    Chapter 10 A phone call: Cheng Yuxin’s business is his business

    For the next few days, Cheng Yuxin didn’t go to the company, but she didn’t want to stay at home either – or in other words, she just didn’t want to be with Jiang Chen.

    Why would Jiang Chen know?Because Cheng Yuxin’s performance was too obvious.When Jiang Chen came to the study, he ran back to the bedroom.When Jiang Chen entered the bedroom, he moved to the living room.

    Although he didn’t say anything, his body made it clear that he didn’t want to stay with Jiang Chen.

    Logically speaking, Jiang Chen should be happy.After all, Cheng Yuxin, a lunatic, always has his own thoughts. As long as he stays with Jiang Chen, trouble will inevitably arise.

    But Jiang Chen couldn’t be happy no matter what.

    It must be because he took Cheng Yuxin’s money.It’s hard not to feel guilty when you take money and do nothing.

    With such guilt, Jiang Chen tiptoed to the living room.Cheng Yuxin was half lying on the sofa, replying to messages on her mobile phone.Cheng Yuxin seems to be very busy recently, and Jiang Chen can always see him replying to messages on his mobile phone.The expression on his face was also very serious, as if he had encountered something difficult.

    Is this owner short of money?Jiang Chen shook his head. Although Cheng Yuxin went to the company only a handful of times, it was obvious that he did not rely on the company for his livelihood.Maybe not only family support, but also other sources of income.

    And if Cheng Yuxin really ran out of money, Jiang Wanghai would definitely tell him.

    Then what else can be done to embarrass this young master who seems to have no fear of anything and everything?

    Jiang Chen was puzzled and his brows were almost twisted into knots.

    At this time, Cheng Yuxin, who was busy replying to messages, finally put down her phone, but she didn’t seem to relax at all. She stared at the ornaments on the coffee table with a solemn expression.

    Jiang Chen stepped forward and slowly sat down next to Cheng Yuxin’s body: “You…do you need any help?”

    Jiang Chen wanted to ask the other party directly what happened, but thinking about the current relationship between the two, he thought over and over again and adopted the safest wording.

    Cheng Yuxin ignored him and continued to stare at the ornaments, obviously distracted.Jiang Chen couldn’t get an answer and could only wait quietly aside, his eyes drifting to Cheng Yuxin from time to time.

    Although this guy is very difficult to deal with when he gets nervous, his quiet demeanor is really quite rare.

    For a moment, the huge room was so quiet that even breathing could be heard clearly, until Cheng Yuxin’s cell phone buzzed, breaking the rare silence.

    Cheng Yuxin suddenly woke up and quickly picked up the phone but didn’t press the answer button.

    Jiang Chen looked at him in confusion, and out of the corner of his eye saw Cheng Yuxin’s note to the caller on the phone screen: Brother.

    Huh?There are other brothers in this man’s family?Jiang Wanghai had known for a long time that Cheng Yuxin had fallen out with his family because of his sexual orientation. Thinking of Cheng Yuxin’s habit of spending a lot of money as usual and his recent abnormal behavior, it was difficult for Jiang Chen not to think about the family feud between brothers.

    Why don’t you go out, because the siege from the family has not disappeared.Why was he avoiding Jiang Chen? Because he knew that he had failed in the internal struggle and was unable to pay the remaining expenses.

    It seems that we have indeed reached the point where we are at the end of our rope.Jiang Chen held his breath, thinking he had spied the truth.

    The phone is still buzzing.Jiang Chen was both angry and distressed. Even at this point, the winner was still pressing forward aggressively, showing off his power when the opponent was most embarrassed and vulnerable.

    With this thought in mind, Jiang Chen reached out to grab Cheng Yuxin’s cell phone.Just let me meet this despicable villain.

    But he was quickly dodged.

    Cheng Yuxin looked at him warily, holding the phone with both hands as if protecting some peerless treasure.

    Jiang Chen missed the opportunity and almost fell on Cheng Yuxin. Fortunately, he stabilized his body in time to avoid making a fool of himself.He looked at Cheng Yuxin suspiciously and saw the other person’s wary eyes.

    This is the first time I see this kind of expression on Cheng Yuxin’s face

    Jiang Chen suddenly felt his heart go cold.She had good intentions to stand up for him, but was misunderstood.As expected, the brothers are heart-to-heart, and as an outsider, I have no position to say anything.

    Jiang Chen suppressed the bitterness in his heart, got up and came to the balcony.Cheng Yuxin held her cell phone in both hands, ran to the bedroom, and locked the bedroom door.

    Jiang Chen silently clenched his palms as he listened to the sound of the door being locked.

    Don’t worry about things that have nothing to do with the contract.Jiang Chen warned himself.

    But what if Cheng Yuxin really fails in the internal struggle and has no money?If I cannot pay the contract fees, do I still have to continue the contract?

    Jiang Chen was pacing back and forth on the balcony, obviously the matter had nothing to do with him, but he was like an ant on the hot pot.

    No, it’s obviously very relevant!Cheng Yuxin still has 300,000 yuan left to pay!

    Although he was determined to return the money to Cheng Yuxin, that would only happen after the contract was over.Since the contract is still there, Cheng Yuxin’s business is his business!

    Jiang Chen successfully convinced himself and called Fa Xiao.

    “Has something happened at your boss’s house recently?” Jiang Chen got straight to the point.

    When Jiang Wanghai heard this, he thought about it carefully and found that he had never heard anyone mention that the old lady was in poor health recently.

    “No, where did you hear about it?” Jiang Wanghai asked.

    “How are your boss’s brothers lately?” Jiang Chen was already sure that Cheng Yuxin had many brothers and sisters in her family, and they were all cruel and ruthless, and they would do whatever it took to get property.

    brother?Although Mr. Cheng has many brothers, Cheng Yuxin is undoubtedly the only son.What if they are not biological brothers?Jiang Wanghai had been doing things for Cheng Yuxin for so long, and of course he knew that Cheng Yuxin had always maintained friendly relations with his good brothers in college.No matter how busy we are, we always make time to get together every year.If it was this group of brothers, Jiang Wanghai had indeed heard that some of these brothers had a happy event coming up recently.The boss was also very concerned about this matter, and even prepared gifts for this matter himself without entrusting anyone.

    So Jiang Wanghai replied: “His brothers should be pretty good. Don’t make all these meanderings. What do you want to say? I’m busy here.” Jiang Wanghai told the truth. Ever since Cheng Yuxin moved out of the Cheng family’s old house, Jiang Wanghai had to do many things by himself, and his workload had doubled compared to before.In the time it took to make a phone call with Jiang Chen, he had already accumulated five emails that needed to be answered.Jiang Wanghai frowned and began to worry about whether he could get off work on time today.

    But don’t work overtime.Jiang Chen, a single guy, doesn’t understand the difficulty of balancing family and career.Jiang Wanghai groaned secretly in his heart.

    “Okay, go ahead and get busy. Goodbye.” Hearing the child’s anxiety, Jiang Chen didn’t ask any more questions and quickly hung up the phone.

    From Jiang Wanghai’s tone, it seemed that the relationship between Cheng Yuxin and his brother was not that bad.

    Then why does he still show that expression, and even more secretly hide himself?

    While I was thinking about it, there was a knock on the bedroom door.Jiang Chen turned his head.Just in time to see Cheng Yuxin push the door open and come out, but her face was not as solemn as before.

    Even a little sweet?Jiang Chen suspected that he had seen it wrong and blinked hard to confirm.

    That’s right, Jiang Chen could never mistake that indulging look.
