After being apart for over six months, their pent-up desire knew no bounds. Like two tireless beasts, they were passionately and wildly entangled until nightfall.
After resting for most of the day, they got up, had a shower, and Jian Suiying urged Li Yu to wash the sheets and cook by kicking his butt.
Such mundane tasks were never undertaken by Young Master Jian. He lounged on the sofa, stuffing grapes into his mouth as he watched Li Yu bustle about.
Compared to their previous encounters, which were mostly just for sex, they now resembled a couple, genuinely enjoying each other's company.
Having missed work for over a week, the office had piled up tasks. The moment Jian Suiying sat down, she worked nonstop until noon without leaving her chair.
from morning until noon.
After lunch, Xiao Linzi arrived, his expression somewhat heavy.
Jian Suiying glanced up at him before returning to her documents, asking casually, "What's up?"
"Bro, I contacted that couple today about the land for the feed factory. I asked them to send me the new proposal, but they said..."
Jian Suiying asked, "What did they say?"
"They said they don't want to cooperate anymore."
Jian Suiying paused, slowly lifting his head. He narrowed his eyes and repeated the question, "What did they say?" "They said they don't want to cooperate anymore."
Jian Suiying never imagined hearing such news. This was a win-win opportunity with virtually no costs involved—and they were walking away?
"Why?"
"Apparently, a private equity firm offered them twenty million in venture capital funding, so they no longer wish to partner with us."
"Damn it." Jian Suiying cursed angrily, slamming her fist on the table. "Those two idiots aren't fucking messing with me, are they?!"
!"
Jian Suiying was so furious he could have beaten them to death.
His buddy was usually pretty tough, but once he heard the details and realized it was his sister-in-law and her husband who were at fault
He immediately wilted, stammering an apology and joining in the tirade against the couple.
After hanging up, he was still seething. The thought of all his hard work going down the drain, that huge plot of land slipping through his fingers—he just couldn't calm down.
.
Jian Suilin stood stiffly beside him, listening to his curses and the banging on the phone without uttering a word.
Li Yu entered.
Jian Suiying's face was dark and stormy—anyone could tell something was wrong.
Li Yu glanced at him, then at Jian Suilin, and asked, "What's going on?" Jian Suying turned to Xiaolinzi and said, "You tell him."
Jian Suilin repeated the incident.
Li Yu showed no surprise. After a moment's thought, he said, "This matter... it's difficult for you to broach with my brother. I'll speak with him."
Jian Suiying had been fuming over this for ages. He'd even considered having Jian Suiying investigate that private equity firm and
and then sabotage those two.
But then he reconsidered—after all, they were related by marriage. If he went too far, it would be awkward.
Jian Suiying was furious, but thinking of that prime piece of land, he couldn't bring himself to let it go. Still, he knew this matter had to end here.
.
On his first day back at work, he received such infuriating news that it completely ruined his mood for the entire day.
.
He motioned for both of them to sit down and discussed with Li Yu how to approach Li Xuan without causing further complications.
After half an hour of discussion, the three of them finally had a plan.
Jian Suiying didn't want to discuss this unfortunate matter any further and inquired about the progress of other work.
"Sure."
Jian Suiying sighed, wearily pinching the bridge of his nose. "Alright, you go ahead and get back to work." Jian Suilin left promptly, leaving Li Yu seated on the sofa opposite him.
Jian Suiying stumbled over and slumped against him, sighing wearily from exhaustion. Li Yu massaged his temples.
Jian Suiying sighed, "Li Yu, you see, making money is no easy feat. All day long, I run into unreliable people. Not only is it time-consuming and exhausting, but it's also infuriating. Damn it."
Li Yu looked at his weary face and suddenly glimpsed a rare hint of vulnerability in this man. He wanted to offer some words of comfort, but his throat felt blocked, and no sound came out.
