A secret tryst? Her brotherly love triangle backfired.

Chapter 150 "They all say they like me."

The car stopped.

Jiang Yanzhi glanced at the cars near the villa and asked, "Are there guests at home?"

As he spoke, as if remembering something, he turned his head to look over, "Shen Zhixing?"

“Yes,” Tang Wanwan said, “He’s going back to the capital tomorrow, and my dad is throwing him a farewell banquet.”

Jiang Yanzhi's jaw tightened, and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.

A man who has feelings for her can openly and legitimately enter her home, while he, her rightful boyfriend, can only see her to the door.

He wanted to ask her when she would allow him to visit her parents as her boyfriend.

Tang Wanwan had been arguing with him for so long that she was dizzy and didn't want to talk to him anymore.

He opened the car door and got out without looking back.

It was lunchtime.

The restaurant was bustling with activity; as soon as she entered, everyone inside looked at her.

Shen Zhixing's gaze fell on her face.

The knuckles of his fingers tightened unconsciously as he gripped the wine glass.

She cried.

Mr. and Mrs. Tang were sitting at the head of the table entertaining guests. When they saw their daughter come in, they smiled and waved, "We thought you went out to play with your friends. Come on, go wash your hands and come eat."

The large round table, which is only used for grand banquets, is filled with delicacies.

There weren't many guests; including Shen Zhixing, there were only five or six people. The dining table was large, so it wasn't crowded. The chairs were all ready-made, so there was no need to make room.

Tang Wanwan agreed, turned around to wash her hands, and after seeing her slightly red eyes in the mirror, she washed her face as well.

After coming out, she sat down next to Tang's mother, with Shen Zhixing to her left.

Since it is a banquet, there is no rule against talking while eating.

The people present were all uncles and elders who were very close to the Tang family, and of course they had met Tang Wanwan before.

She was in poor health before, and looked sickly.

When we met again this time, he seemed completely refreshed and full of energy.

Vibrant with life, stunningly beautiful.

Someone glanced at Tang Wanwan, praised her a couple of times, then looked at Shen Zhixing and said with a smile, "It won't be long before we can enjoy your nephew and Wanwan's wedding feast."

Everyone in the industry knows about the relationship between Shen Xianyu and Tang Wanwan.

Some people had previously remarked that the Shen family might not accept a sickly daughter-in-law.

Now, even my health has improved.

The marriage is practically a done deal.

However, Shen Zhixing merely twitched his lips and said, "They've already broken up, so there's no rush for the wedding banquet."

Tang Wanwan: "..."

A moment of silence fell over the dining table.

Mr. Tang smiled and smoothed things over, saying, "The two children are still young, and you can't predict matters of the heart. As long as the children are happy, that's all that matters."

He only had this one daughter, whom he doted on like a precious jewel since she was little, never expecting her to marry into a wealthy or powerful family.

No matter how prestigious the Shen family is, as long as his daughter is unwilling, the marriage will not be a regret.

The others at the table echoed in agreement.

Regardless, Shen Zhixing is currently a guest at the Tang family's house.

This indicates that the relationship between the two companies has not been affected.

that's enough.

The lively atmosphere at the dinner table returned.

As the guest of honor at the farewell banquet, Shen Zhixing was toasted repeatedly.

The people present were all good friends. He had a very good temper and never refused a toast offered to him. He drank several glasses of wine in a row.

Tang Wanwan couldn't respond, and it wasn't her turn to offer a toast.

After briefly greeting the guests, I started eating.

He secretly thought to himself that this person was indeed incredibly generous.

This is all baijiu (Chinese liquor).

After a few mouthfuls of rice, a peeled shrimp suddenly appeared on the plate.

Shen Zhixing said, "I've seen you staring at it for several times. Are you unwilling to peel it but want to taste it?"

Tang Wanwan: "..." She looked up and glanced around.

Fortunately, after the round of toasts ended, the other people at the table were no longer paying attention to this.

So, she didn't notice the shrimp that her 'little uncle' had peeled himself.

Seeing her peeking around, looking like a timid thief, Shen Zhixing's lips curled into a smile: "Is one enough?"

"That's enough!" Tang Wanwan replied quickly, then picked up the shrimp and stuffed it into her mouth.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw him still peeling, and I wanted to stop him.

Shen Zhixing smiled and said, "Good things come in pairs."

After peeling the second shrimp, he took a tissue and stopped serving.

While Tang's mother was talking beside them, she noticed him wiping his fingers but didn't think much of it.

But when I looked down and saw the shrimp in my daughter's bowl with its shell completely peeled off, I was instantly shocked.

Tang Wanwan felt extremely uncomfortable, as if the person next to her was afraid that others wouldn't see through her thoughts.

He quickly ate a bowl of rice, then excused himself and left the table.

She returned to her room and began packing her luggage for the trip to Beijing.

My phone keeps getting messages.

She didn't have time to look.

Until there was a knock on the door.

Tang's mother came in and helped her daughter pack her luggage.

The mother and daughter chatted for a long time.

Apartments near University A are in high demand; it's impossible to find a seller if you want to buy one on short notice.

As parents, they are also worried about their precious daughter living alone.

If I don't stay at Jiang Yanzhi's place when I go to Beijing this time, I'll have to stay in the school dormitory.

Tang Wanwan has decided to live on campus.

After discussing the accommodation issue, Tang's mother asked about her daughter's recent relationship status.

Her health has visibly improved, but no matter how she looks at it...

Her daughter's love life is such a mess.

Tang Wanwan was also very troubled.

She stopped what she was doing, looked at her mother, and said with distress, "They all say they like me."

Tang's mother: "...Them?"

The mother and daughter were always close, and Tang Wanwan had no reservations about even that bizarre dream. Now, she told them everything that had happened in the past few days without even thinking.

They didn't even hide what Shen Zhixing had said.

Tang's mother listened quietly, her usually dignified and composed demeanor showing signs of breaking down.

"Mom?" Tang Wanwan regarded her mother as her life mentor. Whenever she encountered something she didn't understand, her mother was always her guide. Now, she finished speaking in a hurry, but did not receive an immediate response, so she couldn't help but look over.

But then she saw her mother looking at her with a complicated expression.

Tang Wanwan blinked. "What's wrong?"

"...It's alright," Tang's mother sighed softly, "Xianyu has really suffered a lot."

Of these people, Tang's mother only ever considered Shen Xianyu as her son-in-law.

I couldn't help but feel a little worried for the other party.

As for Shen Zhixing?
The eldest son is in love with his nephew's girlfriend.

No matter how deep the emotional wound, it's all self-inflicted.

Tang's mother said, "When I saw him peeling shrimp for you at the dinner table, I thought I was just being paranoid. I never expected that he would actually have designs on you."

Tang Wanwan blushed. "Don't you think he has ulterior motives, is morally corrupt, and disrespectful to his elders?"

Disrespectful to elders…

Tang's mother calculated their ages, and her lips twitched involuntarily. "They're not that old. Your father is eight years older than me."

If Shen Zhixing is disrespectful to her elders, then her father is even more disrespectful.

How can this work?

Tang Wanwan, who had a good relationship with her father, immediately took back her words, "Then I was wrong. Shen Zhixing did not act disrespectfully as an elder."
