Had it not been for the need to deal with Yu Jingxi,—even Situ Xuan had not anticipated that Yu Jingxi would be so difficult to handle! Originally, he thought that given the Situ Family’s status, connections, and even wealth, it might not be easy to crush Huanyu Group, but he should have been able to easily trouble them.
He had never expected Yu Jingxi’s capabilities to be so formidable!
No wonder, back then, Yu Jingxi had even forced his father, Situ Che, into a position without any means to resist. If it weren’t for his meticulous planning this time, and the timing being so perfect, it would not have been so easy to put Yu Jingxi and his group into a difficult situation.
After all, Huanyu Group’s development over these years was indeed very rapid. If the Situ Family had not relied on the underworld and foreign trade businesses, they probably could not have withstood them!
But even so, the chess pieces and arrangements he had painstakingly made over many years had been mostly uncovered by Yu Jingxi.
The next time he wanted to get at him, he would have to work even harder!
However, the delay this time had allowed Yu Zexiao to find an opening—he could distinctly feel that during the ten days he was away, the relationship between Yu Zexiao and Jian Anning had, perhaps, improved?
But on Yu Jingxi’s side, they were also at a critical moment, and he could not relax at all. Thinking of this, he felt as if he was being pressed by an unprecedented pressure, completely unable to move!
Situ Xuan was about to speak when a call came through; it was his assistant from the Yancheng workgroup: "Sir, I have sorted out the documents for the tender. Should I bring them to your room now? We have a meeting at 10 o’clock tomorrow morning, and you instructed us to review them in advance. If it’s not convenient, we can continue to make adjustments on our end."
Situ Xuan had never been so passive under crossfire!
On one side was his work, where he had put in great effort and aimed to beat his opponent. On the other was his arch-enemy’s son, the woman he loved—
Work and love, like two things that are hard to balance, abruptly appeared before him, leaving him unable to make a decision!
He knew that he had come all the way from Yancheng just to see her. But now, after his arrival, he seemed—not to have felt consoled, but rather, a deeper sense of fear.
He was worried that if things continued this way, perhaps, Jian Anning really would be charmed back by Yu Zexiao!
"Yo, busy, huh? So late at night, are you meeting your little lover?" Yu Zexiao didn’t know exactly what Situ Xuan was about to do, but seeing him frown, he deliberately spoke sarcastically, laughing as he spoke, "Then Anning and I won’t bother you—goodbye~~"
After speaking, Yu Zexiao got into the car first.
Situ Xuan, left standing there, went from red to white with anger. When had he, Situ Xuan, ever been subjected to such contempt and mockery since he was born?
If the one who looked down on him, who laughed at him, was Yu Jingxi, it would be another matter—after all, that was a man one generation above him, and someone he genuinely admired for his exceptional abilities.
