Chapter 1951: Not Wanting to Pester

Jiang Motian thought of something and muttered to herself: "No, you haven't even courted her! Brother, have you ever said to Yangyang, 'Let's date,' or anything like that?"

That was naturally... something he had never said!

Li Xingyan turned his head away awkwardly, offering no response.

And Jiang Motian also got her answer from her brother's reaction.

This left Jiang Motian feeling helpless, and she opened her mouth to say something more.

But Li Xingyan spoke first: "Wei Yangyang's meaning is already very clear, and I'm not capable of pestering someone, so... forget it."

The moment those last two words were spoken, it seemed to drain Li Xingyan of all his strength.

It also caused his entire person to lose its luster in an instant.

Seeing this, Jiang Motian sighed softly and did not continue to persuade him.

She left Li Xingyan's bedroom.

And Li Xingyan did not continue looking at his documents.

Instead, he sat there quietly for a very, very long time.

Inside the Meishuguan, an art exhibition was currently being held.

As one of the participating painters, Jiang Motian was invited to attend the event and give interviews.

According to Jiang Motian's estimation, the event would not take too long.

At most, no more than an hour.

So she had made plans with Wei Yangyang to go shopping and watch a movie together once the event ended.

But after the event started...

Jiang Motian was dumbfounded!

The interview she was doing today was a joint interview, with several painters sitting together, speaking freely.

The atmosphere of such an interview was very relaxed.

But the time was very hard to control.

And sure enough, the time Jiang Motian had agreed upon with Wei Yangyang had already arrived, but the interview showed no signs of ending.

Having no other choice, Jiang Motian took out her phone and sent a message to Wei Yangyang: The plan has changed, reply when you receive this.

After the message was sent, there was no response for a long time.

This made Jiang Motian a little anxious.

She didn't know if Wei Yangyang had arrived yet or if she was still on the way.

Rolling her eyes, Jiang Motian said to the interview host: "Sorry, I... need to step away for a moment."

The host also felt the interview had been going on for a bit too long, so they said: "Let's all take a break, we'll continue in ten minutes."

No one had any objections.

Jiang Motian took advantage of this break to go to the exhibition hall downstairs to find Wei Yangyang.

Also in the first-floor exhibition hall were several people dressed in plain clothes.

They were completely out of place with the surrounding environment.

Their eyes were filled with unease.

Among them, the young man wearing glasses clearly could not keep his composure.

He asked the middle-aged man beside him: "Uncle, will this method really work?"

The middle-aged man darkened his gaze and muttered: "It has to work even if it doesn't!"

"But... I'm a little scared."

"Scared of what! We are just here to take back what belongs to us!"

"What if, what if..."

"There are no 'what ifs'! Have you forgotten what I told you all before we came?!"

The young man lowered his head and muttered: "I remember."

"Then straighten your back for me! What we are doing is not wrong, there is no need to feel sorry for anyone!"

The middle-aged man's words were very effective.

The young man lifted his chin, and his gaze became resolute once again.

However...

"Oh, Jiang Motian is coming down!"

Hearing this, the few plain-looking men immediately turned around.

The middle-aged man was actually very nervous too.

But he did not show it.

After taking a deep breath, he said to the young man beside him: "Xiao Wang, you act according to the situation; we'll wait for you in the car!"

"Understood!"

The middle-aged man led the others away.

And Xiao Wang quietly turned his head back to look at Jiang Motian's retreating figure.

These few people were the very villagers who had protested in front of the Li Corporation before.

The villagers had truly been wronged.

But the Li Family had done nothing wrong either.

To summarize, the villagers had encountered scammers who used yin-yang contracts to trick them into signing away their land.

And the procedures for the Li Corporation to acquire the land from the sellers were complete, and the process was reasonable.

Therefore, they did not need to compensate the villagers.

If the villagers wanted to get back what belonged to them, they could only sue the swindlers.

This solution was fair and reasonable.

But the swindlers who had deceived them had long since run away, and even if they reported it to the police, they wouldn't be caught in a moment.

And the villagers' lives had to go on.

In order to return to normal life, they hoped the Li Corporation would show some kindness and return the land to them first.

Once they caught the swindlers and got back the money, they would return it to the Li Family.

The villagers felt this logic was flawless.

But it would be strange if the Li Family agreed!

The value of that land had long since multiplied who knows how many times.

Furthermore, the Li Corporation was planning to build a factory there.

A significant amount of capital had already been invested in the initial stages.

How could they possibly hand over the land just because the villagers were playing the victim?

Therefore, the Li Corporation refused.

The villagers were also at their wit's end.

In their desperation, they actually came up with a crooked idea.

Kidnapping the Li Family's daughter was the final decision they made!

Compared to the second daughter who was still in school, the Li Family's eldest daughter was easier to target.

And look, right now was an excellent opportunity!

Xiao Wang watched that disappearing figure, narrowed his eyes slightly, and then stepped forward to follow!

At the same time, Wei Yangyang was standing in front of a painting, admiring it carefully.

Suddenly, she felt someone tap her on the shoulder.

Wei Yangyang turned her head.

Then she saw Jiang Motian with a smile on her face.

Jiang Motian asked, "Why didn't you reply when I messaged you?"

"Ah, you sent a message?"

Wei Yangyang took out her phone to check, then apologized, "My phone ran out of battery."

"You, you really make people worry."

Jiang Motian sighed helplessly, then said, "I don't know how much longer I'll have to wait here; if you're tired, go to the lounge on the second floor."

"No need, I'm not tired."

As Wei Yangyang spoke, she moved her feet, preparing to look at the next painting.

As it happened, her legs went weak, and her body swayed.

Jiang Motian hurriedly steadied her and said with concern, "Look at you, still acting tough, when your body clearly hasn't fully recovered yet."

Wei Yangyang hurriedly explained, "I just didn't stand steadily just now, it has nothing to do with my health, really."

Jiang Motian did not believe Wei Yangyang's explanation.

At this moment, she even regretted asking Wei Yangyang to come out.

If her injury were to become serious...

Then Jiang Motian would die of self-reproach.

Wei Yangyang could tell what she was thinking from Jiang Motian's face.

Immediately, she said somewhat helplessly, "I'm really fine, otherwise let's go for a physical check-up in a while."

"No physical check-up needed, you go to the lounge and rest for a while."

"But..."

"Hey, just do it for my sake, okay? Be good, be good!"

Jiang Motian seemed to be coaxing a child.

Wei Yangyang really couldn't withstand such persistent pestering, and in the end, she had to agree.

"That's a good girl!"

Jiang Motian patted Wei Yangyang's head, her face still smiling.

However, Jiang Motian's smile did not last long.

She looked Wei Yangyang up and down, then her expression turned serious: "The temperature dropped today, why are you wearing so little?"
