Chapter 1649: Let Him Have Nothing

~7 min read 1,329 words

As for Xie Wanyi, he did not look worried in the slightest.

He said in a flat tone, "I'm buying his information."

Upon hearing this, Ling Yu thought for a moment and instantly understood!

Although the Organization has rules against using its resources for personal revenge.

But if one buys that grandson's information as a buyer...

Then the Organization would absolutely not intervene again!

My, as expected of Xie Wanyi, his brain turns fast!

It's just that it will cost a bit of money.

But given the small treasury the two of them have accumulated over years of missions, this little expense is not worth mentioning!

Ling Yu returned to his devil-may-care demeanor, then asked with a face full of gossip, "How exactly did that grandson provoke you?"

President Xiao Wang had not actually provoked Xie Wanyi.

Rather, he had been disrespectful to Jiang Motian.

But this made him even angrier than if he had been provoked himself!

He did not overthink the reason for this.

At this moment, he only wanted to make President Xiao Wang suffer!

Since President Xiao Wang prides himself on his status, then...

Let's destroy the things he is most proud of!

Xie Wanyi's finger pressed a button.

A document capable of ruining President Xiao Wang was sent out.

At noon, it was the time when the sun was at its fullest.

Jiang Motian braved the scorching sun, carrying a sundial, and circled the courtyard once.

Finally, she chose a spot and set the object down.

The moment she set the heavy object down, Jiang Motian clearly breathed a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, she clapped her hands and straightened up.

Wei Yangyang stood in the shade, watching Jiang Motian's actions, and asked with some confusion, "What are you doing with this thing?"

"Feeling the time."

"Can't a watch feel the time just the same?"

Jiang Motian shook her head and replied, "It's not ancient enough."

This answer...

Never mind, a painter's train of thought is different from a normal person's.

However, a painter's taste buds are still the same as a normal person's.

Thinking of something, Wei Yangyang smiled and said, "It's hot outside, come drink some mung bean slush."

Jiang Motian was not thirsty or tired to begin with.

But as soon as she heard Wei Yangyang mention mung bean slush...

She instantly started to feel parched, licked her lips, and said, "Then let's go have some first."

Wei Yangyang happily entered the Art Studio with Jiang Motian.

The sunlight outside was too blinding; upon suddenly returning indoors, both of their eyes went dark for a moment.

After two or three seconds, the two of them adapted to the light inside the room.

Then...

Jiang Motian sighed.

Every time Wei Yangyang comes, she is bound to bring bags and packages.

This time was no exception.

Right now on the floor, there were bags and boxes of all sizes.

Jiang Motian didn't even need to ask.

If she asked, Wei Yangyang would say—they are all daily necessities.

But where would Jiang Motian need so many necessities?

Sigh!

Jiang Motian here was sighing silently.

While Wei Yangyang nimbly fished two plastic sealed cups out of a bag.

She opened one, handed it to Jiang Motian, and said, "This is mung bean slush I made myself, with ice added, cool and delicious!"

Jiang Motian took it and sat down to take a sip.

Hmm, the taste was quite good.

After one bite, she wanted another.

Seeing Jiang Motian unable to stop eating, Wei Yangyang happily curled her lips.

Her heart felt sweet too.

Afterwards, Wei Yangyang's gaze swept around the Art Studio...

Huh, where is the painting that was hanging on the easel?

Wei Yangyang was just about to ask, but then thought of something and changed her question: "Have you submitted your entry for the competition?"

"Mm."

This answer made Wei Yangyang let out a long breath, and she said, "That puts my mind at ease."

"But I'm not at ease; I'm worried I'll trip while walking."

Jiang Motian's words were actually still a hint to Wei Yangyang.

She felt that she had sent too many things.

Wei Yangyang, however, acted as if she didn't know, widened her eyes, and avoided the main point: "Just put the things on the shelf; if you're too lazy to sort them, I'll do it."

"You... you know full well that's not what I meant."

"But it's better to be prepared, isn't that great?"

"But also..."

Jiang Motian looked at Wei Yangyang's pure eyes and abruptly closed her lips.

Forget it, the other person meant well, and constantly saying discouraging things was quite a buzzkill.

Jiang Motian shook her head and decided to join Wei Yangyang in sorting the items on the floor.

While they were tidying up, Wei Yangyang exchanged the latest gossip with Jiang Motian: "Have you heard? That little grandson of the Wang Family who can't do anything right and leaves nothing uneaten is actually not of the Wang Family's bloodline!"

Jiang Motian raised an eyebrow and said, "Where did this piece of hearsay come from?"

"It's not hearsay; the Wang Family is already in an uproar, and they've even kicked out Xiao Wang! He has nothing left now!"

Nothing left?

That kind of devious guy deserves to have nothing.

Jiang Motian hummed softly, her hands not stopping their work.

And Wei Yangyang continued: "By the way, that information leak from before was also intentionally leaked by Xiao Wang, with the goal of seizing power!"

Wei Yangyang deliberately emphasized her tone.

She was hoping Jiang Motian would join in and discuss it with her.

As a result...

Jiang Motian just listened quietly, not saying a single word.

This made Wei Yangyang drop her shoulders and mutter, "Your reaction is too dull."

"Among big families, this kind of thing is too common. If you dig deep, no family is truly clean."

"Who says? Your family is clean!"

Jiang Motian shrugged and retorted, "Once my second brother makes a move, how could there be any cleanliness left?"

Ah, this...

Wei Yangyang's lips moved, but she didn't respond.

She thought for a while and asked a hypothetical question: "If one day your second brother suddenly settles down and finds a girlfriend, your parents would probably be very happy, right?"

Who knew, Jiang Motian immediately gave a negative answer: "No, they would only think my second brother had been impersonated."

Jiang Motian's words made Wei Yangyang laugh.

Immediately after, she said again: "The world is unpredictable; you should also have some confidence in your second brother."

"Sigh, I also hope he can give us a miracle."

As her voice fell, Jiang Motian's fingers touched something hard.

She picked this thing up to look at it and discovered it was a very large insulated lunch box.

"This of yours is..."

Wei Yangyang took a glance and began to introduce it: "The auntie at home made soybeans with pig trotters, rock sugar braised pork knuckle, braised chicken wings, and dry-pot cauliflower. I thought, aren't these all dishes you love to eat, so I brought you some."

Hearing this, there was a loophole.

It was clearly food that Wei Yangyang had specially had people prepare according to Jiang Motian's tastes!

Jiang Motian didn't expose her either, just smiled and touched the lunch box.

Then she asked: "Is it still that same auntie who cooks?"

"Yes, yes, you even praised that auntie's cooking skills when you came to my house to play before."

Jiang Motian had an impression of this.

That time she went to the Wei Family, she had eaten so much that she got indigestion when she got home and had to drink porridge for a week.

At this moment, Jiang Motian opened the lid of the lunch box and took a sniff.

It was still the familiar taste!

Jiang Baobao looked at the screen, her heart sinking as she realized the situation was far more complicated than she had initially anticipated.
