Chapter 49
166: [. . . ]
The guess is damn accurate.
It quickly reviewed Jiang Qiao's life over the past six years and said, "Why are you an actor again?"
[There is no other way. I cannot support myself with other jobs.] Jiang Qiao said earnestly.
166 was silent for a while, then said: [I told you not to donate all of it and keep some for yourself, but you refused to listen. You deserve it.]
She has so many tricks in her mind, but she donates money so readily and generously. How can a vicious female supporting character establish a noble character? 166 is so disappointed in her.
It doesn't understand human emotions, and Jiang Qiao has no interest in talking to it.
A shadow fell over his head, and Jiang Qiao thought it was Yu Xiaoxiao who had returned.
Tsk, this guy is not done yet, she didn't even raise her head, and said impatiently: "Do you really want me to go find Mr. Li?"
"What, Mr. Li?" The man's voice was gentle and pleasant, with a hint of doubt.
Jiang Qiao raised his eyes, then frowned: "Jiang Chao?"
This was the first time she had seen Jiang Chao in two years.
Two years ago, Jiang Chao, who inherited the Jiang family, found her place and said to her in a weird tone, "I want to send Xiaoying to a school in Country M for further studies. What do you think?"
Country M, where Lu Xun is.
Unexpectedly, four years later, Song Qingying still couldn't forget Lu Xun, and Jiang Chao still loved Song Qingying unconditionally.
But why did he have to come up to her and say something? Did he feel relieved when he saw her so distraught?
Jiang Qiao didn't understand his thoughts, she smiled and said, "As long as you are happy."
Jiang Chao didn't say anything. He stared at her deeply for a long while. He didn't see any sadness on her face. After a while, he chuckled and said, "Of course I'm happy."
He asked again: "Why did you go back to City A?"
The questioning tone made Jiang Qiao laugh: "This is my hometown. Do I need to report to you when I come back?"
"Jiang Qiao, it's not easy to get into the entertainment industry. If you need money, you can tell me."
He kept saying what he wanted to say, one sentence after another. Jiang Qiao was simply confused: "If you have too much money and have nowhere to spend it, just give it to the country."
After this unpleasant conversation, Jiang Chao never looked for her again. Because of their different social classes, she never saw Jiang Chao again.
Jiang Chao asked again: "Who is Mr. Li? What do you want to see him for?"
Jiang Qiao pretended not to hear.
Jiang Chao: "Jiang Qiao, speak."
Hey, he really inherited the family fortune and became Mr. Jiang. He is different now, and he speaks in a questioning tone.
Jiang Qiao sneered: "Does it have anything to do with you?"
She spoke each word with great emphasis, not disguising her annoyance: "Boss Jiang, I'm really not familiar with you. Can you please stop coming in front of me for no reason and saying nonsense? I'm scared."
“……………………” Jiang Chao’s expression changed for a moment, but after a closer look, it returned to normal. He slowed down his tone, still polite and gentle: “You don’t have to be so hostile to me.”
Jiang Qiao immediately waved his hands: "No, no, no, don't think too much. I'm not familiar with you, so where does the hostility come from?"
Jiang Chao was silent for a moment and said:
"Jiang Qiao, I came here today to tell you that Lu Xun......"
Suddenly there was a loud noise, interrupting Jiang Chao's unfinished words.
Many of the important people at the banquet walked towards the entrance of the banquet hall, accompanied by the sound of flattery.
"I've heard of Mr. Lu's name for a long time, but I've never had the chance to meet him. Now that I see him, he's indeed a young talent!"
"Yes, yes, it's true that every generation has its own talents. Mr. Lu, please take care of me."
"Hello, Mr. Lu, I am......"
The wealthy and arrogant bosses in the upper circles of City A shook hands and greeted each other. Most of them were in their forties or fifties, and their attitude was actually inferior.
Most of the time, absolute strength can transcend age, making people fear you and dare not neglect you, let alone take advantage of your seniority.
The man who was the center of attention was half a head taller than the people around him. He had a tall and straight figure, a clear jawline, and the perfect curve at the corners of his mouth. On his high nose bridge rested a pair of gold-framed glasses, covering his handsome and cold eyebrows.
Jiang Qiao's breathing became lighter. He stared blankly for a long time. In a trance, he returned to the old alley six years ago. Under the night light, in front of the roses, he was still a young boy...
After passing through layers of dream mist, his face finally appeared clearly in front of her today.
Lu Xun has changed and yet seems to have not changed. He used to be expressionless and kept people at a distance, but now he can respond to other people's compliments and conversations with ease.
The coldness and arrogance between his brows completely faded away, and his whole temperament became calm, steady and mature.
Jiang Chao followed her line of sight and saw Lu Xun surrounded by the crowd. Lu Xun was not an ordinary person. He knew six years ago that
But he was still shocked when he learned that Lu Xun was the president of Guonan.
“…………He is quite powerful.” Jiang Chao said.
Jiang Qiao was still looking in that direction, and said in a resounding voice: "Of course."
There was obvious pride in her tone, as if she was the one being praised.
Jiang Chao looked at her slightly red eyes and asked after a while: "Do you regret it?"
If I had known that Lu Xun would be so successful, we would have gone through those difficult days together.
Jiang Qiao didn't answer.
Jiang Chao regretted it as soon as he asked the question. What answer did he want to hear?
The current situation of the Jiang family is not very good. He came here to make friends with the president of Guonan, but now he is already a step behind and cannot delay any longer.
Jiang Chao left, but Jiang Qiao was still thinking about his question. It wasn't that she was being pretentious, but she thought the question Jiang Chao asked was very funny.
What do you regret?
Jiang Qiao never felt that she had done anything wrong. Others could only see Lu Xun's current achievements, but she knew the answer from the beginning, and she always chose what she thought was right.
Perhaps it was because her gaze was too intense, or perhaps it was because Jiang Chao had said something, Lu Xun's gaze gradually turned to her.
Jiang Qiao's breathing stagnated.
Lu Xun's gaze was calm and only stayed on her face for a second before moving away, as if he was looking at a complete stranger.
………………
Yes, six years...is a long time, enough for people to forget a young love that was not so beautiful.
She was mentally prepared, but... she was still caught off guard by the sadness.
A rich girl with a gentle and generous appearance walked up to Lu Xun and said something. Jiang Qiao saw a gentle smile on Lu Xun's lips.
The cake was not sweet anymore, and Jiang Qiao suddenly felt a little depressed. She asked the waiter about the location of the balcony. When Jiang Qiao got up and went out, she suddenly felt a familiar gaze from behind her, but when she looked over, it was gone.
In order not to disturb others, she deliberately came out from the side door, but she didn't expect that someone would follow her anyway.
Jiang Qiao had a cold expression and a distant tone: "Boss Li, why did you come out?"
The cool and aloof man with high explosive power becomes a domineering boss with a double face!
