Chapter 261 Getting angry
Liu Qi heard a huge commotion inside the room as soon as he stood at the door.
He abruptly stopped in his tracks, just as he was about to knock on the door, clearly quite startled.
He had been by Jiang Yan's side for so many years, but he had never seen his boss so angry.
In fact, Jiang Yanhui is a person who basically doesn't have much emotion.
Because a man stands so high, he takes everything very lightly, as if nothing and no one can affect his emotions.
He was able to build the company to such a large scale, as if he had devoted all his energy to his work.
What's causing such a loud noise in the room right now?
He stood at the door, hesitant to go in, until the sound of things being smashed inside subsided.
He then took two deep breaths and knocked on the door.
After a long while, a deep, cold voice came from inside, saying only two words: "Come in."
Liu Qi nervously pushed open the door, only to be so horrified by the scene inside that she remained stunned for a long time.
It seemed that everything in the suite that could be smashed had been smashed, and on the only remaining sofa, a man with a livid face was sitting.
His eyes were sharp and his whole body exuded a kind of ruthless aura. Even a big man like Liu Qi did not dare to step forward at this moment.
"What is it?" Jiang Yan asked impatiently when she saw her assistant standing trembling in the entryway without moving.
Liu Qi then came to his senses and remembered the purpose of his visit to Jiang Yan Hui. He quickly said, "...President Jiang, the auction has been moved to tonight. Would you...would you like to go and take a look?"
My God, this is truly a spectacle!
What exactly prompted President Jiang to make such a big fuss?
Does he want to tear the whole suite apart?
He had been by her side for three years, but he had never seen Jiang Yanhui like this before.
Jiang Yan tugged at his collar in frustration, looking at the mess in front of him, but he still felt no relief.
Because he felt so suffocated, yet he also felt that everything was his fault, his heart ached with a dull pain.
As a result, he has completely lost his former self-control.
Whether it was using such cruel methods to threaten a little girl, or smashing everything in the room, he still felt uncomfortable.
How heartbroken was he?
Perhaps only heaven knows how heartbroken, frustrated, and distressed he was...
In the last few hours, those bright, sparkling eyes kept flashing through his mind; she always stood so quietly to the side.
I originally thought she was quiet, but she wasn't; she just didn't know how to talk.
She is still deaf in her right ear; it's congenital...
He took a deep breath, but the restlessness in his heart was impossible to suppress.
However, he knew that staying in the room would only lead to more out-of-control behavior, so perhaps he should do something else to distract himself.
He gently pressed his temples with his long, slender fingers, his deep voice filled with endless weariness, "Go and take a look."
Liu Qi nodded and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something. He hesitated for a moment, but still dared not hide it. "President Jiang, there is one more thing I would like to tell you."
Jiang Yan tilted her head back, closed her eyes to rest, and only lazily hummed in response.
“I told you about the construction site before. A lawyer stepped forward and settled the matter. However, the migrant worker insisted on having that lawyer help her. I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to find that lawyer. I didn’t expect that you, Mr. Jiang, would know her. When I saw that lawyer just now, she looked familiar. Then I remembered that it really was her.”
Jiang Yan snapped out of her daze. "Lawyer? What lawyer? What exactly happened?"
Liu Qi then recounted the whole story in detail.
She added at the end, "She did say at first that she was Attorney Ye, but then she said I must have misheard her and that her surname was Nie. But the person I just saw was definitely her."
Jiang Yan's carefully drawn features showed displeasure, her sharp gaze fixed on Liu Qi. "Why did you only bring this up now? What kind of work are you doing?"
Liu Qi was somewhat bewildered by the scolding and couldn't even express her grievances.
President Jiang was clearly on edge today; he was in a very bad mood.
But he didn't seem to have done anything wrong. He did want to say something, but he was interrupted by the phone call, wasn't he?
However, having an excuse, he naturally didn't dare to say it out loud. He could only lower his eyes and say softly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang, I... I didn't think it was anything too important."
Jiang Yan exhaled a breath of stale air, her starry eyes half-closed, her brows still tightly furrowed.
He didn't speak, and Liu Qi didn't dare to leave.
After a long pause, he waved his hand. Liu Qi felt like he had been granted a pardon and was about to leave when Jiang Yan suddenly remembered something. "Wait."
Liu Qi could only stop in his tracks. "President Jiang, is there anything else?"
“Go and contact the injured migrant worker and give him Attorney Ye’s contact information. I can give him whatever compensation he wants, but he must have Attorney Ye help him reach an out-of-court settlement. Otherwise, we’ll have to go to court.”
Liu Qi was taken aback. Even though he was very surprised by what Jiang Yan had said, he didn't dare to ask any more questions. "Yes, President Jiang."
After his assistant left, Jiang Yan was about to take a shower when his phone rang. He took it out and glanced at the caller ID.
His already furrowed brows furrowed even more deeply now.
He pressed the call button and calmly said, "It should be the middle of the night where you are. Why are you calling me so late?"
The man's tone wasn't very friendly, and the woman on the other end of the phone could tell. She took a careful breath, and her slightly aggrieved voice came through from halfway around the world, "I... I accidentally fell today and scraped my knee. I couldn't sleep tonight, so I called you... Yan Hui, are you unhappy?"
Jiang Yan walked into the bathroom, deftly unbuckled his belt with one hand, and his trousers immediately came off, revealing his long and straight legs.
He said with little expression, "Go see a doctor. Calling me won't help; I'm not a doctor."
"But I want to hear your voice."
The soft female voice speaking these words was not much different from a confession of love. If it were any other man, he would most likely soften his heart.
But Jiang Yan Hui wasn't just any man. Normally, he might have just given her a perfunctory reply.
But he was truly not in the mood today. His deep voice was devoid of any emotion. "Ying Rui, you should remember the agreement I made with you three years ago. Finish your studies over there. When you come back, I will take you to talk things out with my grandfather. Do you understand?"
His tone was unhurried, yet carried just the right amount of warning.
On the other side of the ocean, a woman bit her lip hard, her eyes instantly turning completely red. "Yan Hui, all these years, can't you really forget that woman? She won't come back, but I will! I..."
"She has come back."
Jiang Yan interrupted her, and what followed left the woman utterly hopeless: "I don't need to hide anything from you. Even if she hadn't come back, I had no intention of having any other feelings. Besides, she's back now. Ying Rui, you have to keep your promises to me back then, and I will keep my promises to you as well. I won't treat you unfairly. I know you won't be back until next year, but when you come back, I will give you everything I owe you."
After saying that, he hung up the phone without hesitation.
Jiang Yan tossed her phone onto the washbasin beside her, braced herself on the marble floor, frowned, and her thoughts drifted back to three years ago—
Ying Rui, this woman is his nominal wife.
Everyone outside knows that Jiang Yan got married three years ago.
At that time, he had no choice. The company was completely paralyzed, and he needed a lot of funds. Ying Rui was the daughter of the president of Huadong Bank in City A.
Her father also had a close relationship with Lin Zhenbiao.
So at that time, they considered a marriage alliance.
In fact, Jiang Yan knew back then that her grandfather wasn't short of money. His insistence on making her marry another woman was simply because he wanted her to completely let go of Ye Siyi.
At first, they set their sights on Nan Qingshu, but that girl Qingshu refused to get married no matter what.
He knew that Qing Shu and Ye Zhenghao had something going on.
So Lin Zhenbiao set his sights on Ying Rui.
Left with no other choice, Jiang Yan went to find Ying Rui.
In fact, Ying Rui was only twenty-two years old at that time, while Jiang Yan was almost ten years older than her.
She did indeed fall in love with him at first sight.
Jiang Yanhui told her very clearly that he would never marry her, yet she still foolishly rushed towards him.
She simply said that she was willing to let her father help him and was also willing to act with him. They were just going through the motions, and if he didn't want to register their marriage, she was willing to cooperate.
Although Jiang Yan felt a little sorry for her, the situation was urgent at the time, and since the two of them were only pretending to get married, he didn't object and went through with the charade with her.
Of course, he also promised that he would never mistreat her in the future.
In fact, Ying Rui went abroad to study in the second month after their marriage, so the two have been like strangers all these years, and the outside world only knows that Jiang Yanhui is married.
However, very few people know who his Mrs. Jiang really is.
Three years ago, he had already thought it through and decided that he would settle things with Ying Rui after she graduated.
However, he never expected that he would meet Ye Siyi again in his life.
Now that the situation has changed, he feels he should resolve this matter in advance.
Especially since he now has two children...
*********
Siyi had just put her two children to sleep when a series of regular knocks sounded at the door.
She tucked the two children in before getting up to open the door, but when she saw the man at the door, she opened her mouth in surprise, "Why are you here?"
