Xin Ran stood behind Jiang Siyu, witnessing all her unwillingness and venom. She felt fortunate that her choice was not wrong, otherwise, given this woman's ruthlessness, if Wei Yumeng truly broke free from Zhan Mohan's protection, she would be tortured to suffering by her.
Even though Wei Yumeng did not choose her, it did not affect Xin Ran's firm decision to protect her.
"You look very unwilling."
As Jiang Siyu turned, Xin Ran changed his expression again. As Jiang Siyu's chosen partner, his acting was impeccable.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Siyu's expression turned from unwilling to fierce. "Of course, I'm unwilling. Ahan can only be mine. Even if he's not mine, I don't want any other woman by his side."
Xin Ran nodded in agreement. "As long as you don't do anything to harm Wei Yumeng, our cooperation will continue as usual."
"Of course, this is the premise of our cooperation."
While dealing with Xin Ran, Jiang Siyu sneered in her heart. How could she let Wei Yumeng go? As long as Ahan was gone, she wanted to see what that woman could use to contend with her.
In her eyes, Xin Ran was just a convenient pawn. Once her goal was achieved, he would naturally become a discarded piece.
"It's almost lunchtime. I wonder if Miss Jiang would be interested in having lunch with her partner? We need to discuss our subsequent cooperation in more detail."
Xin Ran extended an invitation to her, and she did not refuse. She was eager to see the day she had long anticipated.
The two found a restaurant and sat down. Xin Ran seemed more eager than she was to see Wei Yumeng and Zhan Mohan separated. This made Jiang Siyu very satisfied with her partner, and she could not help but express her thoughts more frankly and in detail.
"Ahan has invested a lot of funds in this project, but it's just a drop in the ocean for the entire Zhan Group. We must lure him into investing more to strike a decisive blow."
Xin Ran nodded in agreement, feeling a pang of pity for Zhan Mohan. Being admired by such a woman was truly a tiring affair.
"Miss Jiang, please share your insights. I don't know much about Zhan Mohan, so this matter still depends on you."
These words were very pleasing to Jiang Siyu. She liked it most when others emphasized her relationship with Zhan Mohan, allowing her to console herself.
However, people who live in self-imagination and satisfaction are truly pathetic.
"Ahan cares about that woman, and he cares even more about your relationship. In this matter, you need to provoke him more. He will not tolerate you investing more than him in this project, so he will naturally increase his investment. Therefore, it still depends on you."
Xin Ran nodded thoughtfully, feeling amused. So Jiang Siyu herself knew that Zhan Mohan's heart did not belong to her. Yet, she insisted on pursuing a relationship that had nothing to do with her, and even using Zhan Mohan's competitive spirit, which arose from Wei Yumeng.
He truly could not understand this woman's thought process. However, to avenge Wei Yumeng, he still had to deal with Jiang Siyu carefully.
After finishing their lunch, Jiang Siyu had clearly expressed her thoughts and plans. They had already formulated a plan during the meal.
What Jiang Siyu did not know was that after they parted ways, Zhan Mohan's phone immediately received an audio file.
Meanwhile, she went directly to the hospital to visit Jing Yan. This was an activity she had been doing every day recently. Not only did she visit Jing Yan, but she also personally took care of him, fed him, and cleaned his hospital room. In the eyes of outsiders, she was a remarkably sensible girlfriend.
Even Jing Yan, the man who had sworn he would no longer care about her, was deceived by her appearance. He even thought that the car accident had made her realize her deep affection, and she was beginning to accept him.
Every time he thought of this possibility, he was overjoyed, as if hope had returned from despair. Amidst his joy, he was also somewhat timid, hesitating to break the barrier between them.
Perhaps this is what it means to admire someone. Even if the person is fickle, you are willing to believe them time and again, gambling that among a hundred deceptions and manipulations, there might be one instance of true affection.
Because he was unwilling to miss out, he preferred to be deceived every time.
"Ayan, I've asked the doctor, and they said you're recovering very well. If there are no complications, you can be discharged this week."
Jiang Siyu seemed extremely surprised by his imminent recovery. In her excitement, she held his hand and asked if he was happy to hear the news.
"Siyu, thank you for taking care of me so well these past few days."
Jing Yan almost forgot that he was lying here thanks to the woman in front of him.
Jiang Siyu, on the other hand, looked remorseful. "It was my impulsiveness that caused you to get hurt. I'm doing this to compensate you."
Jing Yan seemed reluctant to discuss the matter. He stopped talking and stared at their clasped hands. Although their relationship had become closer during this time, such an action had never happened before.
Jiang Siyu also noticed his gaze and immediately withdrew her hand, her face showing a hint of shyness.
Jing Yan, who thought she would be angry about this, was afraid that this action would bring their newly warming relationship back to freezing point. Just as he was about to explain, he saw that her expression was not one of anger, and he was immediately taken aback.
"I just remembered the restroom hasn't been tidied yet. I'll go take a look."
Jiang Siyu quickly got up and fled as if in a panic, leaving Jing Yan with endless room for imagination.
This was precisely her brilliance. Knowing Jing Yan's feelings for her, she used this to create a facade of being equally devoted. If she could win Jing Yan's trust and make him obedient, she would have enough financial resources to bring down Zhan Group.
Jing Yan was indeed falling for it. Seeing her like this, he couldn't help but believe that his long-standing sincerity had moved Jiang Siyu.
However, she was, after all, a woman, so such matters would naturally be embarrassing to speak of, and she could only express it implicitly through her day-and-night care.
Jing Yan was truly being too presumptive. He was too eager to gain Jiang Siyu's approval, so as soon as she showed the slightest hint, he thought it was a done deal.
People are often blind to their own emotions. He could calmly analyze the relationship between Zhan Mohan and Wei Yumeng, but he could not see through Jiang Siyu's tricks.
He even called his assistant and asked him to prepare some gifts that women would like. When he was discharged, he planned to formally confess his feelings to Jiang Siyu.
