Chapter 1679: What Kind of Gentleman Is This?

"Oh, then he can be considered a gentleman." Wei Yangyang breathed a sigh of relief.

But Jiang Motian snorted coldly: "He has a girlfriend of his own, yet he still wants to meddle in another woman's business; what kind of gentleman is that?"

Hmm...

Wei Yangyang looked at Jiang Motian and suddenly had an illusion.

She even voiced this illusion: "Are you jealous?"

Jiang Motian was completely stunned.

The next second, her emotions became very agitated, and she opened her mouth to deny it: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm not, that's not it at all!"

"Alright, alright, you're not."

Wei Yangyang said this with her mouth, but her eyes were secretly peeking at Jiang Motian.

She felt... this woman was saying one thing while meaning another!

Jiang Motian did not know what Wei Yangyang was thinking.

At this moment, she stood up straight and said as if taking an oath: "Don't mention that name in front of me again!"

"Okay."

"Without him, I'm doing even better!"

"That's for sure."

"Next time, let's go to a bar to relax again!"

Wei Yangyang subconsciously wanted to agree.

But after thinking about it, she changed her mind: "Let's skip the bar; let's change to a different way to relax."

"What way?"

"We can... go square dancing! You dance while shouting; it's so stress-relieving!"

This was Wei Yangyang's new hobby recently, and she couldn't wait to share it with her good friend.

But her good friend only thought she was being funny on purpose.

She didn't take it to heart at all.

However, after chatting about this and that with Wei Yangyang, Jiang Motian was no longer tense.

Her whole person had relaxed quite a bit.

She was even able to calm down and paint a picture.

But Jiang Motian knew that after returning home, there would likely be another tough battle to fight!

However, after returning home... surprisingly, nothing happened.

Li Xingyan did not take the initiative to seek her out as Jiang Motian had expected.

In the end, it was Jiang Motian who lost her patience and took the initiative to go to the study to find Li Xingyan.

And she asked straight to the point: "Did you meet with Xie Wanyi?"

At this moment, Li Xingyan was busy with work and gave an "mm" without even lifting his head.

"Then did you... have an argument?"

Li Xingyan still kept his head buried and responded: "We aren't children anymore; if there's an issue, we discuss it, why would we argue?"

The tone he used to say this was truly calm and composed.

It was as if the person who had threatened Xie Wanyi earlier wasn't him.

And this calm performance by Li Xingyan did not make Jiang Motian feel at ease.

Instead, she asked urgently: "Then why did you go looking for Xie Wanyi?"

This time, Li Xingyan finally put down his work and looked up at Jiang Motian.

"Why are you so concerned about him? Isn't he no longer related to you? Then isn't whatever I do to him entirely up to me?"

This series of rhetorical questions made Jiang Motian's eyes shift away.

But she quickly regained her composure and said: "Xie Wanyi is from Wuyou Hall and has many tricks; I'm afraid you'll suffer a loss."

"Then let's wait and see who ends up suffering!"

After Li Xingyan finished speaking, he even curled his lips.

And this provocative look on his face clearly meant... he really intended to make a move against Xie Wanyi!

This also meant that discussing things amicably would have no effect.

There was no other way; Jiang Motian could only use her trump card!

She took a deep breath, then slammed her arm onto the desk and asked righteously: "By doing this, aren't you worried that the two of us will get entangled again!?"

Jiang Motian's rhetorical question indeed stirred Li Xingyan's emotions.

He deepened his smile and said eerily: "If he dares to pester you, I'll break his legs!"

Hmm...

This...

Why is it different from what I expected?

Jiang Motian thought Li Xingyan would hesitate, or even reflect on himself.

But she never expected that he would be completely unreasonable!

However, before Jiang Motian could recover, another unreasonable voice came from behind: "That's right, break his legs!"

Jiang Motian turned around abruptly and saw Li Beijue standing there.

Li Beijue wasn't trying to eavesdrop, oh.

He had come to the study to get a book.

It turned out this pair of siblings was talking too loudly, so he heard a little bit.

And this bit of content made his anger burn.

He even opened his mouth and shouted: "We must give that brat a taste of his own medicine!"

His words drew a nod of agreement from Li Xingyan.

But Jiang Motian had such a headache.

She rubbed her temples, then patiently negotiated: "Can't we just let this matter pass? Can't we just pretend this person never appeared in my life?"

Li Beijue and Li Xingyan spoke in unison: "No!"

This simultaneous response almost made Jiang Motian cry from anger!

Given the current situation, Jiang Motian could not handle it alone.

She had no choice but to find Jiang Baobao.

And after Jiang Baobao understood the situation, she gently stroked Jiang Motian's hair.

She also promised that she would handle the matter.

Miraculously, the next day, the father and son, Li Beijue and Li Xingyan, had actually ceased their hostilities.

Although their expressions were a bit sour, they didn't say a word about causing trouble for Xie Wanyi.

Jiang Motian thought it was amazing, so she asked Jiang Baobao: "Mom, what method did you actually use?"

"Actually, it's simple. I just told them that if they didn't stop, they would have to move out of this house."

This... was indeed very simple!

And brutal!

Jiang Motian silently gave her mother a thumbs up.

At the same time, an expression of admiration appeared on her face.

Jiang Baobao affectionately touched Jiang Motian's hair and then said: "In the future, if you have problems, just come to Mom. Mom will definitely help you."

"Mm!"

"Then see when you have time to have Xiaoshi come over to the house for a meal?"

Jiang Motian's family already knew of Xiaoshi's existence and even wanted to meet him.

But until now, there hadn't been an opportunity.

Mentioning Xiaoshi, Jiang Motian put away some of her ease and replied: "He... is a bit shy."

"It's just a meal and some chatting."

"I said that too, but..."

Jiang Motian's face showed helplessness, and she didn't continue.

After hearing this, Jiang Baobao couldn't help but mutter: "This child, how is he different from how you described him before?"

"He is indeed different, but after so many years, it's normal for his personality to change."

Although Jiang Motian said this, a flash of loneliness still crossed her eyes.

It was clear that she was also feeling regretful over certain changes.

But Jiang Motian did not force it and decided...

To let everything take its natural course.

Outside a building in the suburbs, a group of people arrived.

This building was in disrepair, and the surroundings were covered in weeds.

People in suits and leather shoes walking through it felt somewhat out of place.

Xie Wanyi walked at the very front of these people, holding a blueprint in his hand.

A person who looked like an engineer was introducing something to him from the side.

Xie Wanyi nodded from time to time and then looked down at the blueprint.

Finally, the engineer stated a conclusion: "As long as the funds are in place, we can start construction at any time."

"Funds are not an issue. I need to shorten the construction time and get the factory into use as soon as possible."

"This... how much do you want to shorten the construction period by?"

"By half."
