[Damn, Shen Jingxiu really heard everything, including the lie about pocket money. Poor guy, he doesn't even know I saved him. Shen Jingxiu, do you even know that if it weren't for my woman, she would have spilled all that red wine on your crotch?]
Shen Jingxiu: …………
He did see a woman carrying a glass of red wine walk past his table just now.
So that was part of his blind date's seduction plan? Ha, that's incredibly low-level.
"You still haven't answered my question: aren't you going to cut ties with that kind of friend?"
"Fine!" Since he's already heard it, there's no need to pretend in front of him anymore.
"The breakup with this so-called friend is inevitable; it's just that the time hasn't come yet."
"Oh? Then when do you think the right time would be?"
"I still need to go to her house to get back the jewelry and bags she borrowed from me before. I need to wait until all the financial issues are sorted out."
“…………” Shen Jingxiu raised an eyebrow, “You’ve played her for a fool today, and you’re still going to her house?”
“Go, why not go! One should strike while the iron is hot! Besides, my time is so precious, I can’t waste it on someone like her.”
"Time is precious? As far as I know, you must have plenty of free time."
Wen Yan: …………
[What kind of person is Shen Jingxiu? I helped him and he actually made snide remarks about me!]
Shen Jingxiu: "What I mean is, you're not going to the company anymore, so what are you planning to do with all this money you're in such a hurry to get it back?"
Wen Yan looked Shen Jingxiu up and down: "When did you become so interested in my affairs, brother? You weren't like this before."
Shen Jingxiu: ...What's so interesting about that? He was just asking casually.
Forget it, I'd better keep quiet.
"The elevator is here, do you want to get off?"
"Yes, I'm driving now. I'll go to the car and wait for my friend."
The two entered the elevator one after the other. Just as the elevator doors were about to close, a group of people suddenly ran in from outside. The group included the elderly and children, and looked like a large family.
Wen Yan quickly pressed the door open button and let the group of people in.
Shen Jingxiu noticed all her little actions and suddenly remembered something from many years ago.
That summer, he returned to China, and the family went out to eat. At that time, Wen Yan was still very reluctant to squeeze into the elevator with others, and she was very impatient during the elevator ride.
Now she even offers her seat voluntarily.
Because so many people came in at once, Shen Jingxiu and Wen Yan, who were the first to enter the elevator, were inevitably squeezed into a corner.
Adding to the chaos, the two mischievous kids were pushing and shoving each other, and Wen Yan bumped into Shen Jingxiu several times.
The first time, Wen Yan thought it was just an accident, something that happened and nothing serious.
Unexpectedly, there were a second and a third time.
Just as Wen Yan was about to say something, a tall figure suddenly blocked her way.
That broad and slender back instantly separated her from the noisy, unruly children.
Although Wen Yan only saw the back of a head when she looked up, it was definitely Shen Jingxiu's back of the head.
"Thank you, brother." Having received a kindness from someone, Wen Yan was not stingy with her words of gratitude.
However, she was met with silence from Shen Jingxiu.
He's aloof, but he's actually a nice guy, and so handsome. I just wonder which woman will have his muscular chest and broad back sheltering her from the storm in the future.
Shen Jingxiu: ...Here we go again. Besides being handsome, is he really that useless?
The elevator quickly reached the first floor.
After the whole family left, Shen Jingxiu moved away from Wen Yan, and the two didn't speak again until they walked out of the building.
Finally, Wen Yan pointed to the left and said, "I parked my car over there."
Shen Jingxiu simply nodded at her, then headed in the opposite direction.
After getting into the car, Wen Yan immediately called Qiao Kexin.
Since Qiao Kexin didn't drive today, Wen Yan planned to pick up her own things while driving her home.
While waiting for Qiao Kexin to get out of the car, she happened to see Shen Jingxiu's Bentley drive by.
Upon seeing this person, Wen Yan suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to explain to him that she had lied in front of Qiao Kexin earlier.
However, Wen Yan thought again that he was such a busy person who usually didn't have time to go home, so he probably wouldn't go to Mr. and Mrs. Shen to complain about such a small matter.
Thinking this way, Wen Yan felt relieved again.
Qiao Kexin quickly got into Wen Yan's car.
Thinking back to what happened at the restaurant earlier, she became suspicious: "Yan Yan, didn't you say you and your older brother didn't get along very well? Why did he offer to take you home just now?"
Wen Yan got so into acting that she slapped the steering wheel with a loud thud.
"And you say that? Don't you think he's as cold as a refrigerator? When I went to greet him, he ignored me and asked me directly if I had been drinking."
Don't you know whether I've been drinking or not? I didn't dare disobey him, so I had to go along with what he said. And as you saw, in the end, I still had to drive home myself.
"He may seem difficult to get along with, but of the four siblings in the Shen family, only he and Shen Zhirou are currently working in the company. Shen Zhirou will get married eventually anyway, and the other three don't care much about the Shen family company. In the future, Shen Jingxiu will most likely take over the Shen family business."
You really need to pay more attention. Although he's aloof, you have the advantage of being close to him, so you can try to make your presence felt more. The woman he was having dinner with earlier was probably his blind date; you really need to act quickly.
