Chapter 150 Reasoning

Fang Mingxu knew that Jiang Shu had a very bad impression of him, and he wanted to change Jiang Shu's opinion of him slowly and gradually.

But for some reason, officials and nobles in Beijing suddenly rushed to propose marriage recently, and the Jiang family's door was almost trampled.

Fang Mingxu panicked, he was afraid that if he didn't come to propose marriage, Jiang Shu would become someone else's wife, and he would never have another chance.

Pursing his lips, Fang Mingxu said bluntly: "I know that many families have come to propose marriage these days, but they all want to marry for profit, and I am sincere and don't want anything."

"Sincerity without words?" Jiang Shu raised his eyebrows and sneered.

Fang Mingxu choked and took out several salt contracts from his bosom: "I am willing to use the Fang family's ten salt shops as a betrothal."

The salt industry is different from other industries. It needs the permission of the court to operate. It is a monopoly-style business with extremely high profits.

The profit of ten salt shops is equivalent to 30% of the revenue of Jiang's business.

Fang Mingxu's move is indeed a huge investment.

But Jiang Shu just glanced at the salt contract in his hand and said nonchalantly: "I am not interested in the Fang family's salt shop."

The Jiang family's industry is huge. As long as it is managed properly, it is enough to be squandered for generations. Why do they need to get involved in the salt industry?

She is not as greedy as Fang Mingxu.

Besides, husband and wife are one. If she really married Fang Mingxu, with Fang Mingxu's profit-seeking character, he would certainly let her help him expand into other industries.

In this way, Fang Mingxu would not lose out.

He is indeed a shrewd businessman who knows how to calculate.

Looking at Jiang Shu's cold and slightly sarcastic face, Fang Mingxu's heart choked, and he realized that Jiang Shu was very concerned about his previous behavior.

His throat rolled, and he said with difficulty: "I was wrong before, I didn't know I would meet you. If I had known this, I would never have done anything to Jiang Ji."

Jiang Shu frowned when he heard this: "Do you regret doing something to Jiang Ji? Or do you regret using shameless means?"

"Is there a difference?" Fang Mingxu was puzzled.

"Of course there is." Jiang Shu looked at him with bright eyes, and said solemnly: "If it is the former, you just regret it because of me, but you don't really recognize your mistakes. You will still use this method to treat other people in the future."

"Am I wrong?" Jiang Shu looked directly into Fang Mingxu's eyes, not allowing him to avoid lying. Fang Mingxu's

palms tightened, and he couldn't refute.

In his opinion, although his method of dealing with Jiang Ji was not glorious, it did not violate the law, so it was understandable.

Silence is the best answer.

Jiang Shu smiled sarcastically and said: "Just based on this point, our concepts are very different, and we are not the same kind of people."

Whether it is business or life, you can use means. But it should be open and aboveboard, not dirty and shameless, and certainly not cross the moral bottom line.

"I can change." Fang Mingxu gritted his teeth and compromised.

Jiang Shu asked again: "What about the children of your concubines at home?"

"It is wrong to have a concubine before marrying a wife. It is disrespectful for the concubine to have children before the wife enters the house."

"In your eyes, women are just your accessories. You have never thought about respecting your wife."

Fang Mingxu was stunned.

As Jiang Shu said, he had never thought about these. Facing Jiang Shu's eyes that saw through everything, Fang Mingxu felt that there was no place to hide.

After a long silence, Fang Mingxu said in a hoarse voice with a slight choke: "If you don't like them, I can send them away."

Jiang Shu shook his head and said solemnly: "Boss Fang, people's past right and wrong cannot be erased by turning a blind eye."

"No matter when and why, people must pay for their actions and bear the consequences."

"The prodigal son should turn back, but that doesn't mean he should be forgiven."

Every word Jiang Shu said pierced Fang Mingxu's chest like a sharp arrow, leaving him speechless and with a sharp pain in his heart.

He looked at Jiang Shu, who was so close yet so far away, and asked in a deep voice: "So no matter what I do, I can't get your forgiveness?"

"Does it matter whether I forgive or not? You have always lived for yourself. Without me, there are other women." Jiang Shu's words were sharp.

Fang Mingxu felt that his chest was pierced by a sharp arrow again, and the pain made him breathless.

He knew that he would never get Jiang Shu.

In this case, he should keep a bit of dignity for himself and leave decently.

"Sorry for disturbing you." Fang Mingxu smiled warmly, bowed, and stood up to leave.

Looking at his tall, strong, yet lonely back, Jiang Shu frowned and said, "There are thousands of women in the world, and Boss Fang will meet a beauty who likes you."

Regardless of other things, Fang Mingxu came here today to sincerely propose marriage, and even if she refuses, she should give him some decency.

Fang Mingxu's body trembled when he heard this, and he said gently, "Thank you."

After that, Fang Mingxu left quickly without looking back.

Jiang Shu knew that he would not bother her again.

With a long sigh, Jiang Shu went to the yard of Jiang's father and mother.

Jiang's father had been bedridden for two or three months, and his buttocks were sore. He was lying on the bed, mumbling to Jiang's mother to massage him.

There were no servants in the room, and Jiang's mother was rubbing Jiang's father's buttocks while muttering worriedly.

"Boss Fang looks very determined. I wonder if Shu'er can get rid of him." Jiang's

father snorted, "He has the nerve to come. With all the things he has done, Shu'er will never marry him."

After years of doing business, Jiang's father had seen Fang Mingxu.

Although he looks handsome and elegant, gentle as the wind, he is actually a wolf in sheep's clothing.

If such a person were to be the one sleeping next to him, I'm afraid he would have trouble sleeping every night.

"Dad, Mom." Jiang Shu came into the room and called softly.

Jiang's father, who was lying on the bed, heard it and hurriedly asked Jiang's mother to stop, and turned over with a red face.

"Boss Fang left?" Jiang's mother asked.

Jiang Shu nodded: "Gone."

"How did you get rid of him?" Jiang's mother was surprised.

She said she had done it to Fang Mingxu but he refused to leave, so how could Jiang Shu solve it so quickly.

Looking at Jiang's mother's expectant and curious eyes, Jiang Shuying opened her lips and uttered two words: "Be reasonable."

Mother Jiang: "..."

"How did you say that?" Father Jiang was also curious and

had to ask for clarification. Jiang Shu had no choice but to tell him.

Father Jiang praised him greatly after hearing it: "What our Shu'er said is indeed reasonable."

Mother Jiang was also full of admiration and felt that her daughter was much more capable than her.

But thinking of Jiang Shu's life event, Mother Jiang was still worried: "Many families have come to propose marriage recently, and even Boss Fang came to ask for your hand in marriage because he was afraid that you would be snatched away. Why didn't King Jing make any move?"

"Yes, Shu'er, you said that you two love each other, and he promised to marry you as his principal wife. There has been such a big commotion these days, why didn't he react at all?" Father Jiang frowned.

It is true that Yu Zheng saved his life and owed the Jiang family a favor, but one thing is another. If he really has feelings for Jiang Shu, he should show some attitude.

Seeing that his parents have some complaints about Yu Zheng, Jiang Shu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "He's not in the capital."

"Where is he at such an important time!" Jiang's father shook his beard to express his dissatisfaction.

Jiang Shu sighed and said, "He led the troops to suppress the bandits."

When Jiang's father and mother heard this, the anger in their hearts disappeared silently.

As a prince, Yu Zheng shoulders the lives of thousands of people. He should focus on government affairs and have no right to comment.

After a pause, Jiang's mother asked, "When will he come back?"
