Chapter 178: The Temptation of Going Home
A Michelin three-star restaurant about two kilometers away from the department store.
Jiang Siyue sat by the viewing window in the corner of the second floor of the restaurant, with an embroidered screen behind her to separate the seats.
"Mr. Lu," she said, shaking her wine glass expressionlessly, her tone cold and emotionless, "I admit that it was wrong for me to break into the winery yesterday."
"But your employer is willing to spend 50 million to hire someone to rip you off, but you are so self-deprecating that you think your life is not as valuable as the seven-tenths of the wine and insist on splitting it 50-50 with me?"
"..."
"Are you trying to 'PUA' me?"
Across the round table, Lu Si'en, wearing a platinum suit and a dark green coat, looked like a little aristocratic prince.
His Shenzhou dialect was indeed improving day by day, but he was still unsure of the exact meaning of some words, so his reactions were always a beat slow.
"Miss Jiang, since you know the terms of employment so well, you should know that the person who wants to kill me spent 50 million RMB, right?"
Jiang Siyue took a sip of sherry slowly: "Hmm."
Lu Sien spread his hands and said, "But the wine in the wine cellar is settled in Green Eagle Coins."
——Green Eagle Coin, one of the international currencies, has an exchange rate of about 1:7.3 with Shenzhou currency.
"Oh," Jiang Siyue was not moved at all, but even more indifferent. "So what? You think your life is not as valuable as that wine worth seven-tenths (in brackets, Green Eagle Coins)?"
Lu Sien was shocked: "...How can you be so unreasonable!"
Jiang Siyue pretended not to hear and asked confidently, "Is this how you treat your savior?"
“…”Fuck your savior!!
However, Lu Si'en was indeed a hidden ruthless man who kicked his own brother and seized the family property. Even though he was so angry that his back teeth were about to break, he still managed to maintain that social and friendly smile on his face.
"Miss Jiang, we are all adults now. It is really pointless to argue back and forth just to show off our verbal skills."
He said with a wry smile, "The owner of the manor will be here in a few minutes. As for who is right and who is wrong, it is better to wait until the matter is made clear and let others judge."
Jiang Siyue subconsciously glanced at the time on his watch: "Someone else? But no matter how 'other' he is, isn't he still your friend?"
"I was worried that you two had already discussed it privately and were waiting to play double game to blackmail me later."
"What... cough cough cough! What?!" Lu Si'en just happened to have a mouthful of aperitif wine slip into his throat, and he almost choked to death after hearing it, "Blackmail you??!"
He quickly put down his glass and said solemnly: "Miss Jiang, I swear to God!"
"If that guy could really work with me, we would have zero points today, and there would be no point in discussing it!"
Jiang Siyue obviously didn't believe the one-sided words of this noble "little prince": "Huh? Why? Aren't you good brothers?"
"Yeah, but so what?" Lu Sien used a napkin to wipe the knuckles that were splattered with red wine. "Don't you have an old saying in Shenzhou that goes 'brothers should settle accounts clearly'?"
"Even if Xiao Yan and I...well, Xiao Yan and I are good brothers, we can't break the rules."
"Besides, there is a saying in Shenzhou that there are no rules..."
"Wait a minute," but before he could finish his words, Jiang Siyue interrupted him without allowing him to argue, "Mr.... Mr. Yan? Which Yan?"
"...Ah?" Lu Si'en blinked in confusion, but answered honestly, "It's the Chinese idiom, 'the world is peaceful'."
Jiang Siyue: “…”
Strange, why did she feel that this scene was a little familiar?
Jiang Siyue remained silent for a while and was about to open his mouth to ask more questions.
But the next second, he was suddenly stunned again.
Shit, what was she thinking just now? Why did she suddenly want to delve into this issue? ?
There are more than one billion people in China, and not to mention the coincidence of characters, there are many people with the last name "Yan".
If we really talk about probability, the possibility that the friend of this seemingly stupid but actually stupid nobleman in front of her is Zhou Shiyan is probably as outrageous as her picking up a lottery ticket in an uninhabited area and winning a jackpot of tens of millions after scratching it.
What was there for her to ask about with such a ridiculous result?
I wouldn't know him even if I asked.
So Jiang Siyue figured it out and was too lazy to bother with Lu Sien anymore.
Poor Mr. Lu was ignored for no reason and didn't understand Jiang Siyue's meaning at all.
He only felt that there was a layer of dark energy covering her whole body, as if she might get unhappy at any time and throw the sherry in his face.
"...Ms. Jiang." After he finished imagining this, Lu Si'en suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart.
Jiang Siyue: "What?"
Lu Si'en asked fearfully, "You suddenly stopped talking. Do you know Mr. Xiao Yan? Or... does he have a grudge against you?"
"?" Jiang Siyue looked up in confusion, as if she really wanted to know where his train of thought had gone. "I don't know him, and we have no grudge against him."
"But if I can still meet enemies like this, there is only one thing I can do."
Lu Sien was immediately eager to learn: "What?"
Jiang Siyue was not stingy and answered openly: "——Stab him again, and make sure to stab him thoroughly. This way, there will be no second 'resurrection'."
"..."
I shouldn’t have asked her that question, Lu Si’en thought woodenly.
Looking at Jiang Siyue who was walking as if nothing had happened, he felt for the first time what it was like to be sitting on pins and needles and felt like a thorn in the back. He couldn't help but shout in his heart:
Xiao Yanyan, where are you? Come and protect me!
At this moment, a tall figure suddenly appeared ten meters away. Led by a waiter, he strode through the hall door and walked straight to the corner.
The man was wearing a white shirt and a gray vest, trousers and a tie of the same color, and the hem of his black coat rippled slightly with his steps, and his whole body exuded a golden glow like a savior.
Lu Si'en's eyes suddenly lit up.
But it was not good to lose composure in public, so no matter how excited he was, he could only pretend to be calm and raised his chin towards Jiang Siyue: "Miss Jiang, someone is here."
Jiang Siyue uttered an indifferent "hmm", then put down her wine glass and leaned back in her chair.
It was not until she heard footsteps approaching that she raised her eyes nonchalantly: "——?!"
"Master Zhou, why are you wearing glasses today?" However, Lu Si'en's entire attention was focused on little Yanyan, whom he "thought about day and night", and he was completely unaware of the unusual atmosphere at the moment.
Zhou Shiyan walked past the screen and was about to take a seat: "Isn't it because of a certain fully automatic trouble-making machine...!?"
Then his voice stopped abruptly, and he met Jiang Siyue's death stare in disbelief.
Lu Sien was the only one in the room who didn't know the truth: "What kind of fully automatic trouble-making machine? Is it the new high-tech developed by Tianyue?"
"........."
He was answered by deathly silence.
The distance between the capital and Xinliton is tens of thousands of kilometers. The couple, who have to count the time difference and "flirt" every day, are now less than half a meter apart.
When their eyes met, it seemed as if even the air froze, and the scene was extremely strange for a moment.
After a while, Lu Si'en, who had been out of the loop, finally realized something was wrong and asked cautiously, "Well, Miss Jiang. So you... still know each other...?"
He used the word "also" to emphasize rigor.
Jiang Siyue followed Zhou Shiyan's evasive gaze closely, and then laughed meaningfully: "I know him. How could I not know him?"
Lu Sien: “!”
At that moment, countless melodramatic plots such as infighting in wealthy families, tragic love affairs, and unrequited love - because of the class differences, my parents oppose us being together, this is a 100 million yuan to leave my son, I will see my white moonlight again after marriage, etc. - all emerged in his mind.
He looked at Zhou Shiyan with a complicated expression, then at Jiang Siyue, and couldn't help but think of Zhou Shiyan's newlywed wife who might still be waiting for him to come home in Shenzhou...
Oh my god, isn't this "The Temptation of Going Home" coming to reality? ! Chinese TV dramas are really honest!
It is human nature to gossip, and foreign friends are no exception.
Lu Si'en immediately waved over the waiter and said with his hands covering his mouth: "Now serve the main course, and open two bottles of your most expensive wine for me!"
The waiter waved him away.
At the same time, there was a "click" sound.
It was Jiang Siyue who crushed the two walnuts in his pocket with his bare hands.
"!!" Zhou, who felt so guilty that he wanted to rewind and start over, had his pupils tremble when he heard the voice. It took him only 0 seconds to understand what she meant.
——Explain, or the next thing to be smashed will be your head.
Zhou Shiyan knew he was in the wrong, so he immediately pinched the corner of her clothes in a weak, pitiful and aggrieved manner: "Wife... I was wrong..."
He had originally planned to tell Jiang Siyue about his sudden airborne visit to America after he had resolved the winery issue. He thought that this would make sense, and Jiang Siyue would not be too angry even if she knew about it.
大不了就是挨顿打嘛。反正打是亲骂是爱，老婆不爱他才不会揍他。
……当然老婆不揍他也是爱他！
I didn't expect that plans couldn't keep up with changes.
Well, it's true that they can meet each other with a probability of one in billions...
If this isn't a match made in heaven for your dad, then what is?!
He and his daughter A-Yue are the perfect match in the world!!
Jiang Siyue certainly didn't know what Zhou Shiyan was thinking. She just saw someone's hand reaching out to her secretly, but she didn't stop him or say anything.
On the other side, no one was paying attention. Lu Si'en, a bystander, was stunned by the word "wife" that Zhou Shiyan blurted out.
His eyes widened, and he could hardly believe his ears. It took him a long time to find his voice:
"W-W-Why did you call her old?!?!"
