Chapter 445: They are all twisted people
Zhai Jinpeng recounted in detail the whole story of Jiang Chao's "accidental encounter" with them on the roadside, but Xiang Nuan covered her ears.
"No, no, no, no, no," she refused repeatedly, but in fact she didn't say a word. "This is your secret, your private matter. I don't know anything and I don't want to know anything!"
"Mrs. Jiang," Zhai Jinpeng said earnestly, "We just want to know what Mr. Jiang is thinking and why he wants me to go to Baotu."
Xiang Nuan put down his hand and sighed, feeling very embarrassed.
"Why not just ask him?"
But she shook her head after she finished speaking. Ask directly? I'm afraid Jiang Chao won't answer directly. Oh, they are really awkward people, both of them!
"I don't know Mr. Jiang, let alone say I'm his friend," Xiang Nuan said with difficulty. "It's just that because of the planning of the auto show, I have a bad habit of getting to the bottom of things, so I asked a little deeper, and only then did I get a little understanding of his thoughts."
Xiang Nuan looked at the two people's reactions as she spoke. Jin Nuoyi's expression was particularly uncertain. She probably also thought that Xiang Nuan would check her background as well.
"Well, let me ask Mr. Jin a question." She cleared her throat, "If Mr. Jiang hadn't discovered this, would you regret the engagement when you go back?"
Jin Nuo stared at Xiang Nuan, as if he wanted to see his heart from her eyes. After a long while, she said in a deep voice, "Yes."
"Then how can I regret it?"
"What's the big deal? Cancel it. If you don't agree, forget it."
Xiang Nuan smiled faintly: "If it's so easy, I should have just refused it in the first place."
Jin Nuoyi was silent again. The engagement was just a facade, and the two of them were just pawns. The underlying issue was the tangled conflict of interests.
"When the two companies first cooperated, it was not a strong alliance between the original companies, but they insisted on setting up a new company. Wasn't that the foreshadowing of the split already laid at that time?"
Xiang Nuan tried to speak calmly. She really didn't want to reveal all the secrets that Jin Nuoyi had kept in his heart. She had long been accustomed to hiding things, hiding her feelings, hiding her sincerity, hiding her strength... Now that they were being exposed piece by piece, it was like having her clothes stripped off in public. This was not a pleasant experience.
"Boss Jin thinks so, and Boss Jiang thinks so too, so the cancellation of the engagement is not just your wishful thinking."
"Are you saying that Jiang Chao also had this intention?"
"I suppose he, like you, does not regret this marriage."
Xiang Nuan didn't say the second half of the sentence, Jin Nuoyi already understood. She suddenly understood why Jiang Chao was not anxious or annoyed when he saw her and Zhai Jinpeng together, and always smiled.
At that time, she thought he was having a perverted reaction due to anger, but she didn't expect that he was really happy from the bottom of his heart.
Jin Nuoyi couldn't help but laugh. When she smiled, Xiang Nuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mr. Jin is in the game, so he naturally knows the core key of this game best. Sometimes, those who are involved are confused, and they only need to step back two steps and slow down two steps to see clearly." Xiang Nuan said.
"Then what's the point of wanting Jinpeng?" Jin Nuoyi asked, his tone much softer.
Xiang Nuan scratched her head, feeling that she couldn't be so "smart" any longer. But thinking of Jiang Chao's stubbornness, maybe they really needed someone to mediate this mess.
She is so worried, why does she do that? !
"After Chen Weiming kidnapped me, Mr. Jiang provided manpower, money and cooperation. This time when Chen Weiming called him to ask for money, he transferred the money without saying a word..." Xiang Nuan paused again.
"That was... the last straw that broke the camel's back?" Zhai Jinpeng felt a chill on his spine. He had a hunch that Jiang Chao's money was not just for the sake of saving his friend, but to prove Chen Weiming's guilt.
"That will be his bargaining chip in future negotiations with Chairman Jiang."
Jin Nuo paused and stopped beating for a beat.
This was also her plan, to set up a new company, secure shares in the new company, and then use this as a bargaining chip to negotiate with her father...but his plan was actually more in-depth and thorough than hers.
"Zhai Jinpeng's joining Baotu will not only drain away some of his father's power, but also make the cooperation between our two families look closer, thus cushioning the impact of the broken engagement. More importantly, it is not a new company and will not threaten his interests and layout." Jin Nuo gradually understood the mystery, but she did not feel happy. Instead, she realized that her fate was to jump from one chess table to another, and she also realized the reality that her mind and strategies were far inferior to Jiang Chao's.
“Humph,” she sneered, “I have no choice but to agree to his request. It seems like he has fulfilled my wish, but in fact, I have no other choice.”
Xiang Nuan shrugged. She suppressed her sympathy for Jin Nuoyi and tried to speak objectively: "Without him, you would have chosen this path too."
Jin Nuoyi was slightly startled: "Mrs. Jiang can see through not only him, but also me."
Xiang Nuan forced a smile. For her, this feeling was not that of an all-seeing master, but rather a torment of sitting on pins and needles.
"In fact, I think Mr. Jiang still has some good intentions to protect you."
"What do you mean?"
"No matter how Mr. Jiang plans, you will eventually have to face a storm. Whether you use capital to counter it or your status to persuade him, your father can't do anything to you except being furious. But Manager Zhai is different..."
Jin Nuoyi looked at Zhai Jinpeng. This was indeed a problem that could not be ignored. She had actually thought about it a long time ago. If her father dared to vent his anger on him, she would definitely try her best to protect him, but that would only result in a lose-lose situation.
He even thought of this.
"There is another question. Why did you help Jinpeng? After all, he did something wrong to you."
Xiang Nuan gritted her teeth, thinking about her experience of visiting the UK to look for Jin Nuoyi's old news. The man who was imprisoned forever should have long forgotten the pain of the girl he had violated and had to fabricate another unbearable story to cover up the truth in order to survive.
For so many years, she lived with the humiliation of breaking up other people's families and being ruthlessly abandoned, but even her father didn't know that it was that beast who brutally violated her and finally ran away.
Fortunately, due to karma and the law of nature, he got the punishment he deserved. But Jin Nuoyi could never find that innocent girl again. The scar in her heart not only did not heal with the passage of time, but became deeper and deeper in the indifference of her family and the disgrace of the world.
Zhai Jinpeng was a chance for her to heal from her wounds given by God. As a woman, Xiang Nuan couldn't help but sympathize with her. All she could do was to keep her mouth shut and never reveal the secret, including to Jin Nuoyi. She needed to believe that no one else in the world knew the truth except her. That was her only sense of security.
"Don't tell me you did it just to deal with Yuan Zhen. It's not even worth it for you to even move a finger." Jin Nuoyi asked, bringing her back to her senses.
"It's better to resolve an embarrassment than to create one." Xiang Nuan smiled, "I don't want to be an enemy of President Jin. My only wish is to stay away from you and President Jiang's lives. You and I are not from the same world, and there should be no intersection."
Jin Nuoyi chuckled: "You are such a weird person."
"I just want to stay away from trouble and live my life quietly." Xiang Nuan took a deep breath and said, "Have you answered all your questions? Let's make it clear that this is the last time we contact each other, and we will not have any more contact."
"No more contact."
Jin Nuo smiled, tears welling up in her eyes. She quickly and imperceptibly suppressed the sudden surge of emotions and put on a serious mask.
