After Divorcing the Beautiful Richest Woman, She Fell in Love (GL) - Chapter 29

After a full day of discussions yesterday with several companies interested in replacing President Bu, Jian Xiyan worked overtime to process the relevant data and called another meeting with the business departments this morning.

“The Qinghe project is of great significance to the company’s business development over the next three years. I hope everyone will persevere and not be affected by temporary changes and difficulties.”

Jian Xiyan did not intentionally hide the predicament they faced. When facing the shareholders, she withstood the pressure and promised to find a replacement plan as soon as possible to end the crisis. But when facing her subordinates, she did not intend to pass all the pressure down.

Xie Anya, Manager of the Public Relations Department, stated frankly: “President Jian, since President Bu doesn’t trust our ability to deal with relevant departments, will this problem still exist if we change to another partner?”

The Jian Group did not have much experience in this type of infrastructure project. The reason they placed such high importance on the Qinghe project was to obtain an entry ticket for a package of large-scale overseas construction projects.

The Qinghe project was semi-charitable in nature, so the profit margin was actually not large. Due to the geographical particularity and high difficulty of construction, the companies competing were all powerful, large-scale corporations.

However, fighting alone carried high risks and made it easy for opponents to unite against them. Therefore, everyone tacitly divided into camps and then elected the most powerful company to lead.

The Jian Group and Bu Shenglong’s Shengde Group were neck-and-neck. Jian Shenyao had initially sought out Bu Shenglong for cooperation because he considered the other party’s years of experience and significant connections with relevant departments—areas where the Jian Group was relatively weak.

Jian Xiyan wanted to get the ticket for a larger market share in the future, and she also needed a brilliant performance to prove that she, as the heir, did not rely solely on the luck of her birth.

According to the original agreement with Bu Shenglong, the Jian Group would mainly provide funds and material allocation—essentially providing the money and labor—while Shengde Group would be responsible for smoothing over relationships and handling the behind-the-scenes segments.

But at the moment of signing, President Bu changed his mind. On Tara Island, he had explicitly hinted that Jian Xiyan was inflexible and lacked experience. Even so, Jian Xiyan did not completely exclude Shengde Group from the options; she just moved them to the bottom of the list for the time being.

She believed the person behind President Bu had been watching. If she gave up completely now, it would make her look like she couldn’t afford to play this game of chess.

Jian Xiyan tapped her pen lightly on the desk, providing a clear answer to Xie Anya’s doubts: “Our problems do exist and need continuous improvement. Please strengthen the areas President Bu pointed out as much as possible.”

Xie Anya took careful notes, thinking that President Jian’s meaning was that if they changed partners, the Jian Group would have to handle those relationships themselves.

But Jian Xiyan continued: “I am well aware that shortcomings cannot be filled so quickly, so in choosing a new partner, I will still focus on complementarity.” She instructed Xie Anya directly: “Fill the gaps, but do not put the cart before the horse. Maintaining our original advantages is more important.”

Xie Anya was a bit troubled. After hesitating, she said bluntly: “President Jian, if the complementary strength of the new partner is not as good as Shengde’s, then we…?”

Jian Xiyan knew that she was asking because she was afraid that if they eventually failed, the responsibility would be blamed entirely on the PR department.

“Rewards and punishments will be clear; every department just needs to do its own duty.” She reassured Xie Anya: “I will see everyone’s efforts. Success or failure, we fight as a team. No one will enjoy victory alone, and no one will sacrifice alone.”

As soon as these words came out, not only Xie Anya but also the heads of several other departments silently breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Liqing saw their reactions and secretly smiled as she recorded Jian Xiyan’s words. This would be formally issued as the meeting minutes later. Oral promises were unreliable, but turning them into text and sending them out would put more people at ease.

After the meeting, Jian Xiyan and Xu Liqing returned to the office. Passing by Jian Xiaomin’s seat, they found it empty. Jian Xiyan stared for a few seconds, and Xu Liqing asked for her: “Shaojun, where is Xiaomin?”

Her bag was still on the table, so it didn’t look like she had ducked out early. But the folders were very neat, so it didn’t look like she had gone to rest mid-way through reading.

Chi Shaojun was Jian Xiyan’s second secretary, mainly responsible for daily affairs and handling emergency situations. “Xiaomin went to the pantry.”

Jian Xiyan said nothing and went straight into the office. Xu Liqing followed; there were still many things to discuss.

“Distribute the meeting minutes as soon as possible. I think these people are waiting for this to work in peace.” Jian Xiyan began giving instructions before she even sat down.

“I’ll go right away.” Xu Liqing pulled out an A4 sheet of paper and placed it on Jian Xiyan’s desk. The handwriting was slightly messy, but there was a lot of content.

Jian Xiyan scanned it briefly and smiled as she took it: “Your ability to multitask has upgraded again. Besides the minutes, you finished this so easily?”

Xu Liqing laughed: “Who said it was easy? I finished this with great difficulty. See if it’s comprehensive enough?”

The paper recorded everyone’s reactions during the meeting, mainly focusing on the heads of those business departments. It was difficult not to miss any key points over a two-hour meeting, especially the ones useful to Jian Xiyan.

Jian Xiyan finished reading quickly, very satisfied: “This is exactly what I need, thank you.” She put the paper carefully into a locked drawer.

“Someone is clearly planning to slack off. Are you considering changing your subordinates while you change partners?”

Jian Xiyan retracted her smile and said solemnly: “I have to consider Second Uncle’s face.”

“But this project has been completely handed over to you. If it goes poorly because of these people’s negligence, the consequences will still fall on you.”

“That’s why I will transfer the key business to the departments that can actually work.”

“Aren’t you worried they’ll object?”

Jian Xiyan curved her lips again: “The more they object, the better. If they want to get the business back, they’ll have to perform well.”

Xu Liqing was stunned for a moment, then laughed: “The carrot works better than the stick.”

Only then did Jian Xiyan find the time to have some water. Finding her tea was cold, she was about to ask Chi Shaojun to bring a new cup when she heard Xiaomin knocking outside. Xu Liqing opened the door and saw Jian Xiaomin peering in, carrying a cup of coffee with a cute expression.

“Sis, I brewed a cup of coffee for you to refresh yourself.”

Jian Xiyan saw her walking over with a skip in her step. Seeing her look so excited after putting down the coffee, she guessed she must want something again. “Instead of looking at the files properly, you ran off to brew coffee?”

Jian Xiyan picked up the coffee. Her tone wasn’t harsh; it even had a hint of teasing.

“You’re working so hard, I feel bad for you.”

Xu Liqing packed up her materials to leave. Hearing Jian Xiaomin’s words, she couldn’t help but joke: “Xiaomin, does this count as ‘offering hospitality for no reason’?” Having said that, she left very quickly.

Sure enough, only after she closed the door did Jian Xiaomin react. Since Xu Liqing was already gone, she could only complain to Jian Xiyan: “Sis, Sister Liqing said I must be up to no good!”

Jian Xiyan took two sips of coffee and actually chimed in: “So, which one is it?”

Jian Xiaomin froze, realizing she couldn’t win against either of them. She swallowed her words and reminded herself that the main business was more important. “Sis, are you free tomorrow? I want to take you to dinner.”

“Why the sudden invitation?”

“Well… you’re so busy yet still willing to supervise my internship. Such deep sisterly love—I must cherish it and be grateful!”

Jian Xiyan looked at her twice as she put down her coffee: “What ghostly idea are you thinking of now?”

“Oh, I just want to eat with you before school starts, okay?”

“Isn’t it the same to eat at home?”

“How can that be the same!” Xiaomin complained with genuine emotion. “At home, how can I cry about my hardships with confidence? My parents certainly won’t help me.”

Jian Xiyan began moving her mouse. Xiaomin thought she wasn’t agreeing: “Sis, do you love me?”

Jian Xiyan said helplessly: “Am I not just about to check the schedule?”

Xiaomin squatted down with starry eyes to look together, only to have her vision go black: “Sis, you’re way too busy!” Then she discovered a key point and was shocked: “You’re going on another business trip next week?”

“Isn’t it normal for me to travel?” If she didn’t have to personally screen the new partners, she would have left this week.

Xiaomin was glad she picked tomorrow; otherwise, there really wouldn’t be a chance. The rest of the schedule was packed with things that seemed very hard to push away. Heaven is truly helping Sister Feiruo! Xiaomin’s face lit up with joy.

She lay on the edge of Jian Xiyan’s desk like a little puppy, her eyes never leaving the screen.

“Tomorrow afternoon I have to go to Xingyi. I’ll try to finish as early as possible, but I can’t guarantee what time.” Jian Xiyan moved the subsequent dinner engagement from her schedule and notified Xu Liqing through the internal chat to cancel it.

Xiaomin’s plan had partially succeeded; her eyes crinkled with laughter: “Sis, you’re so good.”

Jian Xiyan curled her lips and ignored her: “Get up quickly, what kind of posture is this?”

“I’ll tell you after I pick the restaurant.” Xiaomin quickly slipped out to confirm the time with Lin Feiruo.

Jian Xiyan felt a bit strange, sensing this invitation was both long-premeditated and somewhat spontaneous.

As soon as Xiaomin returned to her seat, she messaged Lin Feiruo, the curve of her mouth growing higher.

[Sister Feiruo, dinner tomorrow at 7 PM, OK?]

Jian Xiyan wasn’t sure what time she’d be back from Xingyi Group, but Xiaomin saw the canceled dinner was at 7 PM, so choosing this time should be fine. However, Lin Feiruo didn’t reply immediately, looking as if she hadn’t seen her phone.

Lin Feiruo was actually looking at her phone, but all her energy was on her inbox; she didn’t have time to switch out to check other messages. She hadn’t yet settled down from her excitement, feeling bursts of thrill in front of the screen.

Dr. Yu replied to me!

Lin Feiruo thought her eyes were playing tricks at first. After confirming several times, she opened the email with great joy. Yu Qingci’s reply was concise, but she provided targeted responses to the key points and expressed her pleasure that Lin Feiruo could proactively apply the theories from her speech notes.

Not only that, at the end of the email, Yu Qingci proactively asked if she was still interested in continuing to participate in such activities.

Of course! Absolutely! Lin Feiruo didn’t hesitate for a second and sent “I’m willing” twice. After sending it, she realized this wasn’t a chat app and hurriedly followed up with another email, her tone calmer and more rational, explaining she was so excited her hand shook and she sent it too fast. It would be impolite to retract it, so she hoped Dr. Yu wouldn’t mind.

The reason she was so cautious with her wording was that Lin Feiruo’s former supervisor was someone who cared deeply about formalities. If the address wasn’t respectful enough or the writing was too casual, it would be sent back with a demand to revise and resend.

Because of this, Lin Feiruo and her classmates would check each other’s emails before sending them to prevent their own habit errors from going unnoticed.

Lin Feiruo was still shifting between anxiety and anticipation when Yu Qingci’s reply came back. “Oh no, surely she isn’t asking me to revise and resend?” Otherwise, this reply speed was certainly fast enough.

Opening it, the first words were “It’s fine”—she seemed even more relaxed than Lin Feiruo. Her shoulders and nerves relaxed simultaneously, and the heavy stone in Lin Feiruo’s heart was lifted. She thought Dr. Yu was truly easygoing, much better than the balding supervisor.

In the email, Yu Qingci also wrote that there would be a wellness salon tomorrow night at 9 PM at the Yaxi Little Theater. It was smaller in scale than the previous forum, mainly focused on interactive exchange. She added that if Lin Feiruo was interested, she could save a ticket for her.

“This is too good to be true!” Lin Feiruo once again felt Yu Qingci’s passion for promoting wellness. She had been deeply impressed at the forum; as long as someone showed genuine interest in scientific wellness, the doctor would answer them very conscientiously. No matter how naive or amateur the question, she would explain it as thoroughly as possible, hoping to stir more interest.

[Thank you, Dr. Yu! It’s an honor to receive your invitation. Where do I collect the ticket? How do I pay?]

[It’s free, but you only get it once you arrive.]

Tickets only given upon arrival? It seemed a bit special, like an invitation for an acquaintance, so Lin Feiruo didn’t ask further.

[Then who should I contact when I arrive?]

[Just call the number on the business card; someone will arrange it.]

[Thank you, Dr. Yu!] Lin Feiruo found that besides “thank you,” there truly was no more accurate word to express her current feelings!

[I hope this salon will make you understand and love nutritional wellness even more. See you tomorrow night.]

Sensing that Dr. Yu likely had other things to do, Lin Feiruo didn’t start a new topic, thinking they might be able to exchange more ideas when they met tomorrow. She replied with “See you tomorrow night” and exited her email. Only then did she see Xiaomin’s message.

[Xiaomin, is the day after tomorrow okay? I have something tomorrow night.]

Xiaomin had finally waited for Lin Feiruo’s reply, only to see she wasn’t free. She was dying of anxiety!

The day after tomorrow, her sister had a very important social engagement marked in a different color; it seemed she was having dinner with leaders of some department, and that absolutely could not be changed. Her sister had changed tomorrow’s arrangement; she wouldn’t necessarily be willing to change the ones after. Xiaomin made a final struggle.

[Is the thing tomorrow night urgent? How about we start dinner early?]

Lin Feiruo calculated. Dinner at 7 PM—if they chose a place not far from the Yaxi Little Theater, it should be fine to leave by 8:30 PM. The previous two times she ate with Xiaomin didn’t take very long, so she naturally assumed tomorrow night would be similar.

[Is it okay if we choose near Yalan Plaza?]

It was very close to the little theater, within walking distance. Xiaomin quickly searched for restaurants and found that the good ones were fully booked.

“Whatever, eating together is what’s important. No matter what we eat, nothing is as happy as a reunion!” Xiaomin chose a second-tier restaurant.

[Tomorrow night at 6:30 PM, Zhixiang Restaurant.]

Xiaomin thought if she and Lin Feiruo arrived early, she could give Sister Feiruo some tips in advance. Lin Feiruo saw the time was changed to 6:30 PM, which gave her even more time, so she readily agreed.

Xiaomin hurried to finalize things with Jian Xiyan: [Sis, tomorrow night at 7 PM I’ll wait for you at Zhixiang, the one at Yalan Plaza, teehee.]

The dinner was finally set. Xiaomin felt a small regret amidst her anticipation. Tomorrow night the Ambience crew had a small event at the Yaxi Theater, not far from the restaurant, but she could only painfully miss it. My sister’s happiness is more important!

The next day after lunch, when Jian Xiyan left the office for Xingyi, Xiaomin specifically followed her and whispered a reminder: “Sis, don’t forget our dinner tonight.”

Jian Xiyan shook her phone: “It’s noted.”

After getting in the car, Xu Liqing was curious: “Do you guys have some special activity tonight?”

Jian Xiyan flipped through the relevant materials for Xingyi Group, appearing quite calm: “Just a normal dinner.”

“Xiaomin seems very expectant; I thought there might be a surprise.”

Surprise? Jian Xiyan pondered for a moment. She was also a bit puzzled but couldn’t find any clues. “She has always been full of energy.”

Xu Liqing smiled: “Except for the internship.”

Jian Xiyan also gave a silent laugh and continued reading the materials.

At 6:30 PM, Lin Feiruo arrived on time at Zhixiang Restaurant. There were already many people there. Xiaomin was standing at the entrance, waiting specifically for her.

“Xiaomin, have you been waiting long?” Lin Feiruo hurried over to say hello.

“No, I just arrived too.”

Lin Feiruo went into the private room with her. Lin Feiruo was very generous: “Order whatever you want, don’t worry about saving me money.” Today was her treat; even though Xiaomin wasn’t the type to take advantage, she had to make her stance clear.

Xiaomin leisurely flipped through the menu, looking not at all in a hurry. Seeing that she had been very quick to order during the previous two meals and knew exactly what she wanted, Lin Feiruo wondered why she had changed today.

Xiaomin seemed to sense her confusion and smiled at her: “It’s my first time here, let me get familiar with it first.”

Lin Feiruo took a sip of tea and didn’t rush her.

“Sister Feiruo, what would my sister usually pick?”

Lin Feiruo’s hand paused, her tea cup stopping in mid-air. Xiaomin smiled again: “I’m just suddenly curious. With so many dishes, if it were my sister, how would she choose?”

Lin Feiruo searched the original owner’s memories and found her understanding of Jian Xiyan was also pitifully thin. Extracting common points from their fake social dinners, Lin Feiruo said: “Just fewer bones and spines.” Jian Xiyan found them troublesome and didn’t like them.

Xiaomin curved her lips, satisfied: “You really know my sister.”

Lin Feiruo wanted to say: No, I don’t, you’re forcing me to pretend I do.

Xiaomin checked her phone from time to time, but she would just glance and put it down. Lin Feiruo couldn’t help but be curious: “Xiaomin, do you have something going on too?” If that was the case, why insist on eating tonight?

“Nothing, just a habit of checking every now and then.”

Xiaomin finished ordering, and Lin Feiruo had nothing to add, so the two drank tea leisurely. By nearly 7 PM, the waiter had served most of the dishes, but Jian Xiyan still hadn’t arrived. Xiaomin was anxious; before she was messaging, now she directly stood up to make a call.

“Sis, where are you?”

The boss of Xingyi was too enthusiastic but truly long-winded, talking incessantly to Jian Xiyan and her group and personally taking them on a tour. Not wanting to be rude, Jian Xiyan had to extend the visit. It was already 6:45 PM by the time they left Xingyi Group.

“About 15 minutes. If you’re hungry, eat first.”

“That long…?”

“Xiaomin, who else is at this dinner?”

Jian Xiyan finally sensed something was wrong. In the past when they had dinner, being half an hour late was common. Xiaomin wouldn’t be this anxious, urging her repeatedly. The only explanation: someone else was at this dinner.

Xiaomin had to confess: “I happened to run into Sister Feiruo, so I dragged her along for dinner.”

Happened. To run. Into. Jian Xiyan didn’t believe those three words for a second. But backing out now would only confirm there was a problem between her and Lin Feiruo. Jian Xiyan sighed helplessly: “You guys eat first, I’ll be there as soon as possible.”

Back in the private room, Lin Feiruo didn’t start eating, waiting for Xiaomin. But she was also checking her phone from time to time, appearing a bit distracted.

“Sister Feiruo, my sister just finished her visit—she’s tired and hungry. I felt bad for her, so I called her to eat with us. You don’t mind, do you?” Xiaomin offered a very fawning explanation, but Lin Feiruo saw the word “cunning” on her face.

One didn’t need to think to know it couldn’t be a coincidence, but she couldn’t bring herself to say no to someone who was “tired and hungry.”

“When will she arrive?”

“She’s on the way, another 15 minutes.”

Lin Feiruo realized why she had been checking her phone. She didn’t mind eating with Jian Xiyan; the problem was she feared that with an extra person, this meal wouldn’t end quickly.

After fifteen minutes, Jian Xiyan still hadn’t arrived. Xiaomin went to ask again—she was stuck in traffic and it would be another fifteen minutes.

With the stops and starts, they finally saw Jian Xiyan around 7:30 PM. She was wearing a beige suit today with small diamond studs, her long hair pinned up neatly as usual—mature and professional. She put her bag on a chair, smoothed her trousers, and sat down elegantly: “Sorry, I’m late because of traffic.”

The explanation was mainly directed at Lin Feiruo, and the words were intended for her. Xiaomin didn’t mind being ignored by her sister at all; this was exactly the effect she wanted. Her sister’s first concern was indeed Sister Feiruo—excellent.

Lin Feiruo was initially a bit dazzled by her beauty. After she sat down, Lin Feiruo looked at her closely and found she wasn’t as “tired and hungry” as Xiaomin exaggerated. She actually breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that it was good that Jian Xiyan was in a good state.

Xiaomin had reserved a spot so Jian Xiyan would sit between the two of them. It was a round table with more than enough room for three, but she had the waiter remove half the chairs and tableware in advance. Her intention was obvious, and both Lin Feiruo and Jian Xiyan understood it, but the three of them tacitly kept it unspoken.

Xiaomin was the busiest, almost having no time to eat. After talking to her sister, she would turn to engage Lin Feiruo, as if afraid the two of them would become separate timelines without her relaying messages.

“Sis, how many days are you traveling for next week?”

“A week, normally.”

“Sister Feiruo, it’s so sad that my sister is this busy.” Xiaomin had a pained expression, as if helping Lin Feiruo build up her emotions. “Don’t you feel bad for her too?”

Lin Feiruo was a bit embarrassed and couldn’t help stealing a glance at Jian Xiyan. Jian Xiyan looked very calm, only her hand holding her tea cup tightened slightly.

“Actually, my sister has no choice; she only has a tiny bit of free time.” Xiaomin gestured the size of a mung bean. “From what I know, she gives almost all of it to you.”

Jian Xiyan spoke: “Xiaomin, talk less during dinner, otherwise it’s easy to get indigestion.” This was true, especially when emotions shouldn’t be too agitated.

Lin Feiruo also urged her: “Yes, Xiaomin, eat your dinner properly first.”

Xiaomin was amused by the two of them speaking in harmony and pouted: “Then you guys talk first, I’ll eat.”

It was impossible for Jian Xiyan to proactively find a topic, but this meal seemed to have been caused because she didn’t keep an eye on Xiaomin, so expecting Lin Feiruo to be proactive was even more impossible. As she was thinking of what to talk about, she sensed someone looking at her. Turning, she found Lin Feiruo nodding at her, her eyes interpreting three words: I understand.

The stagnant irritation in her heart dissolved a lot. Jian Xiyan returned a faint smile of gratitude. Xiaomin looked left and right, watching her sister and Sister Feiruo exchange glances across the space, and her appetite opened up.

An hour passed quickly, but the meal showed no signs of ending. Jian Xiyan was only halfway through when Lin Feiruo began to hesitate. Tonight’s salon was a rare opportunity, and Dr. Yu had saved a ticket for her—she didn’t want to miss it no matter what.

She had to lean over and whisper an explanation to Jian Xiyan: “I have a very important arrangement tonight, so I have to leave early. I told Xiaomin, but I’m afraid…”

Jian Xiyan looked sideways and saw Lin Feiruo’s bright eyes filled with strong expectation. She had seen this expression before, more than once. Jian Xiyan’s first reaction: Is Lin Feiruo going to see Yan Shan?

Besides Yan Shan, she had never seen anyone make Lin Feiruo so urgent. But she had no right to interfere, and besides, tonight’s dinner was Xiaomin delaying her. But at the thought of Lin Feiruo being so spineless again, she couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed. She had actually thought Lin Feiruo had changed; it turned out it was just because they were further apart and Lin Feiruo didn’t want her to know.

She nodded: “Understood, go ahead.”

Lin Feiruo glanced at Xiaomin, feeling conflicted about how to say it.

“I’ll take her home. Go ahead with your business.” Jian Xiyan noticed Lin Feiruo was being even colder than before. But she couldn’t explain too much here, especially with Xiaomin present.

She stood up and took her bag: “Xiaomin, I have something to do so I’m leaving first. I’ll go pay the bill, you guys take your time eating.”

Xiaomin wanted to stop her, but Jian Xiyan called out: “Xiaomin, have the waiter change the pot of tea.”

After Lin Feiruo left, Xiaomin instantly lost her spirit, like a deflated balloon. Jian Xiyan pretended not to see and continued to eat elegantly.

“Sis, you have a really good appetite today.” Xiaomin noticed her sister had been eating for a long time.

“You invited me to dinner; wouldn’t it be rude not to give you ‘face’ by eating too little?”

Xiaomin knew her sister had caught on and couldn’t be bothered to struggle, looking defeated: “It seems my ‘face’ isn’t worth much.”

By the time they came out of Zhixiang Restaurant, it was past 9:30 PM. Jian Xiyan had eaten more than usual and decided to walk along the scenic path. To their surprise, there were so many people walking at night that the sisters only walked a short distance before finding it too crowded and choosing to return.

While waiting for the driver to bring the car, Xiaomin held her sister’s arm: “Sis, what did Sister Feiruo whisper in your ear just now?”

“Nothing.”

“But your expression clearly changed.”

Jian Xiyan was as calm as water: “You saw wrong.”

Xiaomin was about to say something when she was suddenly blinded by a strong light. Then, she heard a roar rapidly approaching, and screams erupted around them. Jian Xiyan was also startled by the sudden noise. When she turned, a car with bright headlights was driving straight toward them, giving no time for any buffer.

Her first reaction was to push Xiaomin away, and she herself also retreated repeatedly. Xiaomin, however, was also pushing her; both were thinking of protecting the other. The forces of the pull and push canceled each other out, and neither could truly get away. Jian Xiyan realized the car seemed to be coming for her. With no way to avoid it, she could only throw Xiaomin aside with force and move to the other side herself.

The car wasn’t nimble enough in its turn, but the front of the car was large. Jian Xiyan’s response time was limited, and in the end, her leg was hit. The car didn’t continue forward; instead, it reversed, seemingly wanting to run her over repeatedly. By this time, the bodyguards had reacted and rushed over to form a protective barrier. Jian Xiyan saw the black sedan being forced to stop before she felt the sharp pain in her leg
