Chapter 46

~7 min read 1,370 words

Who was An Rongxuan?

She was the famous high-cold queen of Jiang City's high society!

She actually fell for Xu Tian?

Was she blind, or did Xu Tian have some leverage over her that forced her to submit?

Immediately, the employees watching looked at Xu Tian with even more disdain.

Not only was he a good-for-nothing, but he was also a scumbag who wouldn't hesitate to toy with a woman's feelings for his own benefit. It was simply disgusting!

"It's not that I don't want to say."

Xu Tian sighed, looking troubled: "It's that President An asked me to keep it a secret. But since this has caused such a big misunderstanding, for the sake of President An's reputation and my own, I'll explain."

"It's true that President An likes someone, but it's not me."

"She said she had never pursued anyone before and asked me for some advice. The confession you heard earlier, Mr. Yun, was just President An practicing with me."

The surrounding employees were stunned to hear Xu Tian's words.

Is, is that so?

However, regarding Xu Tian's explanation, everyone felt it was more reasonable.

After all, no one believed An Rongxuan would fall for a good-for-nothing like Xu Tian.

"Then how do you explain the contract?"

Yun Shuo's expression changed, but he still pressed aggressively.

Xu Tian raised an eyebrow and then looked at Xu Rixin with some confusion: "Big Brother knows about the contract too! President An had long wanted to cooperate with us, but last time she asked to meet Big Brother, he didn't have time, so I had to go meet her in his place."

"Wait a minute!"

Xu Rixin suddenly interrupted him: "President An had long wanted to cooperate with us? When did that happen? Why don't I know about it?"

"That day you and Miss An went to a concert and left your work phone at home. I answered the call for you. Later, when I called you, you even said the concert was about to start and told me to go talk to President An. Have you forgotten?"

"This..."

Xu Rixin's face changed drastically, and he subconsciously looked at Yun Shuo, feeling guilty.

At this moment, he remembered that he had indeed received a call from Xu Tian a few days ago, but he was focused on pleasing a beauty to gain the support of her family. He had no interest in listening to what Xu Tian was saying, so he brushed him off and hung up. He never expected to have missed such important news.

However, how did Xu Tian know he was with An Xingyue that day?

Could it be that he had inadvertently revealed it to him?

Damn it!

Xu Tian, that idiot, actually revealed that he was on a date with An Xingyue in front of Yun Shuo!

What if Yun Shuo discovered the truth? What would he do?

Seeing Xu Rixin lose his composure, Xu Tian curled his lips into a mocking arc that vanished in an instant.

Don't let Xu Rixin's usual brotherly act with Yun Shuo fool you; in reality, he was secretly hooking up with Yun Shuo's childhood sweetheart and fiancée, An Xingyue.

In his previous life, even after An Xingyue married Yun Shuo for the sake of her family's interests, she still frequently cheated on him with Xu Rixin behind his back.

Yun Shuo was ruined and left with nothing precisely because he trusted Xu Rixin too much, falling from a wealthy second-generation heir to an unemployed drifter living in a rental apartment.

Xu Tian knew all this because, in his previous life, after Yun Shuo hit rock bottom, he wrote a song to vent his anger. It went viral online and unexpectedly became the biggest internet hit of the year, flooding all major short-video platforms.

Yun Shuo made a comeback, entered the music scene, and became a hot new star, eventually reaching the pinnacle as a music king.

But he had suffered the double blow of betrayal by a friend and a lover; even after returning to the peak, his life was not happy.

He worked himself to the bone to forget the pain, and his body collapsed before he was thirty.

The reason Xu Tian returned to work at the Xu Group, besides reclaiming his shares, was primarily to recruit Yun Shuo.

With the changing times, the room for development in traditional industries was being compressed again and again.

Therefore, he understood that if he wanted to stand beside Tang Bingyan, he couldn't just cling to these Xu family industries; he had to innovate.

And the future belonged to self-media, and those who tested the waters first made a fortune.

He already had preliminary plans, and knowing Yun Shuo's talent, he naturally didn't want to miss this opportunity.

Easing his relationship with Yun Shuo was the first step.

Sure enough, when Yun Shuo heard Xu Tian mention the concert and Miss An, his two sword-like brows immediately furrowed.

He had no interest in pursuing the matter of An Rongxuan's confession anymore, but instead stared intently at Xu Tian and pressed:

"The concert you mentioned, was it the one held at the Jiangcheng Grand Theater at the beginning of the month? Was it the famous Russian Kasa Orchestra?"

"Yes, do you like listening to classical music too, President Yun?"

Xu Tian feigned surprise: "I heard tickets for this concert were hard to get, but with your status, getting a VIP seat shouldn't be difficult, right?"

"Of course it wasn't difficult!" Yun Shuo clenched his fists, angry sparks erupting in his eyes: "Then the Miss An you mentioned, was it An Xingyue?"

"Yes, she's my Big Brother's university classmate. So you know Miss An too?"

Xu Tian looked enlightened and laughed heartily: "Almost forgot, President Yun and my Big Brother were university classmates. What a small world."

"Isn't Miss An President Yun's fiancée?"

A small employee nearby exclaimed in surprise, only to be quickly silenced by someone next to them.

Yun Shuo loved An Xingyue very much and often showed off their affection in the company; even the low-level staff knew they were engaged.

Now, Xu Rixin was actually going to a concert alone with his good friend's fiancée?

This was inappropriate no matter how you looked at it.

The employees looked at Xu Rixin, the expression in their eyes changing from respect to suspicion.

Could their President Xu really be a scumbag who digs into his brother's backyard?

"Xu Rixin, what is going on?"

Yun Shuo's face was terrifyingly gloomy.

Of course he remembered that concert. He had specifically asked someone to buy two VIP tickets to please An Xingyue, but An Xingyue had said her music-loving best friend really wanted to see the performance and had been very disappointed because she couldn't get tickets.

Yun Shuo had no interest in classical music, so when he heard An Xingyue say this, he gave her both tickets.

He had actually suspected for some time that An Xingyue might be hooking up with another man, but without evidence, he didn't want to make wild guesses.

But the concert thing was too strange.

Even if Xu Rixin really wanted to see it, there was no reason for him not to come to him, his friend, but instead go to his fiancée.

Then, Yun Shuo thought of something else.

On the night of the concert, after An Xingyue returned, she brought back a gift box, saying it was a return gift from her best friend for the tickets. She had been wearing that bracelet as a return gift ever since.

Originally, Yun Shuo thought it was really a gift from her best friend and didn't pay much attention, even though An Xingyue never wore the jewelry he gave her; he always felt it was his poor taste that she didn't like.

Now it seemed that this bracelet was not a gift from her best friend at all!

"A Shuo, you misunderstood, it's not what you think..."

Xu Rixin had originally wanted to see Xu Tian make a fool of himself, but he never expected to bring trouble upon himself, and he wished he could go up and punch Xu Tian to vent his anger.
