Chapter 58: Chapter 58 She Has a Strong Ambition

Frustrated, Jian Xi could only arrange to go drinking with Wan Yu.

"Absolutely not! Your husband’s lost his mind! He suddenly issued a plan to overhaul the e-commerce industry and called an emergency e-commerce conference overnight. I’m in Ancient City right now!"

"He went too?"

Jian Xi hadn’t even had a chance to breathe a sigh of relief when she heard Wan Yu scoff, "Of course, he had to come to Ancient City too. After all, he’s one of the initiators."

Great.

Being able to avoid meeting that menace, Jian Xi was happy to have some peace and quiet.

"By the way, Xixi, I heard Si Junyan is doing quite well for himself in the Northwest. Be careful," Wan Yu’s information was always sharp, so Jian Xi didn’t doubt him.

If Si Junyan went there and managed to establish himself, could it be that Si Yuhuan was feigning compliance with me while secretly helping him?

On second thought, that shouldn’t be the case.

Si Yuhuan, though ruthless and cruel to me, always kept his word. The person secretly helping Si Junyan shouldn’t be him.

So who could it be?

Jiang Qimeng can barely protect herself. It definitely wouldn’t be her.

It seems there’s another mysterious person pulling strings from behind the scenes.

Musing over these questions, Jian Xi casually found a restaurant to eat.

She fiddled with her phone, posting photos of Jiang Qimeng hurriedly moving out of Fuyuan Official Residence under the most popular comment on a trending blog. She thought it would cause a huge uproar, or at least make Jiang Qimeng suffer the consequences of her own cleverness and get bombarded by criticism again. However, even after a long wait, it didn’t make the slightest ripple.

She finished her meal. An hour passed, and there was still no buzz.

Just as Jian Xi was wondering if the phone Si Yuhuan had bought her was faulty, a few girls walked in, chattering animatedly.

A girl in a pink top with her hair in a bun said, "They almost had solid proof of the rumored affair between the top tycoon Si Junyan and the popular actress Jiang Qimeng! But then, at an e-commerce alliance seminar in Ancient City, he directly clarified things. Director Si said he was just showing concern for a contracted actress under his company, nothing more. It seems he really loves his wife, stepping up to clear the air like that. So, no drama to watch."

A woman in black business attire said with envy, "Director Si must be a once-in-a-lifetime kind of good man. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have bothered to clear up the misunderstanding just to prevent his wife from getting the wrong idea. To think he’d enter the ’grave of marriage’ at such a young age! It leaves no room for our fantasies."

"And Jiang Qimeng must be a very professional actress who sticks to her principles. As far as I know, her family background is ordinary, and she has absolutely no connection to the tycoon. There’s no way anything’s going on between them. If you ask me, it’s just these netizens overanalyzing things. My idol’s reputation will never crumble!"

Hearing this, Jian Xi finally understood.

No wonder the photos I took were useless and didn’t cause any stir. It turns out Si Yuhuan had already clarified their relationship in Ancient City.

Now that he had brought his relationship with Jiang Qimeng out into the open, Jian Xi, ironically, felt her mind go blank. She didn’t know what her next move should be to deal a heavy blow to the insufferably arrogant Jiang Qimeng.

This is completely pointless. She decided to go home and sleep.

Her older brother called.

"Come to Jian Group."

His tone sounded serious.

Jian Xi’s heart skipped a beat. "Brother, are you the only one there?"

In her impulsive focus on getting back at Jiang Qimeng and Si Yuhuan, she had forgotten that her older brother and mother were also avid followers of entertainment news.

"Mom’s here too."

Figures!

Steeling herself, Jian Xi asked, "Can I not go?"

"Then I’ll have Dad come and get you personally. Even though he doesn’t follow entertainment news, how long do you think something like this can stay hidden?"

"Alright, wait for me."

I have to explain.

She sped all the way there, her mind racing with countless explanations. When she arrived at Jian Group, the receptionist quickly led her to the CEO’s private elevator.

Passing by the office area, Jian Xi saw all the employees engrossed in training for the company’s transition.

Nearly everyone had a copy of the Haohan Chip sales plan and was actively working on its implementation.

Everyone seemed fired up, full of hope for the future.

DING!

The receptionist gestured politely. "Young Miss, please."

Jian Xi nodded and stepped into the elevator.

As the floor numbers climbed, Jian Xi’s palms couldn’t help but sweat.

She could face Jiang Qimeng and Si Yuhuan with defiant composure, but she couldn’t remain calm and collected in front of her older brother and mother.

As she pushed open the door, she was greeted by the sight of a teacup shattered on the floor. The white porcelain lay in pieces, and Jian’s Mother’s anger was blazing.

"I’ve always said that Si Yuhuan is no good! Xixi, you’re so innocent and kind; you’re no match for that woman, Jiang Qimeng! Divorce him! Divorce him right now!"

Seeing Jian Xi, Jian Mingcheng immediately said, "Prepare the divorce papers. We’ll start the legal proceedings tomorrow."

Jian Xi pursed her lips. "Sorry, I’m afraid that’s not possible."

If this were before, there might have been room to maneuver. But now, the entire Jian Group has staked everything on the release of the Haohan Chip according to my plan. I can’t let the hard work of generations of the Jian Family go down the drain.

My brother can dote on me without reservation, and Mom and Dad can lavish me with wealth, but I can’t ignore their feelings and investments.

Besides, bringing down Haohan Group and ensuring Si Yuhuan’s utter defeat, from which he’ll never recover, is so close. How can I give up halfway and lose such a major opportunity for a minor setback?

"Xixi, are you out of your mind? After everything Si Yuhuan has done, you still want to defend him? Can’t you open your eyes and see clearly? The man is heartless! He doesn’t love you! If you divorce him, Mom will approve of any man you want. I could even accept someone with a disability, but absolutely not a two-timing scoundrel like him!"

Jian’s Mother was absolutely fuming.

Jian Xi couldn’t help but smile wryly. If the proud and arrogant Si Yuhuan knew that, in the eyes of the Jian Family right now, he ranked lower than even a disabled person, I wonder what he’d think.

"You’re still laughing! Has the anger driven you mad?" Jian’s Mother was genuinely worried about Jian Xi, her heart aching so much she was tempted to call the hospital and arrange a full check-up for her.

"Mom! I’m fine, I’m really okay!" Jian Xi went over and took her hand. "This whole thing is baseless. Si Yuhuan has already explained it. It’s just a work relationship. Besides, he’s been with me constantly recently. Where would he find the time to bother with Jiang Qimeng? If there was anything, it was a long time ago when Yan Qing arranged a temporary place for her to stay. She’s already moved out."

"Really?" Jian’s Mother was still somewhat skeptical.

"You can’t take rumors based on speculation seriously. Moreover, Jiang Qimeng is a celebrity; she needs publicity. And who’s more newsworthy than Si Yuhuan?"

Jian’s Mother gradually calmed down, temporarily convinced. "Still, you need to be more careful."

Jian Xi wanted to tell her mother: I’ll do more than just be careful, Mom. I’ve gained a whole new life.

And I’m keeping this life precisely to make all those who wronged me pay for what they did.

Jian’s Mother had to get back to have dinner with Father Jian, to prevent him from seeing the news and getting worked up, so she left in a hurry.

Jian Xi tried to laugh it off and leave, but Jian Mingcheng grabbed her wrist firmly. "Little sister, Mom might be easy to fool, but do you take your older brother for an idiot?"

There are just too many smart people in this family.

Jian Xi turned back, flashing an adorable smile. "Brother! You really see through everything, don’t you!"
