Chapter 440 Her bottom line is Li Beiting
After a while, Cheng Jianwei spoke again: "What are your terms of exchange?"
This time, it was Jiang Yao who answered her, "It's very simple. We want to work together with you to defeat Huo Yishen from within, pull him down from his high position, and help you take over."
Cheng Jianwei was a little surprised.
She had guessed the first half, after all, the fight between the Huo and Jiang families was already in full swing, but she didn't expect the second half to support her.
Cheng Jianwei said meaningfully, "I thought you were going to say that you wanted to drive Huo Yishen out of his position and take over the company!"
Jiang Yao looked helpless. "What do I need a company for? I can't manage such a huge Jiang Corporation. I don't have such big ambitions."
"What about Mr. Li? Don't you have one either?" Cheng Jianwei asked tentatively.
"I listen to Yaoyao. I support her no matter what she wants to do. As for the company, I will create it myself. Why should I snatch things from others?" Li Beiting naturally has his pride.
Cheng Jianwei took note of the expressions of both of them.
They are quite similar.
No wonder they are called the golden boy and jade girl and a model couple by the outside world.
Thinking of this, Cheng Jianwei's eyes suddenly flashed with malice, "You can ask me to cooperate, but I have one condition."
"Ms. Cheng, please speak."
"I want—" Cheng Jianwei's finger suddenly pointed in the direction of Li Beiting, "Him!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Li Beiting and Jiang Yao's expressions changed.
Probably no one expected that she would make such a request.
"Why, you don't want to?" Cheng Jianwei observed their expressions with interest. "It seems that compared to the future of the Jiang family, Miss Jiang cares more about a man! Is a lover more important than family?
But it's also true. I heard that Miss Jiang was only adopted into the Jiang family in recent years, so naturally your feelings for your family aren't that deep."
Li Beiting frowned and wanted to say something for Jiang Yao, but she held his hand to stop him.
"Since Miss Cheng can put forward such rude conditions, then there is nothing for us to discuss!"
After Jiang Yao finished speaking, he turned around and walked away holding Li Beiting's hand, his back showing no sign of reluctance.
This time, not only Cheng Jianwei, but even Li Beiting was surprised.
This was clearly a rare opportunity to cooperate and bring down Huo Yishen. He thought Jiang Yao would at least try to persuade Cheng Jianwei, but he didn't expect her to make a decision so quickly.
"Stop!" Cheng Jianwei stood up suddenly and said in disbelief, "Have you really decided? For a man, you want to give up the opportunity to cooperate with me? Are your relatives really that unimportant to you?"
Jiang Yao sneered, "To Miss Cheng, isn't a man more important than your mother?"
Cheng Jianwei's face froze: "What did you say!"
Jiang Yao turned around and looked at her, "As the party seeking cooperation, we humbly ask for the greatest benefit for you. Not only can we help your mother with her illness, but we can also support you in taking the position of heir.
We've shown enough sincerity, but you, you want to steal my man. I'm blind to find someone like you with such a distorted outlook to discuss cooperation. Today, just pretend I never came."
After saying that, she took Li Beiting with her and prepared to leave again.
Cheng Jianwei's face turned pale and blue, "Aren't you afraid that I will tell Huo Yishen about what happened today?"
"Go ahead and tell him. He and I are irreconcilable anyway. What if he finds out? I'm not like Miss Cheng, who has to kowtow to him, pretending to have no interest in power, and living a life of drunkenness and debauchery to let him down."
Jiang Yao's tone was full of sarcasm, "Then I wish Miss Cheng good luck."
Cheng Jianwei's cheeks turned red from being confronted.
Seeing that they were about to step out of the box, she finally spoke again, "Wait! I lose to you. I admit that I just wanted to test you. I have no interest in men who are labeled and whose hearts are not with me."
This time, she finally compromised and spoke her mind.
Jiang Yao paused, then slowly turned around, "Some things can't stand the test, because everyone has their own bottom line, and mine is the man next to me."
Li Beiting's heart was shaken, and his eyes fell on Jiang Yao, "Yaoyao..."
Only now did he realize how important he was to Jiang Yao.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Jiang Yao felt a little uncomfortable being looked at, but he still wanted to express his feelings. "I've said it before, you mean a lot to me. Once I decide on you, I won't let you go."
Li Beiting gave her a gentle smile.
Looking at the two of them being so intimate as if no one was around, Cheng Jianwei got goosebumps all over his body.
"Ahem..." She cleared her throat and reminded them, "Now can we sit down and talk about the real business of cooperation?"
The two of them didn't shy away from the conversation. They held hands and returned to their seats. Jiang Yao took the initiative to speak: "Then let's talk it over. You've been working under him for so long. Based on your observation, is there anything we can break through?"
"I do know a little..." Cheng Jianwei paused here, and then asked again with concern: "Will you really help me seize power? You won't just use me and throw me away!"
"If you are really worried, we can sign a contract now and put our fingerprints and seals on it." Jiang Yao expressed his attitude.
"Okay, I feel relieved when you say that." Cheng Jianwei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked at Jiang Yao with complicated eyes and said slowly: "Actually, I have known you for a long time. When I went to the Huo family before, I discovered a secret of Huo Yishen."
Jiang Yao's eyelids twitched, and a bad premonition suddenly surged in his heart: "What?"
At this point, Cheng Jianwei no longer concealed the truth. "When I was visiting the Huo family, I accidentally entered his room and found some things in a box under the bed. There were photos of you as a child, in middle school, and in high school. Some of them looked like they were taken secretly. There were also... a bunch of girls' clothes and pants, and even a used toothbrush, fallen baby teeth, hair, and so on."
When she saw those things, she got goosebumps all over her body and thought she had encountered some pervert.
Would an elder deliberately collect these items from his younger generation?
At this moment, a bone-chilling chill suddenly emanated from the air.
She shivered unconsciously from the cold, and when she looked up, she met Li Beiting's sinister and terrifying gaze. "Are you sure?"
Cheng Jianwei felt a chill on his neck, "Sure."
Jiang Yao was so disgusted that his face turned pale and he was about to vomit.
Why didn't she realize that Huo Yishen had these abnormal behaviors before, and she had been with him for such a long time.
She didn't know when he started to have feelings for her.
But it will definitely take a long time.
It's so creepy!
