Meng Huaijin stared straight at her.
Jiang Wanning felt that Meng Huaijin didn't see her; it was as if he was looking at her, yet also as if he was seeing someone else through her.
Jiang Wanning shook her head: "I don't understand. We've never crossed paths before, so why are you looking for me? Besides, I don't think you love me. You don't understand love at all; you're a monster who can't love anyone!"
She didn't intend to provoke Meng Huaijin; she was simply stating a fact.
Meng Huaijin said he wouldn't hurt her, so she would give it a try.
Upon hearing this, Meng Huaijin suddenly stood up and reached out as if he wanted to slap Jiang Wanning.
Jiang Wanning met Meng Huaijin's gaze without surprise or fear.
Meng Huaijin stopped.
His hand changed to a caressing motion, as if he wanted to touch Jiang Wanning's face.
The moment Meng Huaijin touched Jiang Wanning's cheek, Jiang Wanning bit his hand.
Meng Huaijin winced in pain, while Jiang Wanning bit down hard, and the smell of blood spread.
Meng Huaijin was furious: "Jiang Wanning!"
Jiang Wanning released him, her tone slightly provocative: "Didn't you say you loved me the most? You can't even stand being bitten by me?"
Meng Huaijin wiped the blood off her hands with a tissue, looked at the clear teeth marks left on them, and smiled.
"Yes, I love you very much, so much so that I would die for you. Can Fu Chenyuan do that?"
Jiang Wanning frowned. This person is probably a madman!
"Fine, since you think you can die for me, then go die now."
Upon hearing this, Meng Huaijin reached out and tightly pinched Jiang Wanning's cheek, lifting her face up and staring at her fiercely: "Dream on! Even if I die, I'll drag you down with me!"
He stood up, glanced at his phone, and smiled: "So Fu Chenyuan isn't as stupid as I thought. He'll be coming soon. Before that, Wan Ning, think carefully about what you'll do then."
A strange panic welled up inside Jiang Wanning: "What exactly do you want to do?"
Seeing Jiang Wanning finally show her first sign of panic after waking up, Meng Huaijin laughed, a very arrogant laugh: "Of course, we'll see if Fu Chenyuan would die for you!"
"Meng Huaijin, are you crazy! What are you trying to do?"
Jiang Wanning got out of bed, wanting to run out.
As soon as I got out of bed, a thin iron chain started rattling.
Meng Huaijin sat there leisurely, even resting his chin on his hand, watching Jiang Wanning's somewhat exasperated expression.
She finally showed a lively expression in front of him, instead of being indifferent and aloof as before, showing no emotion towards him and remaining unmoved no matter how intense his gaze was.
Now, he has left an indelible mark on her heart.
"We don't have much time left. Have you thought it through? Choose me or Fu Chenyuan?"
"I don't want anyone but Fu Chenyuan!" Jiang Wanning said, enunciating each word clearly.
Meng Huaijin's face gradually darkened.
"Why? Is it because he helped your mother when she was dying? It's just money, right? I have plenty of money, more than I could ever spend in several lifetimes. How about I give it all to you?"
His voice was pleading.
Jiang Wanning didn't feel moved; instead, she felt a chill run down her spine.
Where did this lunatic come from?!
She was certain they had never met before.
Moreover, she wasn't the kind of femme fatale who could bring ruin to a country, nor did she possess the kind of beauty that could drive people crazy at first glance.
"Meng Huaijin, do you think I'm someone else?" Jiang Wanning asked tentatively.
Jiang Wanning believed that Fu Chenyuan was on his way.
So, she needed to extract useful information from Meng Huaijin, or at least stall for time before that.
As long as she stalls Meng Huaijin, Meng Huaijin shouldn't have time to issue orders.
Meng Huaijin's voice carried a hint of resentment: "Clearly, I met you first. I met you even before Fu Chenyuan. I searched for all the eligible girls with the surname Zhao, but none of them were you! Not you!"
Jiang Wanning was terrified.
If Meng Huaijin had met her a long time ago, then it makes sense, because back then her surname was indeed Zhao.
"I'm sorry, I don't remember. If you tell me, maybe I will remember."
As Jiang Wanning spoke, she lifted her foot, and the thin chain made a sound.
"Mr. Meng, could you help me untie this? I don't know martial arts, and I'm just a weak woman. I can't run away. Even if you untie it, I still can't escape. It hurts so much," she said.
Meng Huaijin had never seen Jiang Wanning smile like this before.
She spoke to him with a faint smile, just like when she called Fu Chenyuan at the restaurant. That smile on her face was the same as it was now, making people feel happy, but also making them jealous.
Now, that smile belongs to him too, because she is smiling at him like that.
Meng Huaijin was somewhat dazed: "You called me Huaijin."
"Um, Huaijin, can you help me untie the chain?"
The word "Huaijin" brought a smile to Meng Huaijin's face.
Jiang Wanning was inwardly disgusted, but on the surface she had to put on a happy yet pleading expression.
Meng Huaijin reached out and touched Jiang Wanning's hair, and Jiang Wanning wanted to chop his hand off.
Every pore on her body resisted Meng Huaijin's approach.
"No. Women are all good at lying, especially beautiful women like you. You lied to me when you were a child."
Jiang Wanning's face instantly darkened.
The smile vanished immediately.
She sat back down on the bed, a nonchalant expression on her face: "Oh, really? You've seen me as a child? Are you sure it was me back then?"
Meng Huaijin's face showed an expression of reminiscence and longing.
His encounter with Jiang Wanning was the only beautiful memory he had, a moment he would never forget in his life.
Later, he tried to recapture that feeling, but he couldn't.
"Your eyes are unforgettable. I didn't really see your face clearly back then, but I remember your eyes. I also remember that your surname is Zhao. Because they called you, Zhao something, I don't remember your given name, but I remember they called you Zhao..."
Meng Huaijin held out her hand: "You even bit me."
Jiang Wan Ning thought to herself, "Is Meng Huai Jin crazy?"
When he was some kind of martial arts hero, I bit him and I still remember it to this day!
"Oh, why would I bite you?"
"I stole your lollipop." Meng Huaijin said this with a very calm expression, not feeling ashamed at all.
The Meng family's business and headquarters were located in the neighboring city of Nancheng, namely Xicheng.
Later, Meng Huaijin expanded his business overseas.
Jiang Wanning remembered that she had indeed been to Xicheng, naturally with the Su family.
That time it was Children's Day, and the school gave them a half-day off. Lin Lin didn't come to pick her up, and she stood alone at the school gate. Su's mother couldn't bear to see her like that, so she picked her up and sent Lin Lin a message. The reply was: Okay, I understand.
That was the end of it.
Su's mother took her two children to Xicheng to celebrate Children's Day.
