Chapter 57 You Will Hurt Her
You will hurt her
Jiang Qingyan was wearing a soft white shirt today. He had an upright posture and his legs looked straight and slender against his black trousers.
He lowered his head and stood quietly at the door of the study, with a cold and chilly air that seemed to keep strangers away.
I don't know how long I stood there.
Hearing the voice, he came back to his senses, lowered his head to push the thin gold-rimmed glasses on his high nose bridge, then turned to look at Yao Man with a gentle voice.
"Just arrived and was about to knock on the door."
Yao Man was comforted by her father last night and was held and coaxed by Jiang Qingyan for a long time, and her anger had mostly subsided.
She had just woken up from her nap and was still a little confused. "Are you looking for my dad? What's the matter——"
Before he finished speaking, the door of the study was suddenly opened from the inside.
Yao Wei's eyes swept over Jiang Qingyan, examining him and sizing him up. "Qingyan, why are you here?"
Jiang Qingyan glanced into the study.
"Boss He asked me to come here to see him at three o'clock. The housekeeper said he was in the study. I just got here and was about to knock on the door when Manman came."
Hearing that it was He Zheng who asked him to come, Yao Wei turned around and looked at He Zheng.
He Zheng was still sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed.
"Didn't you ask him to talk to me about cooperation? Then come here and talk. Once it's done, just sign and finalize the deal. Otherwise, when Yao Tianyu finds out, he'll have another seizure. If I end up not signing, wouldn't that be a waste of my time?"
Yao Wei glared at him, then turned to look at Jiang Qingyan, glanced at the document in his hand, and was slightly surprised.
"I just told you last night, and you sorted it out today?"
Jiang Qingyan said respectfully, "Yes, since you said as soon as possible, I sorted out a part of it first and wanted to show it to Mr. He first."
As they were talking, Yao Man had already walked towards the study. She pointed at He Zheng with her freshly manicured hands, her face full of disgust and hatred.
"He Zheng, have you fallen for Wen Ruan's magic? Why do you always go against me for her?"
He Zheng's smile was chilling.
"What does our feud have to do with Wen Ruan? You abused a cat back then, and I let it run away. You almost whipped me to death, and I still remember that grudge. I just don't like you."
Yao Man didn't expect that he would be so arrogant even in the Yao family. Her face turned pale and blue, and her anger immediately rushed to her temples. Yao Wei spoke.
"Say less."
Yao Wei said to He Zheng, "Apologize to your sister!"
When He Zheng left Minghe, Wen Ruan told him, "Now is not the time to have a falling out with Yao Wei. Being able to bend and stretch can solve a lot of problems."
"sorry."
After apologizing against his will, He Zheng added, "But I will always remember the grudge you gave me for whipping me, so don't mess with me again."
Yao Wei knew that with his carefree personality, it was not easy for him to say "sorry", and he also knew that He Zheng was giving him face at this time, so he was quite satisfied.
He patted Yao Man's shoulder and said lovingly:
"Manman, He Zheng has always held grudges. With his temper, it's good enough that he can apologize. Let's just put this matter behind us, okay? Daddy promises that no one will dare to talk about what happened last night."
"dad!"
Yao Man didn't want to let it go like this.
"He embarrassed me in public, and an apology is all it takes? Even if it wasn't because of Wen Ruan, I still hate her. He Zheng must fire Wen Ruan!"
Yao Wei wanted to say something, but He Zheng suddenly said, "Sure."
Jiang Qingyan looked at He Zheng with a veiled look in his eyes. Just as he showed his surprise, he saw He Zheng pointing at him and said:
"If you want me to fire Wen Ruan, then you have to compensate me with Jiang Qingyan. Minghe has suffered a lot because of Rongli in the past few years, all because of Wen Ruan and Jiang Qingyan. These two people have finally fallen out, and I have to catch one of them."
Yao Man refused without even thinking.
"No! Qingyan is my fiancé, and we're getting married soon. How can he go to Minghe?"
He Zheng leaned lazily on the sofa, not angry, and made a second suggestion.
"That's not possible, right? Well, I'm going to dig Wen Ruan to Minghe to use him against Jiang Qingyan. If you don't want to give Jiang Qingyan to me, then let him leave Rongli. It's only fair that both sides lose a general."
Jiang Qingyan: "..."
How clever and immoral! With just two sentences, he shifted the conflict onto him and put him on the spot.
Yao Man still refused, "No, Qing Yan can't resign."
She had just joined Rongli Capital, and the previous luxurious life was too boring. She had just started to enjoy the feeling of a bunch of people following her and calling her "Mr. Yao". She had not had enough of working.
Moreover, she took over Wen Ruan's department and has already announced that she will do a better job than Wen Ruan, but she has not yet proven herself.
Who would teach Jiang Qingyan if she resigned? She also didn't want a husband who stayed at home and did nothing.
Her answer was within He Zheng's expectations, and he looked at Yao Wei.
"I gave you face and apologized. I also gave in several times regarding Wen Ruan's matter. She can't accept this or that, so it seems like I'm the only one who suffers."
He stood up from the sofa.
"Just tell me straight up, either Jiang Qingyan leaves Rongli and Wen Ruan leaves Minghe, or Wen Ruan and I will stay, or you take over Minghe like you did with Zhenhua Capital, and we'll both be in trouble."
When he heard the word Zhenhua Capital, Jiang Qingyan lowered his head and adjusted his glasses, and his eyes behind the lenses were covered with a layer of shadow.
…
He Meizhu came in with some iced fruit. Seeing the heavy atmosphere in the room and Yao Wei's grim expression, she subconsciously scolded He Zheng:
"You little brat, you made your dad angry again!"
She placed the fruit on the coffee table and patted He Zheng's arm vigorously, "Apologize to your father!"
Seeing that Yao Man's face was also unhappy, she said another sentence.
"Apologize to your sister as well! You helped an outsider bully your sister last night. You were simply ridiculous. And that Wen Ruan, she's a nuisance. Why did you provoke her?"
He Zheng had ignored her at first, but when he heard her mention Wen Ruan, his face instantly darkened. He looked at Yao Man and said lightly.
"He Meizhu told me all about your dark history. She said a lot of bad things about you."
He Meizhu: “???”
Did she say that? Did she complain about it?
No, even if she said it, she is his biological mother. How could there be such a treacherous son?
Before He Meiju could explain, Yao Man exploded and glared at her fiercely with angry eyes.
"I was wondering how He Zheng knew all that! I guessed it was you last night, and it turned out to be you!"
He Meizhu quickly hid behind Yao Wei, "No, Manman, listen to your aunt's explanation. He Zheng, that brat, is wrongly accusing me..."
Yao Wei was annoyed by the noise and He Meizhu's shaking, so he simply kicked them both out.
As soon as the door was closed, the noise outside became deafening and the study finally became quiet.
Yao Wei pointed at He Zheng with his fingers twisting his Buddhist beads, his face sullen. "As long as you're here, there's no peace and quiet!"
He Zheng sat down leisurely again, "I didn't want to come either, but you forced me to come."
Yao Wei sat down opposite him, pressing his hand to his brow, "Wen Ruan, if you want to stay, then keep it."
He had guessed long ago that He Zheng would not fire Wen Ruan now.
This guy is a rebellious person. The more you don't let him do something, the more he will do it. Just let him stay. She is just a woman. What kind of waves can she cause?
Yao Wei took a step back and made another request, "You can keep Wen Ruan, but you can't go against Rong Li anymore and let others laugh at you."
He Zheng shrugged. "Minghe and Rongli are in the same industry, and when they are in the same industry, there will be competition. I can only promise that we will have healthy competition in the future and there will be no more malicious targeting."
He added, "Of course, you have to persuade Yao Tianyu not to bite me like a mad dog. I won't take the initiative to cause trouble, but I will fight back."
This was the biggest concession he could make, and this was what Yao Wei expected of him today, so he was quite satisfied.
His brows relaxed slightly. "Since everyone knows you're a member of the Yao family, let's pick a day to formally introduce you to everyone."
He Zheng drank the tea he had just poured with a half-smile on his face.
"That's fine with me, but you have to convince your children."
There is indeed still a lot of work to be done to recognize He Zheng, but since He Zheng is willing to give in, it is half successful. Yao Wei is in a good mood. He looked up and saw Jiang Qingyan still standing there, waving at him.
"Qingyan, come here. Don't you have a project for He Zheng to look at? Show it to him and talk to him."
…
He Zheng selected two projects.
One took it all for himself, and the other cooperated with Rongli. He got all the benefits from the terms of the cooperation. Yao Wei's main purpose was to make the two companies cooperate and break the ice in external relations, so he was generous.
The negotiations ended at around five o'clock.
Jiang Qingyan followed He Zheng out.
Their cars were parked in the same place and they were walking side by side.
He Zhengxian warned him, "Since you have chosen Yao Man, put aside your thoughts on Wen Ruan, and try to disturb her again."
Jiang Qingyan looked straight ahead, his eyes darkened behind his lenses, and he sighed softly.
"You should know what a dangerous place the Yao family is. You're dragging her into this, He Zheng. You're going to hurt her."
"You are the one who harmed her," He Zheng sneered, "all her disasters were caused by you."
Jiang Qingyan was silent.
If we continue talking about this topic, we will end up fighting, so Jiang Qingyan talked about another thing.
"You just mentioned Zhenhua Capital. You said that Chairman Yao was hostile to the acquisition. You can't just say that. What evidence do you have?"
He Zheng put his hands in his pockets and glanced at him with contempt in his dark eyes.
"He's already protecting his master even before he's married into the family. He's truly a loyal dog. If you want to know, go check it out yourself."
Two cars drove over. Before He Zheng was about to get in, he suddenly thought of something. He leaned closer to Jiang Qingyan and said in a low voice:
"Wen Ruan took the initiative to kiss me today, a French kiss. She also wants to sleep with me tonight. Do you think I should go first or last? Tsk, I'm so confused."
Jiang Qingyan's expression suddenly changed and he almost punched him.
…
Zhang Tongtong suddenly decided to come back after quarreling with Pan Rui. She came in such a hurry that she forgot to bring the key to her house.
Wen Ruan brought the mother and daughter to Qingyue Mansion.
Guoguo fell asleep on the way here. Wen Ruan carried her to the bedroom and then back to the living room.
Zhang Tongtong sat cross-legged on the sofa. She didn't dare to cry in front of her daughter. She had been holding it in all the way. Now her emotions came out and she cried for a long time before she could speak.
"Pan Rui said that I was wronged when his mother was in the hospital. It was summer vacation, so he took Guoguo and me out to play. After all, our family of three was so happy."
"Well, his mother heard we were playing outside and said her eldest grandson was crying at home with envy. Pan Rui felt sorry for us and drove to pick us up. The round trip took two days."
"I won't say anything about this. The key point is that it's too infuriating. After she came, she had to do whatever her eldest grandson said. She had to go wherever he said. He even snatched Guoguo's things. He's just a child, so I can tolerate it. The key point is that he deliberately pushed Guoguo down the stairs!"
"We didn't see it. Guoguo said it himself. I believe Guoguo wouldn't lie, but Pan Rui and his mother don't believe it. They say the child has no bad intentions and it wasn't intentional. He was just playing around."
"We talked about this again today. The old lady said that the education in her hometown was not good and she wanted to send her eldest grandson to Haicheng to study. She said that Pan Rui is making more money now and has moved to a bigger house, so she wants to come too."
"She said she was taking care of us, but in reality, she was just handing her eldest grandson over to us. Why? The child still has a mother and a father. Why should I be the one being taken advantage of? The key is that Pan Rui actually agreed!"
"I really can't stand it anymore, I want a divorce!"
Wen Ruan kept holding her and comforting her. She was indeed aggrieved, and she scolded her for almost two hours without stopping.
After cursing, Zhang Tongtong said, "Don't try to persuade me today. I feel better now that I've said it. I need to get some sleep. I was so angry last night that I couldn't sleep all night. I was tossing and turning today and I really can't hold on any longer. We can talk tomorrow if you have anything to say."
She went to the bedroom, but Guoguo didn't wake up yet, so the mother and daughter slept together.
Wen Ruan didn't have much appetite in the evening, so he ate an apple and went to the study.
The founder of Ai Yue Technology will return to Haicheng tomorrow. He Zheng made an appointment for her to meet tomorrow afternoon. She went to the study and studied Ai Yue's information again.
I came out to get some water at nine o'clock in the evening and the doorbell rang.
The person who went to open the door was He Zheng.
Wearing a bathrobe with most of his chest exposed, he stretched out his hand towards her, with a small unopened box in his palm. He looked at her, coughed, and his face turned red from his ears.
"There are three in a box. Is that enough?"
