CHAPTER 134: CHAPTER 134: HAVING ENOUGH CAPITAL TO SAY GOODBYE

In the hospital, Xiang Yao cried hysterically as she was wheeled out post-surgery, barely clinging to life. Upon seeing Si Yuhuan, she crawled over to him. "Director Si, you must teach Wan Yu a lesson for me! She destroyed my face; my life is completely ruined now! Sob, sob, sob!"

Si Yuhuan furrowed his brows. "Did Wan Yu actively seek trouble with you two? And did she throw wine at Mengmeng?" he asked her.

Wan Yu threw wine?

Xiang Yao was utterly confused.

Jiang Qimeng seized the moment, grabbing her hand and giving her a pointed look. "Yaoyao, don’t be afraid. Speak confidently to Yuhan. He will take our side."

Xiang Yao immediately understood and nodded vigorously. "It was Wan Yu! She went crazy! As soon as she came in, she started flipping tables and throwing wine. Poor Sister Mengmeng was targeted and verbally abused by her. Wan Yu arrogantly said she wanted to use this chance to deal with both of us, and then the fight broke out."

She apologized, "It was my fault for not protecting Sister Mengmeng well, allowing her to get splashed with wine."

Wan Yu, since you were ruthless enough to ruin my face, I will make sure neither you nor your sister meets a peaceful end!

She guessed that Jiang Qimeng drinking wine must have seriously violated one of Si Yuhuan’s major taboos!

Looking up to see the rage sweeping Si Yuhuan’s eyes, she knew she had won her gamble.

Jiang Qimeng was secretly thrilled. It was worth teaching her for so long; she had finally learned a few things and knew what to say. She cried pitifully, "If Grandpa doesn’t make it, I don’t want to live either. Yuhan, it’s all my fault for not protecting myself well. Punish me."

As she spoke, she was about to kneel.

Si Yuhuan was quick to help her up.

Jiang Qimeng took the opportunity to collapse into his arms.

Jian Xi pushed open the door and saw the intimate scene between them.

It seemed she was still too late.

When Xiang Yao saw her, it was like seeing a mortal enemy. She screamed furiously, "Jian Xi, what on earth were you thinking, hiring someone to disfigure me? I’ll fight you with everything I have!"

Caught off guard, Jian Xi was nearly knocked over.

She braced herself against the nearby wall to protect her stomach, staring intently at Xiang Yao. "If you dare to hurt me today, I guarantee you won’t even know how you died."

The strength of a mother gave her an imposing, ice-cold aura.

Xiang Yao was stunned by her presence and didn’t dare to make another move.

Jian Xi’s stomach twinged with pain, and she couldn’t help but retreat a few steps, her small face scrunched up.

Jiang Qimeng’s eyes sparkled with cunning. Was what she had long dreamed of finally about to come true?

"Yuhan, the main culprit is right here!" Jiang Qimeng cried, covering her face with her hands. "Don’t you really want to find out the truth? Think about Grandpa; he’s lying right there, but no doctor is willing to treat him. Whose fault is all of this!"

"Jian Xi," Si Yuhuan said, his voice cold, "Wan Yu’s crimes are unforgivable."

At his command, Yan Qing led his men to call the police and take Wan Yu into custody.

"Si Yuhuan, you’re inhuman!" Jian Xi shouted. "Without investigating anything, you still only listen to her side of the story! Were all your promises to me just hot air?"

She longed to rush forward, to rip open his chest and see for herself why he only believed that vicious woman!

Jiang Qimeng was overwhelmingly smug. "Miss Jian, if Wan Yu hasn’t broken any laws, why would she fear an investigation?"

"She’s injured!" Jian Xi’s eyes reddened, and she trembled with anger, her eyes bloodshot.

It was her own arrogance. She’d thought that if she arrived in time, Si Yuhuan would listen to her explanation rationally and investigate the whole story. But she had forgotten what kind of man he was!

A man utterly bewitched by Jiang Qimeng, a man who had once tried to kill her!

Si Yuhuan avoided her gaze, not looking at her at all. He coldly said to the bodyguards, "Guard my wife closely. Take her back to the villa. Without my orders, no one is to contact her."

"Si Yuhuan, you’re going to lock me up again?!" Jian Xi’s eyes blazed with fury.

Si Yuhuan seemed to think of something. He narrowed his dark eyes and commanded, "Ensure no harm comes to her. Otherwise, I’ll hold all of you responsible."

These were skilled mercenaries hired from abroad; they had a hundred ways to keep someone alive yet suffering.

How could Jian Xi possibly contend with them?

She was violently restrained by the bodyguards.

A smirk touched Jiang Qimeng’s lips as she warned hypocritically, "Miss Jian, you’d better not struggle. These men don’t know how to be gentle. What if they hurt you?"

"Jiang Qimeng, you did this on purpose! You don’t want to save Grandpa!"

As Jiang Qimeng brushed past Jian Xi, she whispered into her ear, her voice audible only to them, "That’s right. You’re only just realizing? Did you think I didn’t know you’ve been trying to cause trouble for me lately? I only had to reveal a small flaw, and you eagerly rushed into my trap. It seems you’re not that smart after all—still so foolish!"

Jian Xi lunged forward but was forcefully held back by the bodyguards.

"Jiang Qimeng, I swear I won’t let you get away with this! I will make you repay today’s humiliation a hundredfold!"

Si Yuhuan ordered, "Tie her up now!"

Jiang Qimeng went over and touched Si Yuhuan’s elbow. "Yuhan, it’s okay. I’ll be careful she doesn’t hurt me. Tell the bodyguards to be gentle; Miss Jian is a woman, after all!"

Her words reminded Si Yuhuan that Jian Xi hadn’t been well recently and was emotionally fragile. He reluctantly forced himself to add, "Show some restraint."

HAH!

He really is at Jiang Qimeng’s beck and call!

That despicable man and that vile woman!

I’ll make you both pay for this!

Jian Xi, who had been struggling, suddenly allowed the bodyguards to escort her out of the hospital.

She looked back, giving Si Yuhuan one last, deep look.

That gaze was cold, like glacial ice, indifferent—utterly estranged.

Si Yuhuan didn’t know why his heart suddenly clenched painfully, as if it had been hollowed out, leaving him exceptionally uncomfortable.

Jiang Qimeng placed a hand on his chest. "Yuhan?"

He snapped back to reality, pushed Jiang Qimeng away to maintain a safe distance, and said, "You should head back first."

With that, he strode purposefully towards the villa where Dr. Sernosen was staying.

A cold smirk touched Jiang Qimeng’s lips. Just wait. The real show is just beginning. The position of Mrs. Si can only be mine!

Xiang Yao was still crying out in pain behind her.

Jiang Qimeng was in no mood to deal with her, so she arranged for a few caregivers.

"Tell her parents to come," she instructed.

If the Xiang Family comes and makes a scene, Si Yuhuan will probably have an even bigger headache.

And when I step in to resolve the issue, I’ll appear virtuous, capable, and kind.

Jiang Qimeng’s calculations were ticking along loudly.

After Jian Xi was dragged out by the bodyguards, before they could reach Si Yuhuan’s private villa, several cars pulled up ahead, and a group of brawny men in black emerged.

Before Si Yuhuan’s bodyguards could even utter a word after exiting their vehicle, the men in black attacked without warning, swiftly incapacitating them all.

Jian Xi stepped out of the car, her back straight. She cast a disdainful glance at one of the subdued bodyguards. "Go back and tell Si Yuhuan that he was the one who broke our agreement first. As of this moment, our marriage is over."

Her older brother had already secured the production and sales rights for the Haohan Chip in W Country.

The factory was complete, top-tier chip research personnel were in place, and with an inexhaustible supply of Silicon Crystal, her capital was now several times greater than Si Yuhuan’s. She finally had enough leverage to leave him for good.
