Sharing Dreams with My Bestie's Cousin

The woman who looked like Wen Zhi was hugging his older brother. This scene was a real shock to Shang Jing’s eyes!

"Brother, you and her..." Shang Jing didn’t know how to phrase his question appropriately at the moment.

It seemed like there was no right way to ask.

Instead, Wen Zhi met Shang Jing’s gaze and frankly said, "It’s exactly what you see."

Shang Jing’s cheek muscles twitched slightly.

Still not giving up, he turned his gaze to Shang Hexing, thinking he might hear a different answer from him.

However, what Shang Jing heard was Shang Hexing’s solemn introduction, "Your future sister-in-law, Wen Zhi."

Shang Jing: "...!"

Wen Zhi was also surprised, tilting her head to look at Shang Hexing. Of course, she knew he was referring to her; this introduction was unilateral and without her consent.

It seemed he had already decided she wouldn’t specifically correct him.

At this moment, Shang Jing, still in disbelief, walked over and scrutinized Wen Zhi again, "... Future sister-in-law? Wen Zhi?"

Just four short words, each syllable spoken lightly, yet they weighed heavily.

Wen Zhi pursed her lips and looked at him, saying nothing.

Shang Jing asked again, "Are you really Wen Zhi?"

Wen Zhi still said nothing.

Her silence now was undoubtedly an acknowledgment—she was Wen Zhi.

Shang Jing’s brows knotted together, especially annoyed, and when he spoke again, his tone was much heavier than before, "If you are Wen Zhi, then why didn’t you admit it when I recognized you in the back garden earlier?"

Without waiting for Wen Zhi to respond, Shang Hexing reminded with a deep voice, "Shang Jing, watch your tone when you speak to your future sister-in-law."

"..." What a harsh statement!

Shang Jing’s mind was in a whirl.

Even he couldn’t tell what his emotions were at the moment. Was he still in shock? Confused? Or angry?

He suddenly raised his hand, pointing at Wen Zhi but looking toward Shang Hexing, and declared emphatically, "Brother, she’s a fraudster."

Wen Zhi was displeased and swatted Shang Jing’s hand away, "What have I cheated you on? Stop falsely accusing me."

The slap on the back of Shang Jing’s hand was stinging, showing that Wen Zhi had used some force.

Shang Jing grimaced and hissed, glaring at her with resolute conviction, "You are a fraud..."

Before he could finish the word ’fraudster,’ Shang Jing heard his brother’s threatening words, "If you want to be thrown out of the Zhou Family, just continue."

Intimidated by Shang Hexing’s authority, Shang Jing forcibly swallowed the rest of his words.

He took a deep breath, struggling to squeeze a smile onto his face, and said to Wen Zhi, "You just wait!"

From Wen Zhi’s perspective, Shang Jing’s face looked fierce. She subtly hid behind Shang Hexing and whispered, "He’s being mean to me."

Shang Jing: ? What?

The next second, Shang Jing saw his brother pull out his phone and make a call, "Shang Jing is deliberately causing trouble, take him away."

Shang Jing: "..."

Wen Zhi almost laughed out loud, while at that moment, Chen Jinhai had already arrived as quickly as possible, followed by two security officers.

Seeing those two security officers, Shang Jing knew the situation was serious.

He also realized he had gone too far and hurriedly softened his stance, "Brother, Bro! I was wrong!!"

Shang Hexing simply walked away with Wen Zhi, leaving Shang Jing with nothing but a cold, merciless back.

Chen Jinhai stepped forward, gesturing invitingly, "Second Young Master, this way, please."

Shang Jing looked at Chen Jinhai, stiff-necked, "You still know I’m the Second Young Master? It’s the Zhou Family elder’s birthday today, such an important day. Can you manage without me?"

Chen Jinhai: "Without the Second Young Master, it really works."

Shang Jing: "..."

Chen Jinhai gave a reason for his explanation: "The Second Young Master is feeling frustrated and might affect the Zhou family elder’s birthday celebration. Health is the most important thing, so he should go back to rest well."

Shang Jing clenched his teeth: "I just won’t leave."

Chen Jinhai’s hand stretched out again, his face lit up with an officious smile: "Second Young Master, please don’t make things difficult for us. Besides, you don’t want to make a scene, right?"

The undertone of threat in his tone was not lost on Shang Jing.

At that moment, Shang Jing’s complexion turned ugly. He thought about resisting but knew it was futile, not to mention that the entire Shang family was already under his eldest brother’s thumb.

If his eldest brother commanded something with just a word, how could he dare to disobey?

Yet what made Shang Jing most unwilling to accept was that his elder brother kicked him out of the Zhou family because of Wen Zhi!!

It made him furious!

A few minutes later.

Shang Jing left the Zhou family’s house and ran into Zhou Congjie on the way. Zhou Congjie waved and greeted him: "Shang Jing, where are you off to?"

Shang Jing replied: "I’ve got something to deal with. I’ll come back after I handle it."

Zhou Congjie: "It’s already eleven o’clock at noon, can’t you deal with it after lunch?"

Shang Jing seriously: "It’s important business."

Zhou Congjie, being a shrewd man, noticed that Shang Jing was followed by two security officers and probably guessed what was going on, so he didn’t ask any further and gave Shang Jing some leeway.

Upon leaving the main entrance.

Chen Jinhai stood at the bottom of the steps, waving: "Second Young Master, this car."

Shang Jing, with his head bowed in dejection, approached the car door. He opened his mouth and asked: "When did Wen Zhi get together with my elder brother?"

Chen Jinhai replied with his standard official stance: "That is the leader’s personal affair. I am just a subordinate and am not clear about it."

Shang Jing glanced sideways at Chen Jinhai: "Don’t give me that, you’re with my elder brother every day, how could you possibly not know!"

Chen Jinhai naturally would not let Shang Jing extract any information from him, repeating the same answer: "Not clear means not clear. Why must you make things difficult for me, Second Young Master?"

Shang Jing was still not convinced.

Especially since seeing the scene today where Wen Zhi and his elder brother were embracing each other had been a huge shock to him.

After all, not long ago, Wen Zhi’s connection to his elder brother was non-existent.

And today, they’re embracing each other just like that?

And she’s even considered the future sister-in-law??

Thinking of a certain possibility, Shang Jing immediately asked: "It was Wen Zhi who went after my elder brother, wasn’t it? She must be harboring ulterior motives! Up to no good."

Chen Jinhai straightened his posture, facing Shang Jing: "Second Young Master, please watch your words and be cautious."

Shang Jing narrowed his eyes: "Don’t try to scare me."

Chen Jinhai, well-meaning: "Second Young Master, you are standing here now. Have you so quickly forgotten the reason why?"

"..." Shang Jing flicked his eyelid and did not utter a word in response.

Chen Jinhai narrowed his eyes and smiled, then considerately reached out to adjust Shang Jing’s collar and said: "Second Young Master, you are one of the few among the Shang family’s younger generation who has a good knack for business. Mr. Shang thinks highly of you."

Shang Jing scoffed, turning his face away in disdain.

Chen Jinhai patted Shang Jing’s lapel: "Second Young Master, I’m reminding you out of kindness. You might want to think about it, since you graduated and took over part of the family business, hasn’t every step been smooth sailing?"

Shang Jing touched his nose in acknowledgment.

Chen Jinhai continued: "Projects approved by the city that others clamor for, breaking their heads to get a piece of—haven’t they always come to you easily?"

Shang Jing sobered up: "I know, it’s all arranged by my elder brother."
