Chapter 289

Xie Zhiyan alone cannot dispel the suspicion that Shu Ying is a capitalist's daughter. Only with strong enough ability can she break through those prejudices.

Otherwise, there will always be some people who will pretend to be deaf and dumb, only listening to what they want to hear.

This is Shu Ying's chance.

Xie Zhiyan crossed his arms, his brows furrowing even deeper. "Why is your strength getting stronger and stronger? Have you been secretly taking hormones lately? You could kill a cow with one punch."

Ye Zhanying sneered, "That's a real pity. I should have had it embedded in the wall for you."

The mere thought of him spending every day with Shu Ying filled Ye Zhanying with resentment.

What gives him the right?

Xie Zhiyan fell silent.

He understood that she was jealous, blatantly jealous.

But when he met Jiang Yunzhou's gaze, his face suddenly turned cold again.

Jiang Yunzhou naturally noticed him as well. The two men's eyes met, and there was a subtle sense of competition between them.

Jiang Yunzhou didn't actually know Xie Zhiyan. He had only heard the name from his family. This was the first time he had seen him in person. He was indeed good-looking, but he had a fierce and menacing look, and didn't seem like the kind of person who would cherish women.

He thought that Shu Ying's married life must not be comfortable. Their profession mostly involves fighting and killing. Although he could understand, if he didn't have tenderness towards his family, life would be too difficult.

Moreover, Shu Ying is a gentle person, so she will probably have to be even more tolerant in their marriage.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yunzhou felt even more disdain for Xie Zhiyan.

A man who only has a reputation but can't manage his family affairs is nothing but a paper tiger.

No matter how impressive others describe him, at his core, he is a very rough person.

The war can't go on forever, but life must go on.

Jiang Yunzhou was not familiar with Xie Zhiyan, but Xie Zhiyan knew him very well.

Strictly speaking, this was not their first meeting; they had met eight years earlier.

He already knew about his engagement to Shu Ying at that time. He happened to be on a business trip to Shanghai, and for some reason, he wanted to go to the vicinity of the Shu family. When he arrived at Heping Lane, before he even entered the Shu family's gate, he saw Jiang Yunzhou, who was bringing Shu Ying back.

The two walked side by side, Shu Ying carrying a stack of books. They chatted and laughed, appearing completely at ease.

Xie Zhiyan and Shu Ying didn't have many opportunities to meet, you could count them on your fingers. But every time they met, she was usually quiet and reserved beside her parents, either answering politely or eating elegantly. She never smiled so brightly.

From that time on, Xie Zhiyan felt that Jiang Yunzhou was somewhat of an eyesore.

At that time, Shu Ying only felt that he was an unfamiliar stranger. When she suppressed her smile, she was polite and distant. In short, she did not have any desire to make him feel close to her.

But her smile was beautiful, like the sun in the sky, only that smile wasn't directed at him.

He used to think that Shu Ying had no emotions. No matter what others said or did, she would always just be herself. No one could control her emotions except for Jiang Yunzhou.

Xie Zhiyan thought to himself that he would probably never forget that scene.

That was the first time he saw Shu Ying's smile, and he knew he couldn't live without her.

He was glad that the two of them were engaged.

When the two met again after so many years, Xie Zhiyan still couldn't help but clench his fists.

The only difference now is that Shu Ying is now his wife, and she stands beside him with a charming smile, leaving no possibility for anyone else.

All of Shu Ying's joys and sorrows now stem from him. From the day they got married, they were destined to spend their lives together. In the long journey of life, he is more fortunate than Jiang Yunzhou.

Although Jiang Yunzhou was unwilling to back down and was equally resentful, the facts were clear, and he could not change the situation.

The only one he could blame was his own cowardice back then; the person he loved was right in front of him, yet he couldn't bring himself to say it.

Jiang Yunzhou immediately followed Shu Ying's footsteps. Although the two had not seen each other for a long time, they did not feel like strangers.

He quickly walked to her side. This was the first time the two of them had walked side by side since they were no longer in the same school. The familiar feeling of going to school as children came over him again, and he spoke first.

"Yingying, it's been a long time."

Shu Ying smiled and nodded, showing no intention of reminiscing in such a setting.

Jiang Yunzhou quickly understood what she meant and took the initiative to tell her about the current situation.

“One of our comrades was murdered last night. By the time we realized what had happened, it was too late. The documents in his possession had already been pieced together. We had no choice but to ask you to come and translate them. Also, Orlov, Novich, and I will work together with you. If you need anything, please feel free to speak up.”

Although Orlov couldn't understand what he was saying, he heard his own name in the man's voice, so he politely nodded to Shuying.

He hasn't been in China for very long, but he has always been interested in the country's etiquette. Through this period of time, he has been able to understand what the other person is saying, by listening and guessing.

Although there were occasional communication problems, everyone was united in their hatred of the enemy and warmly welcomed their arrival. Over time, this place almost became his second hometown.

"They mentioned you to me when I came here, but I didn't expect you to have already returned to China. Knowing that even you couldn't translate it, I knew that this mission would probably be quite difficult. But it's okay, there are so many of us here. If we work together, we will overcome any difficulties."
