Chapter 157 - Installing the Telephone (2)

“Not bad. You’ve started your own business. How’s it coming along? Shu Jianyang had spent some time around Shu Yan and knew that she was not a simple person. It wasn’t surprising that she opened up her own shop in City Nan.

“So far so good. Makes a living. Nothing compares to Third Brother. How have things been with you?” Shu Yan thought about it for a little while, then asked, “What’s going on with Ye Zhiqiang? Did he try to look for me?”

“That Ye Zhiqiang isn’t entirely useless. I stole one of his projects but he was able to keep the other one.

Don’t tell any one that I am in City Nan no matter what, especially my parents. Honestly, I don’t even know if I run all the way here from Ye Zhiqiang or from them,” said Shu Yan with a bitter smile.

Shu Jianyang sighed. His second uncle and aunt valued boys over girls to the extreme. “Okay. I won’t let anyone know about your whereabout without your consent. Take care of
