Chapter 1562: Neglect Breeds Mischief
Why can’t I, Wen Xinya, become number one in the world?
I, Wen Xinya, have vast financial power and wide connections. Why can’t I become number one in the world?
I, Wen Xinya, hold the skills and the recipe. Why can’t I become number one in the world?
Why can’t I, Wen Xinya, win against an international corporation and become number one in the world?
Her grand proclamation inside the meeting room echoed repeatedly in her mind. She had stunned both herself and everyone in the room.
Lanxin Company’s emergency meeting had ended, but it took a long while before Wen Xinya’s churning emotions finally calmed down.
Number one in the world!
This was something that Wen Xinya had not even dared to imagine before this meeting. Even though she planned to develop Lanxin Company into a world-cla.s.s corporation, she would never have dared to spout such an audacious claim!
However, this takeover business by that international corporation had her suddenly filled with lofty sentiments!
She, Wen Xinya, would succeed or die trying!
Wen Xinya was full of pep as hot blood coursed through her veins.
At this moment, she realized that it was not just a pipe dream to make Lanxin Company number one in the world.
Wen Xinya was beside herself with excitement. She stepped down hard on the accelerator and her car shot off like a rocket. That wild speed made her feel inexplicably high.
The sound of pursuing sirens also gave her an indescribable sense of thrill. This was something she had never experienced before.
Wen Xinya dialed Si Yiyan’s number as she drove. “Yan…”
“Has the Lanxin Company’s emergency meeting ended? Where are you now? Why are there the sounds of sirens?” Si Yiyan interrupted Wen Xinya. He was speaking quickly, with traces of wonder.
“I am just on the way back. There’s a police car chasing me, so irritating!” Wen Xinya’s dark eyes were filled with an exuberant sparkle. She could see from the rearview mirror that the police car was fast catching up.
Big boss Si, with an IQ as high as 300-400, felt his mind go blank. He asked an extremely brainless question, “Why is the police car chasing you?”
Actually, he couldn’t really be blamed for asking such a basic question. Wen Xinya had always been a very cautious, calm, sensible and wise girl. She had always been a rule-abiding driver, and never once violated any traffic rules since getting her driver’s license three years ago. She could more or less be hailed as a “model driver”.
He never imagined that Wen Xinya would do something like speeding.
Wen Xinya didn’t reply to his question for the time being, as she was approaching a bend. She spun the steering wheel wildly as she continued pressing on the accelerator. The tires of her car gave an ear-piercing screech…
“Xinya, Xinya, what’s the matter with you? Did something happen? Where are you now? Why are you not speaking? Quickly answer me.” Si Yiyan had jumped up from the sofa in a panic when he heard that screech. A barrage of questions poured forth continuously from his mouth.
He was in such a frenzy that he had just s.n.a.t.c.hed up his car keys and was about to dash out without even bothering to wear his jacket.
About 30 seconds later, Wen Xinya’s laughter drifted into his ears. Si Yiyan heaved a sigh of relief. For someone who seldom perspired, he couldn’t help breaking out in cold sweat.
Wen Xinya couldn’t stop laughing. Her laughter was filled with excitement and joy. “You asked so many questions all in one breath, how do you expect me to answer!”
Her natural, coquettish tone was light and pleasing to the ear.
Si Yiyan couldn’t help smiling. He sat back down on the sofa and tossed his car keys onto the gla.s.s side table. “Then just answer them all one by one!”
His words were commanding and full of threat.
Wen Xinya involuntarily shrunk back and said somewhat sheepishly, “I accidentally ran a few red lights, so a police car has been chasing after me.”
As he continued to hear the fading sirens in the background, Si Yiyan couldn’t help rubbing his throbbing temples. He leaned back on the sofa, still looking very princely and distinguished. “How many red lights did you run? Can you explain why did you do that?”
His tone was full of both exasperation and doting.
Wen Xinya said self-righteously, “About four or five. What is there to explain…”
“Four or five?” Si Yiyan’s voice turned a pitch higher. How was it possible for a person driving normally to run four or five red lights? There was no way she had been driving normally then, she must have been speeding!
The veins on Si Yiyan’s temples throbbed wildly and his heart contracted involuntarily.
“Aiya, I don’t quite remember. Or maybe it was six to seven!” Wen Xinya couldn’t be sure. She blamed the fact that there were just too many traffic lights in Capital city.
She had been speeding but still had the cheek to blame it on there being too many traffic lights. Si Yiyan had overindulged and pampered her so much that she was now beyond control.
Four to five was already shocking enough, and now she was claiming six to seven? Si Siyan couldn’t hold back his angry admonishment. “You dare to speed under such bad road conditions? Do you have a death wish?”
That girl was too impudent!
Previously in Italy, he had ravished her a bit too savagely, and so had not touched her the past few days since returning home.
In the end, it was truly a case of neglect breeds mischief! Having left her alone the past few days, she was using her excess energy to go speeding, recklessly gambling with her own life.
He should squeeze her completely dry, only then would she behave.
Still unaware of her impending doom at that point, Wen Xinya heard the previously fading sirens catch up again. She started whining once more. “Aiya… they are catching up. This police car is so irritating. Why does it keep pestering me…”
Why did her annoyed tone still hold traces of excitement?
Si Yiyan gritted his teeth. “Since the police car is pursuing you, just stop your car. Hand everything else to me. I promise that the police won’t do anything to you. Be a good girl. Speeding is no joke. Capital city’s road conditions are not too good. Although traffic is not too heavy at this time, it is still very dangerous. If you wish to speed, I will bring you somewhere else another day…”
Si Yiyan tried his best to persuade Wen Xinya, hoping that she would slow down. It was truly a test of how rapidly his heart could jump.
The fast-approaching sirens had Wen Xinya both fretful and thrilled. “Aiya, I can’t talk anymore. That d.a.m.n police car is catching up again. Later…”
“Wen Xinya, Wen Xinya… ”
Si Yiyan’s words died off as he heard the beeping dial tone. He was utterly vexed.
But as vexed as he was, Si Yiyan wasn’t truly angered. He hurriedly dialed Gu Yuehan’s number. “Call the traffic department…”
