Xu Yanshu, having nothing better to do, went to visit Jiang Zhengyu's law firm. At that time, Lawyer Jiang was complaining bitterly.
"Is this woman crazy? Since she's already decided to marry into a wealthy family, why did she go to Shengyi's studio to cause trouble?"
So it's a case of "the magistrate is allowed to set fires, but the common people are forbidden to light lamps," right? Besides, Yan Shu and Sheng Yi are just ordinary friends right now.
Xu Yanshu hadn't paid much attention to Jiang Zhengyu's complaints at first, but as he heard the rest, he suddenly sensed something was off. He looked up at the other man thoughtfully.
"What did you say? Xie Huanyu caused trouble at AC Studio?!"
Upon hearing this, the indignant Jiang Zhengyu suddenly fell silent, belatedly realizing that he had let something slip.
He had originally promised Shengyi to keep this matter a secret from Xu Yanshu, but since the other party had already asked so many questions, he simply explained the whole story.
"This Xie Huanyu is far too arrogant. Does he really think that the Xie family can do whatever they want in the capital? Little does he know that there are always people more powerful than him."
If it weren't for the little girl's repeated requests to keep it a secret from her family, he would have definitely taken action to teach the Xie family a lesson and shown them how to be humble.
You mean Tuesday?
Not understanding why the other person would specifically ask this, Jiang Zhengyu secretly went through the timeline before nodding and replying, "Yes, it was Tuesday!"
Damn it!
Xu Yanshu couldn't help but spit inwardly, his handsome face flushed with anger.
So Xie Huanyu went to cause trouble for Shengyi after questioning herself? How long is this woman going to go crazy?
"I understand about this. Don't worry, I definitely won't let Shengyi suffer injustice for nothing!"
Jiang Zhengyu nodded as if he understood, quite satisfied with this attitude.
Although he had plenty of ways to teach that woman a lesson, Yan Shu still needed to maintain the proper attitude; otherwise, he wouldn't feel comfortable letting Sheng Yi develop a relationship with him beyond friendship.
"Now that the Xie family has made new plans, there shouldn't be any more complications with the divorce!"
Xu Yanshu nodded, his eyes dark and deep. "Yes, there's only one week left."
Even if Xie Junyang wanted to play some tricks, he would have to consider whether he could afford to offend Chairman Huang.
"AC has already signed a contract with Tianhong Group. After things are settled here, Shengyi will probably have to return to Rongcheng!"
There should have been a probationary period, but to prevent Xie Junyang from causing trouble again, Shengyi decided to start the contract process ahead of schedule at his suggestion.
Xu Yanshu was taken aback, and subconsciously asked, "When will she come back?"
“I really don’t know,” Jiang Zhengyu shrugged helplessly. “If he doesn’t go back to the US, he’ll probably stay at the Chengdu branch, and someone else will be assigned to handle the follow-up matters here.”
He's not coming back...
Xu Yanshu felt lost and disappointed. Logically speaking, this should be the case. AC had only set up an office temporarily for this financing, so Shengyi was destined not to stay in Kyoto indefinitely.
Taking in the changes in the other party's expression, Jiang Zhengyu's eyes flashed with a triumphant look, and he immediately began to make a plan.
That was indeed what his uncle meant, and he brought it up now to see what Xu Yanshu's attitude was.
The girl's thoughts were already obvious, but no one knew what Yan Shu was thinking. In order to avoid ending up with nothing to show for his efforts, he had to give it a try.
“Actually, ever since I met Shengyi, I’ve felt that I know her very well, as if we’ve known each other for a long time, but I’m not sure where exactly,” Xu Yanshu said thoughtfully, while spreading his hands helplessly. “However, Shengyi doesn’t seem to be very willing to talk about this kind of topic.”
After careful review, he wondered if Shengyi was the junior schoolmate who always liked to follow him back then. But after thinking about it carefully, he felt it was unlikely. Shengyi was bright and generous, completely different from the girl who always kept her head down.
I don't know if the girl was bullied by those people again... I clearly left my contact information back then, but even after I transferred to Kyoto to study in my senior year of high school, I never heard from her.
"If I didn't know your character well, I would have thought you were using this kind of talk to get close to me!"
Jiang Zhengyu casually joked, then said seriously, "I don't think it's necessary to dig into such questions. After all, people change, and what makes you decide whether or not to get closer to someone is always your current judgment and feelings!"
Perhaps one day Shengyi will bring up the matter from back then with Yanshu, but before that, she certainly doesn't want to be constantly questioned by him, otherwise it might lead to a stalemate in their relationship.
"Yes, you have a point. Actually, I never intended to force myself to win."
Given the distance between Chengdu and Beijing, if Shengyi really goes back like this, they might never see each other again...
This realization made Xu Yanshu inexplicably anxious. He unconsciously frowned, and the next second he suddenly stood up from his seat.
"I suddenly remembered that I still had some documents to process, so I left first."
So you can't sit still anymore?
Jiang Zhengyu's eyes gleamed with interest as he said casually, "Then take care!"
It seems that Xu Yanshu is not entirely uninterested in Shengyi, which means that he may very well become his brother-in-law in the near future.
Jiang Zhengyu nodded in satisfaction, but given the two people's slow-paced personalities, it was still uncertain when they would be able to break through the barrier.
Perhaps I should add fuel to the fire...
After a moment of contemplation, Jiang Zhengyu finally came up with a solution, and he gave a cryptic smile.
Although it's somewhat unethical, it's definitely effective.
Thinking about it, he picked up his phone, which was lying to the side, opened his contacts, and called Qin Shengyi directly.
"Hey, Jung-woo!"
"Shengyi, are you free right now? Xu Yanshu is in trouble. He's been cornered downstairs by a group of people, and the situation seems a bit tricky!" Jiang Zhengyu's tone suddenly became urgent as he spoke.
The voice on the other end became noticeably anxious, "How could this happen?"
“I don’t know what happened either. I’m tied up with something right now and can’t get away for the time being. If you have time, please go and check on him as soon as possible. If you delay any longer, he might die.”
"Okay, I understand, I'll be right there!"
The call was abruptly ended by the person on the other end, which didn't surprise Jiang Zhengyu at all. This little girl really cared about Xu Yanshu!
Once those two realize what's going on, they probably won't let me off easily!
Jiang Zhengyu suddenly realized this problem and couldn't help but shudder.
He glanced at his watch, then decisively grabbed his briefcase and left the law firm.
