Moreover, everyone tacitly attributed Jiang Tao’s changes to the added charm from his successful career.
Everyone thought they saw Jiang Tao through a "filter" effect.
That’s why they felt he looked more pleasing and handso.
But the truth was the most unlikely reason—Jiang Tao himself genuinely beca more handso!
The increase in charm points was not only a change in temperant but also so subtle adjustnts to his facial features.
However, these adjustnts were so skillful that they left no trace.
Looking at Jiang Tao’s face, Jiang Yi’s heart suddenly beat faster.
This feeling...
"If only, if only he weren’t married."
Jiang Yi was startled by her own thought.
She knew that having this thought ant she had feelings for Jiang Tao!
But she knew she must not act on it, never disrupt soone else’s marriage.
With this thought, Jiang Yi quickly turned her gaze from Jiang Tao’s face to the fast-receding street view outside the window.
"You don’t have to thank , helping you is also helping myself."
"If you work overti every day, who will tutor our Xiao Xue?"
Jiang Tao’s explanation left Jiang Yi indifferent.
Perhaps he was just trying not to make her feel overly indebted?
"In any case, thank you, thank you Jiang Tao."
"This ti you’ve helped a lot again."
Jiang Yi didn’t dare to look at Jiang Tao this ti, still gazing out the window, her gratitude towards him growing even more.
Last ti, he lent her the money she needed for her niece Jiang An’an’s surgery.
This ti, he again...
Could it be that he also...
When Jiang Yi considered that possibility, she quickly shook her head to dispel the thought.
"No need to be polite, we’ve known each other for so many years, we’re friends, right?"
"Helping each other out is what friends do."
"More friends an more paths, perhaps I’ll need Teacher Jiang’s help one day too."
"Actually, I already do, don’t I?"
"According to Xu Li, our Xiao Xue’s recent improvent in grades is entirely thanks to Teacher Jiang’s excellent guidance."
While driving, Jiang Tao steered the conversation towards a more relaxed topic.
"Ahem, it’s not really like that. It’s mainly because Xiao Xue is clever and quick to learn."
When the topic turned to children, Jiang Yi suddenly said:
"By the way, Jiang Tao, my brother and An’an have been wanting to invite you to dinner to thank you in person."
"When are you free? Let’s schedule a ti to have a casual al together."
Jiang Yi rembered what her brother asked her to do and seized the chance to bring it up with Jiang Tao again.
She had ntioned it to him before, but Jiang Tao declined, citing work obligations.
It’s been over ten days since she first proposed the dinner.
Jiang Tao never gave her a definite answer, probably having forgotten about it.
To Jiang Tao, this might just be a trivial matter.
But to Jiang Yi, her brother Jiang Hai, and her niece Jiang An’an, they would never forget this kindness in their lifetis.
Jiang Tao thought for a while, then finally brushed it off with a vague response:
"I’ve been quite busy lately, let’s talk again once this busy period is over."
He had lent Jiang Yi a significant amount of money without Xu Li’s knowledge.
Although he had no hidden agenda, simply investing in Jiang An’an for a future return, it was really difficult to explain to Xu Li.
"Oh..."
"It’s okay, your work is important."
Hearing Jiang Tao’s words, Jiang Yi smiled understandingly, but couldn’t help feeling a bit disappointed.
