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

Chapter 297 High-Ranking Business Tycoon (Gong) VS Beautiful, Clueless, and Clear-Headed (Shou) [73]

Shen Jingtan didn't stay at the villa for dinner because he had an unexpected business engagement. However, before leaving, he told Jiang Xiyu to get some rest.

Jiang Xiyu was already upset about the scandal, and he was planning to find an opportunity to talk to Shen Jingtan that night. But when he heard Shen Jingtan's words, he assumed that he wouldn't be coming back tonight, and he couldn't help but feel anxious. In the end, he just nodded obediently, indicating that he would listen to her.

Seeing that he was in low spirits, Shen Jingtan approached him and asked gently and considerately, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Xiyu then looked up at him and asked softly, "Will Mr. Shen be coming back tonight?"

Shen Jingtan smiled and said gently, "Of course, but I'll be back a little late."

When I went to see Jiang Xiyu last night, he left while he was on his way to a social engagement.

The other party was also a senior figure, and extended another invitation. Shen Jingtan had been a bit impolite last night, so of course she had to give them face and go tonight.

Jiang Xiyu didn't know, but when she heard that he would come back, she smiled slightly.

Seeing that he smiled, Shen Jingtan gently patted Jiang Xiyu's face and gestured for him to go and eat.

Jiang Xiyu obediently walked to the dining table and sat down.

Shen Jingtan only looked away and turned to leave after seeing him pick up his chopsticks.

Once Shen Jingtan's footsteps faded into the distance, Jiang Xiyu lost her appetite and didn't want to eat anymore.

He took out his phone, which was full of messages. Jiang Yun told him that the situation was very troublesome, and the last thing he said was that he should ask Shen Xiushu for help.

Jiang Xiyu stared at that sentence for a long time, and suddenly felt like laughing.

When someone becomes famous overnight, if they don't have a background or capital, they will have to endure malice from all sides, a barrage of unfounded rumors and insults, and almost all the endorsements they receive will have to distance themselves from them, including the actors they have worked with.

None of that matters. What matters is that the person who wants to take everything from him this time is Shen Xiushu.

Jiang Xiyu replied to Jiang Yun's message, and Jiang Yun sent him a template, asking him to post a Weibo based on it. In the end, Jiang Xiyu only posted a Weibo to comfort his fans, and then went offline.

When Shen Jingtan returned at 11 p.m., she smelled of alcohol.

Jiang Xiyu had been waiting for him in the living room. When he returned, she put aside her reserve and went to greet him.

Shen Jingtan raised an eyebrow subtly and asked him why he wasn't asleep yet.

Jiang Xiyu took the coat from his hand and said sincerely, "I've been waiting for you, Mr. Shen."

Shen Jingtan stared at him for a long time before taking his hand and walking upstairs.

Jiang Xiyu smelled the alcohol on him and asked gently, "Mr. Shen, have you been drinking?"

Shen Jingtan gave a very low "hmm".

I drank two glasses, not much.

Jiang Xiyu then asked, "Mr. Shen, does your head hurt?"

He remembered that Shen Jingtan would get headaches when she drank too much alcohol.

Shen Jingtan didn't stop walking, and said calmly, "Some."

Jiang Xiyu then seemed to have found an opportunity and offered to give him a massage.

Shen Jingtan did not refuse.

After returning to the master bedroom, Jiang Xiyu thoughtfully poured him a glass of warm water, then went behind him and massaged him.

Shen Jingtan watched his every move through the floor-to-ceiling window, then closed her eyes slightly, feeling the softness of the young man's fingertips.

He could see through Jiang Xiyu's attempt to please him, but he only let Jiang Xiyu massage him for a short while before grabbing his wrist and pulling him onto his lap.

Shen Jingtan lowered her eyes and looked at him for a moment, as if trying to see through his intentions.

Jiang Xiyu swallowed nervously, then tried to ignore Shen Jingtan's calm gaze and took the initiative to put his hand on Shen Jingtan's neck.

Shen Jingtan remained calm as always, but she placed her hand on Jiang Xiyu's waist and then lowered her head to kiss him.

Jiang Xiyu raised her chin, moved closer, and made a suggestive sound.

He thought that when Shen Jingtan softened because of this intimacy, she would take the initiative to ask him for help.

He missed his chance to whisper sweet nothings in her ear last night; this time, he'll have to wait for another opportunity.

In fact, Shen Jingtan understood everything.

He did nothing but kiss me, and even that kiss was very short.

When Jiang Xiyu was pulled away by the back of his neck, his eyes were still a little dazed. The saliva left on his lips was wiped away by Shen Jingtan with his fingertips. He looked at Jiang Xiyu quietly for a long time before asking him in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

The hand tapped lightly on the back of his neck, as if urging him to speak.

Jiang Xiyu struggled for a moment, then bit her lip and said, "Mr. Shen, I want to plead for you, please help me."

The immense popularity Jiang Xiyu gained from "The Shattered Jade of Green Hills" has now been matched by a massive backlash. Jiang Xiyu's request is for Shen Jingtan to help him resolve this scandal.

For Shen Jingtan, this matter is just a matter of a word, but for Jiang Xiyu, it could ruin his entire career, and in more serious cases, it could even involve his mother and past events.

He didn't want this to affect Jiang's mother, nor did he want to give up his career like this.

Jiang Xiyu raised her eyes, her pupils reflecting the shards of light falling from the lamp.

His second plea was made using that affectionate address: "Uncle Shen, please..."

His voice was soft, with a slight panting in it, like weaving a net of love that landed on Shen Jingtan. He kissed away Jiang Xiyu's biting lip and spoke in a very gentle tone: "Okay, what do you want me to do?"

In fact, without even asking, Shen Jingtan already knew what Jiang Xiyu wanted his help with.

He only found out that night when he went to find Jiang Xiyu. He knew the difficult situation the young man was in and that he had no way out.

He took Jiang Xiyu away not hoping that his appearance would win the young man's heart, but to make Jiang Xiyu understand that he could give him power and favor that even Shen Xiushu could not.

Shen Jingtan was happy to help him out of the predicament, and he reassured him, "Don't worry, it's nothing."

These words were like a reassurance to Jiang Xiyu.

Jiang Xiyu knew that Shen Jingtan had agreed, and then looked at him with some gratitude.

Shen Jingtan smoothed the stray hairs on the side of his face and smiled slightly, "You seem to have lost weight again. Did you enjoy the food tonight?"

Jiang Xiyu replied softly, "It's delicious."

The dishes were all prepared according to his taste, but Jiang Xiyu wasn't in the mood, so he ate very little.

Shen Jingtan didn't speak, just looked at him. When she saw Jiang Xiyu's eyes dart away, she sighed inwardly.

The little thing is lying; it clearly didn't eat anything.

The soup Jiang Xiyu drank when she was hospitalized a while ago was made by the auntie from the Shen family.

Shen Jingtan brought the person over to help Jiang Xiyu improve his health.

However, he didn't say it outright. He simply ran his fingertips lightly across Jiang Xiyu's back, feeling the slightly protruding bones, pressed them, and whispered, "You need to take good care of your health, understand?"

The tone carried a hint of solemnity and other implications.

Jiang Xiyu clearly felt the hand on her back, then took the initiative to grab Shen Jingtan's wrist, rubbed her face against his palm, and obediently said, "I will, Uncle Shen, thank you."

Shen Jingtan's eyes deepened slightly, and she simply said, "You don't need to thank me in the future."

Even if Jiang Xiyu didn't say anything, he would still take action to solve this problem.

However, what he wanted Jiang Xiyu to know was that he had no intention of developing their relationship into a power-for-sex transaction. He liked him, so their intimacy was natural and not something they were exchanging for.

Jiang Xiyu paused for a moment, then lowered her eyelids slightly and tentatively asked in a low voice, "Then tonight, can I sleep here with you?"

He was really conscientious about being a mistress.

Shen Jingtan chuckled and said in a low voice, "Of course, you can sleep here all the time."
