Their eyes met unexpectedly in mid-air, and the atmosphere began to become somewhat subtle.
Ever since that late-night phone call, something seems to have changed.
Finally, Xu Yanshu broke the silence, "Shengyi, why did you suddenly come back?"
"Well, actually I decided to come back at the last minute. I just arrived half an hour ago. There are some work matters to hand over here, so I might stay here for two or three days."
Is there anything that can't be clearly explained in a video conference?
Jiang Zhengyu saw through it but didn't say anything, secretly sighing that daughters grow up and leave home.
"I see," Xu Yanshu nodded in understanding, increasingly regretting his earlier tactless remarks that had caused the little girl to be on tenterhooks the moment she landed.
Jiang Zhengyu tapped the table, steer the conversation back to the main topic.
"So what really happened to you?"
“I already said it was just a joke, it’s no big deal,” Xu Yanshu shrugged nonchalantly and replied slowly, “It’s just that someone from my hometown called me and said that a middle-aged man surnamed Zhou has been asking about me recently.”
They've all gone to Baoning?
The brother and sister exchanged a surprised glance.
Jiang Zhengyu cautiously said, "Yan Shu, I think that instead of this back and forth, you should meet with the other party and talk things out clearly!"
As the saying goes, even if bones are broken, tendons still connect them. Blood ties are a wondrous thing, and it's possible that Yan Shu's thoughts will change after they meet.
No one can rely on anyone more reliable than one's own parents. Returning to the Zhou family would be entirely beneficial for Yan Shu. At least he wouldn't have to be so careful in his dealings with others, and he would have better support in his career.
Even if we assume that Yan Shu was truly determined not to return to the Zhou family, making things clear once and for all would have prevented any future troubles.
Xu Yanshu chuckled inwardly, amused that Zheng Yu had thought the same thing as her again. After nodding, she said, "That's what I think too."
"But I'm not thinking of taking the initiative to go to them right now. I'll wait until we happen to run into each other someday!"
Qin Shengyi frowned slightly in disagreement, thinking that returning to the Zhou family wasn't necessarily a good thing.
There's always trouble in wealthy families. Seeing how deep the water is in the Xie family, the Zhou family is probably no simple matter either. Besides, that Zhou Zehao is clearly not a kind person.
Thinking that the two of them hadn't seen each other for so long, they must have something to say to each other alone, Jiang Zhengyu made an excuse to answer a phone call and left the private room of the coffee shop.
Qin Shengyi felt a moment of unease, then said to herself, "Brother Yan Shu, my family won't arrange any more blind dates for me anymore, but I'll be staying at the Rongcheng branch to develop my career."
Although Yan Shuge didn't press the matter at the time, she felt it necessary to explain things clearly to him to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings in the future.
I see.
Xu Yanshu hesitated, then felt a little powerless, realizing he couldn't easily promise Shengyi anything.
"Yes, that's good. After my investigation, I found that Chengdu has the largest potential market, so I'm thinking of giving it a try."
Is that all?
Qin Shengyi was stunned for a moment, and a sense of disappointment unexpectedly arose in his heart, causing his eyes to dim slightly.
Yeah, Yan Shu never said he went to Chengdu for my sake. In the end, I was just being delusional...
"Okay, just let me know if you need anything then." Qin Shengyi forced a smile, then reached for his coffee but didn't drink it.
Seeing the other person's unusual behavior, Xu Yanshu felt a mix of emotions. He subconsciously opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't say anything more.
He has nothing now, and the grudges that need to be settled have not yet been resolved. It would be irresponsible of him to speak rashly.
Let's wait until I'm capable of protecting her...
The atmosphere became somewhat tense as the two fell silent. Xu Yanshu inexplicably wanted to escape, just as Jiang Zhengyu walked in from outside.
Jiang Zhengyu keenly sensed the awkward atmosphere and subconsciously spoke.
"What's going on here...?"
Not wanting the other party to ask any more questions, Qin Shengyi quickly cut the conversation off, subtly giving Jiang Zhengyu a wink, "Brother, what are you doing on the phone for so long? Hurry up and sit down, the coffee won't taste good if it gets cold!"
Jiang Zhengyu wisely kept quiet, wondering to himself what the two of them had been talking about.
Xu Yanshu guiltily avoided Zheng Yu's gaze, looking down and pretending to be busy scrolling through her phone.
