Five years after being dumped, President Jiang became increasingly entangled in...

Cen Nian and Cen Hui came in together and were both taken aback when they saw Xu Chaoxi at home.

"Xu Chaoxi? What are you doing here so early in the morning?" Cen Hui almost screamed, her voice accusing, "Who let you come?"

Xu Chaoxi isn't at work today, so instead of staying at home, she's come here on purpose. She must have some kind of seductive trick up her sleeve!

Seeing Xu Chaoxi's face made her grit her teeth in hatred. All she knew was to play the victim and try to win men's favor! What a slut!

Cen Nian stopped her with a look, then gently smoothed things over: "Secretary Xu must be here for work. She performs well at work, unlike you, who is always half-hearted."

She pretended to scold Cen Hui, saying, "Instead of questioning others, you should learn from Secretary Xu. If you were even half as good as her, I wouldn't have to worry about this."

Then, she said apologetically to Xu Chaoxi, "I'm sorry, Secretary Xu, I've spoiled my younger sister, and she doesn't know how to speak properly."

Hearing these words, Xu Chaoxi felt guilty and uncomfortable.

Cen Hui gave a disgruntled snort.

"Alright, what are you doing here at this time?" Jiang Jingsi finally spoke up, breaking the current stalemate.

"I'm here to apologize," Cen Nian said apologetically. "I sent that voice message to Huihui last night, but I didn't mean to send it to you by mistake."

Cen Hui pouted unhappily: "Sister, why are you being so formal? Brother-in-law doesn't mind, and it's Xu Chaoxi's private matter. I didn't say anything wrong. I did see her and a man chatting and laughing in the hospital. The photos are real."

She went to the hospital that day to see a doctor about her irregular menstruation, and happened to see Xu Chaoxi with a man. She took a picture on a whim and sent it to Cen Nian. She chatted with Cen Nian for a bit, but unexpectedly, Cen Nian not only scolded her but also made her apologize to Xu Chaoxi.

Why should she apologize? She didn't say anything wrong.

She's having affairs with other men while simultaneously trying to seduce her brother-in-law. This kind of woman is disgusting! I really don't know how my sister can be so magnanimous. If it were her, she would definitely make her brother-in-law kick her out. So what if she's capable and efficient? There are plenty of capable people out there. Just post a job ad and countless people will apply. Isn't keeping a woman like that around a potential threat?

Xu Chaoxi suddenly realized that the photo was taken by Cen Hui.

She was very glad that Yi Yi wasn't in the photo. If Yi Yi had been photographed, Jiang Jingsi would definitely have found something out.

"You knew it was someone's privacy, yet you still took photos of them without their consent? That's incredibly impolite. I apologize to your brother-in-law, and you also need to apologize to Secretary Xu. Since Secretary Xu is here, you can apologize to her directly."

Cen Hui looked unwilling: "Why should I apologize? I won't."

Cen Nian clicked her tongue and was about to say something when Xu Chaoxi spoke up, "Miss Cen, this is nothing serious, there's no need to apologize."

She has helped me out of so many predicaments, so why should I dwell on such a trivial matter?

Upon hearing this, Cen Nian turned and glanced at Cen Hui: "Look at her, and then look at yourself. You're prejudiced against her."

Hearing Cen Nian, her own sister, so protective of an outsider, Cen Hui became even angrier: "Why should I compare myself to her? Whose sister are you? You're my sister, why aren't you speaking up for me?"

Before Cen Nian could say anything more, Jiang Jingsi finally spoke up to stop her: "That's enough."

The huge living room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

He looked up at Cen Hui.

When a sharp gaze fell upon her, Cen Hui shrank back and instinctively hid behind Cen Nian.

That look is terrifying.

Although Jiang Jingsi is usually very serious and has a stern expression, he has never had such a terrifying look in his eyes before.

He seems angry.

"I remember giving you a talking-to last time, telling you to focus on your work and improve your efficiency, instead of constantly thinking about creating unnecessary trouble. Deng Xiao has told me many times that your work efficiency is extremely low. He finds reviewing your work more difficult than doing his own job. As a secretary, don't you feel ashamed?"

No one present expected that Jiang Jingsi would suddenly speak up, and speak so bluntly, showing no respect for Cen Huiliu whatsoever.

Cen Hui was shocked that he spoke so directly, especially in front of her sister and Xu Chaoxi, whom she disliked the most. She immediately felt embarrassed, and her eyes instantly turned red.

Cen Nian glanced at Cen Hui subconsciously and saw that her eyes were red. The words of reproach were on the tip of her tongue, but she couldn't say them.

After all, she was his younger sister whom he had doted on since childhood, so he rarely spoke harshly to her.

"I'm sorry, Jing Si, I didn't expect Hui Hui to cause you so much trouble. I apologize on her behalf."

Hearing Cen Nian's apology, he felt a pang of self-reproach.

I never expected Deng Xiao to be such a tattletale! If I had known he was such a gossip for a man, I would have given him a good warning.

And then there's Xu Chaoxi. She must have spoken ill of herself to her brother-in-law. Now, in front of him, she's pretending to be generous and gentle. How hypocritical! Her brother-in-law can't even see through her tricks.

"We're all adults now, we should know what we should do, we can't always be protected by others for the rest of our lives."

Although his words were not loud, they struck Cen Hui's heart heavily, filling her eyes with grievance. Reluctantly, she said, "I understand."

"If there's nothing else, Huihui and I will be leaving now. Jing Si, let's discuss it in a few days, have our parents meet, and finalize the engagement arrangements."

After saying that, Cen Nian pulled Cen Hui away.

As soon as she got in the car, Cen Hui said aggrievedly, "Sister, why didn't you help me? Deng Xiao actually complained about me, and you saw how hypocritical Xu Chaoxi was just now..."

"Shut up!" Cen Nian finally snapped, unable to bear it any longer. "Aren't you embarrassed enough already?"

She rarely spoke so harshly, but this time Cen Hui was truly incredibly stupid.

Although it was just a small matter, Cen Nian not only lost face because of her, but was also implicated. She was too embarrassed to say a few more words to Jiang Jingsi.

She always thought that Cen Hui was too young to be taught too much about scheming and intrigue, which would not be a good thing for her, so she didn't tell her many things. She never expected that Cen Hui would do something stupid with bad intentions.

Cen Nian rubbed her temples, her voice sounding weak: "Huihui, people have to grow up eventually. You can't stay this naive forever. Since you volunteered to go to the company, you should remember your duty and do your job well. Your brother-in-law is right. Since you're at the company, do your job well and don't just think about how to make things difficult for Xu Chaoxi all day long."

After she finished speaking, she paused, "I don't want this to happen again. If it does, you shouldn't stay at JT anymore. Go back to your home country and study hard."

This was essentially an ultimatum, which deeply saddened Cen Hui, who choked back tears as she asked, "Sister, am I really that much of an eyesore to you?"
