Jiang Yao's excuse was perfect. Jiang Lei did not feel as if anything was wrong, so he was happy to take the bus to the city with Jiang Yao.
Jiang Yao kept in contact with Ah Lu as she sat on the bus. When Jiang Lei saw his sister texting on the phone, he thought she was in contact with Lu Xingzhi, her husband. Therefore, when the bus arrived at the city bus station, he even made fun of Jiang Yao.
"Do you need to be in contact with your husband all day long? Luckily, the Lu family is rich. Otherwise, who would be able to afford your phone bill?"
Jiang Yao giggled; she did not bother to explain that Jiang Lei had misunderstood. She did not feel embarrassed about that. When she found out Yang Gaoshu's location, she pulled her brother to the biggest shopping mall in the city.
The last time Jiang Yao was at that shopping mall was with Lu Xingzhi. Ah Lu had just informed her that Yang Gaoshu was with the man on the third floor to look at men's clothing.
Jiang Yao laughed in her mind. The heavens were on their side. That couple was in the men's department; she did not need another excuse to go there.
"Let's go to the third floor first. I want to get a new set of clothes for Xingzhi as a New Year's gift, and then go buy his birthday present," Jiang Yao said as she pulled Jiang Lei to the third floor. She swept a few glances at the men's clothing brands on the third floor and then pulled Jiang Lei to a section for younger adults.
There was a sayingit was better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early.
The four of them met at the entrance.
They looked at each other. Yang Gaoshu had leaned on the man's shoulder as she smiled at him intimately. When Jiang Yao and Jiang Lei entered that section, the smile on her face froze for a second. Then, it was immediately replaced by panic.
The man next to her looked at the woman because he thought she was pretty.
"Yang Gaoshu." Jiang Lei stood at the door, his whole body stiff.
