"Since she's not here, then take her home. You know, a blind woman like her can't beat you and your mother, right?"
"Yes! Shaoxi, this is really a good idea! It's settled! I will discuss it with my mother tonight!" Kang Shaoxi's words were like a wake-up call.
Kang Shaoxi looked at Shen Xinrou, pursed her lips and smiled faintly, and said nothing more.
This meeting with Kang Shaoxi really woke Shen Xinrou up. A word can wake a person up from a dream! This is absolutely true! After separating from Kang Shaoxi, Shen Xinrou drove directly to her own company and went straight to her eldest brother Shen Yimo's office.
When Shen Xinrou arrived, Shen Yimo had just returned from a meeting and was somewhat surprised to see his sister sitting in the office. Ever since he and Mingyao registered their marriage, this sister rarely came to his office.
"Something happened at home?"
"Brother, it's actually nothing serious. I just want to talk to you about my sister-in-law..." Shen Xinrou followed her brother to his boss's desk and sat down.
Shen Yimo couldn't help laughing when he heard what his sister said. He looked up and stared at her in confusion: "Don't you dislike her? Is the sun rising from the west today? I warn you, don't have any ideas about her! If she makes the slightest mistake, be careful that I will not recognize you as my sister!" His wife is very fragile now, and he will not allow her to suffer even the slightest harm.
"Oh, brother! Look at what you are thinking. I just think that you and my sister-in-law have registered their marriage for a year. Although you haven't held a wedding, Sister Yaoyao is still my sister-in-law now. I know that you have decided to be with her in this life..." Upon hearing what her brother said, Shen Xinrou immediately clarified herself.
Shen Yimo raised his hand to interrupt his sister: "Just say it if you have something to say! Don't beat around the bush here! What do you want to talk to me about your sister-in-law?"
Shen Xinrou swallowed her saliva, looked at her elder brother and said tentatively: "I was wondering... Are you really planning to never bring your elder sister-in-law home? You are the president of Shen Group, you don't know the rumors outside, saying that you..."
Shen Yimo waved his hands impatiently: "I am not interested in the rumors outside. What others say is their business! Xinrou, are you coming here today just to tell me these rumors?"
"No! No! I'm here on behalf of our mother to ask you and your sister-in-law, when are you going to... move back home?"
"Move back home?" Shen Yimo frowned slightly and looked at his sister: "Mom asked you to come?"
"Well, you see, you have seldom gone home since you married my eldest sister-in-law. In fact, during this year, Mom has already acquiesced to my eldest sister-in-law. If you continue to be in a stalemate with Mom like this, when will it end? She is our mother, and Mom's health is not very good. You have gone back less often this year, and she is in a bad mood too..." Shen Xinrou lowered her head as she spoke, and her face darkened.
Shen Yimo listened to his sister's words and thought about it for a while. After a while, he nodded: "Okay! Since mom asked us to move back! Let's move back!"
"Really?" Shen Xinrou didn't expect that her brother would agree so readily this time, which surprised her a little.
"Um… "
"That's great! Mom will definitely be very happy to hear this news!"
Shen Yimo looked at his sister's happy expression, his deep eyes moved slightly, and the expression on his face became slightly serious: "Xinrou, you should have heard about Kang Shaoxi's return, right?" The two of them were good friends before, and it was impossible for his sister to not know anything about Kang Shaoxi's return.
Shen Xinrou didn't expect her brother to change the subject so quickly. She was slightly startled and then nodded: "Yes! I didn't expect that she was so lucky to come back alive!"
"Xinrou, I know you and Kang Shaoxi were very good friends before, but today I want to remind you that from now on, try not to have any contact with her!"
"Why?" Shen Xinrou frowned, not understanding what her brother meant.
"She was taken abroad by Fu Zihao a year ago. Don't you think about it? Fu Zihao was shot dead by Shaonan. His father knew that Kang Shaoxi was Kang Shaonan's sister, but he did nothing. If it were someone else, it would be excusable, but Fu Zihao's father is a drug lord. I heard that he is cruel and murderous. Such a cold-blooded gangster will definitely take revenge! But in this year, he did nothing to Kang Shaoxi and let her come back unscathed. Do you think this is possible?"
"But she said she escaped!" There was some truth in what the elder brother said, and Shen Xinrou's heart was slightly moved. Imagine a weak woman, in a foreign country where she was unfamiliar with the people, could come back alive from the hands of a drug lord. It was indeed a bit unreasonable.
"Who is she to you? Do you believe everything she says? You also know about the former Fu Group, right? Let me tell you, that is just the tip of the iceberg of the Fu Group. The financial and power of the Fu family is so huge that it cannot be underestimated, not to mention at home, even abroad! Don't say that Kang Shaoxi doesn't know kung fu. Even if she is a kung fu master, she may not be able to come back alive! Be more careful! The current Kang Shaoxi is no longer the girl you knew before. From now on, don't believe anything she says to you easily!"
"Ah? Really? Big brother, don't scare me!" Shen Xinrou felt a little timid after hearing what her big brother said made some sense.
"We are biological siblings. Do you think I would hurt you? Listen to your elder brother and stay away from her in the future! It will only benefit you and not harm you!"
"But..." Shen Xinrou bit her lip in confusion: "But I see she... is still the same as before!"
"Why are you so stupid? Do I have to tell you what she has become? Xinrou, I don't want you to be dragged down by her, understand?"
"Okay, I understand..." Shen Xinrou nodded.
"That's good! If there's nothing else, go back!"
"Okay!" Shen Xinrou looked at her elder brother thoughtfully, then stood up and walked towards the door. When she was about to leave, Shen Xinrou still looked back at her elder brother Shen Yimo with some disbelief: "Brother, what you just said about Shaoxi... is it true?"
"Whether what I said is true or not, you will understand it all if you think about it carefully when you go back!"
“…” Shen Xinrou pursed her lips and walked out absent-mindedly.
After Kang Shaoxi broke up with Shen Xinrou, she was about to go find George when she received a call from her eldest brother Kang Shaonan. When he said he wanted to meet her alone, she agreed without hesitation. The brother and sister agreed to meet at the square by the sea. When Kang Shaoxi drove there, her eldest brother Kang Shaonan's car also arrived.
"Brother, is there anything that can't be discussed at home?" Kang Shaoxi looked at his elder brother and smiled. He looked calmer and more composed than he was a year ago.
"Shaoxi..." Kang Shaonan looked at his sister thoughtfully, with a little guilt on his face: "You hated your brother this year, right?"
Kang Shaoxi was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at the sea in front of him, squinted his eyes and said in a low voice: "Brother, are you kidding me? Why should I hate you?"
"Brother should go to America to find you, but..."
"Ha! Brother, America is so big, you won't be able to find me even if you go there!" Kang Shaoxi smiled and shook his head.
"Even though I say that, I'm still sorry for you! I know you must have suffered a lot this year, living alone in a foreign country..."
"Brother, stop talking!" Kang Shaoxi interrupted him directly, not wanting to listen any more: "I don't want to recall those past events!"
"Okay! Big brother won't tell me!" Kang Shaonan looked at his sister and pondered for a moment, then asked tentatively, "Shaoxi, what are your plans now?"
Kang Shaoxi looked at the rough sea, a cold light flashed in his eyes. When he turned his head to look at Kang Shaonan, a mischievous smile appeared on his face: "Brother, what else can I plan? Find someone to marry and live a stable life in the future. This is what I want now!"
"That's right! Big brother supports you!" Kang Shaonan nodded, looked at his sister and continued to ask: "Shaoxi, that George is the one you want to marry, right?"
Kang Shaoxi smiled embarrassedly: "Brother, you can see this!"
"You can tell from the way you look at him!" Kang Shaonan replied with a smile.
"When his restaurant opens, I will run it with him. I may be very busy in the future."
"After not seeing you for a year, Shaoxi has grown up!"
"Haha, everyone grows up, right?"
The brother and sister chatted for a while before parting ways. Kang Shaonan drove his SUV away first, and Kang Shaoxi looked at the car going farther and farther away, his big eyes narrowed coldly, and after a disdainful snort, he drove away in his sports car.
Not far from the square, an ordinary black Santana also started up slowly, and disappeared in the traffic along with Kang Shaoxi's car...
As soon as Shen Yimo got off work in the afternoon, he drove to Yu Xiao's tea shop. Since Kang Shaonan came back, Yu Xiao has been coming to the tea shop more often. After parking the car, Shen Yimo walked to the front of the tea shop and saw a clerk moving tea leaves to the sidewalk not far away. Looking at Yu Xiao who was collecting money inside, Shen Yimo smiled and walked in. The two nodded and saw that there were several cups of tea of different shades in front of Mingyao. She was holding one of the cups and tasting it slowly, so he walked over and sat down.
Mingyao put down the teacup in her hand, looked in his direction and smiled slightly: "You're here?"
"Well, how is the store today?" Shen Yimo gently shook his wife's hand.
"Business is good today! Xiaoxiao has been busy until now, and I can't help at all!" Although Mingyao had a faint smile on her face, her loss and helplessness could be felt from her words.
"Don't worry! When your eyes are better, you will be busy again!" Shen Yimo has always had absolute confidence and hope in his wife's eyes. (To be continued)
