Chapter 837: Chapter 507: Wanwan’s Scheming or Stirring Trouble—Never Disappoints (Third Update)After Tang Wan finished talking about the handkerchief, Lin Luyou was a bit surprised and wide-eyed, but Jiang Shiyi seemed very natural, eating and selecting dishes without any change in expression.

A small ripple rose in his heart:

Could it be that his guess was wrong, and this handkerchief really was just something Leader Lin personally liked and had nothing to do with Third Brother?

Jiang Jinsang looked at Jiang Shiyi, ”Third Brother...”

”Hmm?”

”You’ve already quit, but you’re still dressed so formally for a meal out?” Normally for work, it could be excused, but for an ”unemployed person” to be so neatly dressed?

”I had an interview for a new job today.”

Lin Luyou bowed her head, initially thinking that if the topic of the handkerchief was diverted, she could breathe a sigh of relief. But how did the reopening of a topic end up involving her affairs again?

”How did it feel?” Tang Wan pursued, ”Did it go well?”

”It went okay...” Jiang Shiyi’s voice paused for a moment, ”I had a friendly academic exchange with the interviewer.”

Lin Luyou bit her lip, not daring to speak.

”You’re sure to have no problem finding a job, I wish you the best of luck.” Tang Wan raised her glass of juice. At this table, there was a pregnant woman and two drivers, so no one drank alcohol.

”Thank you for your good wishes, I also hope to join smoothly.”

Several people clinked glasses, afterwards chatting casually about family matters and some recent news; nothing particularly special.

...

The meal left Lin Luyou in a state of nervous tension.

”Leader Lin, sit for a while, I’ll get your handkerchief for you.”

After entering the room, Tang Wan helped her pack her wet clothes into a sealed bag and handed her the handkerchief, ”Is this the handkerchief? No mistake, right?”

Lin Luyou could feel that Jiang Shiyi was watching her the whole time, but she was stuck in a situation where she couldn’t back out, so she had to muster the courage to take the handkerchief, ”Thank you.”

”I’ve packed your clothes for you. I see it’s still raining heavily outside. Why don’t you stay and have some fruit, and leave when the rain lightens up.”

The rainwater beating against the glass made it indeed unsuitable to leave at the moment, so Lin Luyou had to wait as advised until the rain eased up a bit.

Four people sat in the living room and chose a sci-fi movie. Tang Wan and Jiang Jinsang sat close together on a double sofa, while Lin Luyou and Jiang Shiyi were separated on single sofas, sitting far apart.

As if they intended to use their actions to inform the couple that they weren’t familiar!

But the awkward atmosphere was palpable to everyone, and Lin Luyou distinctly felt the couple’s gaze turning increasingly peculiar towards her, especially when Jiang Jinsang handed his phone to Tang Wan, seemingly to share an amusing insight...

Tang Wan, after reading it, smiled at her.

What was going on?

It turned out Jiang Jinsang entered the testing lab’s official website using his phone, where they were recruiting; the interview time was precisely today. Though companies hold interviews daily, this timing was just too coincidental...

Third Brother had an interview today, coincidentally at the lab where Lin Luyou worked.

Seeing this, Tang Wan couldn’t help but smile and looked at Lin Luyou, her expression growing even more peculiar.

Lin Luyou pressed her lips tight...

Felt like the couple was conspiring something, and it surely involved her.

This gave her the illusion of having fallen into a den of thieves.

”Leader Lin,” Tang Wan spoke again.

”You don’t need to call me Leader Lin, it sounds odd privately. Just call me Youyou.” Lin Luyou’s face was calm.

But inside she felt a jolt, expecting something bad to happen.

Sure enough, she wasn’t let down by herself:

”Where did you buy your handkerchief? The quality is great, and the pattern is beautiful. I want to buy one too.”

”...”

Lin Luyou instinctively glanced at Jiang Shiyi, who was watching television. The movie had reached the scene where the male protagonist landed on an alien planet—tense storyline he seemed engrossed in.

”I bought this abroad, but I can’t remember exactly where...” One lie requiring another, Lin Luyou was not adept at lying, especially caught off guard being cued like this, and more importantly, with the owner of the handkerchief right next to her.

Lying in front of the handkerchief’s owner, was there anything more embarrassing?
