Chapter 99 Scamming, cheating, stealing, insidious, cowardly, and wicked!
Actually, Xie Jinghuai was holding back his anger because he could see that Ye Yu had fallen in love with Jiang Shiyuan.
Even if he were to take a step back, he could force himself to accept that Jiang Shiyuan was having an affair in their marriage and that her relationship with Ye Yu was just a fling.
For someone like him who can't tolerate even a grain of sand in his eyes, this is an unprecedented level of tolerance. Jiang Shiyuan should kneel and kowtow to him three times and be eternally grateful.
But compared to that, he couldn't tolerate the fact that there were genuine feelings between them.
Xie Jinghuai clenched his fingers, the veins on his large hands bulging, his anger mixed with a hint of panic.
He knew perfectly well what he was panicking about, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.
"So, you found someone to frame your senior brother...using such despicable and vile means?!"
Jiang Shiyuan smiled brightly, her eyes sparkling with beauty, but her smile was full of sarcasm. "Heh, now I know how you built such a big business. I thought that President Xie, who was praised to the skies by outsiders, could really be that capable."
So it turns out, they were nothing more than swindlers, cheaters, thieves, and treacherous villains!
"Jiang Shiyuan, that's enough!" Xie Jinghuai's phoenix eyes were cold and sharp, his veins cracking with anger.
Jiang Shiyuan said each word slowly and deliberately, "Xie Jinghuai, release my senior brother."
The man's chest heaved, his eyes cold and deep.
Jiang Shiyuan used to speak to him with a submissive and gentle manner, like chopsticks picking up tofu.
Now, however, they are locked in a fierce confrontation, fighting hand to hand, and she will not give up until blood is drawn.
"Can."
Xie Jinghuai coldly uttered a sentence, his tone as if bestowing a favor, "At next week's Platinum Auction, you will attend with me as Mrs. Xie."
Jiang Shiyuan frowned, "Why didn't you ask Lin Zhixin about this?"
Xie Jinghuai's eyes were deep and dark, but his handsome face was indifferent and nonchalant. "Zhixin has been working day and night, racking her brains, for the group's newly developed new energy vehicles. She has been shouldering the heavy responsibility all this time, and it has been too hard for her."
I gave her a few days off so she could get some rest; I didn't want to trouble her with this kind of thing again.
Besides, isn't attending these kinds of occasions with me one of your duties as Mrs. Xie?
Jiang Shiyuan felt a burning sensation rush to his lungs.
She recalled the five years she had wasted, during which Xie Jinghuai had never given her a single day off, nor had he ever shown her any consideration for the hardships she faced in balancing family and career.
On the contrary, he even mocked her, saying that going to work in the R&D department was overestimating her abilities, and that a woman like her who "had no real talent" and "no special skills" should stay at home and take care of the children.
She could easily rely on a man for a living, but she insists on cultivating a "career woman" persona. Isn't that just blindly imitating others and putting in the effort when there's no real hardship?
In his eyes, her hard work was never hard work; Lin Zhixin's was.
"There's one item at this auction, a Song Dynasty Ru ware porcelain cup, that Grandma really likes. If you're truly as filial as you say and want to repay Grandma for her kindness, you should come with me."
Seeing that Jiang Shiyuan remained silent, Xie Jinghuai thought he had the upper hand. He curled his thin lips into a mocking smile, "If you agree, I can release Ye Yu on bail within 48 hours. He won't have any more trouble after the auction."
Otherwise, just the charge of drug possession alone would be enough to ruin your senior's reputation. A renowned lawyer who knowingly broke the law and is now imprisoned—he can forget about ever working in the domestic legal profession again.
The man's eyes were filled with cold disdain. "Ye Yu came from a humble background. He must have used every means and effort to climb to his current position."
You wouldn't want your senior's life to be ruined, would you?
“Okay… I promise you.” Jiang Shiyuan said without hesitation, her voice trembling slightly with resentment.
How could she have loved such a rotten person?
How could she be so blind? She can't forgive herself for being so blind in both eyes and heart! She's ruined the lives of her most cherished family members!
"You can go now, I have to attend an artificial intelligence technology conference later."
Join the Zhizhang Conference!
Xie Jinghuai casually picked up the documents on the table and flipped through them expressionlessly. "If you still consider yourself a mother, go back and see Tongtong in the next few days."
If you don't show up soon, Tongtong will practically be someone else's son.
"Isn't that exactly what he wanted?"
Jiang Shiyuan laughed, her voice slightly hoarse, "The time I was away must have been the most carefree and happiest period of your lives, father and son."
"Jiang Shiyuan, do you know what I dislike most about you?"
Xie Jinghuai's voice was cold and gloomy, "It's because you always belittle yourself and look down on yourself. You don't have the confidence and elegance that Mrs. Xie should have."
How can you expect others to love you if you don't love yourself?
The words had barely left his mouth when—
Jiang Shiyuan picked up the black coffee on the table and, unexpectedly, splashed it all over Xie Jinghuai's body and face, leaving him in a disheveled state!
"Jiang Shiyuan! Do you want to die?!" Xie Jinghuai suddenly stood up, his eyes red with anger, and he almost roared.
"Who cares about your affection? Don't show off like a peacock and be presumptuous."
Jiang Shiyuan slowly placed the coffee cup back at a distance, saying, "It's a real pity it's not boiling water."
After saying that, she turned around and walked away, her beautiful and stubborn back view swaying in the wind.
Xie Jinghuai's back was stiff, and his face turned ashen with anger. He couldn't sit or stand still.
"Mr. Xie!" Han Xu rushed in, looking alarmed, and grabbed a tissue to wipe him.
The man impatiently brushed him aside, saying, "Have someone bring over a new set."
Han Xu immediately made a phone call to make arrangements.
He knew that this was definitely something his wife had done to vent her anger on behalf of Ye Yu.
Although Mr. Xie was in such a sorry state, he felt no sympathy for him whatsoever.
If, back when his wife loved him wholeheartedly, he had given even a fraction of the care he gave to Lin Zhixin to his wife, she wouldn't have so resolutely divorced him.
"Mr. Xie, has your wife misunderstood you?"
Han Xu helped Xie Jinghuai take off his clothes and asked anxiously, "You were drinking with Young Master Shen that day, and after a few rounds of drinks, you only said a few angry words. Who would have thought that Young Master Shen would be so impulsive as to secretly arrange a scheme to frame Attorney Ye, and do it so ruthlessly?"
Ultimately, this matter...
Xie Jinghuai's expression was deep and he shook his head. "Ye Yu's matter did indeed start because of me. I am not the kind of person who shirks responsibility and denies it. Moreover, I have been brothers with A Zhan for many years. He did this for my sake."
“But if we do that, Madam will only become more…” Han Xu sighed helplessly.
Shen Shao and President Xie have been best friends for over twenty years. Shen Shao would risk his life for President Xie. However, he sometimes acts too recklessly, even lawlessly.
Who knows, one day, the city gates might catch fire, and the innocent bystanders might suffer the consequences.
Xie Jinghuai's jawline tightened, and he frowned in frustration, unwilling to listen to Han Xu continue. "On the day of the auction, I will make my relationship with Jiang Shiyuan public. At that time, it will only be more difficult for her to get a divorce."
...
It was early morning, and the night was deep with heavy dew.
Jiang Shiyuan originally wanted to wait for Ye Yu to come out alone, but Su Xier couldn't bear to leave her alone outside so late.
So, after making love with Shen Zhantang that night, she put sleeping pills in his red wine and sneaked out while he was asleep.
Xie Jinghuai kept his word, and after Jiang Shiyuan agreed to accompany him to the auction, Ye Yu was released on bail within 24 hours.
"Senior brother!"
Upon seeing Ye Yu walk out of the police station, Jiang Shiyuan and Su Xier immediately went to greet him.
“A-Yuan!” A light blue stubble appeared on Ye Yuqing’s handsome chin, and his once dull eyes regained their former brilliance.
Upon seeing Su Xier arrive, he paused abruptly, then smiled gently, "Miss Su, you've come too."
"Come, come... let me perform the ritual for my senior brother first!"
Su Xier held a bottle of water in her left hand and a willow twig in her right. She dipped the twig in the water and sprinkled it on Ye Yu. "It is said that people who have been released from prison are full of bad luck. Sprinkling water on them is like washing away the dirt and turning them into pure white lotus flowers!"
Jiang Shiyuan frowned and chuckled, "Xi'er, your senior brother was only detained for a day, not sent to jail. Aren't you exaggerating a bit?"
Ye Yuyi smiled and said, "I know Miss Su means well, but 'white lotus' is really not a good word."
Seeing Jiang Shiyuan standing in the wind dressed in thin clothes, Ye Yu felt a pang of sadness and quickly took off his suit jacket to drape over her shoulders.
"No need, senior brother. You can wear it; I'm not cold," Jiang Shiyuan politely declined.
Ye Yu blushed with embarrassment and withdrew his hand. "Yeah, I haven't changed my clothes for the past two days, and I've been squatting in there for a whole day and night. It's so smelly."
"Yes, indeed."
Su Xier leaned forward, sniffing Ye Yu's shoulder with her small nose, and said bluntly, "It smells like leftover spoiled rice."
Ye Yu gave a wry smile.
Su Xier chuckled and tried to salvage the situation, "Well, it's still better than a PE student wearing smelly socks that haven't been washed for a week."
Jiang Shiyuan and Ye Yu: "…………"
...
Su Xier drove, with Jiang Shiyuan and Ye Yu sitting in the back seat, as the car headed towards the Ye family home.
On the way, Ye Yu told Jiang Shiyuan about his experience:
"The day before yesterday, I was invited by an important client to the presidential suite of that hotel to discuss business. In our line of work, it's unavoidable to have a few drinks with clients. You know my alcohol tolerance; it's always been pretty good. But that night, I don't know what happened, but after a few drinks, I felt dizzy and didn't even know when I passed out."
Jiang Shiyuan frowned.
My senior's drinking capacity is incredible; he can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. Clearly, someone tampered with this.
"When I woke up again, it was in the early hours of the morning. I was lying on the bed, with a woman on each side of me, completely naked..." As she said this, Ye Yuwen's face turned as red as fire.
He could have chosen not to mention these details.
But when facing Jiang Shiyuan, he couldn't help but want to be honest, wishing he could lay his heart bare for her to see.
Su Xier whistled and teased, "One man against two women, senior brother is truly magnificent!"
Jiang Shiyuan took it all quite lightly. Compared to almost facing imprisonment, sleeping with two women was nothing at all.
"Luckily, my senior brother is a man, otherwise he would have suffered a great loss."
Ye Yu was afraid that his daughter, A Yuan, would misunderstand, so he stared intently at her and blurted out:
"Ah Yuan, believe me, nothing really happened between me and them that night!"
