Sweet Chief Secretary

Chapter 490 We Will Pay to Get Those Things Back
“What can I say? You really have a big mouth.” Shen Qiang pointed to Xiao Shuang with his finger. Just now, he was still testing his second brother’s reaction on purpose to see if he really had broken up with Xia Yu.

As a result, Shen Yan stared at him as if he was killing him. He was trying to explain to his second brother when the little girl made trouble for him. He did push himself directly into a pitfall by himself, didn’t he?

“I didn’t know about your relationship, but I just felt that you looked like a good match.” Xiao Shuang also knew that she made a mistake, so she laughed apologetically and explained to Shen Qiang on the side.

“If you don’t know, you can ask. But you shouldn’t have guessed at random. You don’t know my second brother. He is famous for being narrow-minded, and he likes to be jealous most.” Shen Qiang stared at Xiao Shuang angrily and said, “Anyway, you should go and explain to my second brother.”

“Who is narrow-minded?” Shen Qiang was just talking with Xiao Shuang when Shen Yan opened the door.

After taking a bath and coming out, he had shaved the beard on his face, looking cleaner. While wiping the wet hair, he walked to Xia Yu. Then the corners of his mouth were raised, and Xia Yu’s mouth was suddenly kissed by him gently.

How could he do this? Xia Yu took two steps back unconsciously. She kept away from him and felt that her face was hot.

Shen Qiang walked up to his second brother with a smile. He whispered in his ear and asked, “Brother, haven’t you broken up?”

“From whom did you hear the bullshit?” Shen Yan gave Shen Qiang a gloomy look and denied it.

It turned out that this was the bullshit. He had intended to be a peacemaker for the two of them and reconcile them. It seemed that he got it wrong.

After dinner, Shen Qiang disappeared automatically. Shen Yan took Xia Yu out for a stroll. It was very quiet, and the temperature was a little low in the countryside at night. When the wind blew over, it was a little cold. So, after going downstairs, Shen Yan put a coat on Xia Yu.

“It’s beautiful here.” Xia Yu exclaimed.

Shen Yan had a light smile on his lips, and his eyes had been staring at Xia Yu. It seemed that all his mind and concentration were just on her. No matter how beautiful the scenery was, it couldn’t draw his eyesight away.

His eyes were so gentle as water that the heart of Xia Yu was almost melted. Xia Yu couldn’t help wanting to kiss him, but she was too shy to do that as there were also some people around who came home late.

“In fact, you really don’t need to come here.” Xia Yu didn’t know what tricks Shen Mo and his people would play secretly when Shen Yan came here this time. But she was sure that they would get in trouble.

“Don’t worry. I’ve arranged everything.” Shen Yan held Xia Yu’s hand and kissed her forehead. No matter how important the company’s business was, it could not be as important as Xia Yu.

Although Shen Qiang came here with her, they were still too weak, after all. Shen Yan could not put his girlfriend and his brother in danger and leave them alone for the sake of the company.

Xia Yu had no blame for Shen Yan’s intimate move. She didn’t even know if she wanted to be separated from Shen Yan. At that time, she just felt that she didn’t want to be reported by those reporters all day long so as to provide some bored people with topics of conversation at their leisure.

Originally, she wanted to separate with him to calm down. She didn’t anticipate that Shen Yan did not cooperate at all but just did things at his will. And she appeared to be very unreasonable. So, she simply gave up.

Thinking about it carefully, it was those people who did so many things to make them separate. If they really separated, they would just satisfy those people’s intentions, wouldn’t they? When they got to a secluded place where there was no one around, Xia Yu stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the face at once.

Shen Yan’s eyes became bright, and the smile on his lips was even bigger. He raised his slender hand with a fingertip pointing at his lips. “Kiss here!” The deep and mellow voice bewitched Xia Yu’s heart through the eardrums.

Xia Yu stood on tiptoe again and touched his lips. They were soft, and the tip of her tongue felt a faint taste of mint. The toothpaste he used was fresh mint.

At the end of the kiss, Xia Yu was still gasping in his arms. He hugged Xia Yu’s waist and showed a satisfied expression on his face. It seemed that it was right for him to come here today.

After strolling for a while again, they went back. At this time, Xia Yu’s cell phone rang, and it was a strange phone number after she took it out and had a look. Her eyebrows frowned, and she looked at it, but she still answered it.

“Hello, are you Miss Xia? I’m Aunt Jiang’s son. I have heard that you are looking for me. What’s the matter?” Aunt Jiang’s son just came back. When he heard from the guard that Xia Yu was looking for him and left a phone number, he called her and asked.

He finally came back, and Xia Yu was very excited to hear this. When she found him, she could get the things left by Aunt Jiang. “I’m from S city. I went to the sanatorium to see your mother the other day and heard from the leader here that Aunt Jiang’s things were kept by you?”

Aunt Jiang was sent to the sanatorium after she got sick. And those things were found by Shen Yan’s mother when she was cleaning up Ningjing’s house. After asking someone to pack up the things, she wanted to give them directly to Aunt Jiang’s son, but no one answered the phone after she made a call several times.

At that time, Aunt Jiang’s son was not out of touch. He was afraid that the Shen Family would let them pay a part of the medical expenses. Concerning the situation in their family, even if they just needed to pay half of the medical expenses, it would be still unaffordable, so he deliberately refused to answer the phone.

Second Madame couldn’t contact him, so she had no choice but to send the things to the sanatorium. After all, they were Aunt Jiang’s things. If she recovered, they could still use them. But Aunt Jiang hadn’t recovered for a long time. Her son still secretly went to see her twice even though he really didn’t want to pay the medical expenses. After all, Aunt Jiang was his mother. The leader of the sanatorium gave them back to him at that time.

“Those things belong to my mother, and I should take them back. You said that my mother’s disease could be cured, didn’t you? Why did you mention those things?” Aunt Jiang’s son heard from the guard that Xia Yu came here to help her mother cure the disease, so he took the initiative to make a phone call. If it was about the stuff, he would not talk about it.

“Well, this is the case. A famous psychiatrist thinks that Aunt Jiang’s disease can be cured, so he asked me to come here to contact you and ask about your opinions. As for your mother’s things, I don’t want them. But when the Shen Family was cleaning up those things, they gave you another person’s things together. Now the person wants to get his things back, so he asked me to ask you.” Xia Yu explained to him patiently.

There were another person’s things. Aunt Jiang’s son understood it. He had seen those things. Besides his mother’s clothes, there were several gold beads. His mother was an old servant. How could she have these things? At that time, he felt strange.

Those gold beads must be valuable. It had been so many years, so there was no reason to return those things back to them. So, Aunt Jiang’s son refused immediately. “Why should I trust you? You can say whatever you want since my mother is suffering such a serious disease now.”

His underlying meaning was that he didn’t want to return the stuff, or he must get some benefits at least even if he gave the stuff to them. Xia Yu understood it. “Brother Jiang, those things are also given by a friend of my friend. It’s a souvenir. You can ask for a price, and I will satisfy you.”

Xia Yu didn’t know what the stuff was, so she had to lie.

It was OK for them to buy the stuff back. Aunt Jiang’s son didn’t decline with all kinds of excuses anymore but said, “When I got back my mother’s things, I just found some clothes and some beads. The clothes must belong to my mother. If the beads are yours, you can come here tomorrow to get them, but you have to give me 100000 yuan.”

“No problem. I’ll see you tomorrow.” Xia Yu agreed straightforwardly.

Aunt Jiang’s son regretted in his mind that he didn’t ask for more money since Xia Yu agreed so straightforwardly. But on second thought, the gold beads were not worth so much.

She just said that it was a souvenir that her friend had given her. If he really asked too much and scared her, he might not be able to get so much money. Thinking about it, he was relieved. He started to sing in a low voice with a good mood.

Someone paid for the treatment of his mother’s illness. If it went smoothly, his family could get reunited. He also made a small fortune, and he could not be unhappy, could he?

“He asked you for money?” When Xia Yu put the phone down, Shen Yan asked.

“Yes! He said that he was not sure if those things were ours, so he would not let us cheat him in case he suffered a loss.” Xia Yu smiled and said, “Forget it. Anyway, he didn’t ask for too much, so just give it to him.”

It had been too long. Xia Yu just wanted to solve the problem as soon as possible.

Shen Yan thought so as well, so he didn’t ask again. They went back to the farmhouse together. Shen Qiang just stretched out his head and waved to his second brother when seeing them come back.

“Just take a rest. Tomorrow morning, we’ll go to find Aunt Jiang’s son together.” Shen Yan kissed Xia Yu on the forehead.

“Well, don’t sleep too late.” Xia Yu said good night to Shen Yan and then went into the room.

Shen Yan went directly to Shen Qiang’s room. “What’s the matter?”

“I just received a call from the factory, saying that Aunt Jiang’s son was back.” Shen Qiang lay on his stomach in bed and said to Shen Yan.

“We’ve already heard about it. Just now, Aunt Jiang’s son asked Xia Yu for 100000 yuan. If we don’t give the money to him, he won’t give the stuff back.” Shen Yan shook his head and sat down on the chair beside the bed.

“So greedy?” Shen Qiang also shook his head. “Just forget it. Let him go. Let’s talk about Cai Yanyan. That woman went really too far. At first, she put a recording pen in the bathroom to scare my sister, and then she put a skinned kitten at the door of her room.”

“Are you sure it’s her?” Shen Yan took on a ghastly expression.

“I’m 99 percent sure. Although her face was not seen at that time, I have given the video to the expert for identification. That woman’s figure is exactly the same as Cai Yanyan’s figure.” Shen Qiang said definitely, “Brother, do you think she is working for our big brother or for Li Tianci?”

“Either of them is possible. Our big brother thinks that he killed Ningjing, and he is afraid that once Aunt Jiang recovers, she will say something bad for him. And Li Tianci is even guiltier, and he does not want Aunt Jiang to recover as well. Both of them know Cai Yanyan and may take advantage of her. However, I think Li Tianci is more likely to do that. Since Cai Yanyan entered the entertainment circle, she has been close to Zeng Mina. After Zeng Mina had an accident, she went to see Zeng Mina more than once. Zhou Jiamin has a lot of interpersonal connections in the entertainment circle. I think it’s more reasonable for her to give Cai Yanyan some benefits and let her cooperate with them.”

Shen Yan knew Cai Yanyan so well. She liked to compare unrealistically and was eager for quick success and instant benefits. When she saw Li Feiran and Fang Feifei both get promoted at Tengfei before, she became jealous, thinking that it was easy to make money in the entertainment circle. But after she got into it, she found it was too complicated.

It was too hard for her to gain a firm foothold there. Concerning her personality, it was very normal for her to go and seek refuge with Zhou Jiamin. But she didn’t even think about the consequences of her intervening in this matter.
