Chapter 1677: She Is a Different Kind of Existence

Xie Wanyi was not surprised that the other party could know his identity.

Mentioning Wuyou Hall, Xie Wanyi's expression was indifferent: "I am no longer a person of Wuyou Hall, and in the future, I will only conduct legitimate business."

"Is this an attempt to sever ties with the past? But based on what you all did before, can you really wash yourselves clean?"

Facing Li Xingyan's questioning, Xie Wanyi slightly lifted his chin.

He said: "Human effort can achieve anything."

"Heh, the idea is good, I just fear some people are indulging in wishful thinking!"

"While you are making sarcastic remarks, we have already begun our actions long ago, so, just wait and see."

The attitude of these two as they spoke became increasingly impolite.

The atmosphere was also very tense.

Li Xingyan even raised an eyebrow, curled his lips slightly, and said: "Compared to waiting and seeing, I would rather have a proper contest with you!"

"Very well, I welcome your instruction."

Xie Wanyi responded with a flat expression.

But in reality?

He really wanted to give a bitter smile.

In that conversation just now, Li Xingyan had very clearly expressed a signal: he was declaring war on Xie Wanyi!

It seems that for the period to come, the company's days will likely not be easy...

Xie Wanyi sighed silently.

Afterwards, he heard Li Xingyan ask a question: "My sister getting drunk, was it because of you?"

With the preamble finished, Li Xingyan finally arrived at the main topic.

The atmosphere inside the reception room also changed abruptly!

Xie Wanyi raised his eyes, and replied calmly: "When I saw Jiang Motian, she was already drunk."

This answer was a classic case of avoiding the important and dwelling on the trivial.

It gave one the feeling of having answered, yet not having answered at all.

Li Xingyan did not expect Xie Wanyi to confess honestly either.

After a light snort, he asked a second question: "That photo, you were the one who sent it to me, right?"

"Yes."

"Why did you do that?"

"Jiang Motian was drunk, I wanted to send her home, she refused, so I could only find someone who could keep her in check to step in."

"But with Wei Yangyang there, why was it necessary for you to meddle in this business?"

"Because she couldn't handle Jiang Motian, your sister's behavior when drunk..."

Xie Wanyi did not continue speaking.

But the meaning he wanted to convey was very clear.

And regarding this point, Li Xingyan did not refute.

Because he knew what his sister was like when she was drunk.

No, after going back, he must make that girl abstain from alcohol!

While Li Xingyan was silently making arrangements, Xie Wanyi posed a question: "Since you have doubts in your heart, why not ask Jiang Motian for the answer?"

Li Xingyan certainly wanted to ask her.

But it would be a wonder if Jiang Motian answered honestly!

Furthermore...

Li Xingyan stared at Xie Wanyi guardedly and said: "Tiantian was tipsy at the time, there are some things she doesn't remember clearly."

He suspected that at the bar, things had happened that even Jiang Motian was unaware of.

Unfortunately, Li Xingyan had no evidence.

He could only use his aura to pressure Xie Wanyi, in order to break his psychological defenses and make him confess honestly.

But if Xie Wanyi dared not say anything else, his psychological fortitude was top-tier.

Facing Li Xingyan's powerful aura, he did not change his expression.

He even smiled faintly and said: "Is that so? I thought the relationship between you siblings was average, and she wasn't willing to tell you."

This seemingly plain remark, which was actually full of provocation, made Li Xingyan's expression change instantly!

He even wanted to lose his temper!

Fortunately, reason controlled his brain.

After a deep breath, Li Xingyan sneered and said: "Your methods of provocation are truly pathetic."

"Provocation? Jiang Motian doesn't even want to see me, what is the point of me provoking? It was purely a spontaneous remark."

"Then keep your spontaneous remarks to yourself!"

"Very well, but before intimidating others, shouldn't you first look at whose territory you are on?"

Xie Wanyi's counter-question caused the reason in Li Xingyan's brain to rapidly diminish...

It had truly been a very, very long time since anyone dared to speak to Li Xingyan with such an attitude.

Li Xingyan's voice became very dangerous: "This arrogant appearance is your true face, isn't it? But I still think your submissive appearance was more pleasing to the eye!"

Facing Li Xingyan's mockery, Xie Wanyi had no reaction.

He only responded indifferently: "Then please get used to the current me."

"Whether I get used to it or not is unimportant; as for you, having worn a mask to interact with people back then, didn't you feel guilty?"

"No, executing a mission, I had no choice but to be so."

"Then my younger sister is also just one of your missions, is that it?"

This question caused cracks to appear in Xie Wanyi's calm mask.

Deep down, he knew it wasn't!

Jiang Motian was an existence different from the rest to him!

But what would it matter if he said it out loud?

It wouldn't change anything...

Xie Wanyi's mood gradually calmed down, and then he countered, "Is this question even worth asking?"

This airy tone irritated Li Xingyan so much that he almost couldn't control his fists!

Jiang Motian had looked normal during this time, but Li Xingyan knew she was still hurt.

And Jiang Motian was also waiting for an explanation.

This explanation was not the three words "I'm sorry" that merely skimmed the surface.

Nor was it about forcibly drawing a line between the two of them.

It was about Xie Wanyi speaking from his heart.

Only with such words could Jiang Motian truly find closure.

But...

Xie Wanyi's "Is this question even worth asking" made everything meaningless.

Li Xingyan suddenly stood up!

Xie Wanyi thought he was going to make a move.

As it turned out, Li Xingyan started to laugh instead.

He braced his arms on the table and leaned in toward Xie Wanyi.

He then said, "You are a man who does big things, but no one can hurt my sister's heart and walk away unscathed! You had better pray for your own luck!"

After saying this, Li Xingyan left the reception room with a smile on his face.

He was the type of person who would laugh when he was extremely angry.

It was a laugh that made people terrified and sent a chill down their spines.

Xie Wanyi, however, did not feel afraid; he simply raised a hand to rub his temples.

He knew that whether it was the company or himself, they were likely about to face a major test.

To avoid having his previous plans disrupted, Xie Wanyi summoned several of his subordinates.

He urged everyone to be on high alert and prepare to deal with any problems that might arise at any moment.

On the other side—

Sensing that the situation was not good, Wei Yangyang had already hurried to the Art Studio.

But Jiang Motian was not there, and she did not answer her phone when called.

Wei Yangyang stood anxiously at the entrance of the Art Studio for a long time before she finally waited for Jiang Motian to arrive.

The moment she saw Jiang Motian, Wei Yangyang said with a tearful voice, "You're finally back!"

Seeing her aggrieved appearance, Jiang Motian asked hurriedly, "What happened?"

"Just now, your brother found me and suddenly asked about Xie Wanyi! I—I was so scared that I told him everything..."

Wei Yangyang felt very guilty, and as she spoke, she couldn't help but lower her head.

But she quickly looked up again to add, "As for why you were drinking and the reason you were in a bad mood, I didn't say a word!"

"You came to find me just to say this?"

"Yeah, I called you and you didn't answer, you really worried me to death!"
