Chapter 320 - Promise Not to Let You Down

Chapter 320 Promise Not to Let You Down

She did not take a shower until early in the morning. Lying in bed, she couldn't fall asleep. She kept thinking about how this thing would go on in her heart. She felt terrible as if her heart was on fire. Several pustules grew near her mouth in a few hours.

Since she couldn't fall asleep, she just sat up. Holding her knees in her hands, she felt so helpless and was about to cry with her head buried between her knees.

Shen Yan was sitting in Shen Mo's living room at this moment.

Looking at the photos Shen Yan gave him, Shen Mo frowned and said, "Do you suspect me?"

"Didn't you?" Shen Yan asked.

"If I say I didn’t do it, will you believe me?" Shen Mo asked back.

"You are my elder brother. If you say so, of course, I believe you." Shen Yan said.

Shen Mo nodded. "That's good. I am telling you now. I didn’t do it. She is your girlfriend. I can tell that you are serious about her, so I won't do anything to my sister-in-law. Besides, she is Shiyu's cousin."

It was rare that Shen Mo who considered silence as gold explained so much.

Shen Yan put his phone back into his pocket. "OK. I believe you."

"Don't believe me so soon. Although I didn't do anything to Xia Yu, it doesn't mean that I didn't do anything." Shen Mo said in a cold tone again.

Shen Yan smiled. "We are rivals now. Can you be called my rival if you don't do anything?"

Shen Mo also smiled. "You have a clear mind. So I will not lie to you. There is no way if you want to focus on your business without distraction."

"My elder brother really adores me. You cultivate me with all your heart. I will save the courtesy. But I can tell you as well that I promise not to let you down." Shen Yan's beautiful fox eyes squinted slightly. Had the fight between them already became open?

This was better!

"Glib-tongued. Since I have already told you, I won't hold back." Shen Mo smiled again. No matter how serious the thing was, he couldn't be serious with this brother.

"No need!" Shen Yan stood up. He looked at Shen Mo and said, "I don't expect that you can smile as well."

"Can't I? Someone said I had a beautiful smile." Shen Mo stared at Shen Yan. Who didn't know how to smile? Why did he make a fuss?

"Who? Wu Shiyu?" Shen Yan asked.

"I'm not telling you!" Shen Mo showed him a supercilious look. "It's late. Get out of here quickly. I need to rest."

"If I leave, won't you be alone? Just let me stay with you." Shen Yan joked to say.

"You aren't a beautiful woman. Get your ass out!" Shen Mo said impolitely.

"Then, should I find a beautiful woman for you?" It was rare that his elder brother mentioned women on his own initiative. Shen Yan thought he should give Shen Mo what he wanted.

"F**k off!" Shen Mo pushed Shen Yan out and slammed the door closed.

This boy, if he didn't compete with Shen Mo, their relationship might be the same as it used to be. Shen Mo exhaled a breath and took out his phone to call Zeng Mina.

Zeng Mina was browsing the website. Seeing it was Shen Mo who called her, she frowned. She actually didn't know why he called her so late. She picked up the phone. "Hello?"

"Mina, is it you who set Xia Yu up with the intimate photos?" Shen Mo asked directly when he heard Zeng Mina's voice.

Did he know it as well? It must be First Madame who told him. First Madame called her earlier. She told her that she did a wonderful job this time. Second Madame was so angry that she almost died on the spot. She had already gone to find Xia Yu. It looked like she wanted Xia Yu to go away.

"Li Tianci put up a good show this time, didn't he?" Zeng Mina was a little complacent. How could Shen Mo be able to despise her anymore?

"Bullsh*t . Who asked you to aim at Xia Yu? She is Shen Yan's girlfriend now, which means she is one of us in Shen Family. You don't want them to aim at you as well, do you?" The look on Shen Mo's face became cold. He rebuked Zeng Mina vehemently.

"I did it for you. OK? Why are you not grateful?" Zeng Mina was angry. Who admitted that she was Shen Yan's girlfriend, except for Shen Yan himself?

Besides, nobody knew it was her who did it. Second Madame would only blame Xia Yu when the thing got exposed. What did she do wrong? Why did he yell at her?

"Don't do anything restless. Then you can do me a favor!" Shen Mo was too tired to talk to her. Why did a rich young lady like her not have a brain?

She should look at those things which Xia Yu had done for Shen Yan. All of those were perfect. And looking at her, Shen Mo could hardly compare her with Xia Yu. He collapsed on the sofa helplessly.

Was she wrong again? What did that man mean? Why was it wrong no matter what she did for him? Zeng Mina was so furious that she threw away her phone.

There was no place for her in his heart. No matter what she did, it was wrong. She didn't understand why her father insisted that she should ingratiate herself with him who was so cold.

He was the eldest Mister of Shen Family. Wasn't she the eldest Miss of Zeng Family? Why should she put up with him? The more she thought of it, the angrier she got. The angrier she got, the more she wanted to smash things.

Hearing the noise, Zeng Ziqiang came over in his pajamas. "What's wrong, Mina?"

Zhou Jiamin took Zeng Mina to the bedroom beside hers to sit down and asked the maids to clean her room hurriedly.

The maids who saw the mess in the bedroom felt a lot of pity. Things in their eldest Miss's room were all the best. She smashed them oftentimes and bought back new ones. How much would these things cost?

"It is because of Shen Mo. I did this big favor for him this time. Even First Madame praised me. But he blamed me." Zeng Mina felt so aggrieved that she cried loudly.

"If he doesn't want you to meddle, then leave it." Zeng Ziqiang was furious, too. How could Shen Mo be so arrogant? If he were capable, he wouldn't be deeply troubled by Shen Yan.

Zeng Ziqiang also got angry in his heart. Why did he choose him instead of Shen Yan at first? Now he couldn't even do a small thing well. And he lost his temper every now and then.

"Let it go. It's the middle of the night. Both of you stop it." Seeing Zeng Ziqiang was also furious, Zhou Jiamin persuaded aside. More haste, less speed. Something could not be solved by impatience. Hurting each other would only make things worse. It would be good for everyone to find a balance point.

Xia Yu had been sitting here for about one or two hours. She was a little sleepy and dizzy. And she woke up immediately when she suddenly heard some noise coming from the living room. Was it a thief? Her heart was in her throat at once. She stared steadily at the door in the dark.

The door was pushed open slightly. A tall and huge figure came in and then approached the bed slowly. It looked like a man. When he went to the side of the bed and lowered his head to look at Xia Yu, Xia Yu immediately reached out her hands and hugged him tightly.

"Shen Yan, are you back yet?" Xia Yu recognized him when he was almost near the bed.

"Did I wake you up?" Shen Yan said with a faint smile. Then he held her up and turned on the lamp.

"How’s it going?" Xia Yu asked, leaning in his arm.

"Not a big deal. But it will take some time." Shen Yan exhaled a breath in his heart. Shen Mo didn't plan to do something serious to him at first. He just wanted to make him tired of being busy running about, so he could do what he really wanted to do.

"Your elder brother went too far this time." Xia Yu sighed.

"It's okay. I can still manage it. By the way, I come to tell you that there is a flood in Liang County. Our company needs to do something. You just go there on behalf of our company." Shen Yan came back to see her and also had something to tell her. He still needed to cope with his things after saying this. Liu Sijie was too busy to do it alone.

"OK. You can rest assured. I will go there with Li Feiran tomorrow morning." Although visiting the victims of a natural calamity was a small thing, it would gain fame for the company if they handled it successfully. Especially there was much negative news about the company.

Xia Yu didn't dare to be careless. After Shen Yan left, she got up and went through some materials since she couldn't fall asleep anyway. As soon as it was dawn, she took Li Feiran to Liang County.

The county was not big. It was the second time that she came there. First Uncle Xie sent her there when Yang Ke'er ditched her in the mountains last time. But Shen Yan picked her up in a short time.

Jiangjiang was just in Xie Village. Xia Yu had promised to visit him. But because of the rain here, the road to the village got damaged. Besides, she had something else to do here, so she had to give up.

When they got off the car, people from the local civil administration department led them to the temporary shelters for the victims. The shelters which were set up temporarily were full of people and noise.

A pair of grandmother and grandson attracted Xia Yu's attention. The old person seemed to be sick while the child was different from others. He stared at them straight, looking very pathetic.

"This child can't talk. Only he and his grandmother are at home." The people from the civil administration department saw Xia Yu looking at them and explained to her.

"What a poor child! Why he can't talk?" Li Feiran said aside.

"Not completely mute. I took him to the hospital before. The doctor said he would be able to talk after surgery. But his parents were dead, and I was so old. So, I couldn't afford it." Speaking of this, the child's grandmother wiped her tears.

This pair of grandmother and grandson reminded Xia Yu of Jiangjiang. He and his grandmother also depended on each other. Besides, his grandmother was very sick. Xia Yu approached the child, and the child flinched back subconsciously.

Xia Yu asked the grandmother. "What's the child's name?"

"Yangyang!" His grandmother said.

"Did you tell the truth just now?" Xia Yu asked.

The grandmother was stunned. "What?"

"This child's disease." Xia Yu explained to say.

The grandmother nodded. "Yes. It's not a complicated surgery. The doctor in our county can perform it."

"OK. You guys go to the hospital with me later." A good child couldn't talk, which meant he couldn't go to school when he grew up. He couldn't live like normal people. Since he could be cured, Xia Yu hoped that he could have a normal life.

"What did you say?" The grandmother was stunned.

The lady from the civil administration department who came with Xia Yu smiled and said, "This lady comes from the city to help us out. Grandmother, you are so lucky. Their company is willing to pay for Yangyang's surgery. Your grandson will be able to talk in the future."

"Really?" The grandmother looked at Xia Yu excitedly. She suddenly thought of something. She took his grandson with her, and they were about to give Xia Yu a kowtow.

"Grandmother, there is no need to do this." Xia Yu held the grandmother up hurriedly. Her body was so hot. It seemed that she was having a fever. "Grandmother, are you having a fever?"

The grandmother nodded. "I have taken the febrifuge. But I am so old that my immunity is bad. I just can't get better."

"You need a shot. How about this? Let's go to the hospital now." Since she decided to treat Yangyang, Xia Yu didn't delay. She asked the men from the civil administration department to take them to the hospital.

After she settled the grandmother and grandson down in the hospital, Xia Yu donated some money and goods to the victims on behalf of her company. Then she and Li Feiran rushed back to S city hurriedly.

Shen Yan just left after making arrangements with her in the middle of the night. Although there were some other vice presidents in the company, Xia Yu couldn't be at ease, thinking about Liu Sijie's issue and the lawsuit of the company.

As Xia Yu expected, the assault towards Liu Sijie never stopped at all. And it was getting worse. New evidence against Liu Sijie kept appearing. More and more people believed that Liu Sijie was an unfaithful lover.

Even some of Liu Sijie's loyal fans in the company started to waver.

"We have been away for only three or five days. How could it be so serious?" Li Feiran frowned. Like Xia Yu, Li Feiran was skeptical about Li Sijie's being an unfaithful lover.

After all, Li Feiran was the supervisor of the Public Relations Department. The thing had come to this point. It was definitely not as simple as the personal grudge between Li Qin and Liu Sijie.

This aimed at Shen Yan. Li Sijie was his right-hand man. Taking down Liu Sijie meant cutting off Shen Yan’s hands and feet. How could a man do anything without his hands and feet?

"Yes!" Xia Yu exhaled a breath. She worried about Liu Sijie inwardly. She walked to Hao Qing who was talking the most excitedly with the loudest voice. "You come with me."

"What's wrong? I didn't make it up. He admitted it. If you don't believe me, just check the newspaper." Hao Qing gave Xia Yu a newspaper which was put on the table and said righteously.
