Chapter 115: Is Second Brother Jealous?
Wen Yan: "..."
Although she couldn't find the memories of her original body now, she did know someone named Qiao Kexin during her university years.
"Could it be someone named Qiao Kexin?"
"How could I remember so clearly? But at that time, you cried and said you would repay me when you had money. But when your older sister encountered difficulties, you came to me for help. I won't let you repay a mere 10 million. So, you said that if I ever needed money in the future, I should come to you. I think that should be considered a promise from you to me."
"But in those years, although I encountered some financial difficulties, I never asked you for help. This time... sigh! I was really at my wits' end... But who knew you would deny it, I was really..."
"... Ah, don't say that," Wen Yan empathized with Shen Jingchuan and felt that she had been too harsh when she rejected him that night.
"You also know that I'm not denying it on purpose, but I don't remember. If I remembered, I definitely wouldn't deny it. But one thing is true, I don't have 10 million now."
"I know!" Seeing Wen Yan blaming herself, Shen Jingchuan couldn't help but rub her head, "I was impulsive at that time too. You don't have to worry about me. I can come up with the money. Here, eat your squid!"
Wen Yan took the squid and took two bites before asking, "What did Mom mean when she said we had conflicts in the past?"
"Um..." Shen Jingchuan, who was just talking confidently earlier, suddenly became evasive, "Forget about it, there's nothing to say."
Wen Yan: ‘??? Something's not right with him.’
After thinking carefully, Wen Yan asked again, "If we had conflicts in the past, it was because you made a mistake, right?"
"You can't do that, Shen Jingchuan. You explained the 'debt' clearly, making me feel guilty. Why are you hesitant to talk about our conflicts? Speak up, or I'll eliminate you!"
Wen Yan held the half-eaten squid skewer at Shen Jingchuan, with a serious expression on her face.
"Childish!" Shen Jingchuan pushed her arm aside, amused. "Why are you like a three-year-old?"
"I'm happy! Will you tell me?"
"Yes! Why can't I say it? What else could it be? It was because of that fake back then. Actually, it wasn't really my fault, but I feel guilty now that I think about it. We had conflicts because of a fake, but neither of us knew she was a fake."
Wen Yan nodded and curiously asked, "So what exactly happened?"
"You forced me to take sides. At that time, you were arguing with the fake, and it seemed like you were being unreasonable to others. Think about it, at that time, none of us knew she was a fake. Although you were my nominal sister, we didn't have any blood relation."
"You, someone without any blood relation to me, demanded that I fight against my biological sister with you, and of course I couldn't agree. So we parted ways."
"After that, we didn't talk much. The last time we saw each other was at Mom's birthday party, and we didn't even look at each other."
"But later, after knowing the truth, I regretted it. I regret not communicating with you properly back then. If I had gotten more details about that fake from you earlier, maybe we could have exposed her a few years earlier."
"I see... Ah!" Wen Yan sighed, "Speaking of that dark history, I was also a victim of the fake. She was really good at pretending, and I was forced at that time."
"I know. So... come, let your brother toast you. Let's forget about the past and make peace!"
"Okay! I agree to make peace."
That night, Shen Jingchuan opened up his heart to Wen Yan.
Wen Yan thanked him for his sincerity, but unfortunately, she couldn't easily reveal her secret.
On the way back, Wen Yan suddenly said to Shen Jingchuan, who was driving, "How about I calculate my money and give you a portion back? Although it's not enough for 10 million, I can still contribute some."
Shen Jingchuan turned his head and smiled at Wen Yan.
"Let's forget about it. Keep the money for yourself. I see that you don't even have an assistant. Even I, an outsider in the entertainment industry, have a manager to pick me up for recording. What's going on with you? No agency, no manager? The family doesn't offer to help?"
"That's not it. Mom and Second Brother offered to help, but I refused. I wanted to try on my own first. But now I realize the downsides of doing things alone, so I might consider finding an assistant. But I don't plan on signing with anyone else. I want to be my own boss."
"You have ambition! Truly worthy of being my, Shen Jingchuan’s sister! But being your own boss also requires spending money and paying salaries to your subordinates. So, keep your money for yourself."
Shen Jingchuan refused to accept Wen Yan's money, and she didn't say anything else.
When they got back, Wen Yan washed up and went to sleep.
She slept until the next morning, when she woke up hungry.
By the time she woke up, it was already past the usual mealtime at home.
Lately, because she was quite tired, Su Yang specially told her not to have breakfast with the family, and she had developed a habit of it.
However, when Wen Yan went downstairs to find something to eat, she noticed that it wasn't just her who woke up late, but Shen Jinghe as well.
Because this guy was also looking for something to eat.
In the end, the two of them each grabbed a sandwich and sat at the dining table, nibbling away.
"By the way," Wen Yan asked Shen Jinghe, "Why is the house so quiet? Do you know what everyone is doing?"
Shen Jinghe, looking like he hadn't fully woken up, replied, "It seems like you slept really soundly. The sound of someone driving in the morning was so loud, didn't it wake you up?"
Wen Yan didn't know who 'someone' was.
But Wen Yan knew who the person with the loud car sound was.
She saw Shen Jinghe holding a glass of milk and sat next to him, smiling and asking, "Who is this 'someone'? Why can't you stand this 'someone'? Please tell me your story."
Shen Jinghe clicked his tongue, "Your relationship with 'someone' is very good, why are you asking me? Wouldn't it be more direct to ask him?"
"...!"
Wen Yan blinked her eyes: ‘No way, Shen Jinghe's tone... could it be that he's jealous? Is he jealous of Shen Jingchuan and my good relationship?’
Shen Jinghe: "???!!!" What the heck? How is that possible! Nonsense!
"You eat slowly," Shen Jinghe said, taking a gulp of the remaining milk in his cup. "I'm full."
"Don't leave!" Wen Yan quickly got up. "Don't leave, Second Brother, I still have something serious to ask you!”
