Chapter 53: Chapter 53: Returning to the Tang Family (Part 3)

I don’t know if Xu Muyun brought up past events, but Sheng Jianan seemed a bit uninterested afterward.

Sheng Jianan didn’t drive. When leaving the club, he naturally got into Zhou Chengze’s car. Although Zhou Chengze had been drinking, that amount was nothing to him and didn’t affect anything.

"Brother Nan, where are you going?"

Sheng Jianan, perhaps having drunk too much, leaned back against the car seat with his eyes closed and casually uttered two words: "Whatever."

"Then let’s head back to Lake Bay, so I don’t have to detour."

Sheng Jianan didn’t respond, and Zhou Chengze didn’t bother him either. He turned the steering wheel and drove straight to Lake Bay Villa.

Because Sheng Jianan didn’t look well, the usually talkative Zhou Chengze remained silent, and the car was exceptionally quiet until Sheng Jianan’s phone rang, breaking the silence.

Initially quietly resting with closed eyes, Sheng Jianan frowned, seemingly annoyed by the disruptive ringtone. He reached into his pocket to retrieve his phone. Although the bright screen wasn’t unlocked, it was visible as a text message from "Tang Ruhai," with part of the content readable: [Come home on Monday, bring Jianan...]

Sheng Jianan frowned more deeply, but Zhou Chengze spoke first: "Hey, Brother Nan, when did you change phones?"

Without saying anything, Sheng Jianan put the phone back in his pocket and glanced at Zhou Chengze: "That woman’s."

Zhou Chengze’s grip around the steering wheel tightened, yet he miraculously remained silent, driving the car steadily toward Lake Bay Villa. The car was smooth, but Zhou Chengze knew he was somewhat absent-minded.

Today, he was called home by his parents for dinner, where an old topic came up again—finding a girlfriend.

Zhou Chengze always played along with such matters. He considered himself a wanderer, not wanting to be tied down by marriage so early. Besides, he had never met someone who stirred the urge to be with them.

However, today, when his mother broached the topic again and asked what kind of girl he liked, an image flashed in Zhou Chengze’s mind—a girl with a radiant smile after seeing a rainbow following the rain.

Zhou Chengze realized something was amiss, so when Sheng Jianan mentioned Tang Yanqi, he naturally chose to keep silent. Regardless of the situation between Sheng Jianan and Tang Yanqi, she was currently his brother’s woman, and his rash thoughts were shameful.

The car stopped in front of Sheng Jianan’s villa, which was completely dark inside. Sheng Jianan got out, and Zhou Chengze unexpectedly spoke: "Brother Nan."

"Hmm? What’s up?"

Sheng Jianan turned to look at his friend. Zhou Chengze, usually careless, had a hint of mischief on his face. He raised an eyebrow unintentionally, hesitated for two seconds, and decided to speak: "Brother Nan, today I ran into the sister-in-law when I was out. She got caught in the rain. I think... maybe you should try to understand the sister-in-law a bit. She seems... she seems different from what you mentioned."

Sheng Jianan raised his eyebrow. He knew his friend’s personality well. Zhou Chengze usually followed his lead in likes and dislikes, yet today he was speaking on behalf of Tang Yanqi.
