Chapter 141 Always Satisfied

Jiang's mother was taken aback, and the chopsticks she was holding froze in mid-air.

A complex mix of emotions flashed across her eyes, then she sighed softly, as if she had expected it.

"It's good that you're coming back; it was bound to happen sooner or later."

Actually, even without Si Yuan saying it, Jiang's mother had already heard about it.

After all, given Jiang Shu's current status and Meng Huai's position, this matter will only cause a greater uproar.

She looked up at Si Yuan again, her tone tentative, "Jiang Shu...does she know?"

Si Yuan nodded, softening her movements as she picked up food: "I know, she saw him outside the restaurant that day."

Jiang's mother remained silent for a moment, her gaze slightly somber.

"Then her father must know as well."

She paused, then lowered her voice even further, "Perhaps his departure during this period was mostly because he didn't want to see Meng Huaizhi."

Ten years ago, those disputes caused quite a stir, and Jiang's father always blamed Meng Huai for "overstepping the bounds".

She suddenly looked at Si Yuan, her eyes filled with a mixture of expectation and confusion: "Xiao Yuan, you're so perceptive. Do you think... Meng Huaizhi still likes Jiang Shu?"

Si Yuan paused, holding the spoon, and thought carefully for a moment.

Meng Huaizhi looked calm and composed that day, like a deep pool, revealing little emotion and a deep, unfathomable mind.

She shook her head and said truthfully, "I can't tell. He's hiding it too well."

But she was certain that Jiang Shu still harbored feelings for Meng Huaizhi.

Subtle emotions don't lie.

Jiang's mother roughly understood and didn't ask any more questions.

After finishing his meal and meeting, Jiang Wang arrived on time to pick up Si Yuan.

After saying goodbye to Jiang's mother, Jiang Wang looked at Si Yuan in the passenger seat and asked, "Does my mother know that Meng Huaizhi is back?"

Si asked in surprise, "How did you know?"

Jiang Wang said casually, "My mom has a lot of spies outside, she definitely knows. Did I ask you?"

Si Yuan answered honestly, "Yes."

Jiang Wang sighed, "It seems my mother has given in."

Si Yuan didn't understand: "What?"

"I compromised because my sister likes Meng Huaizhi."

But the compromise came a little too late.

Jiang Wang checked and said, "Meng Huaizhi is not married."

Si Yuan was slightly taken aback: "So, your uncle has always..."

Jiang Wangzhi said directly, "I like Jiang Shu."

Perhaps neither of them has ever forgotten the other.

Si Yuan never imagined that someone as unpredictable as Meng Huaizhi could have such genuine, passionate, and deep affection.

"It's really rare to have liked my sister for so many years."

Jiang Shu's eyebrows twitched slightly, and the corners of her mouth turned up.

"Si Yuan".

"What's wrong?"

"I've liked you for many years too."

Si Yuan paused for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "Don't tell me you liked me back in high school."

Si Yuan always remembered that at that time, she was very afraid of him.

The two of them would go to bed as soon as they met, without saying anything more.

It was nothing more than a transaction where each party took from the other.

Jiang Wang frowned: "What are you laughing at? Is it that hard to believe?"

"It's extremely, extremely hard to believe."

To be honest, Si Yuan still doesn't understand why Jiang Wang suddenly became so kind to her.

And she impulsively got married.

She was trying to escape the Song family, but what about him?

Jiang Wang's throat bobbed slightly, a pang of heartache in his voice: "Why don't you think I like you?"

Si Yuan thought about it seriously but couldn't come up with a reason. It was probably because Jiang Wang at that time had the words "I won't like anyone" written all over his face.

"You don't seem to like me at all."

Jiang Wang smiled and said, "Then do you know what you look like?"

Si Yuan touched her face and asked, "What does it look like?"

Si Yuan said softly, "Every time, you are... very satisfied."

Si Yuan reacted for a moment.

Then I quickly understood.

"Get out!"

"We're married. Can't we even say we're married?"

Si Yuan: "..."

I couldn't refute him, and I couldn't be bothered to pay him any attention.

But Jiang Wang relentlessly pursued and killed him.

"Aren't you satisfied?"

"I……"

We can't exactly say we're really not satisfied, can we?

Jiang Wang is quite outstanding in every aspect...

"Is that satisfaction?"

Si Yuan conceded defeat and nodded: "Satisfied, satisfied."

Are you satisfied with the person you were five years ago, or with the person you are now?

"I'm satisfied with everything!"

For Si Yuan, there was no difference... In the end, she was basically so tired that she fell asleep.

"That……"

"If you say another word, I'll slap you and send you flying."

Jiang Wang consciously shut up.

It's fun to tease Si Yuan, but it's not fun if you make him angry.

——

The day after Song Yan returned to Haicheng, he heard that Lin Shuangyu had been found.

But now, the police are not allowing her to see anyone anymore.

Song Yan knew that Jiang Wang had brought the person back.

He still hasn't done anything for Si Yuan.

Not only that, it also brought Si Yuan new... trouble.

The day after Lin Shuangyu was imprisoned, he decided to go all out and released the recording of Song Yan saying that he liked Si Yuan.

He likes his adopted sister; he doesn't need to create hype, he can be in the spotlight in just a few hours.

The festivities of wealthy families always attract a large audience, and the recording quickly went viral.

Immediately, the comment section was filled with words like "the heir of the Song family covets his adopted sister" and "immoral".

Even the Song family's stock price dropped by two points.

Assistant Qi rushed in, saying urgently, "Mr. Song, the board of directors is urging you to give an explanation, and... Mr. Song, should you answer the phone?"

Song Yan closed his eyes and his Adam's apple bobbed: "I won't answer."

He doesn't want to see anyone right now.

——

Si Yuan opened her phone and saw this trending topic, with her own name also appearing on it.

The fact that she had a crush on Song Yan had already caused quite a stir, and now it's been brought up again.

Based on Song Yan's recording, netizens began to make various speculations.

Si Yuan wasn't worried about himself, but he was afraid it would affect the establishment of the HC branch.

Sure enough, Liu Yanrui called soon after.

"Si Yuan, what's going on with the news online?"

“A large part of it has nothing to do with me, but I know it’s useless to say these things now. I will try to resolve it as soon as possible.”

Liu Yanrui sighed: "I'm just afraid it will affect Mr. Meng's trust in us."

Yes, Meng Huaizhi, he hasn't returned to the United States yet.

He must have seen this message too.

Si Yuan's fingertips, gripping the phone, turned slightly white. Liu Yanrui's words had hit the nail on the head regarding her biggest worry.

Meng Huaizhi is the head of HC Corporation and is known for his meticulous approach to things. Now that she, as the chief designer, has been embroiled in this scandal, it's hard to guarantee that he won't have doubts about the credibility of the collaboration.

“I understand,” she took a deep breath, trying to keep her voice steady. “Give me half a day, and I’ll handle it.”

No sooner had I hung up than another call came in from an unknown number.

As Si Yuan walked out, she answered the phone hastily, "Hello, who is this?"

"sorry."

Si Yuan paused, disgust rising in his eyes.

It is Song Yan.

Song Yan's voice sounded exhausted: "I've already tried to suppress the hype, I'm sorry..."

Si Yuan raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Does your Song family intend to leave me no way out?"

Song Yan decisively said, "That's not how it is."

"Song Yan, where's your brain? How could you say those things to Lin Shuangyu?"

"I...I was stupid."

"You're stupid, but you shouldn't have hurt me."
