Xie Nancheng, the heir of a top-tier wealthy family, suddenly developed a hidden illness. His pre-arranged marriage partner was swapped, replaced by a young adopted daughter from the countryside to...
Chapter 101: Being Threatened
"Do you think the old lady might have secretly helped? It's absolutely impossible for that orphan girl to know in advance, unless the old lady intervened. You have to know that the old lady likes her very much. After all, if she cured her illness, she would also please her."
"This... I'm not sure, but it shouldn't be the case." Xie Huaishan was also confused.
However, Yang Xin's suspicion is not unreasonable. Although the old lady of the Xie family is old, she is not soft at all.
If the old lady sincerely wanted to protect her, this would make sense.
Hearing that the third room had failed again, Xie Huailan was so angry that she started cursing.
"You're just a coward. You can't rely on any of them."
"Keep your voice down, auntie. This is still a company. Be careful, the walls may have ears." Zhao Hui advised his wife.
Xie Huailan's face turned pale. "It seems that it's safer for me to do it myself."
"Are you still coming?"
"The third room suspects that the old lady has intervened, and you still come. Aren't you afraid of being exposed? Is there any benefit in offending the old lady?" Zhao Hui found his wife's dominance incredible.
"What are you afraid of? I am your biological daughter. That woman is just an outsider. She has only been in the Xie family for a few days. Is a random person worth the old lady's worry?" Xie Huailan did not consider her as a human being. She felt that her own blood could not be replaced.
This is also why she has become more and more courageous in the past two years. She feels that even if she does something excessive, the old lady will not pursue her too much because she is her own daughter.
Shengshi Group President's Office
Xie Nancheng also knew all this.
"Where is Tu Ran?" he asked.
"The young lady still managed to pass the second test successfully after the accident."
"Then I went back to the driving school to make an appointment for the third test."
"Is she scared?" Xie Nancheng thought, in that kind of situation, a girl witnessed an accident with her own eyes, especially when the car was the one she was supposed to take the test in, wouldn't she still be frightened?
Someone like her, how could she not know what it was like to be frightened? Suddenly, I became very curious.
Because ever since she married into the Xie family, Xie Nancheng felt that this woman had no facial expressions except for being angry.
There won't be too much surprise on his face, but he won't show any particular annoyance towards anyone either.
It is what the book calls the state of being unmoved by praise or criticism, which is also a popular word nowadays - emotional stability.
Xie Nancheng himself was extremely emotionally unstable. After all, he was young and energetic, and he was arrogant.
Capable, courageous and executive.
In the group, he is the boss and he will not hesitate to confront anyone with his temper.
But people are sometimes very strange and become interested in people who are completely different from themselves.
He is emotionally unstable, so he is curious about how people with stable emotions can hold back.
"It seems that the young lady is not afraid, otherwise she would not continue to take the second test."
"He is indeed able to keep his composure."
Even Xie Nancheng's men couldn't help but praise her. After all, the young lady was only 22 years old.
If you randomly pick out the female college students out there and see a car accident, they won’t remain indifferent, right?
"What a pervert." Xie Nancheng said to himself.
"Is there any follow-up from the third room?" Xie Nancheng asked.
"Not yet. I don't think they dare to do anything. But the Second House... I'm afraid they can't keep their composure. I heard that Xie Huailan lost her temper in the office and scolded Zhao Hui."
"I see. By the way, you take care of that matter."
The enemies with the second and third wives have been at odds for a long time, even before Tu Ran came.
Now that Tu Ran has married, they have not stopped and have been trying to frame her again and again.
The little girl was very alert and escaped danger, but that doesn't mean his people can be bullied.
Just before getting off work, Yang Xin was ready to leave.
Suddenly I received a mysterious text message. Why is it mysterious?
Because it was from another mobile phone of hers, and the number was newly purchased, Xie Huaishan had no idea about it.
——Is it convenient for us to talk?
After seeing this, Yang Xin looked outside the door and checked that there was no one else, so she secretly called back.
Yang Xin: What's up? I'm not off work yet?
The man on the other side: I need money and I’m a little anxious.
Yang Xin: You want money again?
If I remember correctly, I just gave the other party one million a week ago.
The man on the other end: Well, I’m a bit short of money here and I need something urgently, so I can only come to you, Xiner.
Yang Xin: How much do you need?
Man over there: Five million.
Yang Xin: So much? No, I can't take it out. If I transfer all this money out at once, Xie Huaishan will find out.
The man on the other end: I must receive it within an hour, Xiner, please.
Yang Xin: Tell me the truth, did you go gambling again?
The man on the other side: "No, I promised you I wouldn't gamble anymore. I really need the money urgently. You know I'm working really hard for my career for our future together."
Yang Xin: Five million is too much, I definitely can’t come up with it.
The man on the other side: How could you not take it out? Think of a way.
Yang Xin: I can’t help it.
The man on the other end: Then I can only show the video to your husband.
Yang Xin: What do you mean?
Yang Xin's face changed drastically and she questioned with gritted teeth.
The man on the other side: I don’t want to do this, but I really need money. Xiner, don’t force me, okay?
Yang Xin: Do you have a conscience? Am I not good enough to you?
The man on the other side: Xiner, one hour, five million, I'll wait for you, otherwise... you know.
Beep, beep, the phone is hung up...
Yang Xin's face turned pale...
A few days ago, she was still thinking about meeting her old lover and planning a beautiful future together.
Unexpectedly, in less than a few days, the man threatened her for money. Was it true that he always said that he had her in his heart?
President's Office
"Mr. Xie, the finance department just said that Director Yang is trying to embezzle 5 million yuan of public funds."
"I even specifically told you not to know and that I would return it tomorrow."
"Perhaps in order to maintain confidentiality, he also gave the financial specialist 50,000 yuan as hush money." Jin Yu reported quietly.
"Haha, interesting." Xie Nancheng raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
"The finance department came to ask me secretly what I meant and asked me to ask you."
"Yes, of course I will give it to her."
"But remember to record it and keep evidence." Xie Nancheng sneered.
"Okay, I know what to do."
"Um."
"By the way, Lin Siyao was here today."
"Huh? What is she doing here?" Xie Nancheng frowned. It was true that he felt disgusted when this person was mentioned.
"She wanted to see you, but I refused, saying you weren't in the group. But from what she said, it seemed like she discovered that the young lady was seeing another man, and she insisted on telling you about it. But..."
Jin Yu observed Xie Nancheng's expression as she spoke, "However, Lin Siyao's character is very questionable, and her words cannot be fully trusted. The young lady should be content with having an outstanding man like Mr. Xie by her side. How could she still associate with other men, right?"
It has to be said that Jin Yu is a good talker. He seems to be making excuses for Tu Ran, but in fact he is just adding insult to injury.
He just wanted to use Lin Siyao's incident as an excuse to subtly remind Xie Nancheng about the young lady's matter.
