Chapter 1875: If You Have Something to Say, Say It Properly

~7 min read 1,319 words

Li Xingyan is indeed himself.

He opened his mouth and poured a bucket of cold water.

Jiang Motian felt he was such a buzzkill, frowned, and retorted: "Yangyang is very talented, and she is currently developing in the direction of a strong career woman. Who knows, maybe one day, she will take over the company!"

After saying this, Jiang Motian felt her assumption was very reasonable.

After all, the company where Wei Yangyang works belongs to the Wei Family, and sooner or later, it will be handed over to Wei Yangyang.

However, Li Xingyan had a different thought: "If I were Wei Yangyang's family, I would find a reliable manager and set up a trust fund."

"Then what about Yangyang?"

"She should just be her designer; she is more suited for that."

Li Xingyan's words made Jiang Motian gradually purse her lips.

Finally, she said indignantly: "At the end of the day, you just look down on her and think she's not good enough!"

Seeing that Jiang Motian was angry, Xie Wanyi advised: "Your brother didn't mean that; he wants to respect Wei Yangyang's interests and hobbies so that she can live happily."

"Hmph, he doesn't think like that at all!"

"That's right, I really don't think like that. I just think Wei Yangyang doesn't have the ability to manage a company. Entrusting the future of so many people to her is like a joke."

Xie Wanyi was trying hard to put out the fire here.

But neither of the siblings wanted to show weakness, nor did they want to admit the other's point of view, and they kept clashing.

This gave Xie Wanyi a bit of a headache.

Wait a minute, a headache?

Xie Wanyi thought of something, then raised his hand to rub his temples.

Jiang Motian originally wanted to continue countering her brother.

But she noticed Xie Wanyi's small movement and hurriedly asked: "What's wrong, is your head hurting again?"

"It's not exactly pain, just a bit of pressure in my temples; it might be because I'm anxious."

"Hey, why are you anxious? Relax."

"But... I don't want you two to argue."

"Fine, fine, fine, we'll stop arguing."

Jiang Motian really stopped arguing.

But the necessary conclusion still had to be made: "Anyway, it's enough that I approve of Yangyang!"

Li Xingyan's mood, however, had been very stable the whole time.

He listened to Jiang Motian's words and asked very calmly: "You value this friend, Wei Yangyang, very much?"

"Of course!"

"Then don't give her bad advice; think clearly about what is truly good for her."

This guy...

Jiang Motian really had a stomach full of words to counter her brother.

But out of consideration for Xie Wanyi's feelings, she could only endure it.

Li Xingyan, for his part, didn't talk about this topic anymore.

He just ate his food quietly.

These meals seemed to be very much to his taste; in the end, he actually finished his entire portion.

But Jiang Motian didn't eat much.

She was first worried about Xie Wanyi, and then the more she thought about it, the angrier she got, and she couldn't eat anything.

When she saw that everything in front of Li Xingyan had been eaten, she felt even more stifled.

Li Xingyan wiped the corners of his mouth with a paper napkin and then said sincerely: "Thank you for ordering the meal; I liked it very much."

Jiang Motian said unpleasantly: "I can tell!"

"Then you two eat slowly."

After saying this, Li Xingyan stood up and left the office.

Once he was gone, Jiang Motian immediately put down her chopsticks.

Then she began to vent: "How could he belittle Yangyang as worthless? And then act like nothing happened and eat so happily!?"

"Alright, he's gone; he can't hear us talking."

"What does that have to do with him hearing us?"

"Weren't we just singing the same tune to test your brother's reaction?"

This...

Jiang Motian did have the intention to test him at the beginning.

It was just that as they talked, Jiang Motian really got angry.

At this moment, facing Xie Wanyi's gaze, Jiang Motian said guiltily: "I... also wanted to complain about my brother."

"Isn't his style always like this? Complaining is just a waste of time."

"Yeah, that's true."

"However, the final effect was quite good; it's clear that your brother cares about Wei Yangyang."

Jiang Motian really couldn't agree with this statement.

She widened her eyes and reminded Xie Wanyi: "How is that caring? He clearly kept belittling Yangyang! Looking down on her abilities!"

Compared to Jiang Motian's righteous indignation, Xie Wanyi was much calmer.

He even guided Jiang Motian: "To be honest, Wei Yangyang has a talent for design, but in terms of managing a company, what ability does she have?"

At this moment, Jiang Motian's emotions were a bit sensitive.

Upon hearing Xie Wanyi's words, she widened her eyes and retorted, "How can even you look down on Yangyang?"

"This isn't looking down on her, but analyzing it from the perspective of a bystander. Don't be in such a rush to answer for Wei Yangyang; think about it first: does Wei Yangyang actually like doing management work?"

"Whether she likes it or not... that can also be cultivated later on."

"Speaking of cultivating it later, if I were to cultivate you now and have you manage your family's company, would you be willing?"

Jiang Motian didn't even think about it and immediately shook her head.

Xie Wanyi shrugged and drew a conclusion: "By the same logic, Wei Yangyang might not necessarily like it either."

Jiang Motian felt a bit flustered inside.

But she still felt that Xie Wanyi's deduction didn't make much sense.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Motian found a point to refute: "She is different from me; she has no siblings and is destined to take over the company in the future."

"Not necessarily."

"Not necessarily?"

"Mm, didn't Li Xingyan just offer a possibility earlier?"

Jiang Motian had been in the heat of the moment just now and hadn't carefully considered the proposal Li Xingyan had given.

Now that she thought about it...

Perhaps, possibly, it could also be a way out?

Seeing that Jiang Motian had calmed down a bit, Xie Wanyi spoke again: "The proposal Li Xingyan gave wasn't to belittle Wei Yangyang, but to think about her future from the perspective of her actual situation."

Jiang Motian still felt that Xie Wanyi's analysis didn't make much sense.

But this time, Jiang Motian couldn't find a reason to refute it.

Moreover, her rationality was also leaning toward this answer bit by bit...

At this moment, Xie Wanyi spoke again: "Your brother doesn't like to meddle in other people's business, yet he is willing to plan the future for Wei Yangyang, which means..."

Xie Wanyi didn't continue, instead giving Jiang Motian room to think.

Jiang Motian fell silent, and the silence lasted for quite a while.

Xie Wanyi waited quietly.

Until Jiang Motian complained with an indignant look: "If he wants to care about someone, can't he just say it properly!"

Xie Wanyi knew that Jiang Motian had finally figured it out.

He chuckled softly and then replied: "Is your brother the type to speak properly?"

That's right, being stubborn is Li Xingyan's consistent trait.

But sooner or later, he will hit a wall because of it!

Jiang Motian muttered to herself, then asked: "From this, can we conclude that my brother is interested in Yangyang?"

"Mm."

Li Xingyan's behavior was truly very subtle.

But this kind of reserved style was exactly Li Xingyan's characteristic.

It would be abnormal if he were to act very passionately.

Before this, Xie Wanyi and Jiang Motian were still waiting for Li Xingyan to take the initiative to create opportunities to meet with Wei Yangyang.

Li Beijue's expression turned extremely grim in an instant; he stood up abruptly and strode out.
