CH 138

Xiao Zheng was in a good mood.

Even sitting next to Jiang Nian, doing nothing, not saying anything, could make him feel so fulfilled and satisfied.

He suppressed the excitement and joy that rose like a tide in his heart, and stuffed a small cake into his mouth with a stiff face. The way he lowered his eyes made people think that he was thinking about something earnestly and seriously.

He secretly glanced at Jiang Nian who was sitting beside him, then withdrew his gaze, bent his fingers, and curved his lips secretly.

But it’s a pity that Xiao Zheng’s good mood did not last long, and was completely shattered when he saw Yun Shu.

Yun Shu was on the second floor, standing where they just were minutes before. When she saw him looking her way, she smiled and waved at him with a natural, elegant and gentle attitude.

Xiao Zheng frowned and lowered his gaze.

Yun Shu’s smile froze, only to feel that her scalp was numb, which was a rather ugly feeling.

She understood the meaning behind Xiao Zheng’s eyes almost immediately, she shouldn’t be here, he didn’t want to see her! Although she had long understood that she was just a partner to Xiao Zheng and nothing else, but when she really saw Xiao Zheng’s undisguised boredom, she still felt suffocated in her heart and couldn’t bring herself to accept it.

She knew that she came here today nominally for Shen Quan’s birthday, but she was selfish, she came for another purpose. If she misses this time, it will be difficult for her to find a chance to see Xiao Zheng again, so she came anyway. Despite Xiao Zheng’s threat, she still came.

Yun Shu knew that she was a little whimsical. Who was Xiao Zheng? He was not an existence that she could approach. But even though he was so indifferent to her, she still thought that it was because he had experienced the pain of the death of his relatives and had struggled all the way up until now that he had cultivated the coldness and hard-heartedness of today, so she couldn’t help but want to get close to him and care about him.

But she never would have expected that he didn’t need her thoughts and concern at all, he already had someone in his heart who could give him warmth.

Jiang Nian raised her head, followed Xiao Zheng’s gaze and saw Yun Shu who seemed lost. Yun Shu saw that Jiang Nian had also looked at her, and was immediately embarrassed. She forced a smile at her, then turned around and ran away in a panic until she disappeared from their field of view.

Jiang Nian turned to look at Xiao Zheng.

Xiao Zheng’s face turned darker all of a sudden, and he immediately wanted to drag Shen Quan out and beat him. Yun Shu appeared here, meaning that Shen Quan couldn’t get rid of her and shoo her away properly. He was a little flustered in his heart and wanted to explain, but found that there was no doubt nor curiousness on her face, and she had a good appetite and ate a whole cake. The words of explanation he came up with died in his throat, and felt as if his heart had been pinched, bringing out some pain.

Even the originally sweet cake became dull and tasteless at this moment.

He lowered his eyes and poked at the cake, he was afraid she would misunderstand, but she didn’t care at all.

…

Xiao Zheng was smoking on the balcony on the second floor. Yun Shu had been hiding and peeking at his figure for a while. His lonely appearance made Yun Shu feel a little sad, so she couldn’t hold back, she twisted her fingers and stepped forward, “Ah Zheng, how have you been recently?”

Xiao Zheng flicked the cigarette ashes, indifferent, and looked at her condescendingly: “Do you still want your mother to receive treatment at An Ran’s hospital?”

In that look, where could you find any trace of loneliness? Yun Shu’s cautious appearance changed drastically, she opened her eyes wide and looked at him in shock: “I… I just care about you, why are you…”

Xiao Zheng snorted, his attitude harsh: “My words, do you not take them seriously? You think I have helped you, so I’m a good person?”

Yun Shu replied hastily: “No, I don’t mean anything else. I’m very grateful for your help. I came here solely because it’s Shen Quan’s birthday. I didn’t think about anything else.”

Xiao Zheng used her for he wanted to deceive the old lady, so he naturally brought her to meet Shen Quan twice. That is, at that time, Yun Shu and Shen Quan crossed paths, but this intersection would not make Shen Quan take the initiative to ask her to come to his birthday party, and Xiao Zheng knew this well. So it could only be that Yun Shu took the initiative to find Shen Quan. Shen Quan has a wide range of friends, has a mild temper, and pays special attention to gentlemanly manners when treating women, so it is not surprising that he would invite her to his birthday.

And the premise is that Yun Shu takes the initiative. Yun Shu and Shen Quan do not have a particularly good relationship, so she is here either for the sake of making her way into the high society, or for him.

Xiao Zheng was a fool only in front of Jiang Nian.

“If you don’t want me to withdraw all help to your mother, just remember what I said and don’t appear in front of me.”

“…You really misunderstood me, I came only for Shen Quan’s birthday.”

“I don’t care about your reasons, I only look at the result.”

“…”

Yun Shu froze in place, her eyes were full of horror, only to feel that the indifferent man in front of her eyes became terrifying at this moment.

– He was serious.

Was Jiang Nian really that important to him? She just appeared in front of Jiang Nian and didn’t even get to say a word, but he couldn’t wait for her to disappear.

She staggered, dazed, took a few steps back, then turned around and ran, almost knocking the oncoming Shen Quan to the ground. She couldn’t care too much, she said sorry in a hurry and ran past him in a flash.

Shen Quan rubbed his hurt shoulder, looked at Xiao Zheng who was dressed in black on the balcony, and asked helplessly, “What did you say to Yun Shu? You made the little girl cry.”

Xiao Zheng said coldly: “How come I didn’t find you so casual before?”

Shen Quan said, “What do you mean by casual, I just have tender feelings for the fairer sex*, okay?”

*怜香惜玉, idiom

“Heh.”

” Besides, wasn’t it you who worked with Yun Shu in the first place?”

“You know it’s me and you don’t know how to avoid suspicion?”

“…”

Shen Quan walked to Xiao Zheng’s side, patted him on the shoulder and said, ” Why? Even if Sister Jiang didn’t misunderstand you, it doesn’t mean that it’s possible for you two (to be together).”

Xiao Zheng slapped his hand away: “No need for you to care.”

Shen Quan shrugged and suddenly said: “You look like this… Aren’t you afraid that Sister Jiang will find out?”

…find out?

Xiao Zheng was a little flustered, a little expectant, a little scared, and vaguely excited. There seemed to be two voices pulling at his heart, one voice encouraged him to desperately rush to Jiang Nian and tell her that he liked her, and the other warned him that if he did, he would regret it.

He dared not.

In fact, this is also very good now, it is enough for him to be by her side.

…

Yun Shu cried and ran to the bathroom. She just wanted to find a quiet place, but she met Jiang Nian there, to her surprise. The latter turned her back to her, a long black slim dress outlining her curvy body, and her curly hair was falling to her shoulders, elegant and full of style.

She suddenly felt a little jealous of her, why did she get Xiao Zheng’s wholehearted love and devotion? Because she accompanied Xiao Zheng through the most difficult time? But she’s old, and she’s his sister-in-law to boot…

“Sister-in-law.”

Jiang Nian took out a piece of paper and looked at Yun Shu as she wiped her hands. Yun Shu’s eyes were red, and there was still panic on her face that she didn’t have time to hide. She looked in her eyes and called, “Sister-in-law, I…” She calmed down and looked very serious, “Actually, I really like Xiao Zheng.”

Jiang Nian frowned, wondering, “Why are you telling me this?”

Yun Shu replied: “I think you can understand me, just like you like Ah Zheng’s eldest brother, you understand that feeling, right?”

Jiang Nian raised her eyebrows, she squeezed the tissue she wiped her hands with into a ball and threw it in the trash can, her attitude turning cold: “Yun Shu, I don’t understand how you feel, and I will never understand you, not at all.”

Yun Shu hurriedly apologized: “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to offend you, don’t be angry.”

Jiang Nian laughed: “It’s good if you understand. Anyone who has offended me will not end well. My heart is very small, I don’t know what would happen if someone angered me.”

Yun Shu’s heart tightened and she laughed to cover up her ugly expression. She felt that Jiang Nian at the moment was very similar to Xiao Zheng, as if she had seen through the thoughts in her heart.

Jiang Nian pouted, this Yun Shu was also very smart, she reminded her that she was Xiao Zheng’s wife, so that she could remember her identity.

Seriously speaking, Xiao Yi is nothing to her at all. If she transmigrated earlier, maybe she would have had a life-and-death love affair with Xiao Yi, but when she came, Xiao Yi was too dead to die a second time. How can you be in love if you didn’t even cultivate feelings? She didn’t even have time to think of him and devoted herself to the battle for the big gold.

So Xiao Yi will definitely not be an obstacle to her wealth and life, and the only thing that can make her die is big gold!

She looked at Yun Shu: “What else do you want to say?”

Yun Shu hesitated before shaking her head: “Nothing.”

As Jiang Nian was getting further and further away, Yun Shu suddenly ran in a hurry, caught up with her, and said, “Sister-in-law, in fact, Ah Zheng and I have already broken up.”

Jiang Nian was not surprised, “Is this what you want to say?”

Yun Shu replied: ” No, I want to say, I don’t deserve him, he is so good, he deserves a better woman, it should be a famous lady like you.”

Jiang Nian frowned and affirmed with a smile, “You really don’t deserve Xiao Zheng, since you have said so, then you don’t need to worry about Xiao Zheng’s life-long affairs.”

Yun Shu choked: “I…”

“Yun Shu!”

The man’s indifferent voice suddenly came from behind, Yun Shu turned back stiffly, and when she saw Xiao Zheng her face paled instantly. He was imposing, and his dark eyes looked at her, as if wishing for her to disappear immediately!

Xiao Zheng was truly angered: “Do you take my words as air?”

Yun Shu shook her head unconsciously, she didn’t know what happened to her, she should be… Jealous, she was jealous of Jiang Nian, because Xiao Zheng cared too much about her. For this woman, he alienated and reprimanded her without giving her a chance to explain, and threatened her, even threatening her with the life of her favorite mother, just for fear that Jiang Nian would misunderstand him.

That’s why she couldn’t restrain herself and reminded Jiang Nian several times. She didn’t dare to tell Jiang Nian bluntly that Xiao Zheng liked her, she hoped that she could see her identity clearly and stay away from Xiao Zheng.

Xiao Zheng was furious. If Jiang Nian wasn’t watching, he would almost be unable to restrain his temper!

Shen Quan rubbed his forehead helplessly. He looked at Yun Shu, he didn’t expect Yun Shu to be so bold. She actually went to say something like that to Jiang Nian, and Xiao Zheng listened to their conversation!

Well now, he was only afraid of Xiao Zheng going crazy.
