After the Republic of China

Chapter 1039 Narration
As time went by, the two grown men fell silent.

The atmosphere in the room became increasingly depressing, with only the clinking of wine glasses being heard.

A gust of wind blew and the lights in the house began to flicker.

This was like a magic wand that broke a spell, and the air in the house began to flow.

Chen Yang, who had been staring at the wine glass, suddenly grinned at Su Jin, his eyes were bloodshot, which was very scary.

In the evening in Shanghai, there was a sudden strong wind, which was very fierce.

The flickering lights, coupled with Chen Yang's behavior, made people shiver for no reason.

Su Jin was indeed frightened by his friend's expression, fearing that the man had been possessed by a demon.

So, he didn't think of any more words, and directly pulled the man aside, advising him, "Okay, stop drinking. Even if you drink more now, it can't make up for your lack of attention earlier."

His words really hit the nail on the head.

Chen Yang also regretted his procrastination and inadvertent negligence. It was he who missed the great opportunity.

Hearing his friend say this, he calmed down a little, and pulled his lips bitterly, "You are right, I am too conceited."

Although Su Jin also thought so, he was a good friend after all, so he advised: "Since you missed it, don't think too much about it. After all, we will meet again in the future. Senior brothers and sisters are not bad either."

He felt a little guilty when he said this, but he also felt it was very rational, and he agreed with his own words to a certain extent.

But his words sounded even more harsh to Chen Yang's ears, and he could only use them to comfort himself.

Chen Yang had drunk a lot of wine, and in front of his good friend, he let go of his usual caution and sneered, "Brother and sister, when things have come to this, how can we still be brothers and sisters?"

Su Jin's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. "Do you have any other plans?"

He had just analyzed from Xiaodong's words that things were not as they, outsiders, thought, but that it was a good marriage that Miss Shao herself was very willing to.

Chen Yang was still immersed in his own world, and only said to himself: "Brother and sister, how can it be just brother and sister? I have waited for so many years, can I let others succeed?"

Su Jin saw that what he said was not true, so he quickly advised: "Ayang, don't be like this, there is actually nothing wrong with you two."

Chen Yang glanced at his good brother unhappily, "How can you say that?"

Su Jin said bluntly: "Why can't I say that? Hasn't Miss Shao always been polite to you all these years? You haven't shown any affection for Miss Shao, or an attitude that you can only have her."

After hearing this, Chen Yang slapped himself in annoyance, "I was just afraid of offending the beauty."

Seeing that he softened his tone, Su Jin's expression relaxed a little. "If that's the case, just be well with each other. Don't be dissatisfied."

Chen Yang calmed down a bit, poured a glass of wine for his friend, clinked glasses with each other, and then sighed, "I'm not unwilling, but I feel sorry for Yunshi."

Su Jin raised his eyebrows, "Just because the other party's family background is not prominent?"

"Yeah." Chen Yang added awkwardly, "If I had acted faster and been more pious, Yunshi would not be living the life she is living now."

This statement sounded a bit conceited again. Su Jin sighed, "I know what kind of person Miss Shao is. She is not one of those people who try to curry favor with others."

"I just want her to live a more refined life." Chen Yang said dissatisfiedly.

Su Jin still advised: "The Shao family is doing well. I see that her life is very refined. Don't think too much about it."

Chen Yang came from a distinguished family and naturally had considerable wealth. Naturally, he looked down upon the Shao family, a declining scholarly family.

After hearing what his friend said, he did not argue much, but just said: "Yunshi is not such a stupid and corrupt person, why does she want to get married suddenly?" Obviously, he really could not accept this fact.

Seeing him like this, Su Jin could only sigh, "Ayang, Miss Shao is a very traditional person. Since this marriage was decided a long time ago, how can she not acknowledge it?"

"I'm just afraid that she will admit it unwillingly." Chen Yang curled his lips.

Su Jin saw that he seemed to be possessed by a demon and nothing he said would make him understand. He was afraid that it would cause trouble for him and became even more upset.

He didn't want to intervene, but he was thinking that Miss Shao was a good person and he had to help her, so he asked, "How do you know that she is unwilling? Did she show it in her daily life?"

Speaking of this, he frowned.

Even if Chen Yang was drunk, he would subconsciously protect Shao Yunshi in his heart.

So, when he saw that his friend's tone was not right, he calmed down a little and sobered up a little.

However, he had been drinking and his thinking was a little slow.

Before he even opened his mouth, Su Jin was already anxious, "Could it be that Miss Shao really told you something?"

Chen Yang finally came to his senses and said hurriedly, "It's not what you think. Although I hinted at it several times, my schoolmate never responded."

After hearing this, Su Jin breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that Miss Shao was not such a frivolous person.

"In that case, don't think about it anymore." Su Jin narrowed his eyes at his friend indifferently.

Once Chen Yang opened his mouth, the rest of the conversation became easier.

He ignored his friend's advice and continued, "At that time, I thought she was still young, or maybe shy, so I didn't think much about my hint..."

Perhaps it was too bitter, Chen Yang found it difficult to continue speaking and took a few more sips of wine.

Su Jin felt sad to see him like this. Who could have thought that the once proud warlord's son would end up like this.

Fortunately, Chen Yang did not look up at his friend, otherwise he would have been pissed to death by his friend's pitiful look.

Su Jin didn't know that he almost hit the proud Chen Yang, and he was only thinking about how to persuade his good friend.

Chen Yang paused for a moment, then said in annoyance, "If I had known that she was engaged, I should have asked her earlier, maybe she would have changed her mind."

After hearing this, Su Jin was relieved and advised: "You have to know that although Miss Shao is an educated woman, she is also traditional. Since her family has arranged the marriage, she will not change her mind."

"But, but you can't just decide your whole life like this." Chen Yang was in so much pain because he knew his schoolmate's personality.

Su Jin looked at him helplessly, "How do you know that there is no emotional foundation? You have to know that Mr. Shao is not one of those overbearing patriarchs."

"But, but Xiaodong said that Mr. Shao arranged Yunshi's marriage because he was on good terms with the abbot of Daming Temple." Chen Yang struggled.

Su Jin glared at him, "You forgot to mention one thing. Mr. Shao and that master had a life-and-death friendship."

These words made Chen Yang feel sad and angry.

Su Jin didn't know that he had unknowingly made a bad friend. He just sighed and said, "Besides, Daming Temple has a good reputation. If it wasn't suitable, they wouldn't agree to this marriage."

Chen Yang was speechless, "But, that man is just a bank security captain, his ability is too low, how can he be worthy of Yunshi."

"Whether one is worthy of the other is not for others to comment on." Su Jin's words were extremely pertinent.
