Cheng Yanzheng finally deigned to look at him.

For some reason, Xia Zicheng felt a chill on the back of her neck.

He didn't think he had stepped on any landmines.

Look at his wife, what's wrong with her? People have faces to be seen, and he wouldn't have any improper thoughts about her.

Unfortunately, his idea was destined to be unsupported.

Cheng Yanzheng seemed not to hear him, his gaze fixed intently on Jiang Tian and his sister.

To ease the awkwardness, Xia Zicheng could only shrug helplessly.

He had no choice but to go to the lounge this time, otherwise he was afraid that Cheng Yanzheng would beat him up if he stayed with his cousin any longer.

My cousin's cold face is quite intimidating.

Xia Zicheng's sister and Jiang Tian talked for another hour before ending their conversation.

"Thank you so much, Emily. You absolutely have to come to my wedding."

Xia Zicheng's older sister looked very happy.

During the discussion, Jiang Tian always put her needs first and never interfered with her inexplicable fantasies.

Faced with her gentle and tolerant gaze, even the usually carefree Xia Jie became soft-spoken.

"Okay, I will definitely be there. I will make a finished product of the wedding dress first, and then make any modifications if there are any parts I am not satisfied with."

After Jiang Tian shook hands with the other person in a friendly manner, their conversation finally came to an end.

Xia Zicheng was almost impatient to leave.

His cousin was unpredictable, and he really didn't want to be a punching bag for no reason.

After saying goodbye to Cheng Yanzheng, Xia Zicheng's sister led her younger brother out of the studio.

Why do you look so listless?

Xia Zicheng's older sister looked at her brother's state with some confusion.

“I asked my cousin for a picture of his wife so I could see what she looks like. I was thinking that since we live in different cities, my relationship with my cousin has always been rather distant. But my parents have always told me to try to get along with him. Now that we've finally gotten together, I brought up the topic for the sake of social etiquette… but I didn't expect him to be so resistant. He even ignored me for the rest of the conversation. I don't know what to do.”

Xia Zicheng's older sister's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but slap her brother hard on the back of the head: "What's wrong with you? If you want to ask him about these things in the future, ask me first! He and his wife have been separated for so long, they might have already gone through the divorce proceedings in private. Who are you trying to embarrass by bringing this up publicly?"

Xia Zicheng, who had been hit, was somewhat confused: "Why do you want a divorce? Didn't I hear that his wife is recuperating abroad?"

"There aren't so many reasons for marriages in high society. They got together in the first place to complete that project, and now that project has made both families incredibly wealthy, so there's no need for this marriage anymore. Even if it's perfectly dissolved, no one will say anything wrong!"

Xia Zicheng's older sister clearly knew much more than her younger brother.

Why do they treat marriage with such disrespect?

"What kind of true love can you find in the world of the wealthy? I'm going to marry your brother-in-law not only because he was my crush during my teenage years, but also because his family is incredibly wealthy. Respect for marriage means being decisive when necessary. So many people get married and then go their separate ways, leaving their children in an unstable environment. Their divorce is a good thing for both of them."

"I don't agree." Xia Zicheng felt an inexplicable resistance.

In his eyes, marriage is a very solemn matter; one must find someone they love and absolutely cannot be too utilitarian.

His parents kept urging him to find a good girl to marry, but he resisted because he wanted to find someone he liked.

Cheng Yanzheng treated marriage as a transaction, which made his impression of him somewhat decline.

Xia Zicheng's sister looked at him with a puzzled expression: "Didn't you always know that your cousin's marriage was a business arrangement?"

"A business marriage is one thing, but getting along is another. I thought their feelings for each other would gradually grow as they spent time together, and they would become a suitable couple. He didn't divorce her when his wife was seriously ill, so why is he getting a divorce now? Isn't this too unfair to his wife?"

Xia Zicheng's older sister doesn't understand what her brother is thinking.

However, she knew very well that her younger brother had been spoiled by everyone in the family since he was a child.

In his eyes, the world should develop in the way he imagines.

Even though he is now in his twenties or thirties, he is still a child at heart, longing for a world that is forever pure.

"For people like them, marriage and divorce are child's play. He's already gained a lot of goodwill by supporting his wife's treatment, what more could he want? Besides, his wife is seven years older than him, and I heard she's not very good-looking; the two aren't a good match. He's a top-notch man; finding another one would be a piece of cake. To both families, he's already considered a very responsible man. Moreover, if they really divorce, his wife will get a lot of assets. They didn't sign a prenuptial agreement."

Xia Zicheng's expression was a little unpleasant; it seemed that this matter had caused him some inexplicable distress.

Xia Zicheng's older sister dotes on her younger brother.

She reminded her brother, "Don't worry about so much. I asked you to work at his company, not to pry into his private life. The Xia family is no match for Cheng Yanzheng. He's willing to call you cousin, but don't actually consider yourself a relative of his. Can't you find a better way to position yourself?"

His family members were ruthless in their teaching and discipline of his younger brother.

Xia Zicheng's older sister was afraid that her brother would cause more trouble, because the Xia family recently wanted to discuss a collaboration with Cheng Yanzheng.

It has to be said that among the big shots the Xia family knows, Cheng Yanzheng is a very reliable person.

Compared to others, Cheng Yanzheng has more resources and projects at his disposal. He is generous, stable, and reliable. You don't have to worry about being scammed when you cooperate with him.

The area that the Xia family is about to develop happens to be Cheng Yanzheng's area of ​​expertise, so naturally they want to cultivate a good relationship with him.

If my younger brother ruins the family's important business, the whole family will never let him off the hook.

Seeing that her sister was indeed angry this time, Xia Zicheng had no choice but to swallow her words.

However, Xia Zicheng didn't think that her cousin and his wife had gotten divorced.

Cheng Yanzheng's expression told him that his story with his wife was definitely not over yet.

So, do you have any photos?

After going around in circles, Xia Zicheng still wanted to see what his cousin's wife looked like.
