Chapter 58: I really wanted to strangle her back then

"Stop right there, which side are you on?" Xu Si'an rubbed his temples. "Keep an eye on Shen Zhiwei, I'm afraid she might do something desperate."

Chang Yi sat back on the sofa: "Brother, did you see her tonight?"

"I saw Xu Shiran, but it was her who came."

"Go take a shower, and don't go next door and cause trouble."

Xu Si'an went into the bathroom to take a shower, and threw his shirt and trousers directly into the trash can.

When I was choking her, she touched my shirt sleeve.

The red marks on his arms, which had been wet, became even more noticeable, which annoyed Xu Si'an.

That's fucking filthy.

"Brother, I still say you didn't cheat on me, you're dead meat! I'll make my sister break up with you right now!" Chang Yi stood outside the bathroom banging on the door.

Xu Si'an turned off the water and casually grabbed a bath towel to wrap himself up.

"What are you doing now? Looking for a beating?"

Chang Yi shoved the phone in front of him: "The evidence is conclusive, and you're still trying to deny it. I never thought you were this kind of person, able to eat such disgusting garbage."

Xu Si'an took the phone: [A wealthy young master secretly meets with his sister-in-law]

Xu Si'an sneered; this tactic was still so lame.

But the photos themselves are quite convincing, thanks to the perspective manipulation.

The scene where he was choking Shen Zhiwei, captured by camera angle, looks very much like a choking kiss.

He now regrets choking her; otherwise, his hands wouldn't have gotten dirty.

"You can burn my clothes or throw them away, do whatever you want with them."

Xu Si'an opened the wardrobe and randomly grabbed a set of clothes to put on.

"Brother, what's going on? Did that woman set you up?"

"I went and stabbed her."

Chang Yi turned to leave but Xu Si'an called out to him, "No need, you won't be jumping for long."

"Remember what I told you. No matter what happens, protect Qiao Xu. Nothing else is for you to worry about."

Xu Si'an went next door to knock on the door.

The door opened after a while, and Qiao Xu snorted coldly, "What are you doing here?"

He leaned in and kissed her: "Come on, confess and you'll be treated leniently."

Qiao Xu covered her mouth and took two steps back: "You kissed someone else's lips and then tried to kiss me? I'm a germaphobe, okay?"

Xu Si'an grabbed her hand and led her out the door. With a 'bang,' the door slammed shut, and Qiao Xu was pinned against it.

He placed his scratched hand in front of her, his tone incredibly aggrieved: "Baby, I didn't, she scratched me."

"The person who contacted me was Xu Shiran, regarding the Shen Group's acquisition."

"I didn't know it was her who came."

“She deliberately provoked me, and I really wanted to strangle her at that moment.”

Qiao Xu rolled her eyes: "Why did you pinch her?"

She said—

Xu Si'an's eyes were filled with hostility as he pinched her cheeks and kissed her repeatedly.

"I can't bring myself to say it, it's not a nice thing to say anyway. Qiaoqiao, be good, make sure Ayi goes with you wherever you go. I'm very busy these days, so don't worry about me, okay?"

Qiao Xu grabbed his hand and pressed the elevator button.

Why are we going to the baby's?

"Please don't throw me away."

Qiao Xu dragged him downstairs to the pharmacy and bought a large bottle of saline solution and iodine.

The two sat on a bench by the roadside, and Qiao Xu unscrewed the saline solution and poured it repeatedly into his hand.

Xu Si'an wore a doting smile throughout.

His face was pressed against her neck: "I only love you."

"Don't be reckless."

He nibbled on her ear: "I'm not a flirt, I only have feelings for you."

Qiao Xu glared at him: "Don't do such extreme things like choking people. If she really dies, am I supposed to bring you food to prison this time next year?"

Xu Si'an laughed and said, "No need for that, there's food in prison."

After Qiao Xu finished applying the medicine to his hand, she said with a serious expression, "Xu Si'an, A Yi and I will take my mother home the day after tomorrow. Don't go. Stay home and rest well."

"That won't do. That brat is my son, not mine, right?"

"Qiaoqiao, don't look down on me like that." A son-in-law is like half a son.

Qiao Xu threw the bag of trash into the trash can: "No, you've been getting up in the middle of the night to handle things lately."

I haven't slept well at all.

They would argue once or twice every night, and Xu Si'an would go to the living room to work after she fell asleep.

Qiao Xu didn't know what he was busy with, but her intuition told her that it was related to her.

Xu Si'an put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her into his embrace: "Don't worry, whether I sleep or not is not important, but you, I must sleep with you once or twice every night."

Listen to this.

A dog's mouth can't speak human language.

We shouldn't pity him.

Song Jia called to ask if they needed to remove the trending topic.

"No need. Ask Mr. Si to check the video in the private room, mute the footage, and then send it out."

Removing it would only make things worse, wouldn't it?

The best way to resolve public opinion is to create another kind of public opinion.

Along with the truth, another piece of news emerged: [A young lady from a wealthy family was having an affair with her kept male companion.]

A crack appeared in the floor-to-ceiling glass of the Xu Group's office, and Xu Shiran stood in front of the glass window.

When he saw the first trending topic an hour ago, he felt nothing.

He knew about their meeting, which was related to the Shen Group. Shen Zhiwei was the eldest daughter of the Shen Group and also a shareholder. Xu Shiran didn't see anything wrong with her going.

He knew that if Xu Si'an was interested in Shen Zhiwei, then this marriage wouldn't be his turn at all.

But the second one...

Even if he already knew, what man could tolerate his wife cheating on him time and time again?

"Mr. Xu."

"Get out!" He yelled at the assistant as he pushed the door open.

Shen Zhiwei, standing outside the door, had a stiff expression.

"husband."

Xu Shiran closed his eyes briefly, suppressing his unease: "Why are you here?"

The finger marks on Shen Zhiwei's neck were very obvious. He frowned slightly and said, "How did it get so serious? I'll take you to the hospital."

In the end, he still loved her.

"I just begged him to let the Shen family go. Honey, have I caused you trouble again?"

Xu Shiran let out a sigh of relief: "It's okay, let's go to the hospital first. You're pregnant, you can't take any medicine without consulting a doctor."

After applying the medicine, Xu Shiran had the doctor give Shen Zhiwei a check-up.

The ultrasound report shows that she is nine weeks pregnant, so the baby was conceived in the United States?

"Honey, what's wrong?"

Xu Shiran held her hand and said, "It's okay. I'll handle Si'an's situation. Don't see him recently. Stay home and don't go out too much. The doctor said you can't travel around for three months."

That evening, the Xu Group held an emergency press conference, where Xu Si'an's identity was also revealed.

Xu Si'an tagged the official account of the Xu Group online: "Although I look down on those insignificant people, I'm the only one who truly belongs to the family."

A paternity test result showing that Xu Shiran was not related to him by blood was included.

The following day, the Xu Group held a board meeting to try and drag Xu Shiran into the mess.

However, they were also doing futile work. Xu Shiran held 40% of Xu's shares, more than Xu Si'an held.

Moreover, he had been in power at Xu's company for many years, and many directors were loyal to him.

Upon learning the news, Xu's mother went to the Xu Group and retrieved Xu's father's will, which he had left behind before his death.

The shares under Xu Si'an's name also belong to Xu Shiran.

"These days, people act like robbers with such self-righteousness." Xu Si'an appeared in the conference room of the Xu Group, a playful smile on his lips.
