To marry into the family in place of his brother? Impossible!

Zhang Nan, standing next to Chen Ling Shuang, suddenly looked up at her, her eyes filled with panic.

Chen Ling Shuang pursed her lips, her voice lowered, tinged with a hint of grievance and drunkenness: "After coming to university, I wrote you letters, but you didn't reply to a single one. Do you hate me?"

The room fell silent, and Zhou Qian and the other two women stared in astonishment, their mouths agape.

Zhou Qian asked Wang Lin beside her, "Linlin, what does Ling Shuang mean by that? Does Ling Shuang mean that she and Jiang Jinhuan were already a couple a long time ago, and that they only started dating now?"

Wang Lin said, "Judging from Ling Shuang's aggrieved look, it seems their relationship wasn't just that of ordinary classmates!"

Jiang Jinhuan's two roommates, Sun Hao and Lao Zhou, also looked at Jiang Jinhuan in surprise. "Jinhuan, you and Ling Shuang knew each other back in high school?"

Chen Ling Shuang's questioning words sounded rather off no matter how you looked at them.

These aggrieved words sound like a girlfriend whining and questioning her boyfriend!

Jiang Jinhuan frowned, put down his chopsticks, and looked at her seriously: "When did you write me that letter? I've never received one."

Chen Ling Shuang was taken aback: "Didn't receive it? How is that possible?"

Jiang Jinhuan, seeing that Chen Ling Shuang didn't seem to be lying, continued, "What's the address? Where did you send it? Did you fill in the address incorrectly?"

Chen Ling Shuang's tone was somewhat anxious, and her eyes were even redder, "Sent a letter? I didn't send a letter. I was afraid it would get lost, so I gave it directly to Zhang Nan. He's your roommate..."

Chen Ling Shuang suddenly fell silent.

She turned to look at Zhang Nan, as if she had realized something.

Jiang Jinhuan's gaze also turned to Zhang Nan.

The air around the barbecue table seemed to freeze.

Everyone looked at Zhang Nan, their eyes filled with doubt and uncertainty!

Zhang Nan's movements stiffened slightly, but she quickly returned to normal.

"Zhang Nan?" Jiang Jinhuan asked in confusion, "You gave me a letter?"

Zhang Nan put down her wine glass and smiled. "Jin Huan, I did indeed send you a letter, perhaps you've forgotten!"

Jiang Jinhuan narrowed his eyes: "Is that so?"

At this moment, Sun Hao suddenly said, "Jin Huan's memory has always been excellent. How could he not know something so important? Zhang Nan, did you really give the letter to Jin Huan?"

Everyone looked at Zhang Nan with suspicion.

Jiang Jinhuan looked at Zhang Nan and suddenly said, "Perhaps I've forgotten!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Nan visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

I thought that was the end of it.

"Ling Shuang said there were several letters, Jiang Jinhuan, have you forgotten them all?" Zhou Qian suddenly asked.

Jiang Jinhuan tapped his fingers on the table, then looked at Zhang Nan again.

Chen Ling Shuang said, "I know Jin Huan. If he says he didn't receive it, then he really didn't receive it."

Chen Ling Shuang looked at Zhang Nan: "Zhang Nan, let's put the letter aside for now. Did you give him the food I asked you to bring to Jin Huan, and the five thousand yuan I top up his meal card every month?"

"He even brought food and a gift? He even topped up Jin Huan's meal card?" Sun Hao exclaimed. "Impossible, absolutely impossible. I've eaten breakfast with Jin Huan for so many years, and I've never seen him eat food brought by someone else."

Old Zhou chimed in, "Indeed, I haven't seen it either! And Jin Huan has always lived frugally, working part-time to support himself. The money in his meal card has never exceeded two hundred, how could it possibly be over five thousand?"

"So, where did all those gifts, breakfasts, and the money on the meal cards go?"

Sun Hao looked at Zhang Nan: "Zhang Nan, aren't you going to explain?"

Zhang Nan's expression changed, and the fake smile on her lips finally crumbled.

Jiang Jinhuan looked at Chen Ling Shuang in surprise, "So, you brought me food? Bought me gifts? And even topped up my meal card every month?"

Seeing Jiang Jinhuan's bewildered expression, everyone present knew exactly what had happened.

The matter of the letter could be attributed to the passage of time, and it's possible that the letter was genuinely forgotten.

However, the matter of the meals, the gifts, and the money for topping up the meal cards cannot be simply forgotten.

Jiang Jinhuan raised an eyebrow and looked at Zhang Nan, as if he were seeing him for the first time.

He didn't say anything, but he said everything!

Clearly, Zhang Nan hadn't even delivered these meals to Jiang Jin Huan!

"So, where did all these things go?"

"He didn't give any of these things to Jin Huan? Then did he really give him those letters?"

Sun Hao suddenly slammed his hand on the table: "Holy crap, I remember now!"

Everyone looked at him.

Sun Hao frowned, looking as if he had just realized something: "Back in my sophomore year, one day I saw Zhang Nan tearing things up downstairs in the dormitory, and then throwing them in the trash can."

I asked him what he was tearing, and he said it was scrap paper. Now that I think about it... it looked like a letter! The envelope was even light blue! I saw the character "Huan" on it, but I didn't think of Jin Huan.

I never imagined Zhang Nan would go back and tear up the letter she gave to Jin Huan!

Chen Ling Shuang's face turned pale instantly.

She looked at Zhang Nan, her lips trembling slightly: "Zhang Nan...you tore up my letter? So Zhang Nan, you didn't give him the letter I wrote to Jin Huan, did you? And you didn't give him the money I asked you to use to top up his meal card, did you?"

Zhang Nan fell silent.

The only sound at the barbecue stand was the crackling of charcoal.

A few seconds later, he suddenly laughed, a laugh that was somewhat sinister and carried a hint of ferocity!

"Yes, I tore it up." He put down his wine glass, looked at Chen Ling Shuang, and said, "Chen Ling Shuang, you should know how I've treated you all these years. Why have you never even glanced at me?"

Chen Ling Shuang was stunned.

The others also looked at Zhang Nan in shock.

Sun Hao said, "Damn it, Zhang Nan, so you admit that you didn't give those letters to Jin Huan, and you even intercepted those gifts, the breakfast that Ling Shuang was supposed to give Jin Huan?"

Zhang Nan, in a fit of despair, said, "That's right, I didn't give him the letter, I ate the breakfast myself, and as for the gifts, I didn't give them to Jiang Jinhuan either, I did it on purpose."

Ling Shuang, I clearly care more about you, I like you more, so why are you so concerned about that poor wretch Jiang Jin Huan?

Everyone looked at Zhang Nan in shock, and seeing his somewhat deranged face, they couldn't help but feel disgusted.

Meiqi suddenly said, "So, the reason why Ling Shuang and Jin Huan were so estranged during their four years of university, and why they couldn't clear up their misunderstandings, is entirely because of you?"

"My God, Zhang Nan, why did you do this?" Zhou Qian and the others simply couldn't believe that Zhang Nan was such a shameless scoundrel!

Zhang Nan's voice was filled with resentment and anger, "He's just a poor kid from the countryside, his family has nothing. Why should you bring him food and pay for his meal card? What right does he have?"

He abruptly turned to Jiang Jinhuan, pointing at him: "And you, what makes you think you're so special? What makes you so special that she's so hung up on you? What do you have that I don't? Why does she write you letters, why does she bring you breakfast, why does she secretly give me money and top up your meal card?"

The barbecue stand was so quiet you could hear the wind.

Sun Hao said, "So, Zhang Nan, you ate all that breakfast? What about the money for topping up your meal card?"
