Chapter 45: Su Yu and Jiang Xiangxiang

Ji Yan saw a string of familiar numbers, decisively tapped it, cutting off Su Yu's opening of the Hot Search.

Su Yu curiously called out, "Hey."

"Ji Yan, you actually did it so extreme?"

"You are Su Yu?"

Su Yu was about to say, "It's me," but the phone was snatched away and hung up.

"Mom?"

Su Yu looked at Ji Yan holding the phone; she was a bit puzzled. It's fine not to make a call, but give the phone to her!

She hasn't had enough fun yet!

"Xiao Yu, Mom wants to go ask your elder uncle and grandma for help; do you want to go with her or take a shower first?"

【Just said let me play, why change your mind again? I only touched it for less than a minute!】

【That stupid idiot made me lose the chance to play on the phone!】

【Ah! Why don't I have money, why don't I have a card to punish her!】

"Go over and watch!"

【Let's go, let's go, go see the excitement! Uncle is there, of course it's a gaga rampage! Anyone who can move even a single hair on Mom proves Uncle is useless! So angry! Finally get to play on the phone!】

Su Yu stepped with a happy little "tap tap" and dragged Ji Yan forward.

As soon as she stepped out of the room, she shouted "Elder Uncle!" and "Great‑Grandmother!" in a crisp childlike voice that rang through the whole villa.

Su Xi and Yang Zhichun came out of their respective studies.

"Great‑Grandmother, someone is bullying Mom!"

【Reporting! Reporting! Reporting!】

"Alright, Great‑Grandmother will avenge your Mom."

"Let's go."

The family entered Yang Zhichun's study, and Ji Yan told everyone.

"My former Agent was fired by Splendid Scenery Entertainment. She thinks I'm blackmailing for personal revenge, keeps harassing me, and even said she'd expose my dirt."

【What? What dirt could Mom have? Isn't she the one who raised a child for three years and hasn't taken any work?】

No work, where would the dirt come from? Could it be from before?

【Ji Xiaoling appeared?】

Su Xi lowered his gaze and called Wang Jun De.

"Ji Yan's Agent threatens to expose her dirt."

"Alright, I'll take care of it right away."

Wang Jun De got up from the bed and called the head of the Public Relations Department.

"Release all the dirt of Ji Yan's former Agent."

Wang Jun De hung up the PR call and then contacted the Legal Department.

"Ji Yan's former Agent, sue her."

After hanging up, Wang Jun De didn't go back to sleep; instead he opened the Hot Search to watch the commotion.

#Su Yu Jiang Xiangxiang#

#Ji Yan Su Yu Share the Same Lineage#

The two Hot Searches occupied the first and second spots.

While #Ji Yan's Former Agent Speaks# ranked after those two, hanging at the tail of the Hot Search.

Wang Jun De watched #Ji Yan Agent Threat# climb the Hot Search list at breakneck speed, gradually approaching #Su Yu Jiang Xiangxiang#, but the latter just wouldn't drop.

Wang Jun De opened the latter; the top Hot item was a comparison video of the two girls, and the second was a chart comparison.

The first video compared Su Yu's daily life with that of the Jiang Family heiress, now back in place, beside Ji Yan. The second compared Su Yu's expenses during the Jiang Xiangxiang period with the spending Ji Yan gave to the Jiang Family heiress.

The caption read: "Ji Yan harmed the Jiang Family heiress."

【Damn it: We're just saying, ordinary kids still live comfortably!】

【Laughing to death: This really can't be laughed at. Are such parents actually real?】

【You don't get the NPC world: Hahaha, suddenly feel the NPC world is truly wonderful! Indeed, money isn't free!】

【Daily black 208w: Now it seems we can't blacken, everything fears comparison!】

【Sweet sweet sweet sweet: Hahaha, how ironic, the real Jiang Family heiress: locked in a dark room, starved, thrown into a pool; the real common folk: summering at the manor, wintering in red coats!】

【Boba Pearl Coconut: No hype, no slander, you two should break up, Su Family still cooperating with Jiang Family?】

【Crazy is only the world: Waiting for the announcements from both families.】

……

Wang Jun De, after watching, sighed, "Fate is unpredictable," then messaged the head of Su Clan's new subsidiary, asking him to background‑check the company's target stars. Keep any problematic ones on file; the clean ones, send the data to HR for further contact. He also reminded the head to settle the background‑check expenses with Splendid Scenery's finance.

Meng Xianle received the order and giggled with joy.

"We really came at the right time!"

After Meng Xianle posted all the person data to the group, he waved his phone. Where was it ever this satisfying before? As long as Splendid Scenery doesn't go bankrupt, they can have business every month! The celebrity gossip side is hugely profitable!

No one present exposed their own boss. Clearly he had drawn the Jiang Family then, but the boss ripped it up on the spot.

And loudly declared, "We are joining the Su Clan!"

"Boss, what does the Jiang Clan aim for?"

Meng Xianle took the order from the Jiang Family and, with professional ethics, prepared a copy approved by Jiang, but he added a comparison video.

After adding the video, the caption became especially ironic!

"Indeed, could the person Jiang ordered be a Su Clan mole? Is she…"

……

Are you resenting that your life is too comfortable?

For the first time, Jiang Qiyu dropped his gentle façade and shoved Shui Wanhua onto the sofa.

Jiang Yuzhen silently hid behind the sofa and shed tears.

They'll find out sooner or later. If it weren't for that useless investigation agency you hired, defecting to the Su Clan wouldn't have turned out like this.

Shui Wanhua did it using Jiang Qiyu's connections.

Do you realize that if you'd been just a little later, they would have been mine?! Who told you to send it?!

You're giving away a top‑quality pawn to the Su Clan for free—do you really think Jiang Qiyu is that generous?

When they discovered Jiang Xiangxiang wasn't their biological child, he agreed to let Ji Yan take Su Yu away: first, to placate the somewhat hysterical Shui Wanhua and their obviously resistant Jiang Xiangxiang; second, to let Jiang Xiangxiang see how treacherous the world is, so she'd obey obediently in the future.

The moment Ji Yan's identity was exposed, Jiang Qiyu had already arranged an ending for her and Jiang Xiangxiang.

But then another accident happened.

Jiang Xiangxiang's father turned out to be Su Xi! She really returned to her clan and is deeply favored by Yang Zhichun!

With such an identity, how could she possibly return to the Jiang Family to be a marriage pawn?

He was preparing to gradually undermine Su Xi's intelligence sources, steering that office toward his Jiang Family. Jiang Qiyu had people arrange it in secret. He clearly felt that the office's head had become much more enthusiastic toward him.

This time, Shui Wanhua's order prompted the other side to make a decision right away.

Ji Yan and her daughter's experiences are indeed similar, yet not quite the same. Look at that comparative video and its extremely sarcastic caption—anyone would think Jiang Xiangxiang is innocent and pitiful!

The comment sections of all official accounts of the Jiang Clan have been overrun by netizens!

Look, look, look!

We didn't abandon her! She isn't my biological child—I raised her according to aristocratic rules, so I owe her nothing!

Huh? You want netizens to think that too—can you?

Jiang Qiyu flushed with anger. Hearing the knock, he straightened his suit and opened the door.
