C35 Shen's Eccentricity

Shen Ye An's fingertips caressed his wine cup as he sneered. In Qiao Xi's eyes, none of them were kind people.

She focused on eating, ignoring what she shouldn't have heard, ignoring what she shouldn't have seen, and nervously waiting for the meal to end.

It seemed that Jiang Ying hadn't seen her son for a long time. After dinner, she called her son away. The old man also went upstairs, leaving her and Shen Yiling alone in the main hall.

Qiao Xi sat quietly. Suddenly, Shen Ye Ling sat in front of her and brewed a pot of tea. "Miss Qiao, do you mind if I drink a cup?"

"Thank you, Mister Shen."

"My brother seems to have great faith in Miss Qiao."

"You might have seen wrongly. Your brother and I have only known each other for a short period of time. This is impossible."

"It seems like Miss Qiao didn't see her position clearly."

Qiao Xi did not understand the meaning behind Shen Ye Ling's words. He was trying to tell him that he had gained the attention of Shen Ye An.

"The Shen family is not an ordinary family. Being too close to my brother is not a good thing for Miss Qiao."

"Mr. Shen, you worry too much. I have a boyfriend."

This surprised Shen Yeyan, he actually allowed it.

"That's good. I wish you happiness."

"Thank you, and I wish you all the best."

Qiao Xi had already vaguely seen through Shen Ye Ling's ambition. It was just that it was strange that the Shen family only had Shen Ye An as their sole heir despite having only two sons.

She pursed her lips and muttered in her heart. Shen Ye Ling pushed a cup of tea to her and just as she lifted it up, old man Shen came down with a serious expression on his face. Qiao Xi was called up again.

Shen Ye Ling sneered as he looked at Qiao Xi's back as he went upstairs. Was the Old Master hoping that Qiao Xi could cure Shen Ye An's illness? Hehe, he just sat there and waited for Shen Yeyan's joke.

In the room, Jiang Ying smiled as she sat on the wheelchair and looked at her son standing in front of the window with some concern. After so many years had passed, the son that she was proud of had grown up to become the outstanding heir to the Shen family.

"How have you been?"

Shen Yeyan knitted his brows as he glanced at her. He felt a bit impatient.

"Take care of yourself, don't worry about me."

Jiang Ying did not seem to notice his frown. "I will be staying in the country for the time being. Come to the house whenever I have time."

"He would rather hear what you have to say to Shen Ye Ling."

"Ye An, he's your big brother."

"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first."

Jiang Ying suddenly raised his voice that was almost sharp: "Wait, what happened to that Qiao Xi?"

Shen Ye An's black eyes shot over. His eyes were filled with anger as he said, "When you ask about this, first explain to that wild man outside."

After Jiang Ying was sprayed with blood, Shen Yeyan walked out of the room and headed straight to the living room. He didn't see Qiao Xi, but he saw Shen Yiling, who was leisurely drinking tea on the sofa, and purposely provoked him.

"Second Brother, what is it that makes you so unhappy?"

"It has something to do with you?"

"As an elder brother, you should always pay more attention to your younger brother."

"You still care about yourself too much. Don't sit on the chair under your butt until it's hot."

Shen Ye An cast a glance at his suppressed savageness. This was the true face of Shen Ye Ling, he had started to fight with him over it many years ago, pretending to be kind and filial in front of his elders. Now, he wouldn't give him any chance.

Recently, he had caused quite a commotion. He even had plans for him, but no one told him that a tiger's ass couldn't be touched?

He sneered and went upstairs, just in time to bump into Qiao Xi who had come down.

"What are you running around for? Let's go."

Qiao Xi had just been secretly pressured by Old Master Shen, but was then scolded by Shen Ye An. The Shen family did not have any good people. Everyone in the Shen family used their skills well.

Shen Jingbin and Shen Yeyan left for the company. Mr. Shen, who was sitting in the back seat, had a dark expression on his face. Li Ran had been driving very carefully the whole way, and every time he saw Mrs. Shen, he would become irritable.

Qiao Xi followed Shen Ye into the office. He stood in front of the wine rack and opened a bottle of strong wine. He quickly poured a cup and was about to gulp it down.

"Mister Shen, drinking alcohol is harmful to your condition."

"It's not that you're here, you can heal me."

"What you just said is equivalent to committing suicide in front of a doctor and asking the doctor to save you. Is there anything wrong with your head?"

Qiao Xi walked over with her arms crossed. She was full of anger today as well. She had been tested by the Shen family one by one and was extremely furious.

"Drink it. It's best if you drink a bottle of wine. I'll call an ambulance for you right now."

She took out her phone and clicked on the dialing interface. Suddenly, Shen Yeyan let out a cold laugh and put down his wine cup heavily. He gritted his teeth in annoyance and looked at her helplessly. Qiao Xi turned a blind eye to his helplessness.

"Since you've calmed down, I won't disturb you at work."

She found a corner and sat down. Seeing that she was already quietly sitting there, Shen Ye An couldn't find a topic to continue talking to her for a while, so he returned to his seat huffily.

The clock in the office ticked, and Qiao Xi saw Xu Yicheng's text message: [Xi Xi, do you have time to eat dinner tonight?]

Qiao Xi bit her lips and looked at Shen Yeyan, who was engrossed in her work. After thinking for a while, she slowly spoke up. "Teacher Shen, can I go out for a meal tonight?"

Shen Ye An looked at the documents and replied, "Yes, I must come back for treatment before 9 pm."

"OK."

He didn't expect that Shen Ye An would suddenly be so easy to talk to today. Qiao Xi quickly replied to Xu Yicheng.

After 2 PM, Shen Yeyan went out and did not return home from work until nightfall. After Qiao Xi left the building, she directly took a taxi to the hospital.

Xu Yi Cheng specifically asked for a leave of absence tonight. After a long night, he couldn't wait to see her.

Qiao Xi bought two cups of milk tea and sat in the shop. Through the glass window, she saw that he was crossing the road and jogging his way in.

"Xi Xi, sorry for being late."

She pushed the milk tea over. "I don't know if you like it."

Xu Yicheng didn't have the habit of drinking milk tea, so he pushed it to the side. "Thank you."

"You're off duty on time today."

"Well, what about you? Are you busy? Is your patient easy to get along with?"

In Qiao Xi's mind, the image of Shen Ye An furiously smashing things down appeared. He pursed his lips and said, "It's not easy to get along with."

"Since you don't like it, why not refuse it? The richer you are, the greater your temper will be."

Qiao Xi guessed that he probably knew that that person was Shen Yenan. "However, I have already signed the contract, so it's impossible for me to break it on my own."

"Xi Xi, I'll pay you the cancellation fee. If you don't want to do it, then don't do it."

With their current relationship, it was not suitable for them to pay the fees. Moreover, it was a huge sum of several million. Even if Xu Yi Cheng's family background was not bad, he still wouldn't be able to fork out that much money in one go.

"You'll be fine after this period of time. What do you want to eat? Look at the menu."

The menu was passed to him and Xu Yi Cheng put it aside without even looking at it. He took her hand and said, "Xi Xi, I always feel like your job is too hard and isn't suitable for you. I'll find a new one for you."

No matter how slow Qiao Xi was, he could tell that Xu Yicheng wasn't normal.
