CHAPTER 215 (2/2)
Xie Xi had a general understanding of Jiang Xie’s situation.
Jiang Xie’s parents died early and his sister, Jiang Hong propped up the family company, becoming a solid and strong woman.
Jiang Xie didn’t disappoint his sister and had always been excellent. By the age of 17, he had achievements that ordinary people couldn’t match.
Now Jiang Hong had a problem with her body and her life was in danger.
The Jiang Company had worked hard to gain a foothold and it was reaching the next level. If Jiang Hong’s illness was exposed then a storm would occur.
As a last resort, the similar looking brother and sister came up with such a move.
Jiang Xie took on his sister’s appearance while Jiang Hong worked at home, trying to get the project she had worked on for more than a year.
As long as the project was stabilized, there would be no major problems in the next five or six years. After five or six years, Jiang Xie would be enough to support this industry.
In fact, Jiang Xie wanted his sister to let go of these things and safely recuperate.
However, Jiang Hong had a strong personality and he was afraid that making her give up would only aggravate her illness. Therefore, Jiang Xie had to cooperate with her to complete this project as soon as possible to make her more comfortable.
The secret of the brother and sister was quite stable. They were really similar, Jiang Hong was tall enough and Jiang Xie’s attention to detail meant he could perfectly dress like her. Secondly, there were confidants who knew the secrets of the siblings. They were more afraid of the company being ruined than the siblings and helped to maintain them in a comprehensive manner.
There was only one variable and that was Xie Xi. Jiang Xie didn’t tell Jiang Hong about Xie Xi because there wasn’t anything worth mentioning. He only gave this person a ride home.
The next memories had no important information and Xie Xi skipped until they met for the second time.
It was another party and it looked like a charity party. Jiang Xie was still wearing a long-sleeved evening gown with a collar and gloves of the same colour, so that it covered his Adam’s apple and fingers.
He took advantage of how he grew up well and looked good. However, it was difficult to cover up the voice. A young man of 17 was out of the awkward growing stage and it was difficult to make a woman’s soft voice.
Fortunately, there was the excuse of his voice discomfort.
At the party, a middle-aged man was talking with Jiang Xie. He seemed interested in cooperating on a project.
Jiang Xie had been dressed as his sister for a while and his practical experience and vigilance were present. He wasn’t fooled but it wasn’t convenient to speak, making him annoyed.
At this time, Xie Xi gave him an excuse, “Chief Jiang’s voice is still recovering and she can’t speak loudly. Why don’t you go to an interview at the company tomorrow?”
The middle-aged man was stunned after seeing Xie Xi and smiled. “Hey, I was just talking about things.”
Xie Xi smiled but it didn’t reach his eyes.
The middle-aged man left and Jiang Xie whispered, “Thank you.”
“What is there to thank? I am thankful for you sending me home last time.”
In front of outsiders, it was Chief Jiang while it was Miss Jiang in private. This name was still polite but gave off a different feeling.
Jiang Xie replied, “It was nothing.”
Xie Xi seemed to think it was slightly noisy and leaned forward slightly. “Why hasn’t your voice recovered after so long. There is a doctor I am familiar with and I can ask him to examine it again.”
Jiang Xie’s back was tense and his eyes flashed a bit as he lowered his voice. “I just need to speak less and it will slowly recover.’
Xie Xi sighed. “It is no wonder. Miss Jiang has to speak all the time at meetings and you can’t speak less.”
Jiang Xie smiled uncomfortably.
Xie Xi added, “There is no way at the company but you should try to talk less when going out.”
Jiang Xie nodded.
Xie Xi no longer said anything but spent all night intentionally protecting him.
Rationally, Xie Xi didn’t need to do anything and someone else would guide this person. Yet Xie Xi gently and thoughtfully helped and how could Miss Jiang endure it? He lost his soul in minutes.
Xie Xi could basically guess the development afterwards.
At another private party, Xie Xi drank too much and happened to have an encounter with Miss Jiang by the pool.
Xie Xi greeted this person with a smile. The joy in Jiang Xie’s eyes couldn’t be concealed.
Xie Xi held a cigarette in his hand and he saw Jiang Xie’s slight frown. He quickly put out the cigarette and said, “I’m sorry.”
Jiang Xie told him, “It’s fine.”
Xie Xi threw the cigarette into the trash can and swayed as he came over. Jiang Xie was startled. “Be careful.”
Unfortunately, Xie Xi still accidentally fell into the pool. It was a deep water area and he didn’t seem able to swim. He moved further and further away from the edge.
It was reasonable to say that at this time, Jiang Xie could pull Xie Xi back with the rescue pole next to him or shout and a professional would come over.
However, Jiang Xie saw Xie Xi’s panicked experience and didn’t think as he jumped down. He held Xie Xi and said, “Don’t be afraid. I will take you back to the edge.”
Xie Xi originally planned this and didn’t make a fuss. He let Jiang Xie drag him back.
The two of them emerged from the water. Xie Xi had swallowed a few mouthfuls of water and his coughing was very fierce.
Jiang Xie patted him on the back and asked, “Are you okay?”
“I-It’s fine…” He looked at this person. “Miss Jiang, I made a fool of myself…”
As he spoke, he looked up at Jiang Xie.
Jiang Xie’s face was anxious and he didn’t know that his clothes had been torn open at the neck.
Xie Xi stared at this person’s neck in a stunned manner. Jiang Xie felt strange and reached out, only to find that the tight collar had been ripped loose and slid down.
The ‘gobsmacked’ Xie Xi. “Miss Jiang, you…”
Jiang Xie knew it couldn’t be hidden anymore and his impression of Xie Xi was very good. Thus, he smiled wryly and said, “Sorry, I have been deceiving you. In fact, I am Jiang Xie.”
He didn’t lower his voice and completely exposed himself in front of Xie Xi.
Xie Xi pretended to be shocked and asked, “What is going on?”
Jiang Xie didn’t explain it and only extended his hand. “Let’s go and change clothes first. The weather is cold and Mr. XIe drank wine. You are soaked and it is easy to get sick.”
Xie Xi still seemed to be in chaos. He took Jiang Xie’s hand and as he got up, he slipped again.
Jiang Xie wasn’t paying attention and was pulled hard against this person.
