Chapter 27

The next morning, the curtains in the room were drawn tightly, not letting in a single ray of light.

Jiang Xu was awakened by her biological clock. She subconsciously touched the edge of the bed. No matter whether the little guy Jiang You slept with her at night or not, he would appear in her bed early the next morning.

As soon as my fingers touched something, I moved towards it, intending to hug the person and give him a good rub. But as soon as I got closer, I realized something was wrong. How could this little guy suddenly grow so big? I couldn't hold him anymore...

Jiang Xu was startled and sat up quickly, with thousands of horses running through his mind, but the light in the room was too dim and he couldn't see anything clearly.

She tried to get out of bed to the other side, but she didn't stop and fell to the ground with a thud, waking up the person on the bed.

"Jin...Brother Jin?" After falling, her mind became clearer. She vaguely remembered what happened last night. She only remembered that she and Xu Zhixin and the others drank heavily.

"Yeah. I'm awake. Do you have a headache?" He Jin's voice was a little hoarse, as if he hadn't slept all night.

With the person he loves lying next to him, no matter how strong his concentration is, he still can't sleep all night, and only becomes a little drowsy when it is almost dawn.

Hearing the familiar voice, she breathed a sigh of relief, climbed onto the bed again, and snuggled into his arms familiarly, drowsily about to fall asleep again, "It doesn't hurt, I'm still sleepy."

She didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Her thoughts were no different from when she was drunk, and she never thought about hiding her lustful thoughts.

Seeing the girl dive into his arms again, He Jin pinched his brows, took out his cell phone and glanced at the time. It was not yet six o'clock. She was so drunk last night that it was hard for her biological clock to wake her up.

"Well, go to sleep." He patted her back gently and smoothed her hair, as if to comfort her.

Jiang Xu slept more peacefully than last night. She had originally planned to take a short nap, because she knew He Jin was still asleep when she heard his voice. She felt a little guilty for disturbing him so much last night, so she wanted to let him sleep a little longer. Unexpectedly, she fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow. She slept until noon, and was woken up by a phone call from Yu Jin.

She slowly reached out for her cell phone, glanced at the caller ID, and shuddered, immediately coming to her senses.

Yu Jin said, "Xuxu, we're having dinner with your aunt and the others tonight, so remember to come back early."

"I see." So that was what happened, a false alarm.

It was almost noon, the thick curtains were drawn open, leaving only a thin gauze curtain. He Jin's room was in black and white, and the sunlight coming in at this time made the whole room warm.

She lifted the quilt and prepared to get up, but found that the smell of alcohol had not yet dissipated. Although the smell of the clothes inside was not strong, it was still a bit unpleasant. She herself could not stand it. No wonder He Jin couldn't sleep last night.

As soon as she opened the door, she smelled a fragrance, like the smell of sweet and sour spare ribs. Her eyes lit up and when she looked up, she saw He Jin cutting vegetables in the kitchen. He was wearing a light blue apron and his hands were cutting vegetables very quickly and he looked very skilled. Everything was in order, not at all like what they said, that entering the kitchen was like going to the battlefield.

She opened the sliding door to the kitchen and peeked in.

Hearing the noise, He Jin turned around and asked, "Are you hungry?"

"Hungry." I was starving after sleeping for a whole morning.

While He Jin was washing his hands, she walked up to him, hugged his waist, and said with a giggle, "Brother Jin, you look so virtuous."

He Jin chuckled softly, slowly dried his hands, turned around and hugged her in his arms: "Virginity?"

Jiang Xu looked up at him with a smile, nodded heavily, then seemed to realize that the wording was wrong and shook her head.

Seeing this, the smile in He Jin's eyes became even brighter. He leaned over and kissed her lips twice, "Go out and wait."

Jiang Xu nodded, walked out, and slowly walked around the house. It seemed that nothing was missing, but it always felt empty, and there was no trace of life anywhere.

He Jin seldom mentioned his family matters, and if he didn't talk about it, she wouldn't ask. She vaguely knew that He Jin's family background was not that simple, and it might have something to do with He Yu, otherwise there would be no reason for him to keep pestering He Jin.

He Yu is from the He family, and He Jin...

"Jiang Xu, come and eat."

She came to her senses and immediately ran to the dining table, her eyes shining. Just as she was about to pick up the chopsticks, she was stopped: "Wash your hands first."

Then she was led to wash her hands. Seeing the colorful and delicious dishes, Jiang Xu's eyes lit up more than once. She was not picky about food and ate quickly, her cheeks bulging like a little hamster hiding food.

"Eat slowly, no one is going to snatch it from you." He Jin felt helpless when he saw the girl's puffy cheeks, but there was a look of doting between his eyebrows.

After the meal, Jiang Xu leaned back in his chair with satisfaction, looking at He Jin as if he had discovered a huge treasure and wished he could hide him.

The girl's eyes sparkled with stars. He rubbed her head and said, "I'll change your clothes and take you home."

"Then when can I come again?" Jiang Xu said bitterly.

He Jin rubbed the girl's head and said gently, "You can come anytime you want."

At night, the golden autumn sea.

Although the high-end restaurant in L City is expensive, it is still fully booked. Jiang is a regular customer of this place and has reserved a VIP box. However, Jiang Yuanshan usually entertains here, and it is rare to see Xu Zhongyuan book a room in this kind of restaurant.

As soon as Jiang Yuanshan and his men entered the room, Xu Zhongyuan and Yu Wan came forward to greet them and warmly invited them to sit down one by one.

The sisters Yu Jin and Yu Wan hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they chatted casually.

Xu Qinqin sat opposite, and except for calling someone when she first came in, she didn't say a word again. Jiang Xu was happy to be idle.

At home, little Jiang You always eats by himself, but when he goes out, he can't eat anymore and has to be fed by his sister. Jiang Xu just doesn't have much appetite, so she feeds him when she has nothing to do, which saves a lot of trouble.

After the pleasantries were almost over, Xu Zhongyuan drank the wine in his glass and thought for a while before speaking: "Brother, the project in S City is completed. It is estimated that it will be profitable by the end of this year."

"Okay." Jiang Yuanshan was indifferent. That was the business that he had handled and handed over to him. It should have been profitable long ago.

Xu Zhongyuan smiled nonchalantly and refilled Jiang Yuanshan's glass. He said casually, "Brother, I heard that Jiang's recently secured a new project in City Z. Let me take care of it. I've just gained some experience in City S."

In recent years, Jiang's business has grown bigger and bigger, expanding into several provinces and cities.

Jiang Yuanshan took a sip of his wine, his expression unchanged, and continued with a smile, "Zhongyuan, I've been taking my family to L City to rest for a while recently. You must be tired from running around. I'll go to this project in person after the New Year."

Xu Zhongyuan's hand that was picking up the food paused, his face froze for a moment, then he quickly recovered and nodded with a smile, looking nonchalant, as if they were just chatting after dinner.

Jiang Yuanshan tapped the table rhythmically with his fingers, his mind rarely free.

The Jiang Group was in a period of rapid development, and every project invested in had to be handled with caution, without any mistakes. The project in City S was invested early, and Jiang Yuanshan had already arranged it in the early stage. Xu Zhongyuan knew to let Yu Wan come to find Yu Jin, and only then did he let their company do it, with the help of several people he sent there, otherwise it would be far from being completed with his ability.

The parents of the two sisters Yu Jin and Yu Wan passed away early, leaving only the two of them at home. It is said that the eldest sister is like a mother. Yu Jin raised Yu Wan single-handedly. After they got married, even though they were short of money when they started a business with Jiang Yuanshan, she never treated Yu Wan unfairly and loved her very much.

But Yu Wan had a boyfriend when she was in college. Yu Jin didn't think much about it at first and supported them being together. At that time, her and Jiang Yuanshan's company had already started to improve.

When Yu Wan's parent met Xu Zhongyuan for the first time, she could see that he was a man with great ambitions but no action. He had a company, but it had not seen any improvement in several years. This was not a big deal.

But Yu Jin was worried. She just did a quick check and found out that Xu Zhongyuan had many women outside. He even had an affair with another girl when he was with Yu Wan. Yu Jin became angry with Yu Wan and did not allow them to be together. It was the first time in her life that she was so angry with her most beloved sister.

But Yu Wan denied it, saying that she knew Xu Zhongyuan promised her that he would break up completely and get married after graduation. Maybe it was because she had lived too carefree under Yu Jin's protection since she was a child, and she only wanted to pursue the love she longed for. She was even afraid that Yu Jin would stop her, so she secretly took the household registration book to get married.

Yu Jin was furious and did not attend their wedding. Yu Wan also became stubborn, as if to prove herself. She built up Xu Zhongyuan's company and proved to her sister that her choice was right. She did not take the initiative to bow her head to Yu Jin for several years.

After all, it was because of his sister who he raised since childhood that he couldn't bear it and secretly helped the couple behind their backs. However, Xu Zhongyuan was not ambitious and lost all his money in any project. After a few times, he no longer had the same enthusiasm as before.

A few years after giving birth to Xu Qinqin, she finally couldn't hold on any longer and came back to Yu Jin in a dejected state, crying and begging them to help Xu Zhongyuan's company that was on the verge of bankruptcy. Yu Jin softened her heart, and Jiang Yuanshan also said that he would help and take Xu Zhongyuan's company under his control so that the shares could be recovered. The relationship between the two sisters eased a little.

But he had only recently negotiated the project in City Z, so it was essentially a blank slate and could not be handed over to Xu Zhongyuan.

Jiang Xu had been paying attention to their conversation since they mentioned the company. When she heard about the project, she frowned slightly, and a few strange emotions flashed across her eyes. She glanced casually at Yu Wan. Although her strange emotion only flashed by, she still caught it.

Afterwards, Jiang Xu listened to their irrelevant conversations and felt a little impatient, so he told Yu Jin that he wanted to take Jiang You out for some fresh air.

Seeing them stand up, Xu Zhongyuan immediately winked at Xu Qinqin, asking her to follow quickly.

Although Xu Qinqin was reluctant, she still got up and went out together.

When she reached the door, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. She was thinking about the several projects that her uncle had asked her father to take over. They were all outside of L City and had just started, so they were easier to control.

Looking at the scenery outside the window, she became more and more annoyed the more she thought about it. She didn't believe that Lao Jiang couldn't see what she could see.

—"No." Jiang You suddenly came over and hugged her legs, shrank in front of her and refused.

Her thoughts were interrupted, and when she turned around, she saw Xu Qinqin holding a few lollipops in her hand, and her smile froze on her face.

Jiang Xu rubbed the little guy's face, as if he didn't think there was anything wrong.

"Cousin, I'm sorry about what happened last time. I was too emotional and hurt you. I'm sorry." Xu Qinqin lowered her head, looking like she was admitting her mistake obediently.

The person who lowered his body to apologize in front of him was completely different from the Xu Qinqin who had held her neck high before.

What on earth could make her bow her head like this?

Jiang Xu narrowed his eyes, looked at her for a few seconds, and said, "Well, it's okay."

This made Xu Qinqin pause for a moment, and after a few more awkward conversations, she turned and left.

Jiang Xu looked at her back, crossed his arms, and seemed to be thinking about something.

The door of the room closest to them at the end of the corridor opened, and people came out one after another.

Jiang Xu didn't care at first until she heard a familiar voice. She subconsciously looked up and saw He Jin walking out of the room, supporting an old man.

She had never seen him in formal attire before, but she didn't expect him to look even more alluring than his usual youthful self. The dark suit was extremely slim-fitting, outlining his long legs to perfection, and his tie was meticulously tied to the top. Unlike his usual unruly look, he seemed to be born with a noble and superior demeanor.

At this moment, he was slightly tilting his head and talking to the old man.

The men walking out from behind her were all in suits and ties, most of them were elderly. She always felt that the old man next to him looked familiar, but she couldn't see his face clearly. Before she had time to think about it, a girl suddenly walked out of the door. She was wearing a smart little suit and all white. At first glance, she looked a bit like someone who matched He Jin.

The girl walked forward as if wanting to get closer to He Jin and wanted to hold his hand, but he avoided her calmly and she almost tripped over her own high heels.

Jiang Xu felt something was wrong. He Jin never let other girls around him, but this one seemed impossible to refuse.

Seeing He Jin, she knew that this was a sign of her delicate flower's extreme impatience.

As she thought about it, she even felt a little worried for the girl, afraid that her delicate flower would not be able to control itself and break the girl's heart.

The girl seemed to notice her gaze and looked back at her, her eyes like a silent provocation.
