Quick Transmigration: The Yandere Boss Pretends to Be Well After He's Gone Mad

Chapter 273 High-Ranking Business Tycoon (Gong) VS Beautiful, Clueless, and Clear-Headed (Shou) [49]

Shen Xiushu avoided Jiang Xiyu by answering a phone call. After finishing the call, he gave Jiang Xiyu a cold look, but left without saying anything.

However, after returning to his car, he instructed his secretary to send someone else to investigate Jiang Xiyu's whereabouts.

"I need to know all his whereabouts from last year to this year, including who he has contacted and where he has gone. It would be best if I could access the surveillance footage..."

Such an investigation would require a huge amount of manpower and resources, but Shen Xiushu didn't care.

The continuation of one lie requires countless other lies to cover it up. Every action has its loopholes. Even if he couldn't find his uncle's whereabouts, as long as the two had any contact, there would definitely be clues left behind.

The consequences of such subtle clues are something Jiang Xiyu cannot afford.

Shen Xiushu was essentially a businessman; he wouldn't hesitate to deal with someone who betrayed him.

At that point, Jiang Xiyu's tears will no longer be of any use.

It seemed like the matter was dropped, but Jiang Xiyu knew that it wouldn't be so easy for Shen Xiushu to get over it.

After all, it was Shen Jingtan who made the call, and Shen Jingtan's call came at just the right time. How could he not know that this call would make Shen Xiushu even more suspicious of him? But what he wanted to guide was precisely to make Shen Xiushu suspicious of him.

Suspicion hurts people; this man calculated everything perfectly.

Jiang Xiyu lowered her eyes, looking at the message that suddenly popped up on her phone.

Shen Jingtan sent him a message saying that she would return the favor after he finished filming.

This gift was a gift from Jiang Xiyu, who waited for Shen Xiushu at the restaurant but failed to find him. Shen Jingtan then invited him to dinner, but in the end, Jiang Xiyu treated him to that meal, so Shen Jingtan sent a message saying she wanted to return the favor.

Even the excuse of inviting him to dinner was reasonable, so Jiang Xiyu really had no reason to refuse. Besides, he couldn't very well refuse Shen Jingtan's request.

However, after seeing the message, Jiang Xiyu did not reply immediately. Instead, she tidied herself up and returned to the film crew before agreeing to reply.

As soon as he returned to the film set, Ning Qing came up to him and asked if he was alright. Jiang Xiyu didn't say what was wrong, but he really didn't know what had happened before he passed out, so he asked Ning Qing.

Ning Qing patiently told him everything, including how Shen Jingtan took him away and how Shen Xiushu questioned him afterward. Ning Qing also mentioned that the investor on the production team had changed, saying that a new investor had taken over.

Jiang Xiyu asked him who the investor was, but Ning Qing wasn't very clear either. He only knew that the other party's company wasn't as famous as that Mr. Yu's, but unexpectedly, the other party's investment was quite large.

Seeing that Jiang Xiyu was still in a daze, Ning Qing couldn't help but laugh and tease, "I didn't expect that the big shot I met at the TV station last time was actually your uncle."

Jiang Xiyu was momentarily confused and frowned, asking, "What uncle?"

Ning Qing thought she hadn't explained clearly, so she explained again: "It's the gentleman who took you away last night. He said he's your uncle."

Jiang Xiyu pursed her lips and remained silent for a long time.

uncle?

What kind of fetish is this?

Jiang Xiyu couldn't help but mutter a curse in her heart.

However, he quickly put the matter out of his mind.

Because of his drunkenness, Jiang Xiyu delayed some of the filming process. He was so engrossed in the filming that it wasn't until half a month later, when the crew wrapped up filming, that Jiang Xiyu remembered that he was supposed to have dinner with Shen Jingtan. Shen Jingtan's secretary called him on time that day.

However, the meal clashed with the wrap party, so Jiang Xiyu had to cancel the wrap party.

He asked his secretary for the address, but Shen Jingtan answered him instead.

Shen Jingtan considerately said, "I've sent someone to pick you up."

Jiang Xiyu paused for a moment, then politely called out to him, saying that it was too much trouble for him to send someone to pick him up personally, and that he could go by himself.

Shen Jingtan chuckled softly and gently refused him, "The driver has arrived. Let's go to the parking lot."

It was obvious that the older man had come prepared.

Jiang Xiyu stopped being coy and obediently went to the parking lot.

Shen Jingtan's driver had indeed been waiting for a long time, and when he saw him coming, he quickly went to greet him.

After driving through the bustling city center, about half an hour later, the car arrived at a quaint and antique place. After getting out of the car, a secretary immediately and respectfully led him inside.

The restaurant is not ostentatious, but it is elegant and sophisticated enough.

Jiang Xiyu was led into a room, and after he went in, his assistant closed the door very quietly.

The dining table in the room was separated by a screen, and behind the screen, Shen Jingtan was sitting serenely, sipping tea.

The two quickly exchanged a glance through the screen.

Jiang Xiyu looked at the elegant outline faintly outlined on the screen and took the lead in walking around the screen.

The man gradually revealed his true nature in his eyes.

He wasn't wearing his usual suit, but rather a modern Chinese-style dress embroidered with bamboo. His upright posture, paired with the sandalwood bracelet on his wrist, made him appear as gentle and refined as a gentleman.

In addition, his aura was very calm, and when he restrained himself, he gave people an even more approachable and dignified impression.

Jiang Xiyu was slightly taken aback, feeling that the man looked like he had stepped out of a painting.

When Shen Jingtan saw him arrive, a very gentle smile appeared on her face, and she waved to Jiang Xiyu, signaling him to come to her side.

Jiang Xiyu sat down opposite him.

Shen Jingtan glanced at the distance between them and smiled slowly.

He asked softly, "Would you like some tea?"

Jiang Xiyu nodded.

Shen Jingtan's tea-making movements were very pleasing to the eye, and soon, her slender hands handed over a cup of tea.

The color of the tea is just right, neither too strong nor too weak.

Jiang Xiyu politely accepted the tea with both hands, and while drinking it, she stole a glance at Shen Jingtan.

Shen Jingtan pretended not to see it, acting as if she was seriously sipping her tea.

In fact, he had already sized up the young man when he came in.

Her hair had grown a bit longer, and her face was now pointed.

Looking at the photos sent by the people below, it didn't seem like much, but now that she saw him in person, Shen Jingtan still felt that he had lost a bit of weight.

They hadn't seen each other for two weeks since their last intimate encounter.

Jiang Xiyu wouldn't bother him, and Shen Jingtan was also afraid of affecting his filming, so she didn't make any moves.

Therefore, it always gives people the illusion that what happened in the car last time was a long time ago.

The two sat facing each other, and that inexplicable, subtle feeling emanated from their gazes.

Jiang Xiyu blinked slowly and looked away.

The air was quiet, and no one spoke.

Only after the tea was finished did Shen Jingtan say, "Let's go eat."

He got up and walked towards the dining table, and Jiang Xiyu quickly followed behind him.

When it was time to sit down, Jiang Xiyu chose to sit opposite him.

Shen Jingtan smiled faintly and said, "You're sitting too far away, Xi Yu."

A round dining table is too large; if it's just for two people, you should choose a smaller one.

Seeing that he had already spoken, Jiang Xiyu felt that sitting opposite Shen Jingtan was indeed too far away, so she took the initiative to get up and walk to a place closer to him.

Shen Jingtan pulled open the seat next to her.

Jiang Xiyu paused for a moment, then lowered her eyes and obediently sat down.

The two of them sitting together eating like this actually indicates a certain intimacy.

Whenever they get even slightly intimate, Jiang Xiyu is reminded of the tenderness they shared in the car that time.

He knew how strong the other man's arms were, and he also knew how sexy this man's asceticism was.

Jiang Xiyu could only try her best to avoid touching Shen Jingtan.

The next moment, her arm touched him.

It was Shen Jingtan who came over with the menu and gestured for him to order.
