Chapter 289: The human heart is the most unreliable thing to examine!
Shi Mubai trusts Tang An.
I trust them completely.
the first.
The two grew up together.
second.
Tang An is his sister.
Even though they are not related by blood, they are still the closest of people to each other.
In his opinion.
Let alone 600 million, even if you gave Tang An 6 billion, Tang An would never betray you.
Just money.
How can anything compare to the deep affection between siblings?
Qi Chengze was speechless upon hearing Shi Mubai's voice.
"Mu Bai, wake up. Human hearts are the most unreliable thing," Qi Chengze was a very realistic person. He also knew the importance of this manuscript, so he always locked the door of his study before drawing. "In the face of interests, all feelings are not worth mentioning."
“Chengze, you’ll know once you meet my sister. She’s not that kind of person.” Shi Mubai didn’t listen to Qi Chengze’s words. “Besides, my sister is very beautiful. You’ll be amazed when you see her.”
Normally, Qi Chengze would have been very interested after hearing Shi Mubai's words.
He loved two things most in his life.
Fine wine and beautiful women.
but now.......
Qi Chengze's attention was entirely on the manuscript.
"Mu Bai, no matter how much you trust your sister, please make sure you protect our manuscript! You know the consequences if it gets leaked!" Qi Chengze, who was usually carefree, suddenly became serious, which made him seem quite convincing.
Shi Mubai didn't listen to Qi Chengze's words, and just nodded perfunctorily, "I know, I know."
In his view, Qi Chengze was judging a gentleman by the standards of a petty person.
Tang An is not that kind of person!
There was absolutely no need for him to be wary of Tang An.
Qi Chengze continued, "Then you should eat first. I won't bother you anymore."
"Hang it up," Shi Mubai said.
Before hanging up, Qi Chengze added, "Remember to protect our manuscript!"
The competition date is almost here.
If they lose the manuscript at this time and it falls into the hands of their competitors, their company may face the predicament of never being able to go public!
Qi Chengze was worried that something might go wrong with Shi Mubai, so he said, "Mubai, why don't you go downstairs to eat? Don't eat in the study, and don't talk too much about our design drafts with your cousin."
Sometimes, the more you say, the more mistakes you make.
Now is the crucial moment.
Qi Chengze didn't want anything to go wrong at this time.
"Okay, okay." Shi Mubai nodded, took off his headphones, and saved the revised draft.
Just then, Tang An walked in carrying the food.
"Brother Mu Bai, you've worked hard."
“It’s no trouble at all,” Shi Mubai said, straightening his sleeves and standing up from the sofa. “An’an, just put the food on the table over there.”
"Okay." Tang An turned and walked towards the table.
After putting down the food, Tang An sat down on the other side of the table. "Brother Mu Bai, I haven't eaten yet either. I'll go eat with you."
“Okay.” Shi Mubai nodded. “It’s been so long since anyone has eaten with me.”
In truth, Shi Mubai still longed for the warmth of home.
pity.
His family has been incomplete since he can remember.
Tang An smiled and said, "Brother Mu Bai, I'll eat with you every day from now on."
"Thank you, An'an." Shi Mubai looked at Tang An, his eyes filled with gratitude.
Tang An placed a chicken leg on Shi Mubai's plate, saying, "Brother Mubai, you've lost weight lately, eat some meat to replenish your strength."
"You eat too." Shi Mubai also put a chicken leg on Tang An's plate.
Tang An took a bite of his chicken leg and asked curiously, "Brother Mu Bai, what have you been busy with lately?"
Shi Mubai had clearly forgotten what Qi Chengze had asked him to do, and said, "I'm drawing a design draft."
"Design drafts?" Shi Mubai had no secrets from Tang An. Tang An knew everything about him, including that Shi Mubai owned a jewelry company. She then asked, "Is it CL Jewelry?"
“That’s right.” Shi Mubai nodded.
Tang An then asked, "By the way, Brother Mu Bai, is CL Jewelry about to go public?"
Although Shi Mubai's comics are drawn very well.
He is a bestselling comic book artist.
However, most of Shi Mubai's wealth came from this jewelry store.
Shi Mubai took a bite of vegetables. "The design I've been working on is for the competition. If this work gets into the top three, CL Jewelry will have a good chance of going public."
As he finished speaking, Shi Mubai's eyes shone brightly.
obviously.
He was very satisfied with their work.
In fact, Shi Mubai did have the confidence to back it up.
Otherwise, no one would offer 60 million to get their design drafts.
"Really?" Tang An's eyes lit up. "Brother Mu Bai, you're so amazing, I'm sure your work will make it into the top three!"
Shi Mubai continued, "It's not just my work; my other partner, Qi Chengze, also participated in the design."
Tang An also knew about Qi Chengze.
Very talented.
He graduated from a famous design school. When Shi Mubai and Qi Chengze started their business, he often mentioned Qi Chengze to Tang An.
Tang An nodded, "With Brother Chengze's design, it's like adding wings to a tiger. Brother Mubai, I think you can not only make it into the top three, but also have no problem getting first place."
Shi Mubai was very happy to be coaxed by Tang An's words.
Tang An trusted Qi Chengze so much, yet Qi Chengze suspected that Tang An would steal the design drafts.
It seems that people really can't be compared.
After finishing the meal, Tang An took the initiative to clear the dishes.
After taking the bowls and chopsticks downstairs, Tang An returned to the study. "Brother Mu Bai, I made you some chrysanthemum and goji berry tea. It's good for your eyes. You're on the computer all day, it's too bad for your eyes."
"Thank you, An'an, you've thought of everything." Shi Mubai picked up his cup and took a sip.
"You're welcome," Tang An said immediately. "Brother Mu Bai, I'm downstairs. If you need anything, just let me know."
Looking at the sensible Tang An, Shi Mubai felt a warmth in his heart.
After putting down the tea, Tang An looked at Shi Mubai and said, "Brother Mubai, you can go ahead with your work. I'm going downstairs."
"Ok."
Tang An turned and walked downstairs.
She had only taken a few steps when Shi Mubai's voice came from behind her, "An'an, wait a moment."
"What's wrong, Brother Mubai?" Tang An turned around and looked at Shi Mubai.
Shi Mubai picked up a card from the table and handed it to Tang An. "An'an, this is my credit card. The PIN is your birthday. If you want to buy something or eat something, just swipe the card."
Tang An took the credit card from Shi Mubai, her eyes instantly filling with tears. "Brother Mubai, thank you."
"Silly boy," Shi Mubai patted Tang An's head, "We're family, there's no need to thank me. It's my card, swipe it as you like!"
Tang An sniffed, looked up at Shi Mubai, and said with deep emotion, "Brother Mubai, don't worry, I will always be good to you! In my heart, you will always be my brother!"
"Okay." Shi Mubai nodded. "An'an, you will always be my dearest little sister."
He has no other relatives; from now on, Tang An will be his family.
After Tang An left, Shi Mubai continued drawing with Qi Chengze.
The two drew and chatted, looking for inspiration.
Suddenly, Shi Mubai asked, "Chengze, are you still single?"
"Yes what's the matter?"
Shi Mubai narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "Then shall I introduce you to someone?"
"Really?" Upon hearing this, Qi Chengze immediately became interested. "Is she a great beauty?"
“Of course she’s a stunning beauty! A super stunning beauty!” Shi Mubai said.
"Who is it? Your friend?" Qi Chengze knew Shi Mubai very well.
He has almost no female companions.
Apart from those who are related by blood.
Thinking of this, Qi Chengze looked at Shi Mubai and then asked, "The person you're going to introduce me to isn't your cousin, is it?"
“Yes, that’s right.” Shi Mubai nodded.
Qi Chengze and Shi Mubai were college roommates and have been running a business together for many years. Shi Mubai knows Qi Chengze's character very well. Although he likes beautiful women, his character is impeccable.
Moreover, he is handsome, highly educated, and capable, and his net worth exceeds ten million at only twenty-something years old.
If Tang An and Qi Chengze are together, they will definitely be happy in the future.
As the older brother.
Shi Mubai's greatest wish is for his younger sister to find happiness.
Shi Mubai wouldn't feel comfortable introducing Tang An to anyone else.
Qi Chengze had initially been looking forward to the beautiful woman Shi Mubai had mentioned, but after hearing Shi Mubai's words, he lost all interest.
Qi Chengze licked his lips. "Brother, don't get angry when I say something."
"Go ahead," Shi Mubai said with a smile.
Qi Chengze mentally organized his thoughts before continuing, "Is your cousin's leg a little injured?"
Since what happened last night, Qi Chengze has been investigating Tang An.
You wouldn't know unless you checked.
A check was taken aback.
Tang An's reputation in the capital was absolutely terrible.
Most importantly, Tang An's mother was the murderer who killed the head of the Shi family. Although Tang An was nominally Shi Mubai's cousin, she and Shi Mubai were not related by blood.
Qi Chengze couldn't understand why Shi Mubai was so good to Tang An!
With a mother like that around, Shi Mubai was afraid that Tang An wasn't a good person either.
Upon hearing Qi Chengze's words, Shi Mubai frowned slightly, his expression turning somewhat unpleasant.
Judging from Qi Chengze's words, does he dislike Tang An because of his leg problems?
So what if Tang An has bad legs?
Although she has a slight limp, she is kind-hearted, highly educated, capable, and exceptionally beautiful.
Tang Andu hasn't even complained about Qi Chengze yet!
Qi Chengze, on the other hand, actually looked down on Tang An!
Shi Mubai felt increasingly aggrieved as he thought about it. He looked up at Qi Chengze and said, "Chengze, I introduced my sister to you because you are my best friend and I trust you! I wouldn't feel comfortable with anyone else!"
"Yes, I admit that my sister does have a slight limp, but it's not congenital and it won't affect the next generation!"
Tang An has almost no flaws.
If I absolutely have to say there must be one.
That's a limp!
In Shi Mubai's view, Qi Chengze was the one who benefited from introducing Tang An to Qi Chengze.
How is Qi Chengze?
Get cheap and sell well!
Qi Chengze tried to be tactful and said, "Mu Bai, I know your sister is very outstanding, and you know what kind of person I am. I don't think I'm good enough for your sister."
Hearing this, Shi Mubai felt much better and said with a smile, "It's okay. Although my sister is very outstanding, she is not the kind of vain and materialistic person. Your appearance is a bit lacking, but with me here, my sister shouldn't look down on you."
He was determined to bring Tang An and Qi Chengze together.
Qi Chengze was speechless for a moment, then laughed and said, "Mu Bai, thank you for your kindness, but I don't want to find a girlfriend right now!"
To prevent Shi Mubai from saying anything more, Qi Chengze continued, "Let's hurry up and finish the manuscript!"
“Okay, let’s get the manuscript done first,” Shi Mubai moved the mouse. “Oh, by the way, Chengze, let me give you my sister’s WeChat. Add her. Even though you don’t want a girlfriend right now, you’ll have to eventually. My sister is so outstanding, you’re lucky!”
Qi Chengze: "..." But he didn't want to take advantage of this.
He's made his point so clear, so why won't Shi Mubai let him go?
Since Shi Mubai had already said so, Qi Chengze couldn't refuse any longer and could only reply, "Okay."

the other side.
Tang An arrived at the mall.
She has many things she wants to buy.
But she knew her situation. Although Shi Mubai gave her a card and told her she could spend it as she pleased, she was still someone who was living under someone else's roof.
Since you're living under someone else's roof, you should act like one.
Moreover, credit cards have credit limits.
You won't feel so at ease spending money that isn't your own.
Therefore, Tang An only bought himself a coat.
She was walking out with the coat she had just bought.
boom!
Suddenly someone bumped into me.
"I'm sorry, miss, I didn't mean to."
Tang An's arm hurt a little from the impact. He rubbed his arm and said, "Don't you have eyes?"
