From the moment Cheng Xianzhi walked in, Li Qian's eyes never left him.

"Brother Xianzhi."

Li Qian curved her lips, her eyes full of love and a bit of coquettishness.

She had waited for a long time to meet Cheng Xianzhi again.

Cheng Xianzhi crossed his long legs and leaned against the back of the sofa, his fingers occasionally tapping on his legs.

She nodded slightly, her tone becoming more polite and distant, "Ms. Li."

"Brother Xianzhi, do you still remember when Aunt Yaoqin brought you to my house when you were little? At that time, you..."

Cheng Xianzhi interrupted: "Sorry, Miss Li, I have no memory of my childhood."

The smile on Li Qian's face slowly faded, and her eyes fell on Cheng Xianzhi's other hand.

The hand has been on Xu Wei's waist since they entered the room. The two of them were very close and looked very intimate.

The light in Li Qian's eyes dimmed, and she felt an indescribable bitterness in her heart.

Not long after she returned to China, she heard from her father that Cheng Xianzhi had married the stepdaughter of the Lu family.

I heard that the stepdaughter is good-looking, but her reputation is not very good. She gave up her job as a lady and chose to go into the entertainment industry. Now she is in trouble and is forced to come back for marriage.

Noticing that Li Qian's eyes were looking over her without concealment, Xu Wei was not to be outdone and smiled at Li Qian, "Miss Li seems to be very curious about me."

There was a hint of sarcasm in Li Qian's words. "After I came back, I heard that Brother Xianzhi got married, so I was very curious and wanted to see what kind of woman he married, so I looked at Miss Yu a few more times."

Envy's brother.

Miss Yu.

"Then what kind of person do you think I am, Miss Li?" Xu Wei looked at Li Qian with a smile.

Li Qian smiled: "Miss Yu is different from what I imagined."

The legendary words of bad temper, pretentiousness, and arrogance did not apply to the person in front of her at all. Li Qian felt a little unwilling. If she had come back earlier, she would have been the one to marry Cheng Xianzhi.

Lai Shuqing was enjoying the fun, "Qianqian went abroad early in the morning and doesn't have many friends in China. Xiaoyue, I think you two can get along well. Take Qianqian out for a walk when you have time."

Xu Wei: “…”

nerve.

They only said two sentences in total. How could I tell that they were chatting?

Cheng Xianzhi didn't give Li Shuqing any face and directly refused on behalf of Xu Wei, "Xiao Yue has her own work, I'm afraid she doesn't have time to take Miss Li shopping."

Li Shuqing and Li Qian's expressions froze on their faces, and Cheng Fangyan, who was sitting opposite them, also had a dark face because of Cheng Xianzhi's words.

With outsiders present, it was inconvenient to scold his son, so Cheng Fangyan could only vent his anger on Xu Wei.

He said in a deep voice: "I don't care what you were like in the Lu family before. Since you are already the daughter-in-law of our Cheng family, you should pay more attention to your influence when you go out. Look at the uproar that happened two days ago. What a disgrace!"

Li Shuqing and Li Qian were outsiders to Cheng Xianzhi after all, but Cheng Fangyan's legs were broken and his tendons were still attached. Xu Wei curled her hands slightly on her legs.

The man lowered his eyes slightly and caught a glimpse of the scene.

A man's light laughter suddenly rang out from the quiet living room.

Short, but full of irony.

He said, "Don't you feel embarrassed when you say this?"

Cheng Fangyan had an affair with Lai Shuqing during his marriage and gave birth to an illegitimate child. He allowed Lai Shuqing to bring her five-year-old child to the Cheng family to force him to abdicate. His mother decisively divorced him, took away the share that belonged to her, and left the country.

This matter caused a sensation in the capital at the time. All the major families knew about it, but due to the Cheng family's face, they only dared to discuss it in private.

Cheng Fangyan was humiliated by Cheng Xianzhi again, in front of outsiders.

His face flushed, and he used his voice to cover up his embarrassment at the moment, "Cheng Xianzhi, you are really..."

"boom--"

There was a sudden roar of a sports car outside the house, and Xu Wei did not hear clearly what Cheng Fangyan said.

However, Cheng Xianzhi tightened his grip around her waist.

Xu Wei hesitated for a moment, placed her palm on the back of his hand, tilted her head slightly, and their eyes met.

This scene was so dazzling in Li Qian's eyes that she almost bit her lower lip to bleed.

"Yo——" A nonchalant voice came from far away outside, Cheng Wangzhi flicked the car key with his index finger, "There are quite a lot of people here today."

Li Shuqing's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly stood up to greet him, "Son!"

Seeing Cheng Wangzhi coming back, Cheng Fangyan's expression softened a little, and the tone and expression of his speech were different from before when he was with Cheng Xianzhi.

They are all sons, but Cheng Fangyan treats them so obviously differently.

Xu Wei looked at Cheng Xianzhi cautiously.

The man remained calm and expression unperturbed.

"This must be my sister-in-law."

Cheng Wangzhi turned his gaze to Xu Wei, with obvious ill intentions, "Tsk, sister-in-law is a celebrity, and several good friends around me know that to celebrate your marriage, I sent you a gift two days ago. I wonder if sister-in-law received it?"

Xu Wei frowned slightly.

congratulations?

This second-generation rich guy is so kind.

It was not until she saw the mocking smile on the corner of his mouth that Xu Wei finally realized that the second-generation rich might have had a hand in the incident between Chen Xinyi and Zhou Min.

Xu Wei showed a motherly smile, but she gritted her teeth and said, "I got it. I really want to thank my brother."

"If my brother could focus on his studies, he would have gotten his diploma a long time ago," Cheng Xianzhi said sarcastically.

Cheng Wangzhi: “…”

As if he knew Cheng Xianzhi would bring up this matter, he took out a crumpled piece of paper from somewhere and said, "Dad, I came back this time just to talk to you about this."

Cheng Fangyan unfolds.

It is a degree certificate from a foreign university.

"Hahahaha, okay! Okay!"

Cheng Fangyan laughed loudly and said several good words, "You are worthy of being my son, Cheng Fangyan."

Cheng Wangzhi sat on the armrest of Cheng Fangyan's sofa, swinging his feet, and looked at Cheng Xianzhi with a provocative look, "I've said I won't let you down. Dad, I also want to join the company and share the burden for you like my brother."

Cheng Fangyan thought for a moment and said, "I'm glad you have this intention. I'll arrange a position for you in a couple of days. Go in and study hard."

Cheng Wangzhi happily boasted to Cheng Fangyan, "If that professor hadn't deliberately made things difficult for me last year, I would have been able to..."

Xu Wei lowered her head, curled her lips, and held back her laughter.

He leaned close to Cheng Xianzhi's ear and murmured, "It's over, Cheng Xianzhi. You'll have to spend time cleaning up the mess for the second-generation rich in the future. I'm tired for you."

Cheng Xianzhi's brows relaxed and his facial features became softer.

His chest shook slightly, and a low laugh of pleasure came from his throat. He imitated her and said, "He doesn't deserve my help."

The hot air he exhaled made Xu Wei feel slightly itchy. She shrank her shoulders reflexively, and her tone unconsciously carried some grievance, "Then you help me deal with him. He just bullied me."

Both sides were chatting enthusiastically, and Li Qian, who had completely become a background figure, said: "......"
