CHAPTER 926: CHAPTER 927: TOO MANY TEMPTATIONS

Why?

Qi Fenglian asked, looking at Qi Taiguo, not understanding where her younger brother’s anger came from. But they shared the same blood, and she knew he was truly angry.

"Zhang Jisheng is not suited to be here, and both of you being out together means no one is watching the two kids at home. It’s better for him to go back, whether he works a part-time job or does some business, it’s better than staying here." Qi Taiguo said blandly.

Qi Fenglian glanced at Cheng Su. Had she said something in front of Taiguo?

Cheng Su’s face darkened slightly, and she sat off to the side.

Qi Taiguo noticed too and said, "Elder Sister, listen to me, let Zhang Jisheng go back."

Qi Fenglian didn’t speak. A separation would do more harm than good for the couple. Besides, what could he do back home? The salary is low. How can she make a breakthrough all by herself?

Yet Taiguo insisted on sending Jisheng back...

Qi Fenglian lowered her head and scratched herself again, feeling incredibly anxious.

Cheng Su caught it and momentarily froze, turning her eyes away in embarrassment. This Elder Sister was somewhat oblivious to the occasion. Performing such actions was rather unseemly.

"Taiguo, even if Jisheng doesn’t work in the renovation team, he can find work elsewhere," Qi Fenglian said with difficulty.

She really didn’t want Zhang Jisheng to go back. If he returned, it would mean she would have to go back eventually too.

Qi Taiguo understood that separating the couple was not ideal, but Zhang Jisheng was a worry here, and he was afraid that the consequences might outweigh the benefits.

"Elder Sister..." Qi Taiguo’s face darkened, and an intimidating aura burst forth immediately.

Qi Fenglian recoiled instantly, her face turning slightly pale.

Cheng Su gave him a gentle tug and shook her head.

She could tell that Qi Fenglian really didn’t want Zhang Jisheng to go back, regardless of the reasons.

But should they spill Zhang Jisheng’s business? It would be easy to say, but how would Qi Fenglian react?

"Elder Sister, I can’t speak on your matters, but I think letting Zhang Jisheng go back to the hometown is the right choice." Qi Taiguo reined in his aura, left one final statement, and went into the room.

Qi Fenglian’s face was filled with anxiety. She could see her younger brother was angry, but why did he insist on Zhang Jisheng going back?

"Elder Sister, originally, I was also supportive of you both coming out together, but seeing this past year, I feel Zhang Jisheng has changed a lot. Or maybe it’s just that this world is too tempting, and with many temptations, his resolve weakened and he changed." Cheng Su could only tactfully advise.

Qi Fenglian’s face changed slightly.

Too many temptations?

"Elder Sister, Zhang Jisheng has changed a lot. Don’t you think? Not long ago, he even came to find me, wanting to take over purchasing for these cafeterias." Cheng Su said, "In the past, he wouldn’t have had the guts."

"What?" Qi Fenglian was shocked. That dead man dared to approach Cheng Su himself, and she didn’t know a thing.

Now, Qi Fenglian truly felt ashamed.

She had kept that matter hidden with all her thoughts, fearing it would come out, not realizing Cheng Su already knew but hadn’t spoken.

And she knew because of Zhang Jisheng’s own boldness, his growing audacity.

"Taiguo’s wife, your brother-in-law was just out of his mind for a moment. Don’t listen to his nonsense. How could he possibly do it, he..." Qi Fenglian was a bit incoherent, face flushed with urgency.

Cheng Su said, "Elder Sister, I know everything. The purchasing position involves many things, and it goes to whoever is capable. That’s what I advocated, regardless of whether it’s a relative or not. If Zhang Jisheng had the capability and integrity, I would let him do it. But..."

Qi Fenglian’s face turned beet red with shame. The unspoken words she knew in her heart—that Zhang Jisheng lacked ability and integrity, and it was wishful thinking.

Thinking of this, her face felt hot, burning, her whole body itching and aching. She couldn’t help but scratch; it was truly embarrassing!
