Chapter 1987: Keeping Quiet While Doing Big Things

~7 min read 1,353 words

Jiang Motian's sentiment made Wei Yangyang feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Li Xingyan, however, was calm and said, "This is trust in one another."

"Hey, fine, fine, you two trust each other, leaving me alone to fret and pace."

As Jiang Motian said this, she crossed her arms, feeling like a poor little thing.

At this moment, Jiang Motian discovered her hand was being held by someone.

Then Jiang Motian heard Wei Yangyang say, "Don't mind it, I'll treat you to a big meal as an apology."

"Hmm... you've been quite busy lately, so let's save that big meal for when the new company reopens!"

Jiang Motian also knew Wei Yangyang was having a hard time, so she didn't add to the trouble at such a critical juncture.

But Li Xingyan took the opportunity to say, "There is no need to open a new company."

This sentence of his made both Wei Yangyang and Jiang Motian look over.

Li Xingyan knew they hadn't understood, so he continued to explain: "Some of the acquisition actions by that overseas institution were in violation of regulations; currently, the acquisition actions have been suspended, and they are conducting an internal self-investigation."

"In other words..."

"There is a very high chance that the Wei Family's assets will return to your hands."

This result made Wei Yangyang's eyes turn red instantly.

She felt as if she were in a dream!

Jiang Motian was also happy for Wei Yangyang.

And while happy, she didn't forget to praise Li Xingyan: "Brother, you really do big things in silence!"

After speaking, she nudged Wei Yangyang with her arm and asked with a wink, "Such a good person, don't you plan to offer yourself in return?"

Wei Yangyang had originally been filled with emotion.

But Jiang Motian's words turned that emotion into awkwardness.

Li Xingyan also looked displeased: "Tiantian, don't talk nonsense; I am just making amends for my past mistakes."

Wei Yangyang had already adjusted her mood.

She smiled at the siblings and then said, "It's just a joke, don't take it to heart. Actually, when Dad wakes up and hears this news, he will definitely be very happy."

"I am indeed happy."

A weak voice came from the hospital bed.

Wei Yangyang hurriedly looked over and discovered that Wei Baba had already woken up.

This made Wei Yangyang overjoyed.

She crouched beside her father and asked with concern, "Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere right now?"

"No discomfort, just a bit tired. But as soon as I heard the good news Xingyan brought, I felt like getting up to dance!"

As he spoke, Wei Baba was about to get up.

Wei Yangyang hurriedly urged, "You can't actually dance!"

Wei Baba's movements paused, and then he smiled helplessly: "I don't really want to dance; I just wanted to sit up and chat with you all."

Realizing she had misunderstood, Wei Yangyang gave a sheepish laugh.

Afterward, she reached out to help her father up.

Seeing this, Li Xingyan helped from the side.

With Li Xingyan's help, Wei Baba sat up quite easily.

Then he said, "It really is a turn for the better; Xingyan, thank you."

Li Xingyan could not accept this thanks, so he hurriedly said, "The cause of this matter lies with me; it was I who caused you and your company to suffer an unprovoked disaster."

Wei Baba waved his hand and then said, "No matter how you look at it, this cannot be blamed on you; on the contrary, I want to thank you for your facilitation."

"Facilitation?"

"Yes, through this incident, I uncovered the mole in the company and also saw my daughter's growth; for me, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages."

As Wei Baba spoke, he patted Wei Yangyang's hand with gratification.

Jiang Motian then said, "That is also because Uncle and Auntie have good character, which is why you could turn misfortune into a blessing; from now on, things will only get better and better!"

Jiang Motian's sweet mouth coaxed Wei Baba until his eyes curved into smiles.

And it was in this atmosphere that Wei Mama walked into the hospital room.

Afterward, the four of them, one after another, recounted the events that had just occurred to Wei Mama.

Because they were too noisy, it took Wei Mama some time to sort out the ins and outs of the matter.

But before she could even feel lingering fear, Wei Yangyang told her the latest situation regarding the company.

In the end, Wei Mama was completely out of the loop, dazed as she accepted the facts.

The family of three over there was chatting about their future plans.

Jiang Motian tugged on Li Xingyan's sleeve and left with him a step ahead.

When the siblings walked out of the Hospital, Jiang Motian asked a question that everyone had intentionally avoided: "How will you handle Sun Qing?"

"Yangyang said to handle it according to official procedure, so I will listen to her."

"Anything else?"

Li Xingyan heard that Jiang Motian had something more to say, so he turned his head to look at her.

Jiang Motian said very straightforwardly, "You don't need to hide it from me; this time Sun Qing was so excessive, you definitely won't let her off lightly."

"Then, after you know, will you try to persuade me?"

"Of course not, I am helping you persuade Mom and Dad. Given the relationship between Uncle Sun and Dad, Dad would definitely hope you could show mercy."

Li Xingyan narrowed his eyes and said slowly, "Showing mercy is impossible now; I will not give her a chance to recover!"

"Fine, now that I know your attitude, I can stand on the same front as you."

The support from his younger sister made Li Xingyan feel a wave of warmth.

He couldn't help but say, "Thanks for this."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Motian immediately raised her eyebrows.

"You... what is that expression?"

"I'm marveling at how accurate Wanyi's guess was!"

"What did he say again?"

"He said that someone as cold as you, once touched by love, would also be like melting ice and snow, eventually falling into the mundane."

Xie Wanyi's assessment... was actually quite accurate.

But Li Xingyan let out a soft huff: "Isn't he mundane?"

"He is mundane; we are all people of the mortal world, who can avoid being mundane?"

"But he hasn't been pestering you lately."

"Sigh, Wanyi is busy too, and besides..." Jiang Motian paused for a moment, then continued, "He is keeping an eye on Xin Ziran."

Xin Ziran?

Li Xingyan still remembered this person.

But he still didn't take it to heart, merely saying indifferently: "If you find him troublesome, just drive him away."

"It's not that simple. Wanyi says that the reason Xin Ziran came here... seems to be aimed at you."

"Me?"

Jiang Motian nodded and asked: "Did you have any entanglements with Xin Ziran in the past?"

"I did not."

"Think about it carefully again? Perhaps he was too inconspicuous, and you didn't notice him."

"If he really is that inconspicuous, then even if I try hard to recall, I won't have any impression of him. To know the answer, I still have to ask Xin Ziran."

Jiang Motian trusted Xie Wanyi very much.

If even someone with Xie Wanyi's capabilities felt that Xin Ziran was tricky, it meant this person had many methods.

Therefore, she did not believe that useful information could be easily extracted from him.

At this moment, her brother's relaxed tone forced her to remind him: "Be careful that the other party is hiding his true depth."

Li Xingyan gave a casual response.

Clearly, he no longer wanted to continue this topic.

Jiang Motian understood her brother's meaning and did not force it.

Having gone through the turmoil, Jiang Motian was a bit tired; she wanted to go home and rest.

Li Xingyan needed to go home to pick up some things, then head to the company.

So the brother and sister returned home together.

But the moment they stepped through the door, they felt that the atmosphere in the house was not quite right.
