Chapter 1873: How Did This Person Get So Thick-Skinned?

~7 min read 1,265 words

This answer... was not quite what Jiang Motian had expected.

She had thought Xie Wanyi wanted to smooth things over.

Also, who was this person who had taken the first step?

Jiang Motian asked the question in her heart with a curious look on her face.

Xie Wanyi gave a name quite straightforwardly: "Ling Yu."

Based on Xie Wanyi's understanding of Ling Yu, this guy must have already spread the dirt he found.

And the dirt Ling Yu found would definitely be spot-on.

Some people were in for it!

Jiang Motian did not quite understand the modus operandi behind Ling Yu.

She only felt that this guy, who was always laughing and joking and trying to flirt with girls... was a bit unreliable.

Jiang Motian did not want to pin all her hopes on him, so she said, "He can find his, I'll find mine. Let's all do it together; the more, the better!"

"Still 'the more, the better'... then these people won't have a way out."

"So what if they don't have a way out? That's what they deserve!"

"However, I hope you can be a little calmer for my sake."

Jiang Motian sensed the seriousness in Xie Wanyi's words.

This made Jiang Motian look up, looking over in confusion.

Then she heard Xie Wanyi say, "The deterrent effect that needed to be achieved has already been achieved, so don't waste any more time."

"But today was supposed to be a very happy day, just because of those people..."

Xie Wanyi interrupted Jiang Motian, speaking his true feelings: "I am still very happy, and I haven't been affected too much by them. Also, I don't want to make Mom and Dad worry."

"Worry? Isn't it satisfying that those who harm others get the punishment they deserve? How could they worry?"

"That still requires knowing when to stop; if it's excessive, they will worry."

Jiang Motian... did not quite understand.

Based on her understanding of Liu Xin'ai and her husband, even if she took further disciplinary action, they wouldn't worry to that extent.

So, was Xie Wanyi's concern an over-interpretation?

Jiang Motian's large eyes were filled with confusion.

Xie Wanyi raised his hand and patted Jiang Motian's head.

Then he explained specifically: "They aren't very clear about my capabilities; doing too much easily makes them overthink."

This time, Jiang Motian suddenly realized.

Then she hurriedly said, "I can explain that I did it!"

"If that happens, when will this unpleasant matter ever be completely turned over?"

As he spoke, Xie Wanyi held Jiang Motian's hand and comforted her: "How precious is time spent in happiness; don't waste time on trash."

"Then... I also don't want you to be wronged for nothing."

"How could I be wronged? Isn't there Ling Yu? You can check now; perhaps Ling Yu's actions have already had an effect."

Jiang Motian felt it was unlikely, but she still curiously used her phone to check.

And upon looking...

Jiang Motian slowly widened her eyes.

Afterwards, she searched the whole venue for Ling Yu's figure.

After finding him, she looked at her phone again.

This uncertain and surprised little look was actually quite cute.

Xie Wanyi smiled and reached out, wanting to touch Jiang Motian's face.

But Jiang Motian dodged again, then asked with a serious face: "Did that slacker really do all this?"

Xie Wanyi also looked at the phone, then said: "It's his style."

Truly, unbelievable!

Xie Wanyi saw Jiang Motian's shock, so he put in a few words for Ling Yu: "Being a slacker is just his protective color; in reality, he is very capable, otherwise how could he be my partner."

Jiang Motian slowly digested the feeling of shock.

By the way, she said: "Feels like you also praised yourself a bit."

"I am stating facts, not bragging."

"Mm, you are the most excellent, and also the kindest."

Excellent, Xie Wanyi admitted.

But kind...

There really aren't many people who use those two words to evaluate Xie Wanyi.

But in the future, he could indeed do more kind deeds.

It could be considered a return for the world treating him kindly.

Xie Wanyi gently hugged Jiang Motian.

Jiang Motian followed the momentum and leaned into Xie Wanyi's embrace.

But suddenly, she gently pushed Xie Wanyi away and stared around, looking.

Xie Wanyi felt her behavior was a bit strange, so he asked: "What's wrong?"

"I feel... like someone is watching me."

"Isn't it normal for them to watch you? The pose we were just hugging in must have been very beautiful."

Jiang Motian was shocked by his words: "Since when did you become so full of yourself?"

"Isn't what I said the truth?"

"No!"

"Could it be that our hugging posture wasn't beautiful enough?"

"Alright, I'm ignoring you!"

Jiang Motian really couldn't stand this guy, so she turned her head to keep a distance from him.

Xie Wanyi watched Jiang Motian's back with a smile.

Afterwards, he turned his head to the side and glanced unintentionally toward a certain corner.

With everyone's efforts, Xie Wanyi's new company was soon registered and officially opened for business.

This time, Xie Wanyi was much more low-key.

He didn't hold any opening ceremony; he just had a simple internal celebration and then began taking on business.

Because of Xiaolin and Ling Yu, there was no need to worry about the company's business at all.

As for the overall planning and development direction, Xie Wanyi was the one to oversee it.

Xie Wanyi hadn't worked seriously for a while.

Suddenly returning to a busy state was actually quite... satisfying.

Jiang Motian understood Xie Wanyi very well.

She knew that once this guy got busy, he wouldn't even eat properly.

But he had just recovered his health, so he had to eat well and could not be overworked.

And simple reminders were useless.

Jiang Motian decided... to come to the company from time to time and watch him personally.

This day, Jiang Motian brought lunch and hurried to the company.

She knocked on the office door and then walked in with a smile.

But as soon as she entered...

"Huh, Brother, why are you here too?"

At this moment, Li Xingyan was sitting face-to-face with Xie Wanyi.

Hearing Jiang Motian's words, he said indifferently, "Discussing business."

"Oh."

Jiang Motian responded, then focused her attention on Xie Wanyi and said, "Wanyi, you must be hungry, eat lunch first before continuing to talk."

"Mm, what good food is there today?"

"Poached shrimp, stir-fried snow peas, pan-fried tofu, and a bowl of pearl and jade soup!"

As Jiang Motian spoke, she opened the lunch boxes one layer at a time.

Although these dishes were light, they looked very tempting.

And that fragrance...

It was enough to make one's mouth water!

Jiang Motian asked Xie Wanyi with a smile, "Do you like these dishes?"

"I like them very much."

Xie Wanyi really liked them; he even picked up his chopsticks.

But someone cleared his throat at this moment.

It was this sound that made Jiang Motian realize there was still someone else here!

Jiang Motian checked the time and then urged Li Xingyan, "Brother, it's noon, you should go eat too."

Li Xingyan didn't move, nor did he speak.

He just stared at Jiang Motian.

Jiang Motian couldn't quite figure out what her brother meant.

She could only try to make an inference from her brother's behavior: "Could it be that you have no appetite... and don't want to eat?"

"No, I also want to eat something light."

Upon hearing this, Xie Wanyi felt a sense of crisis.
