"Little girl, I heard you were looking for me?"
The man sat across from her across the table, his legs crossed, his suit neatly pressed, his hair meticulously combed, his slightly upturned peach blossom eyes filled with affection, and a hint of a smile on his lips.
The charming eyes staring at you affectionately can't help but make you blush and heartbeat.
Xihe blinked, and it took him about a minute to digest the fact that the mysterious old man he thought was an old lady turned out to be an extremely handsome man.
His shirt was buttoned to the top, his fingers were clean, but his whole body exuded an unruly aura.
Like a... peacock spreading its feathers to court a mate.
Xihe coughed lightly and looked at the man: "Sir, I don't know what you are talking about? Do we know each other?"
She was in a meeting at the company this morning. They had just reached a cooperation agreement with Shangmao two days ago, and she had to keep an eye on it all the time. But suddenly someone came into the company and said someone wanted to see her.
She followed with a head full of question marks and saw the man.
This is a high-end restaurant. The car that picked her up was low-key but had bulletproof glass. The driver was muscular, like a cheetah ready to hunt at any time, and the man's lazy and noble temperament showed that he had an unusual background.
She looked through the people from all walks of life that the original owner knew, and finally came to the conclusion that perhaps he was the mysterious man.
But... this is even more strange, the original owner doesn't seem to have anything to do with this person.
"have no idea?"
The man raised his beautiful eyebrows.
"You left the Jiang family, opened a high-profile company, and openly sided with Jiang Rui, opposing the Jiang family. Aren't you just relying on me to dote on you?"
He took a sip of coffee, his face expressionless.
"Tell me, what do you want?"
Xihe: “…”
Why are you so sharp? Can't you just take it slow?
He had finished speaking, what else could she say?
Xihe simply got straight to the point: "I don't want anything. I just want you to withdraw your support for the Jiang family. I'm grown up now, and I will repay the favor myself."
Although the Jiang family has gained countless benefits from this, the favor cannot be erased. After completing the task, she will consider giving them a suitable ending, but the funding... forget it.
And the final outcome of the original owner in the previous life.
The reason why Jiang Chen dared to plot against the original owner and divorce her was that he realized that the original owner's backer seemed to be gone, so he was so arrogant.
Thinking of this, Xihe couldn't help but look at the man opposite.
"Are you back from abroad?"
The man was a little surprised, then smiled with his peach blossom eyes and said, "You guessed it right."
Xihe: ...What do you mean by guessing?
She was speechless, but she still asked, "When are you going back? Can you go back two days later? I want to give you a gift." She paused, "You've given me so many things, and I haven't given you anything yet."
If it was true as she guessed, that something happened to him later and he had no time to care about the original owner, then her gift would be just right.
If nothing happens...that would be the best.
The man was really surprised this time. He looked at the girl opposite him. She looked to be in her twenties, tall, with delicate features. She was even more beautiful and charming than the last photo he had seen.
A pair of black eyes are cold and clear, less impetuous and more indifferent.
Tsk, you’ve grown up.
He tilted his head. The elegant, white butler, dressed in a tuxedo, said respectfully, "Young lady, the gentleman has a contract to sign the day after tomorrow. Therefore, you can come to see him no later than noon the day after tomorrow."
A card was handed over with both hands.
"We live in Yulong Bay."
Xihe's eyes flashed. Not everyone can live in Yulong Bay. President Jiang once wanted to buy a house there, but unfortunately he had enough money but not enough status and position, so he could only sigh in despair.
but……
"Young lady?"
Is this name what she thinks it means?
Xihe's eyes swept over the man's face inch by inch, and her eyebrows furrowed. "Are you my brother? Or uncle or something? What's your name, Jiang What?"
In an instant, a series of family feuds emerged in my mind, such as vendettas and fights over family property.
The man didn't ignore the gossip on her face and was speechless for a moment. After a moment, he gestured to the butler to give her a business card. He stood up and looked down at her condescendingly: "Little girl, I will withdraw my investment from the Jiang family. Take good care of yourself."
He walked away with his long legs, surrounded by bodyguards, his back looking tall.
A group of people disappeared from sight.
Xihe picked up the beautifully crafted business card, which had only three words on it: 'Jiang Siyao'.
Huh? Also surnamed Jiang?
Just then the cell phone started buzzing.
Xihe picked it up and saw that it was Jiang Rui who had just finished school. She immediately patted her head and replied with a few words, "I'll pick you up right away", then hurried out of the cafe and drove to school.
At the gate of Jingyu High School, Jiang Rui was waiting with his schoolbag on his back, waving goodbye to the students passing by from time to time.
A red car appeared, and he immediately waved to his classmates, ran over with a happy face, opened the door and got in: "Second sister!"
Xihe drove out: "Well, what do you want to eat tonight?"
Jiang Rui thought for a moment and said cheerfully, "Eat Japanese food? Don't you like Japanese food very much, Second Sister?"
Xihe turned to look at him, and the young man immediately smiled widely. He scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "I asked Aunt Liu, and she said you like Japanese food."
Well, he also learned a lot about his second sister's hobbies and habits from Liu Ma.
He must be a good and lovable little brother, hehe.
Xihe felt warm in her heart immediately and said with a smile: "Let's go to hotpot. Today is a perfect day for hotpot." The original owner liked Japanese food, but she didn't.
Jiang Rui nodded immediately: "Okay!"
He also likes hot pot, which is spicy and delicious.
It was November and the weather had turned cooler. The hot pot restaurant was full of diners and was bustling with activity.
Jiang Rui was sweating profusely while eating. Although Xihe was not as exaggerated, beads of sweat also appeared on her forehead. She asked Jiang Rui how school was going? Was he used to it?
Jiang Rui nodded repeatedly: "The classmates are easy to get along with, and the teachers are also very good."
He was speaking from the heart. His classmates would play with him, and his teachers would patiently teach him when they found that his foundation was not solid. He was surprised by how smoothly things went.
In the end, we can only conclude that campus is still simpler than society.
Xihe nodded: "That's fine."
In the evening, Jiang Rui followed Xihe back to her large flat. The Jiang family called and asked a question, then hung up.
Xihe has been busy with company matters in the past two months and seldom returns to the Jiang family villa. Jiang Rui is not used to getting along with the Jiang family and often comes to her place. Gradually, both of them rarely go back.
Their actions made everyone except President Jiang feel relieved.
They really don't want to get along with the two of them. For example, Mrs. Jiang will act up as long as Jiang Rui is around. She has reached the limit of her patience.
