Marriage Seduction Addiction

Faced with Duan Siwei's attitude, Yan Shiyu remained calm and said, "Why not continue?"

Hearing his tone, Duan Siwei seemed even angrier. Forgetting her sarcasm, she said directly, "Tell me why? This time, because of Ni Ruiyuan, Jiang Muchen dug such a huge pit for you, but not only did you not fall into it, you even managed to trap him. You've come out on top in both incidents. If it happens a third time, won't your patriarch, who's extremely particular about family traditions and etiquette, be angry? Who will bear that wrath then?"

"Since I've made this decision, I'm not afraid of bearing any anger," Yan Shiyu said.

Duan Siwei probably rolled his eyes at the person on the other end of the line. "Fine, then I guess I was just being presumptuous and worrying unnecessarily. Anyway, no matter how much I worry about you, it's all in vain!"

After saying that, Duan Siwei hung up the phone immediately.

However, the phone rang again just seconds later.

"But I want to ask, even if Jiang Muchen is one thing, why did you go to so much trouble to drag Yue Jiwei into this? Was it not just because having Yue Jiwei, a local strongman, made it easier for Jiang Muchen to fall into the trap?"

“Because I can’t stand either of these two people,” Yan Shiyu said. “Are you satisfied with this answer?”

After listening, Duan Siwei snorted and hung up the phone again.

The project in Nancheng that Duan Siwei mentioned was one of the projects that had been passed from the Yan family to the Jiang family earlier.

This project was originally spearheaded by the Yan family, who brought in Yue Jiwei to collaborate.

Later, after some complicated history, Yue Jiwei clearly got along better with a high-ranking member of the Jiang family. Therefore, relying on his status as a wealthy businessman in Nancheng, he quietly joined forces with the local authorities to kick out the Yan family and replace the Jiang family with the partner for the entire project.

Although Yue Jiwei repeatedly complained to Yan Shiyu that he had his reasons, that he was forced into it, and that he had no choice, no one would have thought that from the very beginning, he was already part of Yan Shiyu's scheme.

Whether he plays a positive or negative role in this matter, the final result will be the same.

A month later, the project in Nancheng was put on hold indefinitely due to policy issues.

Despite Yue Jiwei's best efforts in the local area, he was still unable to salvage the situation.

All the initial investments made by the Jiang and Yue families went down the drain.

This was not originally a project that Jiang Muchen personally took over. However, after the incident, the senior executive who took over the project chose to resign and leave. In the end, Jiang Muchen had to bear the harsh criticism and anger of the board of directors.

As things have developed to this point, others might not see anything wrong, but Jiang Muchen would find it hard not to notice something amiss.

Yan Shiyu's strategy was almost clear.

This incident must be related to the Yan family.

After Jiang Muchen figured out the reason behind this, he directly missed the board meeting where he was to be held accountable.

He has always disregarded those old men on the board of directors, and now he's even less inclined to listen to a single word they have to say.

However, his actions only added fuel to the fire.

With nowhere to vent their anger, the shareholders could only turn to Jiang Beiheng.

Therefore, Jiang Beiheng, who had been recuperating for more than a year, had to reappear at Jiang's company and convene and preside over the shareholders' meeting the following day.

During the meeting, a shareholder dropped a piece of gossip.

The news was released this morning. The footage was taken yesterday and features Jiang Muchen and a young girl, whom the gossip media refers to as his "new love."

The shareholders were furious because Jiang Muchen was absent from yesterday's shareholders' meeting, yet he still had the mind to meet with a woman.

Jiang Beiheng looked at the photos, but his gaze lingered on the girl's familiar features.

Overall, they don't look particularly alike.

But those eyes really do look quite similar.

Like Tang Xu.

Others might not be able to see it, but he knew his son's thoughts clearly, so he could see it.

Unfortunately, given this father-son relationship, he had no right to say anything to him.

The more he says, the more counterproductive it will be. Besides, Tang Xu has already made her stance clear to him time and time again.

No matter how hard he tries, he'll only end up pleasing neither side.

As an elder bystander, he watched helplessly as the marriage reached a dead end.

However, he still had to deal with the Jiang family.

Because of a series of recent events, the Jiang family's interests have been repeatedly damaged and the stock price has continued to decline. In front of Jiang Beiheng, the board of directors proposed a motion to replace the CEO.

The motion had been agreed upon by most people, but because Jiang Beiheng presided over the meeting, some shareholders still gave him face, and the final vote barely saved Jiang Muchen's position.

Jiang Beiheng therefore assured everyone that he would definitely help the Jiang family get out of its current slump as soon as possible.

In fact, after speaking with Yan Shiyu on the phone last time, Jiang Beiheng also sensed something.

Yan Shiyu seemed to harbor a hint of hostility.

But he didn't know why this hostility had arisen.

However, Yan Shiyu did not want to have any in-depth conversation with him.

If things continue to develop this way, it will ultimately do neither Jiang Yan nor her family any good.

After much deliberation, Jiang Beiheng finally decided to visit Old Master Yan at the Yan family's old residence after the meeting.

……

Since the news of the suspension of the Nancheng project came out, Duan Siwei has been waiting for news.

As a result, on the third day he received a message saying that Yan Shiyu was going abroad on a business trip for a few days.

Unable to contact Yan Shiyu, Duan Siwei once again went to the entrance of Qiushuitai parking lot to wait for him that night.

As a result, Yan Shiyu didn't manage to block Tang Xu, but instead did.

Tang Xu felt a little uncomfortable when she saw him, but when she heard that he was there to see Yan Shiyu, she let him into the car.

As Duan Siwei watched Tang Xu smoothly drive into the private parking lot, then skillfully swipe her card to open the door, enter the elevator, and swipe her card again to go upstairs, he couldn't help but swear.

Tang Xu knew perfectly well what he meant by his foul language, but didn't reply.

Yan Shiyu had not yet returned. After entering the house, Tang Xu decided to leave the common area to him while he waited for Yan Shiyu, and then temporarily disappear from his sight.

However, Duan Siwei suddenly called out to her.

"Did you know that Yan Shiyu is going abroad on a business trip?"

Tang Xu was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. "When?"

"tomorrow."

"Oh," Tang Xu replied. "He didn't tell me."

"Aren't you worried?" Duan Siwei continued to ask.

"Why worry?" Tang Xu said. "It's just a business trip."

Duan Siwei's lips curled into an ambiguous smile, "Have you forgotten what happened when he went abroad on a business trip last time? He was out of contact for over a month..."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xu indeed remembered.

She looked at Duan Siwei and asked, "Are you suggesting that the same thing might happen to him on this business trip?"

Just as Duan Siwei was about to say something, there was a sudden noise behind him.

Yan Shiyu is back. (End of Chapter)
