Chapter 458 Are You My Father?
Jiang Yao was delighted, as she had heard her mother say this before.
Because they are connected by blood, there may be a sense of connection between relatives.
After discussing the cooperation and coming down from the second floor, Jiang Yao was about to share the situation with Li Beiting.
As a result, a bright red figure stood in front of her. It was the enchanting woman from before.
"Is there anything wrong?" Jiang Yao asked politely.
The woman didn't hesitate to answer her. "I've seen people like you before. You're relying on your youth and good looks to get close to President Xiao, right? I'm telling you today, he's my man. If you know better, don't try to do anything crooked with him. If you don't listen to my advice, you'll have to bear the consequences!"
There was a warning in her eyes.
Jiang Yao was speechless for a while.
So he thinks of her as a love rival?
"Ma'am, please don't make assumptions. I already have a boyfriend." She didn't want to get too involved with this kind of person.
The woman sneered, "Can your boyfriend compare to Xiao Zhengrong? Besides, having a boyfriend and being a mistress don't conflict. Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Don't get close to my man again!"
Jiang Yao finally couldn't bear it anymore.
She spoke to people nicely, but they just couldn't understand her.
Then why is she being polite to this person?
"You keep talking about your man. May I ask if Mr. Xiao has been nice to you? He doesn't even want to touch you and thinks you're dirty. Do you really think you're the mistress?" She said sarcastically.
"Shut up!" The woman was immediately furious. "There has been no other woman around him for so many years. I am the only one who can get close to him. I am different to him!"
She seemed eager to prove something.
Jiang Yao rolled his eyes and said, "There should be a limit to being sentimental. To tell you the truth, I am his only daughter!"
The woman turned pale when she heard this. "That's impossible! He's been single all these years and has never been married."
"You can't have children if you're not married?" Jiang Yao raised her eyebrows and smiled sweetly, "You know him so well, how come you don't even know he has a daughter? The woman he truly loves has long been well hidden by him. How could you possibly find out and let you hurt us, mother and daughter?"
The woman staggered back half a step, her face pale and blue, as if she had suffered a huge blow, so much so that she didn't even have the strength to refute.
Seeing that she was distracted, Jiang Yao walked past her and left the place.
After meeting Li Beiting and walking out of the banquet hall, she told him the details she discovered about Xiao Zhengrong.
"It seems that the probability has now increased to 90%. You can try to ask again during tomorrow's cooperation meeting. Maybe you can find out something." Li Beiting encouraged her with a smile.
"Yeah." Jiang Yao was also full of confidence at this time.
The next day arrived quickly.
Jiang Yao dressed neatly and came to the reception room of Xiao Group with the contract.
Xiao Zhengrong was already waiting there.
Both parties sat down immediately. Xiao Zhengrong asked his assistant to prepare tea and asked her what she wanted to drink.
"Black tea, please."
"You like black tea too?" Xiao Zhengrong said gently, "It just so happens that my largest collection is black tea. I'll ask my assistant to get my treasure to treat you."
"Mr. Xiao, you're too polite." Jiang Yao was quite happy. They even had similar tastes in tea.
The assistant quickly went down to prepare.
In the next half hour, the two sides discussed the content of the cooperation.
But it got stuck at the last level. "Ms. Jiang, are you sure you won't change the contract terms?"
"Yes, Mr. Xiao, do you have any other opinions or requests?" Jiang Yao was puzzled.
"It's not that I have any objections." Xiao Zhengrong looked at her strangely, "Jiang Group's position in the industry is much higher than Xiao Group's. I just think that with these conditions, you can definitely make higher demands.
Rather than this kind of...interests are more inclined towards the Xiao family."
He thought Jiang Yao was too modest.
Jiang Yao hadn't thought of this.
It was just that when I was drafting the contract, I subconsciously thought that if it was my father, then there would be no problem in giving more benefits.
"This shows my sincerity in wanting to cooperate." Jiang Yao said sincerely.
Xiao Zhengrong put down the contract, seeming to be unconvinced.
People in the business world are the most vigilant.
Especially for those who have reached his status, they will not accept rewards without merit. The more it favors his interests, the more he will suspect that there are other purposes behind it.
In his opinion, Jiang Yao's kindness made him feel defensive.
"Ms. Jiang, if you have other purposes, you might as well say it directly! I don't want to feel like I'm being calculated or used." His face darkened.
Having said that, Jiang Yao simply looked up at him and said, "Okay, since Mr. Xiao said so, can I ask you a question?"
"you say."
"Have you ever lost an important memory?" Jiang Yao went straight to the point.
Xiao Zhengrong's eyelids twitched, but his expression remained calm. "Why do you ask that?"
Jiang Yao knew that he must be wary of her at this moment. She thought for a moment, then simply took out the old photo and placed it in front of him, motioning him to look at it.
Xiao Zhengrong looked down and was stunned when he saw the two people in the photo.
This is a photo of a man and a woman. You can tell they are a couple by the looks of it.
The man looked about 70% similar to him when he was young. As for the woman... although the photo had yellowed and the woman's facial features were not very clear, he inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity in his heart.
It seemed as if even the soul was touched by it.
"The man and woman in the photo are my parents. About 25 years ago, they were traveling together when a car accident and explosion occurred. My family was unable to find them and thought they were dead!
Until a while ago, I found my mother, but she had a different face..."
Jiang Yao recounted the general situation to him, "My parents are too far away from me. When I was a child, I was adopted by someone else's family and I also had parents, but there was always a barrier between us. Later I found out that I was not their biological child.
I have been disappointed and in pain, but I finally got through it. Now I have found my mother again, and I feel very lucky, but she has lost her memory and doesn't know whether her father is dead or alive.
Until I met you again..."
Having said that, she gradually stopped talking.
Xiao Zhengrong cleverly guessed something, his eyes gradually widening. "So, when you first greeted me, you asked me if I knew you! And then you approached me about cooperation because I look so much like your father, and you suspected I was your father!"
"Yes." Jiang Yao's expression was calm. "Mr. Xiao, I know it's abrupt to ask this, but my father means something special to me and my mother. I dream of finding him. I won't hide it from you. I've privately investigated your background information and found some problems..."
