Chapter 87: Xie Ran and Jiang Miaomiao join forces. ...
Jiang Miaomiao said gloatingly, "What did this madman do to make Chairman Xie so afraid?"
Xie Ran scoffed, "What am I afraid of? He needs to rely on my Xie Group to succeed. Whatever he wants to do, it will be against you. If it weren't for Shan Zuoxi pleading for him, I wouldn't have bothered with you today."
She paused, somewhat incredulous: Shan Zuoxi had actually pleaded for him?
"You could talk less; you're really annoying," Xie Ran said, her tone genuinely displeased.
Jiang Miaomiao raised an eyebrow: "Then why did you come here to listen to me talk? Isn't that just being a masochist?"
Xie Ran frowned, then looked away, not wanting to meet her gaze or see her cold smile.
...Jiang Miaomiao is not Jiang Mian, nor Song Xiyan, and she cannot be silenced by simply saying "get lost".
...She is like a spring; whatever pressure is applied from the outside, she returns it double.
Xie Ran almost angrily drank the last half glass of water in his hand before saying, "If the madman succeeds, the whole of Shenzhen will go crazy. The strong are without virtue, which is quite terrifying."
Jiang Miaomiao sighed, "When you threatened Jiang Mian with the child and the promise of leaving with nothing to force her to divorce you, you weren't exactly virtuous."
Xie Ran retorted, not to be outdone, "I heard you've already had a prenuptial agreement drafted. Compared to me, aren't you also wary of him?"
Yan Yousui's expression changed slightly when she was called out.
Jiang Miaomiao's expression also changed instantly.
She glanced cautiously at Yan Yousui, her eyelashes trembling slightly.
Quiet.
Yan Yousui was originally listening to them quietly.
Even in this unexpected situation, he remained calm and listened quietly, so Jiang Miaomiao's worried look surprised him.
But he quickly realized what was happening and took the other person's hand under the table.
The person, with a faint smile and soft, delicate breath, said gently and calmly, "I know you have plans, but it's definitely not what he meant. We can talk about it privately, so don't worry about me now."
...Yan Yousui was worldly-wise but not cynical; he was so pure that he was like a mirror, reflecting the true nature of others.
Jiang Miaomiao was stunned.
But after regaining his senses, he suddenly burst out laughing: "Yeah, what's there to worry about?"
If she were truly worried or hesitant, then she wouldn't be Yan Yousui, or Yan Yousui wouldn't be the person she wanted.
Yan Yousui watched with a smile as she regained her composure and pride.
Jiang Miaomiao had calmed down, and her gaze towards Xie Ran was daggers, each one cutting: "President Xie, with both old and new grudges, please take your leave."
Xie Ran, having failed to sow discord and suffered further humiliation, gritted his teeth and said, "I have important matters to discuss."
Taking advantage of the situation, Jiang Miaomiao said, "There is a difference between humans and animals. I only understand human language."
Xie Ran, unable to contain himself any longer, said, "Jiang Miaomiao, you cut off the cooperation between Xie's Group and Shan's Group, causing Xie's Group to lose hundreds of millions. For this matter alone, you must be patient and listen to what I have to say."
Jiang Miaomiao had no reason to hold back: "Xie Ran, you colluded with the Xia family to harass and sabotage my Longgang Mall, affecting its normal operations and causing losses. Just because of this, no matter how good-looking I am, I have no patience to listen to what you have to say."
Xie Ran reminded him, "You used Song Xiyan to defame my reputation."
Jiang Miaomiao didn't forget either: "You and Xia Renyao used Song Xiyan to slander my Yan Sansui."
...
Several rounds of heated debate ensued.
Unable to win the argument any longer, Xie Ran finally said, "Xia Renyao's entry into Pengcheng is backed by the investment of the Sanzhu Group. Can you guess who the boss of the Sanzhu Group is?"
"Does that sound like a Japanese company name?"
"And do you know about Unit 731?"
Jiang Miaomiao was stunned. What?
Seeing her momentarily stiffen, Xie Ran's breath quickened slightly. "The Sanzhu boss is a descendant of Unit 731. Xia Renyao collaborated with him to forcibly take over Pengcheng, which is China's technology center. Guess what their ultimate goal is?"
This time, Jiang Miaomiao didn't ask any questions. She simply took out her phone, too lazy to even type, and frantically pressed the voice button: "Master Wen, can you help me check if Xia Renyao is cooperating with Sanzhu Group? And who is the boss behind Sanzhu?"
Wen Rongying hesitated on the other end of the phone, "Now?"
Jiang Miaomiao: "Is it inconvenient?"
"Isn't it inconvenient for you right now?" the person on the other end asked instinctively.
But someone nearby interrupted, so Wen Rongying said, "I'll check right away, it will take a little time."
Xie Ran's expression was serious: "Anyone who isn't a beast will fall into my trap."
Jiang Miaomiao clicked her tongue, "It can only be said that the Xia family has absolutely no bottom line."
Since Wen Rongying needs time to investigate, the scene can't just sit idly by...
She then turned to Yan Yousui and asked, "Considering that President Xie hasn't completely turned into a beast yet, shall we invite him to this meal?"
That's hardly the way you'd say it when inviting someone to dinner! Besides, the table was full of leftovers, which they had all finished.
Before Yan Yousui could respond, Xie Ran, however, didn't mind and said, "Then thank you both." She then raised her hand to ask the waiter to add more dishes, willingly becoming a third wheel for the meal.
Xie Ran's thick skin surprised Jiang Miaomiao.
Afterwards, Yan Yousui once again looked like she couldn't hide her feelings, her cheeks puffed out.
She helplessly spread her hands: "Yan San Sui, what's wrong with you now?"
Yan Yousui shook her head and said it was nothing.
Xie Ran then stirred things up again: "I think it's because the topic we just discussed was too heavy, and he's considering whether tonight is still the best time to propose to you."
A marriage proposal? Jiang Miaomiao's eyes widened again in a spectacular flash.
Yan Yousui, whose secret had been exposed, asked in surprise, "How did you know?"
Xie Ran seemed oblivious to Jiang Miaomiao's gloomy expression, leisurely eating the steak that had just been placed on the table. "Investigating her is a bit troublesome, but investigating you, a doctor at a public hospital, is quite simple."
The water glass was placed heavily on the table.
Jiang Miaomiao was a little angry and said sarcastically, "President Xie, if you want to investigate us, you might as well ask me yourself."
Xie Ran scoffed: "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated. I suppose Miss Jiang also investigated me? The term 'double standard' describes you quite well."
Jiang Miaomiao chuckled: "With scandals flying everywhere, you call it an investigation if I just glance at it?"
She turned to look at the pitiful Yan Yousui and coaxed, "How about we continue?"
"?" Yan Yousui, who had been detached from the situation, asked in confusion, "Continue with what?"
She cupped her cheek with one hand and said with a smile, "Just pretend I don't know anything and continue with your secret proposal. Opportunities don't come twice, and you want to be officially recognized soon, don't you?"
Yan Yousui couldn't help but smile, revealing a dimple. But realizing there were other people around, she restrained herself a bit, though she still held Jiang Miaomiao's hand tightly, her gaze towards Jiang Miaomiao tender and affectionate.
Even Xie Ran, who was standing to the side, could see how much Yan Yousui liked Jiang Miaomiao, no matter how unhappy he was.
The two gazed at each other tenderly, oblivious to the lives of those around them.
Xie Ran coughed lightly to remind him.
Jiang Miaomiao ignored them, waved and called for the bill, and pulled them away.
Left behind at the dinner table, Xie Ran was even more annoyed, feeling like he had a fishbone stuck in his throat. He had no choice but to call Shan Zuoxi to come and keep him company. Unexpectedly, Shan Zuoxi also refused him: "Brother Ran, didn't I tell you that Babyface is proposing tonight? I'm going to have a group of people watch the show..."
Xie Ran sighed, realizing how pitiful she truly was only when she was all alone like this.
Dan Zuoxi: Pah!
***
"Miaomiao, how about I drive?" Before she could finish speaking, Yan Yousui was shoved into the passenger seat.
Watching Jiang Miaomiao quickly jump into the driver's seat, and then seeing her speed up to 90 km/h as soon as she got on the highway, he hurriedly said, "Miaomiao, calm down!"
"I'm very calm." Jiang Miaomiao glanced at the road conditions ahead, turned on her left swerve, and sped into the far left lane, reaching 110 km/h.
Yan Yousui exclaimed, "There's no rush for us to propose!"
"I wasn't speeding..." Jiang Miaomiao said innocently.
The speed limits for three lanes in the same direction on a highway are 110 to 120 km/h, 90 to 110 km/h, and 60 to 100 km/h from left to right. I was definitely not speeding.
Yan Yousui sighed, took out her phone, and quickly ordered one day's accidental death insurance for the two of them online.
.
The navigation eventually led to an unfamiliar stadium.
Jiang Miaomiao has never been here.
She helped the trembling Yan Yousui out of the car. "Is there any special meaning behind you proposing to me in this place?"
Yan Yousui, whose handsome face had turned pale from the shock of the high-speed chase, still managed to retort, "We agreed that you would pretend you knew nothing!"
"Oh." I'll give in to him, lest he run away.
Yan Yousui couldn't help but pout.
He pulled Jiang Miaomiao's hand and walked into the sports stadium. "Do you remember the name of the stadium where I formally confessed my feelings to you?"
A moment of silence.
There was an awkward silence, a silence that was hard to break.
Yan Yousui immediately turned her head and said angrily, "Miaomiao, you actually forgot?!"
Jiang Miaomiao glanced at the sign next to her that read "Mingguan Gymnasium" and said cleverly, "How could I forget? Isn't it Mingguan Gymnasium?" Hmm, it's the same chain store, right?
One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black.
Yan Yousui had also learned one of Jiang Miaomiao's tricks, and he rolled his eyes to the sky, "The stadium where we confessed our love is called Xiting!"
"Then..." What's the point of proposing here?
Jiang Miaomiao didn't dare to ask, afraid of stepping on another landmine.
Yan Yousui said helplessly, "I don't want to wait until you return to Hong Kong to propose. How long would that take? So I found a stadium with the most similar style. The atmosphere is very important."
"..." Jiang Miaomiao remained silent.
Fine, her man has the final say.
Yan Yousui led her inside.
Following the brightly lit corridor, you finally push open the door and enter the quiet, dark badminton court.
Yan Yousui led her to continue walking towards the very center of this darkness, but the more they walked, the stiffer her limbs became, and she even moved her hands and feet in unison.
It was as if he had led her into another world.
Jiang Miaomiao's nose twitched slightly.
A strange, hot aroma wafted from all directions—the smell of stinky tofu, Puning fried skewers, Yangliu grilled meat skewers, cheese fried chicken, and so on.
She leaned back technically and raised an eyebrow: What the heck?
Suddenly, colorful lights surrounded them, and Jiang Si, Jiang Ziqi, Jiang Mian, Wen Rongying, Xi Shouge, Lu Han, Ren Ziwei and others approached with ceremonial cannons, which went off in a flurry of firecrackers, their faces beaming with joy.
But Jiang Miaomiao felt that what made everyone happy was the row of tables at the back.
Steaming hot food was simmering on every table.
Yan Yousui is a connoisseur of food; his proposal was complete with a variety of delicious snacks that everyone wanted to try.
...For example, Shan Zuoxi, who was enjoying himself while others were having fun, but kept to himself while eating and drinking.
"He really proposed? This year's wedding gift money is over the limit again!" Ren Ziwei covered his eyes and wanted to lean on someone's shoulder for comfort, but found Xie Liang with teary eyes on the side... No thanks, he was afraid of being misunderstood as gay.
On the other side, Han Cuo, his face tense, was lamenting, "She's overtaken me again!"
"Get lost." Jiang Si dodged to the side, not a single leaf touching her.
Ren Ziwei clutched his broken heart and asked in surprise, "Aren't we single people supposed to be unable to stand seeing couples showing affection?"
Jiang Si glanced at him sideways and said, "I like creating on-screen couples."
Han Cuo suddenly interjected, "I like breaking up couples."
abnormal.
Ren Ziwei was standing between the two perverts when he quickly raised his leg and stepped back.
Stay away from perverts, and you'll save your life.
