My sisters drove me away, and now they are crying and begging for my forgiveness?

Judging from the way Zhuang Qing and his brother do things, if they knew how big Lin An's treasure trove was, they would definitely win over Lin An at all costs.

Thinking of this, Zhuang Shen pursed his lips and tentatively said: "Mr. Lin, if you feel that 20% of the shares is not enough, I can give you more." Talent is the most sought-after commodity. How could they let Zhuang Qing snatch away the person they have finally found?

Lin An rubbed his throbbing temples. How did he get involved in the Zhuang family’s family struggle?

"Zhuang Shen, the shares you gave me are enough. Don't worry about your worries. I am not a person who goes back on my word. I agreed to cooperate with you because you are building a factory and a company here. We are mutually beneficial. As for other things, even the best friends have their own privacy. What do you think?"

Lin An was speaking from the heart. If the Zhuang and Shi families did not open a company in Chu City, why would he put himself in this dilemma?

After leaving the building, Lin An drove home. He didn't expect Zhuang Shen to be so straightforward, but he still had to tell Shi Qi.

The door opened, and Tan Weiwei saw him, surprised and happy: "Didn't you say you wouldn't be back at noon?"

Qin Tinghan walked out of the kitchen and stood behind Tan Weiwei. Lin An couldn't help but have an illusion when watching this scene: it seemed that Jiang Qing's departure turned this family into another family of four.

"I hurried back after finishing my work. Is there any meal for me? If not, I'll go make some noodles." Lin An originally planned to treat Zhuang Shen to a meal, but as the timing was not right, he simply came back.

Qin Tinghan put his arm around Tan Weiwei's shoulders, smiled at her, and then turned his gaze to Lin An: "Look at what you said, you are the pillar of our family. Even if we don't eat, you must have a bite of rice. Wait, the meal will be served soon."

Lin An and Tan Weiwei followed Qin Tinghan into the kitchen to help. It seemed that he hadn't eaten at home for a long time. Without Jiang Qing's presence at home, there was a little more regret, but also more new interest from the newcomers.

However, after the fun, Tan Weiwei worked extra hard at washing the dishes, which invisibly put some pressure on Lin An.

He returned to the bedroom and called Shi Qi.

"Mr. Lin?" Shi Qi's puzzled voice came from the phone, "Is there something you want to talk to me about?" Usually, Lin An and Zhuang Shen had a lot of contact, and suddenly he came to him. Shi Qi was puzzled but also surprised.

"Well, where are you?"

"At the construction site, but I'm about to go back. I'll go find you. Where are you?"

Lin An didn't refuse: "At home."

"Okay, give me a location and I'll go over now."

Qin Tinghan brought in a plate of fruit and asked, "Aren't you going out this afternoon?"

"Well, we have guests coming soon."

"You should take some rest. Have you had a physical checkup recently? How is your recovery?"

"It's okay. I won't die for a while."

Qin Tinghan rolled her eyes at him. Since he was joking like that, it must be okay. She nodded and lowered her head to take out her phone which was ringing again. She saw that it was still the same strange number. This strange number had been harassing her repeatedly recently. She was so annoyed that she wanted to change her number.

"Don't answer it?" Lin An was eating an apple, but saw Qin Tinghan's face was troubled. "What's wrong?"

Qin Tinghan thought for a moment, answered the call in front of Lin An, and wanted to hang up as soon as he heard the familiar breathing sound.

Lin An stopped her and said, "Listen to what he says."

"Xiao Han, you finally answered the phone. I missed you so much." Qi Yi was ambitious and did not hesitate to express his nauseating longing.

It was as if I had finally waited for her.

Qin Tinghan listened to Qi Yi's voice again and felt hypocritical and disheartened. He really didn't want to talk to Qi Yi, so he chose to hang up.

Tan Weiwei cleaned up the kitchen and came in to join in the fun, but she saw that Qin Tinghan's face was not right: "Sister Tinghan, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing, just a nuisance call." Qin Tinghan blocked Qi Yi again without hesitation.

Lin An guessed something and couldn't finish the apple halfway through. Fortunately, Shi Qi arrived quickly and drowned out the incident.

Shi Qi sat on the sofa and took the tea from Qin Tinghan: "Thank you."

After a few pleasantries and asking about the factory's progress, Lin An repeated what he had said to Zhuang Shen.

Shi Qi understood what Lin An meant, and said without any hesitation: "Mr. Lin may not know our two families very well. My grandfather and Grandpa Zhuang have the same kind-heartedness, such as charity and helping the disabled. Since Zhuang Shen has agreed, I have no reason to refuse. Thank you Mr. Lin for thinking highly of us. As long as our Shi family can lend a helping hand, we will definitely live up to Mr. Lin's expectations."

Lin An held out his hand: "Let me thank you on behalf of those people first."

Shi Qi quickly extended his hand and shook his hand: "Mr. Lin, you are too kind."

After finishing the business, Shi Qi asked without thinking: "Did Mr. Lin see Zhuang Shen?"

Lin An was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Yes, what happened? Did you have a fight?"

Shi Qi answered stupidly: "I haven't seen him for several days. He seems to be avoiding me on purpose."

"Hidden from you? Why?" At present, Zhuang Shen's real gender should only be known by him and Old Master Zhuang, unless Zhuang Shen himself feels guilty.

And when Zhuang Shen got used to his disguised gender, he was still a friend to Shi Qi, except that this brotherhood relationship deteriorated.

"Uh..." Shi Qi found it difficult to speak, but thinking of his and Zhuang Shen's many years of friendship, he couldn't let it break up because of some trivial matter.

Shi Qi gritted his teeth and said, "Something unexpected happened between him and me."

"I think we are all men, and it's okay for some things to happen, but he seems to think differently than I do?"

"Huh?" Lin An was frowning. "So what happened to you guys?"

"I... I kissed him accidentally." Shi Qi scratched his head. After saying this, he was met with three pairs of shocked eyes, which immediately made him look so embarrassed that he could not express it in words.

"Go on..." Lin An was addicted to listening, and smiled at Shi Qi's embarrassment as if he had never been in a relationship before, "What are the details of the story?"

Shi Qi really had nowhere to turn to, and it happened that Lin An knew Zhuang well and could help him, so he had no choice but to continue talking.

The accident happened one night a few days ago.

Shi Qi and Zhuang Shen divided the work between them. Shi Qi was responsible for keeping an eye on the construction sites of the two companies, while Zhuang Shen was in charge of the company's internal affairs.

That night, he came to Zhuang Shen covered in dust and dirt. He was hungry, but didn't want to eat out, so he went straight to Zhuang Shen and asked him to feed him.

Since Mr. Zhuang and Mr. Shi recovered, they have been traveling around the world almost every day, delegating all factory-related matters to the people and training young people.

Because he came suddenly, when Shi Qi opened the door and went in, he just saw Zhuang Shen coming out of the room in a bathrobe. Zhuang Shen was about to come out to drink water, but the moment he saw Shi Qi, his whole body froze, and his first reaction was almost to turn around and go back to the room.

Shi Qi didn't think anything of it, so he followed him.

He originally wanted to pull Zhuang Shen downstairs to cook for him, but he didn't expect that he managed to pull him, but his foot slipped and he fell to the ground, pulling Zhuang Shen down with him.

As luck would have it, Zhuang Shen kissed him on the lips.

Thinking back now, Shi Qi is still going crazy: "This is really just an accident."

But Zhuang Shen's reaction was very strong at that time. His face turned red and he quickly kicked him out of the room.

Shi Qi stood at the door in a daze for a long time. Although he felt very embarrassed, what was wrong with two grown men kissing each other accidentally?

But it was from that night that Zhuang Shen began to avoid him and even changed the password to the front door. He avoided him so thoroughly that Shi Qi panicked.

Every time he went to Zhuang Shen's company, the front desk would stop him and give him various excuses like Zhuang Shen was not there or was in a meeting, which made Shi Qi speechless and annoyed.

"I can apologize to him, but there's really no need to break up with him."

Shi Qi was even fidgeting in front of Lin An, but he didn't notice it. But Lin An did. Without being able to see Zhuang Shen, Shi Qi was in a very bad state.
