Jiang Che looked at him and slowly asked, "What did you say?"
Seeing his serious expression, Fei Ming said solemnly, "I said I understand."
Mu Xu, who was standing nearby, chuckled inappropriately. Fei Ming suppressed the urge to glare at him and remained silent.
Jiang Che looked at him and asked again, "You mean Ye Zhao is also from City A?"
So that's what you were asking. Fei Ming nodded and replied, "Yes, Boss Ye is also from City A. He only came to Shangyang two years ago, right..."
"Really?" Jiang Che nodded thoughtfully. He hadn't heard Ye Zhao mention it before, though she didn't need to.
However, since she is also from City A, they might have actually met before. No wonder they both felt that the other looked familiar. Jiang Che smiled.
Seeing this, Mu Xu looked like he'd seen a ghost. He was certain that President Jiang and that girl had hit it off, and even if nothing had happened yet, they were probably already pregnant.
Jiang Che was completely unaware of his thoughts. Just as Mu Xu and the other person left his room, his phone rang.
Seeing the note above, he sighed helplessly and answered the phone: "What is it now?"
"Brother, please come back soon. I promise I'll never put another woman in your life again," Jiang Ze promised on the other end of the phone.
Jiang Che's face darkened upon hearing this, and he said impatiently, "What are you trying to do now?"
Jiang Ze paused for a moment upon hearing this, then cautiously asked, "Brother, tell me honestly, are you hiding something from me?"
Jiang Che asked in a relatively calm tone, "What is it?"
Jiang Ze hesitated on the other end of the phone: "It's...it's just some things that are not convenient to talk about."
"What exactly are you trying to say?"
Seeing that Jiang Che's patience was about to run out, Jiang Ze hurriedly said, "I... Brother, are you... are you a little abnormal in some way?"
Jiang Che was taken aback at first, then suppressed his anger and calmly asked, "Jiang Ze, do you want to die?"
The next second, Jiang Ze quickly hung up the phone. Just kidding, his brother was terrifying when he got angry, the calmer he was, the more terrifying he was.
However, Jiang Che's sudden anger was seen as an attempt to avoid answering. Jiang Ze didn't need to think much before he assumed his idea was correct. He sighed and leaned back on the sofa, imagining the two brothers having their legs broken by their parents. He felt numb all over and quickly got up to send Ye Zhao a message for help.
"What should we do, Zhao Zhao? My brother is in the same situation as me. If our families find out about us, they'll beat us to death."
"Help!!!"
"I've been feeling guilty these past two days and haven't dared to go home!"
"I don't know where my brother went."
"Did he find out about me and run away? I was hoping he'd come back soon and get beaten up with me!"
"Help!"
Upon seeing these messages, Ye Zhao sighed inwardly, "Could this matter really have a family connection?"
The chat window with the wronged guy kept flashing messages, asking Ye Zhao to think of a solution. Ye Zhao thought for a moment and came up with a terrible idea.
"Why don't you come out and hide for a while too?"
"You're right! I'm leaving now!"
Seeing his instant reply, Ye Zhao's lips twitched. This guy, aside from anything else, is quite efficient.
"I'm coming to Shangyang to find you right away!"
Um... okay, it's not impossible, anyway, she hasn't met this online friend in all these years.
Ye Zhao thought Jiang Che would be busy with work after that day, but who would have thought that the next afternoon when she was sitting in the yard pruning flowers and plants, Fei Ming pushed Jiang Che to the gate of the yard.
Ye Zhao quickly stood up and welcomed the person in: "Please come in!"
Jiang Che was pushed through the door by Fei Ming. He looked around the courtyard and saw that the flowers and plants were arranged in a neat and orderly manner. The roses on the wall were in full bloom, and a sweet osmanthus tree in the corner was emitting a faint fragrance. It was obvious that a lot of thought had been put into it.
He couldn't help but praise, "Your courtyard is so elegantly decorated, you must have put a lot of thought into it, right?"
Ye Zhao gestured for Fei Ming to sit down before replying, "I didn't put much effort into it; I just tidied it up whenever I had time."
"What would you like to drink? Tea or coffee?"
Jiang Che smiled and said, "Tea, please."
Ye Zhao smiled and nodded: "Then please have a seat, I'll go in and boil some water."
After she went inside, the courtyard fell silent for a moment, and then two voices suddenly came from outside the door.
"Why did you buy so many vegetables? They'll just go bad if we can't finish them."
"I just couldn't bear to see that old lady so frail..."
"You can't buy this much!"
"It's okay, I can finish it."
The two walked into the courtyard while talking, their gazes falling on the two people at the table, and their voices stopped abruptly.
Fei Ming spoke first: "Did you go grocery shopping?"
Kobayashi snapped out of her daze and quickly smiled, saying, "Uh, right, you're back? And who is this?"
Before Fei Ming could answer, she looked at Jiang Che as if she remembered something and asked in a surprised tone, "You're the handsome guy who helped the boss that night, right?"
Jiang Che smiled faintly and nodded slightly.
Yang Juan almost forgot to look away from Jiang Che, but she came back to her senses when she heard Xiao Lin's surprised tone, and smiled at the two of them.
Xiao Lin quickly put down the vegetables she was holding and stepped forward, saying warmly, "Hello, hello. It was too late the other day and I didn't have time to entertain you. Today is perfect. I just bought some vegetables, so you can try my cooking."
Jiang Che glanced at the dishes behind him and smiled, "Then I won't be polite."
Xiao Lin quickly replied, "What are you saying? We should be thanking you."
Yang Juan knew what had happened that night. Hearing their polite manners, she hurriedly carried the groceries she was carrying to the kitchen. As she entered, she bumped into Ye Zhao and winked playfully, "Sister Zhao Zhao, has Tao Hua come to visit?"
Ye Zhao glared at her with a smile, then lowered her voice and said, "Don't talk nonsense."
Yang Juan beamed with joy: "I've seen this handsome guy before, he's the one I told you about who passed by the door the other day. I never expected you two to have such a coincidence."
"Make the most of it, sis."
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhao paused slightly in her steps.
Seeing Ye Zhao come out, Xiao Lin carried the groceries into the kitchen.
Jiang Che watched Xiao Lin's retreating figure and said, "The staff in your store... are very enthusiastic."
Ye Zhao smiled and said, "That's just Lin's personality. He's a good cook. Why don't you stay and have dinner together later?"
Jiang Che didn't stand on ceremony with her and readily agreed, "Okay."
Fei Ming watched the two chatting happily and quietly walked away. He vaguely felt he'd missed something important, but couldn't quite put his finger on it. He simply went into the kitchen to help Xiao Lin.
Xiao Lin was also surprised that Jiang Che was Fei Ming's boss. He pulled him aside and asked a bunch of questions out of curiosity. After learning that Jiang Che was the president of Jiang's Group, he was half surprised and half admiring. He didn't expect that Jiang Che was so young and already the president of a group.
Ye Zhao, who was chatting with Jiang Che outside the door, received a message from Yuanzi Ge.
"Zhaozhao, where do you live in Shangyang? I'm leaving from City A right away."
