What does Chapter 156 have to do with her?
The banquet has ended, and only the cleaning staff remain in the venue.
Shen Yunqi took his younger sister into the elevator.
"Brother, Wu Xiaoyang is so arrogant, his backer must be very powerful. He was seriously injured in our hometown, is he really okay?"
Shen Yunqi smiled reassuringly, "Our family has influence too, what are you afraid of? He's just a nephew, but you're the real daughter of the Shen family."
The elevator arrived at its floor, and the doors slowly opened.
"But..." Yan Buyu was still worried, "Won't it affect Uncle? The Commissioner of Police, brother!"
"What's wrong with the Commissioner of Police?" Si Jingxu's nonchalant and languid voice drifted in as the elevator doors opened.
"Brother Jingxu?" Yan Buyu stood there, stunned.
"Hey, girlfriend." Si Jingxu put one hand in his pocket, a smile playing on his lips, and raised his right hand, waving it with a dashing and debonair gesture.
"Let's go out first." Shen Yunqi patted his sister's shoulder and led her out.
Shen Yunqi's coat was still draped over Yan Buyu's shoulders.
Si Jingxu raised an eyebrow and took Yan Buyu's hand. "Cold?"
"Ah, it's a long story." Yan Buyu glanced at him, and the grievances of being insulted by Wu Xiaoyang welled up in her heart.
She clearly didn't think anything of it just now.
Si Jingxu's smiling face instantly turned serious. "Have you been wronged?"
"No," Yan Buyu denied.
"Yunqi?" Si Jingxu knew he wouldn't get the answer from her, so he looked at Shen Yunqi.
"Should you tell me yourself or should I do it for you?" Shen Yunqi didn't intend to hide it. It wasn't a big deal anyway, and besides, his sister needed comforting right now.
Having been in a relationship before, he knew that sometimes, a lover's comfort was more effective.
"I'll tell you myself, brother," Yan Buyu said in a muffled voice.
Shen Yunqi hummed in agreement. "I'm going over there to have a smoke. You two can talk in the car; it's hot outside."
Without asking for permission, Si Jingxu pulled her into his car with one arm.
The driver, sensing the situation, got out of the car, leaving space for the couple.
“Buyu, we’re a couple now, and we’ll become family in the future. There’s nothing you can’t tell Jingxu,” Si Jingxu said first, his voice low, guiding Yan Buyu. “If you keep something to yourself and don’t tell me, you won’t be happy every time you think about it, and I won’t know why you’re unhappy.”
Gradually, the two will develop a rift.
Open communication is essential for better interaction.
The first lesson for couples is to address problems openly and honestly.
“Hmm,” Yan Buyu listened, “I just don’t know where to begin. So many things happened today.”
“Say whatever comes to mind,” Si Jingxu said with a gentle smile, lightly pinching her chin. “You have to trust your boyfriend’s intelligence. Even if what you say doesn’t make sense, I can still piece it together.”
Yan Buyu was amused by him, took a deep breath, and began to tell the story of how Shen Yunqi's clothes got dirty.
Si Jingxu listened quietly, his face showing little reaction, but in his heart, a raging fire was already brewing.
There are people who are incredibly audacious.
He's set his sights on his girlfriend.
"So, the scumbag has been taken away by that tattooed man, right?" Si Jingxu concluded.
“Yes, he also took that waiter away,” Yan Buyu said, feeling much better, his tone much lighter than before. “That waiter was only after money! Don’t you think he’s stupid?”
If he could find either Shen Yanzhou or Shen Yunqi, he would tell them that someone wanted to harm him.
What he can gain is far more than that roll of US dollars.
Si Jingxu lowered his eyes, his voice full of disdain, "Short-sighted, brainless idiot."
"I still feel scared when I think about it now. If the tattooed guy hadn't poured out the juice, I really would have drunk it." Who would have thought that something like this would happen on his own turf?
Si Jingxu was even more afraid.
Just listening to her talk made my palms sweat.
For the first time, he felt fear.
“Brother Jingxu, are you unhappy?” Yan Buyu looked at him cautiously and spoke in a soft voice, “Do you think I’m too trusting and not vigilant enough?”
A pang of heartache flashed in Si Jingxu's eyes. Yan Buyu was just too quick to blame everything on herself.
It's not her fault that she's beautiful.
It's not her fault that she was targeted by a scumbag.
What does all this have to do with her?
"Don't talk nonsense," Si Jingxu pulled her into his arms, placing his hands obediently on her back, wrapping her in his embrace in a protective posture. "You're already very vigilant."
Wu Xiaoyang is a scumbag; this is definitely not the first time he's done this.
The entire process was meticulously planned from beginning to end.
"You have to understand that when you're specifically targeting someone, there's always an opportunity to strike."
It's impossible to have someone by your side your whole life, and it's impossible to never be alone.
There's always a way to specifically adapt to him.
Si Jingxu's words were like a good medicine, comforting the thoughtful Yan Buyu.
Yes, what does all this have to do with her?
She's a victim, isn't she?
One thing leads to another, and it's impossible to guard against everything. She can't have someone by her side forever.
Sometimes, people also rely on luck.
“I was lucky, wasn’t I?” Yan Buyu finally smiled. “That tattooed guy didn’t look like a good person, but I owe him a lot today.”
Song Jingyi, who was enjoying the breeze by the river, suddenly sneezed.
Speaking of the tattooed guy, "Did he just suddenly appear out of nowhere? Your older brother doesn't recognize him?"
“He appeared out of nowhere, the water glass was right in front of his lips, and he reached out and took it away,” Yan Buyu shook his head. “My older brother and I don’t know him, he just popped up out of nowhere.”
“That’s great, our Miss Silent always has good luck,” Si Jingxu rubbed her cheek. “Alright, let’s go home.”
"And what about you? Why did you suddenly come today? Didn't you say you were at home?"
"Miss Silent promised to video call me, but I've been waiting and waiting and haven't received it. She hasn't replied to my messages either. So I'm here to personally beg my girlfriend for her favor," Si Jingxu teased her.
Yan Buyu blinked and said, "Oh no, Brother Jingxu, I still have my phone."
"Okay, I'll take you home first, then I'll go find your older brother later."
Shen Yunqi kept glancing towards the car from outside.
He was conflicted. On the one hand, he told himself that his sister had grown up and it was normal for her to date.
On the other hand, he felt that his younger sister was too young, and even though she was as outstanding as Si Jingxu, he still saw her as a thief stealing flowers.
As the third cigarette was lit, a roar erupted from the side.
"Put out your cigarette!"
Shen Yunqi was startled and immediately threw the cigarette on the ground and stomped it out.
"What's wrong with you! Brother! Look at yourself!" Yan Buyu walked over irritably. "If you keep smoking like this, your lungs will be ruined in a few years!"
Shen Yunqi threw the remaining half-pack of cigarettes and lighter into the trash can, saying politely, "I was wrong, I was wrong."
