Chapter 240 He was actually quite looking forward to it.
"The old man's here?!" Ah Cheng yelled angrily as he sharpened his knife. "What's he doing here? Trying to steal the young lady from the boss?!"
Chen Mo ignored him.
Isn't that an obvious fact?
Although Mr. Song has retired, he still has his own people.
Looking up something is very simple.
"Brother Yi, I'll take some men to stop him," Chen Mo said.
Song Jingyi's expression was somber. "No need. He can't possibly come alone. I don't want to cause a big commotion in Beijing right now."
If Song Shuchen were pushed too far, he might just kidnap Xiaoyu.
He was not afraid to confront Song Shuchen head-on.
I just didn't want Xiaoyu to know these things under these circumstances.
"Tell Mu Zi that Xiao Yu must not be separated from anyone."
"I understand, Yi-ge." Chen Mo glanced at the sleazy-looking A-Cheng. "Should we bring Ze-Ming back, or transfer Nick here?"
He and Acheng have both appeared in public, so it's no longer appropriate for them to continue secretly protecting the young lady.
That would make it easy for someone to discover.
"Why bother calling them? I can do it. I'm the best at disguising myself!" Ah Cheng put away his knife and volunteered, "Miss likes me."
Song Jingyi glanced at him. "She likes mushrooms the most."
Ah Cheng, shameless as ever, said, "Then I'll wear a white shirt to protect her, so I'll look even more like a mushroom."
“Go,” Song Jingyi said.
"I'm faster and a better shot than any of them, why are you stopping me at home? Huh? Even Miss doesn't dislike me anymore!" A-Cheng, who was yelling, was taken aback. "Huh? Let me go?"
"If even a single strand of her hair were to fall out..."
"I'll just cut my head off and grill it like mushrooms for you, Miss." Ah Cheng happily packed his things. "I'm leaving, I'm leaving."
Song Jingyi ignored him.
Ah Cheng chuckled as he stuffed the knife into his backpack and casually took the cigarettes and lighter that Song Jingyi had left on the table.
As he passed by Chen Mo, he shrugged and said, "Hey, actually, the boss still loves me the most. After all, my abilities are there for all to see. If I pretend, no one will be able to tell."
Chen Mo acted as if he hadn't heard anything and turned to get a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet.
Acheng chuckled and followed behind Chen Mo, "Hey, you blockhead, say something! Are you jealous? Are you upset?"
"I feel uncomfortable talking to idiots." Chen Mo was so annoyed by him that he said this.
"You!" Acheng turned around, wanting to continue cursing, but when he met Song Jingyi's cold gaze, he shrank back and quickly picked up his bag and left.
"Brother Yi, some wine." Chen Mo poured Song Jingyi a glass and sat down next to him.
Song Jingyi reached for the cigarette, only to remember that Acheng had taken it earlier.
Chen Mo quickly took out cigarettes and a lighter from his pocket and handed them over.
"Brother Yi, Old Song knows about Miss's existence, he won't just let this go."
Song Jingyi lit a cigarette and exhaled a puff of white smoke. "You know it all, how could I not know?"
His father was used to being savage and domineering.
Everyone has to do things according to his ideas.
He could forcibly take his ex-wife back then, and now he's capable of forcibly taking his own daughter.
His robber logic is that as long as the other party is by his side, it doesn't matter whether they want it or not.
“Then, Miss…” Chen Mo expressed his concern.
Song Jingyi scoffed, "Back then, he forcibly took my mother away. I was still young, so he didn't care. But now, if he wants to touch Xiaoyu, he'll have to think twice about whether he can beat me."
If we're talking about a bandit's nature, I inherited it from him.
In some ways, he was more ruthless and domineering than Song Shuchen.
He's acting this way now simply because he's afraid Xiaoyu will find out that her own brother is such a ruthless character.
Worried that she might be afraid of him, Shen Yunqi said she was timid, and he remembered that.
However, if Song Shuchen is determined to cause trouble, he doesn't mind making things even bigger.
The phone rang. I looked down and smiled.
My sister said she'd treat him to a meal another day.
He was actually looking forward to it.
She replied to the message without saying a word, then quickly washed up and went downstairs to have dinner with her family.
After the mushroom poisoning, she didn't vomit or have diarrhea, but she still experienced significant energy depletion. The bowl of porridge she drank in the morning didn't help at all.
I'm starving by now.
Luckily, her mother said she would make dumplings for her.
Shen Zhiye noticed Si Jingxu's kindness towards Yan Buyu.
Everyone in the circle knows what kind of temperament the young master of the Si family has.
He can stay by his daughter's side like this, his eyes are full of her, and he feels so sorry for her when he sees her in pain. You can't fake that.
And he didn't need to pretend.
"Jingxu, you worked hard last night." Shen Zhiye poured him a cup of tea.
Si Jingxu reached out and adjusted his teacup. "Uncle Chen, what are you saying? She's my girlfriend. How can you say it's hard work? I really enjoy taking care of her."
He was telling the truth.
Unfortunately, there are too many brothers-in-law, so they all have to take turns.
"Have some tea," Shen Zhiye gestured, "Your father invited me to play ball the day after tomorrow."
“My mom also said she wanted to go shopping with Aunt Lan,” Si Jingxu said, taking a sip of his tea. “Your tea is quite good.”
"Brother!" Yan Buyu came downstairs cheerfully. "Mom ordered a black business suit for me. It'll be delivered soon. I'll wear it to go with you tomorrow!"
Before Shen Yunqi could speak, Shen Zhiye asked, "Where are you going tomorrow? Why are you wearing a business suit?"
"Uncle, my brother is signing a contract tomorrow, and I want to pretend to be his employee and go with him." Yan Buyu sat down next to Shen Yunqi excitedly. "I've already asked for leave."
Shen Zhiye held his teacup, his brows furrowed. "Does signing a contract require my sister to accompany me?"
Shen Yunqi was unhappy to see Shen Zhiye like that, so he snorted and didn't say anything.
Without hesitation, he immediately explained, "It's not about accompanying you, Uncle. I just wanted to see it. This is my brother's first time signing a contract!"
What a highlight moment!!!
Shen Zhiye didn't take it seriously, "You have the nerve to show off to your sister like that."
Shen Yunqi stood up. "Yan Buyu, come with me to feed the fish."
"oh."
Si Jingxu accompanied his future father-in-law for three cups of tea, but didn't get a chance to say a word to his girlfriend.
The brother and sister went outside, and Shen Yanzhou said to Shen Zhiye, "Dad, Yunqi has been behaving very well lately, and he really wants your approval. You shouldn't always discourage him."
"Did I criticize him?" Shen Zhiye was taken aback.
Thinking back carefully, it seems, perhaps, possibly... that there is a bit of a connection?
But that was not his intention.
“I’m just afraid that if I praise him too much, he’ll get arrogant. You know what kind of person he used to be.”
“As you said, that was in the past. He’s doing very well now, focusing entirely on his work and never going out to fool around. You can praise him occasionally; he’ll be very happy,” Shen Yanzhou said.
He had witnessed his younger brother's efforts and growth.
He could clearly see his father's distrust and awkwardness.
Those involved are often blinded by their own perspective.
The father and son trapped inside couldn't see clearly.
But he understands.
Si Jingxu didn't react much; he was just glad that he didn't have to drink tea anymore.
Thinking of this, he glanced at Chen Yanzhou.
He and Uncle Shen truly are father and son.
When it's difficult for the son-in-law, he just drinks tea.
