Xia Yu naturally agreed to Xia Wanyuan’s request. “Okay, Sister. Don’t worry. I’ll be there on time tomorrow.”
Xia Yu carried something in one hand and the phone in the other. Just as he was about to press the elevator button, a fair hand reached out and pressed the 16th floor before him.
Xia Yu looked up and met a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes. “Sister, bye,” Xia Yu said to Xia Wanyuan and hung up.
“You have a sister?” Seeing Xia Yu looking at her blankly, Jiang Yun smiled and found a topic.
“Huh? Hmm, right.” Xia Yu scratched the back of his head.
“I’m not surprised.” Jiang Yao looked at Xia Yu’s red ears and smiled. This boy looked like a younger brother.
Xia Yu turned to look at Jiang Yun. Her short hair made her look even more capable. When she met Jiang Yun’s smiling eyes, Xia Yu felt an impulse. “My name is Xia Yu. What about you?”
Xia? Jiang Yun was subconsciously stunned for a moment, but Xia was a too ordinary surname. Jiang Yun did not think much of it and nodded at Xia Yu. “Hello, my name is Jiang Yun.”
Jiang Yun? Xia Yu smiled and revealed his white teeth. He was filled with youthfulness. Jiang Yun felt as if she had drunk a glass of lime soda and had a refreshing feeling.
At that moment, Jiang Yun’s phone rang. It was the company’s assistant. There was a problem with a project. After hearing the assistant’s anxious report,
Jiang Yun frowned slightly and said in a stern tone, “Whoever is in charge of the project will come up with a solution. If you can’t even do such a small thing, why would the company support you?”
With that, Jiang Yun hung up the phone. Only then did she realize that there was someone else beside her. The corners of Jiang Yun’s lips twitched. “I’m sorry, it’s a work habit.”
“It’s fine.” Xia Yu’s ears were still red, but as if he was afraid that Jiang Yun would misunderstand him, he looked straight at Jiang Yun with bright eyes. “You’re not fierce. You’re very good-looking.”
With that, Xia Yu seemed to have realized what he had said and scolded himself in his heart. What are you talking about?!
However, Jiang Yun was amused by his words. Jiang Yun’s facial features were extremely good, but the powerful aura on her body covered the beauty of her facial features. When she smiled, there was a hint of gentleness and beauty.
“Do I look good when I’m scolding my subordinates?” Other than work, Jiang Yun had never interacted with men, but she found this little brother quite interesting.
Xia Yu’s face was burning, but he still nodded. The young man’s eyes were clear and untainted by society. “Mm.”
Jiang Yun looked at the dimples on Xia Yu’s face and his heart skipped a beat. Just as she was about to say something, the elevator reached the 16th floor with a ding.
Jiang Yun walked out and waved at Xia Yu. “Bye.”
“Bye.” Xia Yu bade Jiang Yun farewell happily. It was only when Jiang Yun’s figure disappeared from sight that Xia Yu realized that he had not left the elevator, but the elevator door had already closed.
Xia Yu took the elevator to the top floor helplessly, then came down and returned home after a long time.
Just as Jiang Yun returned home, Jiang Kui called.
“I received news that Xia Wanyuan is going to Continent O for five days. In these five days, seize the opportunity. Sister, you have to know that Father didn’t call you back to lord over the company. The company will be mine sooner or later, and your mission is to settle Jun Shiling.”
Jiang Yun had been sent overseas since she was young, and her relationship with Jiang Kui was not close. What he did not expect was that his sister’s ability was so strong that it made him feel threatened.
Jiang Kui had always known that he was the successor of the Jiang family, but these days, his father had been praising his sister in all sorts of ways, making him very angry.
To a wealthy family, if they wanted to chase a woman away and marry her off for marriage, they could strip her of her power to inherit the family. Jiang Kui did not have much hope that Jiang Yun could settle Jun Shiling, but he had to find some other people to send Jiang Yun out.
“Brother, can you say something else? Let me settle Jun Shiling? Why don’t you say you’ll settle Xia Wanyuan?” Jiang Yun kicked the high heels off her feet and leaned on the sofa tiredly.
“Is this how you talk to your brother? You have no right to direct in the Jiang family.” Jiang Kui’s tone was filled with anger.
“I have something on. I’m hanging up.” Jiang Yun was unwilling to talk to Jiang Kui anymore.
“What is this? I gave her face!” After being hung up on Jiang Yun for the second time, Jiang Kui was furious and threw his phone aside.
“Hey, who made our Young Master Jiang angry?” Zou Man walked in and wrapped her hand around Jiang Kui’s neck. “Young Master Jiang ~”
Jiang Kui, who was in a fit of anger, was in no mood to flirt with Zou Man. He pushed Zou Man aside. “Don’t bother me.”
Displeasure flashed across Zou Man’s eyes, but she hid it. The smile on her face did not change. She walked to the side and poured a glass of water for Jiang Kui, then quietly waited for him to calm down.
“I’m going to Continent O,” Jiang Kui suddenly said after a while.
“Continent O?” The design competition was about to begin. Xia Wanyuan was about to set off. At this time, Jiang Kui was going to Continent O, so Zou Man had to think more.
“Go back. I’ll look for you when I’m back,” Jiang Kui said as he took out a card. “Use it.”
Zou Man gritted her teeth so hard that they were about to break. He kept sending me away with a card. What did he think I was? A prostitute? However, Zou Man still maintained her composure. “Okay, Hubby, I’ll wait for you.”
——
In the seventh prison’s underground medical room.
The curve on the heart monitor was steadily extending.
Through the window of the ward, Jun Shiling’s expression darkened. He looked at Shen Xiu and asked, “How is it?”
Shen Xiu shook his head. “We don’t know what’s in Chief Bo’s body, so we don’t dare to act rashly. We can only observe through a weak electric current. From the looks of it, your kick was just right. You must have broken some balance. The magnetic wave in Chief Bo’s body is gradually weakening.”
“Continue to observe. I’ll go in and take a look at him.”
“Okay.” Shen Xiu brought Jun Shiling into the ward and recorded the data on the ECG monitor before leaving the ward.
The ward was very quiet, and only the sound of medicine dripping could be heard.
After standing for a long time, Bo Xiao finally moved on the bed. His eyelids moved and he slowly opened his eyes.
It took Bo Xiao a long time to get used to the light in the room. He gently turned around and saw Jun Shiling standing at the side.
Jun Shiling did not speak and only nodded gently at Bo Xiao.
The corners of Bo Xiao’s lips curled up in relief.
After a while, Bo Xiao opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something to Jun Shiling.
“An Rao lives in the manor and is fine.” Jun Shiling knew what Bo Xiao was going to ask.
Bo Xiao’s eyelids twitched.
“You’re welcome,” Jun Shiling added. He looked at the time. “Rest well.”
Bo Xiao finally closed his eyes peacefully. Jun Shiling went forward and tidied his blanket.
A moment later, Jun Shiling left the ward.
In the room, Bo Xiao’s hand moved slightly. Jun Shiling had just gently touched him with the back of his fist.
Bo Xiao heaved a sigh of relief and breathed out on the oxygen mask. It was white.
The touch of the fist on the back was the etiquette between brothers.
Bo Xiao’s fox-like eyes curled up a little.
He had never revealed anything to Jun Shiling, and Jun Shiling had never asked him anything.
The tacit understanding between brothers had never needed unnecessary words.
