Jiang Chengyu was some distance away from Jiang Tian.
Even though he strode over here, he was still a step too late.
He watched helplessly as Jiang Tian walked up to Xie Mingfeng.
In an instant, his face turned so ugly it was almost terrifying.
Xie Mingfeng paid no attention to anyone else. When he saw Jiang Tian walking up to him, his smile was surprisingly charming: "Assistant Jiang, what do you need me for?"
You should know that Jiang Tian is always very careful when it comes to big gatherings like this, and she never takes the initiative to contact him, for fear of causing him any trouble.
Jiang Tian deserves much credit for keeping their relationship so well hidden.
Last time Jiang Tian said goodbye to him, but this time when she saw him, she couldn't wait to get close to him. Xie Mingfeng couldn't think of any other reason—she must have regretted it and wanted to make up with him.
Xie Mingfeng never looks back after breaking up with someone, whether it was his girlfriend who initiated it or he simply got tired of her. For him, once things are broken, there's no possibility of getting back together.
Even when those people were crying their eyes out, he never gave in.
That's just the kind of person he is.
But there are always exceptions.
He had made an exception for Chen Wanyue before, and this time he was willing to make an exception for Jiang Tian.
He would agree to reconcile as long as she begged him.
After all, they've been together for six years, not six days.
He had thought about it a lot when he got back. Jiang Tian's existence seemed to be somewhat important. The thought of the two of them becoming strangers made him feel a little uncomfortable.
If she is willing to come back, Xie Mingfeng will not mention the past to her, including the matter between her and another man.
He had prepared himself mentally for a long time before he came to this realization.
If you really can't live without her, then you can only forgive her.
As Jiang Tian drew closer to him, Xie Mingfeng's smile deepened.
Jiang Tian stopped in front of him, about to speak, when Jiang Chengyu, who had finally arrived, suddenly grabbed her arm.
His tone was urgent: "Assistant Jiang, what are you still doing here? I've been looking for you for a long time. Come with me, there's some work that needs your attention."
When Xie Mingfeng saw Jiang Chengyu interrupting, the smile on his lips disappeared: "President Jiang, you are being far too rude. Assistant Jiang had something to discuss with me. I can only talk to you after I've finished my work. You're really getting more and more out of touch with reality."
Jiang Chengyu did not answer Xie Mingfeng. His eyes were dark as he looked at Jiang Tian, his attitude very clear.
Jiang Tian said politely to Jiang Chengyu, "Mr. Jiang, I do have something to discuss with Mr. Xie. Could you please give me a minute?"
Jiang Chengyu's face turned completely dark.
An expression resembling injury appeared on his face.
After standing frozen in place for a moment, Jiang Chengyu walked away in a huff.
Unfortunately, Jiang Tian didn't notice his injury at all.
Just as Xie Mingfeng was feeling smug, he saw Jiang Tian take out an invitation: "Mr. Xie, this is from Miss Liu. She's inviting you to her birthday party."
Xie Mingfeng's expression froze.
He stared intently at Jiang Tian: "...Is this what you're doing?"
"Yes, the invitations have been delivered. I'll be going now."
Xie Mingfeng gritted his teeth in anger and shouted angrily, "Stop right there!"
Jiang Tian ignored him and walked straight toward Jiang Chengyu.
Jiang Chengyu should have just left. He didn't care whether it was Jiang Tian or Li Tian. She didn't listen to him at all and didn't care about his feelings. Why should he bother to fawn over her?
But... he couldn't move his feet.
He absolutely had to see what Jiang Tian and Xie Mingfeng were talking about!
If the two of them were to engage in any improper conduct, Jiang Chengyu vowed that he would no longer keep Jiang Tian by his side.
He will definitely transfer her far away, even if the video is exposed.
But he only saw that Jiang Tian seemed to hand something to Xie Mingfeng; he didn't see anything else.
Jiang Chengyu didn't react until Jiang Tian arrived at his side.
"You...you're done talking?"
Caught completely off guard, Jiang Chengyu stammered a little.
"Yes, Miss Liu asked me to deliver an invitation to Xie Mingfeng. I agreed and came back after helping her."
Jiang Chengyu was surprised that Jiang Tian would explain to him, and his gaze deepened.
Was she afraid he would get angry?
Jiang Chengyu didn't know what was wrong with him. He seemed to enjoy taking advantage of others. He shouldn't have said it, but he couldn't help but say, "You can just refuse these kinds of things in the future. You and Xie Mingfeng broke up cleanly a long time ago, so you should have less involvement."
Jiang Tian shook her head: "I won't refuse."
"Why?" Jiang Chengyu's face turned ugly again.
Could it be that she still has feelings for Xie Mingfeng?
"The Liu family is a major client of the group. The company is currently seeking cooperation with the Liu family. In addition to our company, another large enterprise is also competing for the contract."
"I'm helping Ms. Liu to give the company more leverage. The CEO of the Liu family dotes on his daughter; if she says one word, this project is our company's. And all I have to do is help her with a small favor, so why not?"
Jiang Chengyu listened quietly as Jiang Tian explained to him, his feelings shifting from anger to comfort, and then back to some awkwardness.
Has Jiang Tian ever been this dedicated to the company before?
He couldn't remember at all.
Jiang Tian was originally a useful subordinate, and Jiang Chengyu could find someone else without her, so naturally he wouldn't pay much attention to her.
But things are different now. Their relationship has undergone a qualitative change, and his perception of her can never be the same again.
"Don't expect me to reward you for thinking so much about the company."
Jiang Chengyu held back for a long time before finally managing to utter these words.
He regretted it as soon as he said it, and tried to make amends by saying, "Well... well, let's just say you've made amends—"
Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Tian laughed.
She said to Jiang Chengyu, "President, this is what I should do. It's an honor to be your employee. This was just a small favor, and I'm happy that it brought you benefits."
"After all, I made a big mistake before, so of course I have to work harder to earn the right to be by your side."
Jiang Chengyu had some difficulty breathing: "So you mean... you did this for me?"
"For your sake, and for the company's sake."
Jiang Chengyu only heard the first three words.
...For him.
For him!
Jiang Chengyu's expression instantly became extremely complicated!
For a moment he didn't know how to react, and he actually fled in panic.
Jiang Chengyu did not have any further communication with Jiang Tian that day.
After returning home, he couldn't sleep.
He had previously thought that night was a conspiracy, but Jiang Tian's behavior made him uncertain.
Jiang Tian is very intelligent. If she wanted to find something to use against him, she would have plenty of ways to do so. There's no need for her to drag herself into it.
She must have other reasons.
Thinking back to that night when he knew nothing, Jiang Tian gently guided him and helped him through the most difficult and confusing period, which allowed him to thrive later on...
Then I thought about how she frankly admitted tonight that she approached Xie Mingfeng because of him...
Jiang Chengyu's mind was in turmoil, in complete chaos.
