Yet You're In Love With an IdiotChapter 14.1

Bonus Ko-fi update


Jian Suiying felt down. He had no idea where he somehow bumped into after drinking too much last night. There was a bruise on his neck, which looked really unsightly. When he went to the company, the female staff all looked at him vaguely, and they all wanted their thoughts to be wrong. D9uYeE

He didn’t leave his office till his lunch break. When he arrived, he knew that Xiao Lin-zi and Li Yu went to work in the morning. Jian Suiying is very satisfied. Neither of those children were lazy.

He asked Secretary Liang to book a ticket for Xiao Lin-zi for the evening, and asked him to come back only if he had any progress.

After two phone calls to the company, it was time for lunch. Secretary Liang has been with him for several years. She is very considerate and reasonable. When Li Yu came to the company, she ordered two lunches and sent them to Jian Suiying’s office.

Jian Suiying waited but didn’t see Li Yu coming over. No one answered the phone either. Jian Suiying was so hungry that he couldn’t sit still anymore and didn’t want to eat by himself either, so he went out to find Li Yu. DEl7Af

This office building was also one of his assets. His company occupied three floors, and the rest were being rented out. Still, it was difficult to find someone within the three floors.

As soon as he asked, someone told him Li Yu and Jian Suilin that they were in the conference room, so Jian Suiying headed there.

The two were indeed in the conference room, one sitting and the other standing.

Jian Suiying saw Jian Suilin’s hands were on the table and was saying something sternly, as if he was questioning Li Yu. He couldn’t see Li Yu’s face as he was sitting with his back to him, but from his defensive posture and that he was holding his chest with both hands, his expression shouldn’t be much better.

Jian Suiying’s impression was that the relationship between the two, except for the last time he got injured by Li Yu, has been very good. Why does it look different now?

Jian Suiying approached them suspiciously. As he approached, he heard Xiao Lin-zi say, “You should’ve told him clearly and let him stand on our side, so there would be no such troubles like this.”

Then Li Yu spoke lowly, “You don’t understand. If I told him, he would definitely stop us at that time.”

Jian Suiying was completely confused about their conversation. JmI RZ

Then Jian Suilin saw him through the glass. He stood straight and his face didn’t look very good.

Jian Suiying pushed the door open, leaned against the door, and frowned, “What are you two arguing about?”

Jian Suilin said, “Work matters.”

Li Yu glanced at Jian Suiying and turned away. O4pt6

Jian Suiying felt that the two were hiding something from him, but he couldn’t guess what it was. He didn’t plan to ask at this time. Was it possible to ask someone directly if they really wanted to hide something? Even if one does have to ask, they should break down the details one by one first. One can’t do it face to face immediately, or one could be fooled.

He glanced at Xiao Lin-zi then at Li Yu; “Lunch has been delivered. Let’s go eat, we’ll talk about it afterwards.”

Li Yu stood up and walked out calmly.

When he brushed past Jian Suiying’s side, Jian Suiying deliberately hit him with his shoulder. He looked at him in surprise, as if he had just realized Jian Suiying’s presence, then his mind suddenly cleared. He chuckled, “We often do this. We used to argue when playing football. Let’s eat.” jzUtXx

Jian Suiying looked at him thoughtfully then turned away.

Jian Suilin stood stiffly in the conference room, gritting his teeth and looking at their backs that were leaving together.

During lunch, Jian Suiying pretended to ask casually, “What did you talk about just now? You looked very worried.” 3VJ5dZ

Li Yu buried himself in eating his meal and casually replied, “Nothing, just company matters.”

Their meal was very dull. After all, they all had things in mind. But while one mind was felling stormy and pretending to be calm on the surface, the other was full of doubts.

Although Li Yu hit the nail on this matter, Jian Suiying’s curiosity was still not extinguished.

After dinner, he researched a project with Li Yu and several other employees all afternoon. After the research, he was almost off with work. When all the employees left, Jian Suiying took out his phone and planned to call Jian Suilin.

However, when he called, the phone was turned off, and he remembered that Xiao Lin-zi would’ve already taken the plane to Beihai. It was difficult to extort a confession on the phone, so he didn’t call again. He planned to wait until Xiao Lin-zi came back. Afterwards, he soon forgot about it. eb3Kh5

Jian Suilin went there for a full week.

Jian Suiying wasn’t idle in his investigation either.

As one of the company’s two major projects is nearing completion and the other is under stable construction, both projects can be opened within the year, and he must actively prepare for investment projects for the next year. So far, he has several feasible projects in his hands and has held several meetings with senior executives of the company to study them. Most people were optimistic about the Fifth Ring Road project, but because of the high risk and investment, no one dared directly suggest doing this.

Jian Suiying was very greedy for that land. If he took it, even if he didn’t do anything, he would still make hundreds of millions of profits if he sold it. This project made everyone in the company salivate. Everyone wanted to join in and do a good job. NuV0nj

After several meetings and studies, they have clearly understood the matter regarding that land.

The project was indeed a good asset and had clear property rights. They can’t pick out any problems, and it can be transferred to them immediately after paying for it, and it can be applied for construction immediately after the transfer. With such fantastic assets they had available for loan applications, the bank will also help make payments very easily. In addition to the large investment in the early stage, this place was like a gold mine. As long as it operates normally, the profit can be calculated in billions, which is a huge leap for the company’s prospects.

After several evaluations and discussions, everyone felt that the project was very feasible, and their only problem was funding. Because of the problem with money, Jian Suiying couldn’t easily decide if he would go for it, and his subordinates didn’t dare say anything casually about it. He was afraid that if something happened to the project, it would be his own responsibility, and nobody could afford it.

Li Yu, on the other hand, has always been cautious and even opposed to the project. 4kbQE5

In fact, as a college student, he had no real voice in the company, but because Jian Suiying, the big boss, thought highly of him, he could attend any important meeting and give his two cents on matters.

Although he was young, he was hardworking and had his own opinions. What he said about the project was something that Jian Suiying took very seriously.

Li Yu’s negative attitude on the issue was also like a bucket of cold water for Jian Suiying, which calmed his greedy mind. Finally, he decided to wait and see for a while. It’s better to wait for their project in Qinhuangdao to open. By then, the company will come in with more money, and they’ll have the confidence to operate.

Jian Suilin went to the company first after returning from Beihai. He didn’t tell Jian Suiying that he was back. He had to first see Li Yu before answering Jian Suiying’s questions regarding the inside information on Beihai.

After talking to Li Yu on the phone, he knew that Li Yu was at the company, so he got off the plane and didn’t return home, going straight to the company.

Neither of them had their own independent office, so they could only talk in a conference room. But they didn’t dare go to the conference room with the semi-transparent walls again this time, so they found a fully closed one for fear of being seen.

Jian Suilin looked tired. He was carrying a suitcase in his hand, and his white shirt was damp with sweat. atpeh5

Li Yu sat across from him impassively, watching Jian Suilin put down a stack of documents in front of him. Then they stared at each other, hoping to find each other’s weakness from each other’s eyes.

Jian Suilin slowly said, “Li Yu, you must help me this time…”

At this moment, Jian Suiying was looking for Li Yu. He was working and was at his desk half an hour ago. How could this guy disappear in a flash? Jian Suiying walked over to Li Yu’s desk where his phone was still lying on top, and he turned it on, seeing the recent call record was “Suilin”.

Xiao Lin-zi? Did Xiao Lin-zi call him? xJcSY2

Jian Suiying put the phone back in its place and walked out of his office. He happened to see the cleaning auntie and asked her, “Did you see Li Yu?”

“Xiao Li-zi… yes, I did. He was with your brother just now.”

“My brother?”

“Yes.” PpCMA4

Jian Suiying then had doubts. He didn’t know that Xiao Lin-zi had come back. When he went to the company, the first thing he did was not to report to him, but to find Li Yu first? What’s going on?

Jian Suiying continued to ask, “Where did they go?”

“I don’t know, just watch them go that way.”

The first floor of his company covered over 1000sqm, and there were at least ten offices in every direction. Jian Suiying frowned and looked around, hesitating if he should find them. DYq9vL

He felt very uncomfortable. He still doesn’t know the reason for the dispute between the two people that day. Who was the “him” they were talking about? Was it someone he knows? Li Yu’s silence that day peeved him and his doubts. Today, Xiao Lin-zi went back to Beijing without informing him. He didn’t report to Jian Suiying when he arrived at the company, but went to find Li Yu first. What on earth was going on here?

Jian Suiying wasn’t normally a suspicious person. He was the type of person who liked to play cautiously and research things skillfully. Nothing positive would result if those around him were plotting against him, because then his energy would be diverted from doing serious business and instead go toward preventing it.

But now the people who were hiding a secret behind his back are his own brother and his own little lover. Both of them were on his side. He felt really unhappy, thinking that they were hiding something from him together.

Jian Suiying is a very overbearing and chauvinistic person. Since he was a young child, he has always felt like the head of the family. He can’t tolerate others challenging his authority. He could still tolerate Li Yu telling him that he “doesn’t want to talk about it,”  but Xiao Lin-zi… he can’t stand that boy daring to act without telling him. rqxUgz

So he searched for them in every office. He had to find out what they were doing behind his back.

 

Li Yu couldn’t sit on the stool any longer. He stood up, livid, and said sharply, “Jian Suilin, are you crazy!?”

Jian Suilin said lightly, “No, I’m very clear-headed right now.” BzyfJA

“How dare you? If you do such a thing, your brother will kill you!”

Jian Suilin smirked, “He won’t, and even then, the Jian family should still change the person in charge.”

Li Yu swung the documents on the table to the ground. “Why do you think I will even help you with this? The grudge between you brothers…”

“The grudge between us brothers?” Jian Suilin took over the conversation. “You’ve been trapped in the middle of this issue for a long time now. Do you still want to say it’s none of your business now?” gRUl9c

Li Yu spoke harshly, “Yes, I really can’t get out of it, but I have already done what I should do for you. I can’t promise anything else anymore!”

Jian Suilin asked him in a sarcastic voice, “Li Yu, are you in love with my brother?”

Li Yu panicked, “Don’t speak such nonsense. That’s two different things. No matter how much he’s wronged you before, he’s still your brother after all. How can you even tell your father when you do such a thing?”

“You don’t need to worry about this. You just need to help me, and I’ll even give you 15% of the company’s shares after it’s done.” JGxyrF

“Impossible!” Li Yu said angrily. “Jian Suilin, you’re really crazy. How have you become like this? ” While Li Yu was still angry, he could also feel a burst of pain. Is this the gentle and weak Jian Suilin he remembers?

Jian Suilin clenched his fist behind his back and slowly released it. The expression on his face slowly became sad, “Li Yu, do you like my brother?”

Li Yu turned his head away stiffly, unable to answer.

Jian Suilin repressed his resentment and spoke lowly, “Have you forgotten our agreement over ten years ago? You said that when you grow up, you will beat Jian Suiying up and never let him bully me again. You said that you’ll help me and help me get everything I deserve.” RCQPeN

Li Yu clenched his teeth and said, “But you said later on that he was good to you. As the young master of the Jian family, he didn’t neglect you nor prevent you from doing things. You told me all this yourself.”

Jian Suilin explained, “At that time, I’ve already been separated from you for so many years, and I grew to be sensible. It’s impossible for me to find someone to complain about grievances like from when I was a child. I also began to learn what to and what not to say to others. If I complained about it and word had gone around and reached his ears, I would have a harder time.”

Jian Suilin grabbed Li Yu’s hand, and his beautiful face was beseeching him, “Have you forgotten what he did to me? Have you forgotten how we met for the first time? Have you forgotten what you said? Only you can help me in this world, otherwise, my mother and I can only watch him from the shadows and forever bow to him!”

Li Yu closed his eyes and explained. “Suilin, what you took from your brother is already tens of millions of yuan. Our company will be listed in Hong Kong next year, and the prospects are already very good. As long as we manage it well, the development won’t be worse than your brother’s company’s performance. Are you still not satisfied? How much more do you want? Do you understand the concept of family? Family is still a community of interests, both prospers and loses together. Have you considered what the consequences will be for your family if you go on to fight your brother like this?” 4fLsB

Jian Suilin put his hand gently on Li Yu’s face.

Li Yu opened his eyes in surprise, and looked at him with both suspicion and caution.

Jian Suilin said softly, “Of course I understand this, I just took my brother’s things into my hands. After all, it’s still the Jian family’s prospects, isn’t it? I just hope my mother and I can finally hold our heads up in the Jian family house.”

“Then you shouldn’t use this method.” udmQ5L

Jian Suilin approached Li Yu and whispered, “Li Yu, do you like me?”

Li Yu felt like he had been struck by lightning and stared at Jian Suilin in a daze.

“You must’ve already forgotten that night in Beihai, when you were drunk. You told me that you liked me.”

Li Yu’s face changed, and he pursed his lips. aFmcWK

Jian Suilin coaxed him. “What you like is not Jian Suiying, but me. You know it in your heart, right?”

Li Yu only felt a chill in his heart.

The one he likes and wants to protect the most in his life is the little boy who was forced to wear women’s clothes by Jian Suiying over ten years ago and the one who secretly hid in the corner crying. But this is not the one who is scheming against his own brother.

When he returned in the third year of his senior high school, he reunited with Jian Suilin. He was as beautiful and smart as he always thought, with a gentle smile on his face. He was so happy that he felt that such a beautiful person like Jian Suilin would be enough for him for a lifetime. But maybe he has changed, or maybe he doesn’t know him at all. Who can say, from a short time of just over a year. TMrdhO

Although, he was confused. He couldn’t determine his feelings for Jian Suiying, and he also couldn’t find his love and pity for Jian Suilin.

He would never agree to Jian Suilin’s request. He grabbed Jian Suilin’s hand and still wanted to dissuade him. “Suilin, you’re right. I like you, but that’s why…”

Suddenly, a loud bang exploded in their ears. The quiet conference room was like it was blasted off, and the solid wooden door was kicked open. Jian Suiying, like a villain, glared at the two who were close to each other and were holding each other’s hands.

Li Yu and Jian Suilin’s expressions changed. P8Mhw

 


Thank you for the ko-fi, Anya!

The truth is out 👀 d8eRQc

Also, I’d like to share my two cents XD while Jian-da is overbearing about him being the head of the family, like I said many chapters ago, he literally is the breadwinner of the Jians. Many relatives, while they do thrive on their own, still rely on his company’s growth & his expertise. Li Yu has a point in questioning Jian Suilin’s motives, because it really will affect the whole Jian family. (I can’t say more due to spoilers, but you’ll see in future chapters what I mean) The whole brothers issue is another (long and complex) matter entirely, hoo boy. After all, the 3 main characters in this novel are all scumbags XD and the issues amongst the three are quite complex.

    I felt really tense every time Li Yu and Jian Suilin would try to talk privately. They’re in the wrong and need to be caught, of course, but when?!

    Let’s see if the three of them wind up in the hospital from brawling. 😵
