Chapter 2248: Truly Not Knowing Life from Death

Learning the inside story at this moment, Xie Wanyi could not help but raise his eyebrows slightly: "Since it was a partnership, why did you remain anonymous?"

"I hadn't graduated yet at that time, I was young, and I was a girl. I was worried about being treated differently, so I always communicated with my partner through the internet."

Su Kexuan had tried doing business while in university.

Her first pot of gold was earned together with the person in the documents.

Su Kexuan still remembers what it felt like to earn money even now.

It is just a pity that the partners who once fought side by side are now as incompatible as fire and water.

The other party even wants to see her suffer a crushing defeat!

Xie Wanyi tapped his fingers on the tabletop unconsciously.

Then he asked: "Logically speaking, even if you had a falling out with a partner, you would just go your separate ways and never interact again. Why would they hold a grudge against you for so long, and even come here to sabotage you?"

Su Kexuan shrugged: "He is a paranoid person by nature. Perhaps after achieving success and fame, he started looking back to settle old scores, and then he settled them on me."

This hypothesis was a bit like child's play.

Xie Wanyi did not believe it.

He thought for a moment and continued to ask: "Was he furious after he discovered your true identity?"

This...

Su Kexuan rested her chin on her fingers and recalled for a moment.

Because it was something that happened too long ago, she thought for a while before answering:

"No, he accepted the fact quickly. But he started to become temperamental, and his way of doing things became increasingly overbearing. It was also at that time that I developed disagreements with him."

So, the key to the matter might not lie in their philosophies.

But rather in Su Kexuan's hidden identity?

Xie Wanyi stared at the young man in the documents and fell into silence.

"In any case, thank you for the information; otherwise, I would still be like a headless fly."

Su Kexuan's thanks pulled Xie Wanyi's focus back.

His gaze landed on Su Kexuan's smiling face.

Then he curled the corners of his mouth and said: "I did take your money, so naturally, I must handle the matter properly."

"Mm, you are indeed reliable in your work."

"Then what about you? What do you plan to do next?"

"He schemed against me first, so I certainly cannot go soft. I must give him a taste of his own medicine."

Su Kexuan poured herself a cup of tea.

Her movements were elegant.

Yet in her words, there was a hidden, decisive ruthlessness.

Xie Wanyi could tell that Su Kexuan did not intend to be soft-hearted.

This made Xie Wanyi feel a bit more at ease.

After all, being nostalgic at the wrong time can cost someone their life.

Xie Wanyi reminded Su Kexuan again: "You still need to figure out the reason why he is hostile toward you."

"Finding the reason won't change anything. This person is extremely stubborn; only by beating him until he cannot resist can this trouble be resolved."

"But... you have also seen his current background. It will be difficult to achieve what you want."

"Then I will just have to put in the effort."

Su Kexuan has never feared difficulties.

On the contrary, difficult goals only stimulate her desire to conquer.

And when trading blows with others, she never returns empty-handed.

I wonder what kind of unexpected surprise this reunion with an old "friend" will bring.

In Su Kexuan's lowered eyes, a light of anticipation flickered.

Seeing that she was confident and even eager to try, Xie Wanyi said no more.

After drinking a cup of tea, Xie Wanyi chatted casually: "I heard your house had a water leak?"

Su Kexuan's movements paused, then she sighed: "How does everyone know?"

"Tiantian told me."

When Jiang Motian learned of this news, Xie Wanyi was right by her side.

He saw the happy smile on Jiang Motian's face.

He could also understand Jiang Motian's mood.

But as the person involved, Su Kexuan's situation was a bit miserable.

Xie Wanyi said with full sympathy: "Just say the word if you need anything."

Su Kexuan really didn't need anything right now.

She said: "Mother Li is helping to look after things, and as for the design, Yangyang is overseeing it. I am actually the one who needs to worry the least."

"It seems everyone is very concerned about you."

"Yes, it's quite nice to have people who care."

Su Kexuan said, smiling.

Xie Wanyi looked at Su Kexuan's smiling face and suddenly felt that she had changed compared to last time.

She not only smiled more, but her entire state was also very relaxed.

Hmm...

A Su Kexuan like this had absolutely no sense of the irritation one would expect from having their home soaked in water.

Perhaps...

She did not reject the idea of continuing to stay by Jiang Mobai's side.

Xie Wanyi quietly memorized this conclusion, preparing to share it with Jiang Motian when they met!

Su Kexuan did not know what Xie Wanyi was thinking.

After having another cup of tea with Xie Wanyi, the two left together.

But just as they stepped out of the teahouse, Xie Wanyi sensitively noticed someone secretly taking pictures of them.

He frowned, intending to drag the person out.

Su Kexuan, however, said in a low voice, "Just a little mouse, no need to pay it any mind."

"But she is being too blatant!"

"Endure it a little longer, otherwise how can the plan proceed?"

Xie Wanyi thought of the relationship between the secret photographer and the technology company boss...

Forget it, he would endure it.

Xie Wanyi let out a breath.

Then he urged Su Kexuan, "Be careful, and look after your own safety."

"Rest assured, with them, they cannot hurt me."

Just as she finished saying this, Su Kexuan tripped.

Xie Wanyi subconsciously reached out to steady Su Kexuan's arm.

In this very instant, Song Yue was frantically pressing the shutter.

The face hidden behind the lens was twisted with joy.

Over these past few days, she had already collected quite a bit of "wonderful" material.

She could not wait to expose it all!

Yet the mysterious person insisted she keep waiting.

Saying that the real main course had not yet appeared.

Telling her to keep her shirt on.

How could Song Yue not be impatient?

Whether she could finally hold her head high depended on this one time!

Song Yue gripped her camera tightly, her whole person both excited and restless.

But what Song Yue did not know was that her little tricks had already been discovered by Su Kexuan and Xie Wanyi.

"Truly digging her own grave!"

Xie Wanyi's expression was somewhat cold.

Toward such incompetent, stupid, and malicious fellows, Xie Wanyi had never had a good attitude.

Su Kexuan then said, "A grasshopper after the autumn, it won't be able to jump for much longer. Alright, I'm heading back to the company first."

Xie Wanyi nodded slightly.

After parting ways with Su Kexuan, he clearly felt the scorching gaze behind him vanish.

His whole person felt a bit more comfortable.

But thinking of Su Kexuan having to be stuck with that sticky piece of chewing gum...

Xie Wanyi could not help but frown.

He greatly admired Su Kexuan's patience, being able to act as if nothing had happened at all.

In any case, Xie Wanyi could not do it.

On the other side—

Once Su Kexuan returned to the company, she had someone call Lao Zhong to her office.

Over these past few days, she had used various methods to test Lao Zhong.

She wanted to see Lao Zhong lose his composure.

Who knew that Lao Zhong's performance would become increasingly steady.

Even Su Kexuan's assistant was somewhat misled by Lao Zhong's performance.

Yet Su Kexuan had never lessened her suspicion of him.

When Lao Zhong walked into the office, Su Kexuan gestured for him to sit first.

Then she got straight to the point and said, "Exactly how many benefits did the person behind you give you to make you willingly endure all this hardship?"

Lao Zhong hung his head and did not speak.

"Don't want to say? Then let me say it for you."
