Chapter 68 Destroying Song Xiyan will hasten her self-destruction...
Dan Zuoxi died.
He died because he was looked down upon by a 4-year-old kid.
Jiang Miaomiao introduced Yan Yousui to everyone.
Jiang Mian looked at the elegant and handsome young man in front of her, especially his fair and jade-like fingers. She really couldn't imagine that this was a doctor who liked to cook, and a doctor who was good at making terrible dishes.
Jiang Mian frowned as she looked at her, sensing something was amiss.
But curiosity killed the cat, so I generously lent him the kitchen and let him do as he pleased.
Despite being delighted, Yan Yousui politely declined, as the guest was indeed present.
But Jiang Miaomiao kept urging them on, and even Jiang Mian encouraged them.
He had no choice but to step into the kitchen and, using the readily available milk and tea leaves, decide to recreate his glorious milk tea instant noodles.
Jiang Mian paused for a moment, "There really is such a thing as rice porridge with milk tea?"
“My three-year-old Yan has such a wild imagination that his cooking is as bizarre as it gets,” Jiang Miaomiao replied, then suddenly gestured for her to speak privately.
The LED lights shone brightly in the spacious hall.
The pristine white floor tiles reflected a dazzling light.
It was a quiet and comfortable evening. Jiang Miaomiao couldn't bear to mention anything that would spoil the mood, but she had to say, "I just spotted your ex-husband at the nearby supermarket. Is he still bothering you?"
Jiang Mian smiled, her figure enveloped in the dappled light and shadow, revealing her charming and elegant demeanor.
It's clearly your own business, yet you talk about it so casually...
"Xie Ran has always been a chosen one, someone everyone idolizes, so he's always the one toying with and looking down on others. Suddenly, I decisively divorced him, and he's feeling intrigued, confused, and resentful..."
Jiang Mian realized, "I also saw Song Xiyan pestering him, trying to arrange a marriage with him?"
Jiang Mian was slightly taken aback: "Song Xiyan, the one you made an enemy of in Hong Kong?"
She raised an eyebrow; this kind of grudge was already rumored to exist in Shenzhen.
Jiang Mian frowned: "This is a bit troublesome. That fresh food group-buying business she started used shady methods to attract a lot of investment and sponsorship, giving away fresh produce for free for a long time, directly bankrupting other competitors and most small vendors. Right now, she's the most successful in Pengcheng's virtual industry, disrupting both online and offline markets. The government has warned her, but she doesn't care, and even wants to hype it up again to go public in the US. Judging from what you've said, I suspect she's eyeing the Xie Group..."
Although Song Xiyan was unrelated to her, they were both from Hong Kong, so there was a sense of honor that they would suffer the same fate if one of them was harmed!
Jiang Miaomiao's face flushed slightly as she pressed, "What underhanded methods?"
After a long silence, Jiang Mian finally said, "The people who have been investing in her for a long time are indeed generous, but everyone in the industry knows that the prerequisite is that they have to satisfy their sexual desires! Many people say that she sleeps with others to attract investment, but the Song family of Hong Kong has a thunderous reputation. I wonder if she really has to go that far?"
“Everyone’s background and values are different. You might think she’s not that bad, but she might not think so.” Jiang Miaomiao stared at her intently, then suddenly lowered her head and chuckled softly. “Now I’m actually quite interested in Song Xiyan. I’ll definitely try to talk to her in detail sometime and hear about her worldview!”
A strange, sweet aroma suddenly wafted over.
The two paused for a moment.
Jiang Mian immediately looked towards the kitchen.
Jiang Miaomiao replied, "Milk tea rice is just like instant noodles; you can't eat it just by smelling it."
Jiang Mian joked, "You're really not giving Dr. Yan any face. The aroma is actually quite nice. Is it because you have a unique taste and you're spreading rumors about it?"
Hearing this, Jiang Miaomiao decided, "I'll make sure you don't shed a tear until you see the coffin."
Lu Han and Mo Yanfei, who were arguing in the living room, and even Shan Zuoxi and Xie Ziqi, who were squatting on the balcony, all gathered in the kitchen drawn by the aroma.
Taking advantage of his young age, Xie Ziqi, after being encouraged by the other three adults, raised his hand and asked in a soft voice, "Uncle Yan, can we try some?"
"Of course." Yan Yousui looked at the expectant eyes of everyone and was also looking forward to additional comments.
He brought the rice porridge to the table and then lifted the heavy Xie Ziqi onto the seat.
Xie Ziqi eagerly picked up the spoon and said, "Then I'll start eating."
Jiang Miaomiao paused in her tracks: "My godson has a problem with his sense of taste."
Jiang Mian spat in disapproval, "I'd like to question whether you have a problem with your taste!"
The others at the table, encouraged by Xie Ziqi's high praise, couldn't wait to try it themselves. But as soon as they took a bite, their expressions varied, each revealing a fierce look as if they had been caught in a storm.
Jiang Miaomiao suddenly quickened her pace and pulled Yan Yousui behind her.
Lu Han remained elegant, turning around and going into the bathroom with a blank expression, where she vomited for a full minute and a half.
Mo Yanfei almost cried from how bad the food was, and she actually rubbed her eyes.
Only Xie Ziqi was still enjoying his meal.
Jiang Mian quickly picked up a spoon and took a small bite, a very small bite, but her eyes had already changed.
What else could Jiang Miaomiao say?
She shrugged and replied: "Don't you all expect to get what you want?"
Jiang Mian turned back to look at Yan Yousui, who was looking at her expectantly, and said, almost choking up, "Dr. Yan, my son likes it very much."
"Mmm, mmm, mmm." Xie Ziqi really liked it and could easily finish half a plate.
So sweet!
He loves anything sweet, the sweeter the better, he's practically obsessed with Yan Yousui.
Jiang Miaomiao reached out and hugged Yan Yousui, who was full of questions, and pointed at Xie Ziqi: "From now on, he will be your die-hard fan."
That evening, at the dinner table.
Even with Jiang Mian's outstanding performance of eight dishes and one soup, as well as the super nourishing fish maw stewed chicken that had been simmered for two hours, it was still a disaster.
Everyone's souls had been bombarded by that milk tea and instant noodles; they were in a daze and couldn't eat.
...
Song Xiyan intends to go public.
No matter what methods she uses, or what the consequences, if she has a chance to go public, it will be extremely bad for Jiang Miaomiao. Because they are irreconcilable enemies, if Song Xiyan gets even a little arrogant, she will definitely try to crush her.
After returning from dinner at Jiang Mian's house, Jiang Miaomiao seemed lost in thought.
As Yan Yousui drove, while waiting for the green light at the intersection, he asked, "What's bothering you?"
She was quite frank: "I'm thinking that if Song Xiyan and Xie Ran really get married, I might be the first person to be retaliated against."
He asked worriedly, "How will she retaliate against you?"
Jiang Miaomiao laughed: "It's not a personal attack. It's more like they're trying to steal my business and team up with others to squeeze me out of Pengcheng's business district."
"That's alright..." Yan Yousui replied.
She turned her head and found him looking at her intently: "Then I'll be your support and work hard to take care of you."
“Yan Yousui…”
"Um?"
Jiang Miaomiao reached out and touched the top of his soft hair. "You've actually learned to say sweet words? Who taught you?"
Yan Yousui glared at him sullenly and said, "I'm not trying to coax you."
"So you're telling the truth?"
"That's the truth."
"That's good," Jiang Miaomiao replied.
Yan Yousui smiled, her head still in her palm, and rubbed against her again.
Jiang Miaomiao couldn't help but say, "If I get squeezed out and have no business, you'll support me. If my business booms, I'll support you."
Yan Yousui thought for a moment, "Okay, that's fair."
***
Weekdays.
The lawyer from Xie's Group, known as "Pizza Hut," suddenly visits Jiang Miaomiao's Longgang Mall.
Jiang Miaomiao opened the surveillance footage from the eighth-floor reception desk in her office and discovered that it was the "other person" from the Bo family's charity gala—the young man who turned back to tell her "Until we meet again, my name is Jiang Yi" as he left with Xie Ran.
She asked the receptionist to bring people in.
The receptionist, upon receiving the order, greeted him with a charming smile, "Attorney Jiang, please come with me."
The glass doors with electronic locks behind them opened wide, and the receptionist led Jiang Yi into a spacious, internet cafe-style booth facing each other. But before reaching the private office at the very back, they had to pass two rows of rather unusual triangular booths.
The card on the left reads "Xi Shou Ge" and "Mo Cong Yun".
The card on the right reads "Wen Rongying" and "Shi Yi".
The receptionist led him to the office door and then politely left.
Jiang Yi pushed open the door and went in.
Jiang Miaomiao, holding a freshly brewed hot coffee, sat behind the imposing black desk and glanced at him with a detached air.
"Sister Jiang, how have you been?" Jiang Yi greeted him with familiarity, closing the door behind her as she entered. Little did she know, the four bodyguards outside instantly stood up and pressed their ears against the door, eavesdropping!
Jiang Yi took her seat directly and got straight to the point: "Sister Jiang, let me make it clear beforehand that I am not here in the official capacity of the Xie Group, but I can represent the Xie Group to offer some concessions."
That's interesting. Jiang Miaomiao nodded: "I'd like to hear more."
Jiang Yi immediately slumped onto the table, acting like a rogue: "Then remember to explain to Sister Jiang later that our boss has no intention of arranging a marriage with Song Xiyan. Not only does he not intend to, he also quite dislikes her. My boss is observant, so he sent me to ask you if you want to join forces to bring her down?"
The idea that you can fall asleep and immediately find yourself on a pillow is so good it's questionable.
Jiang Miaomiao said warily, "Miss Song is a lady from a prestigious family, young and beautiful. How could your CEO Xie remain unmoved by such a woman? If he truly remained unmoved, why was Jiang Mian suing for divorce in the first place?"
Jiang Yi bluntly exposed her concerns; after all, he was a lawyer, and he knew how to read the room and speak his mind.
“You and Sister Jiang are already tied together. If Song Xiyan makes any progress, she will suppress you, and in doing so, Sister Jiang. And if you are weak, it will be easier for women like Ruan Zhi Qiu to disrupt Sister Jiang’s career. From any perspective, we must bring down Song Xiyan. It’s just that the Xie Group has no reason to take action, but you do, so we will secretly protect you.”
Therefore, Jiang Miaomiao bluntly stated: "Are you abusing public resources for private gain? Am I doing this openly?"
Jiang Yi nodded.
Then she became curious, "Does your boss, Jing Yanyu, have feelings for Jiang Mian?"
Jiang Yi immediately spat and said, "No! Is it not allowed for men and women to have pure friendships or senior-junior relationships?"
Jiang Miaomiao nodded: "Yes, but only if they are all ugly."
Jiang Yi: "..."
Jiang Yi: "Although I also have my doubts, who dares to ask the boss directly? Let's not speculate."
"I'd like to arrange a meeting with your boss sometime. I'm happy to befriend outstanding individuals," Jiang Miaomiao said, then returned to the main topic, "So, Attorney Jiang, how do you plan to help me bring down Song Xiyan?"
Jiang Yi said, "Even without us, didn't you want to drag Song Xiyan down with you? Just go ahead and do it. If you need to ask us to take care of anything, we can handle it."
Jiang Miaomiao gave a faint "Oh".
Jiang Yi added, "My boss said you're allowed to help with any side jobs you want, okay?"
Jiang Miaomiao finally smiled and said, "Deal."
Pengcheng Store has already established itself and gained some recognition. Such a high-end mall naturally wouldn't open branches in the same city, otherwise it would become too numerous and saturated. She was just planning to open a branch in a neighboring province, but being unfamiliar with the area, she might not be able to complete some government procedures. However, with the Xie Group secretly pushing things forward, things would be different!
