There was no harm in letting Xi Xianya go for now, as long as she could get the soaring bidding proposal for him.
However, this woman, like her father, was foolish and would ultimately not escape his grasp.
As Zhao Jianhua was about to leave, he took a medicine bottle from his bag and handed it to Xi Xianya, saying, "You've taken a liking to Qin Tianyi, do you want to have him?"
Xi Xianya dared not take the medicine bottle and shook her head in a panic.
Zhao Jianhua stuffed the medicine bottle into her hand and said, "This is good medicine. I originally wanted to give it to you. Why don't you give it to Qin Tianyi? As long as you get him, it will be easy to get the proposal."
After speaking, he left the lounge with a smile.
Xi Xianya clutched the medicine bottle tremblingly and cried helplessly.
...
On the way back, Tianyi sat in the car, silent, thinking about what Zhao Jianhua had said about the water being deep.
After thinking about it, he couldn't understand what that meant.
Did Xie Zhendong make Zhao Jianhua and Huangfu Group make some kind of deal, and the winner was already decided?
Was someone instructing Zhao Jianhua to persuade him to withdraw from the bid?
But wasn't Xie Zhendong injured and hospitalized, still worrying about this matter from his sickbed?
Or was Huangfu Group using the guise of public bidding to make the bidding appear fair to the outside world, so they let Zhao Jianhua remind him that even if his proposal was good, it wouldn't win?
He couldn't figure out which of these two possibilities was true, and perhaps neither was true. Then what could be the third possibility?
"Tianyi, Tianyi! What are you thinking about?" Susu linked her arm through his, wanting to talk to him.
He came back to his senses, smiled at Susu, and said, "Nothing, I was just wondering what Zhao Jianhua's intentions were."
"You've been playing ball with him, and you still haven't figured out what he wants to do?" Susu asked curiously, thinking that with Tianyi's intelligence, it shouldn't be the case.
Tianyi said, "On the surface, he wants me to withdraw from Huangfu Group's bidding project, but there should be other reasons. He's unwilling to say, and it should be related to his own interests."
"He just told you to withdraw directly. What right does he have!" Susu said indignantly.
Tianyi didn't bother to dwell on the matter for the time being and asked, "When did you send Xi Xianya home? Judging by what Zhao Jianhua said, did you ruin his good deed?"
Susu said awkwardly, "It was that time when I invited Kang Xi and the others to dinner, and I accidentally ran into Xi Xianya. I thought Xi Xianya was being forced and unwilling, and since we knew each other, I didn't want her to fall into the devil's clutches..."
As she spoke, she couldn't continue. Seeing Zhao Jianhua and Xi Xianya so intimate today, she felt like a joke.
"You," Tianyi smiled and said, "Don't measure Zhao Jianhua's standing in other women's hearts by your standards. You think he's vulgar and dirty, but he's rich. He's the CEO of a group, so naturally, girls will flock to him."
Susu gritted her teeth and nodded, "You're right, I was being meddlesome."
"But why did Xi Xianya recognize Zhao Jianhua as her godfather?" Tianyi frowned and said, "It seems I need to investigate Xi Xianya's background carefully. She's probably not just a resident singer and a fresh graduate."
Susu also couldn't figure it out and said, "She lives in a very upscale neighborhood. She shouldn't be a girl who lacks money and is vain."
Tianyi asked, "What neighborhood did you send her to last time?"
Susu said the name of the neighborhood, and Tianyi also knew this upscale community where only the rich and powerful lived. He couldn't help but say, "Could it be that Zhao Jianhua bought her a house?"
"It shouldn't be. She said it was her own home," Susu said with certainty. "In the situation last time, Zhao Jianhua hadn't gotten her yet, so he wouldn't have given her such an expensive house."
"Well, given Zhao Jianhua's character, he wouldn't be so generous. Then it's a bit strange. I'll have someone investigate."
Susu said nothing more, leaning against him, feeling incredibly happy.
...
Early this morning, Old Mrs. Xie arrived at the CEO's office of Xie Group.
Two days ago, she had asked a familiar doctor to help secretly conduct a DNA comparison for Jie Jie.
The doctor called her around noon, telling her that the results were out.
She felt flustered and nervously asked, "What are the results?"
The doctor said a lot of professional terms on the phone, which confused her, and she didn't understand.
But she had a bad premonition and asked directly, "Can you tell me the result directly? Is this child our Xie family's grandson?"
"Old Madam, this, this..." The doctor could only say helplessly, "The results show that this child has no blood relationship with your family. He should not be your grandson."
"I understand," the old lady hung up the phone, completely stunned, and instantly felt difficulty breathing, her breathing becoming rapid.
Lotus Mom, who was by her side, noticed something was wrong and quickly fed the old lady a Salvia miltiorrhiza tablet, saying, "Miss, what's wrong? Who called you just now, what did they say? Is the young master alright?"
The old lady was experiencing severe chest pain and couldn't speak, only waving her hand.
Lotus Mom did not dare to delay and immediately called the accompanying doctor waiting in the car and dialed 120 for an ambulance.
The accompanying doctor rushed to the office and administered emergency measures to the old lady. She was soon sent to the hospital by ambulance. Fortunately, the rescue was timely, and the old lady's angina subsided.
After Old Mrs. Xie regained consciousness, she patted the hospital bed with one hand and lamented with grief, "The Xie family is without heirs, the Xie family is without heirs..."
Lotus Mom was heartbroken by the bedside and said, "Miss, why do you say that? What happened?"
"Jie Jie's paternity test is out, he's not Qining's biological child." The old lady looked at Lotus Mom in despair.
Lotus Mom couldn't believe it at all. She clutched her chest and said, "How could that be? Is the test wrong? Such a cute child..."
The old lady interrupted her excitedly, "It won't be wrong. I trust that doctor."
"But what if it's wrong?" Lotus Mom didn't want the old lady to be sad and spoke optimistically.
The old lady slowly calmed down and said, "Tell those people to keep a close eye on Yang Shasha. I'll have another鉴定 done."
"Miss, whether Jie Jie is Qining's child or not, you can't be so sad anymore. Your health is important..."
"How can you expect me to calm down when something like this happens? The entire Xie family has been deceived by that Yang Shasha." The old lady became sad again and said, "Zhendong placed all his hopes on this child. To have such a result, that wicked woman just wants our Xie family to be without heirs. I will not let her go!"
"It's too terrifying. She could fool Young Master Qining with this. Such a woman deserves to be cut into a thousand pieces!" Lotus Mom was also furious and stood in solidarity with the old lady.
"Yes, even cutting her into a thousand pieces would be too good for her!" The old lady gritted her teeth in hatred.
Lotus Mom advised, "Miss, even if you want to cut her into a thousand pieces, you must take care of your health first. The Xie family and Xie Group are counting on you now."
