Chapter 544: Greedy

"Tang Zi is right. If no one answers the call, there might be a problem. But if the line is busy, it should be fine."

If your cell phone is busy, it means you are either on a plane or on the phone with someone. As long as you are busy, it won't be a big problem.

Xingzhou stood up and stretched his waist.

"Wake up from your nap, maybe that guy will be here soon."

He also didn't believe that Jiang He would really fall for a woman.

Since the discussion was fruitless and the phone call was unreachable, there was no point in worrying, so everyone went back to their rooms to take a nap.

I just hope that when they wake up, Jiang He will have arrived.

Capital, Zijin Pavilion Guild Hall.

In the private room, Jiang He sat behind the tea table, fiddling with a small red clay pot in his hand. He wore a gray-blue plaid vest over a pure white shirt, his cuffs were slightly rolled up, and his hair was combed neatly.

Amid the hot steam, his expression remained cold.

It was not until a cup of steaming tea was placed opposite him that Jiang He raised his eyes and looked at the woman opposite him.

"Li Yue, you touched my bottom line."

Li Yue, who was wearing a blue business suit, had a pale face, and even the thick makeup could not hide the blue in her eyes. The foolproof plan had failed, even though she had anticipated the consequences of failure.

But when I really faced it, I was still scared.

"Brother Jiang, I...I really like you. I don't want to, but I can't control myself..."

Before she could finish, Jiang He raised his hand and interrupted her, "I don't want to hear this."

"...Brother Jiang, I know I'm not worthy of you, but I can't control matters of the heart. I try to suppress this greed that I shouldn't have, but once I see you, I lose control."

Li Yue's eyes were bloodshot and her clasped hands were shaking slightly.

Looking at his cold eyes, where is the emotion in them? Such a person is naturally cold-hearted and cold-hearted, and his heart will not beat for anyone.

But she was unwilling to give up. She was unwilling to give up the silent efforts of the past few years. But having come to this point, she didn't know what she would face next.

"Brother Jiang, although my family background is ordinary, I work hard and have made a lot of progress in the past few years. For you, I can give up everything. As long as your eyes can fall on me for a moment, I will be satisfied."

"I don't expect you to be devoted to me, as long as you know I'm there for you when you're tired or upset."

The sons of wealthy families were not sincere at all. Even if they got married, it would not stop them from having a life of debauchery. Many couples who were arranged to marry each other were just playing around with each other, so she never expected Jiang He to love her alone forever.

But her love is wholehearted.

Jiang He held the teacup and took a sip. The longer he was silent, the more unsure Li Yue felt. Even though she tried her best to control herself, her body was still shaking slightly.

"I never keep people with ulterior motives around me... If it weren't for the fact that you helped me back then, you and I would have never met. The resources I've given you over the years are enough for you to live a stable life as long as you don't do anything stupid."

"The consequence of greed is to have nothing."

As soon as these words came out, Li Yue's face turned pale and she looked at Jiang He in horror.

"Brother Jiang, you can't..."

Bang!

Jiang He placed the cup in his hand on the tea table. "I'll give you three days to get out of the capital. Otherwise, I'll have someone escort you out in person."

Li Yue: “…”

Why why...

Jiang He said, and refilled himself with a cup of tea, "Go ahead, don't make yourself look bad."

Li Yue trembled and clasped her hands together. Since she met Jiang He, her career has been smooth sailing without any setbacks. As long as she wanted to do something, she never encountered any obstacles.

She knew that all these were Jiang He's efforts, and she was grateful. But slowly, she found that she fell in love with the cold man. Although he always had a stern face, he always helped her silently.

Seeing him seriously helping her to clear obstacles and gain a foothold in the company, her heart was completely broken.

It is said that people who study law will analyze the pros and cons in any situation, but her love is fierce and passionate, and she is willing to sacrifice her life for it.

She is just a child from an ordinary family. It was not easy for her to get into university. She worked hard step by step to get to where she is today. Only she knows the hardships involved.

Ever since she helped Jiang He inadvertently, visible changes have taken place around her.

Seeing the envious eyes of others and the fawning attitude of others surrounding her, she felt a sense of pride in her heart, which was actually vanity.

Since she realized the convenience brought by power, her mentality has changed. Slowly, she became familiar with Jiang He and could no longer control her heart.

She knew that the marriage of a son of a rich family could not be decided by herself, but Jiang He was different. He was strong-willed and the most outstanding son of the Jiang family. As long as he nodded, she could marry into the Jiang family even if she was a country girl.

Especially at the annual party before the New Year, she attended in her best attire and accepted everyone's praises. At the same time, some people teased her and Jiang He, asking when they could drink at their wedding wine?

At that time, although Jiang He did not agree, he did not refuse either.

Once everyone starts to make a fuss, the matter will be over.

That night, she was the most dazzling one, and facing the compliments from everyone, she lost herself.

She thought that if she worked harder, she would be able to take the position of Mrs. Jiang and bear the Jiang surname. So, after thinking it over again and again, she finally took the first step and made it a done deal.

She thought she was good-looking and capable, and except for her family background, she was no worse than those other women in the family.

Unfortunately, in the end, I was still one step short.

Li Yue stood up with the help of the table, her eyes ashen, "Brother Jiang, you are so cruel. You gave me hope, but you threw me into an endless abyss... I tried my best to love you, but you turned a blind eye."

Jiang He raised his eyes and looked at her, "Too much drama."

Li Yue choked and her face turned red. "On the day of the cocktail party... everyone thought you and I were boyfriend and girlfriend. When everyone started to make fun of us, you clearly didn't object."

"It's nonsense. I don't want to pay attention to it." Jiang He put down his teacup and narrowed his eyes.

He had inadvertently given this woman too many conveniences, causing her to develop an inappropriate desire.

Unfortunately, I was still too stupid to think that I would have to accept it just by giving him some drugs and having sex with him.

What~, I don't know what it means.

If that were true, he would have been eaten up by the Jiang family long ago without leaving anything behind.

Thinking of the dizziness he felt after drinking that day, Jiang He still couldn't hide his anger. If Dai Qing hadn't warned him in advance, he would have really been in trouble.

"Get lost!"

Li Yue couldn't help but shudder when she met those cold eyes. She staggered a step, and the door of the private room was pushed open.

"Boss, the phone has been fixed. I got a new one, made in Hong Kong, the latest model."

Assistant Zong Xiangzhi walked in holding a brand new mobile phone, glanced at Li Yue, and walked straight to the boss.
