Chapter 117 I deserve to die!
Ms. Qi smiled but remained silent.
Yan Buyu explained tactfully, "Big brother, that day when I went out with Brother Jingxu, didn't I give a pair of earrings to a lady, Ms. Qi?"
After she finished speaking, she herself felt it was a coincidence.
Shen Yanzhou knew about this. After hearing Si Jing's story that day, he felt that his sister was wronged, so he found a designer to arrange some custom orders for her.
Unexpectedly, the other party was Ms. Qi.
"That's really a coincidence; you two are quite destined to be together."
Shen Yanzhou smiled sincerely.
At this point in his life, the two most important women in his life met ahead of time in such a heartwarming coincidence.
Silently watching Ms. Qi, Yan Buyu understood where that familiar feeling of warmth came from when they first met that day.
Her older brother looks about 70% like her, especially in the way he speaks gently.
My fondness for Ms. Qi stems from her striking resemblance to my elder brother.
At the same time, I was extremely glad that I had given away the jewelry.
Otherwise, if they met now, not only would she be embarrassed, but her older brother would also be in a very awkward situation.
It's easy to guess that the older brother spoke highly of himself to Ms. Qi.
“Yanzhou mentioned you on the phone. He really hopes we can meet,” Ms. Qi said, taking a velvet box out of her bag and pushing it in front of Yan Buyu. “What’s yours will eventually come back to you.”
She opened it without saying a word; it was the feather earrings she had tried on that day.
“I’ve only seen your back view in Yanzhou’s WeChat Moments. I know your name is Buyu. The day I got off the plane and went to the mall, I saw you trying on these earrings. For some reason, I wanted to give them to Buyu, whom I’ve never met.” Ms. Qi spoke slowly, gently but firmly.
Without saying a word, my nose suddenly felt sore.
"Thank you, Ms. Qi. I'm sorry, I didn't prepare a gift for you." Yan Buyu carefully put away the pair of earrings, as if they were precious treasures.
"It's my fault. I wanted to surprise Buyu, so I only told her today that I was going to bring her out." Shen Yanzhou put some food on Yan Buyu's plate and comforted her gently, "Ms. Qi won't mind."
"You've already given it to me, young lady. Your gentleness and kindness are the best gift." Ms. Qi raised her glass. "I hope to see you more often in the future."
Without saying a word, he raised his juice and clinked it against Ms. Qi's glass.
During the meal, Shen Yanzhou and Ms. Qi did not talk much.
Ms. Qi asked him how his work was going lately, how the project was progressing, and if there was anything she could help with.
Shen Yanzhou answered each question in turn.
When they occasionally talk about Yan Buyu, Shen Yanzhou tends to be more talkative.
"I'm only staying in Suzhou for two days, I'm going back to England tomorrow," Ms. Qi said after finishing her meal, as she answered a phone call before leaving. "Yanzhou, you're welcome to bring your little sister to visit sometime. I just bought an old castle, and I think the little girl will love it."
“Okay, I’ll make arrangements when I have the chance.” Shen Yanzhou’s attitude towards her was polite but distant. “Ms. Qi, please be careful on your way back. See you again when you have the chance.”
Ms. Qi nodded, then looked at Yan Buyu, "Young lady, we'll meet again someday."
"Goodbye, Ms. Qi." Yan Buyu stood obediently beside Shen Yanzhou and waved.
Shen Yanzhou stood at the intersection, watching Ms. Qi's car leave.
Turning around, I noticed that Yan Buyu's mood seemed off.
"Not speaking? Are you feeling unwell?" he asked anxiously. "Did your stomach hurt from what you ate earlier?"
The next second, Yan Buyu, who had been looking down, reached out and hugged Shen Yanzhou tightly, burying his head in his chest.
Shen Yanzhou was taken aback, his hands hovering helplessly in the air. "Buyu? Why are you crying?"
"Big brother, I'm sorry," Yan Buyu said, his voice trembling with tears, "I misunderstood you before."
For so many years before, her older brother would call her every quarter to ask about her academic performance.
She only thought that her older brother was just going through the motions and putting on a show.
She was not only afraid of Shen Yanzhou, but also often complained to Shen Yunqi.
Until today, when she saw how her older brother and his mother interacted, she immediately understood.
The older brother wasn't just putting on a show; he was simply transferring the familial affection he felt onto her.
Every phone call begins with – “Hello, no comment.”
At the end of each call—"Is there anything I can help you with?"
Not once missed.
It was exactly the same pattern Ms. Qi had used on him earlier.
He wasn't pretending; he just hadn't felt much family affection.
No one had ever done those things to him, and he didn't know how to get along with his family.
He could only treat her, whom he wanted to treat as family, with the same kindness he had received from his mother.
Over time, people began to think that was Shen Yanzhou's style.
And no one taught him what to do.
Yan Buyu became more and more heartbroken as she spoke, sobbing uncontrollably in Shen Yanzhou's arms.
"I'm sorry, big brother, I'm so sorry. I said a lot of bad things about you to my brother back then, sob sob sob. I was really scared of you, but I didn't know, sob sob sob, I really didn't know."
Shen Yanzhou was both amused and exasperated. He wrapped his arms around his sister, patted her back, and said gently, but his movements were clumsy. "Alright, don't cry. Be good. Your big brother has never blamed you."
The more he said this, the more guilty he felt.
"Waaah, I'm so sorry, I'm really sorry, big brother, you can scold me a couple of times, or you can go back and beat up my brother a couple of times." Yan Buyu cried uncontrollably.
While she was desperately trying to see herself as an intruder, her older brother had already accepted her and treated her like family.
Shen Yanzhou's eyes welled up with tears as he gently comforted her, "Okay, I'll go back and beat up your brother."
"Waaaaah, big brother, I deserve to die!!!" Yan Buyu wailed, hugging her even tighter. "I promise I'll treat you well from now on, I'll take care of you, big brother."
"Okay, I'll take care of you, Bu Yu." Shen Yanzhou patted her head. "Don't cry, your voice is hoarse."
Yan Buyu stopped crying and lifted her head from Chen Yanzhou's arms.
His light gray coat was soaked with her tears, making it look rather unsightly.
Her older brother shouldn't be like this.
"Come on, big brother, I'll take you to buy clothes. I'll buy them for you, I have money!" Yan Buyu wiped away her tears, grabbed Shen Yanzhou's arm, and shoved into the shopping mall next door.
Always concerned about her image, she paid no attention to the strange looks from those around her.
Shen Yanzhou smiled, letting his little sister tug at him.
So this is what family love can be like.
"I know your clothes are all haute couture, but it's too late now. Brother, you have some nice clothes here too. Shall I pick out a few for you?"
She asked this question without paying any attention to Chen Yanzhou's answer.
In just a few minutes, she picked out seven or eight outfits that she thought would suit her older brother.
"Brother, try this on." She pointed to a white casual suit.
Shen Yanzhou smiled gently as he gazed at her tenderly.
This is my younger sister.
Half an hour later, Shen Yanzhou updated his WeChat Moments.
The first photo shows a pile of luxury bags laid out on the ground.
In the second photo, he is wearing a white casual outfit, with gentle eyes and a beautiful smile.
The girl next to him had slightly red and swollen eyes. She made a peace sign with one hand, smiled brightly, and stayed close to him.
