Chapter 30
The car drove smoothly into the villa's yard and stopped in the garage.
Jiang Zhuoyan got out of the car first and opened the door for Shen Fengni.
The skirt embellished with diamonds cascaded down from the door like a river of stars, followed by slender ankles in high heels.
"Thanks."
This was already the nth time that Shen Fengni had thanked her today. Hearing this, she couldn't describe the feeling.
What do these little things matter?
As long as Chen Fengni is fine, she dares to do anything and is willing to do anything.
Jiang Zhuoyan lowered her eyelashes and reached out to help the person who was having difficulty moving because of wearing a wedding dress.
As expected, Shen Fengni couldn't stand steadily, and her fingers subconsciously clasped her wrist, seeking a point of balance for her body.
The sudden contact of skin felt warm and soft, causing her long eyelashes to tremble slightly.
Jiang Zhuoyan tried hard to ignore her own awkwardness, stood up straight, let Shen Fengni support her, and led people towards the villa.
She hadn't slept all night, and with the scorching sun, her head felt a little dizzy.
But thinking about what she was going to do next, she forced herself to stay alert and not let herself fall asleep.
Early this morning, Jiang Zhuoyan received evidence of Yu Qian's infidelity.
The people she arranged were very competent. They took hundreds of high-definition photos, which directly confirmed the facts, leaving no room for rebuttal or maneuver.
After getting the evidence, Jiang Zhuoyan felt a little more at ease.
She carefully looked through the photos one by one, then took a shower, dressed herself up nicely, and went to attend Shen Fengni's wedding.
In other words, to grab a bride.
Jiang Zhuoyan originally planned to take Shen Fengni away directly and forcefully after the wedding was over and the guests left.
With the status of the Jiang family in Qinglan City, as long as she was a little tougher when sending out the invitation, no one would stop Shen Fengni from going, even on the wedding day.
Then she would take Shen Fengni home, show her those unbearable photos, and urge her to cancel the engagement as soon as possible and not to be soft-hearted. She believed that Shen Fengni was a smart person and would make the right choice and would not let her down.
But the development of events today was even smoother than Jiang Zhuoyan had planned, and it was beyond her expectations.
Jiang Zhuoyan glanced at the person beside him who was walking seriously with his head down, and a myriad of emotions surged in his heart.
After being reborn, she thought she could predict the future and control the overall situation, but things did not seem that simple.
Not everything develops the same way as in the previous life.
Countless questions filled her mind. She felt as if she was in a snowy field. The sky and the earth were all white. She could not see anything clearly and did not know where the right path was.
When did Shen Fengni find out about Yu Qian's infidelity? Was it because she received provocative text messages from someone else? What was her plan next?
And...what is her attitude towards Yu Qian now?
Although he brought the person back successfully, Jiang Zhuoyan's mind was still in a mess.
She led Shen Fengni in, arranged for everyone to sit down in the living room, and took out fruits and drinks from the refrigerator to entertain the guests.
The villa wasn't large, but it was comfortable. The decor was contemporary, minimalist, and elegant. Sunlight illuminated the spacious rooms, which were spotlessly clean. The greenery by the window spread its leaves, swaying gently in the cool air from the air conditioner.
Chen Fengni looked at the busy and graceful figure and found it difficult to accept the current situation for a moment.
She had heard that Jiang Zhuoyan was aloof and liked quietness, so she didn't hire a housekeeper or a live-in nanny. She just arranged for someone to clean and tidy up 23 times a week at a fixed time. But the current situation is a bit too outrageous, right?
It would have been fine if the arrogant Mr. Jiang had stepped forward to help her out, but now he's taking her home and even cutting fruit for her?
Judging from Jiang Zhuoyan's style, she probably wouldn't like other people staying at her house, right?
Shen Fengni was baffled and couldn't suppress the doubts in her heart.
So when Jiang Zhuoyan placed the fruit and drinks on the coffee table and sat down across from her, she forgot even to thank him and directly asked, "What is it that Mr. Jiang said he wanted to show me?"
Jiang Zhuoyan's thoughts were a bit confused, and she was worried about where to start. But when she heard Shen Fengni's direct question, she felt relieved. She immediately opened the drawer under the coffee table and handed over a thick brown paper envelope.
In order to make it easier for Shen Fengni to look through the photos, she printed out all the photos this morning.
There are three protagonists in the photo, including Yu Qian herself and two other young girls.
One was a Japanese beauty, with fair skin and a delicate appearance; the other had a nightclub vibe, with long hair dyed with a few strands of blue and shiny metal earrings. Their common point was that they both had fantastic figures, with curvaceous curves, exactly the style Yu Qian liked.
The content of the photos is also very exciting, some are kissing in the car, some are hugging in the nightclub, and some are entering and leaving the hotel together...
Maybe it was because she wanted to have some fun before getting married, or maybe it was because the location she chose was relatively remote, but Yu Qian had been acting particularly unscrupulous these past two days, and it seemed like she had no intention of avoiding other people's gazes at all.
After Jiang Zhuoyan handed the photo to Shen Fengni, he used the excuse of having a work call to go to the window at the other end of the living room.
The shock of the photo was too great, and she wanted to give Shen Fengni some time to process it alone. She had heard that Mr. Yu and his fiancée had a very good relationship, which was the envy of others. Even if Shen Fengni had known about Yu Qian's infidelity in advance, she would still be very sad.
Yes, if she didn’t like her so much, how could Shen Fengni trust Yu Qian wholeheartedly and be deceived into such an embarrassing state.
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhuoyan felt annoyed and wanted to light a cigarette, but when he thought of Chen Fengni who was in the same room with him, he forced himself to hold back.
She scrolled through her phone and started processing work messages to distract herself.
After replying to a few messages and confirming a few work arrangements, a message from my assistant popped up.
Xiao Yang: Mr. Xiao Jiang, do you think the draft of the “Meeting with Old Friends” plan I sent you yesterday is okay?
Xiao Yang: If there are no problems, we will improve it and launch it next month.
Jianghu Nuo launches some special events every month to give players a sense of freshness. Yesterday, Jiang Zhuoyan's mind was full of Shen Fengni's wedding, and he put this matter behind him and didn't even watch it.
Xiao Yang reminded her and she finally remembered.
There was still time, so Jiang Zhuoyan calmly opened the document.
"They say clothes are better when new, and people are better when old. In your life, is there an old friend you can't forget?"
"It brings you the most unforgettable happiness and the deepest feelings."
"Are you losing sleep over losing him/her? Are you considering starting over with him/her?"
…
Lines of text came into view, stinging her eyes.
Jiang Zhuoyan closed the file expressionlessly and replied, "Change the subject."
Xiao Yang on the other end of the phone: ???
During their last meeting, Jiang Zhuoyan had suggested leveraging the game's social interaction to win back lapsed players. That's when they came up with this theme: to get existing players to connect with those who'd quit, and to create a corresponding reward mechanism. It had been such a perfect plan, why was it suddenly changing?
Xiao Yang was puzzled, but he felt that his boss seemed to be in a bad mood, so he didn't dare to ask more questions and just replied that he received it.
Although she was mentally prepared, when Shen Fengni actually saw these photos, she was still shocked by Yu Qian's time management ability.
Jiang Zhuoyan said that the photos were taken in the past two days. It was not an easy task for Yu Qian to complete so many schedules and occasionally deal with her fiancée and both sides' families.
Shen Fengni flipped through the photos one by one, then leaned back and let out a long sigh.
With this evidence, her next move would be much easier. With the other party's leverage in hand, she would have negotiating leverage, and breaking off the engagement would be much easier.
As she was thinking, a flash of light appeared in front of her eyes, and it was Jiang Zhuoyan who sat down opposite her.
"Have you finished reading it?"
Shen Fengni nodded, "I'm sorry to bother you, Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Zhuoyan glanced at her twice, then looked away and looked at a certain spot on the coffee table.
As if she had no confidence, she whispered to herself, "Cut the loss in time, Miss Shen."
Shen Fengni noticed that Jiang Zhuoyan was in a bad mood, but she didn't know the reason.
She paused for two seconds and chose to respond to the other party's topic first, "I will."
Jiang Zhuoyan's hand on the sofa trembled slightly. She put her hand flat on her knees as if to cover it up and said in a calm tone, "What are you going to do?"
"Cancel the engagement and, if necessary, sever ties with your family."
Chen Fengni shrugged and said frankly, "Mr. Jiang, can you lend me a dress? The most ordinary and cheapest one will do. I want to go out soon and rent a house to stay in. I also need to go to the hotel to pick up my luggage. It's really inconvenient to wear a wedding dress."
After she finished speaking, she saw Jiang Zhuoyan open his eyes wide in an instant, as if he was very surprised.
Shen Fengni thought she had said something wrong, "What's wrong with you, Mr. Jiang?"
"Nothing." Jiang Zhuoyan felt his heartbeat quicken, and tried to keep his tone calm. "I just didn't expect Miss Shen to be so decisive."
Shen Fengni laughed.
It seems that in the eyes of people around her, she is still that naive girl who puts love first.
But this is not anyone else's fault, it's just her own fault.
She smiled and said, "Mr. Jiang, I was indeed in love before and my mind was not clear. But I have realized my mistake and will not do it again. Besides, someone like Yu Qian is not worth my nostalgia at all."
Jiang Zhuoyan paused for a moment and suddenly asked, "What did you do wrong?"
Shen Fengni was slightly stunned. "I... I shouldn't trust others so easily, I shouldn't..."
"When you meet someone you like, you trust her wholeheartedly, are willing to give everything for her, and want to make her happy."
Jiang Zhuoyan interrupted her, her eyes deep, "You took this relationship seriously and did everything you could, but the other party didn't know how to cherish it. Miss Shen, don't blame yourself. You are not wrong. The one who hurt you is wrong."
In countless late nights, Shen Fengni fell into a vicious circle of self-loathing. If she had been braver, smarter, and more decisive, she wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable state.
She was sad, regretful, and hated her own incompetence, going around in circles and unable to get out.
But the person in front of her said to her, you are not wrong.
It was as if a tired traveler in the desert suddenly encountered an oasis. Shen Fengni, who thought he had become numb, now felt his eyes sore.
She suppressed the surging emotions in her heart, her voice choked with sobs, "Mr. Jiang..."
"Don't cry." Jiang Zhuoyan handed over a tissue and continued, "I have quite a few spare rooms here that can provide accommodation and a place for live broadcasts. If Miss Shen doesn't mind, you can stay here temporarily."
She paused and corrected herself, "I mean, you can stay as long as you want."
The sudden proposal made Shen Fengni's pupils tremble, and most of the emotions just now dissipated instantly.
She held the tissue in her hand, her tone hesitant, "Will this bother you too much?"
Jiang Zhuoyan said, "No."
Perhaps it was an illusion, but Shen Fengni seemed to see some expectation in the other person's eyes.
She nodded hesitantly, "Then I'll trouble Mr. Jiang first."
Jiang Zhuoyan raised the corner of his lips slightly, "It's not a bother."
She took Shen Fengni upstairs, chose a sunny bedroom, and found clean clothes and daily necessities.
Jiang Zhuoyan was in a good mood. While Chen Fengni was changing clothes, she took the opportunity to check her unread messages.
The latest one comes from the assistant.
Xiao Yang: Mr. Jiang, we have several alternative topics and will report them to you during the meeting tomorrow.
Xiao Yang: Or do you have any suitable topic recommendations?
Jiang Zhuoyan was silent for a moment, then replied, "I've thought about it again, and it's okay if I don't change it."
