Chapter 225 A Strong Sense of Crisis Arrives
"I thought I was hallucinating! Is it really your wife?!"
Shen Zhantang was extremely surprised. He leaned close to Xie Jinghuai's frozen ear and kept muttering, "No, she usually doesn't leave the house. What is she doing here today?"
She's a housewife who doesn't work; without you, she'd be unemployed. Where did she get an invitation to come here? Who gave her the courage?
"Wait a minute... Jiang Shiyuan isn't here to embarrass you or sabotage your event, is he?!"
"Get out." Xie Jinghuai's phoenix eyes were fierce, and his voice was cold and deep.
Shen Zhantang was silenced, but he was still worried for his good brother and looked at Lin Zhixin with concern.
Sure enough, Lin Zhixin's expression darkened instantly, and she pressed her luscious lips tightly together.
In their previous encounters, Shen Zhantang had seen through the sharp claws hidden beneath Jiang Shiyuan's gentle and refined exterior, and had witnessed the dark, fierce, and restless side of this woman.
If she were to see Ah Huai and Lin Zhixin together on this occasion and start making a scene with ill intent, Ah Huai and Miss Lin would lose face and become a laughing stock!
"President Jiang, look over there!" Yin Meng stood behind Jiang Shiyuan and whispered a reminder.
Jiang Shiyuan was in a great mood, her soft lips curving upwards. "I don't need to look, and I don't want to look, because it's unnecessary."
Yin Meng snorted, "Yeah, they're a pair of adulterers no matter how you look at them. Looking at them might give you a sty, it's so unlucky!"
Jiang Shiyuan was in a particularly good mood to be able to attend the summit today.
From a young age, she admired her mother and longed to be a career woman like her mother when she grew up.
After she got married, she always hoped to attend the technology summit and broaden her horizons. She made this request to Xie Jinghuai more than once.
She was refused by Xie Jinghuai several times, but later he probably felt it wouldn't be right to refuse again, so he arranged a lot of childcare work for her, leaving her overwhelmed. For the sake of the child, she never made any more requests after that.
She suppressed her emotions and true nature, just so Xie Jinghuai wouldn't think she was a selfish woman who only cared about her own happiness and not about her children. At that time, her desire to make the man fall in love with her and to be a qualified Mrs. Xie outweighed everything else.
Looking back now, it was truly pathetic, humiliating, and laughable.
On the other side, Xie Jinghuai's gaze was captivated by Jiang Shiyuan, who looked exceptionally stunning and confident today, and he followed her figure.
In my memory, Jiang Shiyuan had never worn such luxurious clothes, nor had she ever appeared so radiant and dazzling.
If what he saw at that school sports meet was Jiang Shiyuan's spirited and vibrant youth, like a cheerful and bright young girl.
So the Jiang Shiyuan in front of us is a confident and powerful queen!
"Brother Jinghuai? Brother Jinghuai!" Lin Zhixin tugged at the man's sleeve, biting her lip until it almost bled, clearly annoyed.
Xie Jinghuai seemed distracted, "What's wrong?"
Lin Zhixin had never seen Xie Jinghuai look at Jiang Shiyuan with such a direct gaze; it was the look a man gives a woman.
There was even a hint of longing.
Suppressing her jealousy, she asked in a soft voice, "Brother Jinghuai, why is my sister here all of a sudden? Did you invite her?"
Xie Jinghuai narrowed his phoenix eyes, suppressing his emotions, and continued to speak coldly:
"I invite her? Even if I wanted to give her a chance, she'd have to be up to the task. Otherwise, what can she do besides be a blabbermouth and just join in the fun?"
Hearing this, Lin Zhixin felt a little relieved and smiled understandingly:
“Brother Jinghuai, don’t be too harsh on your sister. After all, everyone’s ability to learn is different. My sister has never been very good at studying since she was in school, so you should be more tolerant of her.”
"Isn't Ah Huai being tolerant of her enough?"
Shen Zhantang meant to speak up for his good brother, but his loose tongue inadvertently stabbed Xie Jinghuai in the back again, "She's so stupid, incompetent, and restless. She's been causing a huge commotion lately, constantly bringing trouble and annoyance to A-Huai."
If I were Ah Huai, I'd divorce her eight hundred times over. Ah Huai endured it for five years; he's practically a male bodhisattva reincarnated!
Xie Jinghuai shot a sharp glare at Shen Zhantang.
I really wanted to shove his head down into the toilet!
Xie Jinghuai turned his back, walked to the side, took out his phone, and called Han Xu:
"Why did Jiang Shiyuan suddenly appear at the venue?"
"Mr. Xie, I just checked, and Madam did indeed come in with an invitation," Han Xu replied immediately.
The man's gaze was deep. "Where did she get the invitation?"
"The organizers of Eternal Technology only sent an invitation to Chairman Jiang. But Chairman Jiang didn't show up today, so I guess the young mistress must have come with Chairman Jiang's invitation."
"Sending an ignorant woman to this occasion? Jiang Yongxiao must be out of his mind!" Xie Jinghuai said sternly.
Half of his opinion was that Jiang Shiyuan was only there to embarrass himself at such a high-level event.
The other half, he himself couldn't explain that dark and subtle feeling.
Jiang Shiyuan made her first public appearance and stunned the audience without doing anything.
The stares from the men around him made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
Just like a treasure that you've kept and played with for many years, once it's shown to others, it becomes something that countless players want to possess.
At this moment, he was still unaware—
This feeling is called a sense of crisis.
Han Xu asked cautiously, "President Xie, should I send someone... to keep an eye on the young mistress?"
"No need for now, wait for my message."
Jiang Shiyuan looked around, but found herself all alone.
As the president of Eternal Technology, she knew she should get to know these elite bigwigs, but firstly, she had no one to introduce her, and secondly, Eternal Technology was going through a turbulent period, with the company's image being ruined by Jiang Yongxiao.
Even if she tries to get close to him now, she'll most likely be met with a cold shoulder.
"President Jiang, high-energy warning!" Yin Meng suddenly called out to her in a low voice.
Jiang Shiyuan was taken aback. "What's wrong?"
"Look at the 11 o'clock position on the left, that sleazy man!"
"Slut..."
Jiang Shiyuan looked in the direction of 11 o'clock and immediately saw Fu Chong standing there lazily with his hands in his pockets, a smile on his face, staring at her with extremely straightforward eyes.
Tall and slender with an inverted triangle body shape, arched eyebrows that reach into the temples, and narrow eyes, his appearance already possessed a chilling and sinister quality, yet he also sported a slicked-back hairstyle.
Looking at him, he resembles the wicked and rampant villain from a chaebol family in a Korean drama.
She is indeed flirtatious, just like Shen Zhantang, both of them are openly flirtatious.
However, this man seemed even more brazen.
"Who is he? Why is he looking at me?" Jiang Shiyuan asked, puzzled.
"Because you're such a beauty, Ms. Jiang! You're like a celestial being descended to earth, who wouldn't take a second look?!"
Jiang Shiyuan was both amused and exasperated. "That's an exaggeration. I just have an ordinary appearance."
"Mr. Jiang, you're too much like Versailles."
Yin Meng looked utterly dejected, her eyes filled with infatuation as she gazed at Jiang Shiyuan. "If you're just average-looking, then Lin Zhixin, who looks like that, only deserves to sleep in a pigsty!"
Jiang Shiyuan was too lazy to continue arguing with her and asked again:
Who exactly is he?
"Fu Lixian's eldest son, Fu Chong, the current president of the Fu Group!"
Yin Meng is a gossip enthusiast, especially knowledgeable about the origins and secrets of these wealthy families in Beijing. "Old Master Fu was originally involved in the underworld, fighting his way up from a high-ranking member to become the gang leader."
Fu Lixian's father, Fu Chong's grandfather, was involved in both the legitimate and criminal worlds in his early years. He had countless lives on his hands and was a ruthless character. It wasn't until he was fifty that he gradually cleaned up the Fu family business and put it on the right track. By the time Fu Lixian took over, the Fu family had become a legitimate and large conglomerate.
"Clear it? Can it really be cleared?" Jiang Shiyuan expressed his doubts.
"That's definitely not possible."
Yin Meng continued to chirp softly, getting all excited when it came to gossip, "On the surface, they've cleared their name, but I heard that the Fu family's shady dealings have all been transferred overseas. They have two faces, one domestic and one international."
This Mr. Fu is definitely involved in organized crime; almost nothing about him is positive. But Chairman Fu thinks highly of him, and he's practically the sole manager of the family business now. Just look at his face—he doesn't look like someone to mess with!
Jiang Shiyuan looked at the young girl with newfound respect, "How do you know so much? Does your Fu family have connections?"
“I have connections with everyone, including the Xie family!” Yin Meng said with a grin, taking out her phone and waving it in front of her.
Jiang Shiyuan scoffed lightly and teased, "Then I hope Miss Yin will give me more guidance on the Xie family's affairs in the future."
Yin Meng sighed: Oh no, the Jiang family has started divination!
She forgot that the person in front of her was Xie Jinghuai's wife, the young mistress of the Xie family!
On the other side, Lin Zhixin angrily walked to a corner and dialed her mother's number:
"Mom! That little bitch Jiang Shiyuan is at the Aofeng Technology Conference!"
Liu Nianrou was taken aback. "What?! Why did she suddenly appear?"
Lin Zhixin stomped her foot angrily, "How was I supposed to know? She dressed up especially for today and stole my thunder the moment she arrived! Even Brother Jinghuai seems to be paying extra attention to her!"
"That little bitch, she didn't rush up and provoke you in public, did she?" Liu Nianrou asked with concern.
After all, no matter how much Xie Jinghuai doted on Xinxin, he and Jiang Shiyuan were still not divorced. As long as they weren't divorced, her daughter's relationship with President Xie remained ambiguous.
It's one thing for rumors to circulate casually, but what if Jiang Shiyuan makes a scene in a formal setting and embarrasses Xinxin? How will Xinxin cope? Who knows how nasty the gossip will be!
Lin Zhixin asked anxiously, "Mom, can't you think of a way to kick Jiang Shiyuan out of the venue?"
"Kid, if that little bitch got in with an invitation, then there's nothing we can do about it!"
Liu Nianrou paused for a moment, then suddenly spoke in a somber tone, "We can't, but there is someone who can."
Who is it?
"Thank you, Mr. Xie!"
Liu Nianrou couldn't help but sneer, "From his perspective, he definitely doesn't want to see Jiang Shiyuan either. You asked him to help, so why worry about not having a way to kick that little bitch out?"
