Chapter 495 Jealous Again

You could hear a pin drop in the audience, and suddenly there was applause.

The applause seemed to be contagious, and almost everyone present subconsciously clapped along.

“Pah pah pah pah…”

It started with one applause and turned into a few applause, and then into a rain of applause.

What is a speech? What is true appeal?

Jiang Zhiyue gave a wonderful interpretation using the simplest language.

In the first row, the men's eyes met in the air, like the collision of knife blades, neither of them gave in, and they confronted each other.

Their applause rang out at the same time, with Xiao Jingrun's applause being the most enthusiastic, as if to drown out the applause of everyone else. With a gentle smile on his face, he clapped his hands while staring at Jiang Zhiyue with his eyes hidden behind the lenses, never taking his eyes off her for a moment.

The corners of his lips curled up slightly, with a strong sense of appreciation, but he was a masked man, at least in Gu Zhaoye's heart. He would never know what Xiao Jingrun was thinking. Although his eyes were appreciative, any man could see that such eyes were far more than just appreciation.

Everyone became a background. The only figure in Xiao Jingrun's eyes was Jiang Zhiyue. Perhaps it could be said that only Jiang Zhiyue walked into his world, causing ripples in those warm and peaceful eyes.

Jiang Zhiyue's life photo is frozen again——

The chief specially invited photographer of the Presidential Office recorded the moment when the girl stood in front of the huge portrait. The girl had lowered her eyebrows and looked very young, but she revealed an incomparable determination and perseverance.

Through those lowered eyes, there is a maturity and stability that transcends age.

After going through untold hardships, she finally stood in this position.

The old man in the portrait seemed to be staring at her, as if they were having a silent conversation, and only she could understand the deep meaning of this conversation.

It's a wake-up call!

Qin Si raised the corner of his mouth, and a very subtle arc appeared. "It's a pity that my father was not able to be there in person, otherwise he would realize how narrow-minded his previous views were."

Mrs. Qin was silent for a moment. It was hard to imagine that such profound insights could come from the mouth of a girl who was only nineteen years old. They were very sharp and to the point.

What is rare and precious is her courage. Her remarks today will surely win the support of the common people. After all, truth or falsehood, good or bad, does not depend on a person's remarks, but on her actual actions.

The stance of the Sheng brothers and sisters showed that they would go against the ideas of several major families, and at this moment, their decision no longer seemed so important.

This "rebellion" of the Sheng family made everyone see the corruption and decay hidden behind the prosperous appearance when the building was about to collapse.

"Si'er, if I opposed your choice like your father did, how would you treat me?" Mrs. Qin asked. Her voice was as cold as Qin Si's. But if you listened carefully, the cold words were a little softer.

Qin Si's indifferent tone showed no tenderness towards her. His ruthless eyes fell on Madam Qin. Qin Si and Madam Qin stood side by side. The tall son was no longer the child who was locked in the small dark room after being punished, expecting his mother to appear and help him open the door...

"Are you qualified to object?"

The arrogance, indifference, disdain, and coldness that are unique to a child of destiny, all the characteristics that the Qin family hoped Qin Si would inherit, were proven in this sentence.

Qin Si's height forced Mrs. Qin to look up at him, but she could not see any extra expression on that familiar face. When his gaze turned to the high platform, a fleeting fluctuation appeared on that cold face.

Madam Qin shook her head and smiled bitterly, "I won't interfere with any of your choices. You have been free for a long time."

"She's a good girl, you have to treat her well, don't be like your father and me..." They are loyal to their marriage and dedicated to their careers, but after all, a marriage without love is just a cooperation.

Maybe there is... Many years ago, when Qin's father was younger than Qin Si, he did love a girl, but he loved himself more.

The same is true for Mrs. Qin.

"This girl is really good." On this side, Old Master Chu had been tortured by the internal affairs of the Chu family in recent days. His mental state was extremely bad, and there was even some rift between him and Chu Junyue.

Old Master Chu also fell into the same predicament that Old Master Sheng had encountered, and was left with only his eldest grandson to accompany him.

Chu Junyue's eyes were fixed on the girl on the stage. As the head of the family, how could Mr. Chu not understand his feelings? He couldn't bear it and said, "Such a good girl, marry her and make her my granddaughter-in-law."

"You have cleared the obstacles of the Chu family. Is there anything you can't do?"

Chu Junyue, "You once said that if I could cut off the love between men and women, my achievements would far surpass my father's."

Old Master Chu said, "Can you make up your mind to cut it off? Don't force yourself if you can't do it. As long as the child's marriage is not decided, everyone of you has a chance."

Chu Junyue fell into silence.

Old Master Chu asked him how he planned to deal with Chu Xiao, and his tone was clearly filled with sadness.

Although I have made up my mind, I still long for a clear answer.

Old Master Chu should feel fortunate that he has always firmly chosen Chu Junyue. His ruthlessness is beyond everyone's imagination and he is truly the demeanor of a family head.

Among this generation of young heirs, the most ruthless are Chu Junyue and Qin Si. One of them is cold-hearted by nature, and the other is cruel by nature.

A man who could cut his own uncle into pieces, watch the process indifferently, and then continue working as if nothing had happened.

A tragedy that nearly led to patricide, after which the man was thrown into a nursing home, where he was bedridden and unable to move for the rest of his life.

The Chu family was blessed to have a successor, but Old Master Chu paid the price with the lives of his two biological sons. He shook his head and laughed at himself, "What right do I have to laugh at Old Man Sheng? I have the same fate as him..."

Chu Junyue was silent, staring at Jiang Zhiyue for a long time, until the girl's eyes suddenly met his, and then he felt a sharp gaze shooting towards them.

Qin Si had a cold face.

This expression naturally caused Mu Liansheng to tease him, "Are you trying to catch an adulterer at Old Man Sheng's funeral? That's a bit too much. Even if you don't want to give face to the monk, you should give face to the Buddha. Give Old Man Sheng some face."

Mu Liansheng also wanted to look, and stared at Jiang Zhiyue. After scanning the girl from top to bottom, the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more charming.

"She would rather look at Junyue than at me. She's really jealous..."

Although Mu Liansheng could not agree with her ideas, he would definitely support Jiang Zhiyue if she threw herself into his arms.
