I transmigrated into the villain's white moonlight, but the protagonist is my brother.

Chapter 137 I Won't Leave

Xie Yutong is petite and slender, and her tearful face makes people's hearts soften.

Regardless of who is soft-hearted, Xie Qingyu certainly won't be.

You vicious woman! And you're still crying?!

You even drug people with aphrodisiacs! That's terrifying!

The petite girl, tears welling in her eyes, looked pleadingly at the somber-faced man, "This deal is really important, we really can't breach the contract..."

The employees outside the door appeared to be working diligently, but in reality, they were all listening intently.

The contract between the Gu family and the Xie family was very valuable, and only the Gu family could handle such a large order in one go. If the contract is terminated, the Xie family's cash flow will be cut off.

The news about Mr. Gu unilaterally terminating the contract has been circulating in the company lately. After all, the penalty for breach of contract alone is not a small amount, and nobody knows what happened.

Xie Qingyu's face was cold, and he didn't even bother to let her into his office to sit down and talk. His thin lips uttered icy words, "The penalty for breach of contract has already been transferred to the Xie family's account. The contract is now void. Further discussion is pointless."

Xie Yutong was hurt by his cold expression. She wiped away her tears and said in a soft voice, "Could you let me in to talk?"

"I have nothing to say to the woman who drugged me. Please do as you please."

As soon as he finished speaking, several employees widened their eyes.

What? Did they hear me right?

Download what?

Several people sat at their workstations, separated by their computers, their faces beaming with excitement, their eagerness to watch the drama unfold practically reaching the heavens.

Xie Yutong's face turned pale instantly.

It turns out he knew everything.

The Xie family has been in turmoil these past few days because of this order.

Although they received the penalty for breach of contract, the amount was far from enough to cover the contract price, and their huge amount of building materials still faced the problem of no one wanting to buy them.

There's simply no one else in Yunchuan who can handle this, and even if we look in other provinces, we won't find a suitable one in a short time. We might really end up with a complete loss.

Xie Chengwei was completely baffled. He didn't know why his perfectly good business had suddenly fallen through, and he couldn't contact Xiao Gu no matter what he tried. Xiao Gu had simply blocked him, leaving him extremely anxious and at his wits' end.

Only Xie Yutong felt a little panicked, but she always felt that she had done something flawless, and besides, Aunt Jiang knew about it, so it shouldn't be that bad.

The result is now...

It felt like countless gossipy eyes were staring at her from behind. Xie Yutong's face flushed red and then turned pale. She shook her head and protested, "No, I didn't. How could I do such a thing? You're perfectly fine, aren't you? Besides, you need evidence to prove your point."

Xie Qingyu snorted coldly.

The surveillance footage had already been deleted by Jiang Yuanfeng's people.

Because she did something even more shameful that day, even the young lady in the Han family who owned the dog still doesn't know why her dog died.

The reason he was alright was because that glass of wine went into Xie Yan's stomach.

Growing angrier the more he thought about it, he laughed in exasperation, "My patience is limited. Before the Xie family goes bankrupt, get out of my sight."

Xie Yutong was so shocked that she forgot to cry. She stared blankly at the cold face of the man in front of her.

What does this mean? Is Mr. Gu trying to bankrupt their family?!

It's no big deal. She just drugged him, and besides, for some reason, nothing actually happened, so nobody lost anything!

Besides, she's completely devoted to Young Master Gu! The reason she was so eager to give Aunt Jiang Shen Yan's diagnosis certificate was to ensure that Young Master Gu could secure his position as heir!

She was both shocked and frightened, and her emotions got the better of her. She completely ignored Aunt Jiang's advice to keep a low profile for the time being, and instead rummaged through her bag for a few pieces of paper.

"Mr. Gu, my feelings for you are genuine. Everything I've done is for you. Look, this is Shen Yan's diagnosis. He's not worthy to compete with you! He has a mental illness!!"

Xie Qingyu's pupils contracted as he vaguely made out a few words on the paper.

What...

Schizophrenia.

Xie Yutong caused quite a commotion, and some employees couldn't help but peek over the shoulder, suddenly regretting not having security kick her out earlier.

Just then, a deep voice rang out from not far down the corridor, gentle yet chilling, "Are you talking about me?"

Immediately, besides Xie Yutong, even the employees who had witnessed the whole thing looked over at the sound.

There was a person leaning against the outer door of the tea room. He had long, straight legs, was holding a steaming cup of coffee, and was wearing a dark turtleneck sweater. He looked particularly lazy and relaxed.

Shen Yan's face looked very kind and gentle in the rising steam, but Xie Yutong instantly got goosebumps.

She choked back a sob, then forced herself to speak, "When did you get there?"

Upon hearing this, the young man slowly sipped his coffee. "Sorry, I listened to the whole thing."

At this point, Xie Yutong, who had initially resisted a confrontation, had no choice but to stammer, "This is your diagnosis report from Dr. Xu. You...you...you..."

Shen Yan strolled over casually, seemingly unconcerned about what she had said. He even approached her with obvious curiosity and asked, "What's wrong with me?"

The voice came from above, and his tall figure brought an immense sense of oppression. His voice was gentle yet sharp, like a cold, venomous snake, which frightened Xie Yutong so much that she broke out in a cold sweat.

She hadn't seen Shen Yan for a long time, and he was really different from before. He used to call her "senior sister" obediently, but now Xie Yutong felt a sense of threat to her life for no reason.

Seeing her pale face, Shen Yan chuckled softly. "Reports of dubious origin can't be used as evidence in court. You've really gone to great lengths."

Cold sweat beaded on Xie Yutong's forehead as she stammered, "This report is real..."

"So, you hope it's true?"

After saying that, Shen Yan lowered his head and whispered something in her ear.

Xie Yutong's eyes immediately filled with fear, and her petite body trembled, clearly frightened.

Not to mention her, even Xie Qingyu, who was standing next to her, felt a chill run down his spine from the atmosphere.

Despite Shen Yan's smile, he found it even more frightening.

To put it bluntly, Xie Qingyu and Shen Yan are actually the same age at heart, but he never knew that a boy of that age could exude such a cold and terrifying aura.

Xie Yutong stumbled back a few steps, completely defeated, and then simply turned and left.

She walked extremely fast, as if a ghost was chasing her.

Once the figure disappeared, Shen Yan finished his coffee, and he was clearly extremely calm, without the slightest panic.

This little incident quickly passed, and Shen Yan returned to normal. The employees simply assumed that Xie Yutong was acting crazy because she was desperate to climb the corporate ladder. In any case, at least no one in the company was talking about it anymore.

As for how they gossip in private, that's none of their business.

"Shen Yan, come in with me for a moment." Xie Qingyu called him in.

The person outside casually tossed aside a disposable cup and walked in. "What is it?"

The office door was slammed shut, and Xie Qingyu finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down. He looked at Shen Yan and saw that the young man was tall and elegant, and his fair and delicate face was even more beautiful against the dark collar of his sweater. He was extremely bright and beautiful.

Xie Qingyu let out another long sigh.

He knew his sister couldn't escape his seduction scheme; with looks like that, it was really hard to avoid it.

"What...what did you just say to Xie Yutong? Why did she turn around and run away?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yan smiled and said, "I was merely stating a fact: mentally ill people are not prosecuted for murder."

"......"

Threat!

A blatant threat!!

Xie Qingyu frowned. "Aren't you afraid of being arrested and having your samples tested?"

Why be afraid?

Shen Yan still looked calm, as if he were a healthy, normal person.

He would have believed it if Xie Qingyu hadn't had the script.

However, he originally thought that Jiang Yuanfeng would continue to cause trouble after his previous failure, but he didn't expect that he had been relatively quiet recently, as if he had given up.

The air was quiet for a moment, then Shen Yan suddenly blurted out, "Xie Yan drank the drug that Xie Yutong gave her that day."

He was speaking in a declarative sentence.

"Hmm," Xie Qingyu replied reluctantly.

Shen Yan seemed to be deep in thought. In some ways, he seemed to have to thank Xie Yutong.

Otherwise, my sister wouldn't have gotten together with him so quickly; they might still be in a cold war right now.

That was horrible.

"And that dog from that day..."

Xie Qingyu's spirits lifted, and he was thinking about how to bring it up when Shen Yan continued, "I know who did it, but I don't care. I have other things I care about more."

"Brother, please tell Aunt Jiang that as long as she stops bothering me, I can pretend nothing happened and I won't argue with you about anything anymore."

------

It's January again.

Temperatures have dropped to around zero degrees Celsius, and people on the street are gradually wrapping themselves in thick cotton-padded coats.

The final exams were held sporadically over a week. After finishing her last English exam, Xie Yan went to the lab to move some things.

She cleared out her study at home and even bought a large metal workbench, intending to bring home the pile of half-finished research results she had in the lab so she could continue studying them during the winter break.

The messy stuff, along with some books and documents, filled two suitcases and a large bag, but luckily Xie Yan was strong enough to pull them.

However, she had only walked a few steps when she felt a lightness on her body, as if someone had lifted her large backpack.

"With so much stuff, why didn't you call me?"

Shen Yan picked up the bag and slung it over one shoulder, then very naturally took the suitcase from Xie Yan's hand. "It's quite heavy. Luckily I came."

Xie Yan was taken aback. "Didn't you have something to do at the company today? Why are you at school?"

Shen Yan smiled and said, "I'll pick you up from school."

Before Xie Yan could say anything, a sudden gust of cold wind blew by, chilling her to the bone. Only then did she realize that Shen Yan was still wearing the same thin suit he wore at the company.

Xie Yan suddenly said, "Wait a minute."

Then she went to rummage through Shen Yan's backpack and took out a bright red scarf.

Bright red, festive and eye-catching, with neat and meticulous stitches, it's clear that a lot of effort was put into it.

"This is something I recently knitted, consider it a belated birthday gift for you, and I'm giving it to you now."

Shen Yan lowered his head in a daze, letting Xie Yan wrap the bright red scarf around his neck, even though it didn't match his business attire.

But it's very warm.

Xie Yan looked at the youthful-looking boy, whose face was made even more rosy by the red scarf, and couldn't help but exclaim, "So handsome, just as I imagined."

"Thank you sister, I like it very much."

Just then, a figure emerged from behind a bare, sturdy tree trunk not far away.

Tan Zhuoran rushed out like a wild man, waving a photograph in his hand, his face full of excitement.

"Aaaaaah, Xie Yan!! I took this life-changing photo!!! I'm sending it to you!!!"

When she got closer, Xie Yan could see clearly that Tan Zhuoran was holding a Polaroid camera in one hand and the photos she had just taken in the other.
