Jiang Xunzhi acted quickly, rushing to catch the woman who was about to fall, accurately pulling her into his arms. Anticipating that the ladder was about to fall and hit someone, he swiftly kicked it over, completing the entire action in one go, leaving everyone around wide-eyed in amazement.
Jiang Xunzhi asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
The woman he saved shook her head and said, "I'm fine, thank you, Miss Wan."
The ladder is 5 meters high, and when the person stands on it, they are over 6 meters high. If they were to fall from that height, they could suffer a serious injury such as a fracture, or at the very least, some damage to soft tissue.
After confirming that the person was okay, she felt relieved and went back to her bedroom to take a hot shower. Because she had eaten too much for lunch and skipped dinner, she went to bed early.
The next morning, Jiang Xunzhi got up promptly at 8 o'clock and felt that the servants were whispering among themselves and occasionally glancing at her. She thought there might be something on her face, but when she checked in the mirror, there was nothing there.
The servants gossiping is normal, especially since they are servants in a wealthy family. Every night, her phone is on silent, and messages only vibrate. During dinner, her phone keeps buzzing. Jiang Xunzhi opens it to find that she is trending. Her bed photo is accompanied by the caption: "Poor girl uses all means to marry into a wealthy family, seduces the Shen Group CEO Shen Tingsi, and even tries to lure popular star Lu Yanci."
A long paragraph, each sentence is about how she seduced Shen Tingsi and Lu Yanci, and even included her personal information, but her name was not mentioned. Whether her name is written or not is now irrelevant, her face has been exposed, and now she is famous. It seems that these servants are talking about their own affairs in private. Jiang Nan acted really fast, Shen Tingsi promised to help me suppress it, but now most of the online discussions are about me.
Some netizens also said, "She has worked at the Shen before. I saw her when I was working, but she has already resigned." The reply below asked, "What did she resign to do?"
"I don't know, she used to be in the creative department as the Vice Director. When she left, the director was fired."
"Why does this sound like some workplace secret?"
" Su Yun, that's the one where the judge of the young designer competition was exposed for leaking the questions to the contestants, and then got fired."
"This video was circulated from behind the scenes. It was at the scene of the young designer competition where Jiang Xunzhi was identified as the one who leaked the questions. 'This woman not only looks like a star, but also has outstanding temperament. The key is that she speaks on stage without any stage fright and is logical.'"
"I feel like I'm a little obsessed with this older sister."
"Even if she's pretty, so what? It's all in vain if her values are not right. She's wasting her youth by not learning properly, instead learning how to seduce people. She's a social scum." This comment received thousands of likes.
Jiang Xunzhi I've read 80% of these comments, and most people are criticizing her for having wrong values and bad morals, dreaming all day about marrying into a wealthy family.
Jiang Nan sent a message: "How does it feel to be exposed online?"
Jiang Xunzhi replied, "Hehe."
Shen Siyi appeared opposite, mocking: "You still have the face to eat here. You're famous now. The online attention you're getting is much higher than Lu Yanci."
Jiang Xunzhi said, "Being able to top the trending searches is also my skill."
Shen Siyi said, "I know you're extremely clever. Su Yun went to the police station because of you, but don't overdo it. Be careful not to overplay your hand, or you'll end up in a terrible state."
Jiang Xunzhi said, "I never pretend. I am completely true to myself. There's no shortage of people laughing at me, and I won't regard you highly."
Shen Siyi said, "Haha, I know. After all, only a few people know the truth. Who else knows that you are now living in the Shen family Old Residence and that the woman who seduced the Shen president has moved into the Shen family Old Residence? What would the online comments be like if this news got out? I originally thought you were getting close to Shen Tingsi just for the money, but after you drove Su Yun away, I realized that you didn't want money. That night when you asked me if I killed Jiang Xunzhi, I already guessed it."
Jiang Xunzhi said, "Tell me more."
Shen Siyi said, "To be precise, the person behind you is the real mastermind."
Jiang Xunzhi said, "Do you guess who the person behind me is?"
Shen Siyi said, "How could I easily tell you? Dad will be back in a few days. You shouldn't expect to stay here. He won't allow a woman like you to stay in the Shen family."
Jiang Xunzhi said, "I'm here at A Si's arrangement. If he doesn't drive me away, I will still stay here. He likes me, not you. Even if you use all means, you still can't make him like you."
One after another, she just wants to make Shen Siyi furious to death. Whenever it comes to Shen Tingsi, she loses her rationality and acts purely on instinct. Now she wants to physically attack someone.
Shen Siyi stepped forward, making a waving gesture, but Jiang Xunzhi intercepted her right hand, pulled her head down onto the table, and pressed down hard, making Shen Siyi almost unable to breathe. Shen Siyi grabbed her wrist, but she seemed not to feel the pain and continued to exert force. After a while, she released her hand, coldly smiling. Shen Siyi felt that the person in front of her was like a lunatic. She had almost been killed just now, and she was now afraid of her, so she quickly ran away.
Shen Siyi's fleeing figure drew a few cold laughs from Jiang Xunzhi.
The servant next to them watched the scene just now and was also quite frightened. They saw Miss Wan, who is usually quiet and gentle, forcefully pressing Shen Siyi onto the table with merciless eyes, as if she were at the mercy of others.
Since Jiang Xunzhi moved into the Shen family Old Residence, some of the servants have intentionally or unintentionally spoken ill of her behind her back. Shen Siyi also added fuel to the fire, telling them that Jiang Xunzhi is a kept woman, promiscuous, and morally corrupt, instructing them to make things difficult for her at home.
They have often bullied Jiang Xunzhi. When Uncle Yuan is not around, they make her do the housework, clean, and even deliberately place some scary bugs in her bedroom. But she is the one being bullied, and she is a guest invited by Shen Tingsi. A guest should act like a guest. As for housework and pranks, she reports directly to Shen Tingsi and lets him handle it personally.
Shen Tingsi directly dismissed those who badmouthed and bullied Jiang Xunzhi's subordinates, warning them: "If you don't work properly, you're out." Shen Tingsi's intervention was effective; they dared not bully Jiang Xunzhi anymore. However, they still gossiped privately.
Now, with this new news, some people are secretly laughing somewhere. When Shen Siyi appeared just now, those subordinates wanted to see Jiang Xunzhi embarrassed, humiliated, but it turned out that Shen Siyi was the one who felt embarrassed. Witnessing her strength, they now act and speak cautiously in her presence, fearing to provoke her and accidentally get themselves in trouble.
Jiang Xunzhi continued eating breakfast, unaffected by the recent events. The online news continued to spread, and everyone went to Lu Yanci's Weibo to express concern and offer comfort.
the Shen Group The official account has received comments in the hundreds of millions, and the official response was just a brief statement: "We are verifying the situation." the Shen The official phone lines have been ringing off the hook since 6 a.m. this morning, with the customer service department receiving eight calls per second.
Lu Yanci Talent Agency is under the Shen, and their own economic department's phone lines have also been inundated. Lu Yanci saw this news right after returning to the hotel from a recent fashion show abroad.
Upon seeing this, he immediately instructed his agent to buy the earliest flight ticket and to contact Jiang Xunzhi. However, Jiang Xunzhi had already gone to sleep at this time, as it was daytime abroad and nighttime in the country.
Lu Yanci returned to the country at 11 am and immediately went to the headquarters of the Shen. At 12 pm, the Shen officially released news. Ms. Wan Qingran has a normal relationship with the Shen CEO Shen Tingsi and Shen Yuhua Entertainment company artist Lu Yanci, and it is not as improper or unethical as everyone is saying. Furthermore, Mr. Lu Yanci is the second son of the Shen Group, so please do not believe the rumors.
Once this news came out, Lu Yanci directly made it to the top of the hot search list on major platforms, and his fan base doubled at an incredible speed. The discussion heat has already overwhelmed the incident involving Wan Qingran. The online trend is artificially manipulated, with one piece of news far exceeding the explosiveness of another. As a result, the public gradually forgets and ignores it, turning to focus on another piece of news. Jiang Xunzhi saw the official news from the Shen and felt happy. Thinking about how Shen Siyi would react, it's probably infuriating. Even Lu Yanci posted on Weibo, saying that the three of them are just friends, and the photo was taken at a gathering when she had too much to drink and was escorted to the hotel by a female friend. The photo was taken casually and she didn't know why it was posted online, and it was also spread by others' rumors.
After he made this statement, his fans came out in support one after another.
"I believe in my boy Xiaolu. His personal life is very clean, and everyone in the industry says so. He wouldn't be friends with any strange people."
"I also support Lu Yanci."
"the Shen family Both young masters came out to clarify, saying that the girl in the photo is just a friend and there is no seduction involved. Everyone should think about who Shen Tingsi is, the president of the Shen Group, to have Mr. Shen personally post to explain that this girl is definitely just a good friend." Below are all supportive and praising words. Jiang Xunzhi only now feels the power of a celebrity, she goes to open Shen Tingsi's Weibo and sees that he had just reposted the Shen official news a few minutes ago, with a caption saying: "If anyone spreads rumors and causes trouble again, the Shen legal team will sue you."
They have brought out the legal team, the lawyers of the Shen family are among the best in the industry, and even the online trolls dare not casually make trouble.
Today the sunshine is delightful, and the mood is very good. Jiang Xunzhi even changed into a white chiffon dress and is enjoying the cool breeze in the backyard, eating strawberries one by one. Life is simply too good.
It's April, and the weather in City A is gradually getting hotter, but it's still relatively cool in the morning and evening. Uncle Yuan is worried that Jiang Xunzhi might catch a cold from the temperature changes, so he brought her a shawl. Jiang Xunzhi sees that he is also in a good mood and asks him why he is so happy.
He said, "I am happy that the identity of the young master has been made known to the public. His mother passed away when he was 10 years old, and he was almost kidnapped at the age of 11. Concerned that he might be in danger again, the master changed his name and sent him abroad to study. He only returned last year."
Jiang Xunzhi was surprised to learn that Lu Yanci had been kidnapped before. The Shen family is wealthy and naturally attracts the attention of criminals, but these criminals must have carefully chosen their target. The Shen family's bodyguards are all skilled in combat, some even retired special forces, so it's no problem for one to take on several of these criminals. Can these criminals really match the skills of the Shen family's bodyguards?
"You may not know the young master's previous name. He used to be called Shen Yunfan, a name given to him by his mother."
Jiang Xunzhi said, "So it's Yunfan, huh? His brother's name sounds a bit domineering and aloof, and in real life, he is indeed quite cold. But this name sounds approachable, and he himself is not that amiable, don't you think?"
Uncle Yuan said, "The elder young master appears cold but is warm-hearted and friendly. The second young master occasionally shows a bit of temper, but he's not too spoiled. When he was a child, he was a warm and affectionate kid. At that time, he liked to be held by his brother the most. Even when Madam wanted to hold him, he wouldn't let her and insisted on his brother holding him."
Jiang Xunzhi said, "It sounds like he's a little boy who knows how to act cute."
Uncle Yuan said, "At that time, he was really good at acting spoiled. Madam scolded and hit him, but when I was present, I would protect him. He was also quite close to me. However, since Madam passed away, the old master remarried, and everything at home changed. The second young master is no longer as happy as before. He plays games in his room all day, and when he comes home from school, I see him limping and his clothes are dirty. I'm sure he's been fighting with others at school. I told the master, and he sent his subordinates to check the school, but after a few days, the second young master still came home with bruises. The situation was never resolved, and the master even blamed him for causing trouble."
Jiang Xunzhi said, "Why is his father not protecting his own son? If it were me, I would directly go to the school, find the person who hit him, and make him pay."
Uncle Yuan said, "After the second young master was kidnapped, the master regretted it. The kidnappers almost killed him, but thanks to Jiang Nan's advice, the second young master was saved."
Jiang Nan is full of bad intentions, how could she possibly save Lu Yanci. Jiang Xunzhi deliberately asked, "Who is Jiang Nan?" Uncle Yuan replied, "She is the current wife of the master."
Jiang Xunzhi asked curiously, "Uncle Yuan, isn't this the Shen family Old Residence? Why haven't we seen Jiang Nan living here, and even Mr. Shen isn't here."
Uncle Yuan replied, "It seems that both the elder young master and the second young master didn't agree to her living here, so the old master couldn't insist and had to buy a place outside to live with Jiang Nan. But the old master comes back here to stay for a few days every year. He will come here tomorrow. I wonder if the second young master and the others will come back?"
There seems to be some hidden information behind this news. Jiang Xunzhi said lightly, "They should come back. Don't worry, Uncle Yuan. Yunfan will be home soon. Doesn't he love pineapple cakes the most? Go prepare some for him."
Uncle Yuan heard that Shen Yunfan was coming home, and he quickly ran to the kitchen to instruct the baker to make pineapple cakes first. Seeing him so happy, Jiang Xunzhi couldn't help but smile too. While she was talking to Uncle Yuan, Shen Yunfan messaged her, saying he would be at the doorstep in half an hour. Jiang Xunzhi went back to the balcony to read a comic book, which roughly depicted the daily school life of childhood sweethearts who secretly liked each other but didn't express their feelings.
A voice suddenly sounded behind her, three parts stern, seven parts caring: "What are you looking at? You're so engrossed that you didn't even hear the knocking at the door."
Upon hearing this voice, she immediately turned around and calmly said, "Comic books, do you want to read them?"
He frowned and said, "With such a big thing happening, you can still laugh."
She calmly said, "No matter how big the problem is, we should always stay optimistic. These days, I've been very busy with work, how about you?"
He walked over to her and sat in the rocking chair beside her, "It's alright. In the future, I will be taking on the position of vice president at the Shen. I won't pursue the path of a star anymore. I never had much interest in the Shen's business. My brother is more capable than me and has a natural talent for business. I'm content with being a star, isn't that good enough?"
"I don't think being a star is easy either. Stars without capital are just commodities for others to choose from," Jiang Xunzhi added, "I've been messaging you these past few days, but you never replied. Are you avoiding me?" She gazed at him with a puzzled look, holding her gaze on his face for two seconds before turning to a comic book.
Just now, in those two seconds, he suddenly appeared, causing him to feel a little flustered: "Aren't you dating My brother.? We should keep an appropriate distance."
"You shouldn't be saying that I'm your brother's kept woman, right? Instead, you should be saying that I'm your brother's girlfriend," she said with a faint smile.
"My brother. is not the kind of person who keeps a mistress. Even if the outside world doesn't understand him, as his younger brother, I understand him. He takes relationships very seriously, otherwise how could he have taken you back to the old mansion," Shen Yunfan muttered, not realizing the problem with his words.
Jiang Xunzhi explained, "He brought me home, first for protection. Nan Shiye is still looking for me. It's safer here at the Shen family Old Residence. Haven't you noticed the bodyguards outside occasionally appearing in the vicinity? Second, it's to draw out Shen Siyi's words. I moved in here to make it seem like your brother brought back his girlfriend. In reality, it's just for show. Didn't I tell you before that your brother asked me to investigate Jiang Xunzhi's cause of death? Last time, Su Yun told me in the detention center that she suspected Jiang Xunzhi was killed by Shen Siyi because the key was given by Shen Siyi to deliver to the coffee shop owner. So, I took you to that coffee shop because it's related to Shen Siyi. I was gathering information."
Shen Yunfan angrily said, "You didn't say that at all. You only said Su Yun took the key to that coffee shop. You didn't mention that the key was instructed by Shen Siyi to be delivered to the coffee shop owner. I distinctly remember your words at that time."
Is that so? She tried to recall and indeed, it seemed to be true.
"I know, because I deliberately didn't tell you. If I had told you, you would definitely have confronted Shen Siyi in person. Your temper is easy to arouse suspicion, so I chose to only tell you half, half to pique your curiosity, and half to keep you rational." Jiang Xunzhi remained calm.
"You really don't trust me like this?"
She nodded, "Because I know your temperament, you act recklessly."
"You almost got Shen Siyi to talk."
"Almost, but she's still very guarded. It's not easy to approach her right now. The owner of that coffee shop is Nan Shiye, he definitely knows something."
"My brother doesn't allow you to meet Nan Shiye, and neither do I. He's a dangerous person. Anyone in City A who knows him wouldn't dare to provoke him easily." After a moment of thought, he continued, "You said you moved in here just to make it look like you and My brother are in a relationship, so you're not actually in a relationship. Why do you have to move in to get Shen Siyi to talk?"
He suddenly saw the light when he thought it over. "Shen Siyi likes my brother." Jiang Xunzhi felt that his brain was a bit slow, but still somewhat relieved that he could figure it out on his own.
"Yes, Shen Siyi likes your brother, and she likes him very much. That night I tried to ask her, whenever I mentioned your brother, she seemed hesitant to speak, but also easily provoked by my words."
