"If you satisfy my curiosity, I’ll pretend I never heard it. I won’t bring it up again."
"What do you want to ask?"
Even in the car, and with only the two of them, Xu Siyi still lowered her voice and asked mysteriously, "Have you ever had any unspoken rules with Pei Yunxi?"
Just as expected.
Jiang Chen wasn’t surprised at all, knowing nothing good would co from what she asked.
"No."
He responded straightforwardly and decisively, calm and confident.
What he had with Pei Yunxi wasn’t unspoken rules, but clear rules.
Xu Siyi clearly didn’t believe him, "I swear, I won’t tell anyone, or else I’d be struck by lightning."
"You are insulting ."
"..."
Xu Siyi replied, "You’re insulting too, insulting my intelligence. That’s Pei Yunxi, even won would be tempted to see her."
"Won might be tempted, but I’m not a woman."
"You’re avoiding the issue."
"I don’t see what slandering does good for you."
Xu Siyi couldn’t help but laugh, "You just pretend. You might deceive others, but you can’t deceive yourself. Desire to possess is a man’s nature, the more outstanding, the stronger the desire. Which successful man isn’t unfaithful?"
"That’s too generalized. You can’t negate all n under the sky just because you’ve t such people."
This was not just picking the sensitive topic.
It’s like rubbing salt in the wound!
Or, it’s a kind of shock therapy.
Xu Siyi gritted her teeth, her foot on the gas pedal, "Do you believe I’ll bring you down with ."
"This is Shu Rui’s car."
Ahhhh—
Xu Siyi was about to lose it, she took a deep breath, "Be careful, I might change my mind. I can be shaless. With my relationship with Shu Rui, if I plead with her, she’ll definitely soften."
"I don’t believe you, try it."
The Pallala suddenly accelerated, almost rear-ending the dostic new power car in front.
"Not there yet? Wasn’t that a shopping mall just now?"
"I’m heading to the hospital."
"Why are you going to the hospital?"
"My breasts hurt."
————
Compared to yesterday, today’s al is much more lively; after work, Luo Peng and Bai Zheli co running over to join Li Shuru for dinner.
"Yo, Xu Junior has changed style? Going along the virtuous wife and good mother route?"
Seeing Xu Siyi cooking alone, Luo Peng imdiately teased, as if he’s still the playboy from East University.
He definitely knows Xu Siyi well.
"Where is the virtuous wife and good mother? I’m just a servant now."
Xu Siyi greeted them briefly, then returned to the kitchen to continue working.
"Ah, how girls change over ti."
Luo Peng shook his head.
"Why didn’t Brother Shao co?"
Jiang Chen didn’t go to help, comfortably watching Xu Siyi bustling around.
He’s not really treating himself like the master.
He paid for the groceries.
He pays, they work.
Fair and just.
"Li Shao went ho."
"Went ho?"
Jiang Chen looked at Bai Zheli.
"Yes, auntie’s a little unwell, so Brother Shao went back to check on her." Luo Peng explained.
"Is she okay?"
Jiang Chen showed concern.
The dorm leader Li Shao doesn’t talk much but has always been like an older brother to them.
"She’s fine. Just so lumbar muscle strain, farrs usually have this kind of problem. It cos from hard work."
"Are his parents still farming?"
Li Shuru poured tea for Luo Peng and Bai Zheli, although they aren’t outsiders, basic hospitality should still be observed.
"Yes."
Luo Peng nodded.
"Shouldn’t they be enjoying life now."
"You’ve surely never been to the countryside. Brother Shao’s parents had him in their old age; their generation is the most resilient in Shen Zhou. They’ve spent most of their lives dealing with the land, farming isn’t just a ans of survival but a habit. Even if Brother Shao is successful now, that’s hard to change. It’s like many factory owners’ parents who enjoy picking up scraps in the factory."
Li Shuru nodded, "You chat, I’ll go help Si Yi."
"Brother Shao doesn’t like to trouble people. Keep an eye on him, if there’s really sothing..."
Jiang Chen started.
"Don’t worry. I wanted to go back with him at the ti, but he didn’t let . Ah, Brother Shao’s kind of character, we’re bros, his parents are like our parents."
Turning the living room into Tianci Capital’s conference room, Luo Peng said: "Like Brother Shao’s parents, it’s beco a habit, but there are billions of farrs who have to endure hardships. Not farming ans no inco, no food, but struggling all year round only leads to subsistence."
He looked at Jiang Chen, "We’ve discussed, whether we should focus on aiding farrs next. After thousands of tis of harvesting wheat, is it ti to let farrs stand tall?"
Why is Luo Peng, a playboy, still able to bond with the "Four Swordn" of the dorm?
Because Jiang Chen and others are clear about Luo Peng’s character.
A carefree heir can empathize with the farrs, truly an oddball.
"It’s fine whatever you decide."
"Then you’ll have to trouble yourself to say a word to Speed, utilizing Speed’s logistics system will double the results with half the effort."
"So you guys aren’t asking for my opinion, just using as a tool, right?"
"How can you say that."
Luo Peng seriously said: "You’re the founder of Tianci; if we can truly help farrs, even slightly improve their situation, Jiang Chen comrade, you’ll be doing a great deed!"
Bai Zheli couldn’t help but chuckle.
Everything has changed.
Even Luo Li’er has started working.
But sohow, nothing seems to have changed.
"Ready for dinner."
Li Shuru called out.
"Little Bai, co, eat."
Luo Peng headed to the dining room, "We’re lucky today to taste Junior Xu’s cooking; back in school, wouldn’t dare to even think about it."
"Mr. Luo is being sarcastic again, right?"
Xu Siyi placed the last plate of cumin ribs on the table, removing her apron, "Back in school, it was youthful ignorance. Only after stepping into society did I realize we won still have a lot to learn."
"Tsk. No wonder you’re such a high-minded beauty from East University."
"Why didn’t you bring your girlfriend back?"
"She has a job, not in East Sea."
They took their seats one after another.
Luo Peng suddenly seed to rember sothing, his gaze shifted, "Jiang Chen, you have to stand up for ."
"Stand up for what?"
Boss Jiang was helping pass the chopsticks.
"That kid Chuchen is so cocky now, threatened when he ca back not long ago, said if I bully his sister, he’ll have taken to Myanmar to have my kidney cut out. Do you think you need to stand up for ?"
"Xia Chuchen ca back?"
"Yeah, just last month, even specially invited everyone for a al, Shu Rui and Little Bai were all there."
The edge of a sword cos from sharpening.
That kid is a typical example.
Betrayed by a friend, abducted across borders, kidnapped, had a finger cut off, forced into drug addiction... an ordinary person faced with such would probably collapse.
"That’s your family matter, what does it have to do with ?"
"How can it not have anything to do with you? Without you, would he be so arrogant? That kid, now there are hundreds of guns under his command, dares to shout at , simply lawless."
"Brother Luo, you’re exaggerating. He clearly respects you." Bai Zheli objectively said.
"Yes, he’s quite polite to too."
Li Shuru added.
"Of course he’s polite to you. Jiang Chen is their commander-in-chief, if Jiang Chen is around, believe it or not, he’ll be more respectful, might even salute."
"Mr. Luo, what are you talking about? Aren’t you guys running a business? How co there are guns involved?"
Xu Siyi whispered, while sneakily glancing at Jiang Chen.
"I’m running a business, he’s not."
Really isn’t treating them as outsiders.
Indeed.
Everyone at the table doesn’t seem to be outsiders.
Jiang Chen naturally noticed Xu Siyi’s gaze, composed, "Even though we have a good relationship, if you slander , I will still sue you for defamation."
"Go ahead and sue, do you know how strong our Tianci’s legal team is?"
"Who do you think Fang Qing will help, you or ?"
The nonchalant remark from Boss Jiang imdiately left the smug Master Luo speechless.
"I think she would probably help Brother Jiang Chen."
Bai Zheli said fairly.
"Let’s eat, why are you guys still acting like kids."
Looking at Shu Rui, then at the several n, Xu Siyi suddenly felt, even though she sat so close today, why does it seem like she’s more distant from them.
