Chapter 59 Yesterday and Today, I want to clarify things with you about what happened three years ago. ...
Let's rewind to yesterday.
Shen Xiu sent Jiang Xiliu several messages explaining, but Jiang Xiliu did not reply.
This was the first time Jiang Xiliu had taken the initiative to contact him. Although it was for Jin Zhao's sake, it also meant that he was somewhat different, right?
Shen Xiu tossed and turned, checking his phone ten times a minute, and finally sent the chat history to Shen Yu.
Of course, it's the version with the beginning and end cut off and pixelated.
Shen Yu simply said two words: "Idiot."
"He's not as smart as his brother." Shen Xiu was quite the smooth talker. "Your brother was so great. He was almost dying back then, but he still knew to run abroad. How did it feel to wake up and see Jiang Xiliu announcing your breakup?"
He sent a voice message, chuckling, "Dad said that my brother initially wanted to come back. Why didn't he?"
Shen Xiu was happy when he said it, but then realized he was scared and immediately blocked Shen Yu. He was quick on the uptake.
After blocking him, he started thinking again. Jiang Xiliu suddenly asked Jin Zhao, "It must be because they met. Then they must have met near the school."
It's no wonder Shen Xiu thought that way; Jin Zhao, that boring man, usually spends his time either at the hospital or at school, and even his part-time jobs are nearby.
Shen Xiu jumped out of bed, carefully dressed himself in front of the mirror, and then went out to search for Jiang Xiliu and Jin Zhao.
This time, he walked around the school twice, inside and out, and didn't run into them even when he got to the dormitory and was about to close the door.
Really?
Shen Xiu finally suppressed the smile he had deliberately practiced.
Shen Xiu knocked on Jin Zhao's dormitory door with practiced ease. He knew that Jin Zhao's roommates had all gone to do internships, and Jin Zhao was the only one living in the dormitory now.
He knocked for a long time, waking up the people next door, but still couldn't hear any other sounds from the broken wooden door.
There was no point in knocking anymore, so Shen Xiu kicked the door in anger.
The door, which was older than Shen Xiu, collapsed precariously. People from the next dormitory, who came out cursing and swearing, immediately reported Shen Xiu as an eyewitness.
Shenxiu always forgets how much strength he has.
He stared blankly at the door that had fallen heavily to the ground and the dormitory that was indeed empty for a while, before being awakened by the sharp voice of the dormitory supervisor who had rushed over.
"Which dorm are you in? Which college? I need to find your advisor—"
Shen Xiu smiled. He had two small tiger teeth, but they rarely showed. "Call your parents. My brother lives nearby."
Shen Yu certainly wouldn't care about Shen Xiu. It was Shen Xiu who lied to him, saying he had Jiang Xiliu's secret to tell him, which is why he came.
The secret is obviously fake. Shen Yu is a madman, and Shen Xiu is a big liar. He tricked people into coming, got them beaten up in the car, and then snuggled up next to his brother's legs: "Take me to find Jiang Xiliu and Jin Zhao. You pervert will definitely send people to follow them. You must know where they are."
Shen Yu remained silent.
Shen Xiu continued, "You wanted to go yourself, didn't you? You can shift all the blame to me, saying that I followed Jin Zhao and came to his door. You can then get away unscathed and see Jiang Xiliu. Wouldn't that be great?"
After he finished speaking, Shen Yu still ignored him. Shen Xiu then bit his brother's calf. His sharp fangs drew blood, but Shen Yu's leg didn't react at all.
"Wow, he's really good at enduring things!" Shen Xiu admired his brother for this. "Brother!"
Shen Yu glanced down for a second before looking away. He used his cane to push aside the person next to him and calmly gave the driver in the front seat a location.
Shen Xiu thought he was going to take him to find Jiang Xiliu and Jin Zhao, but when they arrived, he realized he was going to pick them up.
After getting into the car, Ye Qishan saw someone sitting on the ground and reacted even more dramatically than Shen Xiu: "Who is this? What are they doing sitting on the ground?"
He kicked Shen Xiu's butt: "Sitting on the ground without a seatbelt is a traffic violation."
Shen Xiu cursed and tried to push aside the people getting on the bus behind him.
What does this fool know? He showed Jiang Xiliu the battle damage specifically.
Although Ye Qishan hasn't been working out lately, his size is still impressive, and he easily kicked the young man, who had just come of age, out of the car.
He looked at Shen Yu: "Why did you bring an outsider with you when you came to see me?"
Shen Yu looked calmly at his legs: "That's Shen Xiu."
Ye Qishan rolled down the car window and grinned at the people outside: "Oh my, it's been so long! My little brother has grown so much."
"Who's your brother?" Shen Xiu was incredibly annoyed, but he had no choice but to follow Shen Yu's lead.
We've already taken the beating, we can't let it go unpunished.
Shen Xiu, shameless and fuming, climbed into the passenger seat.
Ye Qishan, sitting alone in the back seat, was excitedly saying, "Jiang Xiliu has entrusted the wedding arrangements to me."
Shen Xiu initially didn't want to pay attention to the perverts and lunatics in the back row, but upon hearing this, he became a little anxious: "What? You're going to marry Jiang Xiliu?"
Ye Qishan looked at the head in the front row with a complicated expression, then turned his face away: "Shen Yu, do we really have to bring this person who knows nothing with us?"
Shen Yu ignored the two of them, his eyes closed, it was unclear whether he was asleep or thinking about something.
Shen Xiu said confidently, "Just tell me, and I'll know!"
Ye Qishan didn't say anything, rolled his eyes at the impolite young man, and started making calls to make appointments with some well-known wedding planners in the industry.
In the early hours of the morning, three men sat in the VIP room of the store, listening to various introductions from professionals, and finally waited for the wedding planner to arrive.
"What are our core needs?" The person receiving us now is Elena, the planner who was just woken up from bed. She is also the store manager. "Which style does the newcomer prefer?"
Ye Qishan only knew: "If you want something luxurious, money is not a problem."
Shen Xiu knew nothing, but that didn't stop him from spouting nonsense: "There should be two grooms."
Shen Yu did not express any opinion.
Elena is at the top of this industry; what kind of big scene hasn't she seen?
But she had never seen a scene like this before, where a brother was sharing a rice bowl with a man.
She maintained her professional demeanor, taking notes with unwavering focus: "Okay, do the three newcomers have any further thoughts?"
"What three newlyweds?" Ye Qishan patted Shen Xiu on the shoulder. "Don't listen to his nonsense. There are no two grooms."
He was frank, but there was still a hint of jealousy in his tone: "None of the newcomers are here."
"We're just here to get some information. Oh, by the way, all those brochures and stuff you just showed us, please pack them up. We'll ask the couple what they think."
"We'll come to the store after we've decided."
Elena: "...Okay, you're welcome anytime."
A wedding is no simple matter, and Jiang Xiliu's wedding is even more important. Ye Qishan wanted to do everything himself.
Shen Xiu jumped around him, asking a lot of questions.
Shen Yu, on the other hand, was watching. He walked very slowly and watched very slowly, quietly as if he were about to die.
When the three of them came out, it was already broad daylight outside.
But no one felt sleepy, including Ye Qishan, who hadn't rested for nearly thirty hours due to jet lag.
Ye Qishan really wanted to smoke a cigarette to clear his head, but after thinking about it, he took one out and put it in his mouth to chew on it.
Shen Xiu is young and can't handle things. The thought of Jin Zhao and Jiang Xiliu being together makes him extremely annoyed. He doesn't know how the other two men can sit still.
"Give me one." Shen Xiu reached out his hand directly. He had never smoked before, but he had seen his roommates smoke when he lived in the dormitory. He had heard that it could relieve stress.
Ye Qishan tossed it to him: "If you want to smoke, find a corner yourself, don't smoke here."
Shen Xiu was confused. He glanced at his brother and then found a corner to try it out himself.
He came back with a sour face after finishing his cigarette: "Is this fake? This stuff doesn't relieve my annoyance at all."
Ye Qishan smiled at him, Shen Yu glanced at him, and got into the car.
Shen Xiu was baffled: "What does my brother mean?"
Ye Qishan's eyes flickered as he took the worn-out cigarette out of his mouth: "How can a little brat like you not know anything? Jiang Xiliu hates the smell of smoke the most."
Shen Xiu grinded his canine teeth hard and then quickly pulled up his collar to smell them.
He just smoked it, how could it not have any smell?
Throwing away the coat would be better, but Shen Yu and Ye Qishan wouldn't wait for him to buy another one.
Even more outrageous, Shen Yu instructed the driver to open only the passenger side window.
They didn't throw away their clothes; only Shen Xiu was blown around like a fool, and his carefully styled hair became a mess.
"We've arrived." Ye Qishan got out of the car first. "I had an appointment with Jin Zhao at one o'clock this afternoon."
Shen Xiu grumbled, "Damn it, it's still early. Let me go buy some clothes and get my hair and makeup done."
Ye Qishan walked up to Shen Yu: "But it's fine to go up sooner, shall we?"
Shen Yu remained expressionless: "Hmm."
Shen Xiu: "...I want to buy clothes!" No one paid him any attention.
The three entered the elevator, and Shen Xiu, who had been beaten up and was still naked, followed behind them carrying a box of wedding brochures.
Of course, there was also an electronic version, but Ye Qishan mischievously didn't mention it and just let Shen Xiu hold it like that.
The person who opened the door was Jin Zhao. He was not surprised that Ye Qishan had brought other people with him. His gaze lingered on Shen Yu for a little longer.
"There are shoe covers. Put them on and come in quietly."
Shen Xiu disobeyed and shouted, "Why should I listen to you? Where is my sister?"
Jin Zhao was still blocking the doorway: "She's sleeping. If you don't listen, don't come in."
Ye Qishan and Shen Yu changed their shoe covers, and Shen Xiu, after holding back for a moment, snorted and followed suit.
Jin Zhao watched them all change before stepping aside.
He certainly wouldn't treat them with any hospitality, not even offering them a glass of water, and went straight to the point: "Where's the data?"
...
When Jiang Xiliu came out, the ground was covered with all kinds of paper books, all of which Shen Xiu had brought over.
Hearing the door open, the men sitting on the sofa and the floor all looked over.
Jiang Xiliu didn't care at all, only staring at Jin Zhao: "The people you called over?"
Jin Zhao shook his head: "Ye Qishan said he's adjusted to the time difference. He said you told him to adjust his time difference before coming over."
Yes, that's true, but who could have imagined it would happen so quickly?
Jiang Xiliu finally looked at Ye Qishan, who was sitting next to Shen Yu, and she couldn't help but see him.
That's strange, how come they've all lost weight?
Jiang Xiliu frowned slightly: "Ye Er!"
"Shen Xiu brought Shen Yu with him." Ye Qishan lied through his teeth, trying to shift the blame to Shen Xiu. "The two of them were following me, and there was nothing I could do about it."
Shen Xiu: "..."
There is no justice in this world.
However, Jiang Xiliu didn't say anything more. She walked around all the wedding-related items on the ground, seemingly going to get a drink of water.
Jin Zhao stood up and followed behind her: "I've prepared the food. Are you hungry? Shall I cook it for you now?"
Jiang Xiliu's voice was soft: "Okay."
"Then you wait in the room..."
Shen Xiu was the most impatient; he was still thinking of going with them.
Shen Yu, who had barely spoken since entering, finally spoke up: "Sit down, don't move."
Ye Qishan's usually nonchalant voice was now somewhat lowered: "If you want to go crazy, do it when you're alone. Don't make us all get kicked out. Do you know how long your brother has been waiting to see you this once in a while?"
Shen Yu glanced at Ye Qishan, his hand on his leg, unconsciously squeezing it tightly.
Jiang Xiliu heard from System 0777 that they had been there for several hours: "Have you come to any conclusions?"
Jin Zhao's smile faded slightly: "In the end, we should come up with four options for you to choose from."
"No need to choose." Jiang Xiliu watched him busy. "Just decide on the plan you want most, oh, but it can't be simple."
Jin Zhao silently cut up some fruit for her before the meal: "Okay, you go wait outside, the kitchen will smell."
Jiang Xiliu put a piece of food into her mouth while holding the plate, and suddenly said, "Jin Zhao, do you know? I've never been into the kitchen before. I can just tell the chef what I want to eat."
The fruit in my mouth is sweet and juicy: "So be confident in this regard."
“You’ll be given all the respect you deserve at home,” Jiang Xiliu said. “As long as you do what you’re supposed to do, you’ll have everything you need.”
[System 0777's voiceover: The young lady has given me a piece of cake; please have it.]
Jiang Xiliu: "..."
Jin Zhao didn't notice the change in her expression. He stared at what he was holding and gave a very soft "hmm".
Jiang Xiliu walked out, and just as she stepped out of the kitchen's field of vision, she was pulled into a room around the corner by a hand.
The curtains in the room were drawn tightly, the lights were off, and it was pitch black when the door was closed.
I'm leaving next week.
"I want to clarify what happened three years ago with you."
