"There's no rush. Xiao Hao is busy with the project these days, so it's not a good time to distract him. He'll understand when the time comes."
Before that, he had to find a way to ease the conflict between the two brothers.
...
I've already spoken to Zhou Shengyu, so I'll probably be returning to the Zhou family soon.
Upon seeing the text message, Jiang Zhengyu raised an eyebrow with interest. This Xu Yanshu was quite efficient.
Having just finished processing the documents at hand, Qin Shengyi looked up and saw the person opposite her smiling mysteriously. She frowned in confusion.
"What happened that made you laugh so lewdly?"
Jiang Zhengyu abruptly stopped smiling, glared at Qin Shengyi with feigned anger, and then answered truthfully, "Yan Shu has decided to return to the Zhou family."
So sudden? Qin Shengyi was stunned for a moment.
Although I knew that the relationship between Brother Yan Shu and the Zhou family was gradually improving, when I asked him before, Brother Yan Shu clearly said that he had no plans to move back to Rongcheng for the time being. How could he have changed his mind so quickly?
"Was it voluntary?"
These words made Jiang Zhengyu both laugh and cry. "Of course it's voluntary. Who could force him to do something like this?"
"That seems to be true," Qin Shengyi nodded thoughtfully.
"Has Mu Yichen stopped bothering you lately?"
“He came to the manor to see me every day a few days ago, but he hasn’t shown up since Mom talked to him. He still tries to contact me on WeChat every day, but I haven’t really paid any attention to him!”
It seemed that his aunt already knew Mu Yichen's true colors. Jiang Zhengyu nodded thoughtfully, and the heavy weight in his heart finally settled down.
"So you didn't let him gain any advantage, did you?"
Such a direct question made Qin Shengyi blush deeply. She looked up and glared at him reproachfully, "Of course not, I'm not stupid!"
"Whenever he wanted to be alone with me, I avoided him with various excuses."
If she doesn't know that the other person has character flaws, she'll be a real scapegoat if she doesn't know how to be cautious and avoid the situation.
Realizing belatedly that his question was inappropriate, Jiang Zhengyu awkwardly waved his hand, secretly letting out a sigh of relief.
Otherwise, he might not be able to resist rushing over to settle scores with that bastard Mu Yichen, and then going to apologize to his uncle and aunt.
"So what exactly is wrong with Mu Yichen? He seems to have a pretty good reputation in the industry!"
"Well... his private life is a bit messy, but if we're just talking about friends, he's pretty loyal."
Jiang Zhengyu originally didn't want to bring up this issue too much, but facing Sheng Yi's curious eyes, he suddenly felt exposed and hesitated for a moment before answering.
"And I only recently discovered that Mu Yichen and Zhou Zehao also care deeply about each other!"
ah?
Qin Shengyi was almost speechless with astonishment, thinking to himself that this world was far too small; Mu Yichen actually knew Zhou Zehao.
Birds of a feather flock together. Zhou Zehao is selfish and treacherous, which shows that Mu Yichen is no good either.
“Shengyi, I’m sorry, it was indeed my negligence that put you in this situation,” Jiang Zhengyu suddenly became serious and said solemnly, “If Mu Yichen contacts you again, you must remember to be extra careful!”
"Of course I'll be careful. There's no need for an apology. Ignorance is no excuse, and you were only trying to help us back then." Seeing the other person suddenly become serious, Qin Shengyi felt inexplicably uncomfortable, so he waved his hand and said.
If it weren't for Zhengyu's elaborate scheme, I probably wouldn't have even planned to go find Yanshu. And even without Mu Yichen, given my mother's attitude at the time, she would definitely have arranged for someone else to take care of me.
Suddenly remembering Xu Yanshu's questioning of him that day, Jiang Zhengyu felt a surge of vengeful intent. He lowered his head, feigning disappointment, and said, "It's good that you don't blame me!"
"Yan Shu was furious with me for this, saying that I deliberately pushed you into the fire!"
Would Brother Yan Shu really say that? Qin Shengyi was skeptical.
Jiang Zhengyu seemed to sense something and looked up at Qin Shengyi with a wronged expression. "Do you think I'm talking nonsense?"
"I...no, he probably said those hurtful things because he was concerned about me. I will definitely make him apologize to you later."
One cannot suddenly realize, belatedly, that what one said...
Because Qin Shengyi had to rush back to the company for a meeting, the brother and sister left the coffee shop after sitting for a while.
Sitting alone in the car, Jiang Zhengyu suddenly didn't know where to go when Mu Yichen called, his narrow eyes suddenly turning cold.
"Jiang Lu, are you in Chengdu right now? If you are, let's go out for a drink!"
Hmph, I was just about to settle accounts with him, and this bastard actually delivered himself to my doorstep.
With a slight frown, Jiang Zhengyu said in a deep voice, "Okay, give me an address, and I'll come right away!"
The two eventually agreed to meet at a quiet bar in the east of the city. Jiang Zhengyu didn't intend to pretend to be polite, but Mu Yichen's heart skipped a beat when he saw the man's gloomy face.
“Brother Jiang, I know you must be very angry with me, but I truly love Shengyi.”
No sooner had he finished speaking than Jiang Zhengyu gave a cold, ambiguous laugh.
"Mu Yichen, do you really think I don't know what kind of person you are?"
"We agreed to help each other from the start. Who gave you the audacity to actually have designs on my sister? Or do you think that at this point, I, Jiang Zhengyu, can't do anything to you?"
