She dressed casually, prioritizing comfort, and compared to Jiang Yao's exquisite attire, she appeared somewhat sloppy.
Jiang Yao sat down. "Why did you come dressed like this?"
Teahouses are places for business discussions, and people who gather there usually dress very formally.
Looking at Xiang Nanzhi, dressed in sportswear with her hair casually loose, she seemed a bit out of place.
Jiang Yao felt a strange urge to laugh at her appearance. Xiang Nanzhi glanced at her and said, "You're not going to entertain me dressed like this?"
"How could I dare, Miss Xiang? Who in the entire ancient city would dare say they wouldn't entertain you?"
Jiang Yao gestured for the people around her to close the door. Xiang Nanzhi noticed that she was preoccupied and kept staring at her.
"You have something to say to me?"
When she was with Jiang Yao, they basically didn't do anything serious; they just gathered together and talked about random things. When Jiang Yao suddenly acted like that, she sensed something was wrong.
"I do have something to tell you."
Jiang Yao lowered her head and confessed, "I've been in contact with Ciyuan for the past two years. You'll find out sooner or later, so I might as well just tell you directly."
Xiang Nanzhi actually knew; she had smelled a perfume on Jiang Yao that smelled the same as her second brother's, but she didn't say anything at the time and went directly to ask her second brother.
Xiang Ciyuan didn't hide anything from her, and said directly, "My relationship with her isn't what you're imagining."
Will you marry her?
What kind of dream did you have?
Xiang Ciyuan was very direct, "What makes her worthy of me?"
Xiang Nanzhi's expression immediately changed drastically. "Second brother, Jiang Yao is my friend. Don't play with her feelings. She's already pitiful enough."
"I won't play with her feelings, don't worry, there's nothing between us."
Xiang Nanzhi didn't know whether to believe Xiang Ciyuan, a womanizer, who could say such things, but she knew Jiang Yao. If Xiang Ciyuan had really done those messy things...
Jiang Yao definitely wouldn't refuse to ask her for help...
But she never said anything, which means that Xiang Ciyuan didn't do anything to her.
Xiang Ciyuan took a deep breath. "I just felt sorry for her and wanted to help her out. How much money can a teahouse make? I'll help her out."
"There are so many people, why don't you go and help others?"
"I have done nothing wrong to anyone."
I feel sorry for Jiang Yao the only one.
Later, Xiang Nanzhi stopped caring. No matter how bad her second brother was, he had never lied to her, his younger sister, from childhood to adulthood.
Xiang Nanzhi nodded. "Has my second brother ever bullied you?"
Jiang Yao shook her head, somewhat surprised by her reaction.
Shouldn't she be shocked? Why is she so calm?
No, not at all.
"So, you're considered to be in a normal relationship? Are you willing?"
Jiang Yao was initially reluctant, but as time went on, she realized that Xiang Ciyuan had treated her very well, having lacked love since childhood.
"I was afraid you'd be angry, afraid you'd be unhappy, so I'm coming to you to be honest."
"As long as you're willing, and my second brother didn't force you, that's fine. You know what kind of person he is. If he did anything really outrageous, you can tell me."
Jiang Yao nodded. "You...you know?"
"My second brother told me about it."
Jiang Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief, "You made me so nervous for so long."
She was terrified, constantly wondering if Xiang Nanzhi would find out and think that she had reconciled with her just to seduce Xiang Ciyuan.
She would rather have nothing than lose this friend.
Xiang Nanzhi glanced at the time, picked up her teacup, and said, "I also made an appointment with Shen Shixun to take the kids out to play. I'll be going now."
"Nan Zhi."
"Yes, is there anything else?"
Have you been in contact with Zhai Ying recently?
Zhai Ying? Xiang Nanzhi looked at her. "Sister Zhai Ying, what happened to her?"
"No, it's nothing."
Jiang Yao wanted to speak but dared not, feeling that knowing too much about her affairs would be bad and would get her into big trouble.
Xiang Nanzhi didn't think much of it and got up to go outside.
Once outside and in the car, just as she was about to leave, Jiang Yao ran down from the teahouse, her face filled with panic, "Nan Zhi, wait..."
She only opened the car window a crack, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to hear the sounds outside. When she saw her coming, she ran over in high heels and rolled down the window.
Taking off her sunglasses, she was a little scared. "Could you have run like that?"
"It's okay, I've been taking good care of it lately."
Jiang Yao knocked on the passenger door and Xiang Nanzhi let her in.
Jiang Yao's heart was pounding. After thinking it over, she decided that she should tell Xiang Nanzhi.
“A few days ago, I heard some bad news. I wanted to stay out of it, since I didn’t want it to concern me, but I couldn’t help it. I felt I had to tell you.”
"What?"
“Song Ze, he intends to take over the Zhai family’s businesses. I don’t know if Zhai Ying knows this, but if you can tell Zhai Ying so she can take precautions in advance, it might be much better.”
Jiang Yao frowned slightly and sighed, "You should know very well what kind of person he is. You, Xiang Yunduan, me, no one has not suffered at his hands. Now it's Zhai Ying. His purpose in marrying Zhai Ying was not pure to begin with."
Jiang Yao took a deep breath. "Shen Shixun and Zhang Yandong have a pretty good relationship, don't they? Zhang Yandong and Zhai Ying were a well-known couple back then. If it weren't for Zhai Ming's murder, they probably would have gotten married long ago."
“Zhang Yandong hasn’t remarried all these years, and Zhai Ying hasn’t made any moves either. I found it strange that she suddenly announced her marriage to Song Ze.”
Xiang Nanzhi's eyes widened in surprise. "What did you hear?"
