237: Chapter 237 Brother-in-law~

Once they started eating, Zhao Yumei and Sun Na enthusiastically kept serving Lin Wanxing food, fussing over her with concern. Occasionally, they would cautiously probe Jiang Ye with some trivial questions, such as what Shengtians were worth visiting in Sheng Tian.

Wanxing seemed somewhat at a loss with this sudden "familial warmth," responding rather reluctantly. Most of the time, she just ate silently while keeping a close eye on Jiang Ye out of the corner of her eye, wondering what kind of trouble he was going to stir up next.

After three rounds of wine and five courses of food.

Jiang Ye's phone on the table suddenly rang, and the private room immediately fell silent.

Wanxing instinctively glanced at the screen, immediately put down her chopsticks, and pricked up her ears.

The name flashing on the screen was none other than—"Confidential Secretary to the CEO's Office · Su Ning."

Jiang Ye elegantly wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue, picked up the phone, and frowned at the screen, appearing somewhat displeased at being interrupted.

"Everyone, excuse me for a moment, I need to take this call."

After saying that, he stood up and left the private room.

Seeing Jiang Ye leave, Wanxing hesitated for a moment, also wanting to follow him out to see if she could get a head start on the "plot."

"Sit down!"

Zhao Yumei immediately glared at her and scolded in a low voice, "What do you think you're doing? When a man is talking business, what is a woman doing meddling? Do you have no manners? Is this something for you, a young mistress, to be worrying about?"

She snorted, turned to Sun Na, and gave her a look. "Nana, you go. See if that bitch named Ye is pestering him again. Be smart about it!"

"..."

Sun Na looked at Zhao Yumei, then at the helpless Wanxing. She nodded wordlessly and stood up to follow him out... Jiang Ye hadn't gone far; he was standing by the sinks outside the private room, fixing his hair in the mirror while answering the phone.

Sun Na quietly hid behind the wall at the corner of the corridor, holding her breath to eavesdrop.

Su Ning's voice came through the receiver: "President Jiang, is it convenient for you to talk now?"

Jiang Ye caught a glimpse of a small piece of clothing peeking out from behind the wall in the mirror, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly. "It's convenient, go ahead."

Su Ning: "Ah, Big Brother, I've finished buying my ticket. I'm taking the train home on the afternoon of the 5th."

Jiang Ye's eyebrows shot up, and his tone became serious. "So early? Why are the people from Samsung coming so early? Isn't the group's charity gala scheduled for the 16th?"

Su Ning on the other end of the line was clearly stunned. "Ah? Big Brother, what are you saying... Oh! Oh oh oh! Is... is someone eavesdropping?"

Jiang Ye: "...Mm."

Su Ning: "Oh oh, then be careful... I know the 16th is New Year's, but my mom insisted I come back early. It really has been a long time since I've been home, so I wanted to leave earlier to spend more time with them."

Jiang Ye: "Then when does their delegation return to Korea after the New Year? Has the schedule been set?"

Su Ning: "Me? I'll probably be back around the sixth day of the New Year? That should be about right."

Jiang Ye: "Where are they coming from?"

Su Ning: "Are you asking about my home? My home is in Shijiazhuang."

Jiang Ye: "Oh, Seoul, right? Okay, I understand. Have the CEO's office handle their round-trip itinerary. Arrange for first-class for the whole journey, and book the hotels according to the highest standards. Consider it a thank you for Samsung's full cooperation on several of the group's major projects this year."

Su Ning was instantly delighted, almost laughing out loud. "Ah? First-class both ways? President Jiang, will this money... be reimbursed by the group?"

Jiang Ye: "Yes, have the Business Department make the arrangements."

Su Ning: "Ahhh, long live Big Brother~~ Love you, mwah!"

Jiang Ye suppressed a laugh and maintained a serious tone: "Mm... Is there anything else?"

Su Ning: "Uh... there's one more thing, it's... that..."

Jiang Ye: "Just say it."

Su Ning lowered her voice, her tone becoming coy. "It's... on Valentine's Day the 14th, the department insisted on some CP event and forced me to participate... I don't know how to tell my 'Big Brother' about this... Can you... can you give me some advice..."

Jiang Ye: "..."

Jiang Ye: "Don't come to me with such trivial matters, figure it out yourself."

Su Ning: "!!!"

Putting away his phone, Jiang Ye unhurriedly washed his hands. Seeing through the mirror that the slender arm was still behind the wall, he chuckled and said:

"Come out, Miss Sun."

Sun Na knew she had been discovered. She giggled and stepped out from behind the wall, playfully sticking out her tongue:

"Brother-in-law, you caught me~"

Jiang Ye casually shook the water droplets off his hands. "Looking for me?"

Sun Na blinked, stepped forward, pulled a few tissues from the box, and very "thoughtfully" helped him wipe the remaining water from his hands.

Her movements were gentle, her fingertips brushing over the back of Jiang Ye's hands and palms time and again, seemingly by accident, bringing a series of subtle sensations.

"It's nothing, I just happened to want to use the restroom too. I saw Brother-in-law on the phone and was afraid of disturbing your business talk."

Jiang Ye felt her movements, smiled, and his gaze landed on her lowered eyelashes:

"Miss Sun is indeed sensible and polite. Compared to your boyfriend and his mother... well, you seem much more discreet."

The smile on Sun Na's face grew sweeter, and her movements became even more "meticulous," almost turning into a gentle caress:

"As long as Brother-in-law likes it~ Nana will always be this sensible."

Jiang Ye's eyes crinkled. He turned his hand and lightly squeezed hers, then quickly let go, as if it were just an unintentional gesture.

"They're wiped clean, that's enough, they're dry. Thank you, Miss Sun."

Sun Na felt that brief but suggestive pressure. A flash of triumph crossed her eyes, and she took the opportunity to say:

"Brother-in-law doesn't need to be so polite. Isn't it only natural for a sister-in-law to help her brother-in-law..."

She paused, observing Jiang Ye's expression, and lowered her voice slightly. "Brother-in-law... tonight... are you free?"

Jiang Ye, who was about to turn and leave, paused in his tracks. "Something the matter?"

Sun Na let out a sigh of feigned sorrow, her face carrying a hint of concern:

"Actually... I wanted to talk to you about Sister Wanxing. You saw it today, Brother-in-law, Sister Wanxing's situation at home... might not be as good as she says. Auntie and Lin Haoxuan's tempers, sigh... If you're free, Brother-in-law, we could find a quiet Shengtian, and I'll tell you all about it..."

She paused for two seconds, then as if suddenly realizing something, she quickly added with a blush:

"Ah! Brother-in-law, don't misunderstand. I just mean finding a public Shengtian like a coffee shop, not opening another room... After all... our identities... sister-in-law and brother-in-law..."

"..."

Jiang Ye looked Sun Na over carefully, then chuckled. He took out his phone, pulled up his WeChat QR code, and handed it over.

"Add me on WeChat. Tonight... we'll see how things go."

Sun Na was secretly delighted. She quickly pulled out her phone and scanned the code to add him as a friend.

Suppressing her excitement, she said obediently, "Okay, Brother-in-law, then I'll wait for your message."

Jiang Ye nodded and said no more, turning to walk straight back to the private room.
