Jiang Chen called in the guard to buy so porridge, then moved a chair to the bedside.
"Can you move on your own?"
Xia Chuchen smiled again, then struggled to prop himself up on the bed, trying hard to sit up.
Jiang Chen didn’t help, sitting down on the chair by himself.
"Your family has already withdrawn the case."
Xia Chuchen, who was struggling to sit up, was taken aback, then leaned against the bedhead and smiled.
"Thank you."
Though he looked more haggard, his smile was visibly more frequent.
To have been through such a hellish ti and still be able to smile, that’s truly remarkable.
"Do you regret not studying well in school?"
Jiang Chen said calmly.
Xia Chuchen dodged the question, hesitated for a mont, then asked, "You and my sister... what’s your relationship?"
"What do you think?"
Jiang Chen calmly asked in return.
Xia Chuchen said nothing.
"Your sister probably hasn’t had the chance to tell you, she found a boyfriend, and it happens to be my buddy."
"Really?"
"What else did you think it was?"
Xia Chuchen pressed his lips together, "I saw Pei Yunxi."
Right.
It seems I wasn’t wearing a mask then.
As a public figure, it’s really inconvenient.
He didn’t know what his sister was doing outside, but he knew who Pei Yunxi was.
And all signs point to the fact that this young man, who couldn’t be much older than him, had imnse power here.
Birds of a feather flock together.
Why could his sister from the working class connect with such people? He couldn’t help but feel suspicious.
"Your sister is a very outstanding person. So there’s no need for you to work so hard, other people’s brothers dream of living off their sisters, why not give your sister the chance to be a ’sister-devourer’?"
If Mr. Luo were here, he’d probably curse.
No wonder he’s the best bad friend, tirelessly ruining people.
Xia Chuchen hadn’t expected soone influential enough to command top celebrities overseas could be so down-to-earth. After being lost in thought for a mont, he couldn’t help but laugh, "My sister never told anything."
"Well, now you know."
Boss Jiang, without any airs, spoke in a tone like they were equals, "From now on, you can give up the idea of suffering and think about how to squander properly."
Xia Chuchen’s expression gradually grew odd.
"Is it that you and your friend... have a grudge?"
"No."
Jiang Chen kept a straight face, "We’re brothers."
Xia Chuchen went silent.
He wasn’t a gossiper, nor was he ignorant.
Perhaps he was once ignorant.
But this trip overseas had undoubtedly opened the eyes of the recent school graduate.
As a national goddess, Pei Yunxi has always been an anomaly in the entertainnt circle, a symbol of purity, the dream girl of countless n.
Why would such a woman accompany a man and appear in a place like Myanmar...
These questions weren’t his to ask.
"Is your friend good to my sister?"
"It wouldn’t be fair for to answer that, but when you recover, you can ask your sister yourself; she’ll give you the real answer. And rember to tell then."
This should be their second interaction, but the man on the sickbed had already shattered Xia Chuchen’s perceptions.
Where would you find such a big shot?
Even the principal of their vocational school barely acknowledged students when greeted.
This man must be leagues above their principal!
The guard ca in with the porridge.
Jiang Chen took a bowl too.
He hadn’t eaten before coming either.
"...Can I ask what you do?"
Though aware it might be inappropriate, Xia Chuchen couldn’t suppress his curiosity, leaving his porridge untouched on the table, seeming to lack any appetite.
"Ga developnt."
Jiang Chen replied imdiately.
"Ga... developnt?"
"Have you heard of ’Divine Enthronent’?"
Xia Chuchen nodded blankly.
Seems like the promotional work was quite effective.
And at his age, he’s precisely the pri target market for gas.
"’Divine Enthronent’ is a ga project we planned and invested in."
Xia Chuchen’s eyes widened.
Not that he was shocked that the investor of the first dostic 3A ga was in front of him.
But the gap between ga developnt and what he forrly experienced seed too vast!
"Your brother-in-law is an investor too."
Jiang Chen had so porridge, "When the ga is released, rember to have your brother-in-law send you an account."
At this mont, Xia Chuchen found himself in a state of... an awkward mix of laughter and tears.
His mind was more jumbled than when banging against a wall.
"Why did that hairy monster want to kill you?"
He asked involuntarily.
"Maybe ’Divine Enthronent’ was too well-received, and they were jealous, worried we might break their monopoly in the ga market. You know, Westerners aren’t typically open-minded."
Boss Jiang was indeed unique, able to have tea with national elites like Sui Huimin and, at the sa ti, be so approachable with young folk like Xia Chuchen.
"Eat a little bit, there’s a war going on around and food supplies are pretty tight."
Xia Chuchen dazedly picked up the porridge and took a spoonful.
Missing a finger didn’t really affect him.
He knew the other was joking, but he also realized the ’Divine Enthronent’ developnt was most likely true.
Did his sister really find such an impressive boyfriend?
"Don’t bla your sister, she didn’t an to hide it from you, they haven’t been together long."
What more could one ask for in having such a brother?
No wonder Mr. Luo never gave up on soone steadfast on being a simp back then.
Masterful like a Fiery Eyes.
Mr. Luo has nurous projects under his belt now, but Boss Jiang is undoubtedly destined to be his most successful investnt.
So never give up easily on your brothers.
"My sister is not a ’sister-devourer’.
"Xia Chuchen earnestly said, "I won’t trouble my sister. As long as she can lead a happy life."
Jiang Chen quietly drank his porridge.
"Did you catch Mr. H?"
Xia Chuchen asked.
It definitely couldn’t have been due to ’Divine Enthronent,’ whatever the grudge was, it wasn’t important, what mattered was the real deadly enmity.
Attempted assassination planned, though unsuccessful, surely couldn’t be left untreated, even schoolyard fights would demand retaliation.
"Didn’t you say out at sea? Boundless, where to catch him."
Quickly finishing his porridge, Boss Jiang, loving food, wasted not a grain, placing the empty bowl on the nightstand, and casually picking up the remote to turn on the television.
"I can help draw a sketch of him."
"Can you draw?"
"No, but I’ll try my best."
Jiang Chen made no comnt, switching channels with the remote, "It’s tough, watch so TV to take your mind off it."
Seeing him decline, Xia Chuchen no longer insisted, instinctively glancing toward the wall-mounted TV opposite the sickbed.
"Here’s the latest news, Shen Zhou will soon conduct military exercises in the eastern Damman Sea, citizens are advised to avoid entry..."
Though Karuzi isn’t under official jurisdiction, nominally it remains Myanmar territory, and TV channels are shared.
The news over the TV was clearly heard but was inherently unrelated to an ordinary person like Xia Chuchen, it goes in one ear and out the other.
Xia Chuchen was the sa, not paying attention, he picked up the spoon and continued to eat.
Sitting by the bedside, Boss Jiang was no exception, listening for a while, presumably bored, he continued flipping channels with the remote.
"Ah～～ Ah～～～"
The news channel did not retain Boss Jiang, but there was one channel that made him stop his remote control.
Without turning his head, Boss Jiang’s maturing side profile remained unaltered in expression.
"Are you over eighteen?"
The severely anemic Xia Chuchen suddenly blushed.
In most foreign hotels, there are adult channels.
But this is a clinic!
Though, truth be told.
If it’s this kind of program, it definitely could help patients ease their suffering and divert attention.
