"Brother, I don't want to go back to Rongcheng so soon. Please talk to my family for me!" Qin Shengyi looked at the person opposite him with hopeful eyes.
After careful consideration, she still felt that she couldn't just go back to Rongcheng like this. She hadn't even revealed her identity to Brother Yan Shu yet, and if she went back now, it would be even more difficult to see him again.
No wonder she was willing to come here today!
A knowing glint flashed in Jiang Zhengyu's eyes, then she raised an eyebrow with interest. "For Xu Yanshu?"
Cough cough—
Caught off guard by the revelation, Qin Shengyi's face flushed red, and she couldn't help but glare at the person who exposed her.
It's enough to know in your heart; why do you have to say it out loud?
"You need to think things through. Xu Yanshu has been divorced before. If you choose him, the road ahead will definitely be difficult!"
No matter how outstanding Yan Shu is, being divorced is a major drawback in the eyes of outsiders.
The uncle has always been a perfectionist, and the blind dates he had previously chosen for Shengyi were all elites in various fields. Compared to them, he certainly wouldn't be interested in Xu Yanshu at first glance.
"I'm not afraid!" Qin Shengyi declared without hesitation.
It's not his fault that he met the wrong person. Even if the two of them don't have a chance to go any further, I will still stand firmly by his side.
Xu Yanshu, if you still can't figure things out, then you're really letting Shengyi down.
Jiang Zhengyu couldn't help but sigh inwardly. In fact, he had long expected Shengyi to have such an attitude. What made her successful was also her downfall. Shengyi was much more resilient than the average girl.
"I can help you with this, but you have to promise me that as long as you stay in Kyoto, you must tell me immediately if anything happens."
Why are conditions being added?
Qin Shengyi inwardly grumbled, but since she needed his help, she had no choice but to put on a smile and say, "Of course! You're my brother, how could I hide anything from you!"
"Hmph, I don't want sugar-coated bullets. If I find out that you knowingly violated the rules, I will definitely send you back to Chengdu immediately."
...
"Yan Shu, you and Huan Yu parted on good terms. If you're free tonight, why don't you come back to the old house for dinner?"
Upon receiving the call, Xu Yanshu was unsure what the old fox was up to, but remembering the strange thing he had discovered last time, he decided to go anyway.
"It's rare to see you like this. You're so busy with important matters right now; I thought you wouldn't come!"
"I didn't want to come originally, because if there were people I didn't like around, I might lose my appetite." Xu Yanshu shrugged nonchalantly and said casually, "But after thinking it over, I still have to give you this much face!"
After saying that, Xu Yanshu reached out and pulled out a chair to sit down, when a voice sounded from behind him.
"Uncle Xie, I'm sorry, there was a bit of traffic on the way," Zhou Haoze strode in from outside and humbly explained to Xie Junyang, then seemed to only then notice the person standing next to him, "I just came to visit Chairman Xie, Mr. Xu, you won't mind if I disturb your meal, will you?"
Are they planning to reveal their hand?
Xu Yanshu's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't intend to pay attention to the other person and sat down at the dining table on his own.
In stark contrast to his previous sarcastic tone, Xie Junyang politely invited Zhou Haoze to sit down.
Xie Junyang spoke listlessly, but with a forced smile on his face, "Huanyu has always had a bad temper, I didn't expect you two to get along so well!"
"People are divided into three classes and nine grades. I think it's because you all grew up in similar environments and received similar educations, which is why you get along so well."
"Yes, Huanyu and I have a lot in common. I think this is what they mean by birds of a feather flock together."
"I think Huanyu is a very good girl. If we are destined to be together in the future, I will definitely cherish her!" Zhou Zehao said, glancing at her provocatively.
hehe!
Xu Yanshu sneered inwardly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing. So, she had deliberately called him back just to hear this kind of sarcastic talk? That was hardly necessary.
Right now, he only wants to go his separate ways with Xie Huanyu and doesn't care at all who she will end up with.
He has always acted with a clear conscience, so he won't be easily discouraged by a few words.
Xie Junyang suddenly frowned and said with great displeasure, "Yan Shu, Zhou Shao is still a guest, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to remain silent like this?"
Xu Yanshu nodded readily, then raised the glass of red wine in front of him and gestured towards Zhou Zehao.
"Young Master Zhou, I'd like to offer you a toast, wishing you two a happy ending."
Xie Junyang was so shocked by the other party's words that he almost had a heart attack. His face turned bright red with anger.
Xie Huanyu had just returned from outside when she saw Zhou Haoze there. She was somewhat surprised, as her father had only mentioned having dinner with Xu Yanshu on the phone, but hadn't mentioned Zhou Haoze's presence.
What was the father trying to do? He actually put these two people at the same table.
Just as Xie Huanyu was feeling awkward, she heard Xu Yanshu's words, and her expression turned even more unpleasant. Had he also gone too far in being generous?!
"Huanyu, you're back just in time!" Noticing Xie Huanyu standing not far away, Zhou Zehao got up and led the woman to the dining room, affectionately putting his arm around Xie Huanyu's shoulder and saying, "Xu Yanshu wished us lovers a happy ending, don't you think we should drink this glass of wine!"
Is this person crazy?
Xie Huanyu frowned unhappily, and made a move to shake off the other person's hand, but she was caught off guard by her father's sharp gaze, and could only awkwardly withdraw her action.
Xu Yanshu noticed this detail without making a sound. At that moment, Zhou Zehao also slowly picked up his red wine, and the wine glass clinked together in the air.
"Thank you for your generosity in granting our request. I apologize for the injustice Huanyu suffered before. I will definitely cherish her in the future."
"You're welcome!" Xu Yanshu said with a forced smile, having no interest in continuing the charade. After putting down his wine glass, he turned to Xie Junyang, who was sitting at the head of the table. "Chairman Xie, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be taking my leave now!"
Xie Junyang scoffed coldly, "Hmph, that's why I said you're a busybody!"
Xu Yanshu seemed oblivious to this, and turned around and strode out of the dining room.
Seeing this, Xie Huanyu instinctively wanted to chase after them, but was stopped by someone at the last moment.
"Huanyu! Come and eat!"
As he passed through the living room, Xu Yanshu deliberately slowed his pace and, taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, reached out and knocked on the wall.
It was indeed empty.
He pursed his lips cautiously, a thoughtful look in his eyes. It seemed that there was indeed a secret hidden in the Xie residence.
Hearing voices behind him, Xu Yanshu suddenly came to his senses and immediately stepped out.
If he wasn't mistaken, Xu Yanshu had lingered here for quite a while.
Butler Wang followed, vaguely sensing something was amiss. He looked around, and the next second his expression changed drastically—
