Chapter 333: He Can't Even Stand This Bit of Grievance
After a simple breakfast, Su Yan changed her clothes and drove to the gym. She exercised from seven in the morning until eleven before returning to the villa. Coincidentally, the food delivery arrived at her doorstep at the same time.
After taking off her shoes and entering the house, Tang Yitong called, "You're awake?"
Su Yan laughed. "What are you talking about? Am I that lazy? Are you idle again?"
Tang Yitong replied, "I just finished filming a rather tragic emotional scene and am resting now. Sister Shen Ling helped me order some food. I'll be able to eat in a while. Oh right, I just checked. The trending search for Wei Zhou's car accident has disappeared. He must have asked someone to remove it. Speaking of which, what exactly happened last night? Why did he get into a car accident?"
Su Yan snorted coldly. "If you ask me, who am I to ask? I'm not a louse on his head. Who knows how he got into a car accident all of a sudden?"
It wasn't that she wasn't willing to tell her, but she really didn't know. Last night, she scolded Wei Zhou and then sat in her car. After a while, she drove away. Because she lived in a different direction from Wei Zhou, the two of them were on completely different roads. Naturally, they went their separate ways. If it weren't for Tang Yitong and Jiang Ruoruo sending her so many messages, she probably wouldn't have known about Wei Zhou's car accident.
Tang Yitong said with disbelief, "Hmph, I don't believe it. When I called you last night, your mood was obviously not right. It was as if you were trying to hide something. Although I wasn't by your side, don't think that you can escape my ears. Quickly tell me the truth. What happened between you and Wei Zhou last night?"
Hearing this, Su Yan couldn't help but laugh. She felt that Tang Yitong was acting smart for once, so she teased, "You're really something. You're so observant when it comes to my matters."
It was rare for her to be praised, so Tang Yitong said proudly, "Don't try to change the topic. This trick of yours is useless against me. Hurry up and tell me the truth. What's going on between you and Wei Zhou?"
Looking at the takeout, Su Yan was speechless. It seemed that she wouldn't be able to eat it while it was warm, so she said into her phone, "Actually, it's nothing at all. Yesterday, on a whim, I went to play golf. In the end, I ran into Wei Zhou, Jiang Yuan, and the others. Jiang Ruoruo was also there. Everyone played together for a while before going to eat. It was Young Master Lan who treated us. When we finished eating, we met Chu Beibei."
On the other end of the phone, Tang Yitong couldn't help but say, "You met Chu Beibei? Did that woman find trouble with you again?"
Tang Yitong remembered Chu Beibei very clearly. Back when Su Yan and Wei Zhou were getting married, Chu Beibei rushed into the backstage dressing room and scolded Su Yan. Tang Yitong was furious whenever she thought about it. Coincidentally, she had gone to the bathroom at that time. If she had been there, she would have definitely pressed Chu Beibei, that stupid idiot, to the ground!
In order to avenge Su Yan, Tang Yitong had specially gone to look for Chu Beibei a few times. In the end, the two of them had never had the chance to meet. After causing a huge ruckus with Su Yan, Chu Beibei had left the country as if nothing had happened. At that time, she wasn't as famous as she was now. She didn't have a job overseas, so she could only remember this grudge to settle the account later.
Su Yan smiled. "I wouldn't go that far. She just said a few harsh words. It's still the same as before."
Tang Yitong snorted. "Sooner or later, I'm going to break her stinky mouth!"
Looking at the food that was about to get cold, Su Yan couldn't help but say, "Alright, let's not talk anymore. I'm starving to death. You should hurry up and eat."
Tang Yitong hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, you haven't answered me. Did Wei Zhou's car accident last night have anything to do with you?"
Su Yan simply said, "Of course not. We went our separate ways."
The two of them hung up the phone and Su Yan began to eat. She didn't sleep last night and had just gone to the gym. If she didn't eat something, she would faint. As she ate, she thought about Wei Zhou's car accident. Last night, she had only returned the words that others had scolded her with to Wei Zhou.
Su Yan shook her head in disdain and muttered to herself, "He can't even stand this bit of grievance. He's nothing!"
After lunch, Su Yan burped and went to the cloakroom. She picked up the jewelry box that she had recovered. The beautiful gold bracelet was still lying quietly inside. She had originally planned to throw it away. She didn't want to accept this from that man, but after thinking for a long time, she still put it back. She had originally bought it to give to Tang Yitong. Moreover, she had already returned 300,000 yuan to that man. Why should she throw it away after spending the money?
Chapter 334: Can't You Be a Little More Confident
A few days passed in a row. After Lan Jian posted the news of Wei Zhou's car accident in the hospital, it shocked almost everyone in the entire Jiang Du. Everyone who knew him knew about it, therefore, every day, various people came to the hospital to visit Wei Zhou. However, Wei Zhou's eyes were fixed on the door of the ward. However, every time the door opened, he would feel disappointed, because the figure he saw had never appeared.
"Take all these things away. Don't send anyone to deliver any more things. I don't need them!" Lan Jian, who was about to push open the door of the ward, paused. Just from the sound of his voice, he could tell that Wei Zhou was angry again. Wei Zhou had waited for three days but still didn't see Su Yan. How could he be in a good mood?
After pushing open the door and entering the room, Lan Jian teased, "You're in good spirits."
Seeing that it was him who entered, Wei Zhou snorted coldly. "None of your business!"
There was an old saying that said that injured muscles and bones needed 100 days to recover. It meant that it would take at least 100 days for the injured muscles and bones to return to normal. According to the chief physician's instructions, with the injury on Wei Zhou's left leg, he would need to stay in the hospital for at least 20 days for observation. If there was nothing wrong after 20 days, he could be discharged from the hospital and go home to recuperate.
Ever since Wei Zhou became a disabled person, Lan Jian had finally found some fun. He didn't even go to nightclubs. Whenever he had the time, he would come to the hospital to anger Wei Zhou. Moreover, he would say anything that annoyed him. Wei Zhou was so angry that he had thrown fruit at him several times. If it was before Wei Zhou's accident, Lan Jian wouldn't dare to be so obnoxious. However, Wei Zhou couldn't get out of bed. Naturally, he had to seize the opportunity. After this, there wouldn't be such an opportunity anymore. When Wei Zhou's leg recovered, he wouldn't have the opportunity.
Ignoring Wei Zhou's fiery gaze, Lan Jian placed the exquisite fruit basket in his hand on the bedside table. "What? You can't take it anymore after not seeing Su Yan for a few days? Can't you be a little more confident?"
Lan Jian was also very helpless. If Su Yan had come to see him even once, ' Search newn0vel,0rg ' Wei Zhou wouldn't be so irritable. Seeing that Lan Jian had come, the secretary, Li Rong, took the opportunity to leave the ward. She was the most unlucky one in the past few days. Every day, she had to endure Wei Zhou's anger.
Lan Jian sat down by the bed. Looking at the piles of flowers and fruits everywhere, he said, "You're quite popular. The line of people who come to see you extends all the way to Feng City."
Wei Zhou didn't pay attention to him. He just looked at him coldly. He secretly swore in his heart that when his leg recovered, he would definitely bring Lan Jian to the boxing gym to train for a month. When that time came, he would see if he still said such obnoxious words.
Lan Jian felt a bit scared by his stare and laughed. "Why are you looking at me like that? If I were Su Yan, I would have given my body to you long ago."
The veins on Wei Zhou's forehead bulged and he spat out, "Get Out!"
After saying that, he picked up an apple and threw it at him. Lan Jian's reaction was very fast. He actually caught the apple with one hand. After rubbing it on his clothes, he chewed on the apple with a flippant expression.
Lan Jian chewed on the apple and said, "Even if you throw away everything in this room, it's useless. Now that everyone in Jiang Du knows that the great president of Excellent Era Corporation is in the hospital, do you think Su Yan won't know? She just doesn't want to come and see you, so no matter how depressed you are, it's useless. You can't just kidnap Su Yan, right?"
After saying that, he shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. Wei Zhou glared at him fiercely and tilted his head to the other side, as if he didn't want to bother with him anymore.
After Lan Jian threw the apple into the trash can, he came over to Wei Zhou's bedside with a smile and said, "Alright, let me tell you something serious. The night you got into the car accident, was it because Su Yan said something to you? If you can't process it, you can tell me and I'll help you analyze it."
Hearing him mention this, Wei Zhou felt like he was about to explode from anger. He directly ordered, "Li Rong, where's Li Rong? Hurry up and throw Lan Jian out!"
Lan Jian clicked his tongue and said, "Hey, no way. Mr. Wei, I'm just concerned about you. I want to help you sort out the situation. How can you let Li Rong throw me out?"
Wei Zhou snorted and said, "I don't need you to be concerned about me, nor do I need you to analyze things for me. You're still a bachelor. What can you help me analyze? Don't I know about you? You're just taking the opportunity to anger me."
Lan Jian touched his nose awkwardly. He felt that Wei Zhou was too smart since he actually saw through his thoughts. However, he still defended himself and said, "What are you saying? Am I the kind of person you're talking about? The two of us are buddies. If I don't help you analyze, who else can help you analyze?"
Chapter 335: Guan Yutong Apologizes
Lan Jian was too curious about what Su Yan had said to Wei Zhou that night that caused him to get into a car accident. Wei Zhou's mouth was tightly shut. He had been grinding on it for so long, yet he hadn't revealed a single word. Lan Jian was dying of curiosity.
He had originally wanted to dawdle for a while more, but under Li Rong's helpless and amused expression, Lan Jian could only choose to leave. As for what had happened that night, the two parties involved didn't tell anyone.
Wei Zhou stayed in the hospital for a full 32 days. This one month was a form of torture for him. It was no different from being in prison. Those who should have come to see him and those who should not have come to see him were all here The person he wanted to see the most was still nowhere to be seen.
In April, Jiang Du began to warm up. Even the snow had melted. On the fourth day of April, Wei Zhou finally received good news. After the chief physician's examination, he announced that he could be discharged from the hospital. After Wei Zhou was discharged, the first thing he did was to look for Li Rong and ask, "Has the Wan Xing Group managed to get an investment?"
Li Rong was stunned by his question. She felt that her boss was really a workaholic. After being stuck in there for so long, the first thing he did when he came out was to start working? Fortunately, she was a very qualified secretary. like Wang Xiaoxue. She secretly observed everything that her boss paid attention to.
Li Rong organized her words and said, "According to the information I received, as of yesterday, Wan Xing hasn't succeeded in attracting investment. However, I heard that they have been actively seeking cooperation with the Xuanwen Group."
Wei Zhou snorted and ordered, "Tell Guan Yong that my patience is limited. The business world is like a battlefield. I don't have time to bargain with him. Give him another two days. If he still doesn't solve the problem, I guarantee that he won't be able to get a single cent of investment in Jiang Du."
The longer Wan Xing dragged on, the harder it was to deal with and the more no one wanted to take over. Another month had passed, and it was no longer possible to easily cover the external debt with one billion. So, Wei Zhou's words weren't a joke. After all, no one wanted to bet so much money on an uncertain future. In Jiang Du, only Wei Zhou's Excellent Era Corporation and Miss Summer's Xuanwen Group had the ability to take over Wan Xing Group.
The other person was Bai You Investment's Jiang Yuan. If Guan Yong didn't look for these three companies, he could only look for Qualcomm Capital and Marriott Group. He was one of Qualcomm Capital's shareholders. As for Marriott Group, even though it was an outsider, he had a good relationship with the person in charge of their region. With just a phone call, he could guarantee that Guan Yong wouldn't be able to get an investment from these two companies.
Li Rong nodded and said, "Understood, CEO Wei."
During the month that Wei Zhou was hospitalized, Guan Yong had completely disappeared. He pretended to know nothing and thought that since Wei Zhou had been in a car accident, he would no longer care about the trivial matter of Guan Yutong. Therefore, he wanted to let it go.
Guan Yong had invited Miss Summer of the Xuanwen Group many times in a row, but was rejected by the Xuanwen Group. As for Bai You Investment, Jiang Yuan had offered too many conditions, and Guan Yong didn't want to accept them. Therefore, he treated Bai You Investment as a last resort. If he really couldn't negotiate with Xuanwen Group, he would choose Bai You Investment as the next best option.
Unfortunately, his wishful thinking was shattered by a phone call from Li Rong. After Guan Yong heard it, his expression changed. He didn't expect Wei Zhou to remember Guan Yutong the whole time. He really didn't understand. What was going on between Wei Zhou and Su Yan? They were already divorced, so why did he still help her so much? Could it be that the two of them had rekindled their old relationship?
Thinking back to that day at the dinner table, when he was dissed by Su Yan, Guan Yong was filled with anger. If it weren't for Wei Zhou, he wouldn't have endured until now. However, anger was just anger. Dragged it on was indeed not a solution. Wan Xing Group was already on the verge of collapse. If he offended Wei Zhou at this time, then both he and Wan Xing Group would be screwed. He didn't doubt Wei Zhou's threat at all, because he knew how capable Wei Zhou was.
Since he wasn't willing to let Guan Yutong go, as her father, he could only force his precious daughter to embarrass herself. Compared to Guan Yutong's development in the entertainment industry, saving Wan Xing Group from bankruptcy was the way to go.
As expected, when Guan Yutong publicly apologized to Su Yan on the live broadcast platform, both the entertainment industry and the internet were in an uproar. It was as if someone had thrown an atomic bomb on the internet. Everyone knew the ins and outs of the matter.
Chapter 336: Young Master Xia's Invitation
Guan Yutong was the initiator of all this. The netizens who had previously accused Su Yan of having no conscience because of the "Grandma incident" and the netizens who had scolded her for sending her biological grandmother and uncle to prison were all silent.
The netizens' were mindblown by Guan Yutong's scheming. Guan Yutong's image as an innocent and talented girl had also completely collapsed. She had personally planned and created the "identification of relatives" incident. This scheme was really too terrifying. She had done so to cause trouble for Su Yan. Before Guan Yutong had even logged off from her live broadcast, she received tons of criticism from the netizens. A trending search for her apology during her live broadcast was also the first thing that came up. This was also her first trending search after entering the entertainment industry. If nothing went wrong, it should be her last.
When Su Yan found out about this, she was still doing yoga. If not for Tang Yitong's call to inform her, she wouldn't have known that Guan Yutong had already apologized online. Although she was surprised, she still didn't take it seriously. She didn't even go to the live broadcast room to take a look.
While Wei Zhou was in the hospital, Su Yan went to Penang on a business trip. She also stayed in the beautiful Penang City for a week. After finishing her work in Penang, she returned to Jiang Du. Just as she entered the villa, Lan Jian's secretary called her and informed her that the copyright transfer contract for "The World" that she had negotiated at the golf course had been sent to Dragon Emperor Entertainment.
Su Yan smiled. She felt that it was rare for Lan Jian to be so reliable. If Lan Jian hadn't specifically asked his secretary to inform her, she would have forgotten about this matter. Since he had taken the initiative, Su Yan wouldn't reject the lucrative business.
Wang Xiaoxue also reported to her that Guan Yong had been asking her to meet him. Originally, she had planned to personally find Guan Yutong and ask her to come out and apologize. She didn't expect Guan Yong to be so tactful and actually make Guan Yutong publicly apologize first. She even told people the whole story. A trending search was currently headed by Guan Yutong, and the trending search title was "A vicious and scheming woman has appeared in the world!" There was a big red flame floating behind the title. From the looks of it, the fervor probably wouldn't die down for a while.
Su Yan did some calculations. It had been almost 40 days since her dinner with Guan Yong that day, and Guan Yutong had only publicly apologized now. She didn't need to think to know who had forced Guan Yong behind the scenes. However, she didn't want to have anything to do with Wei Zhou anymore. She would just take it that this man was repaying her for those three years.
..
Xuanwen Group.
Su Yan had just signed a few contracts and was about to leave when Wang Xiaoxue knocked on the door and walked in. "President Su, are you leaving?"
Su Yan nodded. "What's the matter?"
Wang Xiaoxue hesitated. Her two beautiful eyes scanned Su Yan's body, as if she was observing her mood. Her cautious look made Su Yan laugh.
"Xiaoxue, what's wrong? If you have something to say, just say it. I won't eat you," Su Yan said unhappily.
"President Su, there's a banquet this Friday. Are you interested?" Wang Xiaoxue probed.
"Banquet?" Su Yan raised her eyebrows.
"Yes, a very high-end banquet. This is an invitation letter. The banquet will be held in North Stream." As she spoke, Wang Xiaoxue handed over a golden invitation letter.
"Why would there be a banquet all of a sudden?" Su Yan was puzzled.
"I don't know either, but this banquet was organized by Young Master Xia of North Stream." Wang Xiaoxue answered.
"Xia Zijian?" Su Yan raised her eyebrows.
Young Master Xia of North Stream was also Xia Zijian. She had some impression of this person. She had once discussed business and had a meal with Xia Zijian's biological father, Xia Jiang. Not long after the banquet started, Xia Zijian walked in casually. He glanced at them indifferently and sat down to eat.
North Stream Real Estate Group was one of the top real estate companies in the country. A few years ago, they had cooperated with the government and made a lot of money. They had also established North Stream Real Estate Group's position as the leader in the real estate industry. That was why people called Xia Zijian "Young Master Xia". However, from Su Yan's point of view, Xia Zijian wasn't as simple as he looked. This person definitely had a very shrewd mind. Moreover, from his calculating gaze, it wasn't difficult to see that Xia Zijian was definitely a person who was very good at toying with the powerful.
Wang Xiaoxue nodded. "Because of the work needs of the North Stream Real Estate Group, Young Master Xia was transferred to Jiang Du. I heard that Young Master Xia will be staying here for quite a while."
Su Yan pondered for a moment. "Decline it politely. Just say that I'm not free."
Although she was the biggest boss of Xuanwen Group, she had never been in the habit of attending banquets. In the past, she had also attended some banquets, but that was under other identities.
