"No need," Jiang Yuhuai accidentally caught a glimpse of the woman's smooth and slender legs from the corner of his eye, and his voice gradually became hoarse, "The weather has turned cold these days, so wear something thicker."
"Thank you, boss."
Xie Shizhu's dark eyes were filled with emotion. Perhaps it was because she had never received care and concern from others, so if someone showed a little kindness, she would be willing to trust that person.
Even if you've only known this person for about a month.
Jiang Yuhuai's deep gaze was a little dazed when he looked into Xie Shizhu's eyes.
My heart inexplicably became complicated and uncomfortable.
Xie Shizhu is grateful to himself in this way, and he will also relax his vigilance towards others under the care of another person.
"Go to bed early."
Jiang Yuhuai said this and turned to leave Xie Shizhu, but his steps were slow, and it seemed that he did not disappear from Xie Shizhu's sight as quickly as before.
Hearing the door slam, Xie Shizhu smiled and slept on the sofa all night.
When I woke up, it was already noon the next day.
She struggled to read several missed calls on the broken phone screen.
Several of the calls were from parents, and one was from Zhou Yuan.
Xie Shizhu called his mother back. The other party quickly picked up and, before Xie Shizhu could say anything, she snarled, "Have you grown wings? I remember you got your salary. It's time to send money home."
"I've paid all my earnings for rent," Xie Shizhu said, preferring to spend the money on himself and enjoy life rather than give it to them. "Let's wait until next month."
"What?" the mother yelled immediately when she heard this. "We have to wait again."
Xie Shizhu's lips curled up in a sarcastic arc: "Hmm."
Without waiting for his mother to finish speaking, Xie Shizhu hung up the phone.
Tsk, vampire-like parents, so pathetic.
Just as he hung up, another call came in. Xie Shizhu picked up the phone, and Zhou Yuan's voice came from the receiver: "Why don't you answer the phone?"
"Ah...I was just sleeping."
Zhou Yuan and Wu Xuan waited from morning till noon, but what they saw was Xie Shizhu sleeping in.
Zhou Yuan's face suddenly darkened, and she said coldly, "Didn't I say I'd go to your place to play today? Did you forget?"
Xie Shizhu stretched his muscles and apologized deeply, "I worked too late yesterday."
"..." Zhou Yuan said patiently, "Send me the address."
"good."
Xie Shizhu sent the location and took another nap.
An hour later, there was a knock on the door. She slowly got up and went to open the door in her slippers.
Two people dressed extremely beautifully were standing outside the door. Zhou Yuan and Wu Xuan looked at each other, then walked in as if they were entering their own home.
Xie Shizhu closed the door and quietly reminded them, "Um...change your slippers."
Zhou Yuan's face froze. When had Xie Shizhu ever dared to ask her to do anything?
Naturally, they did not follow Xie Shizhu's advice.
Zhou Yuan sat down on the sofa, looked around, and said sarcastically, "You're not really doing something else with Jiang Yuhuai like Cheng Anan said?"
Because they didn't change their shoes, Xie Shizhu's face flashed with helplessness. Then, he was slightly stunned when he heard Zhou Yuan's pointed words. "You... why would you say that?"
Zhou Yuan pointed to a vase not far away and said, "This vase is an antique. With your salary, how can you possibly afford to rent it?"
As soon as the words fell, Wu Xuan's eyes flashed with mockery, and then she echoed: "Yes, Xie Shizhu, if you have financial difficulties, you can tell us. Zhou Yuan is your friend and will definitely lend you money to tide you over the difficulties, but you can't sell yourself out..."
Xie Shizhu knew that he could no longer sit and wait for death like before. Even with the original owner's simple personality, he could hear the thorn in their words.
"Don't talk nonsense," Xie Shizhu bit her lip. Her eyes were red because of the misunderstanding. She looked at Zhou Yuan and said sadly, "Zhou Yuan, I don't care if others misunderstand me, but you are my friend. You know my personality. How could you do this to me?"
Zhou Yuan looked at her and looked away guiltily.
The other side.
Jiang Yuhuai was resting at home. He made a cup of coffee and sat in front of the computer, looking at the three people on the screen. His eyes gradually became cold, and the conversation inside was clearly heard by his ears.
In the past, he thought that the daughter of the Wu family had no bad intentions except that she was spoiled and willful.
But now we can see what a dirty heart lies beneath this beautiful appearance.
Now the Wu family is not as glorious as before. Last night, Wu Xuan's father personally extended an olive branch to him, wanting him to buy shares to save the Wu family from gradual decline.
Cheng's was acquired overnight, implicating several similar companies, including, of course, Wu Xuan's family.
Jiang Yuhuai originally had the intention, but now he feels it is unnecessary.
He turned off the computer, picked up the car keys on the table, and drove to his destination.

Wu Xuan crossed her legs and thought that Zhou Yuan might still be concerned about Xie Shizhu because he had some value to her.
But she won't.
Wu Xuan leaned back and said, "Xie Shizhu, we didn't say anything, so why are you feeling wronged? Besides, we don't care about your occupation. After all, there's nothing shameful about making money with your own abilities."
After saying this, she smiled meaningfully.
Xie Shizhu lowered her head and said nothing. After a long moment, she suddenly looked up. Her aggrieved expression had softened considerably. She even nodded in agreement, curling her lips and saying, "Well, you're right. It's not shameful to use your abilities to make money. It's better than always relying on your family. Sorry, I was too impulsive just now."
The smile on Wu Xuan's lips froze. Xie Shizhu's answer was not what she wanted.
It was obvious that she came here to humiliate Xie Shizhu, not to let Xie Shizhu make indirect accusations.
"Since you've come to play with me, I welcome you." Xie Shizhu glanced at them. "I'll go get you some water. Do you want it cold or hot?"
Wu Xuan crossed her arms and said sullenly, "It's hot."
Xie Shizhu nodded, turned around and took two cups from the cupboard in the distance, and placed them on the water dispenser. She watched the boiling water fill the cups, raised her eyebrows and chuckled.
While she was getting water, Wu Xuan asked questioningly, "The monthly rent here is around 10,000 yuan. Where does Xie Shizhu get the money from?"
Zhou Yuan pondered for a long time, but could not think of a reason. The only possible reason she could think of was: "Maybe one of her guests rented it to her?"
When Wu Xuan heard this, she laughed mockingly: "That's right, when I go back and check the owner of the house, I'll know which old man helped her."
Xie Shizhu walked up to them with two glasses of water, placed the mugs neatly in order, and gently pushed them in front of the two of them.
Wu Xuan closed her mouth, picked up the cup and took a sip. The scalding hot water suddenly entered her mouth and spread to the tip of her tongue. It burned her so much that she opened her eyes wide and spit out the water.
