Chapter 2041: She is clearly just running away

From Jiang Motian's observations, Li Xingyan's mood was very stable.

There was no panic, no irritability, and no coldness.

So...

Jiang Motian asked tentatively, "You've met with Yangyang, right? How did your talk go?"

"I didn't see her. I went to find Yangyang, but she suddenly went on a business trip."

What, a business trip?

This woman, and she even said she knew how to handle it.

Is this how she handled it?

She is clearly just running away!

Jiang Motian was speechless.

And her change in mood was all seen by Li Xingyan.

Li Xingyan narrowed his eyes and asked, "What do you know?"

"Ah... I don't know anything. I only learned from you just now that Yangyang went on a business trip today."

Jiang Motian dared not let her mind wander anymore.

At this moment, she needed to concentrate and extract herself from this first.

Li Xingyan continued to ask, "Yesterday, what did you two talk about?"

"We talked about a lot, clothes, manicures, makeup..."

"And what about me?"

"We were just praising you. Yangyang said you, this boyfriend of hers, are exceptionally outstanding!"

As Jiang Motian said this, she gave Li Xingyan a sweet, obedient smile.

And from this smile, Li Xingyan could make a judgment:

This girl, not a single word is true!

Li Xingyan was already in a bad mood to begin with.

Now that Jiang Motian was trying to fool him with lies, his eyes were practically spitting fire!

And seeing him like this made Jiang Motian immediately retract her smile.

She knew her brother was very angry.

And the only way to protect herself was...

To admit defeat.

Jiang Motian sighed.

Then she said in one breath, "Fine, I lied, but the things you want to know must be told to you by Yangyang!"

"Why can't you say it?"

"Because this matter is too important; it has extraordinary significance for you and for Yangyang!"

Jiang Motian's description made Li Xingyan suddenly feel a bit... nervous.

And Jiang Motian said one more thing that made him even more nervous: "Brother, you had better prepare yourself mentally."

"... Prepare for what kind of thing?"

This question could not be answered.

Because Li Xingyan was very smart; if Jiang Motian leaked even a little bit, he would be able to guess it.

At this moment, all Jiang Motian could do was pick up her paintbrush and draw in silence.

Her behavior made Li Xingyan frown.

A low pressure that felt very oppressive radiated from his entire body.

Yet even so, Jiang Motian had no intention of opening her mouth.

And this girl's tight-lipped silence made Li Xingyan even more nervous.

At the same time—

Wei Yangyang, who was already in another city, was also not in the right state of mind.

She had originally really intended to tell Li Xingyan the truth.

But...

When she heard there was a business trip and they were temporarily short-handed, she accepted it without hesitation.

In the end, Wei Yangyang was still running away.

And running away is addictive.

Once you run away once, there will be countless times after.

Until the day the truth comes to light.

Then, what happens after the truth comes to light?

Does she want to marry Li Xingyan?

Does she want to keep this child?

Wei Yangyang did not know.

The problems remained.

Sigh!

Wei Yangyang sighed softly, and then she heard someone calling her: "Ms. Wei?"

Lifting her eyes slightly, Wei Yangyang saw a middle-aged man with a kind smile.

At this moment, Wei Yangyang was attending a dinner party.

The person dining with Wei Yangyang was the person in charge of a car show event.

He had just been introducing the local customs and practices of this city.

However, Wei Yangyang was lost in thought.

This made the person in charge smile and ask, "Is the food here not to your taste?"

"No, it's very delicious; I was just... thinking about the proposal."

"I see. Oh my, Ms. Wei's serious and responsible attitude toward work really makes one feel inferior."

The other party's praise made Wei Yangyang feel quite guilty.

She didn't dare to be lost in thought anymore, and instead proactively said, "After we finish eating, shall we go to the car show venue to take a look?"

"Sure, that is exactly what I had in mind!"

The person in charge took the opportunity to shift the topic to the car show.

And Wei Yangyang didn't let her mind wander again, chatting with him while they ate.

After the two left the restaurant, they went to the terrace venue where the car show was being held.

The event to be held this time was a comprehensive car show, and the scale was very large.

But at this moment, the event site was still empty.

There were only a few workers on-site clearing away trash.

After the person in charge had introduced everything that needed to be introduced, he rubbed his hands together, and the expression on his face suddenly became a bit awkward.

He said, "Um... our company's capital turnover has been a bit tight recently, so, could we pay sixty percent of the advance payment first?"

This proposal was very unreasonable.

Wei Yangyang immediately refused: "No, according to the rules, the advance payment cannot be lower than eighty percent of the total amount."

"Normally speaking, it should be eighty percent, but our company really has difficulties."

"Even if you have difficulties, you shouldn't shift the risk onto us."

"Where would there be any risk? Our company has a very good reputation and has never defaulted on final payments; you can rest assured!"

"Sorry, I cannot make this decision."

"Oh, the company belongs to your family anyway; if you soften your heart and cut us some slack, it'll be done! We've been chatting so congenially, just do me a favor!"

The person in charge brazenly put forward an unreasonable request.

And Wei Yangyang also saw it clearly: the other party just thought she was young, thin-skinned, and easy to talk to, which was why he was pestering her.

But Wei Yangyang would not let him have his way!

Wei Yangyang slightly raised her chin and asked, "Do you think I would abuse my authority for your sake?"

The person in charge really wanted to give an affirmative answer.

After all, this little girl looked like she was soft-hearted.

But Wei Yangyang's sharp gaze made him swallow his saliva involuntarily.

The person in charge thought to himself that she certainly put on a very intimidating front.

But it must be said, it was very effective.

The person in charge changed his tune directly: "How about this, let's each take a step back: seventy percent."

"Eighty percent is the minimum. If you cannot agree, then please look for someone else."

Wei Yangyang did not budge an inch, and after finishing her sentence, she turned and walked away.

She had confidence in the company's comprehensive competitiveness.

She also believed that the person behind her would definitely call out to keep her once he saw her just walk away like that.

However...

No one behind her called out to keep Wei Yangyang.

Wei Yangyang frowned, but in the next second, she quickened her pace.

This time, the person behind her reacted.

The person in charge was shouting wildly: "Ms. Wei!?"

His shouting voice was filled with panic.

Wei Yangyang felt it was strange, so she stopped her steps and turned around.

However, the moment she turned around, Wei Yangyang discovered that a handcart full of trash was accelerating down from the top of the slope toward her side!

And Wei Yangyang was currently standing at the bottom of the slope!

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Wei Yangyang subconsciously wanted to run.

But at the critical moment, her high heel actually got stuck!

Damn it!!

Wei Yangyang wanted to pull out her high heel.

But the speed of the handcart suddenly increased!

Wei Yangyang was now in a position where it was too late to escape!

Her heart was filled with panic at this moment.

She could only rely on instinct, close her eyes, bend down, and protect her stomach first!
