Chapter 701 - 214 Goodbye_2
Jiang Li said, "It really makes one envious."
Yin Zhili smiled and said, "Miss Jiang the Second also has siblings."
Jiang Li just smiled without speaking. If they were talking about Xue Fangfei, of course, she had a deeply affectionate brother who was willing to lay down his life for her. But if it was Jiang Li, she had no full-blooded brothers or sisters. She only had sisters like Jiang Youyao and Jiang Yue, who were full of schemes and would not hesitate to wish for her death. How could such relationships be considered deeply affectionate?
Yin Zhili probably knew about the situation in the Jiang Family and realized he had said something wrong. His face turned slightly red, and just as he wanted to change the subject, he suddenly noticed the fan in Jiang Li’s hand. That fan had been a gift from Yin Zhiqing to Jiang Li, who had started using it recently due to the hot weather. The fan’s handle felt cool to the touch, and the breeze it created was refreshingly cold, making it comfortable to use.
"Miss Jiang the Second is already using this fan?" Yin Zhili said with a smile, "I thought Miss Jiang the Second wouldn’t use it."
"This fan is very nice, and it is comfortable to use. I must thank the princess," replied Jiang Li. By saying "princess," regardless of whether the fan was actually chosen by Yin Zhili, but as it was presented in the name of Yin Zhiqing, Jiang Li used it without any burden and it didn’t affect her reputation.
She was also reminding Yin Zhili.
It was unclear whether Yin Zhili truly didn’t understand or pretended not to understand, but he simply smiled and said, "As long as Miss Jiang the Second likes it. In the future, if Miss Jiang the Second ever needs anything, she can look for me or Zhiqing. We will not refuse to help."
Jiang Li looked at him with amusement, "Young Master Yin is truly too courteous, others might criticize this behavior."
"They should not," Yin Zhili said, "Because Miss Jiang the Second is a friend of mine and Zhiqing’s."
He spoke with a smile, his demeanor gentle and his focused gaze on Jiang Li warm and crystal clear. Jiang Li felt uncomfortable under his stare and turned her head away. She remained silent, not responding to Yin Zhili’s words, because she truly didn’t know what to say. But inside, she suddenly felt tense. In the few encounters she had with Yin Zhili, he always maintained proper etiquette. Although Jiang Li knew that both the Yin Household and the Jiang Family were in favor of this marriage, it was impossible to discern Yin Zhili’s attitude from his behavior.
