Chapter 358 We Are All Family

Poor Zou Hanming had no idea that he was being fleeced. When he heard Ye Wanxi say that, he knew that she really remembered him, and his eyes shone even brighter.

"It's good that Miss Ye remembers me. The last time I met Miss Ye was in Z City. I thought we would meet again soon, but I didn't expect that we would be separated for several months."

Zou Hanming mentioned that he felt a little regretful, as the last time he met Ye Wanxi was on a rural experience variety show that her family had invested in.

He had originally thought that with such a good opportunity, if the director of the show was a little quick-witted and invited Ye Wanxi to become a regular guest instead of a guest, he could take advantage of the situation and build a good relationship with her.

Who would have thought that the guy had been in the industry for too long and was full of utilitarian habits. His actions were fierce, but not only did he fail to invite Ye Wanxi, he also drove away several of the other regular guests.

When Zou Hanming learned of this, he flew into a rage and demanded that his father take back the investment.

Because of his relationship with the station director, Mr. Zou did not withdraw his investment, but only asked the station to replace the director.

But since then, the show has gone downhill, and the producers were unwilling to film the last few episodes, leading to its cancellation.

Although this matter cannot be blamed on Ye Wanxi, Zou Hanming instinctively felt that this outcome was inseparable from Ye Wanxi.

Especially after seeing Ye Wanxi participate in several programs and advertisements, which basically became popular, he became more and more certain of his thoughts and had more and more respect for Ye Wanxi.

Ye Wanxi had long forgotten about this matter. After hearing Zou Hanming's sigh, she smiled slightly and said, "When fate brings us together, we gather; when fate takes us apart, we part. When it's time to meet, we'll eventually meet even if we're at the ends of the earth. When it's not time to meet, even if you come here specifically to find us, you might miss each other. Mr. Zou, is there anything I can do for you today?"

Zou Hanming then remembered his business and hurriedly introduced the two people behind him to Ye Wanxi: "Miss Ye, please allow me to introduce you. These are my two good friends. This is Xiang Linsheng, my childhood friend and best buddy, whom I showed you a photo of before. And this is Ning Anquan, a friend of Linsheng and me."

"Hello."

Ye Wanxi had actually noticed Xiang Linsheng the moment the group entered. This was her second senior brother's younger brother in this life.

He looks a bit like his second senior brother, except he has dyed his hair brown, making him look younger and more lively.

Upon seeing Ye Wanxi's gaze fall upon him, Xiang Linsheng's face lit up with surprise: "I... I've heard my brother and A-Ming mention you. You saved me when I fell into the water during the earthquake. My brother also mentioned you to me. He said you're his adopted little sister, and even though we're not related by blood, you're just like us, his closest and dearest family."

When Xiang Linsheng first heard it, he was shocked and even suspected that Ye Wanxi was his parents' illegitimate daughter.

When Xiang Yueqi learned of this idea, this mother, who always put her family first and doted on her younger brother since he was a child, almost raising him as her own son, chased her brother all over the house with a feather duster for the first time.

Upon hearing his words, Ye Wanxi's expression softened instantly: "Second brother is also my closest relative in this world."

Xiang Linsheng's eyes brightened slightly: "Since my brother treats you like his own sister, and you treat my brother like your own brother, then we can be considered family. I'll reluctantly consider myself your brother. If you encounter any problems today and need help but it's inconvenient to ask my brother, you can come to me. If you're short of money, you can also ask me for it. Don't be shy."

Ye Wanxi chuckled, but then seemed to remember something and smiled, "No need for that. My second brother gave me quite a bit of... pocket money because of your situation."

"Speaking of this, do you... know that my second brother transferred many properties under his name to me?"

Even though Xiang Yueqi had previously emphasized that those houses were originally prepared for her and belonged to his private property, and that he had the absolute right to allocate them, it didn't change anything.

Ye Wanxi couldn't help but worry that her second brother was rashly handing over such a large sum of money to someone who wasn't related to their family by blood. Would his family members develop resentment towards him because of this?

Xiang Linsheng seemed surprised that Ye Wanxi would bring this up. After a moment of stunned silence, he said truthfully, "I know. My brother mentioned it to me and my parents before transferring those properties to you, and we had no objections. It's just a few houses. Since we're family, why be so petty? Don't feel pressured. Just accept it if my brother gives it to you."

"Just a few houses?" Ye Wanxi was taken aback for a moment, then her smile became much more genuine, and she said with a sigh of relief, "Then I'm relieved, thank you, sir."

Gao Min, who was pouring tea for the group, trembled slightly and looked at her artist with a complicated expression.

Wait, why are you calling me "brother" after just a few words? Kid, where's your integrity?!

But then she thought, what if someone just casually gave her hundreds of properties? No, she didn't ask for much, just a dozen or so.

You can call him not only "brother," but also "dad"!

Thinking about it this way, Gao Min instantly felt incredibly jealous.

Zou Hanming was equally envious. He had spent a long time trying to get close to Miss Ye with kind words, but this guy had managed to get her to call him "brother" in just a few words.

It's true what they say, comparisons are the thief of joy. Why isn't Brother Xiang his brother?

While Xiang Linsheng was happily acquainted with Ye Wanxi, he still kept his good brother's matter in mind. He took the initiative to pull Ning Anquan to his side and said, "Little sister, actually, we came here today mainly for Anquan's matter."

Ye Wanxi stared at Ning Anquan for a while. To be honest, he was quite handsome, with deep-set features and a high nose bridge. He looked a bit like a mixed-race person, the kind of high-class model face that girls like very much these days.

Unfortunately, he had dark circles under his eyes and his face was pale, making him look very haggard.

"A dark complexion indicates your wealth is leaking away; you've probably had a lot of bad luck lately."

Ning Anquan was stunned, his gaze towards Ye Wanxi was complicated and surprised.

Before he could even speak, Xiang Linsheng chimed in, "Yes, yes, An Quan has been having a lot of bad luck lately. His father suddenly passed away a month ago, and since then, things haven't been peaceful at home. The building he was contracted to build has also run into a series of troubles, and now it's almost forced to stop construction."

Ye Wanxi narrowed her eyes and suddenly asked, "Your father passed away a month ago?"

Ning Anquan nodded hesitantly: "Yes."

"How did he die?"

“He died of illness.” Ning Anquan paused, then added, “My father had heart disease, and he suddenly had a relapse a month ago and died.”

"Oh." Ye Wanxi suddenly asked again, "Are you sure he really died from a medical attack?"
