Cheng Siyu leaned on Jingcheng's shoulder, caught a glimpse of his dark face, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Jing Cheng threw his phone onto the table in frustration and said impatiently, "It's okay."
Cheng Siyu heard his tone was different from usual, and felt a sense of crisis. She hurriedly said, "Tomorrow is your birthday party, Ah Cheng. I will accompany you for every birthday in the future."
Jing Cheng's impetuous mood eased a little, "Okay."
*
After the engagement party, the Jing family gave Xie Shizhu an 800-square-meter villa.
The next day, Xie Shizhu and Jing Yan lived together.
The interests involved in the marriage between the Xie family and the Jing family were too huge, and both wanted the marriage to happen as soon as possible, so they agreed without hesitation.
This villa has everything you need. Xie Shizhu only had clothes delivered to her. She didn't like others touching her things, so she spent the whole morning packing her clothes.
After it was over, she decided to thank Jing Yan, after all, he gave her a necklace worth tens of millions.
However, given the Jing family's financial resources, she would not be sincere if she spent the money.
The system, which had been silent until now, spoke: [Host, I'm afraid you're reluctant to spend the money!]
Xie Shizhu found an apron and put it on, busying himself in the kitchen, thinking of cooking a meal for Jing Yan to express his gratitude.
She scrambled eggs while saying, "Nonsense. By the way, what was the result of the last time you said you would report it to the Lord God?"
system:【……】
Xie Shizhu turned the egg over. Without waiting for the system's response, she sighed, "How unprofessional! You're fired."
System: [...Aren't you asleep? ]
"I was just asleep, but I'm still alive and I have ears."
System: [I'm sorry, I will definitely report this to the Lord God next time.]
Hearing the door open, Xie Shizhu added a bowl of water to the pot, put in some noodles, covered the pot, and said, "I'll give you another chance."
The system subconsciously replied: [Thank you.]
After saying this, the system regretted why it thanked a mere tasker.
While cooking, Xie Shizhu thought that if she completed the task according to the rules given by the system, it would mean that there would never be any progress.
So, she must develop according to her own plan.
If we were to make a bolder guess, it would be that the Lord God mentioned by the system actually did not want her to complete the task.
As for why he did this, Xie Shizhu couldn't find the answer.
After all, she had only been in the fast-travel world for a short time and was still a newcomer with little power.
Xie Shizhu left the kitchen. Jing Yan, who had just returned from the office, saw her wearing an apron and raised his lips slightly, "No need to cook, just hire a nanny."
"We definitely have to hire a nanny," Xie Shizhu had never cooked before. When she was a social worker, she relied on takeout for three meals a day. Today, she only cooked to thank Jing Yan. "But I want to cook a meal for you."
After saying that, Xie Shizhu smiled lightly, turned around and went back to the kitchen to continue working.
When Jing Yan heard that she couldn't cook but still wanted to cook for him, his eyes changed slightly, with a hint of surprise.
Then, the assistant behind him sighed: "That's great, Mr. Jing, Miss Xie seems to like you very much and even cooked for you personally."
Yes, Xie Shizhu has been living a life of luxury since she was a child, and has never had to do housework, but now she has broken the rules of a young lady for him.
The assistant's words lingered in Jing Yan's mind, disrupting his thoughts.
The assistant knew it was time for him to leave, so he said goodbye to Xie Shizhu and left in a hurry.
After a while, Xie Shizhu came out of the kitchen holding a bowl in both hands. She seemed to be burned. She put the bowl on the dining table, put her hands on her ears for a few seconds, and then said, "Come and try my cooking."
Jing Yan moved his wheelchair to the dining table. Xie Shizhu handed him the chopsticks, sat opposite Jing Yan, and looked at him expectantly.
"Okay," Jing Yan chuckled, picked up the noodles with chopsticks between his slender fingertips, and took a mouthful slowly. After he swallowed, his thin eyelids twitched.
Xie Shizhu's eyebrows curved, "Is it delicious?"
"...It's delicious." Jing Yan said something that went against his heart for the first time in his life.
Jing Yan knew that the Xie family had a chef who cooked for them, and Xie Shizhu didn't know how to cook, so he added too much salt. But when he thought about Xie Shizhu cooking for him, he still went against his conscience and took the second bite.
It was the first time someone praised her cooking, and Xie Shizhu felt that she had the talent to be a chef.
She propped up her chin, staring at the man's movements that revealed his noble character, and said enthusiastically, "Then I'll cook for you from now on, how about that?"
Jing Yan's fingers gripping the chopsticks froze, "No need to go through so much trouble."
"All right……"
Jing Yan put down his chopsticks, looked up and met Xie Shizhu's gaze, and said in a gentle tone, "Jing Zhiyang gave me the position of vice president of Jing Corporation."
Xie Shizhu nodded, thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I can guess."
Jing Yan suddenly thought of what happened at noon.
When Jing Zhiyang promoted him to vice president, Jing Yan was calmer than he had imagined. He had foreseen this as soon as his engagement party with Xie Shizhu was over.
Jing Zhiyang was reluctant to give him the position of president of Jing Corporation, in fact he was still hesitating.
When he returned to the office, he received a call from Lin Xingsi, the eldest son of the Lin family. The Jing family recently wanted to expand its market and planned to enter the real estate industry, but they had not found suitable land.
Lin is a leader in the real estate industry and took the initiative to extend an olive branch.
Lin Xingsi was not familiar with him, but he was close to Jingcheng. He probably knew that there must be a problem. Last year, the Lin family abandoned a piece of land. Because the location was too remote, the building would only become an unfinished building. The fact that they came to him was nothing more than Jingcheng teaming up with him to attack him.
He hung up the phone without hesitation.
