Chapter 47 It seems my sister is in a relationship too early.
As soon as Qin Nianke finished speaking, Si Jingxu couldn't sit still any longer.
When friends get together, they always agree on a time and place and then don't need to ask any further questions.
They'll come when the time comes; if they don't, there must be something else going on.
He never called anyone to ask why they hadn't arrived yet.
Shen Yanzhou was quite surprised to receive a call from Si Jingxu in the car.
"Jingxu?" he answered the call with a puzzled look.
"Hmm, not here yet?" Si Jingxu's voice was indifferent.
"About ten minutes," Shen Yanzhou replied. "Any unexpected events?"
“No,” Si Jingxu paused, “was your sister with you?”
"Yes." Shen Yanzhou glanced at Yan Buyu beside him and finally asked, "Is there something you need?"
"Cough, it's nothing, be careful."
After saying that, Si Jingxu hung up the phone first.
"Big brother, you and Brother Jingxu have a very good relationship," Yan Buyu asked.
Shen Yanzhou chuckled lightly, "It's alright. In this circle, interests come first, then relationships. But it's rare that Jingxu and I have had a friendship since our school days. All in all, it's not bad."
He nodded silently.
Small circles talk about small interests, while large circles talk about big interests.
She understands.
At this moment, she was incredibly grateful for her rebirth, not only gaining so many sincere family members, but also having the small privilege of getting a glimpse into the larger social circle.
She wants to become rich too.
Si Jingxu felt relieved after hanging up the phone, but his brows quickly furrowed again.
I was texting Yan Buyu this morning and things were going well, so why isn't she replying now?
Did he say something wrong that made her angry?
He took out his phone and read through their few chat logs over and over again.
That's strange, it's perfectly normal.
He kept calling Jingxu "brother".
Qin Nianke felt extremely uncomfortable sitting on pins and needles, while her cousin seemed to have taken the wrong medicine.
A person who is usually indifferent and expressionless is now frowning and looking at their phone one moment, and staring at the ceiling and sighing the next.
Help!
What an incredible, once-in-a-millennium spectacle she encountered!
Will her cousin kill her to cover it up?!
As she was texting her parents with a long face, saying she wanted to go home, the housekeeper came over and said that Mr. Shen had arrived.
In an instant! In a flash!
Qin Nianke realized it was dawn.
Si Jingxu slowly got up, casually straightened his clothes, and strolled out to greet them.
Qin Nianke also got up and followed behind.
“Jingxu, I’m sorry, there was a bit of traffic on the way,” Shen Yanzhou said with a smile. “This is a whisky I bought at an auction in France. I brought it here for you to try.”
He glanced at Yan Buyu, who immediately stepped forward obediently with the wine in his hand, saying, "Brother Jingxu."
Si Jingxu's gaze remained fixed on Yan Buyu from beginning to end.
He seemed perfectly normal, not unhappy at all, and the smile he gave when he greeted people didn't seem forced.
There must be something else going on if they don't reply to messages.
“Hmm,” Si Jingxu took the wine box from her hand with one hand, glanced at it, and said it was a Macallan Brilliant 60th Anniversary Limited Edition. “It’s so heavy, don’t let your sister carry it.”
Yan Buyu felt a little guilty. Shen Yanzhou had been carrying the things from when she got out of the car until she reached the door, and she only gave them to her when she came in.
"Don't answer!" Qin Nianke came over and took her arm, complaining with dissatisfaction, "Why don't you answer the phone or reply to WeChat messages?"
"Huh?" Yan Buyu took out his phone. "It didn't ring."
Then she saw her phone and suddenly remembered, "Oh, I put it on silent during class this afternoon and forgot to put it back on."
Si Jingxu's steps became lighter.
Well, she wasn't angry, and she didn't say anything wrong; she just muted her phone.
What a good kid, he even muted his microphone during class.
How can she be so well-behaved?
Yan Buyu walked into the living room and glanced around. He asked in a low voice, "Are we the only ones here? Aren't Brother Long Yu and the others coming?"
"What? Missing him?" Si Jingxu's lazy voice squeezed in.
"No, no," Yan Buyu met his gaze, blushed slightly, and stammered, "I was just asking."
“They’re not coming, so it’s just the two of us today.” Si Jingxu saw that her face was rosy and he was in a very good mood. “I have something to talk to your brother about, Qin Nianke can keep you company.”
Qin Nianke's face remained expressionless, but her mind was twisted with rage.
Who does she think she is?
Without saying a word, he gave Si Jingxu a grateful smile.
Isn't he a perfectly good person? How come Qin Nianke scolded him like he wasn't even human?
Si Jingxu raised an eyebrow. "Qin Nianke, you take her out to play."
Qin Nianke: ? ? ?
What to play?
Is she familiar with this place?
Her activities here have always been limited to the living room and garden; she has never even gone upstairs.
"Come on, let's chat." Qin Nianke pulled Yan Buyu to sit down on the sofa a little distance away from Si Jingxu and Shen Yanzhou.
Anyway, wherever the two of them go, there's always gossip.
Yan Buyu glanced at Chen Yanzhou, who gave her a comforting smile.
She felt relieved; what her elder brother and Si Jing were talking about wasn't a secret, and there was nothing she couldn't overhear.
"Lu Yun sent you a message again? Why aren't you replying?" Qin Nianke noticed the red dot next to Lu Yun's profile picture on Yan Buyu's phone and became curious.
“I don’t know what to say,” Yan Buyu opened the message and showed it to her. “We’re not close, so I have nothing to say to him.”
Qin Nianke picked up her phone and said, "I'll help you. How can you get to know him if you don't chat? I think he's pretty good-looking, reliable, and a sports student. Let's just chat for fun."
"No!" Yan Buyu snatched the phone back. "I don't want to talk. I don't have the energy to date right now."
"You can't go through college without ever having a relationship," Qin Nianke reached for her phone. "You didn't even have a boyfriend in college, you're really missing out. Campus romance is wonderful."
"Yanzhou, it seems our sister is in a relationship." Si Jingxu's eyes turned cold, and his voice was flat and without any inflection.
But for some reason, people could sense his low spirits.
Shen Yanzhou hadn't been paying attention to what the two girls were saying, but after Si Jingxu interrupted him, he turned his head to look at Yan Buyu.
Yan Buyu blushed and immediately explained to him, "No, brother, it was just a message from a regular classmate. I'm not... in a relationship."
Shen Yanzhou nodded. His sister was so wonderful; no boy could be worthy of her.
He didn't want to lecture her in front of others; he'd rather talk about it at home. "It's just kids playing around," he told Si Jingxu.
Qin Nianke and Yan Buyu exchanged a glance, and the two obediently shut their mouths.
I forgot there are two brothers here.
Before dinner was served, Qin Nian was called away by a phone call from home.
Yan Buyu sat alone on one side, struggling to breathe.
However, Si Jingxu was giving Shen Yanzhou face after all, and after a few words, he brought her into the conversation as well.
"How much did your sister buy in stocks?"
Yan Buyu knew they were all very wealthy, and what she had spent was just the cost of a meal in their eyes, so she was a little embarrassed to tell them the amount, saying, "It's just a little pocket money."
Shen Yanzhou's phone rang; it was Shen Zhiye.
"Jingxu, it's my dad on the phone. I'll take it. You stay with my sister for a while."
Si Jingxu raised an eyebrow and nodded.
