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

"It was just a casual suspicion, I didn't say anything." Jiang Jin simply shrugged, looking indifferent.

He then deliberately asked, "But why are you taking Xu Chaoxi's side? How do you know for sure that it's not Xu Chaoxi's child?"

Cui Xingye frowned: "You have a prejudice against her."

"Shouldn't I be prejudiced against her?"

Cui Xingye pursed his lips: "Jiang Jin, could you...?"

"cannot."

Jiang Jin knew what he wanted to say.

He had no obligation to give Xu Chaoxi a friendly look.

Cui Xingye was too lazy to speak. He turned his face away to calm down before asking Jiang Jingsi, "Your cheap younger brother is coming back tomorrow. What are your plans?"

"What?" Jiang Jin jumped up. "He's coming back? Didn't your biased father say he'd never let him come back? Why is he letting him back now?"

Jiang Jingsi gave him a meaningful look, a faint smile playing on his lips: "If we don't let him come back, how can we let him make a mistake?"

If you don't give him a chance, why would he dig his own hole and jump in?

Jiang Jin frowned, and after a while, he plopped down and said, "I don't understand your seduction and infighting."

His brother manages the family business, so he doesn't need to do those things. He might as well just stay at the hospital and be a doctor.

Cui Xingye didn't even look up: "You're a pampered young master who grew up in the family, so of course you don't need to do these things, and you won't be bothered by them."

"Hey, what do you mean by that? That's sarcastic." Jiang Jin said, dissatisfied.

"Alright." Jiang Jingsi rubbed his temples and softened his tone, "Jiang Jin, reserve a table for tonight. Aye and I will go over after work."

Jiang Jin reluctantly agreed, snorted coldly, and left the office.

After he left, Jiang Jingsi finally spoke up to comfort him: "He wasn't targeting you."

"I know." How could Cui Xingye not see it?

"He's just an immature kid, how can I hold a grudge against him?" He didn't take Jiang Jin's words to heart.

What Cui Xingye was worried about was Jiang Linchuan.

"Qiu Wenping must have gone to great lengths and caused quite a stir to get him back, right?"

"No, I'm the one who asked him to come back," Jiang Jingsi said calmly. "I didn't make things difficult for Jiang Zhengsong."

Cui Xingye hummed in agreement. "You have your own plans."

Jiang Zhengsong was in a dilemma, which meant that he also wanted Jiang Linchuan to come back. In that case, why didn't he do him a favor?

Anyway, Jiang Linchuan should be coming back soon; he won't stay abroad peacefully forever.

Cui Xingye knew everything about his family.

"How's the matter I asked you to investigate last time?"

"We checked, and Xu Chaoxi was indeed kidnapped that night."

"Hijacking?" Jiang Jingsi frowned.

"Yeah, that guy's a drunkard, he's had too much to drink." Cui Xingye glanced at him.

"You're also someone who's all talk and no action."

Jiang Jingsi remained expressionless, showing no agreement with his words.

-

restaurant.

"I chose this place specifically. The food here is pretty good. Si-ge, you have a sensitive stomach, so you definitely need to eat well." Jiang Jin, like a mother hen, dutifully reminded Jiang Jingsi.

Cui Xingye sat to one side, looking at Jiang Jingsi's slightly helpless expression, and wanted to laugh.

This was the first time I'd ever seen Jiang Jingsi look so defeated.

Halfway through his meal, Jiang Jin glanced outside and spotted a familiar face.

His eyes narrowed.

The next second, a familiar voice reached the ears of the three of them.

Cui Xingye subconsciously looked at Jiang Jingsi next to him.

It was Xu Chaoxi's voice.

Jiang Jingsi heard it too, but his face remained unusually calm.

"What's wrong? Keep eating."

His nonchalant attitude made Cui Xingye somewhat uncertain: "Jing Si, that table in the back, it seems to be..."

There were only three of them, so Jiang Jin didn't choose a private room. Unexpectedly, he ran into Xu Chaoxi.

Moreover, she didn't come alone; she came with a man.

She's really thick-skinned; her mother is about to have surgery, and she's still spending all her time having romantic relationships with men.

Just as Jiang Jin was thinking this, he heard laughter and cheerful chatter coming from the table behind him.

Jiang Jin secretly glanced at Jiang Jingsi. His face was expressionless, but his eyes had darkened.

The next moment, with a "whoosh," Jiang Jingsi stood up.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the two, Jiang Jingsi walked towards the table behind him.

Xu Chaoxi never expected Jiang Jingsi to appear here, let alone that he would sit so casually next to her.

This sudden action interrupted their conversation. Song Yuqian's expression changed slightly as he looked at Xu Chaoxi with a puzzled expression: "Who is he...?"

"Let me introduce him, he's my boss." As if worried he might say something inappropriate, Xu Chaoxi quickly said this and then gave Jiang Jingsi a meaningful look.

Jiang Jingsi ignored him and calmly extended his hand: "Hello, Jiang Jingsi."

"Hello." Song Yuqian was somewhat flattered, especially after hearing him say the name, his eyes were filled with even more surprise.

He works in the construction industry, and Jiang Jingsi's company is already considered top-tier in their circle.

President Jiang, who controls the economic lifeline of the entire Haicheng, is sitting right across from me.

Thinking this, Song Yuqian's smile became more obsequious.

Jiang Jingsi took in Xu Chaoxi's reaction, a hint of contempt flashing across his face, and brazenly put his arm around Xu Chaoxi's waist.

This sudden movement made Xu Chaoxi freeze abruptly. She subconsciously looked at him, signaling with her eyes for him to relax.

He pretended not to see it, but his hand remained wrapped around her waist, not loosening his grip even slightly.

This behavior caught Song Yuqian's attention, prompting him to ask, "You guys...?"

"It's not what you think. I...we're just in a superior-subordinate relationship," Xu Chaoxi explained, forcing a smile.

Such an explanation was too weak; not only did Song Yuqian not believe it, but she herself did not believe it either.

"She's right, I am her boss, but the word 'sugar daddy' would be more accurate."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the other two changed.

Song Yuqian's gaze became complicated, and his look at Xu Chaoxi was unspeakably meaningful.

This statement wasn't explicit, but anyone with a discerning eye knew what it meant.

"It's just like you think. She slept with me, and I gave her money. That's the kind of boss-employee relationship you'd expect." Jiang Jingsi deliberately emphasized the words "boss-employee."

Xu Chaoxi's face turned pale instantly. She looked at his profile with disbelief and embarrassment, her lower lip already bitten until it turned white.

Song Yuqian opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't say anything.

"Um, I suddenly remembered I have something to do, you guys talk."

After saying that, Song Yuqian fled from the awkward place as if he were escaping.

As soon as Song Yuqian left, his hand loosened.

He took a tissue and meticulously wiped his knuckles, scrubbing every detail as if he had touched something unclean.
