Jiang Zhen's fingers gently stroked Han Wangwang's delicate arm. His neatly trimmed nails were short but sharp, as if he could cut Han Wangwang's neck with just a little force.
"Han Xi, maybe one day, when you wake up, you will find that I have been lying to you all along."
Han Wangwang trembled under his fingertips, not sure whether he was afraid or angry.
Jiang Zhen's expression was cold and solemn. His eyes dimmed slightly as he hinted, "Have you forgotten how I used you when you were fifteen? I knew that carrying that thing could bring you fatal disaster, but I still did it."
"Han Xi, you know very well how cruel and ruthless I am."
Han Wangwang suddenly slapped Jiang Zhen.
Snap——
That slap made Jiang Zhen’s brain explode.
Jiang Zhen was stunned for a moment before slowly turning his head and staring deeply at Han Wangwang.
Han Wangwang said, "Jiang Zhen, don't treat yourself like this. I don't hate you for being ruthless, nor do I hate you for being scheming, and I certainly don't hate you for taking advantage of me. But I hate you for giving up on yourself."
Jiang Zhen was slightly stunned.
Han Wangwang stood on tiptoe and grabbed Jiang Zhen's collar. She looked up at him seriously and intensely, saying, "Jiang Zhen, anyone in this world can slander us, but we can't slander ourselves! When you don't even recognize yourself, you're dead."
"I won't let you give up on yourself."
Jiang Zhen's Adam's apple moved. He suddenly pulled Han Wangwang into his arms, pressing her back firmly. He rested his chin on the top of her head and sighed, murmuring helplessly, "I just feel like I'm not worthy of you, someone so filthy as this. Wangwang, you deserve better."
Everyone can see that Jiang Zhen is not worthy of Han Wangwang.
Han Wangwang's family background can't be simply summarized by the word "innocent". Her great-grandfather, grandfather, and even father and cousin are all generals who shed blood for the country. She herself is also a math genius, smart, excellent and beautiful.
A girl like her deserves a better match.
Han Wangwang silently hugged Jiang Zhen and said, "How do you know that you are not the one who deserves me the most? Jiang Zhen, as long as you don't go the wrong way, you are the one who deserves my love."
As long as you abide by the law and don't do anything that is against the will of heaven, you are the best.
Han Wangwang's slap woke Jiang Zhen up.
He couldn't wait to get everything sorted, then go to Sunchen to meet Han Yueyun and his wife with all his sincerity. Even if the whole world thought he wasn't worthy of Han Wangwang, that didn't matter. He only needed to convince Han Wangwang's parents, and that would earn the world's approval.
The chicken soup took a long time to cook.
Jiang Zhen was snuggling on the sofa with Han Wangwang, watching a movie and drinking chicken soup, when his cell phone suddenly rang.
Jiang Zhen picked up his phone and saw that the caller was Han Zhan. He put down the bowl of chicken soup and said to Han Wangwang, "Your cousin called me."
"Why did he call you?" Han Wangwang's heart skipped a beat. "Could he be trying to persuade you to break up with me, too?"
Jiang Zhen hadn't thought about it that way originally, but after Han Wangwang reminded him, he couldn't help but think about it. He answered the phone nervously, ready for Han Zhan to persuade him to break up.
The call is connected.
Han Zhan's low, violin-like voice rang out slowly, saying, "Mr. Jiang, are you busy? If it's nothing urgent, please come to Yulong Mountain. My wife has recalled what happened on the cruise ship that night and wants to tell you about it."
Hearing this, the uneasiness in Jiang Zhen's eyes suddenly turned into grief. "What did Madam Han remember?"
"It's not convenient to explain in detail over the phone. Let's talk in person."
"good!"
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Zhen pushed the bowl of chicken soup in front of Han Wangwang and said, "You wash the dishes. I'm going to Yulong Mountain."
Han Wangwang stood up, put on his slippers, and started clearing the dishes, saying, "Wait for me."
"Okay."
Han Wangwang washed the dishes and rushed to Yulong Mountain with Jiang Zhen.
When we arrived at Yulong Mountain, it was almost ten o'clock.
Han Wangwang and Jiang Zhen walked into the villa under the guidance of Butler Cai. The three of them walked on the wide asphalt road and saw a woman with a slender back standing under a cafe umbrella on the lawn beside the swimming pool.
The woman was wearing a dark blue silk dress and her hair was just past her shoulders. From the back, she looked neither Song Ci nor Dong Yang (Yan Qingxiu), the housekeeper of the children in the family.
Han Wangwang asked Butler Cai, "Who's that by the coffee table?"
Butler Cai replied, "He is a distinguished guest from Junyang City, his name is Ji Qing, and he is a master of hypnosis."
Han Wangwang knew the Ji family of Junyang City, a renowned medical family whose status was even higher than that of the Long family of Wangdong City. The Long family specialized in Traditional Chinese Medicine, while the Ji family specialized in Western Medicine. Their members were all number one in various medical fields in China.
Seeing that Jiang Zhen didn't know much about the Ji family, Han Wangwang briefly introduced the Ji family to Jiang Zhen. Jiang Zhen was impressed but also confused when he learned that Ji Qing was so powerful.
Mr. Han, what are they planning to do by inviting this hypnotist here?
After pondering for a moment, the three of them walked to the coffee table.
Song Ci was chatting with Ji Qing when she saw Jiang Zhen coming. She introduced them to each other. "Come, Wangwang, let's meet Mr. Jiang."
The two young men stood beside Han Zhan and Song Ci, and heard Song Ci say, "Doctor Ji, this is Han Xi, my master's cousin. The one next to her is Mr. Jiang."
Han Wangwang and Jiang Zhen both greeted Ji Qing. Before they could ask why he was here, they heard Ji Qing say, "I've heard the design of Yulong Villa is exquisite. I have to go take a look around so I can show off to my Mr. Qiao when I get back. Mr. Jiang, you two can chat."
"Well, Butler Cai, you accompany Doctor Ji around."
"good."
Butler Cai took Ji Qing to visit the mountain manor.
Song Ci asked Han Wangwang, "Were you two together when your cousin called?"
Jiang Zhen replied, "I finished my meal at her place."
Hearing this, Han Zhan frowned and asked, "Just having dinner?" He looked at the two young people with suspicion and said bluntly, "How can you live together without getting married? What's the point?"
Song Ci rarely agreed with Han Zhan's opinion, "We need to avoid suspicion. Unmarried men and women should pay attention to their image."
Han Wangwang and Jiang Zhen listened to the lecture obediently and didn't dare to refute. Han Wangwang looked honest, but in his heart he kept muttering: My uncle and aunt are so strict. I wonder how strict they will be when Han Miao and Han Jun are in love.
