[Ah~ Tired.] Jiang Nianke lay on the sofa with his eyes closed.

Bai Yuncheng placed a glass of juice in front of her and sat down next to her.

Jiang Nianke suddenly remembered something, picked up his phone and sent a message to Jiang Siyuan.

Lying on the God of Wealth and counting money: Brother, did you give them a house?

Jiang Siyuan was working and when he saw it was Jiang Nianke, he put down his work and replied to her.

Jiang Siyuan: Yes, don’t they want it?

Lying on the God of Wealth and counting money: After my persuasion, they accepted it, and they also asked me to thank you.

Jiang Siyuan: Thanks, where did they go in the end?

Lying on the God of Wealth and counting money: they will return to the countryside and rent out the house to others.

Jiang Siyuan: Well, that’s good.

Lying on the God of Wealth counting money: Brother, thank you for conveying my message. You can get back to work. I won’t disturb you anymore.

Jiang Siyuan wanted to say, "I'm not busy," but he looked at the documents on the table and replied with an "OK" before going back to work.

Jiang Nianke put down his phone, saw the juice in front of him, picked it up and started drinking.

【Done! 】

Jiang Nianke took a sip and then quickly put it down when she remembered something. Bai Yuncheng next to her looked at her in confusion.

Jiang Nianke walked to Jiang Zexi's study and knocked on the door. There was a response from inside and she pushed the door open and went in.

Jiang Zexi stuck her head out and looked at the people inside. He looked at her helplessly and said, "Come in. How can you be like this?"

Jiang Nianke pouted and went in. She sat on the stool and looked at Jiang Zexi tentatively a few times.

Jiang Zexi felt a little embarrassed by her gaze, and said in a serious voice, "Do you want to say something?"

Jiang Zexi put down the documents in his hand and looked at her. Jiang Nianke lowered his head and said, "It's over. Grandpa won't be angry, will he?"

Jiang Zexi raised his eyebrows, and Jiang Nianke raised his head with an apologetic look, "Grandpa, this was an emergency, and I got excited and... I let go." His voice became lower and lower.

Jiang Zexi thought she looked pretty. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, but then he pressed them down again, "Oh? Then what's wrong with you?"

Jiang Nian Ke thought about it, but couldn't tell where he had done wrong. "My mistake was that I didn't cripple that bastard!" His voice suddenly became excited.

After Jiang Nianke finished speaking, she looked at Jiang Zexi excitedly. He was still sitting there looking at her with a serious face.

[Hiss~ How embarrassing. ]

Jiang Zexi shook his head. "Don't be so impulsive next time. What if the other party has a knife? How can a girl like you just rush up to fight with a grown man?"

His voice was serious but full of worry. Jiang Nian knew that he was not angry, so he quickly tried to please him, "Yes, Grandpa, you are right. I was impulsive. Next time I will make sure to find out if the other party has a knife before taking action."

Jiang Zexi felt that this was not right. He seemed to have been tricked by her. He shook his head helplessly and said, "You, I really don't know who you look like."

"I am so beautiful, smart and talented, of course I inherit it from you, grandpa." Jiang Nianke ran over and hugged Jiang Zexi.

Jiang Zexi was amused by her words, and Jiang Nianke continued to talk and laugh. For a while, cheerful laughter was heard in the serious and old-fashioned study.

"By the way, Grandpa, is your birthday coming soon?" Jiang Nianke looked at him and asked.

"It's a small birthday, it doesn't matter whether you celebrate it or not." Jiang Zexi said in a gentle voice.

"That's impossible! This is your first birthday since I came back home!" Jiang Nianke said seriously.

"Okay, okay, okay. It's up to you. You can do whatever you want." Jiang Zexi looked at her lovingly.

Jiang Nianke smiled happily, "Let's do it at home, and let our family enjoy it together."

Jiang Zexi nodded and listened, "Grandpa, is there anyone you want to invite at that time?" Jiang Nianke looked at him and asked.

"We are all cooperative partners. It doesn't matter whether you invite us or not." Jiang Zexi's eyes darkened.

"Okay, then we'll celebrate on our own. I've already bought the gifts, so Grandpa can look forward to it." Jiang Nianke looked at him and blinked.

"Okay." Jiang Zexi smiled.

"Then I'll go out first." Jiang Zexi nodded in response, and Jiang Nianke carefully closed the door and went out.

Jiang Zexi looked at the closed door and his face returned to its serious look.

Birthday.

Normally, Chairman Jiang Zexi should have invited guests for his birthday, and this has always been the case in the past. However, this time, the people who were waiting to be invited did not receive any invitations until the birthday day.

Some people with connections went to inquire and found out that this birthday party was not going to be a big one. The Jiang family would just celebrate it at home and no one was invited.

After hearing this, everyone else felt relieved. They were just worried that they were not invited. Some people wanted to get in touch with the Jiang family and had been waiting for this day, but in the end, no one invited them. They didn't know what to do for a moment.

……

At the Gu family's side, Gu Tingyan was anxious at home. Gu Wei had offended Jiang Nianke on a previous variety show, and Gu Tingyan's company was messed up by Jiang Siyuan and Jiang Zexi. Several major projects that had already been negotiated were cancelled.

Gu Tingyan originally wanted to scold Gu Wei, but when he saw her pitiful appearance, he softened his heart and could only persuade her not to mess with Jiang Nianke.

Gu's mother was comforting Gu Wei. When she heard what he said, she was immediately furious. "What do you mean don't mess with Jiang Nian Ke? Gu Tingyan, listen to what you said, are you talking like a human being?"

Mother Gu stood up and pointed at Gu Tingyan, "It was Jiang Nianke who had been bullying our Weiwei on the show. Now you are helping outsiders instead of your own daughter, right?"

Gu Tingyan pinched his brows and said in a tired voice, "No, I am on Weiwei's side, but it is not a good thing that my company has been suppressed by the Jiang family."

Mother Gu stood by and crossed her arms, "If you ask me, Jiang Nian is really lucky to be the daughter of the Jiang family. However, the Jiang family died a long time ago, so I'm not sure how long she can live."

Gu Wei sat on the sofa, tears welling up in her eyes, and her eyes were red. She looked at Gu Tingyan and then at Gu's mother, and said softly, "Dad, Mom, I'm sorry that I have caused you trouble. I was not liked by other guests on the show, so I wanted to talk to Nian Ke. As soon as I talked to her, she stayed away from me. I don't know why she became like this. She was not like this when she was at Gu's house before..."

As he spoke, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. Seeing this, Gu Tingyan's anger immediately disappeared and he said in a gentle voice, "Weiwei, Daddy really doesn't blame you. It's Daddy's fault. I shouldn't have brought my emotions from work home."

Mother Gu sat down and hugged Gu Wei's shoulders. "That Jiang Nianke used to eat and wear our clothes, but now she's targeting our family. If it weren't for us, she would have starved to death somewhere."

Mother Gu looked away with resentment in her eyes. Gu Wei lowered her head and snuggled in her arms with a smile on her face.

"Mom, is my brother coming back soon?" Gu Wei raised her head and looked at her mother with tearful eyes.

"Yes, your brother is coming back. When he comes back, let him go on the show with you. With him protecting you, see if Jiang Nian Ke dares to bully you." Mother Gu picked up the phone and made a call.

The call was connected, and a deep voice came from the other end of the line, "Mom, what's the matter?"

Mother Gu walked aside and said, "Why can't I call you if nothing happened? When will you come back? Your sister is being bullied by someone else!"

The person on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, "Which sister? Gu Wei?"

Mother Gu said angrily, "If it's not Weiwei, then how could it be Jiang Nianke? Weiwei was bullied by Jiang Nianke. Come back quickly and go on the show with her. Jiang Nianke has been afraid of you since she was a child. I don't think she will dare to do it again with you around."

There was a long pause on the other end of the line, followed by a faint smile, "Okay, I'll be back on the 17th."

Mother Gu glanced at the date. It was the 10th. "Okay, call me when you get off the plane. I'll ask Weiwei to pick you up."

The other end of the line answered once and hung up. Gu's mother looked at the hung up phone and shouted again, "Who do you think Gu Yan looks like? He was talking to his parents, and he just answered once and hung up the phone. He didn't even bother to ask about his parents' health."

Gu Tingyan didn't respond to her, but just lowered her head and pinched her brows. Gu Wei saw her finish the call and ran over to hug her, "Mom, my brother said when he will be back."

Mother Gu patted her hands and said, "The 17th is still seven days away. Can't wait to see him?"

Gu Wei lowered her head shyly, "I'm a little nervous meeting my brother for the first time."

"Why should you be nervous? He is your brother. He will definitely protect you when the time comes."

Gu Wei nodded happily and talked to the system in her mind.

【Gu Wei: System, is my brother on the capture list?】

[System: Yes, host, your brother is doing scientific research abroad. He will be a rising star in the scientific research community in the future.]

[Gu Wei: Only a brother like this is worthy of my status as the heroine. Jiang Nianke's three brothers are nothing. I will trample them under my feet when the time comes.]
