Seeing that he looked like he was about to leave, Yu Sheng guessed that he was probably going to the store like the others!
When she looked at him, he looked at her too.
When their eyes met, Yu Sheng nodded as a greeting.
Even though Gu Ye didn't like Shang Yan, she would still greet him every time they met, so at least they maintained a polite distance.
Last night's events caused him to break off relations with Shang Yan, so naturally he wouldn't greet him anymore.
He glanced at Shang Yan with disdain, then put his arm around Yu Sheng and walked toward the car next to him.
If Shang Yan wasn't there, Yu Sheng would remove Gu Ye's hand from her waist.
But doing that in front of Shang Yan would make him doubt their marital relationship...
Regardless of whether she and Gu Ye divorce, their marriage must at least be maintained before Xiao Cheng's surgery.
Gu Ye put his arm around her and led her to the passenger seat. He opened the door for her, fastened her seatbelt himself, then walked around the front of the car, got into the driver's seat, and drove past Shang Yan.
Just as their car left the residential area, a luxurious-looking Continental SUV sped out from behind them.
Once Gu recognized Shang Yan's car, he stepped on the gas and chased after it without a second thought.
The moment he surpassed Shang Yan, the corners of his mouth turned up, like a victorious winner.
But soon, Shang Yan caught up with him again.
For the rest of the journey, the two of them were constantly chasing each other!
The contest, which Yu Sheng found extremely boring, finally came to an end when Shang Yan took the lead and parked his car in front of the shop's gate!
Yu Jing was sitting in the living room drinking tea when she saw them come in together. She smiled and stood up, saying, "Why did you all come together?"
"I happened to run into him when I went out."
Yu Jing was taken aback when she heard Shang Yan say this: "One of you came from the south and the other from the north, how did you happen to run into each other?"
Gu Ye smiled gently: "You don't know yet? My brother moved to our neighborhood, and he's right next door to us."
Yu Jing looked at Shang Yan, who had settled on the sofa and was slowly eating a handful of raisins: "Didn't you live in Fulton? Why did you suddenly move to Sheng Sheng Community?"
"I bought a property there a few years ago and have always lived in Meizhu. Recently, I've been going to the factory a lot, and since it's close to the factory, I moved there!" As she said this, she smiled and glanced at Gu Ye: "I just didn't expect that my neighbors would be them."
Shang Yan's posture was languid, his tone casual, and he spoke as if it were the truth.
But Gu didn't believe a single word of it.
Shang Yan knew he didn't believe him, but he didn't care; as long as Yu Jing believed him, that was enough.
Yu Jing not only believed it, but also exclaimed, "That's quite a coincidence! Since you two live together, it's good that you can look out for each other... Sheng Sheng, your brother lives alone, so he must eat very casually. If you cook, invite him over to eat with us!"
Gu Ye's eyes turned cold upon hearing Yu Jing's words.
In order to help Yu Sheng get along well with Shang Yan, Yu Jing kept urging Yu Sheng to flatter Shang Yan.
He knew about this.
He had always disliked this.
I think Yu Sheng is a tool for Yu Jing to build relationships with business partners.
Although he felt sorry for Yu Sheng, he couldn't say anything every time Yu Jing did that.
One reason is that she is his elder.
Secondly, it's the merchant's business.
Even though he is now the son-in-law of a merchant, he cannot interfere in his mother-in-law's family affairs.
If it weren't for what happened last night, even if he felt disgusted by Yu Jing's words, he wouldn't have said anything more.
but,
After what happened last night, if he doesn't say something now, it would be as if he tacitly approved of his wife working as Shang Yan's nanny.
Especially when Shang Yan looked at him with a smile, his posture seemed to be a provocation.
So Gu smiled and said, "Sheng Sheng and I are looking for a nanny recently. Since Mom is worried that my brother isn't eating well, I'll find one for him too. That way, you won't have to worry!"
Yu Jing thought that Gu Ye was so smart that he couldn't possibly not guess that she asked Yu Sheng to invite Shang Yan to their house for dinner in order to ease the tension between the siblings. If that was the case, then what did he mean by saying that?
Yu Jing was unaware of Gu Ye's meaning, but Shang Yan knew it. He smiled at Gu Ye and said, "Since my brother-in-law is so kind, I naturally cannot refuse. Thank you for your trouble!"
"You're too kind, bro. I was just doing it on the spur of the moment!"
Gu Ye looked at Shang Yan, his smugness undisguised.
Clearly, Gu also had a slight advantage in this round.
Shang Yan didn't mind at all.
He was a businessman who knew that doing business required a long-term perspective, not just short-term gains.
The same applies to poaching someone from a wall!
"Where's my dad?" Shang Yan asked, looking at Yu Jing.
"Your dad isn't feeling well and is lying in the house."
Shang Yan knew without asking why Shang Shichang was feeling unwell, and Yu Sheng knew as well, but Gu was the only one who didn't.
However, Gu also deduced from Yu Jing's expression when she said those words, as well as Yu Sheng's expression, that Shang Shichang's illness was related to Shang Yan.
He asked curiously, "Dad, what's wrong?"
Although Gu was a good son-in-law to Yu Jing, she wouldn't tell him that Shang Yan had found a married woman. She simply said, "He caught a cold last night, but it's nothing serious."
After saying that, he sent Sister Wang to call Shang Shichang.
Five days ago, Shang Shichang was devastated when he learned that his outstanding son had fallen in love with a married woman.
He forced himself to attend Yu Sheng's wedding day.
After the wedding, he became completely despondent!
He had barely eaten or slept these past few days, his mind filled with thoughts of Shang Yan finding a married woman.
When Sister Wang knocked on the door to inform him that Shang Yan, Yu Sheng, and Gu Ye had arrived, he was staring blankly out the window.
He didn't want to see anyone, and he especially didn't want to see that unfilial son.
But it wouldn't be good for him not to show up when Yu Sheng returned to her parents' home, so he forced himself to get out of bed.
To make himself look less disheveled, he tidied himself up in front of the mirror before going downstairs.
Businessmen are good at disguising themselves.
So even if Shang Shichang was unhappy inside, he pretended very well when he came downstairs and said with a smile, "You're here!"
Gu Ye, who was sitting on the sofa talking to Yu Jing, immediately stood up when he heard Shang Shichang's voice: "Dad, Mom said you caught a cold. I'll invite Old Zhong over to take a look at you later."
Shang Shichang coughed twice, feigning nonchalance: "No need, I just caught a bit of a cold, some medicine will do. Now that we're all here, let's start eating!"
Gu also noticed that Shang Shichang didn't even glance at Shang Yan.
During the meal, he ignored Shang Yan.
Gu Ye couldn't figure out what was going on between the father and son, and looked at Shang Yan: "Brother, how are things between you and Sister Su Su?"
Gu Ye brought up this topic casually, in order to bring Shang Yan into the spotlight.
But he keenly sensed that the atmosphere at the dinner table immediately became awkward after he asked the question.
Something was also off about the faces of Shang Shichang, Yu Jing, and Yu Sheng.
Only Shang Yan showed the same expression as before.
Gu Ye immediately guessed that the discord between father and son was probably related to Shang Yan and Li Susu's blind date.
Shang Yan said casually, "It's not a good match, let's break up!"
"Why?"
Gu also asked.
