Sheng Miaomiao was still hesitant. Jiang Niansheng told her, “That’s the secret about men. They are not as complicated as you think. Go forth and make me proud, my disciple!”
“Sister-in-law, did you take down my brother using this method?”
“He… he fell in love with me at first sight.”
Sheng Miaomiao asked again, “Is my brother also that shallow?”
“Is your brother a man?”
“Of course he is.”
“There you have it.” Jiang Niansheng patted her shoulder and said earnestly, “Men are all shallow.”
Sheng Miaomiao nodded, not fully understanding.
“Go and get ready.” Jiang Niansheng said, “I wish you success. But if it fails, I have more tricks.”
Jiang Niansheng caught up with Gu Yanzhou with light steps and they went to the R & D Department.
Compared to when she was just a secretary, Jiang Niansheng was definitely more serious here. She wanted to show her value in the field she loved! She had to prove that she had the ability, and she didn’t need to rely on no man!
…
Sheng Hanye stood in front of the French window with one hand in his pocket in the President’s office. He tilted his head slightly and listened to Wei Lian’s report.
“CEO Sheng, Flying Feather just sent an email with… detailed information about the Jiang family.”
“Go on.”
“Madam is the second daughter of the Jiang family. She won many prizes in dance and piano. The Jiang family raised her with the standard of a young lady. She studied in an international school. When she was in university, Madam fell ill and had to go to the hospital often.”
“Hospital?” Sheng Hanye interrupted him. “For what kind of illness?”
“I can’t find any medical records.”
“What?”
Wei Lian answered, “It’s not part of the email. If Flying Feather found it, they would have included it.”
Sheng Hanye frowned. “Continue.”
“Madam’s condition worsened and after her graduation, she stayed at home to recuperate and rarely show up in public, until… the Jiang family went bankrupt and Young Master Jiang was hospitalized. CEO Sheng, you know the rest.”
It seemed there was nothing strange about Jiang Niansheng’s life. It was typical of the daughter of a rich family.
Sheng Hanye waved his hand. Wei Lian bowed slightly and quietly left.
Sheng Hanye frowned as he took in the skyscrapers down the distance. There was a trace of stubborn hope in his heart. He wanted to connect Wen Wan and Jiang Niansheng even though when he saw Jiang Niansheng for the first time at the operating room, he already knew she wasn’t Wen Wan.
However, he still instructed Wei Lian to help her. He couldn’t ignore that face. How could there be two people who were so similar in this world?
Sheng Hanye never heard Wen Wan had a twin sister. Neither did her best friend, Xia Caiwei.
While he was contemplating, he heard slow footsteps coming from behind him.
He turned around, and a look of surprise appeared on his handsome face. “Grandpa?”
Elder Sheng walked to the sofa with his walking stick. “Why? Am I not allowed to come to the company?”
“No. It’s just that Grandpa hasn’t been to the company for a long time already.”
“Because I have nothing to worry about when you’re in charge.” Elder Sheng said, “I was passing by so I thought to drop in.”
Sheng Hanye sat down across from him. He didn’t believe his grandfather just happened to be passing by. Sheng Hanye didn’t say anything and pour him a cup of tea.
Elder Sheng looked around. “You’re the only one here?”
“Grandpa, this is my office, who else would be here?”
“I heard that you brought that girl, Niansheng, to the company as your secretary.” Elder Sheng asked. “Is that true?”
“Yes.”
“What are you doing? She’s your wife. What she needs to do is to blend in with the socialites of Nan City. Go have afternoon teas or something. She’s not to be your secretary.”
Sheng Hanye said plainly, “She doesn’t like to socialize.”
“But that is the responsibility of Sheng family’s eldest madam.”
“Grandpa, the secretary post is only in name. Jiang Niansheng has actually proven quite useful to the company.”
Elder Sheng’s interest was piqued. “What do you mean?”
“She’s a talented perfumer.” Sheng Hanye answered. “Gu Yanzhou has great praises for her.”
“She’s that talented?”
“Yes.” Sheng Hanye nodded. “When the perfume is on the market, I’ll send one to grandpa.”
Elder Sheng waved his hands. “That won’t be necessary. If she can help with research and development, then let her be. But you’re already married, it’s time to consider your lineage.”
‘So that’s why grandpa’s here.’
Sheng Hanye nodded along as he picked up his phone to send a message to Jiang Niansheng. “Come back now.”
Jiang Niansheng reluctantly rushed back to the President’s office.
“Why did you summon me back?” She groused as she entered. “I was at the R & D Department… Oh, Grandpa, I didn’t know you’re here!”
Elder Sheng nodded.
Jiang Niangsheng’s expression immediately changed. She smiled sweetly and warmly. “Grandpa, you have to stay at home to enjoy your retirement, why would trouble yourself to come to the company. With hubby around, you won’t have anything to worry about!”
“You girls do have a sweet mouth. You’re just like Miaomiao.” Elder Sheng smiled.
“But I was being serious.”
Jiang Niansheng sat down next to Sheng Hanye. In order to demonstrate the deep love between husband and wife, she held his arm and rested her head on his shoulder.
Elder Sheng was very pleased to see this.
Sheng Hanye’s heart rippled. If only she could be this meek all the time. Which man wouldn’t fall for it?
“Good, good!” Elder Sheng chuckled. “I’m glad to see you two are so close. I can’t wait to see my great-grandchild!”
Jiang Niansheng’s smile froze.
‘What? A great-grandchild? He is here to urge us to have a child?’
Before she could react, Sheng Hanye put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her into his arms. “Grandpa, don’t worry. You won’t need to wait for long.”
Jiang Niansheng turned to look at him. ‘What did he just say? Not to worry? Since when I did agree to have a child with him? Who the hell want to have a child with him?’
“Then I’ll wait for the good news from the two of you.” Elder Sheng smiled. “I expect some movement in the belly this year!”
“Yes.”
Jiang Niansheng squeezed out a smile. “Grandpa, this… We need to leave this up to fate. It’s not a job where you can set a time.”
“Why not? You and Hanye are both healthy and young. As long as you’re willing, getting pregnant shouldn’t be a problem.”
“Grandpa is right.” Sheng Hanye smiled. “I’ll work hard.”
Jiang Niansheng could not smile anymore. She secretly pinched his arm hard.
‘What is he saying? He’s really expecting me to give him a child?’
Sheng Hanye held her hand and looked into her eyes.. “Mrs. Sheng, why don’t we start tonight?”
