For a long time, Shen Jingxiu and his brother Shen Jinghe had never had a proper conversation like this.
Usually, Jinghe would remain silent with a cold face, or simply turn and leave.
But today he didn't leave immediately; instead, he listened attentively to Shen Jingxiu's words.
And after listening, he calmly gave a reply.
"Alright, I'm not good at handling these kinds of things anyway, so I won't make things worse for you. But what Fourth Brother said is right, the Fu family is too arrogant. Fu Anxian may not know Wen Yan's identity, but she and her live-in husband can't possibly not know who Shen Jingchuan is. The older generation was too conservative in handling the relationship between the two families, but times have changed now, and we don't need to maintain some so-called face in our generation."
"Exactly!" Shen Jingchuan got angry just thinking about it. "Disgusting bastard, how dare he scheme against me!"
Seeing him angrily pounding the sofa, Shen Jinghe couldn't help but glance at him: "You'd better be more careful in the future."
Shen Jingchuan glared at him: "Am I not cunning enough? I can't guard against him at all. Who knew that such an honest-looking person was actually full of bad intentions?"
"That just shows you lack the ability to judge people; you're still too naive."
"???? You have such a sharp tongue, you don't even spare your own brothers? I just went through something like that, shouldn't you be comforting me? When you were rescued as a child, I gave you my favorite toy, and you, you bitch, smashed it. If I hadn't seen you crying so pitifully, I would have strangled you."
"...You have a bad memory, don't you? Who's crying?"
"You, Shen Jinghe! What, you're afraid to admit it?"
"Tch, what do I have to be afraid to admit? But how can you expect me to admit something that didn't happen?"
"How could it not be? You just cried. Why are you being so stubborn now? You were only a few years old then, wasn't it normal to cry?"
"If you know that's normal, why do you still bring it up to make fun of me?"
"How is that making fun of me? I'm just stating the facts."
"..." Shen Jingxiu pinched the bridge of his nose. "How about I excuse myself for a bit and come back after you two have finished arguing?"
"No need," Shen Jinghe spoke up before Shen Jingchuan could. "I can't get along with him. I'm going back to my room to rest. By the way, brother, you're missing a cufflink."
After finishing his sentence, Shen Jinghe walked up the stairs without looking back.
Shen Jingxiu stared at his back for a few seconds before turning his gaze to his wrist.
Yes, he was careless; he didn't even notice that one of his cufflinks was missing.
But just now...
"Hey, big brother, did you hear that?!" Shen Jingchuan plopped down next to Shen Jingxiu. "Second brother just called you big brother. You haven't heard him call you big brother in ten or twenty years, have you?"
Shen Jingxiu raised an eyebrow: "It seems so, but I don't remember very clearly. But it's nothing, you haven't called him 'Second Brother' for many years either."
"Come on, bro, you're still pretending to be deep in front of me. To be honest, you're probably pretty happy right now. Tsk tsk, your eyes and brows are full of smiles."
Shen Jingxiu frowned: "Really? How come I didn't know?"
While saying one thing and meaning another, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up slightly.
"Look at you, still pretending!" Shen Jingchuan chuckled. "It's a pity I don't have my phone with me, otherwise I would definitely have taken a picture of you."
Shen Jingxiu's smile faded: "When did you become so fond of taking photos?"
"I caught Wen Yan's love for taking pictures. She takes pictures everywhere she goes. She takes a set when she's dressed nicely, another set when she's wearing nice makeup, and yet another set when she's in a scenic spot."
"Indeed. It sounds like you've been to many places together."
"Not really. We've both been very busy with work lately, but we can always squeeze in some time. Speaking of which, brother, you haven't had a vacation in a long time, have you?"
When the topic of vacation came up, Shen Jingxiu's expression couldn't help but show a hint of fatigue.
"Yes, it has been a long time. Let's go to my study; this is not a suitable place to talk business."
"Okay." Shen Jingxiu's study and Shen Jingchuan's room are both on the second floor.
Before going to the study, Shen Jingchuan went back to his room first.
He changed into a set of loungewear and took out a spare phone.
After turning on his phone, he immediately logged into WeChat and sent a message to Wen Yan.
"Breaking news! Breaking news! The second brother just called out to the eldest brother! That arrogant jerk finally dared to face the eldest brother directly!"
'You didn't see that scene. After he called out "Big Brother," his steps quickened.'
Knowing that Wen Yan should be resting by now, Shen Jingchuan didn't expect her to reply. He put his phone in his pocket and went to Shen Jingxiu's study.
-
When Wen Yan woke up, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.
She opened her phone and saw the message Shen Jingchuan had sent her that morning.
She immediately called Shen Jingchuan.
The other party responded immediately: "You're finally awake! I knew you'd be awake around this time. Are you hungry? If you are, come down and eat."
"I'm hungry. Is there anything to eat right away if I go down now? I'm so hungry I could eat a whole cow."
"Really?"
"...Nonsense, of course it's fake. It's an exaggeration. Even if I'm starving, I can't eat a whole cow."
Shen Jingchuan chuckled: "Okay, come down. By the way, did you see the message I sent you?"
"I saw it. I called you because I saw the message you sent me. I thought you weren't home."
