Chapter 75: Jealousy in the Past Life Makes People Crazy
The final payment of the contract has arrived, which is five million more than what was agreed upon before.
Qi Yan didn't know what Chen Xiliu meant. After thinking for a while, he transferred all the money from the contract into the account that Gu Yanxing left for Jiang Yuqing, and he didn't intend to touch the remaining five million.
Jiang Yuqing was not joking when he said he would make him his secretary. Qi Yan was busy studying while treating his hand injury. The Jiang family is too complicated. Jiang Yuqing used to have no interest in power and focused on his own career. But now if he wants to have more say, he must make actual achievements.
Qi Yan actually came at the right time. After all, it is easy to find capable people, but it is very difficult to find capable people who can be 100% trusted.
"I suddenly feel that you are very suitable to be a secretary." Jiang Yuqing sighed after observing for a while, "Although we still have some language barriers, your working ability is really strong..."
Perhaps because he had spent too much time in bars, where all kinds of people gathered, Jiang Yuqing thought Qi Yan's secretarial work was quite easy. Originally they were worried that he would have difficulty communicating due to language barriers, so they specifically asked Qi Yan to take over some domestic and foreign affairs. Jiang Yuqing even arranged for an assistant to guide him.
Looking back now, Jiang Yuqing discovered that Qi Yan had not changed much since he was a child, and his ability to accept and adapt was still quite good.
"Isn't it you who is so capable? You even dare to use me." Qi Yan felt that Jiang Yuqing was more amazing. He asked him to be a secretary and he really did.
Whether it was daily affairs or work arrangements, everything was thrown to him. Even some important matters at home and abroad were allowed to be handled by him. He was very courageous.
Don't forget, he is a guy who has never even attended college.
If it were in China, Qi Yan wouldn't even be able to get an interview. His resume, which was intended as a stepping stone, would be thrown into the trash as soon as he submitted it.
"What's the big deal? Powerful people never lack opportunities. You are very capable at work. As long as you get the hang of it, you don't have to worry at all." Jiang Yuqing was very calm and was flipping through a fashion magazine. "I won't stay abroad for too long. What I really want to take down is the Jiang family's influence in China. Some people should pay the price they deserve and never think of getting up again in this life."
We cannot act rashly. After all, the Shen family is behind the Yi family. If we cannot make the Yi family and Yi Hongli pay the price at once, there will be a lot of trouble in the future.
Qi Yan lowered his eyes, he knew what Jiang Yuqing meant, they all thought so, to cut the grass at its roots and not give it a second chance.
"Then...what about the AriaNoir brand?" Qi Yan asked, "That's the result of your hard work over the years. If you really become the person in charge of the Jiang family in China, what will you do with the brand you founded?"
If you carry too much, you won’t have enough time to focus on the designs you like. Jiang Yuqing's dream since childhood was to become a great designer and create her own brand.
"That's still a long way to go. Let's do the things in front of us first. And to some extent, my dream has come true." Jiang Yuqing didn't think it was a big deal, but just remembered one thing, "But you did remind me!"
He looked Qi Yan up and down, and said with a smile: "Hey, Qi Yan, you are really good-looking. Why didn't you think of joining the entertainment industry before? Isn't it easy to make money in this circle in China?"
"There's no chance of that. Song Yili sends people to keep an eye on me every day, fearing that I will suppress her son. If I really go in, there will probably be a lot of traps waiting for me to fall into." Qi Yan said casually. It was obviously a very bad thing, but from his tone, you couldn't tell that he cared at all.
Jiang Yuqing's eyes flashed with disgust, and his expression was unhappy: "...Hehe, then it's really fortunate that she died early."
They didn't talk about how Song Yili died, avoiding talking about a certain person.
Jiang Yuqing continued to smile and said, "I didn't have that opportunity before, so now just consider it as doing me a favor. Don't worry, it's just a model, and the hourly wage is quite high, don't miss this opportunity."
Qi Yan was originally wondering why he suddenly mentioned this aspect, but after hearing the last sentence, he probably knew the answer.
Jiang Yuqing was probably afraid that he would be penniless and have too much psychological burden, so she was trying to create opportunities for him to make money.
After all, costs abroad are high, and the cost of a medical team to treat Qi Yan's hand injury is an astronomical sum, which is totally beyond Qi Yan's ability to afford now.
Even though it was Jiang Yuqing who arranged it for him, Qi Yan couldn't feel comfortable letting others spend money to treat his hand injury.
That's why he has been studying day and night during this period of time and improving his abilities. This is to find ways to help Jiang Yuqing reduce his burden. This is not only a concern for his friend and a guilt for the deceased, but also a desire to repay the favor.
Jiang Yuqing is very clear about all of this, and he will not deliberately expose it. The relationship between friends needs to be maintained. Therefore, opportunities will be created to allow him to return the favor, so that the two of them can get along with each other peacefully.
"The Jiang family is really troublesome. They always like to talk about useless rules. I guess there will be a lot of things that need your help in the future." Jiang Yuqing sighed and had a headache. "I'm really grateful that you came back with me this time. Otherwise, there are some things that I really can't find the right person to help with!"
Jiang Yuqing complained, "My grandfather is really weird. He actually wants a pregnant man to go on a blind date. This is not a marriage, but an enemy, right?"
Qi Yan: “…”
Jiang Yuqing smiled and told a hellish joke: "Gu Yanxing should be grateful for your existence, otherwise he would have to be cuckolded even after his death. After all, if he changes to another alpha, he will never be at peace in his death."
Qi Yan: “…”
Suddenly I felt a chill on my back and a creepy feeling.
…
After learning something from Shen Xiangting, You Yi couldn't help but take out his cell phone and hid on the balcony to get some fresh air and peek while still at the banquet.
It was a set of extremely gorgeous and luxurious photos, with great visual impact.
Red is the main color, matched with black and gold to create a sense of extravagant enjoyment. The combination of light and shadow hides tempting desires. The beautiful female omega sits on the alpha's legs, and the slender fingers in white gloves gently hold her waist, full of possessiveness.
The handsome alpha's peach blossom eyes are almost captivating, expressing a strong and affectionate love, and the enchanting red rose is placed on his lips, covering up his words of love. The burgundy shirt he was wearing half-covered, exposing a large area of cool white sexy skin with clear and smooth lines.
The black tie is tied askew on the slender neck instead of the shirt, the extreme contrast between black and white, one end falls into the shirt, full of bewitching charm, making people want to find out more...
"What are you looking at?"
A familiar voice suddenly sounded, startling You Yi, and he subconsciously hid his phone: "I didn't see anything!"
Meeting Shen Xiliu's cold gaze, and thinking of the relationship between the alpha in the photo and Shen Xiliu, he changed the subject with a guilty conscience: "Cousin, why did you come out?"
Shen Xiliu didn’t say anything, with a mocking smile on the corner of his lips: “Your skill in changing the subject is too poor, my eyesight is good.”
It was dark outside the balcony, and the photo was dazzling enough that Shen Xiliu, who had good eyesight, caught it at a glance, so he couldn't help but make a sound.
“Ah? So you saw it?” You Yi was startled and muttered, “If you saw it, why did you ask me what I was looking at and use such a scary look…”
His words became weaker and weaker, and he didn't dare to look Shen Xiliu in the eye.
But the Shen family is rebellious by nature. He scratched his hair, took out his phone, played the photos, and said quickly: "Well, I just took a look at this group of photos, the latest ones released by AN, they look pretty good, right?"
As his eyes fell on the photos, Shen Xiliu's expression became even more stern. He frowned uncomfortably and tried to divert his gaze, but he couldn't. So a nameless anger grew more and more intense, almost making him want to knock over Youyi's phone.
"Take it away!" He finally suppressed the impulse and said in a cold voice.
You Yi curled his lips, put away his phone, and looked at his ugly face: "You obviously care about it to death, why do you have to maintain this cold and noble appearance, who are you pretending for..."
After saying this, he ran into the banquet. After hesitating for a moment, he found his second cousin, walked up to him, pointed his finger at the balcony, and whispered a few words to him.
The second cousin made an OK gesture to Youyi, handed the child who was hugging his thigh to him, and walked to the balcony with two glasses of wine.
"Chat?"
Shen Xiliu, who was still blowing the cold wind, heard his voice, took a look, and silently took the wine handed over by his second cousin, but did not drink it.
"You seem to be in a bad mood recently." The second cousin didn't care and put his hand on the guardrail. "Drink some wine, you will feel much better."
Shen Xiliu lowered his eyes and stared at the glass of wine. The more he looked at it, the angrier he became: "I don't want to drink it."
Last time, I was drunk, so I didn’t even know what was done to me.
Holding his breath in his heart, Shen Xiliu hated himself for being controlled by others. He should have been free from the control of the false label by now, but he still couldn't help but care.
I dare not think about it, I dare not ponder, and I subconsciously avoid everything related to him, as if only in this way can I be sure that I am not wrong, but can I really ignore everything?
Just seeing that set of photos made him... so angry!
It has reached the point where it can no longer be ignored.
I couldn't ignore it anymore. The emotions that had been pent up for so long were about to explode, the kind that even medication couldn't suppress. The pheromone inhibition collar around my neck was tightening, and it seemed like even breathing had become difficult.
Chen Xiliu clenched the wine glass tightly, his fingers trembling a little, and after a long time he slowly spoke: "...Why are you with him? I remember that you used to hate...alpha the most."
Don't ask.
Shouldn't ask.
I couldn't realize it, but I couldn't suppress the urge and asked.
And even if you want to say you hate someone, you can't avoid mentioning his name.
Qi Yan is really good at naming!
"Of course I like him." The second cousin knew what Chen Xiliu was asking without him having to explain clearly.
The wine glass was gently put down, and he leaned his hands on the guardrail, looking into the distance while enjoying the breeze, and said as a matter of course: "I may hate Alpha, but he is my favorite person in the world!"
“It’s normal to make exceptions and show preference for the people you like.”
Shen Xiliu lowered his eyes: "How did you notice it?"
"This is a difficult question to answer. When I was young, I was quite arrogant and possessive," said the second cousin. "I was so angry when I saw him walking with someone else, but he was still chatting happily over there and didn't notice my emotions at all. How could this be tolerated?"
He has a bit of a childish temper. At first, it was just possessiveness that was at work. I wanted to attract the other person's attention, to want the other person to only look at me, to belong to me, and to be with me forever...
"People are very complicated, and different people express their love in different ways. Haha, don't follow my example, I'm very extreme." The second cousin laughed and said a few words, "If you have someone you like, just learn the way normal people express their love..."
Shen Xiliu suddenly said: "But he doesn't like me."
The second cousin stopped talking abruptly.
Shen Xiliu's breathing became rapid, his fingers tightly grasped the guardrail, his teeth clenched, almost with hatred, even his eyes were red, and he said word by word: "He has someone he likes!"
Qi Yan didn't like him.
Chen Xiliu knew this better than anyone else. Qi Yan had someone he loved deeply in his heart, and he had loved her for many years. He even wrote a whole box of love letters to the other person, hundreds of letters.
Under such circumstances, this person took advantage of his drunkenness and asked him what his pheromones were, and said sweet words to him over and over again while making love...
Chen Xiliu was really disgusting, but he just couldn't help but care about it. No matter how much he ignored it, he couldn't fool himself. You obviously shouldn't take Qi Yan, a despicable and playboy alpha who plays with omegas, seriously!
But he just couldn't ignore it, and it had come to this point. He knew that he really cared about it to death!
I just don't want to face this fact, so I try my best to ignore it until I can no longer deceive myself.
The night wind blew his hair apart. My second cousin leaned lazily against the guardrail, his mouth slightly raised with a dangerous smile, and he slowly said, "So what?"
"Anyway, as long as I find a way, I can get it. Once I get it, it will belong to me. One day, my heart and eyes will belong to me alone..."
"Xi Liu, pheromones are very interesting, but not that bad. Omega cannot resist the induction of alpha pheromones, and alpha cannot resist the induction of omeg pheromones. Your pheromones are highly compatible, right?" he asked meaningfully.
Shen Xiliu was silent for a moment, then laughed sarcastically: "It is indeed very high, 100%."
Wasn't it because of the 100% pheromone match that he failed to realize and didn't want to face reality countless times?
Shen Xiliu hates pheromones, but admitting that being induced by pheromones is not a difficult thing. However, admitting that he likes the other person is a difficult thing.
Because this will overturn everything he has insisted on in the past, whether it is his own lifestyle, thoughts, cognition, concepts, persistence, etc., and he will have to face some mistakes...
But this is not a simple matter. Normal people will choose to ignore it, and Chen Xiliu is no exception.
“I want to continue to persevere…”
I don't want to face it, but it's impossible.
Because even if he continued to persevere, his reason would be swallowed up by his emotions. After all, humans are emotional animals, and Shen Xiliu was almost going crazy with jealousy.
Who asked him to take these photos? ! ! !
Shen Xiliu hated it to death!
Unable to avoid it any longer, all the negative emotions that had been accumulating for a long time burst out at this moment, almost driving him crazy. Even his expression was distorted, and he couldn't maintain his damn demeanor and arrogance.
Shen Xiliu had to face his own overly extreme emotions, which almost carried him to his head. He knew clearly how much he hated himself. He should not have done those stupid things in the first place, and he should not have let Qi Yan go out of anger!
