"..."
Yan Guiqiu suddenly forgot what he wanted to say before.
As the older one in biological age, Jiang Xuehe also behaved calmly and gentlely in line with his age on weekdays, and it was the first time that he pretended to be pitiful.
but……
Also cute.
Yan Guiqiu stretched out his hand to cover his darling, shamefully feeling a little cute.
She could only nod her head repeatedly.
Before she had time to say anything, she heard a sudden "poof" from the entrance of the alley.
Then there was the coughing sound of choking on saliva.
Jiang Xuehe's face darkened instantly, and he turned his head to take a look.
The earth-shattering cough stopped instantly.
Yan Guiqiu looked up and saw a man standing against the light, judging from his figure and clothes, he should be a young man.
He seemed to be an acquaintance of Jiang Xuehe.
"Is it funny?" Jiang Xuehe asked gently.
"Well, it's a little—" The man stopped the car in time, and his tone turned 180 degrees, but he still didn't stop his mouth, "—it's scary."
Jiang Xuehe: "..."
She twitched the corners of her mouth, revealing an insincere smile, the man trembled undetectably, subconsciously closed his mouth, turned his eyes around and stopped on Yan Guiqiu, his eagerness was visible to the naked eye point.
"This is Ms. Yan, I have admired her name for a long time, I have admired her name for a long time." The young man came over with a few steps, and barely grabbed Yan Guiqiu's hand and shook it back and forth a few times.
Yan Guiqiu finally saw his face clearly——
In his twenties, he looks older than Jiang Xuehe. He is wearing a gray sportswear that looks like he just ran out of some senior activity center or square dance center, but his hair has been carefully groomed. With a row of shiny silver rings.
I don't know whether it should be called non-mainstream, or... simply weird.
Yan Guiqiu looked at him, then at Jiang Xuehe, and then turned back to look at the young man.
The two of them still look a little bit alike.
"My name is Jiang Xuyu." The young man introduced himself excitedly.
"It's my cousin." Jiang Xuehe added, glanced at him, and added, "Occasionally I'm a little out of tune, don't mind."
Oh, in the plot, Jiang Xuehe is one of the most powerful assistants when he fights for family property.
Yan Guiqiu reacted.
Should it be said that Jiang Xuehe is worthy, this kind of talent can be controlled.
Yan Guiqiu couldn't help being awed.
Probably because he realized that he was dressed in an unsuitable way, so Jiang Xuyu explained it on purpose.
"I just came out of an activity center for the elderly in the city center. I played a set of Tai Chi with my uncle, and went for a run by the river. My clothes were sent to the hotel, and I haven't had time to change them yet."
Yan Guiqiu: "..."
Yan Guiqiu: "Oh."
It turned out to be an activity center for the elderly.
The first impression was deeply ingrained, and Jiang Xuyu saw the complex expression on her face, so he was silent for a moment, glanced at Jiang Xuehe, and explained a few more sentences.
"Our company is currently making intelligent products for the elderly, and we plan to open a branch in Yunhua City later, so come and investigate in advance."
He originally arrived in Yunhua City in the morning, but after arriving here, Jiang Xuehe said that she had something to do, so he could only find something for himself first.
Although he also brought people here, he still feels more at ease when he is used to doing things himself.
The restaurant where Jiang Xuehe took Yan Guiqiu to eat happened to be newly opened near the gallery, and Jiang Xuyu was about to visit his cousin's place after he was busy, so he happened to bump into it.
With the disturbance from outsiders, Jiang Xuehe and Yan Guiqiu naturally lost the mood to play around, and led Jiang Xuyu to the gallery first.
"Didn't you say to come back next week?" Jiang Xuehe dug out the desserts in the cupboard to entertain his cousin.
Jiang Xuyu's taste is quite similar to Yan Guiqiu's, both of them especially like sweets.
Obviously the relationship between the two is really good, Jiang Xuyu was not polite at all, he picked the most expensive and least expensive box of biscuits and opened it.
"Old Zhao's family has something to ask for leave next week - just the great god that our company has newly dug up. Why don't you take him to see the future workplace this week." Jiang Xuyu said while biting a biscuit, "And next week you Brother is coming, do you know?"
"My brother?" Jiang Xuehe rescued a few bags of biscuits from the box he opened and stuffed them to Yan Guiqiu who was next to him. He was a little surprised when he heard this, "What is he here for?"
"It's not about the good things your mother did. I don't know where he heard that the little girl was so pitiful by his mother, and her innocence was gone. It happened that the old man was angry last time. He was anxious to show it, in front of the old man. In front of him... Oh, that's called a self-blame, saying that he must come to the door to apologize in person."
Jiang Xuyu rolled his eyes flamboyantly, his disgust was palpable: "You didn't see that, the old man was so angry, he thought he was doing well."
"..."
Jiang Xuehe couldn't help being silent for a moment, but she wasn't very surprised: "It seems like something he can do."
It's not that Jiang Xueyang is really bad, but when it comes to complimenting others, it's always easy to use too much force.
However, Mr. Jiang is a master of yin and yang, and you may not be able to hear him scolding you in front of his face. When the brothers and sisters went to visit their grandfather when they were young, Jiang Xueyang would take it seriously seven or eight times out of ten.
Now it seems that after growing up, Jiang Xueyang doesn't seem to have made much progress.
"Isn't it just that the old man told you to go back to eat, so he volunteered to pick you up on the way." Jiang Xuyu snorted coldly, "I don't want to bump into him, bad luck!"
Jiang Xuyu obviously had a lot of resentment towards Jiang Xueyang, and he didn't hesitate to complain in front of his own sister.
Yan Guiqiu sat on the side and listened with great interest, so he almost grabbed a handful of melon seeds and listened to Jiang Xueyang's embarrassing things over the years.
While listening, I also had a general understanding of Jiang Xueyang's specific image.
Jiang Xueyang is a no-debt and no-debt type in the company. He can handle everything the old man entrusts to him.
When others called him, it was still Young Master Jiang, because the old man didn't give up his seat, and he himself didn't have a good grade to achieve.
Probably because Jiang Xuehe, the biggest competitor, was absent, Jiang Xueyang lacked some motivation to move forward.
It's no wonder that the old man was so angry that he scolded Jiang Xuehe for not making progress——
If Jiang Xuehe was around, he would still bother to teach|teach those elms what to do.
But outside of the company, there are a lot of gossip about Jiang Xueyang. Madam Jiang loves to show off her son's filial piety and excellence. of.
Mrs. Jiang is not completely ignorant of those rumors, but she still enjoys it. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is to create the image of a perfect son so that he can find a good marriage partner.
It's a pity that Mrs. Jiang, who has a similar family background, doesn't like her, and she can't climb up to her even better.
Jiang Xueyang himself did not express his opinion. His mother asked him to meet the lady of the old family, so he went, and he did not know what kind of blind date he was talking about. Mrs. Jiang went to find the next one.
Mrs. Jiang is most worried about her son's lifelong event.
Jiang Xuyu brought these things up specifically, not just to make fun of the two of them, and at the end, he gave Yan Guiqiu a meaningful look.
"Your brother is [-] years old this year, other people's family can play soy sauce at this age, your mother only picks this year or two, and after that, she will accept her fate and choose from a similar family. .”
Yan Guiqiu's eyelids twitched when Jiang Xuyu saw it.
The kind of eyes that looked at the goods made her feel uncomfortable.
But the gloomy feeling was fleeting, and Jiang Xuyu himself seemed to be unhappy. He threw the last piece of broken biscuit into his mouth, turned away his face, and chewed it expressionlessly.
Yan Guiqiu felt Jiang Xuehe's hand gripping her wrist tightly, and then there was a deep voice: "I know. I won't."
"I hope." Jiang Xuyu came over for a while before turning his gaze back, with a playful smile again, "Forget it, let's not talk about those unlucky things. As the host, you two should treat me well when my brother comes back. Guest."
Jiang Xuehe patted the back of Yan Guiqiu's hand reassuringly, did not continue the vague topic, changed the subject cooperatively, and asked, "Where do you want to go?"
Jiang Xuyu thought for a moment and said, "Nursing homes, or community activity centers for the elderly."
"If you're okay, you can accompany me to the square to participate in the square dance for the elderly at night." He counted on his fingers and said, "I'm a big man, I'm really embarrassed."
Yan Guiqiu: "..."
"You still feel embarrassed?" Jiang Xuehe expressed Yan Guiqiu's heartfelt feelings. She looked at Jiang Xuyu's clothes up and down, and said, "I think you are quite enjoying it."
"No, I'm actually very embarrassed." Jiang Xuyu looked serious, "It's not that it's too far from the hotel, and I can't get a taxi, so I want to come to you."
Jiang Xuehe stared at him for a while, and finally couldn't bear to look directly at him and looked away: "I'll send you back to change your clothes first."
Yan Guiqiu guessed that they had something to say in private, so he sat in the same place and waved his hand to them: "You guys go, I'm a little tired after eating, just sit here and wait for you."
"Aren't you curious at all?" Jiang Xuyu leaned over to ask her instead.
"Curiosity about what?" Yan Guiqiu asked back.
"The matter between me and Xuehe." Jiang Xuyu said.
"Half and half." Yan Guiqiu stretched out his hand and gestured, "I'm only interested in Sister Xuehe's part. If you can tell me, Sister Xuehe will tell me in the future."
Jiang Xuyu: "..."
Is he despised?
"You really trust her." Jiang Xuyu said a little depressed.
Yan Guiqiu had the word "nonsense" written all over his face, but he looked at Jiang Xuyu in surprise: "I don't believe who my girlfriend believes in, do you?"
Jiang Xuyu, who was disliked for the second time: "..."
Jiang Xuehe smiled, and said from the side: "Let's go together, we just happened to go to a farmhouse on the outskirts of the city to have dinner together in the evening, I'll call and reserve a table later, so as to save a detour when I can."
Yan Guiqiu nodded.
Jiang Xuyu followed them and interjected: "Don't be so hostile to me, I don't like women and I don't object to your dating. On the contrary, I think it might save a lot of trouble for you to get married and get a certificate earlier."
Yan Guiqiu asked, "Why?"
Jiang Xuyu said: "You should already know that she has a very troublesome mother, and their family hates homosexuality extremely - except for your girlfriend, and to be honest, you have a good family background..."
He paused as he spoke, glanced at Jiang Xuehe, and saw that she was not angry, so he continued.
"In case her mother or her brother takes a fancy to you, they will probably pick you up in the name of visiting Xuehe."
Yan Guiqiu:? ? ?
Jiang Xuyu then added another sentence: "So I suggest that you get married early, completely cutting off the possibility of all their thoughts."
Until being pushed into the car by Jiang Xuehe, Yan Guiqiu was still shocked and dazed——
Just now, she was worried that if Mrs. Jiang kept pestering her for A Luan's contact information and asked her to connect A Luan and Jiang Xueyang, how would it be most convenient to refuse.
Why did she become one of the targets in the blink of an eye?
But since Jiang Xuyu said that, it must not be groundless, and he must have imagined it out of thin air.
After Yan Guiqiu realized it, he subconsciously turned his head to look at Jiang Xuehe.
Jiang Xuyu said later: "This kind of thing has indeed happened before."
Jiang Xuehe added: "It's a former classmate of mine."
That was when Jiang Xuehe was still in college in China. A classmate in the class had a good family background, better than Jiang’s family, but he was more straightforward. On the first day of school, Jiang Xuehe helped him a little, and we have been in contact since then. , Gradually the relationship became good.
When Mrs. Jiang took her son to visit her daughter at school, she happened to bump into that classmate.
Jiang Xueyang likes that kind of small and exquisite appearance. When he first met him, he had a good impression, but it was only a little because of his appearance, and he didn't mention it much. Seeing that his son had some ideas, he encouraged him to chase someone.
Originally, free love is all about what you love and what you want. The elder brother fell in love with the younger sister's friend at first sight, so launching an offensive offensive is not a bad thing that can't be seen.
The problem is that the classmate has a boyfriend and got engaged when he first entered college, but because of the different places, he can't see each other often.
Jiang Xuehe was not sensitive to love affairs at that time, and she was still naive, because her mother and brother cared about her with the same enthusiasm as before, and she was a little happy in her heart, so she didn't think too badly.
As for the fact that her classmate had a boyfriend, she knew that her brother and mother knew about it from the very beginning.
Because when they met for the first time, it was a classmate who went out to get a big bouquet of red roses from her boyfriend who ordered takeaway.
When Jiang Xuehe went to pick up her elder brother and mother, she happened to be on the same road with her. When they met, they greeted each other and talked about the flowers that her classmate's fiancé gave her.
Mrs. Jiang still covered her mouth and laughed teasingly, saying that young people are really romantic.
Jiang Xuehe naturally didn't pay much attention to it, and only reminded him that he had a fiancé when his brother mentioned his classmate more often.
They didn't mention it much afterward, Jiang Xuehe thought he was thinking too much, and felt a little guilty.
But in fact they still didn't give up, and in the end they went over Jiang Xuehe and asked that classmate out in her name, but Jiang Xueyang was the only one present.
Jiang Xuehe was kept in the dark the whole time, until her classmate fired at her, and only then did she understand the cause and effect of the incident.
After returning, Mrs. Jiang preemptively blamed Jiang Xuehe for not thinking of her brother, and said that since she was not married anyway, everyone has the right to pursue true love.
But facing Jiang Xuehe's cold face, she also knew that she was wrong, and after bluffing for a long time, she covered her face and began to cry, as if Jiang Xuehe had bullied her.
Jiang's father stood on his wife's side for no reason, and turned around to lecture Jiang Xuehe again.
At that time, the relationship between the family had begun to become more and more tense, and that time was just one of the small episodes.
But countless episodes piled up, and gradually became a huge crack that was difficult to heal.
In the end, Jiang Xuehe made amends with that classmate, but also completely broke up with him. After that, Jiang Xuehe never mentioned a word about his friend at home.
Of course that was the only time.
Before Jiang Xuyu mentioned it, Jiang Xuehe didn't even think about it.
Firstly, the Yan family doesn't have much contact with the Jiang family, and Mrs. Jiang's eyes are still on the level of the Luan family, and secondly, she publicly said that Yan Guiqiu is her girlfriend. Needless to say, she should know that this is because she likes women not men's.
But Jiang Xueyang is actually not young anymore. The Yan family has been thriving these years, and the future head of the family will probably be a woman. In Madam Jiang's eyes, this is indeed a good target.
Moreover, they all have previous convictions.
Jiang Xuehe glanced at Jiang Xuyu through the rearview mirror, but did not poke his sore spot in front of him after all.
The location of the hotel was a bit remote, and the three of them had nothing to say in the second half of the journey, and went downstairs to the hotel in silence.
Jiang Xuyu got out of the car and said that he wanted to go back and take a shower first, and if they were bored, he could go shopping around first.
However, the surrounding area was a wasteland, and the only shopping mall building was still pitch-black, with the door closed tightly, and even a neat and clean signboard could not be seen.
So the two could only wait in the parking lot.
What Jiang Xuyu meant was obvious, he hoped that Yan Guiqiu would not have any expectations for Jiang's family, but instead should be vigilant.
Jiang Xuehe didn't think that Yan Guiqiu needed to be so close to the enemy, but thinking about the future, he didn't think there was any harm in asking her to find out in advance.
This bad debt of their family will be settled sooner or later.
Jiang Xuehe stroked Yan Guiqiu's hair a little boredly, and told her about Jiang Xuyu in a low voice.
Jiang Xuyu likes men.
This was also one of the reasons why he had conflicts with Jiang Xueyang.
Jiang Xuyu knew very early on that he had a problem with his sexuality, but he kept it a secret. Apart from never being in a relationship, there seemed to be nothing abnormal about him.
At that time, same-sex marriage was not yet legal, and the Jiang family was more traditional. He knew that it would not be good to talk about such things, so he always avoided talking about these things.
He is three years older than Jiang Xuehe, and about the same age as Jiang Xueyang.
Jiang Xuehe entered the university for a year, and then joined the company. He just graduated, so naturally he also joined the Jiang family's company.
Among the younger generation of the Jiang family, apart from Jiang Xuehe, Jiang Xuyu was the most talented.
However, he is a little farther from the direct lineage of Jiang Xueyang and Jiang Xuehe, and basically has nothing to do with the right of inheritance. Certain leaders naturally wish that he could be as capable as possible.
But Jiang Xueyang was about the same age as him, and had joined the company earlier, but Jiang Xuyu was ahead of him, so he was always a little upset.
Later, at a meeting of the younger generation in the company, Jiang Xuyu was given too much alcohol. It happened that the interns in the same group were interested in him again.
Originally, things can be big or small, just talking nonsense after drinking can pass.
But Jiang Xueyang felt that he had caught Jiang Xuyu's handle, and the video and audio recordings were all available. The next morning, everyone in the company knew about Jiang Xuyu's sexuality problem.
Later, Jiang's family at the top called Jiang Xuyu for questioning.
Jiang Xuyu had a guilty conscience, and Jiang Xueyang fanned the flames beside him——
This time Jiang Xueyang was not entirely out of jealousy, but really disdainful of homosexuality, and when he was able to speak, he derogated these three words from beginning to end, as if it was an incurable disease.
Jiang Xueyang felt that it was extremely embarrassing for the company to hire a homosexual as a supervisor, which would greatly affect the company's image, so he suggested that Jiang Xuyu be fired directly and never hired, so as to warn the company to avoid similar scandals in the future Come.
At that time, the debate on homosexuality in the outside world almost reached its peak, with half supporting and half opposing, causing a great uproar. Some companies used this to specifically hire homosexuals to promote their "newness" and tolerance, but at the same time, some traditional companies were afraid of getting into trouble. Simply reject it.
Those disputes are actually very far away from the lives of ordinary people, but in the Internet age, when we see them a lot, people will inevitably be biased.
Jiang Xueyang showed those extreme remarks to the higher-ups, which made people feel that the situation was serious. In the end, after several discussions, Jiang Xuyu was actually fired.
The little intern was naturally not spared either.
Jiang Xuyu himself is not difficult to pursue other than his ambitions. After all, his family is rich. Even if he doesn't go out to work, he can just find a place to cat, and he can eat and drink for a lifetime.
But not the little intern.
What was originally just a private confession was widely publicized, and the shameless face was the second. After being fired by Jiang, other companies did not dare to use him. Coupled with those scolding, he soon suffered from depression.
Although Jiang Xuyu didn't have feelings for him, the incident was caused by him after all, and he felt guilty. He secretly gave some financial support in private, and found contacts to make connections, and stuffed him into a decent company in a neighboring city.
It was almost here that Jiang Xuyu and Jiang Xueyang officially became enemies.
At that time, Jiang Xuehe had only joined the company not long ago, but most of the time she usually studied with Mr. Jiang. When the trouble broke out in the company, she was on a business trip abroad with her grandfather. After returning, everything was settled.
The people below reported the matter to Mr. Jiang. They thought it was not a big deal, and Mr. Jiang didn't have any objections——
He is a member of the older generation, and he still has an attitude towards homosexuality towards some kind of disease. He thinks it is not a bad thing to ask Jiang Xuyu to go back to calm down and sharpen his spirits.
Capable people will never really be buried.
But Jiang Xuehe said that Jiang Xuyu should be invited back.
There are many reasons, and there are three main ones. One is the most important. Jiang Xuyu has strong work ability. He has been in the company for less than two years, and his boss and subordinates have already convinced him of his ability. Second, dismissing Jiang Xuyu because of this kind of thing will make people I feel that the company's stance is not firm and is easily influenced by public opinion. Who knows if the intention to not have children will be labeled as a crime next time, which will inevitably chill the hearts of employees.The third is that at that time, she felt that the same-sex marriage law would eventually be passed, and the old stories would be exposed by then, which would damage the company's image.
Mr. Jiang finally said that she was in charge, but she was also fully responsible.
The implication is that even if there are any adverse effects in the future, she must bear it all.
Without even hesitating, Jiang Xuehe called Jiang Xuyu back and put him under his hands.
Not long after that, the disputes and scolding wars on the Internet gradually subsided, and the voices of normal people took over the mainstream, with some in favor and some against, but they could also discuss the pros and cons calmly.
No one in the company deliberately brought up Jiang Xuyu's affairs, and those incidents gradually passed. In addition, Jiang Xuyu's outstanding ability and achievements made people really admire him.
Later, Jiang Xuehe left the company to go abroad and was replaced by Jiang Xueyang. There were still people waiting to see the excitement between the two of them, but they didn't expect Jiang Xuyu to pat his ass and leave, and set up another company.
Although they are still not on par with the Jiang family, they have made some achievements after working hard over the years.
Others only know that Jiang Xuehe and Jiang Xuyu have a good relationship, but not many people know that they have some business contacts in private.
To some extent, even after leaving the Jiang family, Jiang Xuyu still worked for Jiang Xuehe.
However, Jiang Xuyu recognized Jiang Xuehe's ability, even if he helped her, he would be happy.
Of course, there are also some people who want to watch the excitement.
Since Jiang Xuehe went abroad, he basically counted the days, looking forward to Jiang Xuehe's early return all year long, and slapped her brother hard in the face.
——It's no wonder Jiang Xuyu is so devoted to Jiang Xuehe.
Yan Guiqiu listened to it like a story, but she didn't feel much reality. In her previous life, the same-sex marriage law in the world had no shadow at all. In this life, she never thought that she would like women, and she didn't even have any interest in love and marriage. Naturally, I didn't pay too much attention, so I didn't have much experience.
But this time she was a little relieved.
With someone able to help Jiang Xuehe in this way, she was not too worried that she was working too hard alone.
"It looks like we're lucky." Yan Guiqiu finally sighed.
"Yeah." Jiang Xuehe smiled, "Perhaps this is fate destined by heaven."
Yan Guiqiu blinked, remembering the conversation about fate when they first met.
In fact, it hasn't been long since they officially met.
But with the blink of an eye, it seemed that half of my life was almost in the past.
She could hardly remember how she got here when she was alone.
"Then the Jiang family..." Yan Guiqiu pondered what Jiang Xuehe meant, "What are you thinking now?"
"Grandpa recently had an idea to open a new branch near Yunhua City." Jiang Xuehe said, "I want to win over."
"Oh." Of course Yan Guiqiu had no objection, but thinking about the Jiang family, he was a little worried, "I'm afraid it will not be easy now."
In the plot, Jiang Xuehe's superiority is swift and swift, mainly because Jiang Xueyang made a mistake.
But now that Jiang Xueyang is still doing his job honestly, and Jiang Xuehe has been away for so long, and wants to get another share of the pie, that side will never sit idly by like this.
"It's up to people." Jiang Xuehe wasn't too worried. She stroked Yan Guiqiu's hair and said slowly, "Actually, it didn't matter that those things were left to them. Grandpa made a will long ago. They are Jiang As a member of the family, it is natural to inherit part of the inheritance, but..."
She looked into Yan Guiqiu's eyes, as if afraid of scaring her, her voice subconsciously softened.
"When I realized that they could take advantage of things that hurt what I really cared about, I suddenly felt that there was no room for them."
Yan Guiqiu suddenly forgot what he wanted to say before.
As the older one in biological age, Jiang Xuehe also behaved calmly and gentlely in line with his age on weekdays, and it was the first time that he pretended to be pitiful.
but……
Also cute.
Yan Guiqiu stretched out his hand to cover his darling, shamefully feeling a little cute.
She could only nod her head repeatedly.
Before she had time to say anything, she heard a sudden "poof" from the entrance of the alley.
Then there was the coughing sound of choking on saliva.
Jiang Xuehe's face darkened instantly, and he turned his head to take a look.
The earth-shattering cough stopped instantly.
Yan Guiqiu looked up and saw a man standing against the light, judging from his figure and clothes, he should be a young man.
He seemed to be an acquaintance of Jiang Xuehe.
"Is it funny?" Jiang Xuehe asked gently.
"Well, it's a little—" The man stopped the car in time, and his tone turned 180 degrees, but he still didn't stop his mouth, "—it's scary."
Jiang Xuehe: "..."
She twitched the corners of her mouth, revealing an insincere smile, the man trembled undetectably, subconsciously closed his mouth, turned his eyes around and stopped on Yan Guiqiu, his eagerness was visible to the naked eye point.
"This is Ms. Yan, I have admired her name for a long time, I have admired her name for a long time." The young man came over with a few steps, and barely grabbed Yan Guiqiu's hand and shook it back and forth a few times.
Yan Guiqiu finally saw his face clearly——
In his twenties, he looks older than Jiang Xuehe. He is wearing a gray sportswear that looks like he just ran out of some senior activity center or square dance center, but his hair has been carefully groomed. With a row of shiny silver rings.
I don't know whether it should be called non-mainstream, or... simply weird.
Yan Guiqiu looked at him, then at Jiang Xuehe, and then turned back to look at the young man.
The two of them still look a little bit alike.
"My name is Jiang Xuyu." The young man introduced himself excitedly.
"It's my cousin." Jiang Xuehe added, glanced at him, and added, "Occasionally I'm a little out of tune, don't mind."
Oh, in the plot, Jiang Xuehe is one of the most powerful assistants when he fights for family property.
Yan Guiqiu reacted.
Should it be said that Jiang Xuehe is worthy, this kind of talent can be controlled.
Yan Guiqiu couldn't help being awed.
Probably because he realized that he was dressed in an unsuitable way, so Jiang Xuyu explained it on purpose.
"I just came out of an activity center for the elderly in the city center. I played a set of Tai Chi with my uncle, and went for a run by the river. My clothes were sent to the hotel, and I haven't had time to change them yet."
Yan Guiqiu: "..."
Yan Guiqiu: "Oh."
It turned out to be an activity center for the elderly.
The first impression was deeply ingrained, and Jiang Xuyu saw the complex expression on her face, so he was silent for a moment, glanced at Jiang Xuehe, and explained a few more sentences.
"Our company is currently making intelligent products for the elderly, and we plan to open a branch in Yunhua City later, so come and investigate in advance."
He originally arrived in Yunhua City in the morning, but after arriving here, Jiang Xuehe said that she had something to do, so he could only find something for himself first.
Although he also brought people here, he still feels more at ease when he is used to doing things himself.
The restaurant where Jiang Xuehe took Yan Guiqiu to eat happened to be newly opened near the gallery, and Jiang Xuyu was about to visit his cousin's place after he was busy, so he happened to bump into it.
With the disturbance from outsiders, Jiang Xuehe and Yan Guiqiu naturally lost the mood to play around, and led Jiang Xuyu to the gallery first.
"Didn't you say to come back next week?" Jiang Xuehe dug out the desserts in the cupboard to entertain his cousin.
Jiang Xuyu's taste is quite similar to Yan Guiqiu's, both of them especially like sweets.
Obviously the relationship between the two is really good, Jiang Xuyu was not polite at all, he picked the most expensive and least expensive box of biscuits and opened it.
"Old Zhao's family has something to ask for leave next week - just the great god that our company has newly dug up. Why don't you take him to see the future workplace this week." Jiang Xuyu said while biting a biscuit, "And next week you Brother is coming, do you know?"
"My brother?" Jiang Xuehe rescued a few bags of biscuits from the box he opened and stuffed them to Yan Guiqiu who was next to him. He was a little surprised when he heard this, "What is he here for?"
"It's not about the good things your mother did. I don't know where he heard that the little girl was so pitiful by his mother, and her innocence was gone. It happened that the old man was angry last time. He was anxious to show it, in front of the old man. In front of him... Oh, that's called a self-blame, saying that he must come to the door to apologize in person."
Jiang Xuyu rolled his eyes flamboyantly, his disgust was palpable: "You didn't see that, the old man was so angry, he thought he was doing well."
"..."
Jiang Xuehe couldn't help being silent for a moment, but she wasn't very surprised: "It seems like something he can do."
It's not that Jiang Xueyang is really bad, but when it comes to complimenting others, it's always easy to use too much force.
However, Mr. Jiang is a master of yin and yang, and you may not be able to hear him scolding you in front of his face. When the brothers and sisters went to visit their grandfather when they were young, Jiang Xueyang would take it seriously seven or eight times out of ten.
Now it seems that after growing up, Jiang Xueyang doesn't seem to have made much progress.
"Isn't it just that the old man told you to go back to eat, so he volunteered to pick you up on the way." Jiang Xuyu snorted coldly, "I don't want to bump into him, bad luck!"
Jiang Xuyu obviously had a lot of resentment towards Jiang Xueyang, and he didn't hesitate to complain in front of his own sister.
Yan Guiqiu sat on the side and listened with great interest, so he almost grabbed a handful of melon seeds and listened to Jiang Xueyang's embarrassing things over the years.
While listening, I also had a general understanding of Jiang Xueyang's specific image.
Jiang Xueyang is a no-debt and no-debt type in the company. He can handle everything the old man entrusts to him.
When others called him, it was still Young Master Jiang, because the old man didn't give up his seat, and he himself didn't have a good grade to achieve.
Probably because Jiang Xuehe, the biggest competitor, was absent, Jiang Xueyang lacked some motivation to move forward.
It's no wonder that the old man was so angry that he scolded Jiang Xuehe for not making progress——
If Jiang Xuehe was around, he would still bother to teach|teach those elms what to do.
But outside of the company, there are a lot of gossip about Jiang Xueyang. Madam Jiang loves to show off her son's filial piety and excellence. of.
Mrs. Jiang is not completely ignorant of those rumors, but she still enjoys it. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is to create the image of a perfect son so that he can find a good marriage partner.
It's a pity that Mrs. Jiang, who has a similar family background, doesn't like her, and she can't climb up to her even better.
Jiang Xueyang himself did not express his opinion. His mother asked him to meet the lady of the old family, so he went, and he did not know what kind of blind date he was talking about. Mrs. Jiang went to find the next one.
Mrs. Jiang is most worried about her son's lifelong event.
Jiang Xuyu brought these things up specifically, not just to make fun of the two of them, and at the end, he gave Yan Guiqiu a meaningful look.
"Your brother is [-] years old this year, other people's family can play soy sauce at this age, your mother only picks this year or two, and after that, she will accept her fate and choose from a similar family. .”
Yan Guiqiu's eyelids twitched when Jiang Xuyu saw it.
The kind of eyes that looked at the goods made her feel uncomfortable.
But the gloomy feeling was fleeting, and Jiang Xuyu himself seemed to be unhappy. He threw the last piece of broken biscuit into his mouth, turned away his face, and chewed it expressionlessly.
Yan Guiqiu felt Jiang Xuehe's hand gripping her wrist tightly, and then there was a deep voice: "I know. I won't."
"I hope." Jiang Xuyu came over for a while before turning his gaze back, with a playful smile again, "Forget it, let's not talk about those unlucky things. As the host, you two should treat me well when my brother comes back. Guest."
Jiang Xuehe patted the back of Yan Guiqiu's hand reassuringly, did not continue the vague topic, changed the subject cooperatively, and asked, "Where do you want to go?"
Jiang Xuyu thought for a moment and said, "Nursing homes, or community activity centers for the elderly."
"If you're okay, you can accompany me to the square to participate in the square dance for the elderly at night." He counted on his fingers and said, "I'm a big man, I'm really embarrassed."
Yan Guiqiu: "..."
"You still feel embarrassed?" Jiang Xuehe expressed Yan Guiqiu's heartfelt feelings. She looked at Jiang Xuyu's clothes up and down, and said, "I think you are quite enjoying it."
"No, I'm actually very embarrassed." Jiang Xuyu looked serious, "It's not that it's too far from the hotel, and I can't get a taxi, so I want to come to you."
Jiang Xuehe stared at him for a while, and finally couldn't bear to look directly at him and looked away: "I'll send you back to change your clothes first."
Yan Guiqiu guessed that they had something to say in private, so he sat in the same place and waved his hand to them: "You guys go, I'm a little tired after eating, just sit here and wait for you."
"Aren't you curious at all?" Jiang Xuyu leaned over to ask her instead.
"Curiosity about what?" Yan Guiqiu asked back.
"The matter between me and Xuehe." Jiang Xuyu said.
"Half and half." Yan Guiqiu stretched out his hand and gestured, "I'm only interested in Sister Xuehe's part. If you can tell me, Sister Xuehe will tell me in the future."
Jiang Xuyu: "..."
Is he despised?
"You really trust her." Jiang Xuyu said a little depressed.
Yan Guiqiu had the word "nonsense" written all over his face, but he looked at Jiang Xuyu in surprise: "I don't believe who my girlfriend believes in, do you?"
Jiang Xuyu, who was disliked for the second time: "..."
Jiang Xuehe smiled, and said from the side: "Let's go together, we just happened to go to a farmhouse on the outskirts of the city to have dinner together in the evening, I'll call and reserve a table later, so as to save a detour when I can."
Yan Guiqiu nodded.
Jiang Xuyu followed them and interjected: "Don't be so hostile to me, I don't like women and I don't object to your dating. On the contrary, I think it might save a lot of trouble for you to get married and get a certificate earlier."
Yan Guiqiu asked, "Why?"
Jiang Xuyu said: "You should already know that she has a very troublesome mother, and their family hates homosexuality extremely - except for your girlfriend, and to be honest, you have a good family background..."
He paused as he spoke, glanced at Jiang Xuehe, and saw that she was not angry, so he continued.
"In case her mother or her brother takes a fancy to you, they will probably pick you up in the name of visiting Xuehe."
Yan Guiqiu:? ? ?
Jiang Xuyu then added another sentence: "So I suggest that you get married early, completely cutting off the possibility of all their thoughts."
Until being pushed into the car by Jiang Xuehe, Yan Guiqiu was still shocked and dazed——
Just now, she was worried that if Mrs. Jiang kept pestering her for A Luan's contact information and asked her to connect A Luan and Jiang Xueyang, how would it be most convenient to refuse.
Why did she become one of the targets in the blink of an eye?
But since Jiang Xuyu said that, it must not be groundless, and he must have imagined it out of thin air.
After Yan Guiqiu realized it, he subconsciously turned his head to look at Jiang Xuehe.
Jiang Xuyu said later: "This kind of thing has indeed happened before."
Jiang Xuehe added: "It's a former classmate of mine."
That was when Jiang Xuehe was still in college in China. A classmate in the class had a good family background, better than Jiang’s family, but he was more straightforward. On the first day of school, Jiang Xuehe helped him a little, and we have been in contact since then. , Gradually the relationship became good.
When Mrs. Jiang took her son to visit her daughter at school, she happened to bump into that classmate.
Jiang Xueyang likes that kind of small and exquisite appearance. When he first met him, he had a good impression, but it was only a little because of his appearance, and he didn't mention it much. Seeing that his son had some ideas, he encouraged him to chase someone.
Originally, free love is all about what you love and what you want. The elder brother fell in love with the younger sister's friend at first sight, so launching an offensive offensive is not a bad thing that can't be seen.
The problem is that the classmate has a boyfriend and got engaged when he first entered college, but because of the different places, he can't see each other often.
Jiang Xuehe was not sensitive to love affairs at that time, and she was still naive, because her mother and brother cared about her with the same enthusiasm as before, and she was a little happy in her heart, so she didn't think too badly.
As for the fact that her classmate had a boyfriend, she knew that her brother and mother knew about it from the very beginning.
Because when they met for the first time, it was a classmate who went out to get a big bouquet of red roses from her boyfriend who ordered takeaway.
When Jiang Xuehe went to pick up her elder brother and mother, she happened to be on the same road with her. When they met, they greeted each other and talked about the flowers that her classmate's fiancé gave her.
Mrs. Jiang still covered her mouth and laughed teasingly, saying that young people are really romantic.
Jiang Xuehe naturally didn't pay much attention to it, and only reminded him that he had a fiancé when his brother mentioned his classmate more often.
They didn't mention it much afterward, Jiang Xuehe thought he was thinking too much, and felt a little guilty.
But in fact they still didn't give up, and in the end they went over Jiang Xuehe and asked that classmate out in her name, but Jiang Xueyang was the only one present.
Jiang Xuehe was kept in the dark the whole time, until her classmate fired at her, and only then did she understand the cause and effect of the incident.
After returning, Mrs. Jiang preemptively blamed Jiang Xuehe for not thinking of her brother, and said that since she was not married anyway, everyone has the right to pursue true love.
But facing Jiang Xuehe's cold face, she also knew that she was wrong, and after bluffing for a long time, she covered her face and began to cry, as if Jiang Xuehe had bullied her.
Jiang's father stood on his wife's side for no reason, and turned around to lecture Jiang Xuehe again.
At that time, the relationship between the family had begun to become more and more tense, and that time was just one of the small episodes.
But countless episodes piled up, and gradually became a huge crack that was difficult to heal.
In the end, Jiang Xuehe made amends with that classmate, but also completely broke up with him. After that, Jiang Xuehe never mentioned a word about his friend at home.
Of course that was the only time.
Before Jiang Xuyu mentioned it, Jiang Xuehe didn't even think about it.
Firstly, the Yan family doesn't have much contact with the Jiang family, and Mrs. Jiang's eyes are still on the level of the Luan family, and secondly, she publicly said that Yan Guiqiu is her girlfriend. Needless to say, she should know that this is because she likes women not men's.
But Jiang Xueyang is actually not young anymore. The Yan family has been thriving these years, and the future head of the family will probably be a woman. In Madam Jiang's eyes, this is indeed a good target.
Moreover, they all have previous convictions.
Jiang Xuehe glanced at Jiang Xuyu through the rearview mirror, but did not poke his sore spot in front of him after all.
The location of the hotel was a bit remote, and the three of them had nothing to say in the second half of the journey, and went downstairs to the hotel in silence.
Jiang Xuyu got out of the car and said that he wanted to go back and take a shower first, and if they were bored, he could go shopping around first.
However, the surrounding area was a wasteland, and the only shopping mall building was still pitch-black, with the door closed tightly, and even a neat and clean signboard could not be seen.
So the two could only wait in the parking lot.
What Jiang Xuyu meant was obvious, he hoped that Yan Guiqiu would not have any expectations for Jiang's family, but instead should be vigilant.
Jiang Xuehe didn't think that Yan Guiqiu needed to be so close to the enemy, but thinking about the future, he didn't think there was any harm in asking her to find out in advance.
This bad debt of their family will be settled sooner or later.
Jiang Xuehe stroked Yan Guiqiu's hair a little boredly, and told her about Jiang Xuyu in a low voice.
Jiang Xuyu likes men.
This was also one of the reasons why he had conflicts with Jiang Xueyang.
Jiang Xuyu knew very early on that he had a problem with his sexuality, but he kept it a secret. Apart from never being in a relationship, there seemed to be nothing abnormal about him.
At that time, same-sex marriage was not yet legal, and the Jiang family was more traditional. He knew that it would not be good to talk about such things, so he always avoided talking about these things.
He is three years older than Jiang Xuehe, and about the same age as Jiang Xueyang.
Jiang Xuehe entered the university for a year, and then joined the company. He just graduated, so naturally he also joined the Jiang family's company.
Among the younger generation of the Jiang family, apart from Jiang Xuehe, Jiang Xuyu was the most talented.
However, he is a little farther from the direct lineage of Jiang Xueyang and Jiang Xuehe, and basically has nothing to do with the right of inheritance. Certain leaders naturally wish that he could be as capable as possible.
But Jiang Xueyang was about the same age as him, and had joined the company earlier, but Jiang Xuyu was ahead of him, so he was always a little upset.
Later, at a meeting of the younger generation in the company, Jiang Xuyu was given too much alcohol. It happened that the interns in the same group were interested in him again.
Originally, things can be big or small, just talking nonsense after drinking can pass.
But Jiang Xueyang felt that he had caught Jiang Xuyu's handle, and the video and audio recordings were all available. The next morning, everyone in the company knew about Jiang Xuyu's sexuality problem.
Later, Jiang's family at the top called Jiang Xuyu for questioning.
Jiang Xuyu had a guilty conscience, and Jiang Xueyang fanned the flames beside him——
This time Jiang Xueyang was not entirely out of jealousy, but really disdainful of homosexuality, and when he was able to speak, he derogated these three words from beginning to end, as if it was an incurable disease.
Jiang Xueyang felt that it was extremely embarrassing for the company to hire a homosexual as a supervisor, which would greatly affect the company's image, so he suggested that Jiang Xuyu be fired directly and never hired, so as to warn the company to avoid similar scandals in the future Come.
At that time, the debate on homosexuality in the outside world almost reached its peak, with half supporting and half opposing, causing a great uproar. Some companies used this to specifically hire homosexuals to promote their "newness" and tolerance, but at the same time, some traditional companies were afraid of getting into trouble. Simply reject it.
Those disputes are actually very far away from the lives of ordinary people, but in the Internet age, when we see them a lot, people will inevitably be biased.
Jiang Xueyang showed those extreme remarks to the higher-ups, which made people feel that the situation was serious. In the end, after several discussions, Jiang Xuyu was actually fired.
The little intern was naturally not spared either.
Jiang Xuyu himself is not difficult to pursue other than his ambitions. After all, his family is rich. Even if he doesn't go out to work, he can just find a place to cat, and he can eat and drink for a lifetime.
But not the little intern.
What was originally just a private confession was widely publicized, and the shameless face was the second. After being fired by Jiang, other companies did not dare to use him. Coupled with those scolding, he soon suffered from depression.
Although Jiang Xuyu didn't have feelings for him, the incident was caused by him after all, and he felt guilty. He secretly gave some financial support in private, and found contacts to make connections, and stuffed him into a decent company in a neighboring city.
It was almost here that Jiang Xuyu and Jiang Xueyang officially became enemies.
At that time, Jiang Xuehe had only joined the company not long ago, but most of the time she usually studied with Mr. Jiang. When the trouble broke out in the company, she was on a business trip abroad with her grandfather. After returning, everything was settled.
The people below reported the matter to Mr. Jiang. They thought it was not a big deal, and Mr. Jiang didn't have any objections——
He is a member of the older generation, and he still has an attitude towards homosexuality towards some kind of disease. He thinks it is not a bad thing to ask Jiang Xuyu to go back to calm down and sharpen his spirits.
Capable people will never really be buried.
But Jiang Xuehe said that Jiang Xuyu should be invited back.
There are many reasons, and there are three main ones. One is the most important. Jiang Xuyu has strong work ability. He has been in the company for less than two years, and his boss and subordinates have already convinced him of his ability. Second, dismissing Jiang Xuyu because of this kind of thing will make people I feel that the company's stance is not firm and is easily influenced by public opinion. Who knows if the intention to not have children will be labeled as a crime next time, which will inevitably chill the hearts of employees.The third is that at that time, she felt that the same-sex marriage law would eventually be passed, and the old stories would be exposed by then, which would damage the company's image.
Mr. Jiang finally said that she was in charge, but she was also fully responsible.
The implication is that even if there are any adverse effects in the future, she must bear it all.
Without even hesitating, Jiang Xuehe called Jiang Xuyu back and put him under his hands.
Not long after that, the disputes and scolding wars on the Internet gradually subsided, and the voices of normal people took over the mainstream, with some in favor and some against, but they could also discuss the pros and cons calmly.
No one in the company deliberately brought up Jiang Xuyu's affairs, and those incidents gradually passed. In addition, Jiang Xuyu's outstanding ability and achievements made people really admire him.
Later, Jiang Xuehe left the company to go abroad and was replaced by Jiang Xueyang. There were still people waiting to see the excitement between the two of them, but they didn't expect Jiang Xuyu to pat his ass and leave, and set up another company.
Although they are still not on par with the Jiang family, they have made some achievements after working hard over the years.
Others only know that Jiang Xuehe and Jiang Xuyu have a good relationship, but not many people know that they have some business contacts in private.
To some extent, even after leaving the Jiang family, Jiang Xuyu still worked for Jiang Xuehe.
However, Jiang Xuyu recognized Jiang Xuehe's ability, even if he helped her, he would be happy.
Of course, there are also some people who want to watch the excitement.
Since Jiang Xuehe went abroad, he basically counted the days, looking forward to Jiang Xuehe's early return all year long, and slapped her brother hard in the face.
——It's no wonder Jiang Xuyu is so devoted to Jiang Xuehe.
Yan Guiqiu listened to it like a story, but she didn't feel much reality. In her previous life, the same-sex marriage law in the world had no shadow at all. In this life, she never thought that she would like women, and she didn't even have any interest in love and marriage. Naturally, I didn't pay too much attention, so I didn't have much experience.
But this time she was a little relieved.
With someone able to help Jiang Xuehe in this way, she was not too worried that she was working too hard alone.
"It looks like we're lucky." Yan Guiqiu finally sighed.
"Yeah." Jiang Xuehe smiled, "Perhaps this is fate destined by heaven."
Yan Guiqiu blinked, remembering the conversation about fate when they first met.
In fact, it hasn't been long since they officially met.
But with the blink of an eye, it seemed that half of my life was almost in the past.
She could hardly remember how she got here when she was alone.
"Then the Jiang family..." Yan Guiqiu pondered what Jiang Xuehe meant, "What are you thinking now?"
"Grandpa recently had an idea to open a new branch near Yunhua City." Jiang Xuehe said, "I want to win over."
"Oh." Of course Yan Guiqiu had no objection, but thinking about the Jiang family, he was a little worried, "I'm afraid it will not be easy now."
In the plot, Jiang Xuehe's superiority is swift and swift, mainly because Jiang Xueyang made a mistake.
But now that Jiang Xueyang is still doing his job honestly, and Jiang Xuehe has been away for so long, and wants to get another share of the pie, that side will never sit idly by like this.
"It's up to people." Jiang Xuehe wasn't too worried. She stroked Yan Guiqiu's hair and said slowly, "Actually, it didn't matter that those things were left to them. Grandpa made a will long ago. They are Jiang As a member of the family, it is natural to inherit part of the inheritance, but..."
She looked into Yan Guiqiu's eyes, as if afraid of scaring her, her voice subconsciously softened.
"When I realized that they could take advantage of things that hurt what I really cared about, I suddenly felt that there was no room for them."
