Cui Linye and Jiang Tian's negotiations were very secretive, with heavy bodyguards guarding the outside, and almost no one knew about them.
Many people only thought that Cui Linye rushed to the airport because of a work accident, but they never imagined that there was a romantic scandal involved.
However, there are always some shrewd people.
As soon as Cui Linye arrived, their eyes followed him.
Where he went and who he met can be clearly seen by those with good eyesight.
And so, they unexpectedly caught a glimpse of Jiang Tian.
She was wearing a mask and a long trench coat, so all that could be seen was that she was slim and slender, with no other distinguishing features.
Some busybodies quickly took photos, and others even posted them online to discuss them with others.
They all wanted to know the specific details about this mysterious person.
In the public eye, Cui Linye has always been a highly charismatic aristocrat.
It would be normal if he had a girlfriend.
But someone of his status and position would certainly not hide a romantic relationship from everyone if he really had one.
Given his position, it's common knowledge that he would only date noble ladies; he couldn't possibly date a commoner.
But the woman's silhouette didn't match any of the noble ladies they knew.
Cui Linye had no intention of introducing the woman to anyone else.
This makes the appearance of this woman all the more intriguing.
It was originally just a casual online discussion, but the netizen never expected that the post would be forcibly deleted shortly after it was published.
The related discussions were also wiped out overnight.
The Cui family's control over public opinion is quite formidable; if they were to make a move, very few people could stop them.
With the Cui family's hint, few dared to delve deeper into the mysterious woman beside Young Master Cui at the airport.
However, there were still people who weren't afraid of the Cui family and preferred to watch the drama unfold. They posted photos of Jiang Tian and Cui Linye at the airport on some special online communities. These communities were relatively discreet and beyond the reach of the Cui family.
Don't assume that rich people don't have a romantic streak—that's a prejudice. Human emotions are universal; the poor can have romantic streaks, but the rich have even more.
After all, they didn't have to consider the pressure of survival.
Many people who are obsessed with romance suddenly started shipping them as a couple.
They look so well-matched, they might actually be a couple, and perhaps Young Master Cui is chasing after his wife from afar.
Some people have already started to use their imaginations and come up with various versions of the story.
In fact, this incident only caused a small-scale sensation online.
After all, news based on hearsay rarely generates a significant response.
But some people still recognized Jiang Tian.
That person is Jiang Xianyu.
Jiang Xianyu was unaware of this matter and didn't have time to go online, as he was currently busy vying for the family inheritance.
No one wants to step down from a high position without gaining anything, especially Jiang Xianyu's father.
He was power-hungry, but his qualities in all aspects were far inferior to his son's, and he was outshone by his son from a young age.
Perhaps this is the helplessness of a father with a genius son.
This time, Jiang Xianyu took the initiative and intended to successfully take control of the Jiang family, which dealt a heavy blow to his family.
When exactly did he convince those elders to defect?
How did he manage to complete so many large projects in such a short time, showcasing his excellence?
Jiang Xianyu's father has been struggling to cope with the situation since the initial accident.
It's likely that it won't be long before Jiang Xianyu completely takes over the Jiang family and becomes the new head of the family.
But at this crucial moment, he saw Jiang Tian.
Even though Jiang Tian was wearing a mask, he recognized her at a glance—after all, liking someone can sometimes bring about many changes in a person, and he was very meticulous in distinguishing the facial features of the person he liked.
Jiang Xianyu's brows furrowed instantly.
He knew that Jiang Tian and Su Yuyao were dating.
Why did Cui Linye go to the airport to stop her?
Do they know each other?
Why do people think they're a couple?
Jiang Xianyu's expression grew increasingly grim. He had a bad feeling, and this feeling seemed to be growing stronger.
He immediately said, "Prepare the car, I'm going to the Cui family's house."
Jiang Xianyu's visit was somewhat sudden, but he and Cui Linye had always referred to each other as good brothers, and Jiang Xianyu had visited him a few times before.
Therefore, his visit was naturally met with a warm welcome.
However, to Jiang Xianyu's surprise, he didn't see Cui Linye, let alone Jiang Tian.
"Where did Cui Linye go?" Jiang Xianyu asked.
The butler said very respectfully, "I'm sorry, Young Master Cui, we don't know where the young master went. We are just service staff."
That's as good as saying nothing at all.
Jiang Xianyu didn't answer the question about relationships. He frowned and casually made a phone call, but the call didn't go through.
"Where exactly is Cui Linye? Don't tell me he's playing hide-and-seek."
“I’m sorry, Young Master Jiang, we really don’t know. Your whereabouts are top secret, and it’s not something people of our level can access. Please don’t make things difficult for us service staff.”
The butler was quite adept at playing the victim; clearly, he didn't want to reveal any unnecessary information to Jiang Xianyu.
But Jiang Xianyu was determined to find Cui Linye.
Seeing that he couldn't find any more information here, Jiang Xianyu had no choice but to leave in failure.
Cui Linye's whereabouts are too difficult to find out, but there is always a way to find him.
After returning, Jiang Xianyu used his hacking skills to locate Cui Linye's IP address.
To his surprise, Cui Linye was at the villa.
Cui Linye was indeed in the villa, but in the basement.
“It’s not convenient outside right now. Su Yuyao should be on his way back. After all, he still has deep feelings for you. For safety’s sake, I can only bring you here for now.”
Cui Linye was somewhat puzzled by Jiang Xianyu's visit. Wasn't he busy vying for the position? How could he have time to visit him?
Could it be so that I can get his help?
Fearing that Jiang Xianyu might cause some trouble and affect him, Cui Linye instructed the housekeeper to say that he was not there.
"You can stay in the basement for a while. Don't worry, the basement is luxuriously decorated and has all kinds of convenient facilities. If you still remember, this is our childhood playground."
"Is this a playground for two or for one? Young Master, you should know better than I do," Jiang Tian said coldly.
Cui Linye knew perfectly well who was using this basement for pleasure, yet he still said it like that; it was simply despicable.
Despite sensing Jiang Tian's anger, Cui Linye's attitude remained unchanged.
The initial stages will inevitably be difficult, but he will be happiest when he reaps the rewards.
He doesn't care if he just has to endure it for a while.
He didn't answer, so Jiang Tian looked at him coldly and continued, "I don't understand why you did this. Am I that valuable to you? If I were, you wouldn't have let me go in the first place."
The atmosphere between the two became somewhat tense whenever the past was mentioned.
