After parting with Du Mingrui, Jiang Qing imdiately sent people to investigate.
As expected, Jian Xi was indeed pregnant with twins.
"Dammit!" she exclaid, stomping her foot in anger.
Why was this damn woman so fortunate?
"I absolutely won’t let you have an easy ti. Mrs. Si’s position can only belong to , Jiang Qing."
In the shadows, cara flashes furiously captured Jiang Qing’s every move with perfect clarity.
「The next morning.」
Before Si Yuhuan showed up to cause trouble, Jian Xi saw the news about the well-known actress and otaku goddess Du Mingrui’s late-night eting with Jiang Qing, the boss of a rival company.
The article included pictures of the two happily chatting over drinks at a bar.
Going behind the boss’s back and secretly scheming was behavior despised by everyone in the industry.
After all, one was a top livestrear and the other a well-known actress, so naturally, many netizens avidly read, shared, and comnted on the news.
Soone boldly guessed, "Could Du Mingrui be a spy sent by Jiang Qing to infiltrate New Fashion dia? The two of them seem so cheerful and familiar, as if they’ve known each other for a long ti."
"Du Mingrui didn’t sign with Jiang Qing but instead ran off to New Fashion dia. There’s definitely no good intention there. Look, as soon as Zhou Yan got injured, all of New Fashion dia’s recent resources have been poured into Du Mingrui. It could be that they’re planning to jointly sabotage the thriving New Fashion dia. Oh my god, if such a great entertainnt company goes bankrupt, I won’t let Jiang Qing off the hook!"
"A fake talent with nothing substantial to offer—what ability does she have to run a company? So big shot must be supporting her from behind. I heard she has an ambiguous relationship with the tycoon Si Yuhuan. Her actions are so despicable; does the great Mr. Si even know about this?"
Wan Yu made a video call, laughing so hard that Jian Xi could almost see her stomach.
"You told to be more cautious and that Du Mingrui seed to have ill intentions. Sure enough, when I had soone tail her, I caught this scene. The two of them actually dared to plot behind my back! Although I don’t know what they discussed, I guess it wasn’t anything good."
"So, what do you plan to do?" Jian Xi couldn’t help but burst out laughing, admiring how her close friend was indeed excellent at rooting out trash.
"Of course, I’m going to propose a contract cancellation," Wan Yu said, lifting her chin. "She dared to sche with that little wretch behind my back, and I’ve caught her red-handed! If I don’t annihilate her to avenge you, my na isn’t Wan!"
"Calm down. Doing it that way would be too easy on them," Jian Xi reminded her with a smile. "You know how a cat plays with a mouse, don’t you?"
"Oh, good! You want to drain her dry before kicking her to the curb? Great idea!"
A student worthy of teaching.
Her best friend was gradually embracing her dark side—excellent!
A heavy stone had always weighed on Jian Xi’s heart. In her previous life, her beloved friend had been dragged down by her, leading to her company’s bankruptcy and her family’s disdain. In this life, she relished guiding Wan Yu to personally slap Jiang Qing across the face. That feeling, incomprehensible to others, was incredibly satisfying!
With pregnant with twins, my reputation destroyed at the banquet, and Du Mingrui continuously running into trouble, Jiang Qing must be as frantic as an ant on a hot pan, right?
I wonder what her next move will be!
Regardless, Si Yuhuan must be very disappointed in her.
BANG!
The door was kicked open.
Without even lifting her eyelids, Jian Xi said, "Director Si, that door was specially ordered from abroad. It’s very expensive. You’ll have to pay for it if it’s broken."
Upon stepping in, Si Yuhuan saw her lying on a chaise lounge, tossing a blueberry into her red, moist lips.
Her long hair, loosely spread out, glittered with a faint golden shine in the sunlight. Her skin was so delicate it seed almost breakable. She was lethally attractive at this mont—as lazy as a cat, both languid and exquisite.
Si Yuhuan froze in place.
At this mont, Jian Xi was very beautiful.
"Director Si, you’re not here to accuse ?" Jian Xi arched her eyebrows, pushed the blanket aside, and rose to stand before Si Yuhuan. "Then I’d like to ask you, Director Si: you gifted another woman an entire company using our marital assets, and then let her run it to the brink of bankruptcy. Don’t I have the right to reclaim it?"
This damn woman! She disgusted him in an instant.
"Don’t use such despicable, underhanded tactics behind my back. Jian Xi, I’ve warned you not to lay a finger on Jiang Qing. Don’t you understand?"
Jiang Qing had been crying herself unconscious repeatedly, claiming she was wronged. She was still in the hospital.
Si Yuhuan took a deep breath. "Tell Wan Yu to retract the news."
He had intended to handle it personally, but President Zhang of Fenghuang Entertainnt intervened. The news had spread too quickly; it was beyond his control to suppress it. Moreover, the trending topic "sugar daddy is a tycoon" implicated him as well. The quickest solution was for Wan Yu to retract the news and issue a statent.
"Sorry, I can’t do that," Jian Xi flatly refused.
She pushed Si Yuhuan away with her small hand and went to the dining room.
Aunt Zhang didn’t dare to get involved in the dispute, hurriedly served breakfast, and quickly made an excuse to return to her room.
Jian Xi nonchalantly ate her sandwich.
She needed to take in more nutrition, or the babies would develop poorly.
Since she had decided to keep them, she had to take responsibility.
"You still have the appetite to eat?" Si Yuhuan, his handso face cold with anger, sat across from her and pushed her plate away.
Jian Xi glared at him and moved it back.
"Si Yuhuan, are you trying to starve for the sake of another woman?"
What a lousy man, a complete scumbag! If it weren’t for the children, she really felt like kicking him out right now.
He dared to hassle her ti and again for that woman, Jiang Qing. Did he think she was a pushover?
Jian Xi furrowed her brows. "Jiang Qing brought this on herself. What does it have to do with us?"
"Besides, can we really shut up the netizens? If you kept your distance from her, why would you get implicated?"
"You’re not even faithful; do you bla netizens for calling you a heartless playboy?"
Unable to help herself, Jian Xi rolled her eyes. "What kind of potion did Jiang Qing give you to make you so willing to slave away for her?"
Si Yuhuan clenched his teeth. "Cut the crap. Withdraw the news imdiately. Don’t force to take action, or New Fashion dia and Yaowang will be wiped out in an instant."
If anyone else had uttered such domineering words, they would certainly be dismissed as boasting. Jian Xi would have laughed and told them to dream on. But coming from Si Yuhuan’s mouth, she knew it was no joke.
She had already experienced firsthand just how capable the man before her was.
"Si Yuhuan, New Fashion dia is Wan Yu’s lifeblood, the result of her years of hard work! You say you’ll erase it just like that; don’t you find that utterly shaless? Just because you’re the top tycoon, you think you can disregard the fruits of others’ labor? Acting so ruthlessly and inhumanely—are you even human?"
Jian Xi’s hands trembled with anger. "Why don’t you ask Jiang Qing why she t Du Mingrui late at night? What kind of plots and sches did the two of them cook up!"
She threw a photo at Si Yuhuan. "This is from the video of Jiang Qing after she left the bar. Look carefully at her lip movents."
Although it was fild from a distance and the audio was inaudible, Jiang Qing’s lip movents clearly ford the words: "Jian Xi, I will not let you go."
Si Yuhuan frowned deeply. He hadn’t expected Jiang Qing to say such words.
