CH 135

After eleven o’clock, Shen Quan sent Xiao Zheng home. At that time, Jiang Nian was still awake when she heard the voice and came downstairs. She saw Shen Quan supporting the half-drunk Xiao Zheng and carrying him to the house with difficulty.

Jiang Nian: “Why are you drunk?”

Shen Quan explained: “Just the two of us, we drank a few more glasses before we knew it. Sister Jiang, please help, Ah Zheng is too heavy!”

The smell of alcohol was too pungent, Jiang Nian raised her hand and fanned the tip of her nose, and beckoned to ask Uncle Wang to help carry Xiao Zheng into the house. It’s easy for two big men to carry one Xiao Zheng anyway.

Shen Quan was silent, don’t blame your brother for not helping, just blame yourself for being too stinky.

Xiao Zheng drooped his head and flattened his mouth in disappointment.

He was helped to the living room and lay on the sofa. Auntie brought a bowl of hangover soup to feed him, but he pushed her away. Auntie persuaded him a few times, but he became more and more impatient. Jiang Nian frowned and hummed, dissatisfied, “How dare a drunk person be disobedient?”

… He opened his mouth to drink in a daze, and even cleared all the scum at the bottom of the bowl.

Shen Quan smacked his tongue when he saw it, thinking that Xiao Zheng was good enough, but he was so obedient when he was drunk.

After Xiao Zheng drank the hangover soup, he lay on the sofa and didn’t move.

Jiang Nian looked at him and said to Shen Quan, “Thank you for sending Xiao Zheng back today. I’ll invite you to dinner next time.”

Shen Quan smiled and refused, although he and Xiao Zheng were not blood brothers, their relationship was better than that of blood brothers. Now that Xiao Zheng arrived home, he didn’t stay for long. Before leaving, he still tried to help his friend win brownie points, “Sister Jiang, Ah Zheng will take more care of you.”

Jiang Nian snorted and sent Shen Quan to the door, watching him drive away.

She returned to the living room and found that Xiao Zheng, who was lying with his eyes closed just now, seemed to be awake at the moment. He half closed his eyes to look at her, his collar was open, and because of drunkenness, his stern face seemed a little dazed and sexy at the moment.

“Sobered up?”

“…”

“Go back to your room to sleep when you’re completely awake.”

“Sister-in-law…”

“Huh?”

“Will you stay in our house forever?”

Jiang Nian smiled, “Didn’t you tell me not to stay at your house all the time? Isn’t it?”

Xiao Zheng said: “That’s different.”

“Why is it different?”

“…”

He stopped talking, struggled to sit up, and rubbed his aching forehead with one hand.

Jiang Nian said: “Okay, go upstairs to rest, and drink less in the future.”

Xiao Zheng nodded, “I see, I will drink less in the future.”

A big man who was nearly 1.9 meters tall, his aura and face equally extremely cold, but at this moment, he seemed to be a little obedient.

In other words, Xiao Zheng has always been very well-behaved and obedient in front of Jiang Nian.

He stood up and staggered upstairs. Jiang Nian couldn’t stand it any longer. She helped him upstairs, he walked faster and faster while leaning slightly on her, barely able to control himself.

…she’s so pretty.

He lowered his eyes, hiding the darkness in his eyes.

“Sister-in-law, have you… met someone you like?”

“No.”

He was secretly happy, but he didn’t dare to show it: “Then what kind of man do you like?”

Jiang Nian glanced at him: “You ask so many questions. What are you doing? Can you introduce me when you see something suitable?”

“…No.” Introduction is impossible, “I’ll just ask.”

“Well.”

“Then…”

Jiang Nian let go of his hand. Xiao Zheng wasn’t pay much attention, so he nearly collided against the wall, he was startled, looked at Jiang Nian in surprise. Seeing her staring at him with her hips on her shoulders, a trace of grievance appeared in his eyes, “Sister-in-law. …”

Jiang Nian was having none of it: “You talk too much, I think you are in good spirits, go back to your room by yourself.”

She clapped her hands, turned around and left. Xiao Zheng looked at Jiang Nian’s back, and touching blindly, he used the wall as a support and went back to the bedroom. He fell on the bed, rubbed his forehead, and covered the place where Jiang Nian had helped him with one hand. He wanted to laugh, but felt a little sad.

…

The next morning, when Xiao Zheng woke up, he experienced the headache of the hangover again. As soon as he went downstairs, his aunt handed him a bowl of hangover soup, and the old lady stared at him with scrutiny: “There’s nothing distressing going on, why are you drinking so much wine? You are not allowed to drink this much in the future, be careful that you will ruin your body.”

Xiao Zheng snorted and looked at the dining table, Jiang Nian was no longer there.

At this time, she should be doing her morning jog.

He didn’t see Jiang Nian and ended up going to work without catching a glimpse of her. He was a little disappointed and looked out the window in despair.

He thought that Jiang Nian should like a talented man like his brother, but he can’t even match his brother’s finger. He never thought that Jiang Nian would like him, only the best man can possibly deserve her.

When he arrived at the company, the assistant reported, “Mr. Xiao, Yun Shu has contacted me several times. Her mother’s condition has been stabilized after treatment. She said she wanted to thank you, but she was afraid of disturbing you.”

Xiao Zheng was stunned. It took a while to remember who Yun Shu was. He thought for a moment, and concluded inwardly that the agreement between him and her could already be stopped.

He asked his assistant to call Yun Shu.

Yun Shu had not heard from Xiao Zheng for a long time. It should be said that since she came back from Xiao’s house, she didn’t get a chance to have a word to Xiao Zheng again. He had never replied to her messages, but fortunately, she could still contact Xiao Zheng’s assistant. And from what the assistant told her, she heard that Xiao Zheng was very busy, he is always either in a meeting or dealing with official business and so on.

Yun Shu claims that she is not a whimsical woman. She had experienced first-hand the warmth and coldness of the world, and she could no longer permit herself the dreams and fantasy of youth, but Xiao Zheng’s sudden help pulled her out of the abyss of despair, just like a god. She was grateful to him but also afraid that he would make a difficult and against the morality request, but he just asked her to pretend that his girlfriend when accompanying him home for dinner. At the Xiao family banquet, she saw the real high society. They were talking about art, auctions, and major brands’ new products, that is, any hairpin’s price is worth her salary for several months.

She didn’t have any thoughts about the Xiao family, she only knew that the world was really unfair when she saw them.

As for Xiao Zheng, he was so indifferent that he was almost cold, and there was never a trace of warmth in his eyes. Only when he saw the old lady and Jiang Nian, did he show a little warmth. He helped her like this. Even if she didn’t dare to think about anything, she would inevitably have fantasies…

Such a good person, how much she really wanted to be close to him. If she had known him earlier and accompanied him through the most difficult years, would he have brought a little warmth to her when he looked at her, just like Jiang Nian.

Too bad he never gave her the slightest chance.

Just when she was disappointed, she suddenly received a call from Xiao Zheng, she was stunned for a moment, but her surprise was greater: “Mr. Xiao?”

Xiao Zheng leaned on the chair and said coldly: “Yun Shu, our agreement if called off, I hope you can keep it a secret, if anyone asks, say we were not suitable and have broken up.”

Yun Shu’s smile froze, and at this moment, the surprise turned into a fright: “You…”

Xiao Zheng interrupted her, ” Your mother’s medical bills will not be unpaid, you don’t have to worry about that, I will have the money credited to your account, we will not contact you again in the future, and you will not contact me again.”

The man’s words sounded cold and decisive.

Yun Shu was extremely disappointed, she smiled bitterly, knowing that she couldn’t keep Xiao Zheng at all, and she didn’t dare to ask for too much, because getting Xiao Zheng’s help was more than she’ll ever ask for, “Can I thank you? We have an agreement, but I took advantage of you, I didn’t help you, I want to treat you to a light meal, as a thank you for saving me and my mother.”

Xiao Zheng refused: “If you really appreciate me, do as I say. I don’t want unnecessary scandals to spread out.”

He didn’t say more and hung up the phone.

Yun Shu held the beeping mobile phone and looked at it again. The text message reminded her that she had a huge sum of money on her card. She didn’t feel happy, but felt lost instead.

How could someone who is in the dust like her be qualified to approach him?

…

After settling the matter with Yun Shu, Xiao Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn’t dare to ask for too much, he didn’t want Jiang Nian to misunderstand that he liked other women, the old lady…

The old lady thought he had selfishness towards Jiang Nian, but his selfishness was different from what the old lady thought, he just wanted to see her all the time, and that would be fine. But if the old lady picks things up, he was afraid this desire would also be dashed, and he naturally didn’t want this kind of thing to happen.

Xiao Zheng frowned and thought for a while, then summoned his assistant and asked, “Did anything happen with Yang Hai and Jiang Tao recently?”

The assistant reported, “Yang Hai and Jiang Tao have been busy with the land in the north of the city recently. They have organized several dinner parties. Their appearance is inevitable.”

Xiao Zheng stressed: “The land can’t be given to them.”

The assistant looked at Xiao Zheng and understood immediately: “Don’t worry, Mr. Xiao, I know what to do.”

The reason why Jiang Tao wanted to reconcile so badly was that Xiao’s company is a big pie with countless resources and a big capital, and Jiang’s is almost negligible in comparison. Jiang Nian owns 10% of Xiao’s shares, which is definitely a sweet pastry, making people greedy and fascinated.

For example, a lot of people have come to inquire about the old lady here, saying that they want to introduce Jiang Nian.

Although she was thirty-five, she was still young after all. While she was capable, she was also so beautiful. Time did not leave any heavy traces on her. Even if she had wrinkles, it made her appear more like wine that was buried deep and brewed for a long time. Her frown and her smile both were thus fascinating and charming. If you didn’t know any better, you wouldn’t have realized that she was thirty-five.

The old lady had no objection to this. She also helped to eliminate a few men who she felt were not worthy of Jiang Nian, and said that she wanted to see Jiang Nian’s intentions toward the whole matter. If she wanted to, that would be fine. If she didn’t want to, then she would not force her.

Jiang Nian did not reject this matter. Xiao Yi was already dead when she came through. She inherited the memory of the original owner but not her feelings, so Xiao Yi was not too important to her, just a little regret permeated in the back of her head. Well, that man was indeed outstanding, not worse than Xue Hang. If he hadn’t died, the Xiao family would not only not be in crisis, but it would be far bigger than it was now.

What’s more, Jiang Nian really doesn’t care about blind dates. If she has a little money, she has to stand aside. She feels that she can finally realize her dream of a life of looking at beauties left and right in this life.

Of course, Jiang Nian’s mind was still concocting schemes. While she followed the movements of Yang Hai and Jiang Tao, she did not forget to contact Jiang Tao, and asked him by the way, “Didn’t you apologize to me and promised to do better? Why are you still in touch with Yang Hai? Getting so close like that, did you forget all the sins I suffered in the first place?”

Jiang Nian felt that if she was going to be a white lotus, she’d be better than anyone else, she would definitely be the best in the world, and no one could surpass her!

She is such a genius.

When she returns to the original world, she will definitely be pride of the whole world!
