Chapter 1857: An Unoriginal Excuse

Jiang Motian's words startled Wei Yangyang a little.

She hurriedly reached out to stop her: "No, you two don't need to get involved in this; I can solve it myself!"

"How can you solve it?"

Hmm...

Wei Yangyang thought for a moment and said slowly: "He wants me to meet his parents with him, right? Then I'll deliberately act rude so he gives up on his own."

"This..."

"Don't worry, it will definitely work. As long as I'm sloppy and behave improperly, it will definitely make him keep his distance from me!"

Although Wei Yangyang spoke with great certainty, Jiang Motian pursed her lips, touched her chin with her fingers, and looked skeptical.

"Oh, just let me try! If it doesn't work, you two can step in then!"

"This... alright then."

In the end, Jiang Motian agreed.

However, she added: "You could also add some heavy ingredients—do things he finds repulsive but that don't violate your own principles."

After saying that, Jiang Motian asked again: "Do you have any ideas in mind?"

"I don't know, but his preferences are a bit like your brother's. You can just use your brother as a reference."

If that's the case...

Then Jiang Motian had plenty of suggestions!

But just as Jiang Motian was about to open her mouth...

"What about using me as a reference?"

The moment she heard this voice, Wei Yangyang's body stiffened.

She sat there, motionless, wishing so hard that she could become invisible by doing so!

But that was just wishful thinking.

As soon as Li Xingyan entered, his gaze landed on Wei Yangyang, and he narrowed his eyes.

Jiang Motian was also taken aback, not expecting her brother to appear at this moment.

Afterwards, she hurriedly smiled and stood up to help smooth things over: "We were just chatting casually, and happened to use you as a reference to pay you a compliment."

Li Xingyan sneered: "Judging by her expression, it didn't look like she was complimenting me."

"Yangyang has always been expressive, you know."

Li Xingyan was not fooled by Jiang Motian's words.

He looked at Wei Yangyang and demanded: "Then say it again."

Wei Yangyang's lips moved, and then she said in a muffled voice: "I'm not a tape recorder; I don't have to say it just because you tell me to."

Although Wei Yangyang's voice was relatively quiet.

Her words were heard clearly by everyone in the room!

Jiang Motian was shocked.

The next second, her face showed gratification.

She thought that Wei Yangyang had finally shown some backbone for once!

Li Xingyan's feeling, however, was not so good.

"You..."

"Oh, Brother, Yangyang is in a bad mood, so her tone is inevitably a bit sharp. Please don't mind it."

To prevent Li Xingyan from blaming Wei Yangyang, Jiang Motian spoke up first.

Li Xingyan was quiet for a while, then retorted: "And what if I do mind?"

Hmm...

Just as Jiang Motian was racking her brains on how to coax her brother, Wei Yangyang spoke bluntly: "You guys talk about your business; I'm leaving first."

After saying that, Wei Yangyang didn't care about Li Xingyan's reaction and walked away.

Jiang Motian felt gratified once again!

But she didn't dare to show it in front of her brother, so she could only say in a worried tone: "It's abnormal, she's really too abnormal today! Brother, I'll go check on her!"

As she spoke, Jiang Motian followed in Wei Yangyang's footsteps and left the hospital room.

These two, one after the other, just walked away in front of Li Xingyan...

Even with Li Xingyan's good composure, he was starting to lose face.

And the only one left behind was still snickering!

Li Xingyan shot a glare at him and questioned: "What are you laughing at?"

Xie Wanyi was not afraid of Li Xingyan's glare.

He remained securely propped up against the head of the bed and remarked: "Truly, wherever there is oppression, there is resistance."

"When have I ever oppressed Wei Yangyang?"

"Just now, didn't you interrogate her?"

"I just wanted to clarify what she said about me!"

Li Xingyan paused for a moment and asked somewhat awkwardly: "So, what did she say about me?"

"I didn't quite catch it."

This perfunctory answer made Li Xingyan narrow his eyes.

Xie Wanyi said helplessly: "Look at me, I didn't understand it either."

"Hmph, aren't you undergoing treatment for your brain recently? How have you become even dumber instead!"

"What, are you questioning Aunt Xin'ai?"

"I am questioning whether you did it on purpose!"

Xie Wanyi smiled after hearing this, but did not deny it.

It was very obvious that he was playing tai chi with Li Xingyan.

Since that was the case, Li Xingyan did not entangle himself with him, but instead threw a document he had brought over onto Xie Wanyi's lap.

Xie Wanyi picked it up casually and flipped through it.

Recently, Ling Yu and Xiaolin had been taking some of the brothers from the company to run a new company.

For ordinary matters, the two of them could handle it.

As for important matters...

Up until now, there hadn't been any important matters.

But at this very moment, there was one.

After looking through the data, Xie Wanyi raised his eyes and asked Li Xingyan: "You want to inject capital?"

"Yes, but the capital injection is secondary; the main thing is to let the outside world see our intention to cooperate. In this way, the path of development for your company will be much easier to walk."

What Li Xingyan said was correct.

However, Xie Wanyi did not agree directly, but instead asked with a smile: "You think that highly of me?"

"I am also helping Tiantian. If you cannot accumulate some wealth, how can you guarantee that Tiantian will continue to live a carefree life?"

Xie Wanyi listened to Li Xingyan's words, and then raised an eyebrow: "This reason of yours..."

"What about it?"

"I've heard it until I'm sick of it; can you change to another one?"

After Xie Wanyi finished speaking, he prepared himself for Li Xingyan to glare at him.

But the result...

He did not.

Instead, Li Xingyan thought about it seriously, and then truly changed to another reason: "I want to provide help in a time of need."

Xie Wanyi laughed upon hearing this, and then said: "What a noble virtue, but I refuse to cooperate with you."

Li Xingyan was not a patient person.

Xie Wanyi had repeatedly caused trouble, making him want to lose his temper.

However, Xie Wanyi spoke up in advance, giving his own reason for refusal: "I don't need other people's charity; I will use my own strength to give Tiantian happiness."

Li Xingyan chuckled: "After experiencing so much, how are you still so naive? I don't believe you don't know how much effort the Li Family's help could save you!"

"I know, but I still refuse."

After speaking, Xie Wanyi even shifted his body downward and said: "I'm tired and preparing to rest."

Xie Wanyi was chasing someone away.

This attitude of his made Li Xingyan very angry.

But once he thought about how work wouldn't wait for anyone...

He had no choice but to change his tone impatiently: "Fine, fine, I appreciate you and think you have great potential!"

Xie Wanyi curved his eyes and remarked: "It really isn't easy to hear a word of praise from you."

"You are hypocritical enough, going in such a circle just to hear a nice word like this!"

"It was a bit of a circle, but it was very meaningful."

"What meaning does it have?"

"The meaning is... I won the battle against you!"

Li Xingyan muttered "boring," and then urged: "Sign it quickly!"

This time, Xie Wanyi did not dawdle and signed his name very decisively.

At the same time, on the other side, Jiang Motian was walking arm-in-arm with Wei Yangyang to buy teppanyaki squid.

Li Beijue's expression darkened instantly; he stared coldly at Jiang Baobao, his voice sounding as if it were being squeezed through his teeth: "Say that again?"
