Chapter 197 Chapter 197 Jiang Yu's Ruthlessness

Jiang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of danger suddenly emerged from his eyes, but he regained his composure after a moment, as if nothing had happened, as calm as a pool of stagnant water.

"I'll go!" he said coldly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yu opened the car door and walked out, looking down at Li Mingzhu who had fallen to the ground in a miserable state.

Because of the dim light from the street lamps, although Li Mingzhu tried hard to raise her head, she only saw Jiang Yucai walking out of the car. She did not see the coldness on his handsome face, nor the endless sarcasm in his dark phoenix eyes.

The moment Li Mingzhu saw Jiang Yu push open the car door and walk out, she thought that this man still felt guilty towards her, and she couldn't help feeling a little happy and proud.

If she hadn't been alert that year, Jiang Yu would have been kidnapped by human traffickers. So, he owed her a life, and no matter what he did, he could never repay her for saving his life.

After all, he is the prince of the Jiang family. No one’s life is more precious than his!

"Ayu..."

Li Mingzhu called out sadly to the man who was right next to her, her eyes filled with hope, but hope was also mixed with helplessness and pity.

She tried hard to stand up, but ended up falling back in a mess.

Li Mingzhu thought for a moment and wanted to reach out to touch his trouser legs.

But the man in front of her seemed to see through her thoughts. He took a step back expressionlessly, avoiding her like the plague, without concealing the disgust and disdain in his eyes at all.

Li Mingzhu's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and a strong sense of uneasiness spread in her heart. That uneasiness made her instantly regret showing up here tonight.

In fact, she just wanted to make one last effort. If Jiang Yu rejected her, she would change direction. Since she couldn't be his woman, she might as well be his father's woman.

"Do you hate me so much?" Li Mingzhu asked in a helpless and pitiful manner.

Jiang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze as cold as if covered with a layer of frost. He said, "Since you already know, why bother asking? Li Mingzhu, I've already said before that I don't owe you anything now."

Li Mingzhu suddenly laughed.

She knew she shouldn't have come.

This man has been very cold since he was a child. How could she expect him to like her?

Li Mingzhu gritted her teeth and struggled to stand up.

She raised her chin and looked at the man in front of her with a hint of sarcasm. Her tone was not dissatisfied at all, but rather calm. "So, Jiang Yu, are you planning to draw a line between you and me?"

Jiang Yu looked at her coldly and remained silent.

Li Mingzhu calmed herself down, the smile on her lips growing wider. "I knew you liked her from the beginning, but Jiang Yu, do you really think Shen Qinghuan likes you?"

Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows, "What do you want to say?"

Li Mingzhu snorted lightly and looked at Jiang Yu with a meaningful look. "I don't want to say anything. I just want you to know that in the winter of your first year abroad, something unexpected happened. I saw Shen Qinghuan with him with my own eyes..."

Jiang Yu: "So what?"

Li Mingzhu: "Jiang Yu, do you really not care at all? Shen Qinghuan, she's been with someone else."

Jiang Yu: "Why should I care?"

Li Mingzhu: "You..."

Jiang Yu looked at her with a look of indifference, as if smiling. "Did I disappoint you?"

Li Mingzhu raised her eyebrows slightly, smiled without saying anything, but her eyes were full of provocation.

Jiang Yu ignored her and said, "If you still want to stay in South City, you'd better be quiet. You know my methods."

After a pause, he added with a half-smile, "Li Mingzhu, do you really think you can hide the truth of some things forever? It's best not to let me find any evidence, otherwise..."

The following words are self-explanatory. They are both threats and warnings.

Li Mingzhu's expression changed involuntarily, her fingers clenched tightly until her knuckles turned almost blue. She said, "I saved you, Jiang Yu. If it weren't for me, do you think you'd still be standing here?"

Jiang Yu curled his lips slightly, his smile cold, "So, why do you think I chose you?"

After saying that, he didn't even look at Li Mingzhu again. He turned around, opened the door and got back into the car.

"drive!"

He ordered He Xian coldly.

He Xian secretly glanced at the rearview mirror, didn't dare to say a word, and started the car quickly.

Looking at the black Rolls-Royce that slowly drove into the gate, Li Mingzhu's heart couldn't help but tighten. Her nails almost dug into the tender flesh of her palms, and the hatred in her eyes grew stronger.

"Jiang Yu, you forced me to do this!"

When Jiang Yu returned home, Aunt Zhang hurried forward to greet him.

She seemed to feel that something was missing, frowned slightly, and leaned her head to look behind him.

Jiang Yu sighed helplessly, a hint of fatigue in his voice: "Don't look at it, she didn't come back with me."

Mother Zhang said "Oh" softly, obviously unhappy.

After hesitating for a moment, she decided to say a few more words, "Master, please don't be angry if I say a few more words. I watched Huanhuan grow up. Whether it was in these years or in the past few years, she really cared about you, but you...you really shouldn't hurt her feelings."

"Actually, you should know Huanhuan's personality. She's easy to coax. As long as you apologize to her sincerely and say a few words to comfort her, no matter what you did before, she will forgive you."

Jiang Yu lowered her eyes and raised the corners of her mouth almost imperceptibly. This time, she was afraid she didn't want to forgive him anymore!

In order to divorce him as soon as possible, she was willing to leave the house with nothing.

Seeing Jiang Yu remained silent, Aunt Zhang assumed he was still mad at Shen Qinghuan, and she couldn't help but get even more worried. "Master, this girl needs to be coaxed. How about you give Huanhuan a bouquet of flowers? I've heard people say that there's no girl who doesn't like flowers. If one bouquet isn't enough, then a whole cart. If one cart isn't enough, then a cart every day. She'll be touched, right?"

What Jiang Yu didn't know was that this was a guide that Zhang Ma had found on the Internet these past two days. If a girl is angry, how should a boy coax her to make her calm down as soon as possible?

Hearing what Aunt Zhang said, Jiang Yu was stunned at first, then smiled helplessly, "Aunt Zhang, I understand. It's very late now. You are old, you should go to bed quickly!"

Aunt Zhang choked violently.

How could she be old? She was only fifty-five, still very young!

Before Aunt Zhang could say anything, Jiang Yu said, "I'm a little tired. I'll go back to my room and rest first."

Mother Zhang opened her mouth but was too embarrassed to say anything else. She just sighed heavily.

For Shen Qinghuan, the days of waiting for divorce were like hell.

In order not to think about those unhappy things, she started to go to work with Li Meng every day. Fortunately, the professional knowledge she learned in college in the past few years was not completely wasted.

After studying with Li Meng for a few days, Li Meng decided to let her receive clients on her own.

"Huanbao, Mr. Su really likes your design. He's agreed that you'll be in charge of all follow-up matters. Here's Mr. Su's contact information. Please arrange a meeting with him later. He said there's one minor change to the design that needs to be made."

As soon as Li Meng returned to the studio, she pulled Shen Qinghuan aside and told her the good news with a smile.

Shen Qinghuan was naturally very happy that her design plan was adopted. After all, since graduating from university, she joined Jiang Group and had never done any work related to interior design.

"Are you telling the truth?"

She couldn't quite believe what she heard. When she was designing it, she hadn't held out any hope at all.

Who would have thought that Mr. Su actually adopted his plan!

Li Meng narrowed her eyes and smiled, eyes full of joy, "Of course it's true. I told you when we were in college that you were very talented in design. It's a pity that you joined the Jiang Group as soon as you graduated."

"But it's not too late now."

"Huanbao, I believe in you. You can do well."

In addition to being happy, Shen Qinghuan felt more fortunate as if she had been reborn. She didn't have to rely on Jiang Yu, she could just be herself, and she could still do very well.

"Since you trust me, I will definitely not let you down. I'll call and make an appointment with Mr. Su soon to finalize the plan as soon as possible. After that, I can collect the deposit and start construction."

"Do a good job! I'm rooting for you!"

Meeting Li Meng's determined gaze, Shen Qinghuan's heart was filled with motivation again at that moment. He immediately picked up his phone, added Su Nanli's social software, and confirmed the meeting time with him on the phone.

They met at a cafe.

When Shen Qinghuan arrived, Su Nanli had not arrived yet.

She ordered coffee and waited for less than two minutes before Su Nanli appeared. "Sorry for the wait, Miss Shen!"

Shen Qinghuan smiled faintly and said, "I just arrived too. What would you like to drink?"

Su Nanli ordered a glass of Nanshan and went straight to the point about the design plan. "Miss Shen, I am very satisfied with your design plan, but I want to make some slight changes to the kitchen."

As soon as he finished speaking, his cell phone rang.

"Sorry! I have to take a call."

Su Nanli said this and quickly picked up the phone.

He only glanced at the phone screen, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Ayu, you called me at this time, is there something wrong?"

ps: It’s a long chapter of nearly 3,000 words. I will make up for it next week by owing it these two days.
