Chapter 27: A Slightly Awkward Moment in the Air
Yan Zhao was quite surprised to see Wen Xi at the police station.
What are you doing here?
Wen Xi remained silent, while Shang Ze shrank back, wishing he could disappear.
This was the first time in his life he had gotten into a fight and ended up in a police station, but he ended up meeting acquaintances everywhere he went.
What incredible luck!
The next second, Yan Zhao rushed to Lu Jinghuai, who was standing to the side: "Jinghuai, are you alright?!"
Wenxi then noticed Lu Jinghuai sitting by the chair against the wall.
He also had injuries on his face, his collar was a bit messy, and he had a sullen expression, indicating that he was in a bad mood.
Shang Ze thought to himself, "Everyone's here except for my brother."
I can't even imagine how exciting it would be if his brother were here.
Wenxi, uninterested in other people's affairs, kept her eyes straight ahead and left with Shang Ze.
As soon as they left the police station, Shang Ze couldn't contain his curiosity any longer. "Sister-in-law, what's going on here?!"
"Judging from what just happened, did Yan Xu hit Lu Jinghuai and get taken to the police station?"
Wenxi fastened her seatbelt and glanced at him quietly.
Shang Ze immediately fell silent.
Wenxi: "Fasten your seatbelt, and then think about how you're going to beg your brother for forgiveness when you get back."
Shang Ze nodded obediently.
He had originally wanted to ask Wenxi why she said she didn't know Yan Xu, but now he didn't dare to say anything.
When my sister-in-law gets ruthless, she won't even recognize her own brother. If he doesn't behave, he'll probably be kicked out of the car.
Are you hungry?
Wenxi glanced at him.
She'll be picking up Shang Ze around 2 PM; that kid probably hasn't even had lunch yet.
Shang Ze: "A little."
What would you like to eat?
Shang Ze: "Hot pot."
Wenxi: "You've really started this?"
Shang Ze shamelessly said, "Since it's my sister-in-law's treat, I haven't been polite at all."
Seeing his hearty and enthusiastic laughter, Wenxi suddenly said, "You and your brother are really not alike."
"No way!!" Shang Ze disagreed: "Everyone says my brother and I look alike, we can tell at a glance that we're brothers."
"character."
Shang Ze immediately fell silent.
Sister-in-law, do you think your brother is too dull, old-fashioned, and boring...?
Shang Ze mustered his courage and asked softly, "Does my sister-in-law prefer my personality or my brother's?"
Wenxi gripped the steering wheel, her gaze fixed straight ahead: "Your brother is doing well."
Shang Ze immediately grinned, as if Wen Xi were praising him.
"Sister-in-law, you have excellent taste!"
Shang Ze excitedly sent a private message to Shang Chen.
Brother, your wife says you're great, she likes your personality!
Shang Shen was in a meeting and didn't notice the message.
He frowned when he saw the message after the meeting.
Are you with your sister-in-law?
Shang Ze, who was cooking beef in a hot pot restaurant, almost dropped his chopsticks into the pot when he saw Shang Chen's letter.
Wenxi hadn't eaten hotpot; she was drinking coffee. "What's wrong?"
Shang Ze held his phone, his face changing slightly in fright: "My brother messaged me, asking where I am."
Wenxi spoke with the air of an elder: "I'll give him a call, you eat first."
Shang Ze's eyes lit up when he looked at Wen Xi.
Wen Xi dialed Shang Chen's number, but before she could speak, Shang Chen asked, "Has Shang Ze gotten into trouble again?"
Wenxi replied casually, "We're eating."
"Even if it's a big deal, we can talk about it after we finish eating. Don't disturb the children's meal."
At first glance, it sounds like the couple's child has gotten into trouble.
Wenxi herself didn't realize that there was a faint sense of familiarity and intimacy in her tone.
Shang Chen was silent for a moment: "Okay."
Where are you eating?
Wenxi: "You're coming?"
Upon hearing this, Shang Ze quickly waved his hand.
Wenxi: "I'll message you later, I'm hanging up now."
Seeing that Wenxi had hanged himself so easily, Shang Ze was utterly impressed.
He would never have dared to hang up on his older brother in his entire life.
Shang Ze plans to start clinging to his sister-in-law's coattails from today onwards.
Wenxi: "Just eat first, we can talk about it later."
While eating, Shang Ze said, "Sister-in-law, this is the first time I've ever seen someone arrange my brother like this."
“In the past, when my brother wanted to scold me, my parents couldn’t stop him.”
Wenxi: "It seems you do get scolded quite often."
Shang Ze: "..."
With Wenxi blocking the way, Shang Ze enjoyed his meal very much.
Wenxi asked, "Are you full?"
Shang Ze: "I'm full... Sister-in-law, I'll treat you to a big meal when I get my living expenses!"
Wenxi: "Go see your brother after you're full."
Shang Ze: "I...would you like to eat some more?"
Under Wen Xi's calm gaze, Shang Ze obediently stood up.
As Wenxi was leaving the hot pot restaurant, she bumped into Jiang, the lawyer from Zhongda.
Attorney Jiang asked in surprise, "Attorney Wen, isn't today a case presentation session held by the law firm?"
"What's this?" Her gaze swept back and forth between Wen Xi and Shang Ze, a half-smile playing on her lips as she teased, "You're quite a young man, your client?"
Attorney Jiang went to retrieve some documents today and missed the law firm's meeting.
Wenxi: "The person in the underground parking garage last time was also quite young, was he also one of Attorney Jiang's clients?!"
Attorney Jiang's expression changed slightly.
Wenxi took Shang Ze away and drove to the Shang Group Building.
This time, it was Assistant Wu who came to pick them up.
While riding in Shang Chen's private elevator, Shang Ze couldn't help but ask Wen Xi, "Sister-in-law, what's this underground parking garage all about?"
Assistant Wu couldn't help but glance at him.
Wen Xi's expression was indifferent: "Are you a bit too gossipy?"
Shang Ze's personality is completely different from Shang Chen's.
Shang Ze: "Ahem, I get nervous just thinking about seeing my brother. I'll eat some melon to calm down."
"You should be nervous." Wen Xi raised an eyebrow and glanced at Shang Ze: "You've gotten yourself into a fight and ended up in the police station. You still want to be a bystander?"
"Don't worry, you'll be the one who gets caught in the crossfire soon."
Shang Ze: "..."
His sister-in-law talks more than his brother, but every word she says is hurtful.
With Assistant Wu leading the way, Wen Xi went directly into Shang Chen's office this time.
As soon as Shang Ze came in, he automatically turned into a good boy and sat obediently on the sofa.
Assistant Wu: "Madam, Second Young Master, what would you like to drink?"
Wenxi: "Warm water is fine."
Shang Ze glanced at him: "When is my brother coming?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shang Chen, dressed in a black suit, pushed open the door and entered. His eyes were deep and cold, and his steps were steady.
As soon as he entered, the atmosphere around him seemed to become solemn.
Shang Ze stood up instinctively: "Brother."
Shang Chen didn't even glance at Shang Ze, his gaze fixed on Wen Xi, his tone still relatively gentle: "Did this interfere with your work?"
"It's alright." Wen Xi met Shang Ze's pleading gaze and slowly spoke, "It's a good opportunity to skip a meeting."
Director Liu of the law firm loves to hold seminars all the time, sometimes lasting two or three hours and consisting of nothing but pointless chatter and empty hype.
Wenxi left halfway, drawing envious glances from all directions.
Shang Chen's eyes showed some disapproval.
Is it true that no boss in the world can stand seeing their employees sneaking out of meetings?
"Would you like to attend a lecture at our law firm sometime?"
"I'll go if I have the chance."
Wenxi smiled.
She didn't know what Shang Chen was like in the conference room, but he couldn't possibly be rambling on and on, or constantly getting all worked up.
She was very curious about Shang Chen's reaction after listening to Director Liu's three-hour meeting.
Wen Xi took the warm water that Assistant Wu brought her. "Would you like me to leave for a moment?"
Shang Ze said longingly, "Sister-in-law..."
Shang Chen: "No need."
He sat down on the sofa, his expression somber, and glanced at Shang Ze.
Are you waiting for me to ask first?
Shang Ze lowered his head and took the initiative to explain the situation.
After listening, Shang Chen only asked one question: "Who told you to call your sister-in-law?"
Shang Ze timidly confessed, "I overheard some police officers talking about my sister-in-law, so I thought I'd call her."
When Wenxi heard her name called, she looked up at Shang Ze.
"It seems there's a policeman who likes your wife and is planning to pursue her."
Wenxi: "..."
I was stabbed unexpectedly.
Wenxi's gaze fell on Shang Chen, but unexpectedly, Shang Chen was also looking at her.
Their eyes met, and there was a slight awkwardness in the air.
