CHAPTER 606: CHAPTER 606: AFTER ALL, ONE OF THE SHAREHOLDERS

After ending the call, he massaged his aching lower back before getting out of bed.

One can’t help but exclaim: I’m truly getting old!

They say that after a woman turns 25, she begins to feel her energy flagging.

It seems that’s no rumor.

Thinking about it just made him feel that someone was overly unreasonable!

Anyhow, whether it’s now or six years ago, he had never experienced such a thing.

Comparing oneself to others can really be infuriating!

And since Jiang Ye was called away in the afternoon, he hadn’t returned.

The late shift at the hospital started at five-thirty, so Lu Jing grabbed a quick bite at home and hurried out.

Descending the stairs, he even ran into the old lady from downstairs:

"Oh, Xiao Lu, are you heading out?"

"Mhm, mhm."

"Going to see Captain Jiang?"

How could that be?

"No, I’m off to work."

"Oh, oh, oh, then hurry along, don’t be late."

The old lady even hurriedly stepped aside to give way.

Lu Jing thanked her:

"Thanks, Granny," before swiftly moving on.

He was running late, only five minutes left.

....

It was probably just as Lu Jing left that Captain Jiang came home from work.

All excited on his way, he was even carrying a large cardboard box. Who knows what was inside?

As he walked under their apartment block, just about to head upstairs.

"Bro, bro, big bro!"

Hearing this familiar voice, Jiang Ye already frowned, but he still stopped in his tracks.

Jiang Yuan ran over:

"Bro, you’re off work? What’s that you’re carrying?"

As she spoke, she tried to take a look.

But who would’ve thought, Jiang Ye suddenly stepped back:

"Stay back! Don’t let your eyes wander."

Huh?

Jiang Yuan obediently stood still, yet her face was full of confusion:

"Bro, what are you doing?"

Was he treating his own sister like an enemy or what?

Why can’t she get close now?

Jiang Ye rolled his eyes:

"You’re a girl, can you be a bit more demure?"

All day long, acting wild like a tomboy.

Jiang Yuan was not pleased:

"Bro, how am I not demure?

Hmph, I knew it, in your eyes only my sister-in-law is the best, and only she is good. She’s like a fairy in your eyes!"

It was meant to be teasing, but the other party actually admitted it seriously:

"That’s right, your sister-in-law is indeed my only fairy!"

Jiang Yuan’s eyes widened:

"You, you, you..."

She was lost for words.

Finally:

"Bro, show some shame."

This must have been the first time Jiang Yuan directly spoke so boldly to her brother. The usual banter didn’t count.

Jiang Ye rolled his eyes again:

"Do you still want to go home?"

Heh.

Was that a threat?

But Jiang Yuan really didn’t dare to anger Jiang Ye and obediently closed her mouth, staying silent.

As they went upstairs, she trotted along behind her brother.

Then, just as Jiang Ye was taking out his keys about to open the door, he suddenly paused:

"Jiang Yuan."

"Huh?"

"We should have a talk."

Suddenly, it felt more oppressive than being stopped by a teacher:

"Talk about what?"

Jiang Ye’s mouth curved slightly upward:

"Let’s talk inside."

Uh.

Could Jiang Yuan dare to say no?

Of course, she didn’t dare.

"Oh, okay."

Anyway, whatever her dear brother said goes. If he said they should talk, then let’s talk.

After Jiang Ye entered, he scanned the room.

One glance was enough to know no one was home, and he quickly dialed a number on his phone.

The call connected almost immediately:

"Hello?"

"Wife, where are you?"

"At the hospital, working."

Working?

"What work? How come I didn’t know?"

He was a shareholder, after all, wasn’t he?

Ahem, ahem, a little matter like this, how could it possibly be reported to a shareholder?
