Zhu Junjie knew that Zhu Junqiao had arrived. He got up from the sofa and said to Song Lan, who was just about to come out of the kitchen, "I'll go open the door."
"Dr. Wei said you need to rest."
Song Lan did not stop walking.
"I know my body, and opening the door is a small matter that I can handle. Proper movement is also beneficial for recovery."
Zhu Junjie insisted, and Song Lan had no choice but to stop in her tracks.
She had previously lived with Zhu Junjie in the villa, but after Mong Si took over, she moved here with Tong Tong. Only a few people knew her new address.
Now that Yang Jiaojiao and Luan Shan are recovering from childbirth and taking care of their bodies, they won't be here, so it must be Zhu Junqiao and Luan Shan. Luan Shan doesn't have much interaction with Zhu Junjie, and it's working hours now, so Luan Shan won't make a trip for Zhu Junjie. Using the process of elimination, Song Lan quickly knows who rang the doorbell. Zhu Junqiao has been busy with work lately and also has to deal with Mong Si, so he is physically and mentally exhausted.
Mong Si has a sinister personality, and for them, it's like a ticking time bomb that could explode at any moment. Song Lan has considered neutralizing this bomb, but due to Mong Si's relationship with the Zhu Family, she feels it is inappropriate to intervene and can only watch the situation unfold. Zhu Junqiao is part of the Zhu Family; she needs to take care of her parents' feelings and emotions as well as those of Zhu Junjie, while also being mindful of Mong Si. The fact that she has managed to hold on until now is already quite impressive.
Song Lan did not return to the kitchen, but stood in place waiting for Zhu Junqiao.
Just as Song Lan had expected, it was indeed Zhu Junqiao who rang the doorbell.
Upon seeing that the one who opened the door was Zhu Junjie, she immediately rushed over and gave Zhu Junjie a big hug, saying, "Brother, I missed you so much!"
"Do you miss me but not go to the hospital to see me?"
"I want to see you too! There are so many things at the company that I can't find the time. To keep the company stable, I've reached a point where I can't eat or sleep. I only slept for three hours last night; just look at my dark circles."
Zhu Junqiao's words had some exaggeration, but he wasn't completely lying.
Mong Si Although he arrives to work on time, getting him to handle tasks depends on his mood. Sometimes, when he's in a good mood, he handles the work properly without Zhu Junqiao having to say anything. Other times, even if Zhu Junqiao talks until she's blue in the face, he won't lift a finger. Zhu Junqiao now has a certain understanding of his temper. When he's in a good mood, she'll say a few more words, but if she senses that he's in a bad mood, she won't dare to say much, for fear of upsetting him.
Zhu Junqiao put on makeup in the car before getting off in order to gain sympathy from Zhu Junjie and highlight her current miserable state.
Zhu Junjie was a bit harsh with Zhu Junqiao verbally, but he actually has feelings for her. He coldly snorted, "Do you feel happy when I'm at the company?"
"Everyone knows about my abilities. You don't need me to handle the company's affairs!"
Zhu Junqiao climbed up the pole to make Zhu Junjie happy and said some sweet words. When Zhu Junjie heard it, he asked if the person at the company was incompetent.
If that person is really a fake, how can Zhu Junqiao, with a clear conscience, belittle the other person? Zhu Junqiao would even wholeheartedly agree with Zhu Junjie. But Mong Si is also her brother, and he is a brother who had a miserable first half of his life. Zhu Junqiao really can't bear to say anything bad about him anymore. She hesitated, not knowing how to speak for a moment.
Zhu Junjie saw the situation and his face darkened, "How come, after spending a few days with him, you don't know who is closest to you?"
"Brother, I... I don't know how to describe the situation between me and him during this period."
"Why don't you know how to describe it?"
Zhu Junjie expressed dissatisfaction. Mong Si was ruthless in his actions, living on the island like a barbarian. There was certainly no politeness or upbringing in his speech and behavior. Dealing with someone like him required constant vigilance! Zhu Junjie was resolute in his thoughts.
"His advice on handling company matters is sometimes very practical."
More than just practical, it's often right on the money.
With Mong Si's ability, managing a company is more than enough.
Just because of this, Zhu Junqiao became particularly curious about him. In her opinion, Mong Si lives in poor conditions, works as a laborer on the island, and definitely has no opportunity to go to school. However, he has such knowledge and insight, which truly surprises her. Sometimes, she can't help but wonder if the information they found is accurate.
"Will he handle the company's affairs?" Zhu Junjie has also seen Mong Si's information, and he sounded skeptical, "It's not like he found some so-called expert advice online, is it?"
"No, that night, he handled the documents with me. From the speed at which he handled the documents, it's clear that he knows what he's doing."
Zhu Junqiao had a vivid memory of that night.
She followed Zhu Junjie to the sofa, greeted Song Lan as she passed by him. The two siblings chatted without avoiding Song Lan, and she gained a deeper understanding of Mong Si. She secretly wondered where he had learned all this knowledge. Could there be something they hadn't found out? Song Lan seemed lost in thought.
"I don't believe it!"
Zhu Junjie has witnessed the cunning and violence of Mong Si, in his view, Mong Si is just a wild beast that needs to be disciplined and tamed. Culture is not something Mong Si should have.
Zhu Junjie spoke with certainty.
Zhu Junqiao wanted to add that Song Lan gave her a meaningful look.
Zhu Junqiao understood instantly.
Zhu Junjie is stubborn. He believes that when others repeatedly emphasize something as impossible, it only strengthens his own judgment.
If she continues to talk, Zhu Junjie might lose his temper and argue with her. Zhu Junjie has been greatly manipulated by Mong Si, and he now harbors deep hatred towards her, especially disliking when others speak up for Mong Si. Zhu Junqiao took the water glass handed to her by Song Lan, took a sip, and glanced at Zhu Junjie from the corner of her eye.
Zhu Junjie's emotions are indeed fluctuating. He is slightly flushed with anger.
Zhu Junqiao sighed inwardly. What she said was not groundless. Mong Si is indeed different from what they knew. He does have the ability. This is undeniable.
"Perhaps he is a good learner," Song Lan said at the right time, "He can survive in a desperate situation on the island and gain control of the island, which shows that he has a certain level of intelligence. Such a person is very clever." Zhu Junjie heard Song Lan praising Mong Si, and he looked up at her with a somewhat aggrieved expression.
"You and him are identical twins. He is smart, which also means you are smart."
Zhu Junjie directly ignored the first half of Song Lan's sentence, only the word "also" made him uncomfortable, and his expression improved slightly.
"Junqiao, have you had lunch?"
Zhu Junjie is a patient who needs to have three balanced meals a day, as well as Tong Tong. Although she is taking a nap now, she will need to eat when she wakes up later.
