After Jian Xi had checked, she confird again and again that Jiang Qing had moved away.
The house was empty, showing no trace of soone having lived there.
She hesitated but still called Wan Yu. "You have more sources of information; help find out why Jiang Qing moved away from Champagne Garden."
Without knowing her enemies as well as she knew herself, her god’s-eye view was greatly affected.
Wan Yu advised her, "Get a good night’s sleep and stop thinking about all that stuff. Maybe it’s because you’ve been interacting with Si Yuhuan too much lately; she might be playing hard to get to catch Si Yuhuan’s attention."
With her rich experience in love, Jian Xi had no doubt.
"If I were you, since you can’t easily divorce now, I’d get closer to Si Yuhuan, ideally snatching him away and infuriating Jiang Qing, that third sister! Let her strut around triumphantly!"
Wan Yu’s words ignited a small fla inside Jian Xi. Wan Yu hung up, content to let Jian Xi venture into the ’ocean of n’.
Jian Xi then called Si Yuhuan.
She just wanted to know what he was doing, whether he was with Jiang Qing or not, and if they were together, what they were doing.
Unexpectedly, the call connected quickly.
"What is it?"
Listening to his serious tone, tinged with a bit of fatigue, Jian Xi cautiously asked, "You’re working?"
"Yeah."
At three in the morning, he wasn’t sleeping peacefully but was working!
Jian Xi was inwardly startled.
She had intended to go ho but, realizing Wan Yu had a point, she took so KFC to Haohan Group instead.
The entire building was dark, except for the CEO’s office, which was as bright as day.
Not even the secretarial office had anyone in it.
Yan Qing had probably finished work already.
Jian Xi pushed the door open and entered.
Si Yuhuan, hidden behind a tall pile of docunts, lifted his head at the sound, his handso, stubbled face breathtakingly charming.
He truly was the type she adored down to her very bones.
Jian Xi collected herself and walked over with a smile, carrying the food. "Hungry, right? I’ve co to visit and comfort my hardworking husband."
She set out the fast food she had bought on a whim on the table in the reception area.
Si Yuhuan furrowed his brow, looking at Jian Xi as if she were an idiot. "Having a fit?"
She hadn’t done sothing like this in a long ti. So long it felt like an eternity.
Before, she used to enjoy making delicious, appetizing ho-cooked dishes, but back then, he wouldn’t even glance at them.
"Want to give it a try? I just bought it, and it’s still hot! Nothing else is available at this hour. Will this do?" Being this virtuous, she must be more considerate than Jiang Qing.
Jian Xi tossed a burger over.
Si Yuhuan caught it. As he slled it, his stomach growled right on cue.
Jian Xi quickly pressed her advantage. "There’s also a chicken wrap! You have to have cola with these."
"Your life is too monotonous; you really should try all the delicious things out there. Even junk food offers worldly flavors to savor."
Without waiting for Si Yuhuan to refuse, Jian Xi directly stuffed the burger into his mouth. "How is it? Isn’t it delicious?"
Si Yuhuan chewed. The taste wasn’t as unbearable as he’d expected. It wasn’t as good as what a personal chef would make and was a bit greasy, but it was satisfyingly filling.
He looked at the fries Jian Xi was eating. "Those, give them to ."
"Sure!" Jian Xi quickly pushed them all his way.
The two of them ate with relish, and in a short ti, they had devoured more than half of it.
Si Yuhuan really was a picky eater. While he was choosy, Jian Xi ended up eating even more than he did and eventually lounged on the sofa, feeling stuffed.
"I’ve never seen a woman so lacking in decorum whether standing or sitting. It really makes wonder if the poised and proper woman from before was truly you, or if you’ve beco an entirely different person."
Suddenly, Si Yuhuan leaned closer, his magnified handso face making Jian Xi’s heart skip a beat.
Had he discovered sothing?
Jian Xi felt her blood run cold, her muscles instantly numb, making it difficult to move even slightly.
Si Yuhuan raised his hand and, with a disgusted expression, wiped the fry crumbs from the corner of her mouth.
"Don’t you know how to wipe your mouth after eating?"
Jian Xi gasped. "I... I... I..."
It seed he hadn’t discovered anything.
"Mind your own business!"
She turned around, scared half to death.
She said defiantly, "I’ve been a lady for so many years, and it hasn’t changed your mind about . Since I can’t make you love , I might as well let myself go."
Si Yuhuan’s mouth twitched. This woman was becoming increasingly shaless. She’d say anything.
But her words did stir a strange feeling in his heart.
He looked up when he heard a click.
Jian Xi was using her phone to take pictures one after another, even affectionately made a peace sign, her smile revealing small, white teeth.
"What are you doing?" Si Yuhuan clearly didn’t like being photographed.
Jian Xi said nonchalantly, "Keeping it as a nto."
After that, she picked up her bag and left.
Si Yuhuan was utterly confused.
Did she really just co to bring him food? It didn’t seem like her usual style these past few days.
After Jian Xi left, she imdiately posted an update to her social circle: "Brought a loving dinner to my husband. Seeing him happy makes happy too."
This post was aid at Jiang Qing.
On her drive back, Wan Yu called her.
"Huge news! You didn’t see it, but Jiang Qing was at the bar again just now, attracting a crowd of lechers. However, she seed to be in a bad mood and went straight into the VIP room. Si Junyan followed her right in. Do you think he’s having an affair with Jiang Qing?"
Suddenly, Jian Xi’s phone pinged with several incoming pictures.
Wan Yu laughed cunningly. "That guy actually dares to compete with his brother for a woman. Keep these photos, and when you’ve had enough of them, release them. I don’t believe Jiang Qing will be able to clear her na."
Jian Xi felt that Wan Yu was truly a reborn powerhouse! To have anticipated all this. Brilliant!
"Alright, I’ll keep the photos."
Jian Xi hesitated for a second and then sent the pictures directly to Si Yuhuan.
After sending them, she turned off her phone and drove ho.
As soon as she entered the door, her elder brother asked, "You didn’t go back to the old residence?"
"Hmm, not going back today."
And she didn’t want to go back after that either. If possible, she wanted to get a divorce from that jerk Si Yuhuan as soon as possible!
"Old Master Si called our parents today."
"What?" Jian Xi hurriedly rushed over to her brother. "What did he say?"
"With the New Year approaching, how about the Si Family and the Jian Family celebrate together?"
"No way!" Jian Xi instantly refused without a second thought.
Why, after her rebirth, was there increasing contact between the two families? She didn’t want too many people involved when the tragedy happened.
"Mom and Dad have already agreed."
Jian Xi felt like she was going to pass out from anger.
"Prepare yourself well!" Jian Mingcheng patted her on the shoulder and went upstairs.
Jian Xi sat in the living room, resting her chin on her hand. This is so annoying.
Then it struck her: Si Yuhuan was going to pick up Jiang Qing today. This would likely cause a dia frenzy. Once the scandal broke, her parents would surely refuse any further dealings with the Si Family and might even support their divorce. Suddenly, her mood lifted.
She joyfully soaked in the hot bath, unaware of the commotion likely unfolding at the bar.
She was really looking forward to waking up tomorrow morning to find the news plastered with scandals about Jiang Qing and Si Yuhuan!
