Rebirth: Divorcing the Billionaire-Chapter 460 - 458: Shameless Persistence Has Its Uses
"I’m sorry, it’s my first time acting, and I haven’t rehearsed. I don’t know how it will turn out. I feel a bit stage-frightened facing Si Yuhuan!"
Zhang Yaxuan’s soft laughter came through the phone.
Jian Xi pursed her lips, "Did the fish take the bait?"
"You’re right, Fu Shengyuan is indeed not simple. He came to me to deal with Si Yuhuan."
Hearing her guess confirmed, Jian Xi clenched her fist tighter.
"To think the person hiding deepest around me was actually him!"
Thinking of everything in the past, Jian Xi took a deep breath, "I still need to trouble you..."
"We’re friends, there’s no trouble at all. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be able to..."
"Yaxuan, you said it, we’re friends, no need for that. Remember, you’re great, exceptionally so. Uncle’s illness has nothing to do with you; you’ve already done your best to give him a happy and joyful final years. Actually, life and death happen in an instant. Living longer is all a gift. Uncle has been very happy and joyful. I’ll let him know that Mingming and Qianqian will always be his grandchildren!"
Zhang Yaxuan was moved to tears.
"Jian Xi..."
"I’ll have someone bring the kids over every day. We can’t keep being a couple just for show. The children are innocent and making Uncle and Aunt happy is what matters most."
"But it’s too dangerous, Si Yuhuan will find out..."
"It’s okay, as long as we can hide it. Until... the matter concerning the fourth brother, I won’t tell him about it."
"After everything is settled, I will leave here. By then I’ll be completely away from him, and if he wants to find the kids, he can dream on."
Zhang Yaxuan laughed along, "Serves him right for having such a sharp tongue. I support you."
"Alright!"
....
Huang Ying knocked on the door.
"Xixi, you there?"
Jian Xi opened the door, and she immediately slipped in.
"Oh my! Guess what I saw!"
She had just shaken off that clingy Song Xicheng, and barely made it back to the Jian Family, only to see Si Yuhuan lying in his car!
"Si Yuhuan’s in the car, is he planning to spend the night in such a place?"
What kind of person is he!
The richest man in China!
A man whose name is recognized worldwide!
And yet here he is, sleeping in a car for Jian Xi.
If this news got out, it would definitely make the headlines.
Jian Xi calmly motioned for her to sit down, "Do you know when men are most pathetic?"
"Hmm?" Huang Ying widened her eyes, "He made a mistake, and now he’s trying to get your forgiveness with this sad act. But is that something he would do? It’s quite incredible!"
"Xixi, honestly, he actually looks pretty pitiful. I heard from Song Xicheng that he hasn’t fully recovered from his previous injuries. This trip abroad was too busy and exhausting; he almost didn’t make it. Didn’t you see him in the hospital? Did you really not feel a single bit of sympathy?"
"If I pity him, who’s going to pity me?"
Jian Xi couldn’t help it and showed a moment of anxiety in her expression, "He deserves it. If he wants to act pitiful, he can do it. I’ve already said it’s impossible. He doesn’t believe it and insists on gambling. Let him hit the wall and find out the pain himself."
"I’m just afraid if he doesn’t die, he won’t leave. Then you’ll never shake him off."
Huang Ying smiled as she said.
"You silly girl, you’re so confused when it comes to your own love, but when you talk to me, it’s like you’re a relationship expert."
Jian Xi tapped her nose affectionately.
"How do you know that Song Xicheng’s success today isn’t because I’ve been strategizing behind the scenes?"
"Alright, you little devil, got me worried for nothing, so it was actually you..."
The room echoed with the sound of tinkling laughter.
....
Song Xicheng drove Huang Ying back to the Jian Family Old House and found out that his good brother was actually sleeping downstairs, so he couldn’t help but tease him a bit.
Si Yuhuan saw him coming, rolling down the window.
Surprisingly, Song Xicheng unceremoniously opened the car door and got in.
There was a melancholy air around him.
And he couldn’t help but be snarky.
"Oh my! Seems you got shut out! Buddy, let me tell you, you might as well change your target. This woman is tough. If you keep clinging, I’m afraid you’ll end up losing your life."
Si Yuhuan lifted his eyelids to glance at him, "You’re no better off, why don’t you give up?"
Song Xicheng retorted, "We don’t have such big misunderstandings between us, can’t be compared to you. So don’t make Ying’er sound so unreasonable."
Si Yuhuan was displeased, "Who were you saying is unreasonable!"
"Me, me, me! I’m talking about myself, is that not alright!" Song Xicheng couldn’t help but roll his eyes, "Nowadays, your temper is unbearable; I can’t even make a casual remark without getting a reaction. If she agrees to get back with you, I can only imagine."
Si Yuhuan simply closed his eyes, too lazy to respond to him.
Song Xicheng continued gossiping.
"Do you have any ace up your sleeve? Share it with your buddy."
Si Yuhuan turned away.
He leaned closer.
"Any clever trick you can share won’t kill me. Why so stingy?"
Si Yuhuan turned back, "Are you done?"
Song Xicheng scratched the back of his head, "Women are really hard to please. Can’t you share some charming tips? Especially since Huang Ying wasn’t like this before, and now she..."
Seeing his good buddy now all twisted up because of a woman, his usual carefree demeanor was nowhere to be seen.
With a meaningful tug at the corner of his mouth, he still didn’t say anything.
"Fine, you won’t say it, right? Then let’s just sleep together."
Song Xicheng also reclined his seat and lay down.
Truly frustrated!
So hard to deal with!
Si Yuhuan thought, this idiot, being played around in someone’s palm, and he still doesn’t know it!
Those women before were probably all fake, right!
Does he really not understand how easy it is for a psychologist to toy with a man?
"Stubborn like a dead duck! Deserved it!"
The words he told himself, Si Yuhuan sent them back to him.
Song Xicheng angrily glared, "You really won’t take a single loss."
...
A whole week passed.
Fu Shengyuan tried to contact Jian Xi several times, but was gently declined.
Xiaoli was a bit worried, "Could she have discovered something? Our plan is already underway, and once the new products launch, Haohan Group will be completely devastated. If Miss Jian gets caught in the crossfire, will she blame you?"
The man held a glass of red wine in one hand, his gaze looking out at the high-rise buildings opposite.
That was the tallest building in China.
His childhood goal was to take down Si Yuhuan and become the ultimate existence.
Seeing his wish about to come true, his eyes couldn’t hide the glow of ambition and desire growing, "It doesn’t matter. The path she chose herself, she’ll need to make mistakes once to know who’s really best for her. How’s Zhang Yaxuan’s side prepared?"
"Hilda knew he was bullied and couldn’t stand it. I heard a group of people is quietly being shipped to China. What do you think..."
"Help them speed up, make sure it’s discreet, and silent. The surprise needs to be big enough to be stimulating!"
Fu Shengyuan’s eyes flashed with a cold light, as sinister as poisoned steel.
