The Cheng and Jiang families were set for a commercial marriage alliance. Outsiders all said that since both families were old acquaintances, and Cheng's young master and Jiang's eldest dau...
Chapter 15 Chapter 15 "One Hundred Rules for Men to Chase Their Wives"...
Ever since he was kicked out of the house that morning, Cheng Shuze has never returned.
Firstly, he didn't want to go back; secondly, he couldn't go back.
He didn't believe that Ms. Ding Qing didn't go to the Jiang family to inquire about the situation, but there has been no news recently, and Jiang Yiyu has not returned to Yujiangyuan. If it weren't for the fact that her entire floor of clothes and jewelry, which were more precious than her life, were still there, he would really think that they had really parted ways and lived happily ever after.
It's impossible to get a divorce quietly like this. Don't even think about it.
After a romantic setback, Cheng Shao finally poured his boundless energy into his limited work, causing quite a stir within the group. Cheng Shao, who had never been enthusiastic about work, suddenly became an extremely demanding workaholic. Even after working overtime, his colleagues at the group secretly sought He Yue's advice on the vice president's recent bad temper.
He Yue was extremely annoyed. His statement that it was forbidden to discuss the vice president's private life during working hours inadvertently confirmed the rumor that the prince of their group was kicked out by his wife.
The project manager quietly found He Yue, stuffed a book with a cover into his hand, and said earnestly: "He Zhu, why don't you try to persuade Mr. Cheng to think more positively? Sleeping in the office all the time is not a solution."
He Yue opened the cover, and the large, gold-plated black font caught his eye. "One Hundred Rules for Men to Chase Their Wives"
He Yue: “…”
"What are you doing?" Cheng Shuze looked at him calmly from behind the door. The manager felt his skin tighten, and He Yue subconsciously hid the damn book behind him.
"Mr. Cheng, we're discussing the details in a video conference in half an hour."
He Yue answered cautiously, and after the person left, he stuffed the book back into the person's arms.
"Take it, take it. You'll need it. Trust me."
"I don't believe you. Why don't you take it to Mr. Cheng yourself?"
"I don't dare. It's better for you to have a good relationship with Mr. Cheng."
"Take the book back and prepare for the meeting."
Of course, there was still some news about Jiang Yiyu outside of work, but the process of finding out was rather tortuous.
I heard Yang Han mention it once, and saw Cheng Shuyi’s circle of friends through Yang Han’s mobile phone, which showed her and Jiang Yiyu’s travel photos.
The sun is shining, spring is in the air, and they are so close to each other, looking like real sisters, and you can't tell at all that they are just aunt-in-law.
"Not only your sister, Sister Jiang also sent one that day. You didn't see any of it?"
Cheng Shuze opened his phone and clicked into the Moments of two people respectively, with a conspicuous horizontal line on each side.
Yang Han silently shut his mouth and stayed away from Mr. Cheng, who just realized that he had been blocked.
"Sister, what's wrong with my brother? Tell me and I'll go back and beat him up." After trying on clothes and waiting for the clerk to pack, Cheng Shuyi took Jiang Yiyu's arm and acted coquettishly.
"It's not a big deal. Children don't need to worry about these things." Jiang Yiyu smiled and let Cheng Shuyi shake her arm.
"So, who do you like more, my brother or Ling Jingzhi?" Cheng Shuyi continued to ask, "You must choose a handsome boyfriend. I think Ling Jingzhi is pretty average."
That legend has been pursuing Sister Jiang since high school. She has met Ling Jingzhi, her brother's biggest rival in love, once before. He is not as good-looking as her brother and has an average temper. From an objective point of view, she thinks he is far inferior to her brother. With these conditions, he is still far from being able to pursue her sister.
"Why are you concerned about this now?" Jiang Yiyu tapped her forehead. "Do you want to fall in love?"
"I'll date someone if there's one who's better looking than my brother." Cheng Shuyi muttered. Although Cheng Shuze had a bad temper and had been arguing with her since they were young, it had to be said that among all the young men in this group, her brother was actually the most outstanding.
Because Young Master Cheng had been kind enough to come to school to pick her up a few times, she'd been receiving love letters from people who'd come all the way to her school. She'd been furious and torn them up on the spot, angrily claiming her brother was already married, and even showing the wedding photos that had gone viral, didn't work. And yet, someone even came to ask who was prettier, her or her sister-in-law.
Bullshit, Sister Jiang is the prettiest girl in the world.
As she was muttering to herself, her brother called again, looking haunted.
Jiang Yiyu was sitting next to her. When she saw the caller ID "My brother is a bastard", she raised her eyebrows and looked away.
Cheng Shuyi pouted and picked up the phone: "Hello, who is it?"
"Where are you?" Cheng Shuze ignored her pretending to be stupid.
"I'm playing outside with my classmates, and you still want to control me?"
"Who's next to you?"
Coincidentally, the clerk brought a few pairs of earrings for them to choose from. Cheng Shuyi picked out a pair she liked and then lowered her voice.
"I already told you I'm your classmate. Why are you so free today? Don't you have a meeting?"
"The G family on the first floor of Jiuzhong Road?"
"How did you know?" Cheng Shuyi was shocked.
"I'm at the door."
Cheng Shuyi leaned over the sofa and turned her head to see her brother getting out of a business car across the street. He was wearing a black shirt with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, outlining his slender figure.
After a howl, Cheng Shuyi pulled Jiang Yiyun back and said, "Sister, hurry up, my brother is chasing us."
Her brother wouldn't have figured out so quickly that he'd blocked her from all the social media posts she'd posted about hanging out with Sister Jiang. She hadn't gotten anything out of Sister Jiang's insinuations today, and it was clear she was still mad at him. It would be fine if he'd repented, but he clearly hadn't realized his mistakes at all. If they were to meet and start arguing, wouldn't that be a shame for her, a mere child?
Jiang Yiyu had just chosen her earrings when Cheng Shuyi dragged her to her feet. Turning around, she saw the man she hadn't seen for a few days walking straight towards her, greeted by the shop assistant.
As soon as he entered the store, Cheng Shuze's eyes fell on the tall and beautiful figure. He hadn't seen her for a few days. The heartless person seemed to be living a more carefree life than anyone else and was even in the mood to go shopping.
His eyes swept across Jiang Yiyu's bare fingers, and Cheng Shuze pulled the corner of his mouth open and said lightly: "Miss Jiang, how are you?"
The name "Miss Jiang" sounded particularly sinister to Jiang Yiyun. She replied with a forced smile, "Mr. Cheng, long time no see."
After the greeting, there was silence for a while. The shop assistants looked at the handsome man and beautiful woman, who seemed to be about to quarrel, so they lowered their heads and went about their own business, pretending not to see anything. Cheng Shuyi blinked and half of his head popped out from behind Jiang Yiyu.
Almost forgetting that this girl was there, Cheng Shuze crossed his arms and said calmly, "Please forgive me, Miss Jiang, I came here to take my sister away. Since they are divorced, it is not appropriate for her to stay with her ex-sister-in-law all the time, so as to avoid misunderstandings among those who don't know the facts."
Cheng Shuyi instantly wrapped his arms around Jiang Yiyu like a koala.
"Shuyi is already an adult. She can go wherever she wants and see whoever she wants. Her parents don't care. As her brother, I'm afraid Mr. Cheng can't do that. As for the rumors, since Mr. Cheng is now concerned about being associated with me, if someone asks, he can come forward and clarify it personally. There's no misunderstanding at all."
"Ms. Jiang, don't you realize that the more you clarify this misunderstanding, the more people will spread rumors without reason? And why would I even hold a press conference to explain such a trivial matter? It's better to cut it off at the source and save everyone from being plagued by rumors."
"No matter how big the misunderstanding is, it won't be more misleading than Mr. Cheng spending a huge sum of money to buy the ring back at the auction, right?" Jiang Yiyu sneered.
"I just can't stand some people who clearly don't have much ability but still try to take advantage of others and put on a self-satisfied face. Even if others have misunderstood, please don't misunderstand, Miss Jiang. Just be moved by the white moonlight who is deeply in love with you." Cheng Shuze paused. In front of so many people, this argument was too boring. He frowned and called Cheng Shuyi, "Come here."
Cheng Shuyi shook his head violently: "I'm not going."
"Cheng, Shu, Yi." Cheng Shuze said word by word, "Come here now."
"I won't. Sister Jiang has already said why do you care about me?"
"I'm your brother."
"You don't have to be."
"Cheng Shuyi! This is the last time. Can you come over?" Seeing Cheng Shuyi almost hanging on Jiang Yiyu, Cheng Shuze nodded and said, "Okay, you don't have any pocket money this month."
"After all, Mr. Cheng doesn't really care about his sister." Jiang Yiyu patted Cheng Shuyi's hand, "It's just some pocket money, I..."
"Miss Jiang, are you going to kidnap my sister right in front of me?"
"If Mr. Cheng doesn't agree, here." Jiang Yiyu raised her chin and gestured for him to look at the large bags on the cashier's counter. "Check out."
Cheng Shuze sneered, took out a black card and threw it to the clerk.
Jiang Yiyun turned to Cheng Shuyi and raised her eyebrows, suggesting, "Which pair of earrings do you like?"
Cheng Shuyi rolled his eyes and said, "I like them all."
"Then pack it all up." Jiang Yiyun indicated, "Mr. Cheng will pay for it."
They bought a ton of things in the store, even earrings, which each of them had originally only picked out as a pair. Jiang Yiyun took the initiative, but Cheng Shuyi tricked her brother into buying them all. When it was time to leave, Cheng Shuyi couldn't carry the things by herself, so Cheng Shuze called and asked the driver to help pick them up.
After putting all the things in the back seat of the car, Cheng Shuyi raised his hand to close the car door. Turning around, he saw Jiang Yiyu folding her arms and looking to the left, and Cheng Shuze folding his arms and looking to the right. They were clearly standing in a straight line, but their faces were facing two different directions, and no one was paying attention to each other.
The direct sunlight at noon cast blurry shadows directly on the dark and bright car window. As the light and shadow twisted, and with her in mind, a word suddenly popped up in Cheng Shuyi's mind: a harmonious family of three.
She looked both ways and finally decided to join them with her arms folded. This way the shadows seemed a little more harmonious. Cheng Shuyi stared at the car window in a daze, thinking.
Silence stretched for more than ten minutes. Even the driver silently rolled up the window and stopped asking unnecessary questions. Finally, Cheng Shuze spoke first: "Go home."
Cheng Shuyi reflexively retorted: "I won't reply."
"I wasn't talking to you." Cheng Shuze said impatiently.
Cheng Shuyi shut his mouth consciously.
"Let's eat." Jiang Yiyu put one hand on her forehead to block the sun and began searching on the billboards on the street.
"What a trouble." Cheng Shuze snorted coldly.
"You don't have to come if you don't want to eat. I didn't invite you anyway." Jiang Yiyu pulled Cheng Shuyi's hand, "Let's go."
