CHAPTER 156: CHAPTER 154: THE RICHEST MAN GETS REJECTED AT THE DOOR

Jian Xi didn’t accept Si Yuhuan’s invitation to dinner but went straight to Fuyuan Official Residence. His car followed her the entire way.

The taxi driver frequently glanced back. "Miss, is that man behind us a suitor?"

A luxurious custom sports car with sequential license plates... people like that are rare even in Beijing. Definitely a high-profile individual.

"No, he’s a harasser," Jian Xi said indifferently, glancing at the rearview mirror.

Such a cool and handsome harasser. While some die of drought, others drown in floods. This young lady lives in Fuyuan Official Residence, one of the most expensive properties around. It’s the king of residential complexes, absurdly expensive—650,000 per square meter. Each building starts at tens of millions. I guess she must be someone of status as well. Looking closely, why does she seem somewhat familiar?

"Hey, Miss, are you..."

"Driver, I’ve arrived."

Jian Xi got out of the car briskly, not giving him a chance to ask.

Still curious, the driver turned his head. He saw Si Yuhuan getting out of his car and pointed at him in shock. "Si, Si..." He couldn’t utter another word for a long moment.

Si Yuhuan walked past the driver and strode briskly into the residential complex. Eventually, a security guard stopped him.

The security guard braced himself and said, "Sorry, Director Si, you’re not a resident of this complex and are not allowed to enter."

"How am I not a resident? The woman who just went in is my wife!" Si Yuhuan arrogantly put his hands on his hips, pointing at Jian Xi’s retreating figure.

The security guard scratched his head. "Who doesn’t know you’re already divorced!"

Si Yuhuan was speechless. Momentarily caught off guard, his domineering aura completely vanished.

The security guard hunched his shoulders slightly and continued hesitantly, "Moreover, Miss Jian specifically instructed that you are not allowed inside!"

Good for you, Jian Xi, targeting me, huh! Si Yuhuan let out a laugh of exasperation. He pressed his tongue against his back molars and chuckled mirthlessly. "She’s really got guts!"

The taxi driver behind him was furiously snapping photos. This was a once-in-a-lifetime sight! The country’s top tycoon, actually denied entry! This could definitely make big news!

「The next morning.」

The headline "Tycoon Si Yuhuan Denied Entry" appeared on the front pages.

When Yan Qing arrived with the news, Si Yuhuan had already seen it. He angrily smashed his phone. "Call Fenghuang Entertainment right now! I don’t want to see any front-page headlines about me. If they can’t even handle this small matter, they can forget about receiving any further investment."

"Yes, sir!" Yan Qing immediately left to take care of it.

Abroad, Jian Chuxin saw this news and laughed so hard his sides hurt. My little sister really did well! Truly worthy of being Jian Chuxin’s sister! Still, two billion was too much to pass up! A rare opportunity to fleece a big spender.

"Go on, find some other entertainment news to replace it. Get my brother-in-law—no, that big spender—off the trending topics."

After all, he was an international top-tier celebrity; his influence was undeniable. Before long, Si Yuhuan’s trending topic vanished.

But its disappearance didn’t mean it had never existed. Although fleeting, Jiang Qimeng still saw it.

Xiang Yao, who was in the hospital, also saw it. She was so angry she nearly went insane.

The court hearing was imminent. She had suffered disfiguring injuries and was also facing accusations of defamation and hiring a hitman. The thugs hired by the Xiang Family to target Wan Yu had already given their confessions, admitting the Xiang Family paid them to "teach Wan Yu a lesson," a confrontation that nearly turned fatal. This was a grave crime. With all these charges combined, the Xiang Family was in for serious trouble. Xiang Yao’s parents were so furious they wanted to strangle her.

She hurriedly called Jiang Qimeng. "Sister Meng, things are bad! There’s a huge problem!"

Jiang Qimeng, of course, knew something serious had happened. The gossip about Si Yuhuan had been rampant, and though quickly suppressed, she had recognized the location: Fuyuan Official Residence! Si Yuhuan had actually followed Jian Xi to Fuyuan Official Residence and hadn’t even managed to get inside. She knew all too well what this meant.

Si Yuhuan regretted it. He wanted to win Jian Xi back! This was absolutely impossible!

"Yaoyao, I’m so sorry I haven’t been able to visit you recently," Jiang Qimeng said, her voice catching in a sob. "You’ve seen it too... Yuhan, now he... Jian Xi is meticulously planning every step, backing me into a corner. She’s not planning to let anyone off the hook—not me, not the Xiang Family, nobody."

"We absolutely can’t let Director Si get back together with her!" Xiang Yao grew even more anxious. Si Yuhuan must be on our side!

"Sister Meng, I want to take a desperate gamble. I don’t know if you’d be willing to..."

...

Jian Xi was in a good mood. Her grandfather had awakened, and the exhibition was tomorrow. Everything was ready, and Yaowang was about to step onto a new platform.

Her elder brother, Jian Mingcheng, had just called to tell her that the factory in W Country was complete and about to start production. The documents she had obtained from Haohan Group had been analyzed. When compared with Jian Mingcheng’s findings, the results were promising. Haohan Group’s next R&D and production focus would be a breakthrough in chip technology, targeting developed countries, aiming for the pinnacle, and challenging the strongest in the entire field.

She was profoundly shaken upon hearing this. To be honest, Si Yuhuan was exceptionally talented, a business prodigy with a unique vision. Jian Xi felt that if not for the advantages of her rebirth, she couldn’t imagine how miserably she would have died.

The Yaowang exhibition commenced grandly. The venue was Beijing’s most prestigious Tianfu Convention and Exhibition Center. The classic, open-air grand stage could accommodate tens of thousands of people.

The repeated delays of the exhibition had the entire fashion world looking on with keen anticipation and hope, especially since Jian Xi—the breakout unofficial spokesperson who had shone so brightly on Phoenix Night—was truly dazzling.

Jian Xi wore a red leather miniskirt and black ankle boots. Her sharp bob and exquisite makeup gave her an aura that was both coolly stylish and strikingly alluring. Her long, shapely legs were crossed as she leaned against the red Porsche her elder brother had given her. When Li Bin saw her, he immediately hurried over to greet her.

"CEO Jian, everything is running smoothly, and the guests are satisfied. We were just waiting for you," he said.

Today’s CEO Jian seemed to have made a special effort with her appearance. He already knew she was beautiful, but he hadn’t expected that, once fully done up, she would be breathtakingly gorgeous. Li Bin didn’t dare to look any longer.

Live streams, broadcasts, video cameras, photographers—an endless stream of media personnel pushed their lenses toward Jian Xi. She greeted everyone with a smile. "Hello, everyone. I’m Jian Xi, the CEO and Chairman of Yaowang. I hope you will all follow Yaowang closely in the future."

Her voice was sweet. As she blinked at the camera, the tiny rhinestones adhered near her eyes sparkled with her movements, radiating a captivating allure that had male viewers in front of their screens practically jumping with excitement.

This woman was too beautiful! Beautiful enough to make every other woman who passed by her pale in comparison.

The next second, a large hand appeared, wrapping around her slender waist and leading her inside. A massive shadow fell over her. Jian Xi, surprised, looked up along the arm to Si Yuhuan’s infuriatingly handsome face—one that could make both gods and men jealous. She couldn’t help but widen her eyes and try to elbow him.

You bastard! Are you courting death?!

Si Yuhuan had anticipated this and caught her elbow firmly.

"You’re causing such a commotion that even Grandfather is watching the livestream. You don’t want him to know we’re divorced, do you?"

"I..."

"With the country’s top tycoon here to support your event, what do you have to lose?"
