Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar face at the door, Chen Yu didn't know for a moment whether he should say that Zhou Shiyan knew everything about things, or that he knew Jiang Huai well.
In fact, when he first heard Zhou Shiyan say that he planned to give Hexi Manor to Ren Mengdi, he was also shocked. As a good brother, even he felt that Zhou Shiyan was really dishonest this time. No wonder Xie Yao almost jumped on him and scratched his face. .
But now...
Seeing the success clearly showing on Zhou Shiyan's face, he realized.
How despicable!
Zhou Shiyan stood up, patted the groom on the shoulder, and said with a faint smile, "Let's go."
He walked straight towards Jiang Huai, grabbing her wrist tightly and pulling her away as if he was afraid that she would escape again.
Although the wedding banquet had ended at this time, there were still many people lingering around the hotel.
Not for anything else, just for Zhou Shiyan who hasn’t left yet.
Nowadays, all the second generation people in the business world know how important it is to get to know Zhou Shiyan.
Let’s just talk about Chen Yu. The Chen family almost went bankrupt a few years ago. It was Zhou Shiyan who helped the Chen family during the crisis. Later, the Chen family not only successfully weathered the difficulties, but their business was also booming.
Also hanging out outside the hotel at this time was the wedding officiant from earlier.
The second generation disdained to interact with people like him, so he could only chat in the corner with his little assistant.
"Brother Chao, you are too courageous. To be honest, when you were cueing Zhou Shiyan on stage just now, I was shocked. Even the media didn't dare to ask questions, but you actually asked them in front of so many people. .I was really afraid that Zhou Shiyan would just turn his face and leave."
The little assistant is still frightened when he talks about it now.
"Do you think I'm stupid? How dare I say this without President Zhou's approval?"
"So, Mr. Zhou deliberately asked you to ask this on stage?"
The emcee nodded: "So, I guess something good is about to happen for President Zhou and Ren Mengdi, and they are going to recommend themselves. If one day I become the emcee of President Zhou's wedding, then my appearance fee should not be increased at all?"
The master of ceremonies was having a sweet dream, but when he turned around, he saw Zhou Shiyan pulling a woman and preparing to leave.
He knew in his heart that he should avoid them, but by some strange combination of circumstances, he quickly chased after them and stopped them.
The emcee handed over his business card, "Hello, Mr. Zhou, I am Xu Chao, the emcee of tonight's wedding. If you need it in the future..."
But before he could finish his words, Zhou Shiyan pulled Jiang Huai and walked away directly around him.
Xu Chao was bent over with a respectful look, but he didn't expect to be completely ignored.
Watching Zhou Shiyan's car drive away, he gritted his teeth and said, "That woman just now wasn't Ren Mengdi, was she? This news should be quite valuable if sold to the paparazzi."
Zhou Shiyan drove through the bustling downtown area.
The nightlife has just begun, and He'an Street is bustling at this time, and this entire street belongs to the Jiang family.
He controlled the steering wheel with one hand, turning his head from time to time to glance at Jiang Huai in the passenger seat.
She was speechless all the way, only looking sideways at the window.
There was no radio or music playing in the car, and it was so quiet that even the breathing of the two people could be heard clearly.
"Where have you been these past few years? Playing and running away from home? You have become more capable. Do you know that I am worried?"
Hearing his voice, Jiang Huai trembled visibly. She was still looking out the window, wondering what she was thinking.
"Don't talk to me like an adult. Why do you lecture me? Where are you taking me?"
When Zhou Shiyan heard this, he looked at her with complicated eyes.
"You finally came back and this is what you're telling me?"
"Otherwise? I have nothing to say to you. Oh, one thing. I just told you to return Hexi Manor to me. Why didn't you say anything?"
Zhou Shiyan was speechless for a moment and his face looked a little ugly.
Over the years, he has taken care of the Zhou family alone, and has become accustomed to and enjoys the feeling of having everything under his control.
But now, that existence that was out of his control appeared.
He gritted his molars and tried to communicate with her calmly.
"If I don't mention Hexi Manor tonight, where are you going to go? Why don't you tell me when you come back?"
Jiang Huai finally turned to look at him, feeling that this man was a bit baffled.
"Zhou Shiyan, I am an adult, why do I have to report to you for everything I do? Besides, why do you decide to give the Hexi Manor that grandma left to me to others?"
Zhou, Shi, Yan?
In the past, Jiang Huai, let alone talking back to him, even called him sweet brother. When had he ever called him by his first name?
Zhou Shiyan was feeling stuffy, holding the steering wheel tightly with one hand, his fingertips turning white.
"Why? Just because I am your brother!"
When Jiang Huai heard this, he turned his head back, looked out the window and whispered: "Adopted..."
"What did you say?"
"Give me back the Hexi Manor!"
He clenched his back teeth and said, "...We'll talk about it when we get home."
The two of them were silent for the rest of the journey, and Zhou Shiyan drove the car very fast.
Fortunately it was a suburb, otherwise he would have had to pay a few fines.
Zhou Shiyan took Jiang Huai back to Jiangnan Mansion. When they entered the door, Jiang Huai stood motionless at the door.
Everything in front of her was exactly the same as when she left. The familiar feeling buried in her heart suddenly surged up, and something overflowed from her eyes.
When Zhou Shiyan looked back, he saw her dropping little pearls.
He sighed, and the fire in his heart seemed to be extinguished by her tears.
He walked over and wiped her tears with his hands.
"Why are you crying?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Huai turned away from his palm.
She raised her hand to wipe her tears, like an angry child.
"Return Hexi Manor to me. I know you have a land use rights transfer agreement there. You sign it and I'll take it and leave. I have something else to do."
Zhou Shiyan's anger, which had just calmed down, suddenly rekindled.
His face was gloomy, and the fire in his eyes was darkly flashing.
"Jiang Huai, what on earth are you making?"
"I'm not making trouble. I have my own life, and I came back today just to get the manor back. Give me the agreement, and I'll leave immediately."
When Zhou Shiyan heard this, he felt his blood surge. Did she know how much effort he had put into finding her in the past few years?
Even if you come back without saying a word, you still want to leave?
His heart skipped a beat, and he walked over and carried the angry Jiang Huai into the house.
"Mother Zhang, go get the key to the young lady's room!"
This time, I can't let her go easily!
Seeing Jiang Huai finally come back, Zhang's mother stood behind and secretly wiped her tears, but the brother and sister got into an argument out of nowhere. She had no choice but to follow Zhou Shiyan's instructions first.
Without saying a word, Zhou Shiyan threw Jiang Huai on the bed, turned around and locked the door.
Jiang Huai regained consciousness and knocked on the door. He shouted anxiously in the room: "Zhou Shiyan, let me out! This is personal imprisonment. If you don't let me out, I'll call the police!"
After all, they are two brothers and sisters, and they can be despicable together.
It's a pity that Zhou Shiyan is not afraid of her insignificant threats at all.
"Heh, I'd like to see which policeman can call going home a physical imprisonment."
After saying that, he didn't care what Jiang Huai shouted and left without looking back.
Zhou Shiyan was so angry that Jiang Huai had a sore throat. When he was drinking water, Zhang Ma hesitantly said from behind: "Master, what's going on, miss? Have you eaten? Do you want me to do something else?"
Zhou Shiyan originally wanted to say no, but he was so angry that Jiang Huai was so angry.
But thinking about it carefully, he didn't see Jiang Huai appear at Chen Yu's wedding banquet, so he guessed that she probably didn't have dinner.
Helpless, even though he was angry, he still asked Zhang Ma to cook a bowl of noodles.
He was worried about Jiang Huai's health, and finally brought the noodles to her room in person.
Jiang Huai calmed down now. When she saw Zhou Shiyan come in, she stared at him accusingly, put his noodles on the table, and handed over the chopsticks.
She didn't answer, just stared at him with a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes, forcing him to say something.
"Want me to feed you?"
Jiang Huai ignored him and asked: "What do you want to do before you are willing to return Hexi Manor to me?"
Seeing that she didn't answer, Zhou Shiyan put the chopsticks into her hand, sighed, and said in the calmest voice: "Jiang Huai, I am a businessman. What can I get from giving Hexi Manor to you?"
When Jiang Huai heard this, he laughed.
Any worries are false.
Sure enough, Zhou Shiyan was still the same Zhou Shiyan.
