Chapter 72 One sentence from her, he remembered for a lifetime
Jiang Shiyuan ended her call with Butler Ning and switched to Ye Yu's call.
"Senior, you contacted me so early, aren't you busy?" she asked with a smile.
Ye Yulang laughed heartily, "I won't forget to contact you even when I'm busy. I'm not some heartless jerk."
The "dick thing" he was talking about was none other than "Dick Jinghuai".
"Ah Yuan, has your ex-husband, who's been causing you so much trouble, been harassing you these past few days?" Ye Yu asked, his voice filled with worry.
After all, in his eyes, Xie Jinghuai's psychological state was not much different from that of the criminals he had encountered.
Jiang Shiyuan recalled the confrontation last night and uttered only a few words:
"Normal communication."
"If he harasses you again, be sure to tell me immediately. Sexual harassment within marriage is a criminal offense."
Ye Yu's voice was slightly hoarse, but full of deep affection: "Although I am just a lawyer, I have my own way of protecting my most important sister, A-Yuan."
He was an orphan, and without the help of Jiang Shiyuan's mother, his future would have been bleak.
Ms. Jiang is gone, and Jiang Shiyuan is his only and most precious relative.
"Thank you, senior brother. But I'm no longer the little girl who used to ask you for candied hawthorns. I can protect myself." Jiang Shiyuan has always been independent and self-reliant, and has never wanted to depend on others.
Sometimes she thought that perhaps it was because she didn't know how to act coquettishly, how to show weakness, or how to shed tears in front of men that Xie Jinghuai couldn't muster any interest in her, but instead had a special fondness for Lin Zhixin, who had mastered all the skills to flirt with men.
But she only thought about it; she wouldn't change it.
She is like a large, angular picture frame; if this painting doesn't fit, then we'll just change to another one.
Trying to smooth out her rough edges and mold her into someone who caters to Xie Jinghuai is something that will never happen again.
"Ah Yuan, are you free at noon? A highly-rated Michelin-starred restaurant just opened in S.WORLD shopping mall. Let's go have a good meal!"
Jiang Shiyuan wasn't particularly interested in dining at a high-end restaurant, but when she heard it was a restaurant in a department store, her interest took flight.
"Senior, how tall are you? How much do you weigh? How wide are your shoulders?"
"ah……?"
Ye Yu paused for a moment, but still answered her, "I am 185 cm tall, weigh 145-155 kg (or around 150 kg), and have a shoulder width of 47 cm."
"Okay, see you at the restaurant at noon."
"?" Ye Yuliu was completely dumbfounded.
He'd seen people at bars judged by their looks and age, but he'd never seen someone at a restaurant judged by their height and weight. That's too much.
...
At noon, Jiang Shiyuan arrived as promised and met Ye Yu in front of the Shangdu gate.
"Ah Yuan!" Ye Yuqing's clear eyes curved into a smile as she waved.
Today he was dressed in a pure white, old-fashioned business casual suit. His tall and strong figure was bathed in the bright sunlight, radiating a warm glow. He couldn't wait to walk towards Jiang Shiyuan.
The girls passing by all cast admiring glances at the man.
Ye Yu is refreshing, clean, and refined; he can be both still and active.
His profession requires him to socialize frequently and deal with all sorts of people, but it hasn't made him slick or mercenary. In his eyes, there is still that clear, upright, and approachable older brother vibe.
"Senior brother." Jiang Shiyuan smiled sweetly at him.
The girls' budding romantic feelings have finally been put to rest...
His girlfriend was so beautiful. She was dressed simply and didn't even wear much makeup, yet she was still like a flawless piece of white jade. Her delicate face had a faint blush like peach blossoms, and her eyes were clear and bright like autumn water, so beautiful that they were unforgettable.
Turns out they're already in a perfect match, so let's break up...
Ye Yu held an ice cream in one hand and handed her the strawberry-flavored one in his left, smiling gently.
"Eat quickly, it'll melt in a bit."
“This place…it’s really hard to get a table at.” Jiang Shiyuan quickly took it.
She knew about this popular ice cream shop and had always wanted to try it, but the long queues deterred her.
"It'll be a short wait, it's nothing."
Ye Yu smiled gently, but the fine beads of sweat on his forehead betrayed that he had been queuing for a long time under the sun. "The important thing is that Brother Yu always remembers that your little sister likes to eat sweets."
"Thank you, senior brother." Jiang Shiyuan felt a lump in her throat, took a lick, and tasted the cool, sweet flavor.
After she grew up, she stopped calling him "Brother Ayu" to avoid suspicion.
But she didn't know that even after she got married and had children, she still looked so strong, independent, and mature.
In Ye Yu's eyes, she will always be that cute and innocent little girl from more than ten years ago.
"Brother Yu, please remember to bring me candied hawthorns!"
He can remember a single word she says for a lifetime.
The two chatted and laughed as they finished their ice cream, then went to a restaurant for a hearty meal. Jiang Shiyuan led Ye Yu to the luxury menswear section on the first floor.
That day, she noticed the brand of Fu Chenzhou's trench coat; it was from a top luxury brand.
She brought Ye Yu along because she felt that their body types were similar, and if Ye Yu could wear it, Fu Chenzhou would definitely be okay with it too.
"Ah Yuan, you're not going to buy clothes for Diao Jinghuai, are you?! Holy crap, can't you have any backbone?!" Ye Yu grabbed Jiang Shiyuan, almost choking with anger.
"Senior brother, what are you thinking? Do you think I'm some kind of despicable person who would buy clothes for my ex-husband? If I were to buy anything, it would only be funeral clothes for him."
Jiang Shiyuan was both amused and exasperated. "That day, Tongtong dirtied a classmate's parent's clothes, and I wanted to buy him the same one to make up for it."
She had given Xie Jinghuai clothes before, including ties, lapel pins, cufflinks...
Because she loved him, she always thought about him, and whenever she had something good, she would think of him.
However, Xie Jinghuai never touched the things she gave him.
Yet he uses the pen Lin Zhixin gave him every day and wears the tie Lin Zhixin gave him on important occasions.
Jiang Shiyuan didn't know how she got through those days when the dull knife chafed her flesh, she only knew that she would no longer worry about him.
Ye Yu breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good... You scared me so much I almost had an intestinal obstruction."
Upon entering the boutique, Jiang Shiyuan searched for a long time but couldn't find the same style, so she called over a shop assistant and described the style of the black trench coat.
"Madam, that trench coat is a VIP exclusive style of our brand, which can only be purchased by VIP customers with an annual spending of more than five million. However, it is no longer available."
Jiang Shiyuan was astonished, "Five million?!"
Fu Chenzhou's annual spending on clothing is no less than Xie Jinghuai's.
Are they buying clothes or getting their bodies gilded?!
The saleswoman smiled at the handsome couple before her: "Madam, would you like to choose another style for your husband?"
Ye Yu glanced deeply at Jiang Shiyuan beside him, his heart pounding intensely.
Jiang Shiyuan smiled awkwardly, "We are not husband and wife."
Even though he knew she would clarify, Ye Yu still couldn't help feeling a little lost and disappointed.
Jiang Shiyuan had no choice but to pick out the most expensive trench coat in the store and ask Ye Yu to help her try it on in the fitting room.
At this moment, outside the boutique—
Shen Zhantang, president of the Shen Group, and a group of senior executives came to inspect S. WORLD. When they passed the store entrance, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
The group of people behind him almost fell like dominoes.
Shen Zhantang glanced at Jiang Shiyuan, who was choosing men's clothing, then immediately avoided her and took out his phone to call Xie Jinghuai.
Over here, Xie Jinghuai is sitting in the R&D department, reviewing the R&D progress with Lin Zhixin.
Not only the two of them, but also the R&D staff and senior executives of the group were present.
Throughout the entire meeting, Xie Jinghuai sat upright at the top of the conference table, his long legs elegantly crossed, silently listening to Lin Zhixin's eloquent and insightful discussion of the upgraded chip.
Lin Zhixin pointed out many problems with the products, and even though the person sitting next to her was the powerful person in charge of the group, she showed no fear.
She didn't seem like a subordinate, but rather like the rightful boss's wife of the Xie family.
The people in the R&D department were all talking about it privately, thinking that Director Lin was definitely the president's wife chosen by the Xie family!
President Xie assigned her to the R&D department to elevate her status. With President Xie managing and Director Lin handling the technical aspects, wouldn't they be invincible, like two powerful duo working together?
His phone kept vibrating, and Xie Jinghuai, thoroughly annoyed, answered it, his voice deep and resonant:
"Are you crazy? This is never going to end!"
Do you have medicine?
Shen Zhantang retorted, then curled his lips into a flirtatious smile, "Guess who I ran into?"
"Hang up."
"Alright, alright... I won't keep you in suspense any longer. I was inspecting my family's shopping mall when I ran into your wife, Jiang Shiyuan."
Xie Jinghuai's phoenix eyes narrowed, and he opened his lips neither too loudly nor too softly:
"She's not some ghost that can't be seen in the light. If she's seen, she's seen. Is it really necessary for her to contact me about this?"
