Chapter 139 Call Me Uncle

Chapter 139 Call Me Uncle

After the dinner party ended, Liu Yanrui and Ji Song hurriedly got up to see Meng Huaizhi and his party off.

They're both clients, so why is Siyuan's attitude so different?

She took a punch for her, but didn't say a word of concern, and just followed the old man around like a puppy.

Does Jiang Wang know?

Looking at it this way, her methods are indeed quite clever; she managed to charm the man completely.

Ji Song became increasingly unhappy, so he followed them out.

It was already dark by then, and Liu Yanrui had prepared a car in advance to take Meng Huaizhi and the others to the hotel.

Everyone got into their cars, except for Meng Huaizhi's car, which hadn't arrived yet.

Si Yuan waited with Liu Yanrui and also saw Jiang Shu's car parked on the side of the road.

She should be able to clearly see the person she used to like, right?

Liu Yanrui suddenly asked, "What was Miss Si's response?"

Si Yuan snapped out of her daze and hurriedly said, "I... my friend is here to pick me up."

Ji Song happened to come out and heard this, so he looked at the car by the roadside.

This car model and license plate are so unique that you can't find many like it in the entire capital. It must belong to the Jiang family.

Is Si Yuan afraid to even admit it to her own husband in public?

And yet they still talk about sincerity.

He smiled sarcastically: "Would you mind giving me a ride?"

Si Yuan turned around and smiled: "I mind."

Meng Huai paused, then gave Ji Song a deep look.

They probably realized that Ji Song was definitely not a kind person.

Ji Song also noticed Meng Huaizhi's gaze, which solidified his thoughts even further.

"What are you afraid of? I know your husband."

He thought he had exposed Si Yuan's deception.

Si Yuan was speechless, wondering what kind of outrageous thing he was saying, and simply said, "He's not my husband, so it's really inconvenient."

Upon hearing this, Meng Huaizhi looked at the car in the distance.

The black Rolls-Royce, with a single glance down, already knew who it was.

"Shall I take you there?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present fell silent.

Especially Ji Song.

What's going on?

Why would you rush to offer yourself to someone just because you know they have a husband?

Old men are really strange.

Si Yuan looked at Jiang Shu's car, worried that Meng Huaizhi might discover that she was in the car, and for a moment she didn't know how to reply.

Meng Huaizhi, however, walked towards the car first.

Si Yuan was slightly startled and hurriedly followed.

Ji Song's expression worsened.

Si Yuan was the first woman he had ever met who ignored him but fawned over others.

Meng Huaizhi strode confidently and reached the carriage in just a few steps.

The car windows are one-way, so people outside can't see inside.

Jiang Shu sat in the driver's seat, her gaze clearly fixed on the man outside the car.

Meng Huaizhi glanced briefly out the car window without lingering, then turned to Si Yuan and said calmly, "Liu Yanrui should have already discussed all the approval processes for the establishment of the branch company with you, right? If you have any questions, feel free to contact me."

Si Yuan nodded quickly, her tone respectful: "Understood, Mr. Meng, Manager Liu has explained it to me."

Meng Huaizhi paused, glancing at her with a hint of gentle warmth in his eyes, a stark contrast to his aloofness at the dinner earlier.

"No need to call me Mr. Meng. According to seniority, you should call me Uncle."

"Uncle?" Si Yuan was taken aback, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. She then realized what she meant and obediently curved her lips into a smile. "Uncle."

Meng Huaizhi hummed in agreement, then asked, "You and Jiang Wang are already married?"

Si Yuan nodded calmly: "Yes, we got our marriage certificate."

"Congratulations." Meng Huaizhi nodded, his tone sincere. "I should have prepared a red envelope for you, but I didn't in time. I'll make it up to you another day."

"No need, no need, Uncle, you're too kind." Si Yuan hurriedly waved her hand, glanced at the car, and said quickly, "It's getting late, I'll be going now, goodbye Uncle."

After saying that, she walked around to the other side of the car, opened the door, and quickly got in.

She breathed a sigh of relief the moment the car door closed and turned to look at Jiang Shu.

Jiang Shu withdrew her gaze from Meng Huaizhi and looked at her, her eyes showing no emotion.

When he emphasized seniority to Si Yuan right in front of him, wasn't that what he meant?

Meng Huaizhi wanted to say that he would always be his uncle.

Jiang Shu watched him leave before slowly turning the steering wheel, and the black Rolls-Royce silently merged into the nighttime traffic.

Her fingertips rested on the steering wheel, and when she calmed down, she looked gloomy, much like Jiang Wang.

"He was drawing a line between himself and me, and also giving me a wake-up call."

Si Yuan was taken aback and followed his gaze to the rearview mirror.

"Mr. Meng knew you were in the car? I thought he hadn't seen you."

"He knew as soon as he came out."

Si Yuan never expected Meng Huaizhi to have such a sharp eye.

Jiang Shu smiled and said, "After all, I've liked this man for over ten years. How could I not understand him?"

After Jiang Shu finished speaking, she remembered Ji Song, who had been following Si Yuan.

"That blond kid..."

Si Yuan sighed deeply: "He is Ji Song."

"The one who hid Lin Shuangyu?"

"Um."

Why is he bothering you?

“He’s mentally unstable, and we don’t know what he’s planning to do next, but it’s no use now. Jiang Wang is almost there to find Lin Shuangyu.”

A hint of coldness flashed in Jiang Shu's eyes: "Men are all so troublesome, I'll help you deal with it."

Si Yuan didn't stop him; Ji Song really should have been told to tone it down.

She turned to look out the window. The winter night view of Beijing was still bustling and dazzling, with the glow of the streetlights casting long trails on the car window.

Si Yuan asked softly, "Sister, I guess... Mr. Meng hasn't let go of you this time he's back?"

Jiang Shu tightened her grip on the steering wheel, and after a long while, she slowly spoke: "What can we do if we can't let go? Didn't you see that he just made his seniority very clear? If we keep arguing, it will only make things awkward for everyone."

——

The car door closed, shutting out everything outside.

Meng Huaizhi leaned back in his chair, his fingertips lightly tapping his knees, a knowing glint in his eyes.

The fact that Jiang Shuhui came to pick up Si Yuan is enough to demonstrate Si Yuan's importance in the Jiang family.

Therefore, his use of the term "little uncle" was both his true feeling and something he was saying to Jiang Shu.

The person who was following Si Yuan just now...

"Tell him to behave."

Meng Huaizhi instructed his subordinates, his tone revealing neither joy nor anger, "The Jiang family is not someone he can afford to offend."

The assistant quickly replied, "Yes, I understand."

——

Ji Song watched as the group dispersed, and Si Yuan didn't stay either. Feeling disappointed and bored, he decided to drive to a nightclub to clear his head.

As soon as I got on the bus, I received a call saying that Lin Shuangyu had become suspicious and was making a fuss.

Ji Song frowned impatiently. "Let her stay put. Maybe I can get her back to the capital unharmed."

The person on the other end of the phone said, "Lin Shuangyu said that you have also been bewitched by Si Yuan, and he wants you to... take action as soon as possible."

Ji Song sneered, "Nonsense."

How is that possible?

After hanging up the phone, Ji Song found it increasingly ridiculous.

Then, in frustration, he tugged at his hair.

Whenever Si Yuan is mentioned, all that comes to mind is her cautious and respectful demeanor towards Meng Huaizhi.

Why? He was beaten for her, he betrayed Lin Shuangyu for her, yet she avoided him like the plague.

How could I possibly have feelings for her?

With the accelerator floored, the sports car roared into the night.
