Chapter 493: Chapter 277_2

"Since your older brother has already stepped down, now it’s your turn to show your dad what you can achieve. Once you become the helmsman, you’ll naturally be able to control everything, including your own life. This is a great opportunity, you should focus on your career."

"Thank you, Jingxiu. I was planning on indulging myself these few days, but it looks like my holiday has to end early now. I’ve got to go, see you back home."

"See again."

"Say goodbye to Uncle Shen and Aunt Su for me."

"I will."

Watching Ji Yuanzhou stride away, Shen Jingxiu felt he should be relieved.

But his heart was stuck in a strange place, neither rising nor falling.

He wanted to ask himself a question.

Whether his opposition to Ji Yuanzhou pursuing Wenyan was really just because he feared Wenyan would end up getting hurt...

But he didn’t dare to ask, and he even avoided thinking about it.

Shen Jingxiu felt somewhat restless and turned to head back.

As he turned around, the first thing that caught his eye was a huge parasol.

He frowned.

When did this parasol get set up?

It wasn’t here when he and Ji Yuanzhou had arrived, was it?

How come he and Ji Yuanzhou hadn’t heard it being set up? Was it because their argument was too intense?

And underneath the parasol, there were two men lying down. They couldn’t have heard everything, could they?

Jingxiu and Ji Yuanzhou had purposely walked over here because they had noticed it was deserted.

While Shen Jingxiu was thinking all of this, one of the men wearing sunglasses under the parasol had already stood up.

"Hey, big brother, all done chatting?"

Shen Jingxiu: "......" He was speechless.

It was Shen Jingchuan!!!!

Shen Jingxiu took another look, and the other person lying under the parasol, if not Shen Jinghe, who else could it be?

It was really the two of them, Shen Jingxiu didn’t know what to feel.

"When did you guys get here?"

"We’ve been here for a while, though it’s hard to say exactly when." Shen Jingchuan thought for a moment and pointed to two empty beer cans on the beach, "See those two beer cans? I came over to buy some cold beer, and after finishing two bottles, you guys were done talking."

Shen Jingxiu: "...What buying beer? When exactly was this parasol set up?"

"Don’t know," said Shen Jingchuan with a shrug, "there was a teenager selling cold beer, he offered to rent me this parasol since our family’s was already full. I just rented it without thinking. At first, I didn’t even realize that the people talking in front of us were you and your friend until I heard you speaking Chinese."

"Actually, we didn’t mean to eavesdrop on your conversation with Ji Yuanzhou, but I heard Wenyan’s name. Big brother..." Shen Jingchuan looked seriously at Shen Jingxiu and was about to say something.

"No!" Shen Jingxiu interrupted before Shen Jingchuan could finish, "Wenyan is my sister, how could I have any inappropriate thoughts toward her."

"..." Shen Jingchuan was taken aback, "I know that, of course. I wanted to ask, is it true what Ji Yuanzhou’s dad said about Yulong? And that he had discussed it in front of you? And while Ji Yuanzhou feels for Wenyan, his dad doesn’t approve of her?"

"..." Shen Jingxiu’s temples throbbed.

So that was what Shen Jingchuan had been about to ask. Why had he answered before hearing the whole question? He shouldn’t have done that.

He nodded: "Yeah, that’s pretty much it."

"Pssh," Shen Jingchuan snorted disdainfully, "as if he doesn’t approve of Wenyan. I don’t even think Ji Yuanzhou is good enough for her. In my opinion, he doesn’t deserve either. As for them, the Ji Family, hoping to get Yulong, that’s even more difficult. They’ll have to see if the Qin Family even agrees."

"It’s not important anymore."

"Well, that’s true. You two have already settled it. He won’t be bothering Wenyan anymore, right?"

"Yeah."

"That’s so selfish. He’s a mess and still wants Wenyan to jump in. You did the right thing, such matters should be nipped in the bud. But even if you let him chase Wenyan, it’d be useless because Wenyan doesn’t like him at all."

"Alright," Shen Jingxiu didn’t want to talk about this anymore, "let’s leave it at that, and don’t bring it up in front of Wenyan either. There’s no need."

"Definitely won’t mention it!" Shen Jingchuan raised an eyebrow, "I’m certainly not going to help him get any attention from Wenyan. Shall we go? Didn’t we say we were going to build sandcastles?"
