After hanging up the phone, the car arrived home safely. Xiang Nanzhi took Song Ze's umbrella and coat from the car and took the elevator upstairs.
After arriving at the room and taking a hot shower, Xiang Nanzhi hung up Song Ze's coat to dry.
The things still had to be returned to him, and Xiang Nanzhi fell asleep shortly afterward.
It's raining in Latour too. Shen Shixun bought a flight to the old city for tonight, but he didn't catch the right time. If the torrential rain in Latour doesn't stop tomorrow, he probably won't be able to get back.
The next morning, news broke that people had drowned in the old town the previous night; the heavy rain had caused flooding, and some migrant workers living in basements had drowned.
Xiang Nanzhi suddenly remembered that Yang He's family also lived in the underground parking lot, and Yang Shiqi should have been discharged from the hospital by now. He wondered how she was doing.
"Didn't Ciyuan come back last night?"
“Secondary source…” Xiang Jingyi was about to answer.
Xiang Zhengyi gave him a cold look. "I didn't ask you, Lao Ma..."
The butler was quite embarrassed, glancing at Xiang Jingyi and then at Xiang Zhengyi.
"What, are you my butler or someone else's butler?"
Xiang Nanzhi also wanted to say a few words in support of Xiang Ciyuan, but he was afraid of adding fuel to the fire.
"He was well-behaved for a while when he was working with Zhang Yandong, but now he's started again."
"I've reviewed everything regarding the project; nothing has been missed."
"A man can't just know how to do projects; he also needs to know how to be a person."
Xiang Zhengyi put down his chopsticks. "This isn't the first time. What if you keep messing around outside instead of coming home and get into trouble again?"
Xiang Nanzhi glanced at Xiang Jingyi, and Xiang Jingyi happened to glance at her as well.
Yu Daxiang was worried about letting Xiang Nanzhi go out alone, so he asked Xiang Jingyi to take her.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Xiang Nan asked Xiang Jingyi, "What exactly has Second Brother been busy with lately? What did Dad mean by what he said this morning? What does 'getting into trouble' mean?"
In the past, she wouldn't have had the time to nitpick over these words, but now that she knows so much, she naturally starts to think about certain things.
"Don't ask if you don't understand."
"You should ask questions if you don't understand."
Xiang Jingyi didn't speak. Xiang Nanzhi took out a small makeup mirror and looked at her makeup. "I know even if you don't say it. It's just about Second Brother and Jiang Yao. Dad is probably worried that Second Brother is out partying and getting tricked by someone. What will happen then..."
“Zhizhi…”
Xiang Jing frowned, and Xiang Nanzhi closed the mirror. "You're all trying to hide things from me. Tell me, what else are you hiding from me?"
Xiang Jingyi remained silent. If he didn't speak, he would use passive-aggressive tactics, and few people could stand up to him.
Xiang Nanzhi couldn't help but ask curiously, "Have you ever argued with Sister Su Lan? Does she know when you ignore people?"
"I don't argue with people."
As Xiang Nanzhi watched the pedestrians passing by with umbrellas outside the window, she was startled. Oh no, she had forgotten something.
"How long will it take to drive back?"
"What's wrong? Did you leave something behind?"
"Forget it, let's go. It's not that important."
Upon arriving at the entrance of the antique market, Xiang Nanzhi glanced at Xiang Jingyi before getting out of the car and asked, "Do you all know already?"
"What do you think? Running around here every day, if you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place."
"I didn't do anything wrong."
No wonder she's been leaving early and returning late every day these past few days, and her father hasn't even asked her about it.
"We knew about you from day one."
Xiang Nanzhi smiled, closed the car door and walked inside, then belatedly turned back to look at him, "Big Brother..."
Xiang Jingyi watched her go in, but hadn't left yet. This was probably a habit; he was used to waiting until his sister was out of sight before driving away.
"how?"
"Someone gave me a flower basket on my first day of business."
"It was my arrangement."
It turned out to be the eldest brother. "Dad said if you send too many, you'll know it's us, so we each sent two."
Back in the shop, Xiang Nanzhi looked at the bouquet of roses. Song Ze had come last night and knew this place.
Only Song Ze would be so particular, sending her imported roses. He knew she was very particular about many things and insisted on imports.
The key point is that she accepted it.
The next day, around noon, Xiang Nanzhi went to Yang He's place. He went to the construction site, leaving Yang's mother alone to splash water outside. The rain stopped, but the water had not receded, and the people living in the basement were flooded.
Shiqi sat outside, wearing a hat and carrying a stool, quietly watching her foster mother pour water out basin after basin. It seemed the disaster was severe.
Not only them, but other residents also poured water outside, and the ground, which had been dried by the wind, was soaked again by the water accumulated in the basement.
Xiang Nanzhi was carrying some things, but she didn't go forward. She felt that she wouldn't be able to help much if she went. She just wanted to come and see, that's all.
He turned and left, then received a call from Xiang Ciyuan after arriving. "What did Dad say to me this morning?"
"He didn't say anything, just that you haven't been home lately, and that you've been fooling around outside again."
"The old man only knows that I'm fooling around; he can't see any of my ambitions when I'm working hard."
Xiang Nanzhi smiled and said, "Second brother, you know that Dad has high expectations for you and eldest brother. He said that a man with the surname Xiang cannot be a bad guy."
After hanging up the phone, Xiang Ciyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
You can say anything, just don't mention anything about country X.
If the old man found out that he legally runs a casino in country X and makes a fortune every day, he'd probably kick him out of the house.
Partnering with Zhang Yandong on projects was also a way to cover up his business interests in country X.
The men of the Xiang family can't be bad, and he's no exception.
Latour's flight wasn't delayed, but it rained when he arrived in the old city. The man came out of the airport, looked at the gray sky above, and drove his car out of the airport parking lot with a black backpack on his back, heading towards the antique market.
