Chapter 157 It would be nice if he were my brother-in-law
Damn.

My mouth moves faster than my brain.

Jiang Zhaohuan could feel that the atmosphere was getting weird. He awkwardly picked up a strawberry and put it in his mouth, not daring to look at Bae Juyeon.

He always felt that when he said this, it was like a disguised gesture of goodwill.

As for the person he really wants to show his goodwill to, it is undoubtedly another person.

Jiang Chaohuan's worries were correct, and Pei Zhuyan was really thinking the wrong thing.

She originally thought that her sister and Do Hwan were a good couple on Friday.

Now Zhaohuan actually wants to lend him money?
Oh my, does Do Hwan really like his own sister?

Pei Zhuyan had thought of eight hundred possibilities in her mind, but she came to only one conclusion!
That is - Kang Do Hwan is trying to please me so that he can pursue me more easily.

Pei Zhuyan originally planned to refuse, but after thinking about it carefully, this was indeed the best way.

Naturally, she would not take the money and not pay it back. She would be able to pay back part of it when she gets paid next month.

Pei Zhuyan did not hesitate. She took out her mobile phone and adjusted it to the page of the house rental software.

She pointed to the amount of money on it and began to explain that the rented house was also a very ordinary examination hall.

Jiang Zhaohuan frowned after seeing this, and he couldn't help but interrupt:

"Zhu Yanxi, I think we should live in a slightly better place? The environment in the examination hall is not good, it's a bit too harsh."

And since she is a girl, it would be better for her to live in a place with some security.

Pei Zhuyan looked embarrassed. She didn't want to live in the examination hall, but her finances didn't allow it.

"But I can't pay off my part-time job all at once, and the salary from tutoring isn't very high."

"You don't have to rush to pay me back, just pay me in installments, and you should rent a better house."

Pei Zhuyan was excited when she heard the word "installment", but she soon became alert again.

Could it be that Kang Do Hwan will make some requests later, such as unnie's contact information?

But wouldn't it feel like betraying my sister? Even though Do Hwan's conditions are very good, I can't do anything to betray my sister.

Jiang Zhaohuan took out a stack of cash from his wallet, put it directly on the coffee table, and said:
"This should be enough for you to rent an apartment. Also, here's my card number. If it's not convenient to meet in person, just wire the money."

"Yes, I will return the money to you as soon as possible."

Jiang Zhaohuan just smiled when he heard this. He stood up and walked to the entrance, and ordered them to leave:
"Then Zhu Yanxi should return to Daegu as soon as possible and work hard to earn back the lost credits."

"Yes, I will study hard."

After being sent out of the house, Pei Zhuyan was a little confused.

It’s that simple, you got the loan?

Wait a minute, could it be that Kang Do Hwan has no interest in unnie at all, and I am just overthinking it?
Pei Zhuyan stared at the huge sum of money in her hand for a while. It seemed that now was not the time for her to think about such things. She should find a way to return the money to him as soon as possible.

She hailed a taxi and headed to the station to take a ride back to Daegu.

While getting in the car, Bae Joo-yeon recalled what Kang Do-hwan had told her before he left.

Oh my god, I am obviously the older one.

She rolled her eyes and looked at the signature with her name on it.

Hehe, if unnie tries hard enough, it would be nice if Dohwan really becomes your brother-in-law.
-
At this time, Jiang Zhaohuan was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. He looked down at Bae Zhuyan who got into the taxi, and his heart was relieved.

He turned and walked towards the refrigerator, preparing to make a steak for himself.

But when Jiang Zhaohuan opened the door of the freezer, he found a red plastic bag inside.

He reached in and took out something, and found that it was dried pollack, which he didn't like to eat. It was strange, why was there dried pollack in the refrigerator?
It's impossible for me to have nothing to do and buy things I don't like to eat and put them in the refrigerator.

Jiang Zhaohuan thought about the time when he asked his agent to buy something for him. He called Che Chunhao and asked directly after the call was connected:
"Brother Chunhao, did you forget that the dried pollack is in my refrigerator?"

"Dried pollack? Mo? No, I haven't bought any."

Jiang Zhaohuan took out the steak he was going to use and put it in the microwave to thaw.

He directly adjusted the phone to hands-free mode and asked:
"Didn't I ask you to help buy the ingredients last week? Could it be that you bought it then?"

"Ah~ Maybe the clerk made a mistake. If you don't want to eat it, just leave it there. I'll take it away another day."

"Yeah, brother, don't forget, I don't like this thing."

"Hahahaha, I will definitely not forget it."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Zhaohuan turned and walked into the living room, and read the script for a while while the steak was still thawed.

As a result, as soon as I picked up the script, my cell phone, which had not been turned off in time, started ringing.

He frowned slightly, staring at the unfamiliar string of numbers, guessing it was another call from a stalker fan.

Jiang Zhaohuan threw his phone aside with a headache. As soon as he turned on the phone, the fans would call him, as if they were monitoring his phone.

Don’t these people have their own lives?

Staring at other people's phones every day is really like having nothing to do after eating.

He was in a bad mood and could hardly concentrate on the script.

Kang Do-hwan had no choice but to turn off his work phone and log into KakaoTalk using his personal phone.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I went up, I received a message from Minatozaki Sana.

The message was sent a minute ago, which is quite a coincidence.

[Grapefruit Soda (Minatozaki Sana)]: Cho Hwan, are you coming out for dinner?
Our trip for today has ended and we are on our way back to the dormitory!
Jiang Zhaohuan showed a helpless expression. A long time had passed, but she was still thinking about treating him to a meal.

It’s not easy to have a meal as an artist, but it would have been much better if we hadn’t gone out alone.

Spider-Man (Kang Do-hwan): Sure, but I’ll treat you.

[Grapefruit Soda (Minatozaki Sana)]: Eh? Why? Can't Noona treat you to a meal?

Spider-Man (Kang Do Hwan)：Aren't you guys exhausted recently? I'm sorry I didn't congratulate you guys on your big comeback.

When Minatozaki Sana saw this, she couldn't help but wrinkled her nose and thought: Is this how you change the subject?
She wanted to treat everyone to dinner simply because she wanted to be alone.

But if it was Do Hwan who treated the group, he would most likely ask to bring a few more members along.

Never mind. Now is not the time to be alone.

[Grapefruit Soda (Sanaka Minatozaki)]: Okay then~ I remember your movie will be released this year, right?
Humph, I will definitely book the entire theater to support you then!
[Spider-Man (Kang Do-hwan)]: So I’d like to say hello in advance, Kang Sang-mida?

I'm calling to order from the Japanese restaurant in Jamsil-dong now. You can bring any members who want to come with you.

Minatozaki Sana stared at the phone screen and pouted helplessly.

Sure enough, it was exactly what I thought. It was really easy to guess what Zhao Huan was thinking.

[Grapefruit Soda (Sanaka Minatozaki)]: OK~ I'll go back to the dormitory and wait for my agent to leave, then I'll come over.

While looking for the phone number of the Japanese restaurant, Jiang Zhaohuan threw the thawed steak into the refrigerator.

In order not to waste food, it is better to treat the steak as a midnight snack.

He picked up the car keys and drove to Jamsil-dong.
