On the surface it seemed like nothing, but in reality there was a turbulent undercurrent. Yu Nian felt that the string in her heart had been stretched. She didn't know when the string would break, but she knew that it might not be far away from breaking.
Jiang Nianyan was sitting in the car, with no intention of getting out of the car. Without anyone else around, he couldn't hide his incest towards Si Tingyuan.
This move is aimed at the Jiang family's strength. Jiang Nianyan is indeed superior to Si Tingyuan. But that doesn't mean Si Tingyuan will give up on Jiang Nian Banquet. The Si family's territory is in Shanghai, so they can still suppress the Jiang family to some extent.
"Master Yan." Si Tingyuan struck preemptively, "Since Miss Yu and the Jiang family have terminated their engagement, I will send Miss Yu back without bothering you."
Even without looking at Jiang Nianyan, Yu Nian could feel the coldness in his eyes, and he felt extremely panicked. She wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say.
Jiang Nianyan's gaze passed indifferently across Si Tingyuan's face and landed on Yu Nian's face. He ignored Si Tingyuan's words and said calmly, "Yu Nian, get in the car."
The tone was extremely low, as if the pressure was so low that it was suffocating. Yu Nian didn't want to offend Jiang Nianyan, so he could even ignore Si Tingyuan's words, which showed that Jiang Nianyan was confident.
Yu Nian gently took out his hand and said, "Mr. Si, you——"
"Master Yan, don't you want to be an adult?" Si Tingyuan said abruptly, not intending to give in.
This time, Jiang Nianyan's eyes fell on Si Tingyuan's face, as cold as frost.
Yu Nian felt excited and looked at Si Tingyuan subconsciously.
Si Tingyuan smiled lightly and said, "My fair lady, I love Miss Yu. I know that she is no longer engaged, and I plan to pursue Miss Yu. With Master Yan's current situation and identity, I think I can't interfere in this matter." , so it’s not as good as adult beauty.”
Yu Nian choked for breath and felt dizzy.
She didn't know whether Si Tingyuan did it intentionally because he couldn't stand Jiang Nianyan's behavior or if he really had plans to pursue her, but no matter what, it would be a disaster for her.
Unless Jiang Nianyan voluntarily gives up, or Si Tingyuan really intends to compete with Jiang Nianyan.
For her sake, do you want to contend with Jiang Nianyan's forces?
Yu Nian felt that she was not confident enough to let Si Tingyuan hook up with the entire Si family. After all, she did not believe that Si Tingyuan loved her deeply.
In this case, why harm people?
"Mr. Si, thank you for your kindness, but I can't go with you." Yu Nian said softly.
Si Tingyuan looked stunned, stared at her, lowered his head slightly and whispered in her ear, "I'm helping you."
"Mr. Si, you can't help me."
Relying on the strength of others will not work after all. Yu Nian understands this, and Jiang Nianyan understands this even more, so he is so unscrupulous.
Si Tingyuan looked at her for a moment, "How do you know I can't help you if you don't try? Maybe you can trust me for once."
Yu Nian tried his best to squeeze out a smile and said softly, "Mr. Si, let me solve it myself." After saying that, she nodded slightly to him as a farewell, and then got into Jiang Nianyan's car.
She was grateful for Si Tingyuan's help, but she could only be grateful. She couldn't use him to achieve a certain purpose, which was very unfair to Si Tingyuan.
If Si Tingyuan was interested in her, she couldn't use him for anything. She couldn't return the favor.
When she got on the car, Jiang Nianyan looked up at Si Tingyuan and said politely and distantly, "Goodbye, Mr. Si."
When the window was raised, the temperature in the car suddenly dropped.
Yu Nian felt that the coldness was pervasive.

Qiao Min and Yu Juanzhou bumped into each other.
In the same restaurant, in the same private room on the same floor. The two boxes were next to each other, and no one could see the other. However, when Qiao Min left the box to make a phone call, the door of the box next to her was half open. There was a lot of noise inside, and some people were saying, "Boss Yu, you can drink so much." No, it seems like they are not sincere in cooperating with us."
Then I heard someone say vaguely, "No, no, no, Mr. Fang, you have to allow me to slow down."
Someone from the agency invited Qiao Min to dinner today. It was a certain popular girl who wanted to be on the cover of a magazine and be featured in two issues. The other agent’s agent had made appointments with Qiao Min several times. Today was a meeting, so she specially ordered this. One of the best creative restaurants in Jiabei City.
Qiao Min generally didn't want to make dinner appointments, and would rather just talk about it in a cafe. But this kind of thing involved a lot of details, so it was better to talk while eating. The popular little girl at the dinner was also quite good at making things happen. Sister Qiao Min called out to her and took the initiative to raise a glass for a toast.
Although she is just a little girl, Qiao Min is very optimistic about her, and the next few dramas will be with front-line teams. As long as she doesn't commit suicide, her career can reach a higher level.
During the dinner, Xiaohua's agent mentioned Ji Zi's agent, saying that he was still running around about Ji Zi's affairs, and it was obvious that he wanted to take a gamble with Ji Zi.
Qiao Min asked insinuatingly about Ji Zi's current situation. Xiaohua didn't express her position during the whole process, but her agent was quite eloquent and seemed to have a lot of wisdom.
"You won't starve to death if you don't work for a year or two. After all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. But in the entertainment industry, new people come out in large numbers every day. Who really dares not to do business for a year or two? It's not like he won a lifetime achievement award, no. If you publish a few works while you are still young, it will be easily forgotten.”
That's right.
But the manager was also smart and capable. He knew that he finally got an appointment with Qiao Min, so there was no need to waste time talking about gossip, so he focused on talking about their artists.
Qiao Min came out to answer the phone just to take a breather. She personally didn't like to interact with people in the entertainment industry, but due to the nature of her work and having to deal with people in the entertainment industry frequently, she had to be willing no matter how unwilling she was.
Only then did he see Yu Juanzhou.
Through the crack of the half-open door, Yu Juanzhou leaned on his chair in a drunken state. There were many people in the box. One of them stood up and raised a glass, trying to drink with Yu Juanzhou. It seemed that the other party also drank a lot, and they were talking. They were all drunk.
Many people at the table booed.
Qiao Min looked at this posture and sighed heavily.
Since Yu Juanzhou took over the Yu family's dilapidated business, socializing has become much more visible to the naked eye. Of course, there is no one who does business without socializing, especially in North China, where the culture of drinking and drinking is very important.
When Yu Yiyuan was young, he had a lot of social activities. Later, after becoming the richest man in Jiangnan, he had more choices and control, so Yu Yiyuan would move more social activities to the teahouse. Of course, this is also related to the culture of the north and the south. Differences are related.
Qiao Min didn't want to go out for air, so she turned back, but went straight to the box where Yu Juanzhou was, stood outside for a while, roughly recognized the people inside through the half-open door, and then opened the door and went in.
"Mr. Fang? It's really you. I mean, the voice sounded so familiar outside. Isn't it a coincidence?"
Mr. Fang, who was trying to persuade me to drink, looked up and said happily, "Hey, isn't this the beautiful editor-in-chief? What kind of wind blew you here today?"
Then he introduced him to other people at the wine table, and he kept his tongue open during the introduction. The other people at the wine table also knew Qiao Min to some extent. Even if they had no contact, they had heard her name, and they all said hello one after another.
Yu Juanzhou didn't expect to bump into Qiao Min here, and looked up at her with a bit of surprise in his eyes.
Qiao Min glanced at him, then looked at Mr. Fang, "I was having a party with friends in the private room next door. I first heard Mr. Fang's voice. When I came in, I saw that you were drinking with my brother."
After she finished speaking, she reached out and patted Yu Juanzhou's shoulder and signaled.
Mr. Fang was surprised, "Boss Yu is Editor-in-Chief Qiao's brother? A relative?"
"My good friend's younger brother is no different from my own brother." Qiao Min said directly, "Mr. Fang, is he going to drink with my brother? What's your drinking capacity? What's my brother's drinking capacity? I'm going to compete with you for drinking. You will definitely suffer."
Mr. Fang laughed heartily, "Is Editor-in-Chief Qiao protecting Boss Yu? I think you feel distressed, right? Editor-in-chief Qiao, Boss Yu, please tell me honestly, are you in love?"
Before Yu Juanzhou could speak, Qiao Min took the initiative and said, "Mr. Fang, this is my innocent brother. If you say something wrong, you will be fined with alcohol."
After talking, he poured the wine.
Ten minutes later, Qiao Min was pulled out of the box by Yu Juanzhou. At the sink, Qiao Min iced her face with cold water. Yu Juanzhou stood behind her, took a clean face towel and handed it to her.
Qiao Min wiped her face after taking it. She didn't care about the makeup on her face. It was obvious that she drank a little too much. When she was throwing away the face towel, she staggered. Yu Juanzhou reached out to pull her, but failed to hold her back. The two of them stepped unsteadily at the same time, and then Qiao Min's back hit the wall.
Yu Juanzhou quickly reached out and put a pad on the back of her head, thus preventing the back of her head from hitting the wall.
In this way, the two of them were relatively close to each other, and when Yu Juanzhou lowered his head, she could see her blushing face.
He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Qiao Min, what kind of hero do you think you are trying to be? Did I ask you to come in and stop the wine?"
She was so fierce in blocking the drink. Although Mr. Fang was knocked down by her, she also drank several drinks in a row. If he hadn't pulled her out in time, she might have been drunk.
Qiao Min raised her eyes, looked at the handsome face close at hand, and laughed, "You are like that. If I don't come in... you will be useless. You are heartless and don't thank me."
"Thank you." Yu Juanzhou looked helpless, "But next time, don't barge in indiscriminately. I've already signed the contract, why do I have to fight with him? Is your head filled with water?"
He just didn't want to drink with Mr. Fang.
That Mr. Fang is just like Mr. Huang, he goes crazy when he sees alcohol. Mr. Fang's list was made by Yu Juanzhou himself, so today is a celebration. Just like what Yu Juanzhou said just now, the contract has been signed, and there is no need for him to go all out at the wine table, so he can pretend to be drunk if he can.
Who would have thought that Qiao Min could be a "beautiful hero"?
Qiao Min put her forehead against his chest and muttered, "What kind of water is in your head? It's all wine."
When Yu Juanzhou heard this, he got drunk.
-
Jiang Nianyan unexpectedly did not embarrass Yu Nian and actually ordered the driver to drive all the way towards her community.
Jiang Nianyan didn't speak during the whole journey, he just leaned on the car seat and closed his eyes to rest.
There was a faint smell of alcohol on his suit jacket. Yu Nian didn't know how much he drank with the group. He thought that he could avoid provoking them as long as they didn't provoke them. After all, they were on their territory.
So she didn't say anything.
Things were trivial on this day. She leaned on the car seat and looked out the window quietly. Large swaths of neon flew past her eyes, and dazzling light spots splashed on the glass.
Although the man next to her was oppressive, she seemed to be quite tired when she saw him. As time went by, she became less nervous.
Her eyes were lit by the lights of the city, and she gradually fell into deep thought.
She was thinking about what Si Tingyuan said today.
Judging from what he said, he was still willing to cooperate with the Yu family. Today's meeting was interrupted by Jiang Nian Yan Shengsheng. If Jiang Nian Yan did not show up today, the project cooperation might be explained more clearly.
But Yu Nian was not in a hurry.
Now that the attitude of the Yu family is there, and she has made it very clear, Jiang Cheng and the others will never give up, so the Si family should be at their wits end.
After all, the Si family cannot afford to wait on the road to opening up the overseas royal family. As the saying goes, the ship will turn around in a big disaster. Although the Si family has a lot of power and interests now, the more this happens, the less they dare to take risks with time, let alone as the Si family Tingye's plan failed, leaving less time for the Si family.
As soon as the contract with the Si family is signed, the Yu family can shift its industrial focus back to Jiangnan, because the Si family is in the Shanghai circle and will be the Yu family's largest partner.
"You don't accept Si Tingyuan's help, is it because you don't like him, or are you afraid that he will be implicated?"
Jiang Nianyan didn't speak slowly until he was approaching the community, but he shocked Yu Nian.
His tone was very calm, and his temperature had warmed up a lot compared to when he faced Si Tingyuan before.
The problem is tricky.
Yu Nian narrowed his eyes and answered truthfully, "Both."
"Both?" Jiang Nianyan suddenly smiled, "That means you have compassion for him."
"Even if you are an ordinary friend, I will still feel sympathy." Yu Nian raised his eyes to look at him.
Jiang Nianyan looked at her, and suddenly stretched out his hand to pull her over, his thin lips almost touching hers. He whispered word by word, "Not even ordinary friends. You are not allowed to have male friends with me."
"Master Yan, are you going to take away my right to make friends?" Yu Nian asked bravely.
Jiang Nianyan's thumb gently rubbed the back of her neck and chuckled, "Yu Nian, you have to understand that no man will just want to be friends with you. The so-called friends are all based on the premise that he wants you in the end."
Yu Nian's breath suffocated.
After a while she asked, "We're here, can I get off?"
Jiang Nianyan didn't stop her from getting off the car, which was quite beyond Yu Nian's expectation. Based on her understanding of him, even if he really wanted to let her go home, he would make things more difficult for her before getting off the car.
In his eyes, she was still an interesting prey, nothing more.
However, before Lucky Heart could be returned to its original position, Jiang Nianyan got out of the car and walked towards the unit door with her.
Yu Nian was stunned and stopped, "What do you want to do?"
Jiang Nianyan glanced at her and said indifferently, "Send you upstairs."
"No……"
"Otherwise, follow me back to the car."
All right.
Yu Nian shut up.
In this way, she walked in front and he followed, just like a shadow. After Yu Nian entered the elevator, he followed her in, pressed the elevator button for her, and then stood diagonally behind her.
At this moment, Yu Nian was in a trance, as if he had returned to the days when he was protected by Ayan.
