Chapter 15: Is she jealous?
Back in his office, Han Xu steeled himself and reported the truth:
"Mr. Xie, the whistleblower... is your wife."
"Jiang Shiyuan?!" Xie Jinghuai's phoenix eyes widened in shock.
The next second, a heavy gloom enveloped his handsome, sculpted face.
"I sent someone to find out."
Han Xu, observing the situation carefully, began to speak cautiously, "In the two years that my wife has worked in the R&D department, it seems that she has suffered quite a bit from Yang Jing's刁难 (difficulties/challenges). She often assigns her tasks that are difficult to complete, including the time she was asked to wipe the car in the lobby, which was also at Yang Jing's behest."
Xie Jinghuai's face darkened. "No matter how incompetent or useless Jiang Shiyuan is, she's still my woman. Does Yang Jing have some kind of death wish?"
Han Xu looked helpless. "President Xie, no one in the entire group knows your wife's identity. You've never revealed it to the public."
The man suddenly froze.
He remembered; he hadn't made it public. For five years, he hadn't even sent Jiang Shiyuan to the company to see him, not even once.
Not only that, when Jiang Shiyuan decided to work for the group, he also gave instructions that she should not be given any special treatment and should receive the same treatment as other employees.
He thought that if he challenged her a bit, that pampered woman would give up after a short time and obediently go home to do housework and take care of the children.
Unexpectedly, she worked quietly for two years and even went to the most demanding R&D department.
Xie Jinghuai sat on the sofa with his long legs spread wide, forcefully loosening his tie, but still felt short of breath.
He suddenly realized that Jiang Shiyuan's sudden public resignation that day was not because she couldn't stand Yang Jing's bullying, but because she couldn't stand him bringing Zhixin to the R&D department and couldn't stand her own sister climbing over her.
She was driven by jealousy.
But does this prove that she's extremely jealous and cares about him a lot?
Having reached this point in his thoughts, the man seemed to find satisfaction in himself, letting out a cold laugh:
"Why give up being a perfectly good CEO's wife and insist on going to the grassroots level to suffer? Isn't she asking for it by being wronged?"
I married her because I valued her honesty, integrity, and obedience. But she insists on proving to me that she's a career woman like Zhixin—it's utterly ridiculous!
Han Xu couldn't say anything, so he could only continue, "President Xie, the public relations director just sent me a message. They are doing their best to control the comments, but the trending topics on major platforms are still very high."
He suspects that a team is pulling the strings behind the scenes, waging a propaganda war against us.
Xie Jinghuai tilted his head back, pinching his aching brow, his chest churning with the restlessness stirred up by Jiang Shiyuan:
"Investigate the mastermind behind this."
"yes."
The Xie Group is a leading group in Beijing and has always enjoyed a good reputation in the industry.
If not handled properly, such a scandal will inevitably have a serious impact on the sales of Xie's new energy vehicles that are about to be launched.
It's all that woman's doing!
Acting rashly, she dragged Xie into a quagmire of public opinion. She was truly like someone who put on an apron while naked—thinking of the consequences but not the outcome!
Xie Jinghuai's handsome face darkened, and he grew angrier the more he thought about it. He dialed Jiang Shiyuan's number.
As a result, he called three times but the other party did not answer. On the fourth time, the other party hung up directly.
No one had ever dared to ignore Xie Jinghuai's calls within three calls.
Jiang Shiyuan used to answer instantly, never before had he been so negligent.
Anger surged in Xie Jinghuai's eyes as he gritted his teeth and sent a WeChat message to Jiang Shiyuan:
[Jiang Shiyuan, do you know how much trouble your impulsive actions have caused the company? Don't you feel even a little bit ashamed?]
There was no reply from them.
Are you retaliating against me for transferring Zhixin to the R&D department as director? Is it meaningful for you to throw this tantrum?
I promoted Zhixin because she has the ability to lead the R&D team and make the Xie Group better. If you had the ability, I would give you the same opportunity, but do you?
Still no reply.
Xie Jinghuai was too lazy to type so many words, so he sent a voice message instead:
"Tomorrow, Grandma is coming back from her medical treatment abroad. She's finally feeling a bit better, so go back to the old house and see her."
After a while, my phone vibrated.
[Jiang Shiyuan: 1]
1?!
Xie Jinghuai stared intently at the number, feeling a heavy, oppressive feeling rise to his chest, almost making him want to crush the screen.
This woman is really something, she won't even reply to him with a normal word!
*
Jiang Shiyuan hung up on Xie Jinghuai's calls one after another because she knew exactly what he wanted to say.
It's nothing more than blaming, complaining, venting negative emotions, praising Lin Zhixin, and taking a jab at her.
She didn't want to hear his barking; it would only spoil her mood.
However, when the man mentioned his grandmother, Jiang Shiyuan couldn't help but reply to him.
After all, during her five years in the Xie family, the only warmth she received came from her grandmother. Only her grandmother truly accepted her and gave her the dignity of being the young mistress of the Xie family.
Instead of treating her like an ornament and trampling her self-esteem underfoot like the rest of the Xie family.
As evening fell, the red Ferrari stylishly drifted and stopped outside Ye Yu's law firm.
Jiang Shiyuan opened the car door and got out. Ye Yu, dressed in a smart suit, came forward to greet her personally.
The law firm staff peeked out, exclaiming in surprise:
"Miss Jiang is here again! Oh my god, she's so beautiful, I feel like my eyes have been cleansed!"
"Mr. Ye is such a proud and aloof person. Even important clients have to come to him in person. Yet he personally came out to greet this young lady. Could they be in a relationship?"
"If she's Mr. Ye's girlfriend, then I'm willing to step aside!"
"Hilarious! What are you doing? President Ye didn't even give you a second glance!"
Jiang Shiyuan, led by Ye Yu, arrived at his office.
"Ah Yuan, what would you like to drink? Would coffee be alright?"
Just as Ye Yu was about to ring the bell to have his secretary bring in coffee, Jiang Shiyuan spoke softly:
"Senior, no need to trouble yourself. I came to ask about the girl."
Upon hearing this, Ye Yu sighed, "Although the police have evidence, she intends to sign a settlement agreement."
Jiang Shiyuan frowned. "Reconcile? Why?"
“Ah Yuan, you should be able to figure this out.”
She understood instantly.
She was probably afraid of Manager Wu's power, and this matter also involved the reputation of the Xie Group. She was under too much pressure and couldn't take it anymore.
"Senior, contact her and tell her to sue without worry. The sky won't fall, and even if it does, I'll be there for her."
Jiang Shiyuan took a deep breath, her eyes blazing, "We must sue Yang Jing to the very end."
“Ah Yuan, you helped that girl fight against Xie's Capital and reported Yang Jing's matter. It has probably already reached Xie Jinghuai.”
Ye Yu placed the coffee cup in front of her, looking at her meaningfully, "Aren't you afraid he'll retaliate against you later?"
"If he has the guts, let him try. I'm not afraid."
Suddenly, Jiang Shiyuan smiled and said, "Senior brother, are you afraid that Diao Jinghuai will retaliate against you?"
"Hmph, what a hypocrite! Come at me if you dare."
Ye Yu sat casually on the sofa, his long legs slightly apart, looking relaxed and carefree. "I've been wanting to meet him for a long time, but I've been worried about not having the chance."
Just then, Yin Meng sent a WeChat message:
[Shi Yuan, someone posted the video of you confronting Yang Jing online, and now the whole internet is talking about you!]
Some people say you are President Xie's wife, the president's wife of the Xie Group! Is that true?!
