Chapter 187 Jiang Shiyuan, Let's Make a Deal

As dusk settles, the city lights begin to twinkle.

Jiang Shiyuan arrived at the six-star hotel under the Xie Group on time.

Many famous celebrities have held grand weddings here, and many celebrities feel that being able to secure a banquet date here is something to be proud of.

However, despite once being the "noble" wife of the president of the Xie Group, she has never eaten a single meal here, let alone held a banquet or gotten married here.

Her wedding was just a simple, hastily arranged meal at the old house, with two tables of people having to watch the moods of the Xie and Lin families.

If she were to eat that meal again, she might get an intestinal obstruction.

"Hey, look at that woman, dressed like that, walking into our hotel lobby. How dare she!" The waiters cast disdainful glances at Jiang Shiyuan.

"Exactly! I have no idea where she came from, she's so incredibly rustic! After she leaves, have the cleaning staff come over and make sure to wipe down the places she walked on properly, and spray some high-end perfume to purify the air!"

"But didn't you guys notice? She's really beautiful, and she's obviously not wearing any makeup!"

A couple of days ago, Mr. Xie brought Ms. Lin to dinner. I thought Ms. Lin was quite refined and beautiful, but compared to this lady, she was slightly less striking.

"Hey, watch your mouth! You dare to gossip about Miss Lin behind her back? Don't you want to lose your job? She's the apple of President Xie's eye!"

Jiang Shiyuan heard these gossips, but she didn't care.

However, it seems that Xie Jinghuai often brought Lin Zhixin here.

Of course, she firmly believed that their relationship wouldn't be just about having a meal. Shouldn't they do some lovemaking afterward to help with digestion?

"Mrs!"

Jiang Shiyuan frowned as she saw Han Xu hurriedly walk up to her with two subordinates, and then bow respectfully to her.

"Secretary Han, please don't do this. I'm no longer Mrs. Xie," Jiang Shiyuan reminded her seriously.

Whether in private or in public, even if she cannot publicly disclose her marital status, she must draw a clear line between herself and Xie Jinghuai.

The gossiping waiters over there were so frightened they were completely paralyzed.

"Did you all hear what Secretary Han called that woman? 'Madam'?!"

"Whose wife? Mr. Xie's wife? Mr. Xie has such an unpresentable wife? That doesn't make sense!"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! We must have misheard!"

Hearing the cricket chirping, Han Xu glanced coldly to the side, then looked at Jiang Shiyuan with a smile, but lowered his voice:

"After all, you haven't completed the legal procedures with Mr. Xie yet, and you are still Mr. Xie's wife."

Han Xu paused, then smiled, "As for those blind, gossipy women, please don't take them to heart; I will handle them myself."

"There's no need for that. First, I don't care, and second, they're not talking nonsense."

After saying that, Jiang Shiyuan looked ahead and left gracefully.

His aura was indescribably powerful.

Han Xu watched her retreating figure, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

He used to think that although his wife was gentle, she seemed somewhat tepid, weak, aggrieved, and lacking in confidence because of Mr. Xie's overly noble status and his overly assertive nature.

However, now that she has left Mr. Xie's wife, she seems to have gradually stepped out of the shadows and into the sunlight. She exudes a vibrant life force, with a resolute gaze and a radiant look. She is indeed becoming more and more dazzling.

"Did you write down who those people were who were talking nonsense just now?"

Subordinate: "Understood."

"Today, they will all be expelled." Han Xu coldly uttered these words, then followed Jiang Shiyuan.

...

Han Xu opened the door to the VIP box, and Jiang Shiyuan walked in with a cold expression.

At this moment, Xie Jinghuai was sitting on the sofa with his long legs crossed, smoking. As he exhaled the smoke, wisps of white smoke, like the cold mist emanating from an iceberg, blurred his handsome face, which was so cold and aloof that it was almost unapproachable.

Jiang Shiyuan frowned and coughed softly.

She disliked the smell of smoke, and her sensitive nose made her feel nauseous and uncomfortable. Yet, over the years, Xie Jinghuai seemed never to have noticed this.

However, this time, Xie Jinghuai sensed her discomfort. After exhaling the last wisp of smoke, he reached into the ashtray with his long fingers and extinguished the cigarette butt.

"Your company has had such a big incident, yet you remain calm and unhurried." Xie Jinghuai raised his chin slightly, his gaze towards her carrying a hint of arrogance.

Jiang Shiyuan met his extremely imposing gaze and sneered, "Now that things have come to this, there's nothing to rush. Losing your head is just a small scar, at worst it's bankruptcy."

The man's pupils darkened.

"Speak your mind quickly. If you're here to laugh at me or beg for mercy, then there's no need for that. Even if the sky falls, I won't shed a single tear."

After all, she had shed too many tears for him over the past five years. It was time to pay off the karmic debts of her past life in this one.

Xie Jinghuai narrowed his phoenix eyes, his voice carrying an icy aura, "Heh, that sounds pretty tough. If you were really that desperate, you wouldn't be standing in front of me right now."

As he spoke, he slowly stood up and approached her step by step, his strong, spicy, and slightly bitter masculine scent enveloping her.

Jiang Shiyuan's heart tightened, and he staggered backward until his back hit the wall with a thud before he stopped.

Their toes brushed against each other unintentionally, and the man's spotless, bespoke black leather shoes seemed to reflect a hint of her panic and embarrassment.

"Jiang Shiyuan, let's make a deal."

Xie Jinghuai looked down at her, a deep possessiveness silently growing in his dark eyes, stretching into threads and weaving into a net, wanting to overwhelm and control her. "Come back to my side. I don't need you to know anything or learn anything, nor do I need you to have Zhixin's talents. As long as you teach Tongtong well, the position of the Xie family's mistress will always be yours."

Jiang Shiyuan laughed when she heard this.

That scoundrel, does he really think being his wife is such a wonderful thing?

That's so abstract, and so shameless!

"If you agree, I will immediately give up the pursuit of compensation. Not only that, I will provide Yongheng with full support in terms of technology and funds, so that the lifeblood left by your mother in this world can be brought back to life."

Xie Jinghuai leaned forward, his imposing presence and breaths mingling, his tone nonchalant, as if he had her completely under his control. "I know that your father's Yuntu Oriental Technology has completely crushed your mother's company over the past ten years, and this has always been a knot in your heart."

As your mother's only daughter, you must also hope that Eternity will flourish in your hands, to comfort your mother's soul in heaven. I am now giving you this opportunity; you must cherish it.

Jiang Shiyuan felt a heavy thud in her chest. This cold-hearted man's handsome face twisted and contorted in her reddened eyes, becoming unrecognizable.

Whether in the past or present, he always refers to her as "your mother".

He had never even called her mother "Mom," yet now he shamelessly forced her to go back and be his wife. Could there be anything more absurd and ridiculous in the world?

He used Yuntu Dongfang as leverage, implying that he was helping the Lin family to suppress the Jiang family.

Little did they know that Yuntu's current status was entirely due to Lin Chengchou climbing on her mother's body, drinking her mother's blood, and eating her mother's blood-soaked buns!

"Xie Jinghuai, have you forgotten that you are the one who caused the current situation in Yongheng?"

A crimson hatred welled up in Jiang Shiyuan's eyes. Her slender fingers jabbed hard into his hard chest. "You're clearly a cruel executioner, yet you put on a savior act in front of me. I've seen people with thick skin, but I've never seen anyone with two skins this thick before."

The title of Mrs. Xie is like garbage, dog shit, utterly repulsive to me. And Yongheng doesn't care for your stinking money; keep it as your dowry when you marry Lin Zhixin!
