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

In that instant, Jiang Xiyu's heart seemed to stop beating.

He watched as Shen Jingtan's eyes widened slightly, her face stiffening as if she had completely lost the ability to think and speak.

He hadn't expected Shen Jingtan to so casually break the ice. After all, the gap between him and Shen Jingtan was enormous in every way, especially since he was currently being called her 'nephew's lover.' Given this relationship, it was incredible that Shen Jingtan could be so blunt...

Jiang Xiyu stared at Shen Jingtan for a long time without saying a word.

Shen Jingtan patiently observed the changes in his expression until she saw unease and helplessness in Jiang Xiyu's expression. Then she smiled slightly and comforted Jiang Xiyu, telling him not to overthink it or feel burdened.

But how can such words not make people think?

Jiang Xiyu lowered her eyes and looked away as if fleeing.

Shen Jingtan is highly skilled. In the relationship between Jiang Xiyu and Shen Xiushu, he has always been an observer, occasionally taking the initiative to get involved. Through his probing, he can accurately determine that the bridge connecting Jiang Xiyu and Shen Xiushu is mostly driven by self-interest.

Since emotions don't outweigh interests, Shen Jingtan doesn't even need to get involved or guide the situation much. The fragile relationship between Jiang Xiyu and Shen Xiushu will crumble instantly if there's any external conflict.

Now that this external force has appeared, Shen Xiushu is engaged. Shen Jingtan did not choose to tell Jiang Xiyu the news proactively, because that would be too purposeful and might lead the young man to misunderstand that it was him who prompted it.

Only when Jiang Xiyu realizes it himself, and when he completely gives up on Shen Xiushu in this relationship, will he step in to protect him once he is certain that Jiang Xiyu is heartbroken.

Because offering help in times of need is far more genuine than adding to someone's existing success.

That's why Shen Jingtan offered an even better deal than Shen Xiushu today, hoping that Jiang Xiyu would remember the way out she had left for him today, driven by self-interest.

On the surface, his words respectfully gave Jiang Xiyu all the choices, but in reality, he had already unknowingly chosen the path for his prey.

In the relationship between Jiang Xiyu and Shen Xiushu, he always played the role of a gentle and kind elder, agreeing to let Jiang Xiyu be with Shen Xiushu and using his tolerance to dispel Jiang Xiyu's wariness. However, in the vortex of gentleness and elegance, he was actually a scheming and ambitious man.

Once Jiang Xiyu falls in, there will be no chance of her getting out.

So, not knowing how to answer, Jiang Xiyu chose to flee.

Given his current affection for Shen Xiushu, and the ambiguous relationship with his uncle, he couldn't afford to offend him and could only choose to escape.

Shen Jingtan did not stop him, but after the young man left, she sighed almost imperceptibly, pressing her temple to her side.

He summoned his secretary and ordered someone to send Jiang Xiyu back.

After the secretary nodded, she walked closer to him and whispered something in his ear.

After hearing this, Shen Jingtan gave a subtle smile and said only one sentence, which could be considered as tacit approval.

……

After this incident, Jiang Xiyu has been intentionally or unintentionally avoiding Shen Jingtan.

Shen Jingtan didn't take the initiative to contact him. It was as if the connection between the two of them had no reason to continue after that meal.

During this period, Jiang Xiyu was busy with the promotion of her new drama and various endorsement activities.

In mid-June, "The Fall of Qingshan" was released without any prior publicity. As soon as it aired, it became incredibly popular, with related terms and characters frequently trending on social media.

Jiang Yun made more than a dozen phone calls overnight, saying that Jiang Xiyu was about to become famous.

Jiang Xiyu didn't feel anything particularly strongly about it. It was only by chance, when Jiang Yun accompanied him to a top luxury shopping mall in Shanghai to pick out a gift for Jiang's mother, that Jiang Xiyu had a slight feeling that he was about to become famous.

The shopping mall's waterfall screen, which is more than ten stories high, displays the ancient style image of Jiang Xiyu's "Green Mountain Jade Shattered," which can be described as truly dazzling.

Jiang Yun was stunned when he went in.

Even though he'd seen all sorts of things, he'd never seen a celebrity get to appear on this mall's high-end screen before. It's said that many top stars in the entertainment industry couldn't get on board, including internationally renowned luxury brands. And now, a star who'd only had one drama air and had a little bit of buzz was on that high-end screen…

Jiang Yun was so shocked that she couldn't speak. After looking at him for a long time, she finally looked at Jiang Xiyu and said, "President Shen is really too kind to you."

This is a level of prestige that money can't buy, yet Jiang Xiyu became the first celebrity to appear on the screen of this top luxury shopping mall.

Everyone entering the mall can see that incredibly outstanding face on the large screen, and people everywhere on each floor can be seen taking pictures of the screen with their phones, along with occasional exclamations of amazement.

This kind of thing is not unusual; fans are usually willing to pay for their favorite stars. But fans who are this capable are a first in the industry.

Jiang Yun frowned as he looked at the crowd taking pictures. He walked over to Jiang Xiyu and said in a low voice, "How about I buy it for you? I feel like if you get caught, it will cause chaos."

Jiang Xiyu seemed amused and shook her head, saying no.

But he forgot that his long hair was too eye-catching.

Just as she reached the counter to pick out a gift for Jiang's mother, she was spotted by other customers who were also shopping inside.

Seeing that Jiang Xiyu appeared to be alone, they couldn't contain their excitement and stepped forward to ask if they could get an autograph.

Jiang Xiyu hadn't expected them to be so observant, but she couldn't very well refuse.

As a result, when he came out after buying his things again, the mall gradually became congested. Within minutes, it was completely blocked, with a huge crowd of people holding up their phones.

Jiang Xiyu could barely move. It was only after the mall manager arranged for many security guards to come over that Jiang Xiyu was able to leave through the emergency exit.

It wasn't until she got into the car and listened to the screams through the window, watching the crowd that wouldn't disperse, that Jiang Xiyu vaguely realized that Jiang Yun might be right.

Meanwhile, at the Hengyue Building.

Shen Jingtan sat cross-legged on the sofa, looking down at the video on her phone that her secretary handed her.

The video shows Jiang Xiyu suddenly appearing in the mall, causing a massive earthquake. Turning the screen to the side reveals the mall's large screen displaying the results of the inspection.

The secretary relayed what the mall manager had said, roughly meaning that he hoped Shen Jingtan would be satisfied.

Shen Jingtan didn't look up. After her slender fingers lightly tapped to save the photo, she seemed to smile slightly.

The shopping mall was owned by an acquaintance, so he personally called to express his gratitude.

The man on the phone had no idea how much he cared; he was almost caught off guard when he answered the call.

After all, this old friend is notoriously elusive, and it's even more difficult to make an appointment with him.

Unexpectedly, they actually did something like this, even calling in person. The man's voice was deep and resonant. He chuckled and teased, "I can't accept your thanks."

"I really didn't realize you were such a fan at your age."

The other person seemed to have discovered some incredible secret and couldn't stop laughing.

Shen Jingtan listened quietly, gave a barely perceptible smile, and did not refute.
