Chu Shixiong handed over all the matters of the company to Zhu Jiangci to take care of, and with every day that passed, his health would worsen, becoming worse and worse.

When he saw Zhu Jiangci bringing Jiang Kerou into the house, he did not glare at Zhu Jiangci as he would have done in the past. He only glanced at them, "Ah Cheng, take Miss Jiang out for a stroll and let her familiarize herself with the environment."

Song Cheng knew that Chu Shixiong had something to talk about, so he stepped forward, slightly turning his body, he said to Jiang Kerou, "Miss Jiang, please!"

Jiang Kerou subconsciously glanced at Zhu Jiangci, and only after seeing him nod his head, did she agree to leave with Song Cheng.

After they left, Zhu Jiangci spoke out, "I asked them to stay, is there anything you want to tell me?"

"Yes." Chu Shixiong looked at the person who left behind Song Cheng, and said solemnly, "You still brought her back."

"I said I'd bring her back."

Chu Shixiong smiled and shook his head, "Amongst the three of you brothers, you are the one that I am the most worried about, because you are the one who is most like me, I am worried that you would fail to live up to someone who is sincerely good to you, and also worried that you would not be able to see through your own feelings and randomly make decisions.

"Jiang Yan, there are no outsiders here, please answer me honestly. After Qiao An left, did you regret it?" Chu Shixiong's question was not heavy, but the sharp eyes that he had experienced before stared straight at him, making him unable to hide from it.

A crack appeared on Zhu Jiangci Wen Mo's face but in that instant, he returned back to normal. He said, "Is this what you want to ask about?"

"Boring?" Chu Shixiong laughed, "Lin Yan told me already, that ever since Qiao An left, you had been working day and night. What are you doing your best for, isn't it because you're afraid that if you stop to think back to that person who flew far away, you're afraid that you'll feel guilty, afraid that you'll regret it, afraid that you'll face that unfamiliar emotion of yours. You don't dare face your own true heart."

Zhu Jiangci rolled his eyes, his Adam's apple lightly rolling down, "The reason why I'm working is just to make up for the losses that I've caused to the company in the past few months."

"Is that so?" Chu Shixiong looked at him, as if he wanted to pry into his heart, "Forget it, you can fool me with these words, but you can't deceive yourself either. Since you've already brought the Jiang Clan girl back, I have my own words first, saying that I won't bother about your matters anymore.

Zhu Jiangci did not speak for a long time. She lifted her eyes and looked past Chu Shixiong and landed on the woman who was standing outside the window and smiling softly under the sunlight.

Marry her?

Wasn't this what he had always wanted the most? Now that it was about to happen, he should be happy.

Chu Shixiong saw through the conflict in Zhu Jiangci's heart and knew that he had to endure. He raised his hand and patted Zhu Jiangci's shoulder, "In the future, I will leave this family to you.

Hearing that, Zhu Jiangci turned and looked at Chu Shixiong.

Chu Shixiong laughed, "You don't need to look at me like that, people will always die, I have lived for so many years, and have experienced all sorts of storms, but now, I can't care about the matters of you youngsters, my body can't hold on any longer, after I die, you can bury me in the mausoleum garden in the northern suburbs."

Zhu Jiangci's cold brows loosened, "Dad …"

"Alright." Chu Shixiong patted his shoulder, took a deep breath and said, "Go busy yourself, bring her around the house properly. I'm tired, I'll go up to rest first, and there's no need to call me for dinner."

Zhu Jiangci silently looked at Chu Shixiong who was walking up the stairs. His back was hunched, and he was not as high-spirited as he was in the past.

It was as if he had aged several tens of years in a single night.

"I promise you." Seeing Chu Shixiong pause, Zhu Jiangci said, "No matter what happens, I will never make a move against Chu Tianze."

Chu Shixiong did not turn back, only giving a light grunt, before he slowly climbed up the stairs.

Until dinner time, Chu Shixiong did not show his face again.

At the long dining table, there were several empty chairs.

Chu Shixiong didn't want to eat it, and Chu Tianze had already moved out of the old house, there was still …

Zhu Jiangci's gaze fell on the empty seat opposite of him, and he became slightly dazed.

"Jiang Yan, what are you thinking about?" Feng Manli called out to him.

Zhu Jiangci remained calm and collected as he replied, "Nothing much."

On the other hand, Feng Manli did not notice anything strange about Zhu Jiangci, and only said, "Right now, you are already the person in charge of the Chu Family, you don't have to worry about that little bastard Chu Tianze coming to steal your things anymore."

The more she spoke, the happier she became, and you have become the only manager of the Chu Family. Chu Tianze tactfully left the house and did not disturb me anymore, and the most important thing was that Su Qiao An was finally willing to let you go. It's good that the child is gone, so in the future, you don't need to worry about her using the child as an excuse to harass you anymore.

Feng Manli said, seeing Jiang Kerou who was obediently sitting beside him, he became happier the more he looked at him, "Come, come, let's clink glasses and celebrate, this is truly a joyous occasion! Not long from now, you will be able to marry Xiao Rou back to your family and become my daughter-in-law! "

Jiang Kerou blushed, she pursed her lips and laughed, Feng Manli pulled her hand, and patted her lightly, "Look at you, you're still shy! When you marry over, you must help us our Chu Family to open up our branches and scatter our leaves, and help Jiang Baoyun give birth to a big fat kid so that I can embrace my grandson as soon as possible! "

"Mom, it's useless for me to try my best on this alone …" Jiang Kerou's eyebrows were raised in excitement as he spoke softly.

Feng Manli laughed loudly, but suddenly, Zhu Jiangci placed the tableware down heavily, "I've finished eating."

"Eh …" Feng Manli was startled, seeing him leave, she said, "Jiang Yan, where are you going?"

Unable to get Zhu Jiangci's answer, Feng Manli frowned, and muttered in a dissatisfied tone. Just a few sentences and you got angry! "

Jiang Kerou's expression was also not too good, she saw that Zhu Jiangci's bowl bottom obviously still had more than half of the dishes left untouched.

Because of what?

Was it because they mentioned Su Qiao An and the child, that made him have such a huge reaction, dropping the bowls and leaving the seats?

"Xiao Rou, don't bother with him. Feng Manli pulled her hand, and comforted her in a soft voice.

Jiang Kerou responded perfunctorily, he was a little absent-minded, and kept looking towards the door where no one was at a long time ago.

Damn it, Su Qiao An had already left, why did he still appear in their lives?

Was Zhu Jiangci unable to forget her now? At the beginning, he had clearly vowed that the person who did not fall in love with her was him!
