Chapter 137 Meng Huaizhi Returns to China

It's unclear what Jiang Shu heard, but her expression clearly turned sour.

After hanging up the phone, Si Yuan asked, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Shu seemed lost in thought, her expression somewhat grave. After a moment, she smiled with relief: "It's nothing. Even if the Heavenly King himself came, it wouldn't stop us from eating, right?"

Si Yuan nodded.

But she was certain that Jiang Shu must have done something wrong.

When Jiang Wang returned in the evening, he brought Si Yuan some cooked food.

Actually, Si Yuan really likes eating duck products, but she was strictly controlled in Haicheng before, and then she went abroad. Now that she's with Jiang Wang, she has finally achieved duck product freedom.

As Si Yuan ate chicken feet, she thought about Jiang Shu's unusual behavior today and felt that she should tell Jiang Wang.

“I had dinner with your sister today, and she seemed preoccupied after receiving a phone call.”

Jiang Wang smiled: "Her? She might not even care if the Earth were destroyed, so who could make her worry?"

Si Yuan frowned: "I'm not joking."

She really liked this older sister, so she was worried that she might run into some trouble.

Jiang Wang put down his phone and looked over, only to see Si Yuan munching on a chicken foot while looking at him seriously, which made him chuckle.

"Yes, I'm not kidding."

Si Yuan felt that Jiang Wang seemed to have some kind of "self-confusion syndrome" now; whenever he looked at himself, he would start talking nonsense.

Si Yuan felt she wouldn't get any answers from Jiang Wang, so she sighed and thought about the company again.

"I heard from Liu Yanrui that the head of HC is coming to China to review our branch's implementation plan. I'm basically in charge of half of it, so I'm a little nervous."

"What are you nervous about?" Jiang Wang went over and hugged her, resting his chin on the top of her head, and said, "You make a living with your abilities, you're a hundred percent capable."

Si Yuan sighed, "I hope so." Then she added, "I heard that this time it's Chinese people who are coming. I wonder if that will make things better."

Jiang Wang's hand paused.

"Chinese?"

"Um."

There is only one Chinese person among HC's senior board members.

"Is your surname Meng?"

"Yes, I don't know the specific name."

Jiang Wang nodded, chuckled, and said, "Then I think I know why Jiang Shu suddenly acted strangely today."

Si Yuan: "?"

"Meng Huaizhi is coming back."

Jiang Wang saw that Si Yuan looked blank and realized that she was unaware of her sister's achievement.

“Meng Huaizhi is my uncle, but not by blood. My sister fell in love with him back then. I don’t know if Meng Huaizhi was in love with her, but my dad and he became enemies. In the end, Meng Huaizhi went abroad, and my sister almost followed him. She was beaten half to death by my dad before she started doing business.”

In just a few short sentences, each sentence is packed with information.

Si Yuan quickly sat up straight and began to distance herself from what Jiang Wang had just said.

In other words, Jiang Shu is here today because she knows Meng Huaizhi is coming back?

“Meng Huaizhi hasn’t been back to China for almost ten years. When he left, my sister hadn’t even graduated from university yet; she was only twenty years old.”

"So, the reason why my sister hasn't been in a relationship all these years is..."

"It's because of him."

Meng Huai's departure from the country is tantamount to unilaterally severing all ties with the Jiang family, including with Jiang Shu.

Si Yuan only understood today why Jiang Shu never minded that she had liked her foster brother.

turn out to be……

Like-minded people.

She pursed her lips: "Then what should we do?"

"What do you mean, what to do?"

"My sister doesn't look well."

“Everyone has their own hurdles to overcome. My sister is smarter than me; she can figure it out. And…”

Jiang Wang looked at Si Yuan and said, "Meng Huaizhi is different from Song Yan. Meng is a real man. He took the blame for that incident alone back then. He was accused of seducing his niece who was not related to him by blood... He left in a sorry state, leaving my sister with some dignity."

Si Yuan agrees.

There is no harm without comparison.

No wonder Jiang Shu hasn't been able to let go all these years.

“My sister and my dad also had a very bad falling out. Her current achievements are basically due to her being self-employed and building her own business…”

As Jiang Wang spoke, he suddenly patted Si Yuan's head and said, "It means she likes you very much. That family banquet was the first time she had returned to the Jiang family in so many years."

Si Yuan was somewhat flattered.

I wonder what will happen to Jiang Shu when Meng Huaizhi returns to China.

Everyone says that Jiang Shu has long since let go of it.

Meng Huaizhi is now 42 years old, and I guess he's already married in the United States.

——

On the day of the pickup, Liu Yanrui, along with Si Yuan and several other heads of the China region, waited there early in the morning.

The airport arrival gate was crowded and extremely noisy.

Liu Yanrui stood at the front, glancing at his watch every now and then: "President Meng's flight landed on time, he should be coming out soon."

He turned to Si Yuan and smiled, “Don’t worry, although President Meng has been overseas for many years, he is approachable and especially values ​​the ideas of our local team.”

Si Yuan nodded, and was about to respond when a slight commotion suddenly arose in the crowd.

A man emerged, surrounded by several well-dressed men.

The man was tall and straight, wearing a well-tailored dark gray suit. His hair was neatly combed, and his temples were already streaked with gray, which only accentuated his handsome features and calm, reserved demeanor.

He didn't try to be flamboyant; his gaze was calm and unwavering, yet he exuded a sense of detachment that came from someone who had long held a high position.

"That's Meng Huaizhi, President Meng," Liu Yanrui whispered a reminder.

Si Yuan's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason.

She suddenly remembered Jiang Shu's solemn expression that day. So this was what the person her sister had been thinking about for ten years looked like.

Mature, restrained, and exuding composure.

The two groups met, and Liu Yanrui greeted them calmly, introducing them: "Mr. Meng, this is Si Yuan, the core person in charge of the solutions at HC China branch, and this is Designer Lin..."

Immediately, Meng Huaizhi's gaze fixed on Si Yuan, and his brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

Si Yuan was startled and felt a strange sense of fear.

This aura is so strong, I'm afraid only... Jiang Shu can suppress it.

"Hello,"

Si Yuan quickly composed herself, stepped forward, and extended her hand: "Hello, President Meng, I am Si Yuan."

Meng Huaizhi didn't say much, only nodded slightly: "Thank you for your hard work."

The group walked towards the parking lot, with Liu Yanrui reporting on the preliminary itinerary.

Meng Huaizhi responded occasionally, but mostly remained silent, his gaze fixed on the rapidly receding street scene outside the car window.

She suddenly remembered what Jiang Wang had said: he was forty-two years old, and perhaps he had already started a family and established a career. Those feelings from his youth were probably long gone.

As soon as the car left the airport expressway, Meng Huaizhi suddenly spoke, breaking the silence in the car: "Si Yuan, are you Jiang Wang's girlfriend?"

Liu Yanrui was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting him to ask this suddenly, and subconsciously looked at Si Yuan.

Si Yuan's heart tightened, but she quickly realized that Meng Huaizhi had been keeping an eye on Jiang Shu while he was abroad all these years, and had also kept track of Jiang Wang's affairs.

Si Yuan carefully considered her words before speaking: "Yes, we're married."

Meng Huaizhi lowered his eyes and said, "Congratulations."

Si Yuan nodded, about to return the greeting, when she suddenly heard him ask, "How is she?"

Si Yuan didn't know how to answer.

Since he was able to find out about Jiang Wang's private affairs, he should be able to find out about Jiang Shu as well. So what he asked must not be about Jiang Shu's career.

She didn't dare to say anything rash, and only replied, "She's fine."

Meng Huaizhi hummed in agreement, then didn't press further, his gaze returning to the view outside the window.

Si Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but worry about Jiang Shu.

Meng Huaizhi asked her as soon as he returned to China. Does this mean that he hasn't let go?
