After the meeting, Xu Yanshu, as usual, escorted Qin Shengyi back to the Ouyang residence. As soon as Qin Shengyi entered the house, she saw Jiang Zhengyu sitting on the sofa.

"Brother, you're back again!" Qin Shengyi walked forward in a few quick steps and said in a light tone.

Seeing the undisguised joy in the other person's eyes, Jiang Zhengyu vaguely guessed what was going on, and turned to look outside with a serious expression.

"Who brought you back just now?"

Upon hearing this, an uneasy expression flashed across Qin Shengyi's face. She raised her eyes and glanced resentfully at the person sitting in front of her, thinking to herself, "Is this person afraid that if he doesn't speak, others will think he's mute?"

Having long been accustomed to the siblings' playful and teasing interactions, Ouyang Sheng naturally knew that Xu Yanshu had brought Shengyi back. He glanced at his wristwatch, then stood up from the sofa on his own.

"I have dinner plans with other people. You two siblings should stay home."

Qin Shengyi nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "Dad, you go ahead and do your work. I definitely won't bully Jiang Zhengyu."

Seeing his daughter's eager expression, Ouyang Ming couldn't help but feel a little jealous. It's true what they say, daughters grow up and leave home; she's only just started dating and she's already becoming distant from her own father.

He began to regret giving in so easily; he should have continued to observe the other party.

Jiang Zhengyu happened to notice this detail, but Sheng Yi himself was completely unaware, which made him feel both amused and exasperated.

Who would have thought that President Ouyang, who is a powerful figure in the business world, would have his moments of defeat? He is not only a devoted husband but also a doting father to his daughter.

He recalled the time when they first met; whenever Xu Yanshu was present, this girl would completely ignore him.

"The company has recently taken on several projects. Take a good look at them later and submit a summary report to me."

"Also, the security situation in Rongcheng has been bad lately, so don't go out after 8 p.m.!" Ouyang Ming couldn't help but say, his serious expression revealing no flaws, before striding out.

Is the area unsafe?

Qin Shengyi was a little confused. She had been back for several days and hadn't heard anything unusual.

Jiang Zhengyu couldn't help but chuckle softly. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Qin Shengyi, be more careful! Your uncle finally relented. Don't make him so angry that he shuts up again."

"How dare you say that!" Qin Shengyi turned and glared fiercely at Jiang Zhengyu. She stormed forward and said, "Dad hasn't fully accepted Yan Shu yet. Your words will affect his opinion of Yan Shu!"

"So you think that if I didn't mention it, your uncle wouldn't know that Xu Yanshu brought you back?"

"But……"

Jiang Zhengyu nodded solemnly and then spoke again, "As long as you tone down your infatuated behavior, your uncle won't have any more opinions about Xu Yanshu."

Yan Shu's execution ability was much stronger than he had imagined. Although his uncle said he would continue to consider it, he wouldn't have released him so easily if he didn't completely agree with Xu Yan Shu.

When did she start having a crush on someone?

Qin Shengyi frowned slightly, her whole demeanor becoming sullen. She had no intention of saying anything more to the other person, and turned to go upstairs into her room.

As was her habit, she locked the door and picked up her phone to complain to Xu Yanshu.

[Brother Yan Shu, that jerk Jiang Zhengyu is back again!]

About ten minutes later, the person on the other end finally replied: "Let's forgive him for now. As an old man who's never been in a relationship, it's understandable that he might feel envious and jealous for a moment."

Upon seeing the reply, Qin Shengyi burst out laughing. She never expected that Brother Yan Shu could be so humorous.

She raised her eyebrows slightly. That made sense. She would forgive Jiang Zhengyu this time.

Jiang Zhengyu, who had never been in a relationship, did not stay at the Ouyang residence. Instead, he went to the apartment rented by Xu Yanshu.

"That bastard Zhou Zehao hasn't given you any trouble lately, has he?"

Xu Yanshu shook his head gently. "No, it's probably because Zhou Shengyu came back."

That's alright.

Jiang Zhengyu nodded knowingly. Just then, He Wen also returned from outside. He mentioned another matter, "Xie Junyang's case will be closed soon, and he will be sentenced to death without any surprises!"

Her eyes suddenly lit up with excitement, and He Wenhan nodded before speaking, her tone seemingly laced with gritted teeth.

"A life for a life, he deserves this fate!"

Although it was an outcome he had long anticipated, Xu Yanshu still felt a great sense of relief at this moment, and the emotions between his brows became relaxed.

He was glad that he hadn't given up too easily during the game; otherwise, given Xie Junyang's cunning and ruthlessness, his fate might have been far more tragic than a death sentence.

Pulling himself back to his senses, Xu Yanshu was about to say something when his heart skipped a beat, and he furrowed his brows in unease.

Jiang Zhengyu, with his sharp eyes, noticed something was wrong.

"Yan Shu, what's wrong?"

Xu Yanshu waved his hand, unable to quite put his finger on it. He had a feeling that something big was about to happen.

Meanwhile, at the Zhou family villa, chaos erupted due to Shen Wei's sudden fainting. In the end, Zhou Shengyu was the first to calm down and call the family doctor.

"Mr. Zhou, please be prepared. Your wife may have stomach cancer. Further examination at the hospital may be necessary to determine the specific diagnosis."

Stomach cancer?

Zhou Zehao, who had rushed back from outside, happened to hear this and a strange look flashed across his eyes.
