Long Night

When she was young, he said, "When we grow up, I'll marry you, then no one will dare to bully you anymore."

Later, he did marry her, but it wasn't because of that promise; it ...

Chapter 155 Chapter 155 Confrontation with Li Mingzhu

She racked her brains but couldn't figure out why the old man treated her so well! It was hundreds of millions of assets, and he gave it to her just like that. Even her sister-in-law didn't receive such treatment.

Jiang Yu smiled helplessly, reached out and touched her forehead and said, "That's because Grandpa likes you."

"But……"

Shen Qinghuan wanted to say, what kind of love could be worth hundreds of millions?

Just like everyone said, she was just an orphan living in the Jiang family, without any background. However, not only did she marry the prince of the Jiang family, she was also loved by the old man. Now that the old man has passed away, he has left her an inheritance of over 100 million. How did she get all this so easily?

Jiang Yu said gently, "There's nothing to worry about! Just keep what Grandpa left for you and don't worry about what others say."

He recalled that more than three months ago, his grandfather had called him into the study to talk. Without any warning, he mentioned what happened that year...

"Ayu, Huanhuan came to our house when she was ten years old. Grandpa knows exactly what kind of person she is. She didn't do what happened back then. Grandpa can guarantee that even if she likes someone, she won't resort to such despicable means."

"She was also a victim of what happened back then, so I had to let her marry you. But as I watch, I always feel that my decision back then was wrong. A child as good as Huanhuan deserves a good home, at least one that's much better than marrying you."

"Grandpa knows you're not convinced, but Ayu, if you miss Huanhuan, you'll definitely regret it later."

"Ayu, treat Huanhuan better in the future. She deserves it. If, and I mean if, one day when Grandpa is gone, you insist on divorcing her, you can't treat her as an outsider."

He remembered clearly every word his grandfather said to him that night and has never forgotten it.

Grandpa also said that even if they were not husband and wife, they were still siblings, and he shouldn't have made things difficult for Huanhuan in the past few years.

Shen Qinghuan was slightly stunned when he heard this, and his eyes fell on that handsome and elegant face.

Jiang Yu is very handsome. When she first saw him as a child, she thought he was prettier than the neighbor's sister. Later, she didn't know when it started, but she gradually paid more attention to him.

But she knew clearly that she and him would have no future. Even if they met now, they would only be like two intersecting lines in a plane. After meeting, they would each return to their own trajectory.

Seeing that Shen Qinghuan remained silent, Jiang Yu raised his hand and gently touched the top of her head, then jokingly said calmly, "Why are you looking at me? Are you already obsessed with my beauty?"

"Jiang Yu! Stop talking nonsense!"

Shen Qinghuan came back to her senses and scolded him angrily. The tips of her ears felt inexplicably hot, and her fair cheeks turned a peach pink.

Jiang Yu lowered his eyes, curled the corners of his mouth slightly, smiled nonchalantly, and his gaze fell on the tip of her ear.

"Red."

Shen Qinghuan subconsciously reached out to touch his ears. They were very hot, as if they had been burned by flames.

She felt a sudden panic in her heart and said hurriedly with her neck stiff, "Jiang Yu, if you don't have anything else to do, I'll go back and rest first."

"Wait a moment, I'll go back with you." Jiang Yu said, looking at his watch, "An hour at most. If you're very sleepy, you can go to the lounge and lie down for a while."

“…”

Did he not understand what he said? Or...he already understood, but he pretended not to understand.

Shen Qinghuan closed her eyes tightly. Based on her understanding of Jiang Yu, it was most likely the latter. But even though she knew he did it on purpose, she couldn't say anything and could only wait for her obediently.

When someone does you a favor, you should repay them with gratitude.

Jiang Yu had been a big help with Li Meng's situation last time. He said that he was the only one between them who could file for divorce...

Later, when she returned home, she thought about it carefully for a long time and realized that the benefits of this matter outweighed the disadvantages for her.

"You'd better sit here and wait for me! If you feel sleepy, just lean back and take a nap. I'll have a short video conference." As if knowing that Shen Qinghuan was having trouble making a decision, Jiang Yu simply made the decision for her.

Shen Qinghuan subconsciously wanted to refuse, but before she could open her mouth, there were several regular knocks on the door outside.

At the same time, a familiar voice sounded: "Boss Jiang, it's me!"

Li Mingzhu?!

Shen Qinghuan frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes, and she looked at Jiang Yu suspiciously. Was she so eager to see him? Didn't Li Mingzhu know that she was also in there?

Jiang Yu ignored her gaze and raised his voice to reply, "Come in!"

Shen Qinghuan choked hard, then suddenly half-closed her eyes and smiled, looking like a cunning little fox.

She lowered her eyes slightly, deliberately hugged Jiang Yu's arm tightly, and placed her little head on her shoulder affectionately, muttering silently in her heart: Jiang Yu, you forced me to do this!

Feeling the initiative and enthusiasm of the woman beside him, Jiang Yu couldn't help but stiffen his body, and the smile in his eyes spread out like ripples.

He deliberately coughed twice and raised his eyebrows to hide his unconcealable joy.

When Li Mingzhu walked in, she saw this scene. Shen Qinghuan was holding Jiang Yu's arm and refused to let go. It seemed like she had said something, and Jiang Yu still had a smile on his face...

Her expression changed instantly, and the hatred surging deep in her eyes was like a huge wave.

But soon, that hint of hatred was completely suppressed by her, revealing a perfect smile, "Boss Jiang, our department has a document that needs your personal signature."

Finally, Li Mingzhu seemed to have just discovered Shen Qinghuan's presence, and her voice was full of surprise: "Huanhuan is here too! I thought you had gone back to rest after everything was over."

"I wanted to go back and rest, but Ayu couldn't bear to let me go and insisted that I stay with him!"

Who can’t speak such tea talk?

Shen Qinghuan raised his eyes and looked at Li Mingzhu, not hiding his ridicule and mockery towards her at all.

Finally, she added with a smile, "Ms. Li, Ah Yu woke up later. Why didn't you call me again? But don't worry, I already told him that you called."

"If you don't believe me, you can ask Ah Yu in person to see if I'm lying."

Li Mingzhu was stunned, and her fingers holding the document tightened unconsciously.

She never thought that Shen Qinghuan would be so frank! She actually dared to speak out so openly about stealing Jiang Yu's phone. Wasn't she afraid that Jiang Yu would be angry?

The fact is, Shen Qinghuan is not afraid!

If she was afraid, she wouldn't choose to speak out in this situation.
