Chapter 20 was definitely coaxed by the younger sister.
As soon as Shen Yunqi finished speaking, a sneer came from behind the two of them.
I was extremely disdainful.
Then came a nonchalant and languid baritone voice, "You're as skinny as a little chick. What are you missing from eating? Last time I carried you, did you weigh 80 pounds?"
The other three were all taken aback.
Shen Yanzhou: "When did you hug her?"
Shen Yunqi: "When did you hug her?"
The two brothers spoke at the same time.
Yan Buyu understood the meaning behind Si Jingxu's actions.
He's just using himself for fun.
These scions of wealthy families, when they get bored, don't care about the lives of others at all.
Without a word, his desire to kill grew even stronger.
Fearing he might say something that would cause further misunderstanding, Yan Buyu spoke up before he could.
"Big brother, didn't I tell you that I had a stitch on the day of the physical test? It was Brother Jingxu who carried me to his car to rest."
Shen Yanzhou nodded. "Come in and eat."
Shen Yunqi frowned, pulling on Yan Buyu's arm to stop her from leaving, "You've got a stitch? Even Boss Shen knew? Why didn't you tell me?"
“Uh…” Yan Buyu stood there blankly, not knowing where to begin.
"She's not a child, why should she tell you everything?" Si Jingxu, who was walking ahead, turned around and said, his gaze falling on Yan Buyu. He slowly said, "She's twenty, she's reached the legal marriage age in the country."
That's a statement that's both true and awkward.
Shen Yunqi, with his fiery temper, no longer cared about Yan Buyu's talk of face or anything like that.
My hair is practically standing on end.
He pulled Yan Buyu behind him and yelled at Si Jingxu, "I'm talking to my sister, what's it to you? Who the hell do you think you are, acting all high and mighty in front of me? She wants to get married? Let me tell you, she can forget about getting married if I don't give my approval!"
Shen Yanzhou's expression darkened slightly, and he called out in a low voice, "Shen Yunqi!"
Si Jingxu was the most arrogant one in their group, and also the one in Beijing that was least likely to be provoked.
No one dared to speak to him like that.
He understands these things without saying a word.
She immediately grabbed Shen Yunqi's hand and pulled him back, peeking out her little head to apologize to Si Jingxu, "I'm sorry, Brother Jingxu, my brother didn't mean it that way. He wasn't targeting you. I upset him today."
Si Jingxu had no good feelings towards Shen Yunqi.
I just saw him jumping around like a rooster and I just thought it was funny, so I didn't think of doing anything to him.
Seeing Yan Buyu's eyes slightly reddened from anxiety, I felt like I had a thorn in my heart.
But since he's her brother, she couldn't be bothered to argue.
“Jingxu, my younger brother is a bit outrageous, but don’t take it to heart. Let’s go inside and have a drink,” Shen Yanzhou said.
Offending Si Jingxu will bring no benefit whatsoever.
Shen Yunqi was unconvinced and wanted to hurl insults at him.
Yan Buyu grabbed his head by the collar and pulled it down, covering his mouth tightly. "Don't talk, brother!"
Si Jingxu glanced indifferently at Shen Yunqi, his voice languid, "Listen to your sister."
Shen Yunqi bared his teeth and made a whimpering sound, but fearing he might hurt Yan Buyu, he didn't dare to make any big moves.
He only let go of him after the two men entered the villa without saying a word.
Shen Yunqi put her hands on her hips and said, "What's wrong with me saying a few words to him? Where did he come from to dare to point fingers at me like that?"
Yan Buyu rubbed his arm. "Brother! He's Si Jingxu!"
"What happened to Si Jingxu?!"
Si Jingxu, that prince in the center circle.
Let alone those two who ask their families for money.
Even those who are old and powerful, when they see him, they all bow and scrape and fawn over him.
"You have to treat Uncle Shen well when you see him. Why would you offend him? It won't do you any good. If he makes things difficult for you when you join the company, you won't be able to do anything."
Shen Yunqi felt aggrieved, but her sister's words left her speechless.
He has indeed been acting somewhat absurdly these past few years; he neither went abroad for further studies after graduating from university nor joined a company.
He indulged in eating, drinking, and having fun, living a life that everyone envied yet despised as a spoiled brat.
He could understand what his sister was saying.
At that time, Si Jingxu won't even need to show his face. He just needs to let out a little hint that there is a conflict between them.
Then he'll be in a lot of trouble.
Shen Yunqi remained silent, looking sullen.
He knew without speaking that Yan Buyu had figured it out.
She immediately smiled and took his arm, "My brother is the best, my brother is the greatest. In three to five years, my brother will have his own business circle, and then he can take me out to live alone, right?"
Shen Yunqi glanced at her, amused, and said, "Yes, I'll buy you a small house with the first pot of gold I earn, okay?"
"That would be great," Yan Buyu said, leading him forward. "When I find a boyfriend in the future, I'll bring him to you first. If you don't agree, I won't agree to date him, okay?"
Shen Yunqi felt much better.
Why did he bother with Si Jingxu just now? Let him say whatever he wants.
My little sister is so sensible.
"Hey bro, do you want to bring your girlfriend to the party tomorrow? I bet she'll like it." Yan Buyu really wanted to meet that girl with the sweet, soft voice; she thought she'd smell really nice.
Shen Yunqi considered it for a moment, "I'll ask her. She's a little shy. If she's too embarrassed to come, then forget it."
Yan Buyu nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, yes, then brother, when you go in at the dinner table later, why don't you say a few kind words to Si Jing?"
"Waiting for me here?" Shen Yunqi glanced at her. "Fine, you're right. Offending him won't do you any good. Saying something conciliatory won't hurt you, will it? So, Yan Buyu."
"That's right, that's right. Learn from me, I can be flexible and adaptable."
Shen Yunqi patted her head and said, "I won't let you suffer any injustices from now on. I'll let you walk around Beijing with your head held high, okay?"
Yan Buyu felt a warmth in her heart, "I'm not a crab."
Inside the restaurant, Shen Yanzhou and Si Jingxu were already drinking.
Yan Buyu followed Shen Yunqi and sat down.
Shen Yunqi picked up a glass of wine, stood up, and said to Si Jingxu, "Young Master Si, I was wrong just now. I have a bad temper and am prone to impulsiveness. Please forgive me."
After saying that, he tilted his head back and finished the wine in his glass.
Shen Yanzhou was a little surprised; he had thought Shen Yunqi was so angry that she couldn't eat.
It must have been her younger sister who coaxed her.
Really...
My little sister is so sensible and well-behaved.
Si Jingxu guessed it too; the reason he hadn't come in for so long must have been because Yan Buyu had instructed him.
He couldn't be bothered with Shen Yunqi, but his round, silent eyes were fixed on him expectantly...
Under the unwavering, eager gaze of the silent observer, Si Jingxu slowly raised his glass in the air in a gesture of respect, and said, "Mm."
That's the end of that.
Only Shen Yanzhou understood that Si Jingxu had already given his family ample face.
"Buyu, try this cod. It was air-freighted directly from the catch," Shen Yanzhou said. "Your brother Jingxu personally delivered it."
Si Jingxu tilted his head slightly and watched as Yan Buyu picked up a piece of fish and put it in his mouth.
She chewed slowly, her pink lips looking incredibly tempting.
Her delicate eyebrows arched slightly, showing her satisfaction. "Mmm, delicious."
"It would be even better with wine, want to try it?" Si Jingxu's expression softened considerably, and he said to her with a smile.
"No! She can't drink alcohol!" Shen Yunqi immediately interrupted.
Si Jingxu's face, which had just calmed down a little, darkened again.
