Hearing that Xue An was going to take her back to Ruiyuan, Jiang Li immediately tensed up and sat up straight. "I don't live in Ruiyuan anymore. Please turn around, Assistant Xue."
"You moved?" Xue An was a bit surprised. "President Xiao didn't tell me. He just told me to take you back to Ruiyuan directly."
Jiang Li said, "Then I won't trouble Assistant Xue to take me."
She pointed at the side of the road. Her voice was cold and flat. "Please pull over. I'll get off here."
Xue An was stunned for a moment, but he didn't continue to insist. He turned the steering wheel directly. "Where do you live now? Let me take you back. There are all sorts of rumors out there now. It's not safe for you to take a taxi by yourself."
Jiang Li thanked him politely and told him her current address.
When the car was almost at Jiang Li's building, Xue An's phone rang. He took a look at the caller ID. He didn't dare to be slow. He quickly answered the phone. "President Xiao."
Xiao Yanzhi's cold voice came over. "Where are you?"
Hearing this, Xue An took a look at Jiang Li through the rearview mirror. He hesitated a bit. "I've already... arrived home."
"Why don't I see anyone?" The man's voice was a bit unhappy.
Xue An's voice was even softer. "I've arrived at... Sister Jiang Li's home."
As soon as he said that, the other end of the phone was quiet for a few seconds.
Xue An seemed to hear the impatient inhalation sound from the other end of the phone. It was obvious that he was suppressing his emotions.
"Give the phone to Jiang Li."
Xiao Yanzhi's voice was cold. It came over.
Xue An held the phone. He turned his head carefully and looked at her. "Sister Jiang Li, President Xiao wants you to answer the phone."
Jiang Li understood. She didn't want to make Xue An feel embarrassed between them. She leaned over and took the phone from his hand. "What does President Xiao want with me?"
"Xue An listens to you. You tell him where to go, and he'll take you there." Xiao Yanzhi clicked his tongue. His words were full of mockery.
Jiang Li didn't want to waste any more words with Xiao Yanzhi. She pressed on her eyebrows and repeated herself. "What exactly is it?"
"Let Xue An take you back to Ruiyuan."
Jiang Li bit her lip. "I have my own home. I don't need President Xiao to worry about it."
"Your own home?" Xiao Yanzhi carelessly tugged at the corner of his lips. He was just repeating her words, but his tone was so mocking.
Jiang Li ignored the meaning in his words. "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up. I'm very tired now. I want to rest."
The other end of the phone paused for a moment. Then, he said softly. "What about your brother's matter? Are you going to throw the mess at me?"
Jiang Li was about to press the hang up button. When she heard this sentence, her fingertips paused.
"He asked you for money again?" Jiang Li tightened her palm. "Don't lend him any money. I won't pay it back for him even if you lend it to him."
"While you were in the hospital, he came to Jiangyu and made a scene. He said that you promised him that you would help him find a job in the company."
Xiao Yanzhi said carelessly. "In order to avoid causing a greater impact, I directly told the personnel department to arrange a job for him to do odd jobs."
"Such kindness. How are you, the elder sister, going to repay me?"
Jiang Li's chest immediately tightened. She suddenly remembered the matter of her mother holding onto her tightly and insisting that she help Jiang Yi find a job.
She leaned back. She only felt her vision go black.
During the time she was in the hospital, Sister Chen didn't mention this matter to her. She couldn't even imagine how Jiang Yi had made a scene in the company in a grand manner and how he had shamelessly asked Xiao Yanzhi for a job.
After a moment, she slowly opened her mouth. Her voice was cold and trembling. "I didn't ask you to help him. You can fire him."
Xiao Yanzhi's voice was low. It was a bit cold. "Do you think I'm willing to help you? Jiang Li, don't take yourself too seriously."
It was obvious that he didn't have much patience. His voice was light. "Let Xue An take you back to Ruiyuan. Don't make me urge you a second time."
After the other person finished speaking, he directly hung up the phone.
Jiang Li lowered her eyes. She looked at the page where the call was cut off. Her fair fingertips paused for a few seconds above the screen.
The atmosphere in the car was very stiff.
Xue An was nervous. He didn't know what topic the two of them had talked about. He asked carefully. "Then, Sister Jiang Li, where are we going now..."
Jiang Li didn't answer this question. Instead, she asked another question. "My brother made a scene at Jiangyu two days ago?"
When he mentioned this matter, Xue An immediately straightened his body. He looked helpless. "Yes. He walked around the company in a swaggering manner. He was also drunk. He smashed a lot of things. He said everywhere that President Xiao was his brother-in-law."
"He said that you promised him that you would find a job for him at Jiangyu."
When Jiang Li heard this, her head buzzed. It was as if it was about to explode.
"And then?" She calmed her breathing. After a moment of silence, she continued to ask with a trembling voice. "Didn't anyone call the security guards to kick him out?"
Xue An shook his head. "He said that he was your brother. No one in the company dared to stop him. It was President Xiao who came out and sent him away."
"If it wasn't for President Xiao, he would have made an even bigger scene."
When Xue An said this, he couldn't help but sigh. "Actually, President Xiao is really good. If it was another boss, he would definitely send him to the police station regardless of whose relative he was."
Hearing this, Jiang Li laughed self-deprecatingly.
She hoped that Xiao Yanzhi wouldn't show any mercy and directly send Jiang Yi to the police station. It could also give him a warning.
The car returned to silence.
"Then..." Xue An took the opportunity to ask Jiang Li. "Where are we going now, Sister Jiang Li?"
Jiang Li closed her eyes. She tightly clenched her hands and then slowly let go.
"Go to Ruiyuan."
Even though it wasn't Jiang Li's intention to help deal with Jiang Yi's matter, she still owed him. She had to say it clearly in person.
Xue An answered. He let out a sigh of relief in his heart. He stepped on the accelerator.
As long as Jiang Li agreed to return to Ruiyuan, at least he wouldn't be angered by President Xiao.
...
Although she hadn't returned for a long time, when she stood in front of the door, she still pressed the password based on her muscle memory.
The moment the door opened, she was still a bit dazed.
He still hadn't changed the password?
The moment Jiang Li stepped into the living room, she saw the man sitting on the sofa. When he saw her appear at the door, his eyebrows slightly raised. He looked at her for a few seconds.
Jiang Li hesitated. She wanted to say something, but the first thing that came out of her mouth was. "Why didn't you change the password of the house?"
Xiao Yanzhi glanced at her. "I don't have that habit."
His tone was loose. "Besides, other than you, no one else knows about this house."
This house was bought by Xiao Yanzhi for Jiang Li at the earliest time.
At that time, Jiangyu hadn't developed yet. Jiang Li wasn't as famous as she was now. There weren't many people who knew about her residence.
It was just that Jiang Li didn't expect that this house would be empty.
She blinked her eyes. She wanted to say something but stopped.
Seeing that she had something to say, Xiao Yanzhi lifted his eyelids. His voice was soft. It was a bit mocking. "You thought I would bring Yaoyao to live here?"
