CHAPTER 219 (2/2)

After tasting the big cake that was Lance, Chengyu’s eyes would only aim higher and be greedier.

Jiang Xie was dormant for many years and this was the right timing.

He returned to China and the Jiang family, which grew up overseas, became a commercial city in D City.

Jiang Xie didn’t contact Xie Xi and never even met him.

He never stopped searching for news about Xie Xi and was probably even more aware of Xie Xi than Xie Xi himself. The thing that Xie Xi wanted most was power and money. Then Jiang Xie would make him lose them.

Jiang Xie didn’t use any despicable means. He just diluted Xie Xi’s power by buying shares in Chengyu.

This was a long and patient process. However, Jiang Xie had enough patience. He wasn’t anxious. Like a cheetah staring at prey, he stared at Xie Xi, waiting to give the fatal blow.

In the past two years, the changes in Chengyu’s shares were too great and the shareholders proposed to convene a board meeting of directors.

Once this board meeting opened, Xie Xi who only held 28% of the shares was bound to lose control of Chengyu.

Jiang Xie finally surfaced, having grabbed nearly 40% of Chengyu’s shares. He was the absolute major shareholder.

The board meeting was approaching and Xie Xi finally called Jiang Xie’s number.

Neither of them changed their numbers. The numbers they used to keep in contact during that one year were sealed and never appeared on each other’s screens again.

In that year, Jiang Xie had set a special bell ringtone for Xie Xi. Thus, he knew when Xie Xi called.

After so many years, Jiang Xie had changed several mobile phones but it was directly synchronized with the old one. That’s why the special ring tone was still there.

This was a melody that Jiang Xie really liked. He didn’t know the source but whenever he heard it, he would think of that starry night when the soaked Xie Xi was soft and fragile.

Jiang Xie sneered, pain tearing at his heart.

The information he discovered after so many years told him that Xie Xi could swim and had won trophies in amateur freestyle.

Jiang Xie’s 17 year old self was actually convinced by such nonsense.

Jiang Xie picked up the call, his voice peaceful. “Chief Xie.”

On the other end of the phone, Xie Xi might be uneasy and nervous but there was still a smile in his voice, intentionally or unintentionally pulling at Jiang Xie’s heartstrings. “Shall we meet?”

Jiang Xie felt the blood in his chest surge and he lowered his voice. “Where?”

Xie Xi chuckled. “Have you ever been to the Chengyu building?”

Jiang Xie didn’t say anything.

Xie Xi slowly told him, “Come to my office. Here, you can see the most beautiful sunset in D City.”

This was something that many people knew. A famous photographer tried every means to go to the top of the Chengyu building to shoot it but their request was doomed to fail since it was Xie Xi’s office.

The photographer didn’t give up and his series of requests made people more curious. The beautiful scenery from the top floor of Chengyu became the yearning of many people.

Jiang Xie went to the Chengyu building.

He hadn’t been to Xie Xi’s office before. During that one year, they unloaded all their work and never spoke of each other’s identity.

Jiang Xie didn’t invite Xie Xi to Jiang and Xie Xi didn’t invite Jiang Xie to Chengyu.

At the time, Jiang Xie thought their pure feelings went beyond business. Now it was obvious. It was just acting. How could Xie Xi bring the other person back to his place?

The elevator stopped and Jiang Xie stepped out onto soft carpet, walking straight to the other end of the office.

The thick, double wooden doors opened and Jiang Xie saw a beautiful scenery that shook his soul.

The enter wall was like transparent glass and the sunset was like blood. The sky had become a magnificent red and the person standing in front of the window seemed to be integrated into the painting. It was as if he would step on air and the next second…

Jiang Xie’s heart was tense and he couldn’t help wanting to stretch out a hand.

Xie Xi turned around, his facial features adorned by the beauty of the twilight behind him.

Jiang Xie was a bit stunned and used great power to move in front of this person.

Xie Xi’s demeanour was calm. He didn’t show rage at the impending loss of everything, let alone panic and tension. There wasn’t even the slightest irritation.

He leisurely leaned against his desk and asked, “Say it, what do you want?”

An unspeakable humiliation surged in Jiang Xie’s heart and he leaned closer in a condescending manner. “You know.”

The deception and teasing of six years ago caused his heart to fall into the mud.

Xie Xi smiled. Against the sunset of the sky, his smile was like a siren.

“I know? Hmm…” Xie Xi got up and approached Jiang Xie, whispering in his ear, “You wanted to fuck me six years ago.”
