Chapter 49

Jiang Chen was still hot when he got in the car. He looked down at himself, hit the steering wheel, calmed down for another ten minutes, and then drove home.

He was the one who talked about platonic love, and he was also the one who almost stripped him naked at the door.

Although Ling Sheng made the first move, he wasn’t exactly innocent either, not being able to control himself. If it weren’t for his brother’s phone call, he might not have been able to come back today.

After driving for more than an hour, the heat on his body finally subsided when he got home. As soon as he entered the door, he saw his father sitting in the same spot where he had lectured him last time, with his brother sitting next to him.

“What’s wrong?” Jiang Chen took off his coat and put it aside.

Jiang’s father still had lingering anger between his brows: “What’s wrong? Why did you hurt He Xiaoyun?”

Jiang Chen frowned: “He Xiaoyun came to you?”

Jiang’s father didn’t understand what was wrong with Jiang Chen recently. He had always been a calm person, and they never had to worry about his actions. However, recently, he had repeatedly done these outrageous things, fighting in public and fighting with He Xiaoyun at school.

“The matter has even reached your grandfather!” Jiang’s father said angrily, “What’s wrong with you lately! You’re acting so inconsiderately! The project is about to reach a cooperation agreement with the He family, and you’re causing this trouble at this time. If something really goes wrong, can you take responsibility!”

Jiang Jian said from the side: “Dad, let’s hear what Xiao Chen has to say first. Xiao Chen isn’t such an impulsive person.”

Jiang’s father calmed down a little, took a sip of water, and waited for his explanation.

Jiang Chen frowned even tighter, the muscles in his cheeks tensed, he lowered his eyes, but didn’t intend to explain.

He knew that what he did was inappropriate, but he didn’t regret it. He just didn’t expect He Xiaoyun to mix emotional matters with business, and even bring it to his grandfather.

Seeing him remain silent, Jiang’s father became even angrier. Fortunately, Jiang Jian spoke up at this time: “He Zong’s grandfather and grandfather have a friendship. He came back this time mainly for the Jiang City project. I was there when he went to visit grandfather today and saw the injury on his face. He only said that he was accidentally injured, but I felt uneasy, so I investigated and found out what happened.”

Indeed, he didn’t think so much when he punched him that day, and He Xiaoyun was so flamboyant that day, presumably many people saw it. Just ask around at the school and you’ll find out.

It wasn’t that He Xiaoyun was deliberately trying to make trouble for him, but he didn’t feel any more relaxed. If he came for the Jiang City project, then he might not just stay for a few days and leave. Wouldn’t he have a lot of time to meet with Ling Sheng?

Seeing that he still didn’t speak, Jiang’s father became even angrier, his voice amplified: “Jiang Chen, what’s going on! Speak!”

Jiang Chen finally lowered his eyes and said faintly: “It’s nothing, we had a little dispute, so we fought.”

“The older you get, the less you know what’s important, right!” Jiang’s father stood up and raised his hand, but looking at him standing still, he finally didn’t bring it down, and finally retracted it: “Move back here to live as soon as the exam is over. You’ve been living outside for a year, and I think you’ve forgotten everything.”

Jiang Chen didn’t speak, knowing what Jiang’s father meant. He might not be able to go to Ling Sheng recently.

But the thought that he couldn’t go to Ling Sheng, but He Xiaoyun was hanging around Ling Sheng every day, made him very anxious, even his breathing became heavy.

“Dad, I’ll keep an eye on him these few days, don’t be angry.” Jiang Jian comforted Jiang’s father, and finally Jiang’s mother came over to persuade him, and then they persuaded him to go to rest.

Jiang Chen returned to his room, sat on the bed and thought for a long time about how to tell Ling Sheng to have less contact with He Xiaoyun before he was ungrounded. At this time, there was a knock on the door.

“Xiao Chen, it’s me.”

It was Jiang Jian.

Jiang Chen went over and opened the door.

The two brothers have always had a good relationship. As the eldest son, Jiang Jian was educated rigorously and upright since he was a child. He was the most obedient child in Jiang’s father’s heart. As the youngest son, Jiang Chen was naturally given more love by the family. In addition, with Jiang Jian in front, Jiang’s father was more relaxed with him, and he gained more freedom.

“What’s going on between you and He Zong?” Jiang Jian’s tone was calm, with concern.

Jiang Chen didn’t want to lie, but he couldn’t say it directly, so he could only remain silent.

Seeing his expression, Jiang Jian knew that he didn’t want to say it. He didn’t force him, but said lightly: “This project is very big. The He family does have a great advantage among several groups. This time he also went to grandfather. With grandfather’s face, the cooperation between this project and the He family is basically set. It’s not appropriate for you to attack He Xiaoyun at this time, for both our families, both publicly and privately.”

Of course Jiang Chen knew, but He Xiaoyun was really annoying.

He took a deep breath and said in a low voice: “There is a little personal friction between him and me, I will pay attention to it in the future.”

Jiang Jian carefully observed his expression. He had been by Jiang’s father’s side since he was a child, and he had a lot of dealings in the officialdom, so he was naturally better at observing words and expressions than ordinary people. Moreover, based on his understanding of his younger brother, what could make him so impulsive to hit someone was probably more than just a “little” friction.

He had investigated He Xiaoyun when he knew that he was coming back to discuss this project in person. There was nothing special, the only special thing was his sexual orientation, and He Xiaoyun didn’t mean to deliberately hide it, so it was easy to find out.

Jiang Jian hesitated and asked him: “He Xiaoyun… is a Gay, he won’t do anything to you…”

Jiang Chen was stunned when he heard it, and immediately defended: “Brother, what are you thinking? We are not each other’s type, don’t guess!”

Jiang Jian “Oh”ed and looked at his revitalized face, smiled and said: “After all, my brother’s beauty is still a bit tempting, am I really thinking too much?”

“Can you think about something serious!” Jiang Chen was anxious, he didn’t want to get involved with He Xiaoyun, he was annoyed to death by He Xiaoyun.

From the beginning of entering the door, Jiang Chen had a worried look, and now he finally felt a little alive. Jiang Jian was slightly relieved and still instructed: “If you really don’t get along, you can have less contact, but don’t do it again. Now the legal departments of both sides are reviewing the cooperation contract, and it is estimated that it will be signed soon. It is not a small matter, you must also be measured.”

Jiang Chen nodded, Jiang Jian got up and prepared to leave. Seeing Jiang Jian walk to the door, he couldn’t help but stop him when he thought of Jiang Jian’s support for him since he was a child: “Brother.”

Jiang Jian looked back at him.

Jiang Chen hesitated again when he looked back, and finally only said: “It’s nothing, just remind you, be nice to your sister-in-law.”

Jiang Jian gave him a strange look, opened the door and left.

On the way back, he made a phone call to his assistant: “Go check who He Zong has been in contact with recently, especially those who have a close relationship, and then check whether there are any people among these people who have intersections with Jiang Chen, uh, regardless of gender.”

He knew this younger brother too well. When he said that He Xiaoyun was Gay just now, he was not surprised at all, which means he knew it long ago. And when he asked him if He Xiaoyun was interested in him, he easily knew that he was not He Xiaoyun’s type, even more detailed than he knew.

Where did he know it from?

There is friction in personal matters, what kind of personal matters can cause two people who have never met to the point of fighting?

He wanted to see what He Xiaoyun and Jiang Chen were doing.

Finally getting some peace and quiet, Jiang Chen opened his phone and realized that Ling Sheng had sent him a message fifteen minutes ago.

Baby: 【Are you home?】

JC: 【Yes.】

He thought for a while, and then sent: 【I may not have time to go to you before the exam is over.】

Baby: 【He Xiaoyun told me that he went to see your grandfather today and met your brother. Is everything okay at home?】

He Xiaoyun went to Ling Sheng again? And told him about it?!

Jiang Chen’s fingers flew quickly:

JC: 【It’s okay.】

JC: 【Tell him, I regret it, I should have hit him harder.】

JC: 【No, you better not go to him.】

JC: 【Can you not see him before my exam is over?】

JC: 【Anyway, as much as possible, avoid him if you can.】

JC: 【It’s not that I don’t trust you, it’s that I don’t trust him.】

Looking at the messages sent quickly, Ling Sheng curled his lips and directly made a video call.

After the connection, he saw Jiang Chen still wearing the clothes he wore during the day. He looked at the map and calculated the time he arrived home. He should have just finished talking with his family, and his eyes were still a little aggrieved and depressed.

He’s unhappy.

Ling Sheng had already taken a shower, he was clean and refreshed, wearing pajamas, he hooked his lips and smiled: “Not washed yet?”

Jiang Chen tried his best not to look relaxed: “No, my brother came to talk to me just now.”

Ling Sheng chatted with him warmly: “What did you talk about?”

“Talking about He Xiaoyun, why is everyone talking about him.” Jiang Chen was a little irritable, and there was an inability to vent his depression: “He is everywhere.”

Ling Sheng thought for a while before slowly opening his mouth: “I have a way to make you not think about him, do you want to try it?”

Jiang Chen was a little interested: “What.”

“Go to the bathroom.”

Jiang Chen reacted for a second and knew what he wanted to say. His thoughts were diverted all of a sudden, and his face flushed: “I know what you want to say.”

“Is that so?” Ling Sheng chuckled lightly: “It seems you’ve tried it many times.”

Jiang Chen didn’t refute, but couldn’t say it either.

Ling Sheng’s voice became lighter and more sticky: “Didn’t you say that you always think of He Xiaoyun when you are with me?”

Jiang Chen frowned, obviously he didn’t like this topic.

The smile in Ling Sheng’s voice didn’t change. He guided him: “Just now? The kiss before you left, did it make you think of him?”

If he didn’t say it, Jiang Chen wouldn’t have thought about it carefully, but now looking back, besides Ling Sheng, besides wanting him, he didn’t seem to think about anything else.

Ling Sheng guessed what he was thinking just by looking at the expression on his face. He softened his voice and added a bit of breath: “Put on your headphones, go to the bathroom, let’s finish what we didn’t finish just now.”
