Jingcheng's birthday party was held in a party mode, and by the afternoon a group of young people were drunk.
Lin Xingsi regained some consciousness and was about to wash his face when the cell phone on the table rang. He picked up the phone and answered it in a daze. After a two-minute conversation, he hung up the phone, still a little bit unbelievable.
Then he woke up Jingcheng who was lying on the sofa.
Jing Cheng was disturbed from sleeping and asked impatiently: "What are you doing?"
Lin Xingsi said excitedly: "Jing Yan agreed."
Jing Cheng sobered up completely after hearing this. He quickly sat up, eyes wide open, and asked, "Is this true?"
Lin Xingsi showed him the call records on his phone. "How could I lie to you?"
After seeing the phone interface clearly, Jing Cheng's face was filled with excitement. This was probably the best news he had heard on his birthday.
Yesterday, he was in a low mood after seeing the family photo on Jing Yu's circle of friends. Someone posted this photo online, and it instantly caused heated discussion, especially the tears of the ocean on Xie Shizhu's neck, which directly revealed the identity of a mysterious person a few days ago, and Xie Shizhu suddenly became the most envied woman by netizens.
Her future husband is handsome and is the eldest son of the Jing Group. Xie Shizhu herself is beautiful and rich.
Previously, news about Xie Shizhu being broken off from engagement by the second son of the Jing family had appeared online. When netizens saw this photo, they commented in unison: Isn't this better than the second son of the Jing family who beat people?
Jing Cheng's face turned as dark as iron when he saw those remarks, especially since Jing Yan became the vice president after getting engaged to Xie Shizhu.
He knew he couldn't sit still and wait for death, so he talked about it with Lin Xingsi at the birthday party.
Lin had been troubled by this mess, and when Jingcheng proposed this, she agreed without hesitation.
Jing Cheng was sober now. He stood up and said to Lin Xingsi, "I'll thank you after Jing Yan steps down from the position of vice president."
Lin Xingsi said, "Brother, you're welcome."
Jing Cheng went to the bathroom and splashed cold water on his face. He looked at himself in the mirror and sneered.
He not only hoped that something bad would happen to Jing Yan, he even wanted to teach Xie Shizhu a lesson. He wanted to let Xie Shizhu know that even as the eldest daughter of the Xie family, she could not let Jing Yan inherit the Jing family.
At night.
Jing Yan and Xie Shizhu sleep in separate rooms. Among the cooperation conditions that Xie Shizhu gave to Jing Yan, one of them was that except for acting in front of others, they could not interfere with each other's freedom.
Xie Shizhu slept soundly, but Jing Yan couldn't fall asleep.
The two people were separated by only a wall, but their moods were completely different.
Today is the weekend, Jing Yan did not go to work, but stayed in the villa with Xie Shizhu.
Even on his day off, Jing Yan sat on the sofa with his notebook flat on his knees, still working.
Xie Shizhu took a cup of warm water and placed it on the table, then sat down beside him. Jing Yan looked at Xie Shizhu and said softly, "Thank you."
"You are welcome."
After a while, an unexpected guest came to the villa. Xie Shizhu got up to open the door and saw that it was Liu Lan standing outside. He was not surprised at all and greeted her with a smile, "Auntie, why are you here?"
"I came to see you and Jing Yan," Liu Lan walked straight in, glanced at Jing Yan sitting in the living room, and said, "Are you used to living here?"
Xie Shizhu nodded, sat down next to Jing Yan again, gently took his arm, leaned his head on Jing Yan's shoulder, and smiled sweetly: "It's a habit. Auntie, do you want some water?"
Because they were at home, the two of them were only wearing casual clothes. The fabric of the clothes was very thin in the summer, and Xie Shizhu's body temperature directly penetrated the fabric and touched Jing Yan's skin.
Jing Yan couldn't calm down and continue looking at the computer, so he closed the notebook and put it aside, trying his best to suppress the strangeness in his heart.
Liu Lan glanced at the two of them and felt uncomfortable seeing Jing Yan and Xie Shizhu being so affectionate.
"Okay, thank you for your help," Liu Lan came here with a clear purpose, and she deliberately sent Xie Shizhu away.
Xie Shizhu got up to make tea and deliberately stayed in the kitchen longer. When he came out, the joy on Liu Lan's face was beyond words.
After she gently placed the teacup in front of Liu Lan, Liu Lan was already planning to leave. She said goodbye to the two of them and left in a hurry.
Xie Shizhu looked at her back, the corner of his mouth raised, "Have you taken the bait?"
Jing Yan nodded, "Yes."
Xie Shizhu took a sip of the tea he had brewed. "Then can I change my address to calling you Mr. Jing?"
Jing Yan turned his head to look at Xie Shizhu, his deep eyes concealing an emotion that Xie Shizhu could not understand. Jing Yan said, "She knew that Jing's company was expanding into the real estate industry and took the initiative to want to join this project, and she wanted to do it under the name of Jing Cheng."
"Yeah, just as I expected."
Xie Shizhu felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Jing Yan. To be honest, she wasn't obsessed with looks, but Jing Yan's face was too perfect. She didn't dare to look at him any further and was ready to find an excuse to escape. "I'll get you another glass of water."
She just stood up when Jing Yan grabbed her wrist. The man's cold palm made Xie Shizhu stiffen all over.
"No need," Jing Yan stared at her and said, "I'm not thirsty."
Xie Shizhu looked down at the hand holding her wrist, which was slender, white, and with distinct joints. "You are not thirsty, but I am."
She quickly pulled her hand free, picked up the cup on the table and slipped away.
Jing Yan stared at her back as she almost fled in panic, a smile appearing on the corner of his lips.
Xie Shizhu returned to the bedroom, closed the door, and let out a long breath.
This was only the first day they were truly together, and she was already feeling overwhelmed.
Xie Shizhu had never failed in dealing with people in the business world, but being in the same space with Jing Yan was a little different.
