Chapter 248 Suspicion
"How can a man make you so unconfident?" Shen Xiyi's eyes flashed with some displeasure.
As a woman myself, I really don't like how she looks down on me and talks about whether I'm worthy or not.
Liang Nian looked at the shimmering water of the stream and suddenly laughed: "This is the truth. My brother must have used extraordinary means."
It was true that she liked Xu Yuanmo, but she didn't want him to reach some kind of cooperation with her brother.
"Then do you think Professor Xu treats you well?"
Liang Nian thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, before we got engaged, he actually didn't like to talk to me. But after we got engaged and lived together, he treated me very well, just like... taking care of his sister."
Like a brother, Liang Junchen has never treated her like this. As long as he is not busy, Xu Yuanmo will cook at home and make milk for her in the evening.
Quite considerate.
"It's enough that he treats you well. What brother and sister? You are not related by blood. Sooner or later you will have to sleep in the same bed. Then you will be brother and sister."
Shen Xiyi said this very calmly, and Liang Nian's face turned red when she heard it.
"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about?"
"There's no wedding anyway, so just treat it as a courtship. No matter what Professor Xu's reasons for marrying you, I guess a family like theirs wouldn't have a history of casual divorce."
After Shen Xiyi's analysis, Liang Nian felt a little better.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Shen Xiyi continued: "I have no culture either. Apart from some accomplishments in making porcelain, I have no other advantages to show for myself. Self-deprecation is often the beginning of tragedy in life."
Liang Nian stared blankly at Shen Xiyi, who looked as gentle as water in front of him. There seemed to be some kind of brilliance on her body.
She is only weak on the outside, but tough as cattail on the inside, and nothing can really crush her.
Shen Xiyi met Liang Nian's slightly admiring gaze from the side: "Do you think I'm right?"
Liang Nian nodded gently: "Yes."
"Just listen to me."
"Sister-in-law, are you in love with my brother now?" Liang Nian was a little curious. With her personality, would she really fall in love with a brother like her?
Shen Xiyi didn't avoid looking at me, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he answered frankly: "I'm in love."
"But my brother is a man with unpredictable moods. It's hard for ordinary people to love him forever."
"If he keeps draining my feelings for him, I'll slowly stop loving him. Before I love him, I still love myself more."
Liang Nian is not good at speaking and doesn't know what to say.
There are so many daughters of wealthy families in Nancheng, but most of them have no control over their final marriage destination. They look glamorous, but they have to gamble their whole lives.
Liang Nian finally understood why she liked being with Shen Xiyi so much.
The casualness and freedom of Shen Xiyi are something that those daughters of famous families do not have.
After staying at the villa until the afternoon, when the two were preparing to return home with a bucket full of fish, they saw Liang Junchen and Xu Yuanmo in the parking lot.
Shen Xiyi walked up to Liang Junchen with a bucket in his hand: "They said cold water fish is delicious. Let's go back and make soup tonight, okay?"
She ignored the unhappy look on Liang Junchen's face and happily showed him the fish she caught today.
Although Liang Junchen had a sour face, he still lowered his head to take a look at the fish bucket. This bucket of dry fish was really good.
"Next time you come to such a far place, tell me in advance so that I can send someone to follow you." Liang Junchen raised his hand and poked her forehead. Although he was blaming her, his tone was very doting.
Liang Nian stared blankly at Shen Xiyi's performance. Shen Xiyi's purpose in coming here was not to fish, but her performance was really flawless.
Liang Junchen never thought of doubting her.
Xu Yuanmo looked at Liang Nian standing there blankly, staring at his brother and sister-in-law with a dazed look, and slowly walked towards her.
"You've been catching a lot, too. Would you like fish soup or fried fish tonight?"
When Xu Yuanmo's voice came from above his head, Liang Nian came back to his senses and looked down at the fish bucket in his hand.
"It's all fine. How do you like it?"
"The small ones are fried and the big ones are used to make braised fish fillets." Xu Yuanmo answered seriously.
Liang Nian nodded: "Okay."
When leaving, the two got into their respective cars and left the villa one after the other.
Shen Xiyi was in a good mood, and Liang Junchen felt it very clearly.
"So happy?"
"Well, this is the first time I've caught so many fish. I've never caught so many before in the countryside."
Liang Junchen looked at her with a smile and said, "Since you like it so much, come here often to fish in the future."
"Then you come too."
Shen Xiyi knew how to please him very well. For example, now, just one sentence made Liang Junchen's heart blossom, and he couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth in a good mood.
"good."
Shen Xiyi never asked about the affairs of the Gong family. Liang Junchen occasionally said a word or two to test her, and she would just ask casually.
Within a few days, the Gong family prepared to sell off their foreign trade company and shipyard at a low price.
It looks like he is going to quit the industry and has no intention of continuing.
This news was very sudden. Liang Junchen was a little surprised when he heard it from his assistant.
Gong Ming's change was too fast. A few days ago, Gong Ming was clearly running around trying to find a way out for the company.
Why are you suddenly selling off your property at a low price?
"How did he respond to us?"
After this news came out, Huaxin naturally contacted them immediately. Even if they did not acquire them, they would still make money by buying them at a low price and integrating them into a new company.
"He said that his ideas are different from ours and he hopes that the company can be sold to a company that truly understands foreign trade." The assistant said it very tactfully.
In fact, what the Gong family said was very unpleasant, and the assistant really didn't dare to relay it to Liang Junchen.
After signing the documents in his hand, Liang Junchen sneered coldly, "You're quite courageous. Go find out which company they're interested in."
The assistant nodded: "Okay."
The office fell silent, and Liang Junchen leaned back, looking slightly lazy.
Somehow, he suddenly remembered that Shen Xiyi went fishing a few days ago, and his suspicious mind made him feel an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
"He Chao, come in for a moment."
A minute later, He Chao pushed open the office door.
"Mr. Liang, you're looking for me."
Liang Junchen wrote the name of the villa on a piece of white paper and handed it to him: "Go check whether Gong Ming or Gong Cheng went to this villa on the 18th."
"OK."
"Check carefully and don't miss any details."
He Chao's face showed confusion for a moment. Liang Junchen had asked him to check Shen Xiyi's situation in the villa on the 18th, and everything was normal.
Why are you suspecting others now?
"OK."
He Chao was very efficient. He went there in person and checked the surveillance cameras inside and out, in front of and behind the mountain. He called Liang Junchen back three hours later.
At that time, Liang Junchen was almost reaching Liangyuan.
"No one from the No. 18 Gong family has been found near the villa. Business is slow here on weekdays, so someone would have seen them. We've checked all the surveillance cameras in front of and behind the villa, and inside the villa, and found nothing unusual."
Liang Junchen pursed his lips slightly but said nothing. Obviously, even though He Chao had gone there in person, he was still full of doubts.
"Also, I just checked the schedule of No. 18 in Minggong City that day. They don't have time to come here." He Chao probably guessed Liang Junchen's thoughts and immediately added another sentence.
"Um."
Liang Junchen responded softly this time. Liang Yuan's house was right in front of him, and his sinister eyes gradually became gentle.
Maybe he was overthinking it. Everything about Shen Xiyi was under his surveillance. What kind of trouble could she make?
Besides, apart from making porcelain, she knows nothing about business. How can she possibly solve the huge trouble that the Gong family has?
Even if she had some tricks, he knew her worth.
Shen Xiyi was helping his daughter to walk in the courtyard. The child started walking early. At only ten months old, she could walk unsteadily with her feet on the ground.
He could already mumble "Mom".
Liang Junchen stood quietly in the wind and rain corridor and watched this heartwarming scene. Shen Xiyi was so gentle to the child, which was much more gentle and patient than he was to him.
He made a sound to interrupt, but Shen Xiyi noticed him first. She picked up the child and pointed in the direction of Liang Junchen.
"Look, Daddy's back."
The child also saw Liang Junchen, and happily stretched out his chubby little hands, shouting "Aba Aba" non-stop.
Liang Junchen couldn't stand this and hurriedly walked towards the mother and daughter.
As soon as Liang Junchen went over, Baozhu couldn't wait to reach out for a hug. Liang Junchen took the child from Shen Xiyi and looked at her with lowered eyebrows.
Her face was flushed and she was breathing slightly, which showed that she was very tired from playing with the child.
But Liang Junchen felt very at ease at this moment.
