Chapter 323 Jiang Yan visits
"You're not allowed to go anywhere today. Stay home and rest."
The man's attitude was forceful, and Song Qianyi had no strength to resist. She obediently nodded and, under Ji Jingshen's care, ate some stomach-soothing porridge and took her medicine. She soon fell into a drowsy sleep, but she was still worried about the company's affairs.
I can't sleep soundly even in my dreams.
A slender finger gently massaged her furrowed brow until she stopped frowning before leaving.
Seeing Song Qianyi, who had finally gained some weight recently, now thin again, I felt incredibly sorry for her. However, the most important thing now is to help the Song Group overcome this crisis.
Song Qianyi slept for the entire morning. If he hadn't been woken up by the phone ringing, he probably would have slept until evening. Seeing the two words "Jiang Yan" flashing on the screen, his still somewhat hazy consciousness instantly cleared up.
"Hey?"
Song Qianyi's voice was a little hoarse from not drinking water for too long, but to Jiang Yan, it sounded like Song Qianyi was suffering a huge blow.
The thought of her current listless state and impending mental breakdown filled Jiang Yan with immense pleasure.
"Mrs. Ji, I heard that your company has run into trouble and it's even trending on social media. How are you doing now?"
Her tone was full of worry, as if it were a concerned call from a very good friend, but Song Qianyi did not believe her.
After pondering her intentions for a moment, I understood what she wanted to do.
With a helpless sigh, he sat up in bed and said irritably, "I don't know who reported our company behind our backs. Now it's a complete mess, and I can't control it at all. If this matter isn't handled properly, the group might just go bankrupt."
The woman's voice revealed suppressed pain and despair, as if she was trying her best to control her emotions.
However, the two did not talk face to face. Although Song Qianyi's tone was pained, her expression was very relaxed.
It has to be said that the medicine Ji Jingshen gave her this morning was very effective. After a good night's sleep, she felt much better, and after sweating a lot, she felt less feverish.
"Mrs. Ji, are you sick? Why don't I come over and keep you company? Mr. Ji is busy with company matters every day, so he certainly can't take care of you."
Song Qianyi raised her eyebrows slightly and said with delight, "Great! I'm so bored at home all by myself. It would be wonderful if you could come and keep me company. Maybe you're even my lucky star. Once you arrive, my company's crisis will be resolved."
How could she possibly undo that? A mocking smile curled at the corner of Jiang Yan's mouth.
She had finally managed to push Song Qianyi to this point, and she would absolutely not give her any room to maneuver.
To prevent Song Qianyi from backing out, Jiang Yan visited her that afternoon with gifts.
"Madam Ji, why do you look so pale? Are you seriously ill?"
Before Jiang Yan arrived, Song Qianyi had already been fussing in the dressing room for an hour. Looking at her sickly face in the mirror with her fake bare face, she was very satisfied.
It seems her makeup skills are quite good.
"Come in first."
Her voice was hoarse, as if she had been abused.
Jiang Yan was somewhat surprised, but more than that, she was excited. It was so satisfying to see her in such a disheveled state.
"Don't worry too much about the company's affairs. I believe they will be resolved soon. However, I've noticed that the tax bureau officials have been here for several days now. When will they leave?"
Looking at the thin Song Qianyi, she discreetly inquired about the company's news.
“I don’t know either. Last time, the company’s shareholders argued with me for a long time about this. Don’t laugh at me, but all my illnesses are caused by them.”
Song Qianyi looked worried; it seemed there really was something shady going on in the company.
If it gets discovered, the whole company is finished.
Seeing her like this, Jiang Yan breathed a sigh of relief and went to the kitchen to pour her a glass of water.
"Don't think about that too much right now. The most important thing for you is to get your body back in shape. Drink this cup of hot water first, and then get some rest."
Looking at the cup being brought to her, Song Qianyi suddenly felt a strong sense of resistance, and cold sweat kept breaking out on her back.
"Okay, thank you."
When she reached for the cup, she almost knocked it over because she didn't have the strength. Fortunately, Jiang Yan caught her in time, preventing this farce from happening.
"lady!"
Seeing Song Qianyi's pale face, the housekeeper worriedly stepped forward and helped her to the sofa.
"Miss, I'm so sorry, it's getting late. You should go home now. Our staff is really not feeling well enough to see guests."
Jiang Yan hesitated for a moment, not wanting to see Song Qianyi about to faint, so she gritted her teeth, turned around, and left.
"Then Madam Ji, remember to drink the water; it's good for your throat."
"Thank you."
Song Qianyi nodded weakly, and only after watching her leave did she sit up from the sofa with a cold face.
She hadn't misread the eagerness in Jiang Yan's eyes just now; it wasn't a wish for her to get better, but rather a desire for her to drink that glass of water.
Knowing that he had specially gone to the kitchen to pour the water, Song Qianyi became even more vigilant. Without even moving, she directly asked the housekeeper to send it to the research lab to check the water quality.
"Madam, should we send someone to bring her back first?"
The butler looked serious. He had realized something was wrong with what had just happened, which was why he had stepped forward to help drive the person away.
It's unbelievable that the murderer is now so brazenly committing crimes. If they hadn't discovered it in time, the lady might already be a victim.
The housekeeper grew angrier the more he thought about it.
"Not for now. There's no evidence yet, and keeping her around is useful," Song Qianyi said in a slightly somber tone.
When Ji Jingshen returned home that evening, he learned from the housekeeper that Jiang Yan had come by and that the glass of water had been sent for testing.
"Has she done anything outrageous? Otherwise, let's go to the hospital for a full checkup."
Ji Jingshen looked worried, his anger towards Jiang Yan had reached its peak.
“I’m fine. I’ve been on guard against her ever since she walked in, and I’m sure she has a lot of malice towards us. If I’m not mistaken, there must have been something added to that glass of water just now.”
Song Qianyi narrowed her eyes, her tone certain, but she hadn't yet found the reason why Jiang Yan was targeting them.
Just as the two were about to go to the study to review the company's recent situation, they received a call from the neighbor lady they had left there.
"Hello, my landlord is going back to his country tonight. When would be a convenient time for you to come over? I'll make the arrangements for you."
The old woman's tone on the phone was ingratiating, thinking that if she could handle things well this time, she might get another generous reward.
