Chapter 38 The Ex-Husband Declares War on Third Master
Shao Muyan went to the Security Bureau and took Xiang Jingheng away.
At that moment, Xiang Jingheng felt very embarrassed. He had never experienced getting into trouble, going to the police station, and then being taken away by someone else.
...He usually leads others on the essentials.
Although Shao Muyan is a few years older than him and they are old acquaintances, their current relationship with Yu Yan means they can never become friends.
It's good enough if we don't become enemies.
As I walked out of the security bureau, there were two cars parked on the roadside, both black Bentleys of the same model and series.
It is often said that a car is a man's second wife. If this is true, then Xiang Jingheng and Shao Muyan are remarkably similar in their tastes.
As they stepped down the stairs, both pairs of black leather shoes paused for a moment.
"I'm sorry to trouble you to make this trip, Third Master." Xiang Jingheng turned slightly and nodded to Shao Muyan in thanks.
Shao Muyan accepted the bow, gave a faint "hmm," and turned to leave.
"Third Master."
Xiang Jingheng called out to him.
Two handsome men of similar height and build stood face to face, their positions seemingly evenly matched.
Men don't like beating around the bush, especially elites like them who have been in positions of power for a long time and always value efficiency.
"Although Yu Yan and I are divorced, we haven't completely turned the page on this chapter."
Xiang Jingheng was very direct: "If Third Master wants to get involved with us, he may have to be prepared for a protracted battle."
Shao Muyan listened to these words expressionlessly, as if he had heard a funny joke, but he had no intention of laughing at all.
"Are you a primary school student?" Shao Muyan asked casually.
Xiang Jingheng narrowed his eyes slightly.
Shao Muyan's tone remained completely calm, as if he were the king of the grasslands who didn't take the little brat opposite him seriously at all. "College students these days don't bother with declaring war anymore. President Xiang, don't be so naive."
"Third Master is not young anymore."
Xiang Jingheng took a step forward, pressing closer and closer, calling him naive and mocking his age.
"If I remember correctly, according to seniority, you are Yu Yan's senior uncle. Yu Yan and I are the same age, and we both grew up listening to your legendary stories."
Xiang Jingheng's eyes flickered slightly. "The Yu family has strict rules, and the seniority system is even more rigorous. If everyone did it like you, the seniority system would have been in chaos long ago. Does Academician Yu know about your feelings for Yu Yan?"
His words were full of provocation, but Shao Muyan remained calm and unmoved.
Finally, seeing the confusion in Xiang Jingheng's eyes, Shao Muyan raised his lips and smiled, "Our Yu family's affairs are none of your concern, Mr. Xiang."
Watching the man calmly walk away, Xiang Jingheng felt a surge of intense irritation and unease.
He knew it was a sense of oppression that he, as a fellow male, felt.
It was as if, in the other party's eyes, he was completely unqualified to be a rival.
His sense of crisis stemmed not only from Shao Muyan's family background, but also from his own status within the Yu family.
Shao Muyan is Academician Yu's last disciple, and the two families are old friends. Shao Muyan's apprenticeship ceremony was even on the news and attracted global attention. He was also fortunate enough to watch the whole process.
At that time, he couldn't help but feel envious.
Academician Yu has countless students, and the scientific research community can be said to be full of his students. Even those who have been fortunate enough to attend one of his open classes will consider themselves "Academician Yu's students," but very few disciples have actually been accepted into the Yu family.
Every single one of them is a leading figure in the current scientific research community.
Shao Muyan was taught by Academician Yu personally, and he did not take any detours. His scientific research achievements are all top-notch.
The name "Shao Muyan" and the "Yu family" have long been an inseparable entity, even more renowned than his title as the third young master of the Shao family.
Therefore, Shao Muyan's mention of "family matters" was intended to tell Xiang Jingheng:
Regardless of his seniority or relationship with Yu Yan, he would always be closer to Yu Yan than to him, just as Yu Yan said to him at the entrance of the military hospital that day.
Uncle Yan is my family.
—We are one of our own.
As Yu Yan's ex-husband, he no longer has the legal right to own anything related to Yu Yan after the divorce.
This includes his status as the son-in-law of the Yu family.
So today he was taken away by the security bureau and questioned: "What is your purpose in approaching Ms. Yu Yan? Since you have been divorced for three years, why are you still bothering her?"
His search for Yu Yan unexpectedly turned into harassment?
Xiang Jingheng slammed his fist on the steering wheel twice in a fit of impotent rage!
He leaned back in his chair, irritably loosening his tie, feeling utterly defeated.
The phone vibrated. Xiang Jingheng glanced at the caller ID, but didn't answer. The phone just kept ringing.
He frowned as he answered, his voice tinged with impatience, "What is it?"
Gan Xiaoxing didn't catch his tone and excitedly said on the other end of the phone, "Jingheng, there's been progress on the chip!"
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Xiang Jingheng drove to Xiaoxing's research lab, holding back his anger, wanting to show Yu Yan that he, Xiang Jingheng, was not indispensable to her.
He'll make her look at him in a completely new light!
