed. He chuckled. “You even dared to seduce your brother-in-law and make him cheat and betray his family for you. You have the cheek to do such a thing. What’s there to be afraid of me saying?”
Tan Si could tell that Jiang Huai had come today to play her! “It seems like you’ve been charmed by Tan Ming. Are her words trustworthy?”
Jiang Huai shrugged. “I have eyes. Everyone in the production team knew that you were Si Cheng’s mistress that day. Don’t tell me you still think you can clear your name? You can lie to those people who are obsessed, but I don’t belong in that category.”
Tan Si gritted her teeth.. “You called me here today to humiliate me and avenge your lover, right?!”
