After listening to his subordinates' report, Xi Chenzhu held his phone tightly, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked at the hustle and bustle of traffic downstairs with a slightly dim look in his eyes.
Jiang Wanyan had nowhere to go for the time being, so she returned to the Xi family.
Xi Nuannuan raised her head from the sofa and said unhappily, "Are you back to cause trouble again?"
Jiang Wanyan asked helplessly: "Nuannuan, why do you have such a big opinion about me?"
"You didn't know what you did?"
Xi Nuannuan frowned, and seeing that Jiang Wanyan was confused, she handed her the phone.
"Look for yourself. If it weren't for my acquaintance telling me, the whole of G City would know about it now!"
Jiang Wanyan looked at the information in her hand and her face turned pale.
The person on the other side contacted Xi Nuannuan and said that someone wanted to spread the rumor that Jiang Wanyan met with He Ming in private because she was still attached to her ex-husband, and asked Xi Nuannuan if she needed to stop it.
Xi Nuannuan asked the other party to intercept without saying a word.
Jiang Wanyan suspected that He Ming did it. He Ming thought she still liked him, so it was not surprising that he would do such a thing.
Of course, He Ming might simply want to disgust her.
“Nuannuan…” Jiang Wanyan wanted to explain, but seeing Xi Nuannuan’s expression that she was certain it was her who did it, she didn’t explain and sighed, “Thank you. This won’t happen again.”
Xi Nuannuan snatched the phone back and said angrily, "Do you think I did this for you? I did this for my brother. I don't know why my brother would fall for you."
Jiang Wanyan smiled bitterly. How could Xi Chenzhu possibly like her? They were just getting what they wanted.
Xi Nuannuan lowered her head and continued playing with her phone. Seeing that Xi Fei was not there, Jiang Wanyan took the initiative to cook.
During these years in the He family, Jiang Wanyan's cooking skills have been excellent. Although she is not as good as a five-star chef, she is still comparable to most chefs.
She simply prepared four dishes and a soup. When she brought the last dish to the table, Xi Chenzhu just came back.
Seeing Jiang Wanyan, he glanced at his sister and asked, "Where's Mom?"
Xi Nuannuan was playing games and said without looking up, "Mom went out to play with her friends."
Jiang Wanyan silently put the bowl and pair of chopsticks back.
Seeing her brother sit down, Xi Nuannuan yawned and quit the game. After sitting down, she deliberately picked at the food and said disdainfully, "What the hell is this? Is it edible?"
Jiang Wanyan said softly, "Try it."
Jiang Wanyan expressed her understanding. After all, she was Xi Chenzhu's younger sister. She was used to eating delicacies from land and sea, and might not be used to eating home-cooked meals.
Xi Nuannuan put down her chopsticks forcefully, crossed her arms over her chest, and didn't give her any face at all.
"If you like eating, eat it yourself. I'm afraid I'll get an upset stomach."
Jiang Wanyan was really angry this time. She ignored Xi Nuannuan and lowered her head to eat her own food.
"Don't eat it."
Jiang Wanyan was stunned, put down her chopsticks hesitantly, and stared at Xi Chenzhu blankly.
It seems like she did nothing wrong, right?
She glanced at Xi Nuannuan and immediately understood.
Xi Chenzhu wanted to stand up for Xi Nuannuan.
Jiang Wanyan felt bitter, but also felt it was natural.
Xi Nuannuan is a member of the Xi family. She is just an outsider, an outsider who may leave at any time.
Jiang Wanyan lowered her head and subconsciously clenched her fists.
She was waiting for Xi Chenzhu to get angry with her. Although she was used to being humble in the He family, she still couldn't help feeling sad.
Despite being sad, she became even more determined to become independent as soon as possible and not rely on anyone.
She had to work harder, become rich and capable, and strive to support herself and Liang Manzhu as soon as possible, without having to worry about He Ming's revenge. Then she could leave the Xi family without worries and without having to look at anyone's face.
"Evening smoke?"
The gentle voice made Jiang Wanyan stunned for a moment. She looked up at Xi Chenzhu in confusion.
Xi Chenzhu asked helplessly: "What's wrong with you?"
Jiang Wanyan shook her head and whispered, "Nothing, go ahead."
Xi Chenzhu looked at her for a moment, then said to Xi Nuannuan sternly, "Who allowed you to be so rude?"
"Me?" Xi Nuannuan pointed at herself, unable to believe that Xi Chenzhu was talking about her.
Like Jiang Wanyan, she thought Xi Chenzhu was talking about Jiang Wanyan.
Xi Chenzhu frowned slightly, "Are you talking about your sister-in-law?"
"Wanyan worked so hard to cook, and not only did you not help, but you also made sarcastic remarks?"
Xi Nuannuan was speechless after being asked by Xi Chenzhu.
The Xi family's tutor is here, so of course she knows that this is wrong.
However, in front of Jiang Wanyan, she pursed her lips stubbornly, unwilling to admit her mistake.
Jiang Wanyan realized that Xi Chenzhu was not talking about her and was about to say a few words on behalf of Xi Nuannuan.
But when she looked up, she saw Xi Nuannuan glaring at her resentfully, and she immediately gave up the idea of speaking up for her.
She has a soft personality, but is always bullied intentionally or unintentionally. She is also a human being and will be unhappy.
Jiang Wanyan pretended not to see Xi Nuannuan's expression and looked at the bowl in front of her seriously.
Xi Nuannuan's face turned red and blue, and she suddenly stood up. The chair rubbed against the ground, making a harsh sound.
"Go away." Xi Chenzhu said expressionlessly.
Xi Nuannuan gritted her teeth, sat down reluctantly, and ate while holding her breath, not daring to cause trouble again.
At least he didn't dare to cause trouble in front of Xi Chenzhu.
Xi Nuannuan is still a child who knows nothing about the world, and her emotions are written all over her face.
Jiang Wanyan didn't think too much about it and focused on eating.
Xi Nuannuan went back to her room after eating only a few bites.
After Jiang Wanyan finished eating, she cleaned up the dishes, put them in the dishwasher, and returned to her room.
She might run into Xi Nuannuan in the living room, but Jiang Wanyan didn't want to meet her.
Every time Jiang Wanyan saw her, nothing good happened, and she didn't want to spend time trying to please her.
Not long after Jiang Wanyan entered the room, Xi Chenzhu followed in.
After Xi Chenzhu came in, he didn't say anything, just looked at her.
