After Breaking Up, I Married the Dying Tycoon in a Flash-Chapter 364: Tender Trap (Part 6)

An Jiayi was at a loss for words. She stared at Xie Zhang and choked out, "You’ve seen through it?"

How could he not see through it?

Such tactics were far too crude for Xie Zhang.

Xie Zhang’s gaze wandered across An Jiayi’s face. His voice was soft and faint as he murmured lowly, "Jiayi, you shouldn’t play such games with me."

An Jiayi, belatedly realizing her fear, her face paling, her voice growing increasingly hoarse, said, "You’ve been with Jiang Yan."

Xie Zhang really didn’t understand why this girl was still in the mood to talk to him about such things?

He sneered, his tone indifferent and cold, "Yes, we’ve been together."

An Jiayi’s eyes were red-rimmed, her hands clenched into fists as she stared at Xie Zhang’s slightly chilly eyes, "So, it’s because of you that Jiang Yan targeted me."

"So it’s my fault?" Xie Zhang completed the words that An Jiayi did not voice out.

An Jiayi nodded slowly and deliberately, and said, "Yes."

Xie Zhang laughed bitterly out of extreme anger.

This girl could always exceed his expectations.

Xie Zhang was leisurely as he pressed down on An Jiayi with significant force, "So, I should just accept being part of your scheme? An Jiayi, if you want me to stand up for you, just say it outright. I don’t like it when people play these petty tricks." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

An Jiayi’s teeth were trembling. She looked at Xie Zhang with teary, red eyes, her tears glistening.

Xie Zhang watched her expressionlessly, perceiving the dampness around her eyes; his previously stony heart suddenly couldn’t continue the act. Abruptly he stood up, then opened the car door and walked out.

An Jiayi remained in her reclined posture, tears slipping down from the corners of her eyes.

Her mind was blank. After a long while, she blinked, sat up, and silently watched the tears flow as she looked out the window.

Xie Zhang was gone. An Jiayi didn’t know where he’d gone.

Meanwhile, upstairs, Wang Shao was scolding Jiang Yan.

"Are you out of your mind? Have you lost your wits? Locking Jiayi in the restroom, do you no longer wish to get by?" Wang Shao pinched between his eyebrows and said solemnly, "You call Jiayi right now, apologize to her, and admit you were wrong!"

Jiang Yan’s eyes widened with tears as she looked angrily at Wang Shao, "Why should I apologize to her? President Wang, can’t you see? It was clearly that bitch An Jiayi scheming against me!"

"So what if she schemed against you? Did you or did you not lock her in the restroom? Were you not the one who struck first? She didn’t force you, right? She didn’t put a knife to your throat, did she?" Wang Shao had a splitting headache. "Stop talking nonsense and call her now!"

Jiang Yan’s face showed humiliation; she balled her hands into fists, firm in her resolve, "I won’t! I would rather die than apologize to her! It’s all her own doing! Why should she steal my role!"

"You should go to Xie Zhang! Why don’t you question Xie Zhang? I already told you, it was Xie Zhang’s idea, An Jiayi doesn’t have such ambition, she wouldn’t dare to ask these things from Xie Zhang!"

Jiang Yan looked dazedly at Wang Shao, sneering and nodding consecutively, "You see, even you speak for An Jiayi! You’ve all been fooled by her!"

Wang Shao, seeing that Jiang Yan was obstinate, was about to say something more when, in the next moment, he saw someone approaching. His expression changed instantly, and he said, "I don’t want to hear it anymore. Whatever you want to say, say it to Mr. Xie!"

Jiang Yan’s sneer froze on her face. She slowly turned around and saw Xie Zhang behind her.

The man’s face was full of menace, his handsome features holding impatience. He looked at her coldly, his voice icy, "Who gave you the audacity!"

He began with an accusation, leaving no room for her. The so-called past affection was just her own illusion.

Jiang Yan’s tears fell, as all the past moments surged into her heart, the man before her who now treated her with a cold face had once smiled at her warmly and pleasantly.

Her sense of grievance could not be hidden, she choked up and said: "Mr. Xie, I didn’t... I don’t believe you can’t see that this time, An Jiayi schemed against me."

"I see it."

Jiang Yan was stunned, forgetting to cry, "If you see it, then..."

"So what if I see it?" Xie Zhang said coldly: "An Jiayi is my person."

It turned out that he wasn’t here to support justice, but to warn her.

Jiang Yan didn’t understand what kind of person An Jiayi was, what on earth she had done, to make Xie Zhang break his usual rule, to interfere in the petty calculations between women.

He was clearly always indifferent, always a cold onlooker, was there also such a day, for someone else’s sake that he’d make a stir?

Jiang Yan smiled bitterly, her voice hoarse, "Mr. Xie, what do you want to do now? Should I go apologize to An Jiayi?"

Xie Zhang’s eyes and brows were detached, he did not speak, which was as good as agreeing to Jiang Yan’s suggestion.

Jiang Yan’s sense of hatred grew even stronger.

Her hands clenched tightly into fists, her eyes full of reluctance, looking at Xie Zhang.

Beside them, Wang Shao had already noticed that the atmosphere was off, he approached with a smile, and said: "Mr. Xie, where is Jiayi right now? I’ll take Jiang Yan to personally apologize to her."

Jiang Yan closed her eyes, her shoulders slumped in defeat, her face showing a color of desolation.

She lost, lost to Xie Zhang’s inexplicable favoritism towards An Jiayi.

During the days Jiang Yan followed at Mr. Xie’s side, although it was very brief, she saw very clearly that Xie Zhang never moved heart, he just treated every woman who stayed by his side as a plaything.

Yet he could show such partiality to An Jiayi.

Jiang Yan conceded with a smile, she slowly opened her eyes, calmly looking at Xie Zhang, smiling: "Okay, I’ll go apologize to An Jiayi, if that’s what Mr. Xie wants."

An Jiayi was sitting in the car, lost in thought.

She knew Xie Zhang had seen through her ruse.

Had he stormed off, intending to leave her here?

If he left her here, that would seem reasonable. Young Master Xie, in his lifetime, probably didn’t have many people daring to scheme against him.

An Jiayi thought that her clumsy act must have been annoying.

It was not until Jiang Yan and Wang Shao came over and opened the car door that the three of them faced each other and An Jiayi startled.

Jiang Yan stood outside the car, her eyes downcast, the resentment and unwillingness in her eyes were very neatly concealed. She said: "My apologies, Miss An, the incident before was my fault. Please don’t hold it against me, don’t take it to heart."

Wang Shao, seeing the silence on An Jiayi’s face, also joined in smoothing things over with a smile: "Exactly! We are all from the same company, we see each other all the time, it’s not good to hold a grudge."

An Jiayi looked behind the two, the space was empty; Xie Zhang had not come.

He still protected her reputation in public; at this point, An Jiayi felt content.

Her voice was very light: "I was also at fault in this matter, Teacher Jiang Yan, I’m sorry."

Wang Shao breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It’s good you’ve cleared the air. I’ll go up and tell Mr. Xie that you’ve resolved the misunderstanding, and we’ll put this matter to rest, how’s that?"
