Chapter 1849: Disliked by the Girlfriend

"Since that's the case, then let's negotiate with Li Shu!"

Jiang Motian found her direction and felt full of energy.

She couldn't wait to go find that old fox right now!

However...

That old fox...

Jiang Motian thought of something and slowly calmed down.

Then she said, "Li Shu has a cunning personality. If we let him know we're asking him for something... I'm afraid he'll push his luck."

Jiang Motian's concerns were very reasonable.

That Li Shu was very skilled at negotiating with people.

If they negotiated with him according to normal procedures, Jiang Motian and the others would likely be at a disadvantage.

Because Liu Xin'ai was not familiar with Li Shu, she said, "It's a negotiation after all; if we promise him a few more benefits, it should work."

"I'm just afraid that after taking the benefits, he won't do the work and will instead blackmail us."

Jiang Motian's words made Liu Xin'ai look at her, and then at Jiang Baobao.

Jiang Baobao nodded at her, signaling that this was indeed something that old fox was capable of doing.

For a moment, the three of them fell into silence.

Jiang Motian, however, quickly thought of an idea.

And this idea was simple, crude, and effective!

Jiang Motian raised her head and said excitedly, "We won't play those roundabout games with him. As long as he dares not to give it, we won't give him food! Let's see if his mouth is tougher or his bones are!"

As soon as Jiang Motian finished speaking, she felt her head get poked by someone.

Then came Jiang Baobao's helpless voice: "You're a young lady, why are you so irritable!"

Jiang Motian didn't want to be irritable either.

But...

"That Li Shu has no integrity; for him, we can only use some underhanded methods!"

"Since you also know it's underhanded, then don't say it. Leave the matter to me; I will go talk to him, and he will exchange information."

Exchange... information?

Jiang Motian caught the key term, was dazed for a moment, and then asked excitedly, "You have leverage in your hands?"

"Yes, but the firepower of this leverage is quite strong; Lao Li... will likely not be able to withstand it."

Oh my god, news that even the old fox couldn't withstand?

That must be so exciting!

Jiang Motian was extremely curious. She hooked her arm into Jiang Baobao's and discussed with her, "Mom, please reveal a little bit first."

Jiang Baobao did not let her off the hook.

She poked Jiang Motian's forehead again and then said, "It's an old story from the past; you're just a child, don't go prying around."

"So what if it's an old story? I'm not afraid, just tell me!"

"No." Jiang Baobao's attitude was firm.

Seeing that she couldn't persuade her mother, Jiang Motian looked at Liu Xin'ai and begged, "Auntie Xin'ai, you ask her!"

Liu Xin'ai was amused by the way this mother and daughter interacted.

She said bluntly while laughing, "I'm not curious."

"Ah, how can you not be curious?"

"I haven't even met that Li Shu, so naturally I'm not interested in him. I'd rather get that data in my hands sooner."

"But if we know the leverage Mom has, we can cooperate with her better and get the data sooner!"

As she spoke, Jiang Motian even winked at Liu Xin'ai seductively.

That little bit of intention to sway someone's heart was all written on her face.

Seeing this, Liu Xin'ai held back her laughter and feigned realization, saying, "Is that so..."

"Yes, yes!"

Jiang Motian nodded incessantly and looked at Liu Xin'ai with encouraging eyes, hoping she would join her on the same front.

But the reality was...

"Once you ask for the result, just let me know, and I will definitely cooperate."

After saying this, Liu Xin'ai rubbed Jiang Motian's head and prepared to leave.

Jiang Motian was completely stunned.

Then, half a beat late, she called out behind Liu Xin'ai, "Where are you going?"

This time, Jiang Baobao gave the answer for Liu Xin'ai: "Of course, to work. Alright, stop pestering Auntie Xin'ai, and take me to see Xie Wanyi first."

"But Wanyi is asleep."

"Then I'll just leave the flowers by his side, and you can tell Wanyi later."

Jiang Motian couldn't win against Jiang Baobao, so she had to take her mother to Xie Wanyi's hospital room first.

But what Jiang Motian didn't expect was that as soon as she pushed the door open and entered, she found that Xie Wanyi had already woken up.

Jiang Motian walked quickly to Xie Wanyi's side and asked with concern, "Does your head still hurt?"

Because he had just woken up, Xie Wanyi's eyes were dazed.

Hearing Jiang Motian's words, he answered very obediently, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

"Then why didn't you sleep a little longer?"

"I don't know why, I just woke up naturally."

As he spoke, Xie Wanyi's brain resumed functioning.

Out of the corner of his eye, he also noticed Jiang Baobao.

Since he had seen an elder, he had to act like he was seeing an elder.

Xie Wanyi wanted to sit up, and at the same time, he called out, "Auntie."

Jiang Baobao hurriedly stopped him, saying, "You are still ill, hurry and lie down properly."

"Actually, apart from the occasional headache, it is no longer an issue."

Xie Wanyi responded politely to Jiang Baobao, his tone of voice very calm.

But after hearing this, Jiang Motian unconsciously clenched her palm.

Jiang Baobao then carefully examined Xie Wanyi and said, "Your complexion is not bad."

"Yes, thanks to the care of Auntie Xin'ai."

Mentioning Liu Xin'ai, Jiang Baobao could not help but say a few more words: "Your Auntie Xin'ai is truly very concerned about you; she has been running around busy for your sake."

Xie Wanyi was already grateful for Liu Xin'ai's dedication.

After hearing these words, he told himself silently even more that he must repay her well in the future...

Jiang Baobao gave a few more instructions, then left first.

Yet during the process of her chatting with Xie Wanyi, Jiang Motian had not said a single word.

She just stood there quietly, her eyes lowered, blinking from time to time.

Xie Wanyi saw all of Jiang Motian's behavior in his eyes.

Since her mother was leaving, Jiang Motian naturally had to see her off.

After seeing Jiang Baobao to the entrance of the Hospital, Jiang Motian returned the way she came and went back to Xie Wanyi's ward.

The moment she pushed open the ward door, the sunlight in the room dazzled Jiang Motian's eyes.

She adjusted for a moment before seeing that the person in the ward had already sat up.

He even patted the spot beside him and said, "Come over and sit."

Jiang Motian walked over quietly and sat down.

Xie Wanyi then touched her hand.

This little hand had been clenching tightly from time to time while Xie Wanyi was chatting with Jiang Baobao.

At this moment, it was finally relaxed.

Xie Wanyi interlaced his fingers with hers and then asked, "Auntie came, so why are you acting like you're not in the right state of mind?"

"Do I?"

Xie Wanyi nodded very seriously.

Jiang Motian pursed her lips and replied, "It's mainly because I was afraid you wouldn't perform well in front of my mother."

"Is that so? Then how was my performance?"

"It was okay."

When Jiang Motian spoke, she was distracted.

The content of her answers was also perfunctory.

It was very obvious that this woman had something on her mind.

Xie Wanyi stared carefully at Jiang Motian's profile.

After a while, he sighed softly, then lowered his eyes in disappointment and said, "It seems you dislike me."

Jiang Motian was stunned by what she heard.

She even widened her eyes and asked in confusion, "How do you figure that?"

"Because you have something on your mind, yet you won't share it with me."

This...
