He would sometimes even sit in the same office with Xiang Ciyuan and General Manager Zhang, chatting away as if he belonged entirely to their level...
But Yang He was different. When he saw Xiang Ciyuan and Zhang Yandong, he would unconsciously lower his head and speak in a much lower volume than usual. He would even unconsciously look at their expressions while speaking.
Yang He frowned, feeling a mix of emotions. He got up and went for another walk around the project, paying attention to every detail, before silently lighting a cigarette.
When Xiang Nanzhi and Shen Shixun arrived, they did not see Yang He. Originally, the two had bought pastries in the neighborhood and were going to go straight back to the antique market, but Xiang Nanzhi had to come back to return something to Xiang Ciyuan, so they turned around and came here first.
When they arrived, there was a car parked outside. Compared to Shen Shixun's car, that car was too flashy. It was bright red and obviously driven by a woman.
Xiang Nanzhi joked, "The car owner looks as flamboyant as Xiang Yunduan."
"But Xiang Yunduan can no longer flaunt his abilities."
Shen Shixun: ...
He was completely clueless about and couldn't understand the little things women did to each other.
Xiang Nanzhi took the man's hand and headed towards Xiang Ciyuan's office. Cao Mingyuan, dressed in a black suit, stood at the door next to Xiang Ciyuan, looking like a telephone pole.
Upon seeing Xiang Nanzhi, Cao Mingyuan was taken aback. "Miss!"
His shout was deliberate; he unconsciously increased the volume.
Xiang Nanzhi was completely stunned by his sudden shout, "Where's Second Brother? Is he inside?"
Cao Mingyuan didn't speak, but stammered and glanced inside.
Xiang Nanzhi opened the door and walked in, only to see Xiang Ciyuan already standing up, flustered and clumsy, with a pair of women's legs on the sofa.
"Zhizhi, what brings you here?"
She didn't come to the project site often when Shen Shixun was around, and she probably wouldn't come even more now that he's gone. This sudden attack was something Xiang Ciyuan never expected.
Jiang Yuxin was afraid that others wouldn't know about her and Xiang Ciyuan's relationship. She slowly stood up and was a little surprised when she saw Xiang Nanzhi, but she still greeted her with a smile, "Sister Nanzhi."
Xiang Nanzhi froze on the spot. At first, he was a little curious about who his second brother could bring here, but when he saw Jiang Yuxin, he couldn't laugh anymore.
She calmly threw the card out of her bag and onto the table. "Don't put any more money into my card. I can't spend it all. My dad gave me a lot of money, and my older brother gave me some too. Since you're short on money, don't give me any more. Keep it for yourself."
Shen Shixun stood at the door without going in. He had even tried to pull Xiang Nanzhi back, but he slipped.
He could still see Xiang Ciyuan glaring at him, as if he wanted to devour him, so Shen Shixun had to look away and avoid his gaze.
If your own sister caught you doing something like that, any man would want to crawl into a hole and disappear...
"Zhizhi, give your brother a call next time you come over."
Xiang Nanzhi didn't say a word, his gaze falling on Jiang Yuxin, who was wearing a floral dress and a cardigan over it, deliberately pulling the cardigan over her shoulders.
Xiang Ciyuan glanced at her, wishing he could find a hole to crawl into.
She didn't even look at Ciyuan, turned around and left, and Ciyuan hurriedly chased after her.
"Secondary source..."
Xiang Ciyuan flung Jiang Yuxin's hand away.
He hadn't done anything yet. "Zhizhi, let me explain... it's not what you see."
For the first time, Xiang Nanzhi felt heartbroken. Let Xiang Ciyuan spend the money; what could his own brother say?
But he spent money so recklessly, he even slept with Jiang Yuxin...
Xiang Ciyuan followed along the whole way, while Xiang Nanzhi kept a straight face the entire time.
Shen Shixun didn't want to get too close, so he followed behind, keeping a distance that wasn't too far...
Once outside the project site, where there was no one else around, Xiang Nanzhi stopped in his tracks. "Second Brother, are you still the Second Brother I know? What happened to you?!"
"It's one thing that your affair with Jiang Yao was such a scumbag, but I believed you were young and naive back then. But how old are you now? Don't you know what kind of person Jiang Yuxin is?"
“She contacted me. On the phone, she… she… knew that I was just playing around with her.”
Xiang Nanzhi withdrew his gaze, "Even after all that, you still say it's just playing around? Second brother, you can't even lie properly."
After saying that, Xiang Nanzhi got into the car. Xiang Ciyuan glanced at Shen Shixun, but Shen Shixun didn't interfere. He got into the car as well and drove away.
A short while later, Jiang Yuxin also came out.
Xiang Ciyuan felt more wronged than Dou E. It was Jiang Yuxin who seduced him. He only wanted to play around with her and didn't intend to take it seriously. But he just happened to run into her.
Even if he's a complete bastard, he'll never go back to a woman with the surname Jiang, unless he's gone mad.
"Secondary source..."
"Jiang Yuxin, you can leave now. Don't come looking for me again."
"Why?"
Jiang Yuxin instinctively reached out to take his arm, but Xiang Ciyuan gently pushed her hand away.
"Secondary source..."
"You know I talked to Jiang Yao before. What do you mean by coming to me? Are you trying to show off in front of her?"
Having been in contact with so many women, he probably knows the little secrets and grudges between them.
No, I like you.
"What do you like about me? Have we ever done anything together? Just tell me you like me."
Jiang Yuxin: ...
“I’m different from my sister; this is my first time.”
Xiang Ciyuan lit a cigarette, not intending to continue talking to her, "Did your sister ever tell you that I don't like virgins?"
On the way back, Xiang Nanzhi spoke very little, and it was clear that she was really angry. Shen Shixun took her to the antique market, and she went into the studio in a sullen mood. She glanced at the orders and started working.
Shen Shixun didn't leave; he stayed with her for a while.
Xiang Nanzhi was busy for a while when she realized he hadn't left yet, and she sighed.
Shen Shixun handed her the water glass, and she took a sip. "My second brother is such a worry. He's such a grown man, yet he still has no sense of propriety."
These words, coming from Xiang Nanzhi's mouth, had a unique flavor.
Shen Shixun never felt that Xiang Ciyuan lacked tact. On the contrary, he felt that everyone in the Xiang family had their own way of dealing with people and things. Xiang Ciyuan was just a little extravagant, but otherwise, he was impeccable.
Needless to say, Xiang Zhengyi and Xiang Jingyi are even more obvious.
Including Xiang Nanzhi, when she is determined to do something, she can do it very well.
Take this antique market, for example. You might say it was just a whim, but it has been profitable from the very beginning until now, with profits far exceeding those of most ordinary families in the ancient city.
Some people are born into privilege and experience things that others never see in their lifetime, so it's really easy for them to do anything.
Xiang Nanzhi stopped the machine halfway through, saying, "Should I tell my older brother? I'm afraid my second brother might do something bad sooner or later if this continues."
"He's your brother, do you think this is necessary?"
"Precisely because he's my brother..."
That's why we can't let him go further and further astray.
