Chapter 63: Fake

Yang Tianyu’s feigned surprised expression is really annoying!!!

Guan Xi almost rolled her eyes: “Oh, he never brings his work home; it’s normal not to tell me some things.”

Ding—

The elevator arrived, and Guan Xi walked in.

Yang Tianyu followed and said, “It’s not just that, right? I guess it should be… he’s afraid you’ll break up with him if you know?”

Guan Xi frowned, “I don’t know what you’re trying to say. Just say it.”

At this moment, Yang Tianyu’s expression carried a hint of genuine emotion. It seemed like regret, but obviously, she was enjoying the drama. It was ambiguous, making people feel annoyed, “Our third brother, a year ago, snatched the technology sector from Jiayong. We thought it was okay if he did well. But it turns out, he can’t handle it at all. We only recently found out that he lost a lot of money there. I think he’s almost out of liquid assets to fill the pit he dug for himself.”

“…”

“Now, many shareholders and senior executives in the company are expressing dissatisfaction. The losses in the technology company this time, Jiang Suizhou can’t handle it himself. I don’t know how much money the parent company has to spend to remedy the situation.”

…

After the elevator went straight to the twenty-seventh floor, Yang Tianyu happily walked out.

The elevator doors closed, rising again.

Guan Xi looked at the rising numbers, and her brow gradually furrowed.

Broken capital chain? Losses? Remediation?

Yang Tianyu wouldn’t lie to her about such matters; after all, it’s easy to verify the truth with a simple question.

So, Jiang Suizhou probably really has a problem… but now, with his father about to step down, and the fierce competition among the sons at its peak, such an incident, causing shareholders and executives to express dissatisfaction and opposition, poses a significant threat to him.

He didn’t tell her about this matter, and it’s evident that he never intended to let her know.

Why?

Wouldn’t it be better for her to know? Perhaps she could help him.

On the thirty-second floor, they reached Jiang Suizhou’s office.

Guan Xi walked out, stood at the elevator door for a moment, and suddenly remembered something. She recalled that day when they talked about getting married; he mentioned waiting until he was less busy to tie the knot. Now, thinking about it, getting a marriage certificate is a simple matter. It’s not a grand wedding, so why delay it for a long time? Isn’t it just a matter of going to the civil affairs bureau?

So, could it be that he was already in such a situation back then? His issues weren’t resolved, and he didn’t want to involve her in marriage?

Guan Xi suddenly felt very upset. On one hand, Jiang Suizhou was keeping the truth from her, treating her like an outsider. On the other hand, there was Yang Tianyu; just the way she talked about Jiang Suizhou made her furious!

What’s this? Thinking her husband isn’t good enough, thinking her husband causes trouble?

Speechless! She’s spending his family’s money, eating his family’s rice! Look at her complaining! It’s just because she thinks Jiang Suizhou is benefiting from her husband! It’s a complete mockery of her husband! So infuriating!

“Miss Guan?” Just as Guan Xi stood there, torn between conflicting emotions, a group of people approached from the left corridor, and the one calling her was Zhou Hao.

And the person in front of this group, who else but Jiang Suizhou.

Seeing him, Guan Xi’s anger flared up.

“Why are you here?” Jiang Suizhou stopped in front of her and asked.

Guan Xi gave him a disdainful look and said, “Isn’t it almost time to get off work? I’m here to pick you up.”

Jiang Suizhou blinked and glanced at his watch, “It’s only three o’clock now.”

Guan Xi retorted, “Oh, then I’m just here to ask if you can leave work early.”

“I can’t go home today,” Jiang Suizhou said, “I was just about to call you. I need to go to the neighboring city now and will be back tomorrow.”

“So urgent?”

“Yeah, there’s something I need to handle.”

While speaking, Jiang Suizhou was also observing Guan Xi. From experience, her expression clearly indicated someone had provoked her. “You didn’t come here just to ask if you could leave early, did you? What’s really going on?”

With a group of people standing around, Guan Xi naturally wouldn’t bring up Yang Tianyu’s words. Instead, she directly opened her bag and said, “I brought you some food.”

“Food?”

“Made by Zhiyi. I find it delicious. Give it a try.” Guan Xi gestured to Zhou Hao, “I’ve brought it all. Since you’re leaving, you should take it with you.”

Zhou Hao quickly came over and took the thermos.

Guan Xi said coldly, “What time will you be back tomorrow?”

“Probably around noon.”

“Oh, then go and come back early. I’m going home first.”

“Are you upset?”

“No, it’s just a work matter.” After Guan Xi finished speaking, without waiting for Jiang Suizhou to say anything else, she quickly entered the elevator.

After isolating that group of people outside the elevator, she finally showed an annoyed expression. Back home, she initially wanted to send a long message to question Jiang Suizhou about what was going on. However, after writing for a while, she deleted it all one by one.

Jiang Suizhou is the kind of person who, if he doesn’t want to tell her something, won’t tell her. Even if she asks now, he will likely be evasive, saying a few vague and meaningless words to assure her that everything is fine.

Guan Xi remembered their past. In the past, when their relationship was only about mutual interests, she felt he was too indifferent and thought he didn’t love her. But now… when there’s no financial interest involved between them, she actually hopes he would speak up!

Because she doesn’t want to see him, who is usually proud and confident, fail. And she definitely doesn’t want to see him being ridiculed by others.

All along, he has been coaxing and supporting her, but in reality, she can do the same for him.

Yang Tianyu mocked, saying he sees her as a backup plan. What’s there to mock? Of course, she is his backup plan. No, not only that, she can also help him pave the way!

Guan Xi suddenly didn’t want to ask Jiang Suizhou anything. What’s the use of asking so much when she could just take direct action?

So, Guan Xi directly took out her phone and called Yang Qing, the assistant in the Guan family’s office.

“Hello, Miss Guan?” Yang Qing was surprised because it had been a long time since he received a call from Guan Xi.

“I have something for you to do.”

“Please tell me.”

“Help me gather a list of my assets, all of them.”

**

When Jiang Suizhou returned from the neighboring city, it was a little past eleven in the morning the next day. Because he had arranged to have lunch with Guan Xi at home, he instructed the driver to head towards Jialin Jingyuan.

Upon entering, he was greeted by the aroma of a meal. “You timed it so well?”

Guan Xi sat at the dining table and gestured to him, “You’re back. It’s time to eat.”

“Where’s Auntie?”

Guan Xi replied, “She left after finishing the cooking.”

Jiang Suizhou, not suspecting anything, walked behind her, ready to give her a hug. However, Guan Xi covered his face with her hand.

Jiang Suizhou: “…”

“Let’s eat. I don’t feel like being all lovey-dovey with you right now.”

Jiang Suizhou pulled her hand away, “What’s wrong?”

Guan Xi pulled him to sit down beside her, “Just eat. We’ll talk after.”

“What’s the matter?”

“We’ll discuss it later.”

Guan Xi’s expression was a bit serious, and since Jiang Suizhou couldn’t pry it out of her, he let her be. He picked up his chopsticks and started eating. While eating, Guan Xi glanced at Jiang Suizhou a few times, feeling a bit uneasy.

What a resilient guy Jiang Suizhou is. How did he manage to stay so composed in such a big situation? Thinking about these past few days, except for the night she came back when he mentioned feeling a bit tired, he didn’t show anything.

Jiang Suizhou also sensed Guan Xi’s unusual behavior. After finishing the meal, he sat in the living room, waiting for the young lady to speak.

He thought she might be upset about something or needed him to handle some matter. However, after pondering, he didn’t think there was anything significant. After all, if she had a serious issue, someone would inform him.

“Done eating. Can you tell me now?” Jiang Suizhou took a sip of water and casually asked.

Guan Xi didn’t answer but brought a bag from the room. Under Jiang Suizhou’s gaze, she swiftly emptied its contents onto the coffee table in front of him—red books, documents, contracts, and more.

Jiang Suizhou was stunned by the display. “What’s this?”

Guan Xi stood there and said, “My assets.”

“Hmm?”

Guan Xi straightforwardly explained, “Yang Qing helped me sort this out overnight. I don’t know many details, probably things my grandfather allocated to me. But regardless, these are mine, and it’s not a small sum.”

Jiang Suizhou raised an eyebrow, “What do you mean?”

“Just that. I want to say I have money, a lot of money! Previously, I just didn’t want to act, but if I do, it’s a significant amount. So, if you have any problems, you can come to me. I’m not someone who can only spend your money.”

“…”

“…”

The living room fell silent.

Seeing Jiang Suizhou remain silent, just looking at her, Guan Xi suddenly felt uneasy. But she tossed aside that feeling with her current impulsiveness and passion, “Why aren’t you saying anything? I’m not joking.”

Jiang Suizhou gestured for her to come over, “Come here.”

Guan Xi walked to his side with a frown, “What?”

Jiang Suizhou directly pulled her to sit on his lap, holding onto her waist as he asked, “Guan Xi, who did you hear this from?”

“Yeah, who did I hear it from? Who made you not tell me? Initially, when I heard it from your sister-in-law, Yang Tianyu, I wasn’t entirely convinced. But I sent someone to investigate in your company, and it’s indeed true! Jiang Suizhou, there’s a significant gap in your liquidity, and the shareholders in the company are not happy. Do you think you can hide this from anyone?”

Jiang Suizhou fell silent for a moment, staring at her intently, “So, the reason you’re doing this now is to help me fill that gap?”

“I can do it.”

“But…”

“I’m willing to do it.” Guan Xi interrupted him, “You don’t need to feel embarrassed, and you don’t have to worry that I’ll think you’re using me. For such a big matter, I won’t think too much. Besides, aren’t we going to get married? That means we are a team. It’s absolutely impossible for them to bully you. Do you think I would let that happen, even if it costs me my life…”

As she spoke, Guan Xi’s voice gradually softened because she saw Jiang Suizhou smiling.

In such a serious situation! He actually smiled??

Guan Xi was stunned for a moment, dissatisfied, “No, I’m talking seriously. Why are you laughing?”

It was a sudden and surprising reaction.

Jiang Suizhou felt like his heart was entangled in a web, tightening and allowing the satisfaction within him, the satisfaction that couldn’t be expressed, to overflow completely. It was somewhat overwhelming, catching him off guard.

“Foolish,” Jiang Suizhou reached out and pinched her cheek, his tone and demeanor slightly lower, “Not necessary.”

Guan Xi was anxious, “Why is it not necessary? You lack liquidity, right? Instead of relying on others for damage control, I can help you. If it’s not enough, there are many assets that can be quickly liquidated. Some might take a bit longer, but just a little patience, and you…”

“Fake.”

“What?”

Jiang Suizhou said, “The gap that can’t be filled is fake. Everything Yang Tianyu thinks is fake.”

Guan Xi was stunned, “At this point, why hide it from me? I said I investigated it myself.”

“I know, but this is not true. Except for my parents and my people, no one else knows it’s false news.”

Guan Xi：“…………”

“Didn’t tell you because it wasn’t necessary, and you were busy with your own matters. You don’t need to worry about such things.” Jiang Suizhou chuckled and hugged her, saying, “Little rich woman, my money can support you for a lifetime, no need to panic.”
