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

Chapter 289 High-Ranking Business Tycoon (Gong) VS Beautiful, Clueless, and Clear-Headed (Shou) [65]

Shen Jingtan gently led him closer to her and looked down at Jiang Xiyu intently.

Jiang Xiyu looked up in confusion and met a pair of extremely deep eyes.

The indifference in those eyes had faded, and now they seemed to hold nothing, yet they clearly reflected his own image. Jiang Xiyu could clearly feel some emotion surging within them, an emotion that was very intense.

Their eyes met for a long time, and he felt as if he had nowhere to retreat under their gaze.

In that atmosphere, it was a hint; Shen Jingtan didn't make a move, waiting to see if he would accept.

Jiang Xiyu slowly lowered her long eyelashes.

Shen Jingtan sighed inwardly and helped him button up the collar of his shirt until the collarbone was no longer visible before she withdrew her hand.

Seeing Jiang Xiyu looking somewhat dazed, Shen Jingtan gently patted his cheek and said softly, "What's wrong? Aren't you leaving yet?"

Jiang Xiyu paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Oh, okay."

After everyone left, Shen Jingtan stood there looking at the made-up bed, and smiled after a long while.

He didn't go to sleep immediately, but turned around and opened the window to let in some fresh air. By the time the wind outside had dispelled his desires, the sky was already beginning to lighten.

As dawn broke, the desires that had arisen at night seemed to have never existed.

When Jiang Xiyu woke up, Shen Jingtan had already left.

The blankets on the bed in the cubicle remained untouched. Jiang Xiyu leaned against the door and watched quietly for a while, then seemed to smile.

The kitten suddenly jumped onto the bed, stomping on everything that was meticulously arranged.

When things got really chaotic, Jiang Xiyu finally stepped forward and picked it up.

Jiang Xiyu gently kneaded the kitten's paws, then softly said, "You're really naughty."

This simple scene appeared on Shen Jingtan's phone through surveillance footage.

Initially, it was to observe Jiang Xiyu's condition, fearing that he might be depressed because of Shen Xiushu's matter. Later, it became Shen Jingtan's habit over the past few months.

When nurturing this crabapple tree, Shen Jingtan truly poured out a level of patience he had never shown before.

Gradually, Shen Jingtan noticed that the crabapple tree seemed to be beginning to recover.

……

Originally, she thought this peaceful life would continue until she was discharged from the hospital, but unexpectedly, a week before her discharge, news broke online that Jiang Xiyu was being kept by a sugar daddy.

Given Jiang Xiyu's current popularity, this revelation immediately caused a huge uproar. Although the company quickly arranged to suppress the trending topic, it was not completely suppressed, and Jiang Xiyu was still significantly affected as a result.

Major marketing accounts and media outlets began digging for information and speculating about the financial backers behind him. In the process of grabbing attention, many actors who had contact with Jiang Xiyu were also affected. For a time, the fans of those actors began to defend their idol and fought with other fans on Weibo. Because Jiang Xiyu was unable to contact the outside world during his hospitalization, it was difficult to determine the truth of many things. The company's statement overnight directly caused the storm to escalate.

Online discussions are rife with rumors about a popular male celebrity being kept by a sugar daddy, and even fabricated photos and supposed "evidence" have begun circulating on Weibo.

The affected actors' fans began to spontaneously boycott Jiang Xiyu, which spurred other unsuspecting fans to join the attack.

Suddenly, it was as if a star, the center of attention, was being besieged by the unspoken rules hidden in the darkness of the night.

Jiang Xiyu was thrust into the spotlight, while there was no trace of the other protagonist in this sugar daddy/sugar baby scandal online.

Jiang Xiyu knew that this matter would never be exposed without Shen Xiushu's permission.

Now that he has completely absolved himself of any wrongdoing, Jiang Xiyu will have to face judgment from within the industry.

Whether good or bad, it's all a devastating blow to one's future.

This was Shen Xiushu's warning, and also his revenge. His purpose was to tell Jiang Xiyu that he could lift her up with one hand, and destroy her with the other.

Jiang Xiyu took the initiative to call Jiang Yun, who was already frantic. After receiving the call, Jiang Yun frantically asked him who he had offended, and said that many endorsements were demanding to terminate their contracts, and other TV series that had been filmed or had not yet been broadcast were inevitably affected. In the end, Jiang Xiyu would face an exorbitant amount of breach of contract fees.

He had just become famous with "The Shattered Jade Mountain", and now that this has happened, who knows how many people are secretly trying to take this opportunity to destroy him. After all, in the entertainment industry, popularity is always a double-edged sword.

There are plenty of people who want to use Jiang Xiyu's kind of stepping stone.

Jiang Yun had no other choice but to tell him to go to Shen Xiushu to resolve the matter.

Jiang Xiyu listened expressionlessly, then hung up the phone without calling Shen Xiushu.

He sat alone in the hospital room, not drinking a drop of water all day.

The secretary had no choice but to call Shen Jingtan.

Upon hearing that Jiang Xiyu had locked himself up for a day, Shen Jingtan instructed her secretary to give him the phone.

Jiang Xiyu stared at the phone in his secretary's hand, which showed that she was on a call, without saying a word.

Shen Jingtan gently called out to him, "Xi Yu."

In an instant, the emotions that had been held back burst forth, and Jiang Xiyu finally took the phone and put it to his ear.

For the first time, he called Shen Jingtan rudely, only giving a brief "hmm," as if he was trying his best to suppress something, his tone trembling slightly.

Even though the response was short and Jiang Xiyu tried to hide it well, Shen Jingtan still sensed something was wrong.

He frowned slightly and asked Jiang Xiyu what was wrong.

Jiang Xiyu didn't speak, but her breathing was rapid, as if she couldn't catch her breath.

Shen Jingtan waited patiently for a while, but when she didn't get a reply, she softened her tone as much as possible and said soothingly, "I'll come over."

He asked his secretary to take the phone and instructed him to keep an eye on the person. After hanging up, he ended his social engagement and, as he walked out, asked his second secretary to investigate what had happened.

But when he arrived at the hospital, the ward was empty.

Half an hour ago, Shen Xiushu, who had obtained the number from Jiang Yun, called Jiang Xiyu.

Jiang Xiyu accepted the call.

There was a moment of deathly silence on the phone before Shen Xiushu's cold voice came through.

He said coldly, "Jiang Xiyu, come and see me."

Jiang Xiyu looked at the torrential rain outside the window, stretched out her fingertip to touch it, and only touched the cold glass.

He remained silent for a long while before saying in a hoarse voice, "Isn't this what Ashu wanted to see?"

They pushed him to the bottom.

Shen Xiushu felt a strange sense of pleasure as he listened to the sob in his voice, but after the pleasure subsided, his heart felt as if it were being pressed down by something.

He warned impatiently, "Don't make me say it a second time."

After that, the phone was hung up.

Jiang Xiyu walked to the door with his phone in his hand, but his secretary blocked his way and reminded him, "Mr. Shen will be here soon, you can't go out."

The red dot on the monitor glowed eerily. Jiang Xiyu looked up at it with tears in her eyes, then her gaze gradually dimmed. She told her secretary that she had to go out to handle some matters.

Fearing his secretary might be worried, he proactively told him the place Shen Xiushu had arranged to meet.

The secretary didn't dare to offend him, and after the address was reported, he offered to accompany Jiang Xiyu there.

Jiang Xiyu did not refuse, but after taking the car keys, he left his secretary behind.

The surveillance footage rewound and paused several times, finally settling on the young man's forlorn and heartbroken back.

Shen Jingtan's eyes instantly filled with coldness.
