Chapter 37: My Brother Seems to Be in Love!

Ever since Shengxing started restructuring, Qiao Shuyi has been busy.

She used to work in the business department and would leave on time. Now, she and Sheng Tang are busy from morning till night.

Restructuring departments, recruiting employees, building a new management team, finalizing plans… there are so many things they need to handle.

Originally, they were both college graduates this year and had no experience.

Fortunately, Sheng Tang had been following Sheng Yu, and she had learned a lot from him. Qiao Shuyi, on the other hand, had memories from her previous life and had her own unique insights on many things.

With their combined efforts, Shengxing gradually got back on track.

After a month of preparation, Shengxing’s first short play officially began filming.

…

Autumn passed and winter came. With a cold current passing through, Beijing officially entered winter.

The thin windbreakers were replaced with thick cotton jackets and down jackets.

Fortunately, every household now has heating, so no matter how cold it is outside, it is warm and steamy inside.

That evening, after dinner, Qiao Shuyi sat at her desk and opened the notebook she hadn’t opened for a long time. She began to record her feelings for Sheng Yu.

Yesterday was Christmas, and she received a Christmas gift from Sheng Yu.

A diamond necklace in the shape of a snowflake, a bouquet of Aisha roses airlifted from Nancheng, and a box of rich and mellow chocolate.

[Favorability + 5]

The day before yesterday, she was at the filming location accompanying the actors. The weather was very cold, and she accidentally caught a cold.

When Sheng Yu found out, he immediately sent someone to deliver her cold medicine and a three-piece set of warm clothes.

Not only that, he also prepared hot ginger soup and warm packs for everyone on the set.

[Favorability + 5]

Last week, Sheng Yu returned from a business trip in Paris and brought her a bunch of gifts: perfume, lipstick, macarons, and a cute rabbit doll.

Although these things could be bought in China, he said:

When he saw them, the first person he thought of was her.

At that moment, she suddenly felt very moved.

[Favorability + 10]

The week before last, when she and Sheng Yu were having dinner, he stole a kiss on her cheek while she wasn’t paying attention.

[Favorability……+0]

…

After the recollection ended, Qiao Shuyi calculated the cumulative favorability and was surprised to find that it was already 90.

She felt that she could start planning to confess to Sheng Yu.

After all, there’s only 10 points of favorability left.

After closing the notebook, Qiao Shuyi went to bed and prepared to read her phone for a while before going to sleep.

Just then, Sheng Tang suddenly sent her a WeChat message.

Sheng Tang: [Bao，are you asleep?]

Qiao Shuyi: [Not yet, what’s up?]

Sheng Tang: [I have something to tell you, I’ll call you!]

Within two seconds, Sheng Tang’s call came through.

Qiao Shuyi casually answered the phone: “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”

“Qiao Qiao, I think my brother might be in love!”

“…”

Qiao Shuyi felt her breathing slow down, and she cautiously asked: “How do you know?”

“Wasn’t it Christmas yesterday? I found a receipt for him buying chocolate in his pocket. No, why would a grown man buy chocolate? He must have bought it for someone!”

Qiao Shuyi subconsciously looked at the chocolate on her desk that she had just opened and only eaten one piece. She felt a pang of guilt: “Maybe, maybe he bought it for himself…”

“If that’s all, it’s fine. I heard from his assistant that when he came back from Paris last time, he brought a bunch of gifts, like perfume, lipstick, and macarons! None of them were for me, I don’t know who they were for!

And also, I’ve noticed that he’s been ordering flowers from Nancheng a lot lately, two or three times a month, and they’re the kind that are picked and airlifted the same day!

Actually, that’s all fine. The main thing is, he’s been like a different person lately. He’s usually not the type to look at his phone a lot, but now he’s constantly staring at it, I don’t know who he’s texting, and he can’t stop smiling…”

With each word Sheng Tang said, Qiao Shuyi felt her heart beat faster.

Sheng Tang quickly noticed something was wrong: “Qiao Qiao, why aren’t you saying anything?”

“…Ah, I’m listening to you.”

Qiao Shuyi’s mood at this moment could be described as indescribable.

She hadn’t even confessed to Sheng Yu yet, and Sheng Tang had already noticed something.

If she really confessed to him, wouldn’t she be constantly discovering the truth?

“Qiao Qiao, what do you think? Do you think my brother is in love?”

Qiao Shuyi pondered for a moment and slowly said: “Your brother is 28, it’s normal for him to be in love, right?”

“It’s not normal at all!”

Sheng Tang suppressed her voice and growled: “My brother, with his personality, I’ve never seen him show interest in any woman. I was worried he might be gay, and I even asked him about it several times, but later I was smart…”

Speaking of this, Qiao Shuyi also had some memories.

That was probably when she and Sheng Tang first went to college. Sheng Yu was about 24 years old at the time, successful in his career and full of glory. Countless outstanding women and wealthy heiresses were attracted to him.

However, he remained unmoved.

That year, something very interesting happened.

A female employee at Shengshi had been admiring Sheng Yu for a long time. After confessing her love to him, she was rejected.

Rejection was rejection, after all, Sheng Yu wasn’t rejecting women for the first time, there was nothing to be ashamed of.

Things should have ended there.

But the girl was bold. When no one was paying attention, she snuck into Sheng Yu’s office wearing a sexy lace dress, wanting to offer her body to him.

However, when Sheng Yu found out, he didn’t even look at her, and directly had his bodyguard throw her out of the office.

This incident quickly spread throughout Shengshi and soon spread to the entire circle.

Rumors started to spread, saying that Sheng Yu, a man in his prime, didn’t even react when a woman stripped naked in front of him. Could he be gay?

These rumors quickly reached Sheng Tang’s ears.

She was angry at those who spread rumors, but she was also worried if it was true, as they said, that her brother didn’t like women, but liked men.

Wouldn’t that mean their old Sheng family would have no descendants?!

She was anxious.

From then on, Sheng Tang would constantly ask her brother, why didn’t he have a girlfriend? Did he have a girl he liked? When was he going to find her a sister-in-law?

Sheng Yu would always be annoyed by her questions and tell her to go away with a sullen face.

How did Sheng Tang finally confirm that Sheng Yu wasn’t gay?

She came up with a rather shady plan.

She spent a lot of money to find a very glamorous young woman, and asked her to seduce her brother.

As a result, as soon as the young woman touched Sheng Yu, he broke her hand and coldly told her to get out.

Afterwards, Sheng Tang gave the young woman a lot of money to finally appease her.

However, she was finally relieved.

Her brother was straight, that was all that mattered.

Thinking back to the past, Qiao Shuyi wanted to laugh.

It was a good thing Sheng Yu didn’t know that the young woman was sent by Sheng Tang, otherwise, they would both be in trouble.

Yes, she was also involved in that incident. She went to a gay bar with Sheng Tang to find that young woman…
