Chapter 385: I'll Kill You
Before he could finish his sentence, he received Wei Zhou's death stare. He quickly zipped his mouth. His small eyes were clearly expressing, "Spare me this once, I promise I won't speak again." .
Wei Zhou watched everything Xia Zijian did for Su Yan. Another man took care of jos beloved. This feeling was too unbearable for him. He even wanted to smash the window and throw Xia Zijian out. However, he still held it in. He had already acted impulsively last night. If he fought with Xia Zijian in front of her, it would only make Su Yan hate him even more.
At the same time, Xia Zijian glanced at Wei Zhou. He had a dark expression on his face. Not only was Xia Zijian not afraid, he even smiled. Wasn't Wei Zhou always so aloof? It turned out that he also cared about some things and people. He could also angry over other people.
Xia Zijian looked at Su Yan. Su Yan had already fallen asleep. Sitting alone in the aisle was indeed a little boring. Fortunately, he still had his phone, so he took it out and read a novel. However, after reading for a while, he still felt bored. When he was bored to death, he found that Wei Zhou was still staring at him.
"Ha, interesting." Xia Zijian muttered to himself. He felt that Wei Zhou was really interesting, so he decided to tease him at the last minute.
He smiled at Wei Zhou. His smile was full of provocation. As long as Wei Zhou wasn't a fool, he could tell that he was declaring war on him. Seeing Xia Zijian's smug look, Wei Zhou clenched his fists tightly. He was holding back the urge to make a move.
At this moment, Xia Zijian unfastened his seatbelt and walked straight to Su Yan's side. He personally helped Su Yan cover the blanket on her body. Coincidentally, at this moment, the plane suddenly shook and Xia Zijian stumbled. Although he didn't fall, his entire body was covering Su Yan's body. If not for his two arms supporting the back of Su Yan's seat, the two of them would have already kissed. Su Yan, who was sleeping, was almost completely covered by Xia Zijian's tall and sturdy body. Other than Xia Zijian, no one could see Su Yan at all.
Although half of Xia Zijian's action was caused by the shaking of the plane, Wei Zhou's eyelids still twitched when he thought of his provocative smile just now. The other party had already provoked him. If Wei Zhou could still endure it, then he might as well become a monk.
Wei Zhou also unfastened his seatbelt. Someone dared to tease Su Yan in front of him. He wanted to teach this person a lesson. However, just as he stood up, his pupils quivered. He saw that Xia Zijian was actually using his other hand to touch Su Yan's hand. Xia Zijian, afraid that he would wake up Su Yan, was very careful with his touch.
Boom! It was as if an atomic bomb had exploded in Wei Zhou's head. Su Yan had been touched by another man. This scene turned into a steel needle and stabbed at his little heart. The feeling of overwhelming jealousy made his nerves throb.
Xia Zijian actually touched Su Yan's hand in front of him. Wei Zhou couldn't accept this fact. He, her ex-husband, hadn't even touched Su Yan's fair and tender hands. He thought that Xia Zijian had already gone too far. He didn't expect that what he was going to do next would be even more outrageous. Xia Zijian actually bent down to kiss Su Yan.
Just as Xia Zijian's big mouth was about to touch Su Yan's lips, Wei Zhou finally came back to his senses. He grabbed the back of Xia Zijian's collar and pulled him away with an enraged look in his eyes. His voice was filled with anger as he said, "Are you courting death?!"
Xia Zijian smiled playfully and said without fear, "Wei Zhou, other people are afraid of you, but I'm not afraid of you. We are both the CEO of our companies. Don't use your identity to pressure me."
Wei Zhou's eyes were full of anger as a cold look formed on his face. "Xia Zijian, I'm warning you. If you dare to touch her again, I will kill you!"
At this moment, a flight attendant walked over. Seeing the two of them looking at each other with daggers drawn, she quickly separated them and invited Xia Zijian back to his seat. If they caused trouble on the plane, the lightest penalty would be a fine, and the worst penalty would be half a month in jail.
Xia Zijian sat back in his chair and continued to look at Wei Zhou with a provocative smile. However, he didn't go over to provoke Wei Zhou. He only looked at Wei Zhou, who was burning with anger, and found it interesting.
Su Yan didn't sleep well last night. Although she took a nap, she didn't sleep very well. Therefore, she slept deeply on the plane. When she was woken up by the air stewardess, the plane was about to land in five minutes. She stretched lazily and found that she was covered with a blanket.
Chapter 386: Someone Is Secretly Investigating You
Su Yan tilted her head and smiled at Xia Zijian, who was in the corridor, to express her gratitude for taking care of her. The reason why she knew that Xia Zijian was the one who had asked for her blanket was because Wei Zhou and Lan Jian weren't such attentive men.
Xia Zijian smiled and said, "Have you slept well?"
Su Yan nodded. "Yes."
Xia Zijian said again, "It seems that beauty comes from sleeping. Sleeping beauties!"
Su Yan smiled and said, "Thank you for praising me."
In Jiang Du, this month's weather was like the mood of a young girl in love. Sometimes it was good, and sometimes it was bad. The sky was still clear before they landed, but after they landed, it started to drizzle.
After chatting with Xia Zijian, Su Yan folded the blanket and handed it back to the flight attendant. She found that Wei Zhou had been looking at her and Xia Zijian with a cold expression, but she pretended not to see anything.
When they got off the plane, Lan Jian spoke for the first time, "Oh, so it's Su Yan. I was wondering where this beauty came from. What a coincidence."
Su Yan didn't even look at him, as if she hadn't heard him at all. She was in a bad mood, and saying another word felt like a waste of her time. Seeing that she was ignoring him, Lan Jian could only shrug his shoulders and spread his hands. He had an expression that said, "Woman, you're really heartless!"
After leaving the airport, Su Yan directly got into Wang Xiaoxue's car. Initially, Xia Zijian wanted to personally send her off, but seeing that Wang Xiaoxue was already here, he could only let Su Yan leave. He watched as Su Yan disappeared at the airport entrance, Lan Jian looked at Wei Zhou and said, "Think about it. Although Su Yan didn't let you send her off, she didn't let Xia Zijian send her off either, so you still have a chance."
Wei Zhou frowned and didn't say anything. At this time, Xia Zijian's extended version of the Lincoln passed by Wei Zhou. Xia Zijian even deliberately lowered the car window and looked at Wei Zhou with a provocative smile. Their gazes met. Lan Jian, who was standing at the side, seemed to be able to see tension in the air. It wasn't until the car was far away that Xia Zijian raised the car window.
"Ah Zhou, I feel that Wang Xiaoxue seems to have a very good relationship with Su Yan. In the past, I only knew that Su Yan and Tang Yitong were best friends. When did Wang Xiaoxue appear? Both of them work under Miss Summer. One is a senior assistant, and the other is the top secretary of the company. According to their ranks, Wang Xiaoxue should be higher than Su Yan. How could she be the one to pick Su Yan up? Don't you think this is very strange?" Lan Jian's focus was completely different from Wei Zhou's. From Wang Xiaoxue's respectful attitude toward Su Yan just now, he had noticed something.
"I didn't realize before that you actually had such complicated thoughts. Why do you suddenly care about Wang Xiaoxue? Do you like her?" Wei Zhou glared at him and said.
Lan Jian was speechless.
Although he was in the entertainment industry, it didn't mean that he was a gossiper, okay? However, seeing that Wei Zhou was in a bad mood, he didn't say anything. He was also extremely tired, and he didn't want to be pulled by Wei Zhou to the boxing gym to be a punching bag.
..
In the car.
Wang Xiaoxue asked while driving, "President Su, there's something I have to tell you. I found out that someone has been secretly investigating you recently."
Su Yan raised her eyebrows. "Wei Zhou? Or Xia Zijian?"
Wang Xiaoxue shook her head. "Neither. It's someone you would never think of."
Su Yan's beautiful eyes flickered. "Oh, who is it that's so mysterious?"
Wang Xiaoxue answered, "The party secretary of Xiang City, Yue Chuang."
Su Yan raised her eyebrows. "Yue Chuang? Why is it him? Are you sure?"
Wang Xiaoxue nodded. "I'm very sure. Yesterday, Yue Chuang's secretariat called the group and investigated you in a roundabout way. They also collected some information about you from many sources. They didn't even spare Feng City."
Hearing this, Su Yan was a little surprised. Wasn't Yue Chuang the high-ranking official who chatted with Xia Jiang at the banquet last night? The two of them had never interacted before. At most, they were acquaintances. There was no enmity between them. Why did he suddenly start investigating her? Could it be that Yue Chuang also coveted her for her beauty? Very quickly, Su Yan rejected this idea. Yue Chuang was almost forty years old this year, and he already had a family. It seemed that his children weren't young anymore. How could he lust after a twenty-something girl like her? Moreover, government officials care about reputation the most. Once they were reported, they would be dismissed.
Su Yan asked, "What did they find out?"
Wang Xiaoxue thought for a moment and said, "There isn't much about you. It seems that the focus is on your mother."
Su Yan was stunned. "Yue Chuang sent people to investigate my mother?"
Wang Xiaoxue nodded and said, "That's right. From the questions they asked and the places they sent people to investigate, they seem to be more interested in your mother's matter. This is also what I can't figure out."
Chapter 387: Yet to Be Considered
Su Yan also felt that it was strange, so she asked again, "If they're investigating my mother, then what about my father? Have they done the same?"
Wang Xiaoxue shook her head. "That's not it. The main investigation point is your mother."
No matter how smart Su Yan was, she still couldn't figure out why Yue Chuang wanted to investigate her mother. However, when the time came, she would take it as it came. She didn't care what he was up to. If Yue Chuang really had some ulterior motive, then, he would come looking for her sooner or later. At that time, she would know what the other party wanted to do.
After thinking for a while, Su Yan instructed, "Keep an eye on this matter. If there's any new developments, let me know immediately."
Wang Xiaoxue nodded. "Understood."
..
Xuanwen Group's headquarters.
At 3:30 in the afternoon, Su Yan and Wang Xiaoxue walked out of the meeting room. She had originally planned to go straight home to sleep when she got off the plane. In the end, she was pulled to the company by Wang Xiaoxue. When she arrived, she held a meeting with the company's higher-ups, to guide and arrange the work for the next quarter.
Su Yan said, "If there's nothing else, I'll go back. If there's anything, feel free to contact me."
Wang Xiaoxue asked, "Shall I send you off?"
Su Yan said, "Didn't the company assign me a full-time driver? Do they have nothing better to do?"
Wang Xiaoxue nodded. "Then I'll get Mr. Wu to send you off."
The company assigned Su Yan a full-time driver called Mr. Wu. When he was young, he was a driving instructor. Later, the company offered to pay him a high salary, so he came here to be a full-time driver. Mr. Wu was reliable and didn't talk much. He never drank or smoked. He didn't have any bad habits. His driving was fast and steady. Every time she sat in his car, Su Yan could take a nap in peace.
..
Floral Villa.
Su Yan had just entered the house when Tang Yitong called. "Big star, are you idle again?"
Tang Yitong's gloating voice sounded. "I can't be idle anymore. Just now, the program director and the guest got into a fight. Now, the entire program team is in a mess. The other guests are waiting in their cars. I wonder if we will still be able to record today."
Su Yan raised her eyebrows. "To dare to fight with the director, it seems that he doesn't intend to stay in the industry anymore."
Tang Yitong changed the topic. Compared to the fight, she was more interested in Su Yan's matter. "What exactly happened at Xia Jiang's birthday banquet yesterday? A trending search today is the news that Xia Jiang wants to acknowledge you as his goddaughter. Is it true or not?"
If it wasn't for the fact that she had been recording the program until midnight last night, she would have called Su Yan long ago. Since the rumors with Xia Zijian started, Su Yan had been occupying the third place on the trending search rankings. Her popularity remained high. She had practically forced all the celebrities in the entertainment industry to a dead end.
Su Yan took off her jacket and socks, leaned against the sofa and said, "Of course it's true. Which media would dare to spread rumors about Xia Jiang?"
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that she was too tired last night, she would have called Tang Yitong. After all, if she was the little daughter of the North Stream Real Estate Group, she would have high status. No one would be foolish enough to reject the offer. Moreover, Xia Jiang had protected her in front of so many people last night, giving her a sufficient sense of security and care. This was an experience that she had never experienced after her parents died. It was just that she hadn't thought about it yet, so she also wanted to ask Tang Yitong for her opinion.
After getting her confirmation, on the other end of the phone, Tang Yitong's expression was exaggerated as she said, "I'm really impressed by your damn charm. Even when just going to a birthday banquet, a big shot was willing to take you in as his goddaughter. How can others survive?"
Su Yan laughed and said, "Do you think I should agree?"
Tang Yitong hurriedly said, "What are you saying? What do you mean should you agree? Do you even need to consider this matter? If it were me, I would have agreed on the spot at the banquet. Do you know that North Stream Real Estate Group is now the industry leader? Furthermore, last year, they were ranked fifth in the list of the country's top enterprises. Furthermore, Xia Jiang's personal wealth is also in the top ten in the country. His net worth is more than 200 billion. To put it bluntly, once you become his goddaughter, you don't need to consider whether I have enough money to spend for the rest of your life."
Hearing this, Su Yan raised her eyebrows. "Money, money, money. All you know is money. Look at you, you're obsessed with money."
Tang Yitong retorted, "Hey, hey, I don't like what you're saying even more. Xia Jiang is from our parents'generation. If you don't talk about money with him, do you want to talk about relationships? Do you want to have a sunset romance?"
Su Yan was so angry that she laughed. "I'm thinking, if Xia Jiang wants me to be his goddaughter, could there be another motive behind it?"
One must not have the intention to harm others, but one must be wary of others. This was a wisdom that had been passed down from ancient times to the present. When dealing with someone like Xia Jiang, who was experienced and ewise, one couldn't just look at the surface of everything. One must be more careful.
Chapter 388: Force an Apology
After a few seconds, Tang Yitong snorted and said, "It should be fine. If it's assets, Xia Jiang will definitely have more than you, so he won't be after your money. As long as it's not money, then it doesn't matter."
Su Yan was speechless. "I'm hanging up!"
Tang Yitong was speechless.
Although Tang Yitong agreed, Su Yan still hadn't made up her mind. She still needed some time to think about this matter. However, Tang Yitong was right about one thing. It seemed that other than money, she didn't have anything that could attract Xia Jiang. However, if it was a competition of money, her little assets were nothing compared to Xia Jiang's 200 billion. Therefore, Xia Jiang must have really liked her. He simply wanted to make up for the regret of not having a daughter.
After a full meal, Su Yan lay on the bed and fell asleep. What five-star hotel? What presidential suite? There wasn'thing that could compare to the comfort of her own bedroom. Despite the sound of the drizzling rain outside, Su Yan slept very peacefully.
..
Wei family's villa.
Compared to Su Yan's deep sleep, Wei Zhou's mood wasn't as gloomy as this day. He hadn't returned to the Wei family's villa for seven to eight months. It was rare for him to come back today to take a look.
Looking at Zhong Cuiping, who had just returned from playing mahjong outside, Wei Zhou sat on the sofa and said in a low voice, "You're back."
Zhong Cuiping was stunned. She didn't expect Wei Zhou to come home today. Just as she was about to say something, she saw Wei Shani and Wei Yanbing sitting on the other side of the sofa. Both of them had their heads lowered and didn't speak.
Zhong Cuiping raised her eyebrows. She sensed that the atmosphere in the room wasn't right. However, she still pretended not to see anything and said, "Ah Zhou, you didn't tell me you were going home. I wouldn't have stayed up so late playing mahjong. I would have come back to cook for you a long time ago."
Wei Zhou raised his head and looked at Zhong Cuiping. His eyes looked cold. "No need to eat. I'm not hungry either. I came back today because I have something to tell you."
Zhong Cuiping was scared by Wei Zhou's gaze and laughed dryly. "Wh-what is it? Since you're home, no matter how important it is, it's not as important as eating."
Then, Zhong Cuiping turned her head and glared at Wei Shani and Wei Yanbing. "Are you two stupid? Your brother is back. Don't you know how to make tea for him? Have you forgotten what I've taught you?"
Zhong Cuiping walked in front of Wei Yanbing aggressively and gave him a fierce kick on the calf. She said with an angry expression, "You little b*stard. Yesterday, you said that you had something to say to your brother when he came back. Now that your brother is back, what do you have to say to him? Why do you look so submissive and don't even dare to say a word? Why did I give birth to you two?"
Wei Shani sat at the side and looked up at Zhong Cuiping. She wanted to say something, but when she saw Wei Zhou looking at her coldly, she immediately became listless. Towards her cold and unreasonable brother, she felt fear from the bottom of her heart.
Seeing that Zhong Cuiping had finished her act, Wei Zhou said directly, "When I was with Su Yan in the past, I won't say much about how the three of you treated Su Yan. I'm sure you all know very well. I only recently discovered that the reason Su Yan was bossed around by you people, bullied and oppressed, suffered all kinds of hardships, and suffered all kinds of grievances was entirely because of my indifference to her."
Without waiting for him to finish, Zhong Cuiping interrupted, "Ah Zhou, what do you want to say?"
Wei Zhou raised his head and looked straight at Zhong Cuiping. Without any emotion on his face, he said, "If you still treat me as your son, then please take the two of them to apologize to Su Yan. However, you must be sincere to express regret for bullying Su Yan in the past!"
Zhong Cuiping frowned. "Ah Zhou, do you know what you are saying?!"
Wei Zhou's voice was still as cold as ever. "Of course, I also know the temperaments of the three of you, so I won't force you to apologize to Su Yan. However, I will have to ask you to move out of this place. I will also take back my property."
There was a moment of silence in the villa. Wei Zhou's calm words were filled with a ruthless voice, so cold that it made everyone's breathing stop.
Zhong Cuiping looked at Wei Zhou in disbelief. "What did you say? You actually want us to apologize to that little b*tch Su Yan?! Wei Zhou, are you crazy?"
Wei Zhou said coldly, "I'm not crazy. I'm just doing what I think is right. You have bullied Su Yan before. If you bully others, you have to be prepared to apologize. If you can't do it, then move out of here!"
