Chapter 94: Chapter 94
"Mr. Tang, why aren’t you getting in the car yet?"
Qin Shuyi was Tang Jingyao’s female companion, and at this moment, she stood alone in front of an electric screen vehicle, daring only to wait, not to urge.
"He’s waiting for someone," Tang Jingyao glanced at the steel watch on his wrist, "Almost there."
Tang Jingyao’s words gave Ye Yan a sudden sense of crisis, but she couldn’t quite put her finger on what it was.
It wasn’t until Fu Xingzhou came over and scooped her into his arms that she realized, "Running around with a twisted ankle, you made it worse."
Qin Shuyi watched with wide eyes as Fu Xingzhou carried Ye Yan into the car, fearing her injured ankle might get squeezed, he held her tightly in his arms without letting go.
She had seen too much pretense in this circle.
Had seen Fu Xingzhou before, but this was the first time she saw him being so tender and caring toward a woman, hurting for her to his bones.
Dr. Ye was different from the rest of the female companions they brought out.
"Who is Tang Jingyao waiting for?"
Ye Yan had a bad feeling.
Before Fu Xingzhou could answer, an electric screen car sped over from afar. Seeing the familiar face in the car, Ye Yan felt her world spin.
Meng Tian carried a small suitcase, dressed in an ordinary white tracksuit, her hair tied in a high ponytail. At first glance, she looked like a fresh university student.
After jumping off the car, she walked briskly over to Tang Jingyao.
Tang Jingyao was pleased, "Get in."
Meng Tian didn’t speak, she sat in the nearest electric screen vehicle. Soon after, Tang Jingyao also got in, sitting beside her in the back row.
As the car was about to drive away, Qin Shuyi couldn’t hold back any longer, "Mr. Tang, what about me?"
Tang Jingyao glanced at her, "You take He Xuan’s car."
Having said that, he no longer paid attention to Qin Shuyi, turning his head to tell the driver to start the car.
Qin Shuyi stood there alone, feeling as if everyone was looking at her, and she was like an abandoned doll, casually tossed to someone else.
In the eyes of these rich people, she was just too cheap, so cheap that she was dispensable, with no dignity at all.
Qin Shuyi watched the direction Tang Jingyao drove off, unable to stop a coldness from welling up in her eyes.
"Miss Qin, please get in the car," He Xuan’s electric screen vehicle stopped beside her.
The motorcade set off majestically, and Ye Yan tried to get out of the car several times, but was pulled back by Fu Xingzhou each time. Eventually, he held her tightly in his embrace, unable to move even slightly.
Ye Yan glared at him, agitated.
"Did you know beforehand that ’Mr. Tang’ was waiting for Tiantian?"
"Just found out."
"Just?"
"When Tang Jingyao mentioned he was waiting for someone..."
Ye Yan, fuming, didn’t know what to say; indeed, the only people who truly understood Madman Tang were his fellow madmen.
"We can’t intervene in their affairs," Fu Xingzhou held the indignant little woman in his arms tighter, "Our interference would only make the situation more chaotic."
"Tang Jingyao, he really has gone mad,"
Although Ye Yan was annoyed, she could still hear Fu Xingzhou’s advice. Even if Meng Tian could leave the country smoothly, it was not guaranteed that Tang Jingyao wouldn’t follow her inland. As long as the conflict between them was unresolved, as long as he couldn’t let go of his grudge, he would continue to entangle with Meng Tian, relentlessly.

The equestrian club at the resort was open for the first time today.
The racetrack in Ao City was the largest by area, with the most complete variety of horse breeds available. World-class equestrian performances could even be held here.
Ye Yan had no time to choose a horse, dragging her injured foot as she found Meng Tian in the changing room.
"What happened to your foot?" Meng Tian, who had just picked out a riding outfit, saw her friend hop in like a squirrel.
"I twisted it, it’s not serious. Why did you come here, did Tang Jingyao discover something?" Ye Yan’s tone was anxious.
Meng Tian helped her sit down on the sofa and took out her phone to show her.
"Meng Group’s sixth pharmaceutical plant produces a health product which contains an ingredient that’s beyond the permissible level. If consumed over a long period, it can lead to serious kidney failure."
"Is this true?"
Meng Tian shook her head, "My dad has already sent someone to check it out. Fortunately, the whistleblower hasn’t fully leaked the news yet, so the media hasn’t started to blow it up."
Not fully leaked?
Ye Yan seemed to smell conspiracy, "Do you think it’s the handiwork of Tang Jingyao, deliberately giving you a warning?"
"I asked him, and he wouldn’t say, but it’s very likely it was him."
Meng Tian held her helmet, her gaze cold, "Ah Yan, I’m not going to the inland anymore. I could just leave, but Madman Tang would target my parents. They’re quite old now, they can’t withstand such turmoil. If similar things happen again and again, I’m afraid they won’t make it."
"That’s just too despicable." Ye Yan clenched her fists in anger, "You’re not at fault at all."
"In his eyes, I am at fault, the root of all evil. Unless I pay a price, he won’t let things go. It’s better I bear it myself than to involve my family."
Ye Yan couldn’t help but hug her, "No matter what, you have me. If it comes to it, we’ll fight him."
"Don’t be silly. Mr. Fu and Madman Tang are brothers. What would it mean for you to fight his brother? It would put him in a difficult position."
"But still..."
"Don’t worry, your Sister Meng isn’t someone who gets pushed around easily. Since Madman Tang wants to act crazy, then I’ll join him in his madness,"
If it comes down to it, it’s a do-or-die situation.
After changing into riding attire in the changing room, Fu Xingzhou had already gone to select a horse.
He kept a few fine horses here, all of which were capable of competing in international horse races, large in size, wild in spirit, not easy to control, but they all became gentle around him, like the Sijiu, showing no backbone.
Ye Yan was sitting and waiting when she saw Li Xi walking a horse past.
"Dr. Ye."
Li Xi approached, "Can your foot handle horse riding?"
Ye Yan shook her head, "I don’t really know how to ride horses anyway."
"Mr. Fu is good at horse riding, he can take you." Li Xi patted the white horse beside him, "Dr. Ye, that day at Pujing Casino, it was you who found my pendant and returned it to me, thank you."
"It was nothing, don’t mention it."
Li Xi seemed a bit embarrassed, "That day, it was Mr. Liang who called me over. I thought he wanted me to accompany Mr. Fu, so I took the initiative. If Dr. Ye saw anything, please don’t take it to heart; it was my own doing. Mr. Fu was very angry at the time and immediately sent me away."
Ye Yan realized Li Xi was referring to the incident involving sitting on his lap.
"It’s fine, I should thank you for speaking up for me today." She wasn’t really one to argue with others, and hadn’t intended to pay attention to that model. But to her surprise, Li Xi had defended her, "I really agree with what you said."
Li Xi looked down and seemed to smile bashfully, "Dr. Ye, don’t comfort me now. I’m really just like those women who like to cling to men, yet I talk about high principles like they’re my own."
"If I remember correctly, you just started your second year of university today, right?"
"Yes, Dr. Ye, you’re right."
Ye Yan said, "You’re so smart, you must see that Liang Zheng isn’t a good match. I’m not sure why you’re staying by his side, but I know that everyone has a fate they can’t resist and choices they can’t make. No matter if you’re in a quagmire right now, as long as your heart remains unchanged, that’s admirable."
Li Xi had expected Ye Yan to look down on someone like her, but she didn’t expect her to say such things.
"Dr. Ye, actually..."
