Chapter 123 I Don’t Want Money, I Want You

As for Jiang Wanning, seeing that her identity could no longer be concealed, she simply admitted it generously.

"Boss Pei may have misunderstood."

"Lawyer Shi and I do know each other. We were classmates at the same school."

She promptly pulled back her wrist, which Shi Wang had restrained. Rubbing it in the dark, she smiled distantly, brushing away the black hair that had fallen from her forehead due to the pulling. "Boss Pei probably doesn't know."

"Before coming to Singapore, I worked in the Shenzhen Stock Exchange for a while after graduation. I was grateful to Shi Lu for his help back then."

"It's just that I was in a hurry to go abroad and didn't have time to tell Shi Lu. He was a senior student of mine who I had a very good relationship with."

Yes, she had deceived others for some selfish reasons.

In order not to hurt the other person's fragile and sensitive self-esteem, they did not hesitate to lower their status and make up one lie after another, just to narrow the gap between the two people and make them closer.

In this inherently unequal love, she tried every "despicable" and even "dirty" means, but her true heart towards Shi Wang was always real.

On the other side, Shi Wang finally felt a sharp pain in his heart when he heard Jiang Wanning's polite yet distant address.

It feels like déjà vu. Was this how Jiang Wanning felt when she heard herself and Xu Moli introduce her like this?

Shi Wang's face looked a little ugly. He obviously wanted to say something else, but because Pei Yufeng was present, he couldn't say it in the end.

Pei Yufeng's eyes were also sweeping back and forth between the two of them, with a playful and inquiring mood. It was unknown how much he believed Jiang Wanning's words.

After a while, he seemed to suddenly understand and continued Jiang Wanning's words: "So that's how it is!"

"That's truly fate. Since President Jiang and Shi Lu are old acquaintances, I think our future cooperation will definitely be a very pleasant discussion!"

Jiang Wanning was stopped on her way to lunch.

She roughly guessed that Pei Yufeng's sudden visit today was most likely because Meng Zhenyue was suddenly replaced.

But she was really hungry, and the way this person looked at her was not friendly at all.

There was even a kind of inexplicable weirdness that made her feel very uncomfortable, so she instinctively rejected having too much communication with the other party, not to mention that there was a Shi Wang following him today.

Jiang Wanning didn't even need to think about it to foresee how terrifying it would be to be in the same room with the two of them.

Just when she was about to find an excuse to postpone it, or at least talk to the two people separately, Qi Huaian's voice suddenly sounded behind Jiang Wanning, pulling her out of the "abyss" like a savior.

"Huh? Isn't this President Pei?"

Qi Huaian was still wearing the glasses he used in the office and holding his thermos cup in his hand. He was obviously on his way out to get some water when he noticed the movement here and came over to check.

I don't know when he came over, or how much of the previous conversation he overheard, but he still smiled gently and politely: "Mr. Pei, are you here for that planning proposal I discussed with you earlier?"

He glanced at Jiang Wanning and took over the topic tactfully and worldly-wisely: "What a coincidence! I happen to be free today, and you even brought a lawyer with you. Why don't we just finalize the plan today?"

After he finished speaking, he seemed to have just noticed Jiang Wanning and said in surprise, "Mr. Jiang, didn't I just hear Ai Li say you were going to dinner? Why are you still here?"

Qi Huaian's words were just right. If Jiang Wanning hadn't just made eye contact with him, she would probably have thought he was expressing his true feelings.

So he quickly followed up on the other person's words and said, "Hey, it just so happened that I ran into Mr. Pei and an old classmate of mine, so we chatted for a while."

Jiang Wanning continued to be polite: "I didn't expect time to pass so quickly. It's only been so long, and it's already this late."

"I'm a little hungry, too. Why don't you talk to Manager Qi first, Mr. Pei? He's more familiar with this project than I am. I'll go downstairs to eat first and then come back to discuss it with you in detail."

After saying that, she was about to run away. Seeing Pei Yufeng was about to say something else, Qi Huaian quickly stopped him: "Go quickly, Mr. Jiang."

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Pei, there's also this... Lawyer Shi, right? My office is over here, please follow me."

His well-timed words interrupted Pei Yufeng's next action.

Seeing that the man seemed unhappy, but had no choice but to follow Qi Huaian towards the office, Jiang Wanning blinked at the latter again.

And also successfully obtained a soothing smile from the other party.

Jiang Wanning sighed in her heart that the best thing her elder brother, who had always been "unkind", had done in his life was to leave Qi Huaian to her in this company.

Without Qi Huaian, she could hardly survive!

Qi Huaian is simply her "reborn parent"!

…

After Qi Huaian helped Jiang Wanning stop the two men, she finally got what she wanted and had a long-awaited full meal at around two o'clock in the afternoon.

After finally eating and drinking her fill, Jiang Wanning returned to her office, ready to take out and review the post-production plan for the film Xia Shuying that He Xue had given her during the day.

However, she didn't expect that just as she opened the document, someone knocked on the office door from outside.

"Come in."

Jiang Wanning thought it was He Xue who came to deliver something, so she responded subconsciously. Unexpectedly, the person who pushed the door open the next second was Pei Yufeng.

"Mr. Jiang."

The man saw Jiang Wanning's obvious disappointment, but he was not annoyed. He leaned leisurely on the door panel opposite the latter.

"Aren't you going to give me an explanation about Meng Zhenyue?"

Seeing that the topic couldn't be avoided, Jiang Wanning sighed softly, "I'm sorry I didn't discuss this with President Pei. It's really because Miss Meng's business capabilities are so worrying that I took the initiative."

"Whatever compensation Mr. Pei demands for breach of contract, Chuangtu will pay it to you."

“What if I don’t want the money?”

"Then what do you want?" Jiang Wanning wondered, "As long as I can do it..."

"you."

Before Jiang Wanning could finish her words, she was interrupted by Pei Yufeng's ambiguous smile.

"What if I want you, Mr. Jiang?"
