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

Chapter 299 High-Ranking Business Tycoon (Gong) VS Beautiful, Clueless, and Clear-Headed (Shou) [75]

Shen Jingtan returned to the Shen residence the next day.

As soon as I entered, I met Shen's mother carrying medicine. After asking her, I learned that Shen Xiushu was sick.

He happened to need to speak with his nephew, so he gestured to Shen's mother to give him the medicine.

After hesitating for a moment, Madam Shen handed over the medicine bowl and said nervously, "If Xiushu has done anything wrong, please forgive him."

Shen Jingtan was, after all, an elder, and the relationship between the uncle and nephew had always been very good.

Mother Shen didn't believe they would develop a grudge over an unrelated person, especially a man. She had already severely reprimanded Shen Xiushu before, and as for Shen Jingtan, she dared not and had no right to say anything, but she still didn't want Shen Jingtan to harbor resentment because of her son's offense.

After listening, Shen Jingtan simply nodded slightly, and the gentleness in her eyes became even fainter as she went upstairs.

The door was pushed open, and Shen Xiushu was stunned to see who it was. He seemed not to have expected Shen Jingtan to bring the medicine herself. After he realized what was happening, his face turned pale and then red.

Shen Jingtan placed the medicine on his bedside table, then looked down and saw the wound on Shen Xiushu's lips. She raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she hadn't expected it.

Jiang Xiyu had no injuries on her face, but Shen Xiushu had taken several punches to the face.

He hadn't expected that someone who seemed so docile could have such a side. A smile seemed to flash across his eyes for a moment, but it was fleeting. Upon closer inspection, Shen Jingtan's expression remained cold.

He rarely showed a cold face to younger people, but this time, Shen Xiushu's behavior was indeed unbecoming of his status.

The revelation of Jiang Xiyu's background has thrust him into the spotlight.

This method was despicable and low-level; Shen Jingtan was certain she had never taught him to do something like that.

Shen Xiushu knew, of course, that he had come to interrogate him, but he believed that he was the one who had been betrayed, so his expression was also very unpleasant.

He suddenly said, "Uncle, are you here to laugh at me?"

Shen Jingtan slowly sat down on the sofa next to him, looked at him for a long time, and said calmly, "I'm here to tell you some things you don't know."

Regarding the last time at the hospital, Shen Xiushu caught him kissing Jiang Xiyu.

Shen Jingtan knew that Jiang Xiyu wanted to use him to get rid of Shen Xiushu, so he agreed.

He also recounted every meeting he had with Jiang Xiyu, how Jiang Xiyu waited for him alone at the restaurant, how he had carefully prepared gifts for him, and even frankly relayed Jiang Xiyu's words that everything she did was for Shen Xiushu... As for the so-called betrayal, before Shen Xiushu's engagement, it was almost entirely nonsense.

They never went astray.

From beginning to end, Shen Jingtan was indifferent, but the person who truly brought everything to this point was Shen Xiushu himself.

If he could recognize his own feelings, if he could treat Jiang Xiyu as an equal, if he weren't so arrogant, perhaps he wouldn't have hurt the young man to that extent.

Shen Jingtan looked at the bulging veins on Shen Xiushu's forehead, but she wasn't in a hurry. She tapped her knee lightly with her fingers, and when Shen Xiushu's emotions seemed to be on the verge of reaching a certain extreme, she said with a half-smile, "It's a pity that you disregard his affection."

"Not only that, you actually want to destroy him."

Shen Jingtan's gaze darkened slightly. After a long while, she lowered her voice and said, "You've always thought that I interfered, which is why you've ended up like this. But think about it carefully: did I steal him, or did you push him over here with your own hands?"

Shen Xiushu's face was ugly. He closed his eyes and pondered for a long time before looking at Shen Jingtan and saying, "It's just that you, Uncle, are more skillful. I am ashamed to admit that I am not as good as you."

Shen Jingtan frowned slightly and sighed inwardly as she looked at Shen Xiushu.

He stood up with some disappointment and said indifferently, "You can't even see your own heart clearly, yet you think my methods are clever. What am I supposed to say to that?"

Shen Xiushu's face remained expressionless, but his grip on her hand suddenly loosened, trembling slightly as if he had realized something.

The answer is already obvious.

He raised his head, his eyes bloodshot.

Shen Jingtan smiled gently as always, as if laughing at his slowness, and her tone was somewhat unforgiving.

"How am I supposed to tell your father? Am I supposed to say that I've raised a good-for-nothing over the past ten years?"

Shen Xiushu's face turned deathly pale.

His feelings for Shen Jingtan were complicated. Apart from the matter of Jiang Xiyu, he always projected the feelings of filial piety he had for his father onto Shen Jingtan.

Having been taught by Shen Jingtan for so many years, what he longed for most was to gain Shen Jingtan's approval.

But now, Shen Jingtan's words were like a blow to the head, leaving him speechless.

Shen Jingtan looked down at him for a long time. His expression was cold, and his tone carried an undeniable warning: "I don't want that child to have anything to do with you anymore."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Once everyone had left, Shen Xiushu simply knocked over the medicine next to him.

The bowl shattered on the ground, the sound grating on my heart.

……

Meanwhile, with Shen Jingtan's help, almost all Weibo posts related to Jiang Xiyu and his fans were removed overnight. This incident sparked a massive online discussion. Some said Jiang Xiyu had been blacklisted, while others speculated that he had powerful backers; various theories emerged one after another.

Just when everyone thought Jiang Xiyu was about to be embroiled in another media storm, the heated discussion did not last long. The morning after the trending topic was removed, Weibo administrators began to ban a large number of accounts that violated the rules, including many influential figures with millions of followers. Any account that participated in this cyberbullying, or spread false information, rumors, or insults, was punished according to the severity of the violation.

This sparked a wave of criticism from Weibo users.

That same afternoon, Jiang Xiyu's entertainment company issued a statement demanding accountability, sending lawyer's letters to accounts that had spread rumors and insults. Many bloggers who received these letters, fearing lawsuits, wanted to apologize, but their accounts were banned, leaving them no choice but to accept the apologies.

As for the media outlet that published the scandal, it came forward with a lengthy apology shortly after Jiang Xiyu's company issued a statement demanding accountability.

This behavior was tantamount to digging one's own grave. The media stirred up public outrage, and the situation was reversed in an instant, like the wind sweeping through a reed bed. Within a few hours, the media outlet disappeared.

Jiang Yun was busy dealing with the contract termination and compensation for Jiang Xiyu at the time. After learning about these things, he never expected that the media would stab him in the back.

Seeing that the matter had not only been suppressed but also put Jiang Xiyu in a more advantageous position, she immediately made a phone call.

When Jiang Xiyu received the call, she had just finished reading the long article in the media.

On the phone, Jiang Yun's tone revealed undisguised excitement.

She said this was Jiang Xiyu's chance to turn things around, and she was thinking of meeting Jiang Xiyu when he was free to talk to him about the future plans.

Jiang Xiyu made an appointment with him on Sunday, which is two days later.

Jiang Yun agreed.

Jiang Xiyu knew that she was busy with her own affairs, so she said "thank you for your hard work" before hanging up the phone.

During dinner, the aunt brewed some traditional Chinese medicine for Jiang Xiyu.

These Chinese medicines were meant to help him regulate his body. Jiang Xiyu took a spoonful and immediately found it unbearably bitter.

While the aunt wasn't looking, he quietly pushed the bowl to the edge of the table.

When Shen Jingtan returned, she saw this scene.

The young man wore the bitterness of the medicine on his face, and like a cat, he slowly moved the bowl to the edge, as if trying to make a mark of accidental spillage.

Shen Jingtan walked slowly behind Jiang Xiyu, then bent down and pressed down on his hand that was about to cause trouble. She leaned closer and said, "Are you going to do something naughty?"
