Chapter 2531: Chapter 1592: The Zhou from Xia, Shang, and Zhou
"How did Mr. Jiang know?"
"By reading expressions and gestures."
Zhou Shaohua smiled warmly, "I’m not, but an elder in my family is."
Jiang Chen nodded.
"Mr. Jiang must be a businessman, right?"
Zhou Shaohua asked back, well, who doesn’t know how to read expressions and gestures?
"Yes."
Jiang Chen nodded calmly.
"Mr. Jiang must be quite successful in business. Having someone like Mr. Jiang emerge from Sha City is the pride of Sha City."
Compliments in business, basic social courtesies, but isn’t this getting a bit too far?
What time is it already?
Don’t they need to sleep?
Still, Boss Jiang’s patience seemed to lack a bit as he glanced at his phone for the time again, not indulging in the distant chatter any longer.
"I might as well call Fang Qing over, Young Master Zhou can talk directly with her."
"Sure."
Perhaps he was tired, not minding to act as a middleman for the profit, Boss Jiang picked up his phone and dialed Qing Mei’s number.
Of course.
If it weren’t a big man sitting across, but an elegant, beautiful, young lady, he’s likely wouldn’t mind imagining the future of Sha City together.
"Hmm?"
There was some background noise on the other end, a family of three seemingly watching TV, enjoying a warm moment.
"Come over."
Fang Qing felt a stir in her heart, instinctively glanced at the night outside the window, "What for?"
Even if she remained calm, Fang Weiguo and Pan Hui both subconsciously perked up their ears.
The artificial hand bouquet was still sitting on the tea cabinet, as vivid as ever.
"Just come over."
After a silent moment, not sure whether she hesitated or struggled, but Fang Qing eventually gave an "okay."
"I’ll head over."
She put down her phone and said.
Fang Weiguo and Pan Hui immediately put on a serious look pretending to be watching TV attentively, then asked with feigned puzzlement, "Where to?"
"The place opposite."
Fang Qing stood up.
"Will you come back?"
Fang Weiguo instinctively asked.
Pan Hui quickly gave him a light slap, "What are you saying!"
Fang Weiguo cleared his throat and immediately corrected himself, "I mean, when will you be back?"
Standing up, Fang Qing looked down on them.
"If you don’t want me to come back, then I won’t."
The couple was suddenly rendered speechless.
Fang Qing turned around.
"Bang."
After witnessing the door open and close again, Fang Weiguo stroked his chin, "This girl, she’s really starting to take charge."
Pan Hui showed a worried look, akin to wishing for their child to marry soon, yet reluctant, conflicted, tangled.
"She won’t actually not come back, will she?"
"She wouldn’t dare!"
Fang Weiguo immediately acted authoritative, speaking firmly, "If they dare mess around, I’ll break their legs!"
"Whose legs are you going to break?"
"One leg from each!"
Pan Hui understood his bluff.
"Alright, if they truly have the audacity, you’ll be secretly laughing under the covers."
Fang Weiguo’s face suddenly turned red, "What nonsense are you spouting! How could you as a mother say this."
Pan Hui dismissed him, "I’m going for a shower."
Outside the house.
Standing in front of the all-too-familiar door, Qing Gege was for once feeling conflicted.
Why was the other party looking for her?
Why at this hour?
Don’t they know her parents were right next door?
Some things, once they happen, mean there’s no turning back. In the past, she wouldn’t have thought this complex, she’d surely just "duangduangduang" banged on the door.
Whether they heard the commotion outside or had perfect timing, before Fang Qing could lift her hand, the security door opened first,
Boss Jiang’s expression was upright and natural, without a hint of indecency.
He stepped aside, offering a place to enter.
Fang Qing walked in without looking sideways, her expression calm, soon, the subtle emotions stopped fluctuating.
"Hello, Lawyer Fang."
Turns out there was another person in the room.
Seeing the unfamiliar man who stood up to greet her, Fang Qing tilted her head.
Boss Jiang introduced them with mutual understanding.
"Young Master Zhou, from the Xia, Shang, Zhou Dynasties’ Zhou."
