Chapter 290 - 290 207 The Less You Know the Better

Chapter 290: Chapter 207: The Less You Know, the Better Chapter 290: Chapter 207: The Less You Know, the Better For a long time, Shen Jingxiu and Shen Jinghe, the two brothers, had not had a proper conversation like they had today.

Usually, it was Shen Jinghe with a cold face not speaking, or he would just turn around and leave.

But today he didn’t leave immediately; instead, he listened very seriously to what Shen Jingxiu was saying.

And after listening, he even replied calmly and evenly.

“Fine, since I’m not good at handling these kinds of events anyway, I won’t make things worse for you. But Jingchuan is right; the Fu Family is too arrogant. That Fu Anxian might not know Wenyan’s identity, but she and her upstart husband could not possibly be oblivious to who Shen Jingchuan is. The older generation was too conservative in managing the relationship between the two families, but times have changed, and for our generation, some so-called ‘face’ is no longer worth maintaining.”

“Exactly!” Mentioning Jingchuan made him angry, “Disgusting thing, dare to plot against me!”

Seeing him angrily pounding the sofa, Shen Jinghe couldn’t help but glance at him, “You should be more careful in the future.”

Shen Jingchuan glared at him, “Aren’t I careful enough? It’s impossible to guard against everything. Who would have thought that such an honest-looking person would be so full of malice?”

“That just shows you lack the skill to judge people and are still too naive.”

“???? You, with that mouth of yours, don’t even spare your own brother, do you? I just went through that ordeal; shouldn’t you be comforting me? When you were rescued as a kid, I even gave you my favorite toy, and you, that ungrateful jerk, just smashed it. If it weren’t for the fact that you were crying so pitifully, I would have strangled you.”

“…You have a bad memory, who was crying pitifully?”

“You were, Shen Jinghe! What, can’t admit it now?”

“Tch, what can’t I admit? But how can I admit to something that never happened?”

“How can it never have happened? You did cry. What are you being stubborn about? You were only a few years old; isn’t it normal to cry?”

“So you know it’s normal, so why are you making fun of me for it?”

“How is that making fun? I’m just stating facts.”

“…” Shen Jingxiu pinched the bridge of his nose, “Maybe I should leave for a bit and come back after you two finish your argument?”

“No need.” Shen Jinghe spoke before Shen Jingchuan had the chance, “I don’t get along with him; one word extra is too many. I’m going to my room to rest. By the way, big brother, you’re missing a cufflink.”

After speaking, Shen Jinghe headed up the stairs without looking back.

Shen Jingxiu stared at his retreating figure for a few seconds before turning his gaze to his own wrist.

Indeed, he had been careless; he hadn’t noticed the missing cufflink.

But just now…

“Whoa, big brother, did you hear that!” Shen Jingchuan plopped down next to Shen Jingxiu, “The second brother just called you ‘big brother’. It must’ve been ten, maybe twenty years since you last heard that from him.”

Shen Jingxiu raised an eyebrow: “Seems like it, I can’t quite remember. But it doesn’t matter much, does it? You haven’t called him ‘second brother’ in many years either.”

“Come on, big brother, you’re still trying to act all profound with me. Honestly, you must be pretty happy right now. Tsk tsk, your eyes and brows are all smiling.”

Shen Jingxiu frowned slightly: “Am I? I wouldn’t know.”

While denying it, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curved upwards.

“Look at you, still pretending!” Shen Jingchuan laughed, “It’s a shame I don’t have my phone on me, or I would definitely take a photo of you.”

Shen Jingxiu’s smile faded: “Since when did you become so fond of taking photos?”

“Caught it from Wenyan, she loves taking photos. She takes them everywhere we go, a set when she’s dressed nicely, another set when her makeup looks good, and even more when the scenery is nice.”

“Indeed. It sounds like you two have been to quite a few places together.”

“Not many, we’ve both been busy with work recently. But there’s always a little time if you make it. Speaking of which, big brother, you must not have taken a vacation in a long while, right?”

At the mention of a vacation, a tinge of weariness couldn’t help but seep into Shen Jingxiu’s expression.

“Yes, it has been a long time. Let’s go to my study; this isn’t the place for business talk.”

“Alright.” Shen Jingxiu’s study and Shen Jingchuan’s room were both on the second floor.

Before heading to the study, Shen Jingchuan went back to his room.

He changed into a set of home clothes and also took out a spare phone.

After turning on the phone, he immediately logged into WeChat and sent a message to Wenyan.

‘Extra, extra! Just now the second brother finally acknowledged the big brother, the proud tsundere dared to face big brother directly!’
