Chapter 94 He Sang, He is Your Third Brother
Ji Xilan had mentioned this once before at the old house, but Liang Yanzhang neither agreed nor refuted it.
I didn't expect her to bring up the old matter again.
"I...I don't dare to associate with you and Mr. Liang."
"Why are you marrying above your station? We just get along. You and the Liang family are destined to be together." Ji Xilan pulled He Sang over and said happily, "You are so beautiful. No wonder Yan Zhang likes you. I like you too."
He Sang wanted to pull his hand back, "Mrs. Liang..."
"Xiao He, you're not happy?" Ji Xilan sighed. "The Liang family has no daughters or granddaughters, and even the cousins are all boys. In Ji Province, every family on the same level as the Liang family has a daughter. Yan Zhang and I are so jealous, we keep urging the second and third sons to get married and have daughters, but they're not up to par, and Yan Zhang has given up. Instead of urging them, why don't we just pick up a ready-made one?"
The Liang family is prominent and noble, and Ji Xilan has sincerely lowered her attitude. If He Sang continues to act arrogantly, it would be too ungrateful. If the news gets out that an actress actually doesn't recognize the Liang family, Liang Yanzhang will lose face and it will be as easy as crushing an ant to kill her.
This kind of family is most afraid of losing face.
Ji Xilan said solemnly, "Xiao He, if you have any trouble in the future, tell your third brother, he will protect you."
"Third... Third Brother?" Mrs. Qiu was dumbfounded and stammered for a long time, "Mrs. Liang, should we discuss this with Mr. Liang before making a decision?"
Before Mrs. Qiu finished her words, the door of the box was pushed open from the outside and a gust of wind rushed in.
"You have a lucky mouth—speak of the devil and he'll appear." Ji Xilan beamed. "The third brother is here? You have good news!"
"Happy news?" Liang Jishen subconsciously glanced at He Sang as he entered the room. She was standing by the dining table, unharmed. His heart finally settled. He raised his hand to take off his suit and said, "Father has already returned to Hebei Province. Aren't you going back?"
"I stayed here to do some serious work. I gave you a younger sister."
"Sister?" He said with a teasing tone, "You're having a daughter in your old age? All your hard work over the years has paid off."
"I was planning to have a daughter, but after seven or eight years of taking Chinese medicine, I'm too lazy to bother." Ji Xilan rubbed He Sang's hand, cherishing it tightly. "It's a blessing to be soft-handed. Little He will bring prosperity to our Liang family."
Liang Jishen vaguely understood, and the expression on his face froze, becoming more and more gloomy and sinister, until finally, a layer of ice formed.
"The sister you are referring to is her?"
Ji Xilan's smile remained unchanged. "Of course it's Xiao He."
He sat down and took a cigarette from the tin box.
Liang Jishen was picky about his cigarettes and only smoked a few fixed brands. If they were not sold in the market, he would go to a collector's store to buy them. The Municipal Tobacco Bureau would also supply them regularly. For example, people from the four major families and the top ten richest people in the province basically didn't spend money on cigarettes, just accepting them as gifts was enough.
But his smoking wasn't in vain; at the end of the year, he'd have to pay the tobacco bureau, not a penny less. Over the past decade, Liang Jishen hadn't had any shady income, and he hadn't had a single sliver of evidence against him. Those who respected him truly admired his clear-headedness and openness, while those who hated him called him unkind, old-fashioned, and stubborn, waiting with gnashing teeth for him to capsize so they could give him a hard knock.
Ji Xilan pulled He Sang in front of Liang Jishen and said, "Little He is a good actress, has a good personality, and is pleasing to the eye. I've made the decision. Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Qiu are witnesses. You must take good care of her. If anyone bullies her, you must stand up for her."
After she finished speaking, she patted He Sang on the shoulder and said, "Xiao He, call someone."
He Sang pursed his lips, and uttered two words with difficulty, as if each word weighed a thousand pounds, "Third Brother..."
Mrs. Qiu almost spit out the tea. She covered her mouth with a handkerchief and swallowed it.
Liang Jishen tugged at his collar in frustration, saying nothing.
Ji Xilan was embarrassed, "Third brother, you don't give your mother face, this sister is not worthy of your eyes?"
He looked at Ji Xilan with a cold expression.
"Xiao He, he didn't hear clearly, call him again."
He Sang lowered his eyelids, "Third brother..."
The man's chill deepened. The box was silent, eerie and cold.
Ji Xilan's face fell, "Scream again."
"Third brother..." She cried.
"Yeah." Liang Jishen responded softly.
Only then did Ji Xilan give up.
He stood up and went to the balcony to smoke.
After finishing one cigarette and before lighting up for the second, Ji Xilan asked the waiter to pay the bill. Mrs. Qiu couldn't grab it from her, "Oh, Mrs. Liang! It's my treat!"
Ji Xilan was in a good mood, "You treat next time."
"Please stay a few days. The hot springs in the eastern suburbs have just opened, and the spa and beauty treatments are very popular. I've reserved five tickets, which is perfect for the five of us."
Mrs. Qiu didn't want to take advantage of Ji Xilan. This meal was very expensive. She had specially airlifted the ingredients from Japan, which were worth seven figures. She specially prepared it to entertain Ji Xilan and Mrs. Chen. Although Ji Xilan was famous for her lavish spending in the circle of wealthy wives, she spent the money on herself and never paid for social events.
"The weather is getting warmer now, and I like wearing silk clothes. Mrs. Qiu, I'll treat you to a meal, and you can provide me with the supply."
The tribute goods to the Liang family had to be silk gauze. One piece was not enough, so at least six pieces were needed to make a lucky number. Ji Xilan took away the entire year's profit easily.
Mrs. Qiu felt a pang of pain, but she maintained a smile on the surface and said, "No problem."
Ji Xilan stuffed her wallet back into her Hermès bag and said, "Third brother, are we going home?"
Liang Jishen simply didn't refill his cigarette. He pinched it habitually with his fingertips, and the crushed tobacco spilled all over the windowsill.
"Return."
"Then take me with you. I'm worried about Yanzhang being alone at home. No matter how well the nanny takes care of him, she can't be as meticulous as I am."
He was impatient and angry, "Are you worried now? You should have gone back with father a long time ago."
Ji Xilan said calmly, "It doesn't matter if one day comes. If your father knew that I recognized Xiao He, he would definitely be happy."
Liang Jishen walked towards the door, and several ladies stood up and watched him leave.
Their husbands are of the same generation as Liang Yanzhang, and Liang Jishen has to call them uncle or great-uncle. However, seniority is seniority and status is status. China Overseas Group is directly under the provincial government and is not a private enterprise that is qualified to compete. Liang Jishen went to their company in the name of an inspection, and the senior executives had to personally greet him. Who could be worthy of being called uncle?
He took two steps and suddenly stopped.
Her voice echoed in my ears: Third brother.
She called out quite seriously. After all, there were a room full of ladies watching, so how could she not be serious?
But the tone is too delicate, it's more like flirting than flirting.
Liang Jishen had not released his sexual desire in the afternoon. When he started to do it, he was interrupted by the girls in the theater and had to hold it back. It was a very uncomfortable feeling.
He is as strong as he can be in this aspect. It's not that he fights seven times in one night. He focuses on quality rather than quantity. He brings the atmosphere to a climax, he goes crazy, and He Sang turns into water. He does it thoroughly once and for all, and the result is of high quality that can be savored for a long time.
Liang Jishen placed his right hand, which held the cigarette, on his philtrum and took a deep breath. The coke-like smell of nicotine penetrated into his spleen and lungs. Instead of suppressing the evil fire, it was like pouring a bucket of gasoline, making it burn more and more fiercely.
He Sang had called him Brother Shen, Mr. Liang, and Deputy Secretary Liang. Even when he was being naughty, she would call him Liang Jishen. But calling him "Third Brother" was different. It had a taboo-like intimacy and an ethical thrill. She had never called him that before. No woman had ever called him that.
At this moment, she was sitting at the same table with a group of middle-aged ladies, looking like a lotus flower emerging from the water, young and attractive. Liang Jishen couldn't help but imagine what it would look like if she called him "Third Brother" in bed.
"Xiao He." Mrs. Qiu reminded her, "Please see Mrs. Liang off."
Mrs. Qiu saw that Liang Jishen was reluctant to leave, her eyes were naked and burning, as if she wanted to eat him alive.
He Sang moved half a meter towards him, "Mrs. Liang—" She hesitated for a second, "Mr. Liang, have a safe trip."
Ji Xilan pretended to be angry, "Xiao He, have you forgotten again?"
She bit the tip of her tongue, biting it too deep, causing the base of her tongue to hurt. "Third Brother."
Liang Jishen's Adam's apple rolled, "If you have anything, come to me, or Mrs. Qiu."
"You're in another province, so how can you have the convenience that Mrs. Qiu has?" Ji Xilan glared at him. "Besides, didn't you entrust Director Gu with her? Director Gu and Mrs. Qiu are protecting Xiao He. What could happen to her?"
Liang Jishen smiled maliciously and sarcastically, "I'm the third brother. How can an outsider care about her as much as a family member?"
Ji Xilan choked and walked out of the box first. He looked at He Sang again. She was frightened tonight and looked confused. They looked at each other, feeling a little aggrieved.
Liang Jishen walked past her and nodded to Mrs. Qiu, "Thank you."
Mrs. Qiu knew that he was worried about He Sang, and that this girl was indeed pitiful. "Mr. Liang, go back with peace of mind."
Coming out of the box, Ji Xilan held the elevator button, waiting for Liang Jishen.
He had been in a bad mood the entire time, but because the ladies were present, he couldn't lose his temper. Now he exploded, "Are you too free to do anything?"
