Chapter 296 He Is My Brother
Zeng Mina kept looking into Bai Hong’s eyes. It was said that eyes are the windows to the soul. Eyes would reflect one's inner thoughts directly.
However, there was nothing else but anger in her eyes. It seemed that she was really angry this time.
"You are not the outsiders. So, I don't want to hide anything from you. I was engaged to him before because our parents had a good relationship. They thought that the two families could be more intimate. At that time, I was a little disgusted with him for messing around with other women. But my parents said that men were all like this before they got married. And after they got married, they would be faithful to the family. I thought that there were a few men as young as me in our circle. And he was barely suitable, so I agreed with my parents. I deigned to date him. But how should he be unwilling?" Bai Hong was almost gnashing her teeth. There was no one who didn't respect and admire her before she was engaged to Zhang Peng.
She was beautiful and rich, who was educated in a famous European university. And she could be said to be a favorite. But now, she was like a fly in others' eyes.
That playboy nearly ruined her whole life. For Zhang Peng, Bai Hong had only hatred for him.
It was all right for Bai Hong to say this. Jiang Tao didn't believe he couldn't deal with such a spendthrift. Holding the glass, Jiang Tao drank a large glass of wine and filled it with wine again by himself.
Then he shook the bottle and said. "Don't you want some?"
Zeng Mina and Bai Hong also drank the wine in their glasses and put the empty glasses in front of Jiang Tao. Jiang Tao soon filled the glasses with wine for them. Then they clinked their glasses again.
All of them were actually in a bad mood, including Zeng Mina. On the surface, Zeng Mina had a fiancé committed to her, and others all envied her. However, she knew it clearly in her heart that she wasn't close to Shen Mo's heart, in which there was someone else.
The most tragic thing was that her father asked her to help Shen Mo against that person. For the sake of family business, she sacrificed her love. Anyway, she was still a woman who must feel upset in her mind.
They were almost drunk to a faint unconsciously. But for Bai Hong's mother called her and asked her to go home, they would have gone on.
"It seems that aunt really keeps an eye on you. Congratulations, you're a good girl again." Zeng Mina staggered to stand up and followed Bai Hong to go out.
"I envy you. Marrying a wrong man is a crushing blow to a woman, just like a man chooses the wrong occupation. My life has been ruined by the man." Bai Hong's face clouded, lynching Zhang Peng again in her mind.
Jiang Tao said, "It’s not so bad. You have found your direction now. I believe that you will meet a better man than that scumbag at least in the future."
"Thank you for your blessing!" Bai Hong and Zeng Mina supported each other with their hands. They had already reached the door.
Jiang Tao, looking at their backs, also stood up. Now he did not want to go home to see the faces of his parents and grandmother. But everyone went home. He also didn't want to be left alone here.
After they all left, Shen Yan said in another private room not far away, "Let's go back, we have to go to work tomorrow."
"Can you play for a little longer? I don't want to go back so early." Yang Ke'er was happy today and didn't want to go back.
"Ke’er, listen to your Brother Yan's words. Now your brother Zhang Peng also promises to his father that he will try to increase the profit of his company by three percentages at the end of the year. I am so busy that I even have no time to hang myself. Otherwise, I will stay here to accompany you." According to Zhang Peng's heart, naturally he wanted to stay for a while. But when Shen Yan said it was time to go back, he had to reconcile.
So the three people stood up together and went outside. It was also a coincidence that the two groups of people came across at the door.
"Hey, isn't this Yang Ke'er? You are so tolerant. Don't you mind intervening a couple’s date like a light bulb?" Although Zeng Mina was almost drunk at that moment, she was still good at teasing Yang Ke'er.
"Zeng Mina, which one of your eyes saw me as a light bulb? It's you. Oh! You know that my brother Shen Mo doesn't like you, but you keep bothering him. You’re so brazen." Yang Ke'er quickly retorted.
"Whether he loves me or not, I’m still Shen Mo’s wife. Do you envy me?" In this aspect, Zeng Mina had an obvious advantage.
"Hey, I really want to congratulate you. When will the wedding take place? Anyway, Brother Shen Mo is also my cousin. I must send my gift to you." Yang Ke'er looked at Zeng Mina with a sly look.
"You, I don't care about you!" Zeng Mina held Bai Hong on. After a few steps, she said to Bai Hong. "It’s really awkward. I can't believe I meet them here."
Bai Hong sneered and said, "I have already met them. And Yang Ke'er wanted to pull me in to reconcile with Zhang Peng. Her brain is really problematic."
Bai Hong burped. Though she had already made peace with her ex-boyfriend, she would never sit with someone who insulted her.
This was the difference between her and Yang Ke'er.
Jiang Tao followed them, but he did not say anything. Especially when he saw Yang Ke'er and Zhang Peng, his heart was burning with anger as if it was scratched by a cat. He really wanted to grab the wine in the hands of the waiter and then poured it on Zhang Peng again.
But at the end, he withheld his anger. This was his biggest advantage, wasn’t it? In those years, he walked to the position of vice president step by step, relying on this advantage.
Although Jiang An temporarily gained the upper hand, it was a narrow win for him. As long as Jiang Tao worked hard again, he will be sure to succeed.
"Master Jiang, let's call someone to drive for us?" Bai Hong advised. They were all drunk, so they couldn't drive.
"Okay!" Jiang Tao had no opinion, and soon they called a driver.
Yang Ke'er glared at their backs and said, "Birds of a feather flock together. Let's go as well!"
They were not drunk, but Shen Yan was not relieved to let Yang Ke'er go back alone. He said to Zhang Peng. "It is you who call Ke'er out. So you are responsible for sending her home."
I didn’t call her out. Instead, she asked me to come out.
Actually, Zhang Peng didn't want to send her back. If he was close to her, Mrs. Yang would probably inquire him and ask so many questions.
Before Zhang Peng answered, Yang Ke'er said aside, "No, thanks. I drive my car here today."
"Then let Zhang Peng drive a car to follow you." Shen Yan said in an unquestionable tone.
How could he say this word? Zhang Peng was amused and said to Yang Ke'er. "Your Brother Yan is very concerned about you."
"That's true. After all, he is my brother!" Yang Ke'er looked at Shen Yan and said. A stander-by could see clearly. What his mother said was true. Shen Yan just regarded her as his sister.
After entrusting what Zhang Peng should do, Shen Yan drove away with Xia Yu. Zhang Peng and Yang Ke'er went in the opposite direction. But they didn't notice that there were some people looking at them all the time at a window.
"Jiamin, I find that Shen Mo is a sham. I have invested so much money to support him, but all in vain. Shen Yan solved all the problems without much efforts and set up Shen Mo reversely." Li Tianci complained.
His nightclub was destroyed by Shen Yan, and his underlings were punished. The lad was good at nothing but coaxing women. They had targeted at Li Feiran for a long time and wanted to blackmail her to take away all her money and force her to be a prostitute in the nightclub.
She was a beautiful white-collar worker. She must be more attractive than those from the countryside. However, Zhou Jiali asked them to cooperate with Shen Mo's actions. At the end, they lost money as well as the target person.
"Loot what you have done. You can't make an omelette without breaking eggs. Do you want to be a bodyguard captain for a lifetime?" Zhou Jiali glanced at Li Tianci scornfully.
After the launch of Tengfei’s new products, the sales volume increased sharply. But nobody knew whether Luo Jiancheng didn't come on purpose or he really couldn't make so many products on time. So, Shen Yan, Liu Sijie and Xia Yu decided to contact with another manufacturer to produce more goods.
It was not known whether Xia Yu was too nervous. She was busy negotiating with people in daytime, and then continued to make the plan of business after she came back. But she had many nightmares after she finally fell asleep.
After she was awake, she found herself in a sweat. Turning over several times, she finally went through until 5 o'clock in the morning. She couldn't fall asleep anymore, so she got up and decided to make some hot milk for herself. She used to use that vintage porcelain bowl decorated with beautiful petals, which was brought back from an old town to hold the rice. This bowl was also equipped a plastic lid for sealing. The bowl was medium in size and round in shape. There was no impurity in the inner tube, which was much better than that she bought in the two-yuan store. What was more, there were very beautiful peach blossom patterns on the bowl, which looked very posh.
Suddenly she found that there was a cake on the table which was brought back last night. Shen Yan bought for her because she didn’t eat much for dinner. So he put it in his car in case she was hungry.
After lunch, she went to the company and began to concentrate on making plans. Until three o'clock in the afternoon, she was so hungry that she stopped working. She had wanted to make a meal for herself. But a stomachache suddenly took place. She had no strength to cook, and just ate some instant noodles instead.
When she just began to eat noodles, Shen Yan asked her to see the new production line with him. Throwing the noodles directly, she took her bag and set out. She stayed at the factory for more than one hour. When she went out, it was at sunset.
Although the sunset in autumn looked beautiful, it was almost evening after all. They had to go back quickly. People on the road were also in a hurry for they all wanted to go home early to rest.
Xia Yu sat in the car and chatted with Jiangjiang on the phone. Xie Gendi went to the county hospital to take the medicine with him. When he waited for his grandmother, he borrowed a phone from the nurse aunt to call Xia Yu.
"Auntie, I miss you and Dad. When will you come to see me? It’s not funny all over here. There is no game, no coffee, and no phone." The moment Jiangjinag began speaking, he became tearful. He couldn’t get along well with the children of his neighbors.
The children liked to climb on the ground or climb the tree to catch some birds. But the teachers in the kindergarten, his mother and aunt told him that children should care about cleanness and care for small animals.
When he said this to the children, they laughed at him and said that he was like a girl.
He didn't like the children in the countryside. He still wanted to be with the children in the kindergarten. Although they fought with each other sometimes and said that he was a child without a father, he still felt comfortable with them.
"Auntie and Dad are very busy. We will come to see you after I finish my work." Xia Yu didn't want to lie to this kid, but she couldn't bear hearing the sound of Jiangjiang's sadness.
"Then you have to hurry up. It rains a lot here every day. The adults tell that if it goes on like this, the road outside will be washed away." Jiangjiang was worried that there would be no way for Xia Yu to enter the mountain.
