After Mo Qingshu and Zhao Linsheng finished their conversation, they walked back together. When they reached the stone table where they had been chatting, they both paused in surprise.
The two men met the tall figure's gaze, and Zhao Linsheng glanced at Jiang Siyan with unease.
Although the rumors about him and Su Er were just that, and Jiang Siyan also said that he and Su Er had broken up, Zhao Linsheng still felt a dull ache in his shoulder whenever he thought about the last time.
He spoke with a noticeably weak voice, "Brother Siyan, what are you doing here?"
Jiang Siyan lit the cigarette between his fingers and asked him, "Can't I be here?"
Zhao Linsheng quickly waved his hand, "No... Brother Siyan, when did you get here?"
Jiang Siyan said in a nonchalant tone, "I haven't been here long, and I just had a cigarette."
Zhao Linsheng breathed a sigh of relief for no reason, his mind focused on running away as quickly as possible. Mo Qingshu glanced at his hurried appearance from the side, sighed silently in her heart, smiled calmly, and said, "Brother Siyan, then we'll be going now."
Jiang Siyan nodded.
Zhao Linsheng felt as if he had been granted a pardon upon hearing this, and he took a step to leave. But as soon as he took a step, he heard a faint voice behind him, "Linsheng."
Zhao Linsheng's heart sank, and he turned around with an awkward smile, "Brother Siyan, is there something else you need me for?"
Jiang Siyan casually tapped him with his cigarette, his smile relaxed but his eyes sharp, and asked, "You've been distant with me lately, haven't you? What have you done wrong?"
“No,” Zhao Linsheng replied immediately.
He hadn't done anything wrong, but he answered too quickly, making him seem like a guilty thief.
Mo Qingshu, watching from the side, wanted to sigh and rub his forehead. How could a fox that had only been cultivating for a short time possibly fool a thousand-year-old fox?
Fortunately, Jiang Siyan didn't ask any further questions. He waved his hand, and Zhao Linsheng disappeared in a flash.
Mo Qingshu hesitated, wondering whether he should ask if Su Er knew about what had happened to him recently.
But then she thought, they had already broken up, and Jiang Siyan didn't seem like the kind of person who would be associated with the word "meddlesome," so she decided not to cause trouble for Su Er.
"Is there anything else you want to say to me?" Jiang Siyan asked.
"No." Mo Qingshu smiled. "Then, Brother Siyan, I'll head over first too."
Jiang Siyan nodded in response.
He had actually arrived earlier than them, but behind the wall, the sound of the wind blowing through the fallen leaves masked his breathing.
Nicotine, which usually soothes the mood, instead ignited a suppressed heat deep within my heart today, accompanied by the flickering of a scarlet flame, causing my restless emotions to surge erratically within my chest.
Girlfriend, who is Zhao Linsheng with, and what grievances has she suffered?
These days, one thorny problem after another has come up, but none of them seem as puzzling as these few words in front of me.
The little girl's thoughts are hard to understand, and the questions related to her seem to be the same.
Thinking of this, Jiang Siyan gave a cold laugh and mocked himself, saying, "What a fool I was."
The lamplight reflecting on the grass was warm, but once the light was extinguished, only eyes darker than the night remained.
After finishing his cigarette, Jiang Siyan returned to the crowd and sat for a while. After a few drinks, he remained listless.
"You're leaving already?" Meng Zhaoqi asked as he watched him leave.
Jiang Siyan grabbed his coat and put it on. "Yeah, I have a meeting to attend."
The turmoil in Country M may seem to have subsided, but in reality, there are still many things for him to decide.
Before leaving, I passed by Zhao Linsheng's house and could still faintly hear teasing voices coming from inside. "Linsheng, when are you going to bring the big star over for us to see? She's so hot, isn't she? I heard she was with Brother Siyan before."
Jiang Siyan's steps involuntarily slowed down.
"What? We didn't catch up?" It was Zhao Linsheng's voice.
"Surely not? You didn't even like me?"
"A person who has followed Brother Siyan will always have a higher perspective."
"Didn't you help someone out at the last drinking party? I heard that recently a lot of rivals have been trying to bring her down. With your status, why don't you lend a hand? Make your presence felt in front of her more often. Even a small act of kindness will earn her gratitude sooner or later, and she might even repay you with her body."
The people in the room were offering Zhao Linsheng advice and suggestions, but Jiang Siyan didn't listen anymore and got into the car with a cold expression.
This time, unusually, Jiang Siyan didn't take the document when He Wen handed it to him. He tilted his head back, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath. "I'll look at it later."
The car began to move smoothly, and the window was rolled down a crack. The cool evening breeze had always been able to clear a drowsy mind.
Unfortunately, the chilly autumn wind tonight failed to dispel the restlessness, and my head was even throbbing slightly.
Silence returned to the car. Jiang Siyan closed his eyes and pondered for a few seconds. He opened his palms and rubbed his temples several times, but it did not relieve his pain.
He opened his eyes and whispered, "Go and find out what's wrong with Su Er lately."
This is really asking for trouble.
He Wen hadn't heard that name in a long time, and after a few seconds of stunned silence, he came to his senses and replied.
A faint light illuminated the back seat. Jiang Siyan opened an entertainment app he hadn't used in a long time. He tapped the screen with his fingertips, and as soon as he typed Su Er's name into the search box, a bunch of related entries popped up.
#Su Er's Character#
#Su Er Acts Like a Big Shot#
#SuEr's CP Marketing#
#Su Er is drunk#
...
What is all this nonsense?
Jiang Siyan didn't select anything, but directly searched for her name and clicked on it. The more he scrolled down, the more his brows furrowed.
What's the point of her company? They just issue a few meaningless statements. What effect can they have? How did Lin Shuqin manage her?
And those dinner parties... that brat is one too.
When the car arrived at the company, a summary of Su Er's recent life and work was handed to Jiang Siyan.
He flipped through a few pages quickly; the meeting was about to begin.
"Have Chen Chen's legal team contact their company. Call the police if necessary, arrest people if necessary. You go and remind their boss not to let her attend those shady bureaus." Jiang Siyan gave the instructions quickly.
After saying this, Jiang Siyan paused.
He Wen was about to reply with "I understand" when Jiang Siyan suddenly spoke up again, asking, "How did she and Zhao Linsheng get together?"
He Wen flipped through the documents and said, "When Miss Su attended a drinking party, she was forced to drink alcohol. Mr. Zhao stepped in to help her. Later, he probably treated her to dinner as a thank you, and that's when the paparazzi took pictures of her."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Siyan waved his hand, indicating that he did not want to hear any more. "Alright, that's enough."
He Wen nodded, and after thinking it over, he still asked, "Then, sir, what about Miss Su's work afterwards..."
Jiang Siyan glanced at him with a languid look, "No need to report to me."
They broke up, and her affairs were none of his business.
