Chapter 1922
My Excellent Brother 2
Yu Mingruo told Liu Wenyang that she had someone she liked and asked him not to make any moves on her.
Liu Wenyang chuckled.
This young lady is far too arrogant. She thinks that just because she's rich, has a powerful background, and is beautiful, all men will like her.
Look closely, right now her parents are clinging to Liu Wenyang, wanting to marry their daughter off.
Liu Wenyang complained to Liu Qiu that even if he had terrible taste, he would never be interested in a woman like Yu Mingruo.
Liu Tong laughed: "Don't make promises you can't keep."
Yu Mingruo's character is very much like the second female lead in romance novels and TV dramas, while her older brother's character is like both the male lead and the second male lead.
Liu Wenyang: "I'm neither a domineering CEO nor a devoted second male lead. Yu Mingruo is not a woman I admire."
Don't assume he hasn't watched those idol dramas.
Liu Wenyang admires capable and strong women and wants to marry a wife who can bring him benefits.
Yu Mingruo does not meet Liu Wenyang's standards for friends and wife.
Although her family is wealthy, Liu Wenyang looks down on the Yu family's company.
The neighbor on the other side is surnamed Si.
The Si family makes cosmetics, mainly targeting the mid-to-high-end market.
The Si family has two sons. The elder son, Si Jingran, has already joined the company and is the general manager.
The youngest son, Si Haoran, graduated from university not long ago. Instead of joining the family company, he ran an advertising company with his girlfriend.
Madam Si was Si's father's second wife and Si Jingran's stepmother.
Si Jingran's mother passed away when he was very young. Si Jingran's relationship with Madam Si was lukewarm, and he was not close to Si's father either.
However, Mr. Si still values his eldest son highly and intends to hand over the company to him.
Mrs. Si was aware of this and supported her son in having his own career.
The advertising company that Si Haoran and his girlfriend started was funded by Si's wife.
Liu Wenyang and Si Jingran got along very well. They were also alumni of Harvard University, with Si Jingran being one year ahead of Liu Wenyang.
They knew each other in school, but their relationship wasn't very close.
At that time, Liu Wenyang worked part-time in his spare time and only met Si Jingran three times.
We were acquaintances, but never had any in-depth interactions.
I never imagined that they would become neighbors after returning to China.
The two share very similar philosophies and have a tacit understanding in their dealings with people and things, making them seem like longtime partners rather than first acquaintances.
Liu Tong: "Fate!"
These two even share the same views on marriage.
It originated from Liu Tong's complaints about Yu Mingruo.
At the time, the Si Jingran brothers and the Liu brothers were having a barbecue in the Liu family's courtyard—Liu Dong wanted to eat, so he ordered takeout with ingredients and charcoal. They ordered too much food, and the two brothers couldn't finish it, so they called the Si brothers over. Then, Si Haoran's girlfriend, Yao Yingying, also showed up—Yu Mingruo drove home.
She was drawn by the commotion and glanced over, her eyes filled with impatience.
It seems the young lady is in a bad mood.
Liu Tong: "Miss Liu has broken up with her boyfriend."
Yao Yingying asked curiously, "How did you know?"
Liu Tong: "I guessed."
Yao Yingying: "You guessed right."
Liu Tong: "You know her?"
Yao Yingying: "I don't know her, but the man she likes is my best friend's boyfriend."
Liu Tong: "No way?"
Are the two families really that destined to be together?
Yao Yingying frowned: "I don't know what's wrong with this young lady. There are so many excellent men out there, but she insists on stealing other people's boyfriends." Yao Yingying's best friend is named Mia, and she and her boyfriend Zhang Haiyao are childhood sweethearts.
They grew up together and naturally came together.
Zhang Haiyao and Yu Mingfeng are classmates and friends.
At Yu Mingfeng's invitation, Zhang Haiyao and another friend of theirs, Li Xin, joined the Yu family's company.
Yu Mingruo fell in love with Zhang Haiyao at first sight and began to pursue her.
Zhang Haiyao has a girlfriend, how could he possibly accept Yu Mingruo? He rejected her multiple times.
Yu Mingruo, on the contrary, felt that Zhang Haiyao was very principled and different from other men, and liked Zhang Haiyao even more.
She kept pestering Zhang Haiyao, using her status as the boss's daughter to help him secure resources within the company.
As a result, Zhang Haiyao offended many people, making his situation in the company difficult.
Yao Yingying: "This woman caused Zhang Haiyao and Mia a lot of trouble. Zhang Haiyao could hardly stay at the company and even wanted to resign. It was only because President Yu appreciated Zhang Haiyao's abilities that he suppressed the dissatisfaction of those people and kept Zhang Haiyao in the company..."
After listening to his girlfriend's words, Si Haoran also began to complain about Yu Mingruo: "This woman really thinks she's a princess, that everyone will like her and fawn over her. Once when I ran into her, she actually ordered me to pursue Mia and help her get rid of her love rival. And this woman even thinks my brother likes her... My brother has high standards, how could he possibly be interested in her?"
Liu Tong: "My brother was also warned by her."
He and Si Haoran exchanged a glance. Good, they were on the same page.
Si Jingran and Liu Wenyang exchanged a glance and shook their heads with amusement.
Liu Wenyang: "Are you interested?"
Si Jingran: "Of course!"
The two men raised their glasses, compared them, and then drank the red wine in one gulp.
The next day, both men called stockbrokers and asked them to help them buy shares in the Yu family's company.
The head of the Yu family is getting old, and he has a daughter who is dragging his family down. She has offended many people without realizing it, and the Yu family company is likely to suffer in the future.
Yu Mingfeng's abilities are good, but that's all.
His abilities are far inferior to those of Si Jingran and Liu Wenyang.
Liu Wenyang is very busy. He has just taken over the company and has a lot of business to attend, including various business banquets.
Liu Tong had no choice but to buy medicinal herbs and hand-roll some health-preserving pills for Liu Wenyang to protect his stomach from the harm caused by alcohol.
Liu Wenyang had no doubts about the pills; he knew his younger brother's abilities.
Liu Wenyang knew that his younger brother had started cultivating immortality because he had also started cultivating.
Once, Liu Tong was practicing calligraphy with a brush and wrote down a basic cultivation technique from the cultivation world on a piece of paper.
When Liu Wenyang passed by, he saw the cultivation manual and was able to understand it; he had even begun to grasp the basics.
From then on, Liu Wenyang also embarked on the path of cultivation.
However, there is too little spiritual energy abroad, and he has not been able to establish his foundation after several years of cultivation. His cultivation level has not broken through to the fourth level of Qi Refining.
It wasn't until a month after returning to China that he broke through to the fourth level of Qi Refining.
Liu Wenyang was surprised to see Si Jingran at the banquet, which made him realize that Si Jingran was in poor health and could not drink alcohol.
Even if you drink alcohol, you can't have more than three glasses—and that's low-alcohol red wine.
If Si Jingran drinks too much, her body won't be able to handle it.
On one occasion, Si Jingran drank more than he could handle while dealing with a few people who acted like they were old and arrogant. As a result, his own driver was late because of traffic.
Si Jingran fainted in the underground parking garage.
Liu Wenyang found Si Jingran and took him home.
But Si's parents went on a trip, and Si Haoran was with his girlfriend, so there was no one from Si's family.
Liu Wenyang could only take the person back to his home to care for them. (End of Chapter)
