Jian Suiying knew this matter required stealth—he had to investigate quietly and slowly, lest he inadvertently offend someone.
He was genuinely enraged. Regardless of what shady dealings lay hidden within, anyone daring to play games with him, Jian Suiying, could forget about getting away with it.
He'd make sure those two didn't get a single pebble.
He first contacted Director Zhao, instructing him to find an excuse to hold up the documents and delay the process for a while. He then told him not to mention it to anyone.
Who exactly were they trying to shield from the truth about that private equity firm?
and a profound insult. He could afford the financial loss, but he couldn't swallow the humiliation.
He truly didn't want to suspect Li Xuan.
It made no sense whatsoever.
Could it be that he genuinely didn't know?
The moment this thought surfaced, Jian Suiying suppressed it. He knew Li Yu's efficiency—he never delayed anything past the morning
He wouldn't delay until the afternoon what he could finish that morning. Such a crucial matter, he couldn't possibly have failed to inform Li Xuan.
After turning this over in his mind, he was still filled with questions. With so many concerns weighing on him, he didn't dare rashly call Li Xuan
, leaving him utterly clueless.
With the situation escalating to this point, countless possibilities existed—yet each seemed utterly implausible.
Jian Suiying felt she must have overlooked something.
He felt every idea he considered contained internal contradictions.
This matter gave him a deep headache, plunging him into constant contemplation and investigation. He had twice postponed meeting with Li Yu.
.
By the third time, Li Yu finally lost his temper, slamming his desk in frustration. "What the hell is going on with you lately? I work here too—I don't feel like you're this busy."
Jian Suiying glanced at him with confusion, unsure how to explain. He couldn't very well say, "I suspect your brother took money from someone to help screw me over."
Li Yu frowned, feeling deeply unsettled.
Li Yu's expression finally softened. He toyed with Jian Suiying's long, slender fingers before lifting one to his lips.
"Is your swimming pool still not cleaned yet?"
Jian Suiying chuckled, pulling out his phone. "I'll have someone clean it now. Come over to my place tonight, okay, baby?"
Li Yu smiled, leaning down to brush a kiss against Jian Suiying's lips.
"Let's go to the supermarket together. What do you want to eat tonight?"
But I won't let him have his way...... Now I say it like that, I sound like such a stepmother... but that's not it at all... What am I even trying to say...
