He walked up to Jiang Tian, and Zhou Jiaqi and Luo Sihe looked very wary, as if they were afraid he would do something to her.
“I’ve found your partner. He will return the money he embezzled within a month.”
After calming down for a moment, Shen Xingyun spoke.
They didn't care about the cameras or pay attention to anyone else.
Jiang Tian looked straight at him.
The two looked at each other for a few seconds, then Jiang Tian lowered her eyes and said, "Let's talk somewhere else."
It was another private conversation.
The audience said they've gotten used to it.
The only thing they weren't used to was seeing Shen Xingyun finally reveal his domineering CEO side.
Although his profession is CEO, people have always known him as someone who is always dressed in a suit and tie, has a charming demeanor, and is very rich.
He couldn't possibly do anything for the other guests on the show.
But what he said today clearly showed his care for Jiang Tian.
If Jiang Tian hadn't told them, they wouldn't have known she owned a restaurant, let alone that she had been cheated by her business partner.
They only found out after she told them.
But Shen Xingyun had already found her business partner, so she must have known about it a long time ago.
They do things quietly and efficiently, and once they start, they get it done.
He truly lives up to his reputation as a domineering CEO.
So what are they going to talk about?
Many people expressed their curiosity.
Jiang Tian and Shen Xingyun walked to the back garden and found a corner without cameras.
Looking at his face, Jiang Tian said, "I know my partner's character best. He won't pay me back unless someone else does."
"Shen Xingyun, you don't need to go to this lengths for me."
“Whether it’s necessary or not is not for you to define.” Shen Xingyun did not show any panic at being exposed for lying.
“Our relationship ended years ago, so why do you keep bothering me?”
A hint of weariness appeared in Jiang Tian's eyes.
Shen Xingyun just stared at her intently: "Are you tired?"
Jiang Tian was taken aback.
"Jiang Tian, are you tired? From the start of the show's recording until now, you only ever show your best side to others, without even changing the curve of your smile. It's like you're a perfect mannequin. Aren't you tired?"
"Do you want to get married because you want to suppress yourself for the rest of your life? If you can only win other people's favor by being charming and shrewd, then you might as well marry me. Marry me. I've seen your bad temper before, and I know what you're like now. The two of us are more suitable for each other than anyone else."
Shen Xingyun lost his patience.
He watched other people approach her time and time again, yet he had no legitimate reason to stop it all from happening. For him, this was a cruel torture that was difficult to suppress with reason.
Every time he saw someone else with her, an uncontrollable anxiety would surge in his heart.
He watched the entire live broadcast of the program while at the company.
Although the production team blocked all of their accounts, the staff knew that as long as the guests wanted to find loopholes, there were plenty of ways to find an entry point into the live broadcast room.
It's not difficult to log in using any other account.
Therefore, he could see clearly what Jiang Tian was doing with those two men all day.
He remembered every moment: her smile by the sea, the naturalness with which she cooked for the two of them.
But he could tell that Jiang Tian was trying her best to hide herself.
She seems to be trying to create a perfect persona, so that no one can find any flaws in her.
But...does she know? There are plenty of people on the internet who hate her and even use all sorts of vicious language to insult her.
He has already asked many people to suppress those negative comments, but there are always some malicious people who can't stand her.
So what if it's perfect? Perfection itself is a form of imperfection.
When he saw Jiang Tian's expression, he regretted it.
She seemed to have suffered a severe blow; her face was extremely pale.
Tears welled in her eyes, yet she forced a smile at him: "President Shen, what can I do if I don't smile? Am I supposed to cry? You know how difficult it is for someone like me, from the bottom of society, to settle down in this city. Yes, I am pretending, hiding all my emotions, but is that wrong? Did I offend you? Why do you have to humiliate me? Does humiliation bring you pleasure—"
Before she could finish speaking, Shen Xingyun grabbed her wrist.
Shen Xingyun gritted his teeth: "Can't you see how I feel about you? I feel sorry for you, and I don't want you to continue torturing yourself on this show. It's obvious that others are being malicious, but you're pretending not to know. How long are you going to endure this!"
"Let me go!" Jiang Tian's eyes burned with anger.
He thought she was quite pretty.
At least there's genuine emotion in their eyes.
"Be with me, I'll marry you, and we'll talk about other things after we get our marriage certificate."
Shen Xingyun slowly announced his decision.
"No."
Jiang Tian was still struggling: "I will not marry you. You have never respected me. You always look at me with condescending eyes. Why should I be with you and endure humiliation!"
"Look down on you? If I looked down on you, I wouldn't have given you a second glance, let alone tried to help you and do things for you time and time again. My upbringing may have been flawed, and I couldn't treat everyone equally, but I have never looked down on you!"
Driven to anger by her actions, Shen Xingyun held her even tighter.
He saw Jiang Tian start to cry, so he reached out to wipe away her tears, showing no intention of letting her go.
"You're such a fake." Jiang Tian finally stopped crying and delivered her verdict on him. "You're too far removed from my world. I don't need to get entangled with you. You moved on years ago. You clearly developed feelings for me on the show, yet you pretended to be some kind of acquaintance. Do you even know me?"
Shen Xingyun admitted, "Yes, we have indeed not seen each other for several years, but I have been busy with my career these past few years and have not been with any other women. We can start over."
It's an undeniable fact that his feelings for Jiang Tian developed within the production team.
Regardless of the facts, when he encountered the opportunity, he wanted it.
"Let me go, let's talk this out."
The two drew closer and closer, and Jiang Tian tried to persuade Shen Xingyun to stay.
Shen Xingyun tightened his grip, looking down at Jiang Tian: "So, what do you think? Why are you unwilling?"
"Being with you makes me miserable. People without resources are bullied everywhere. I don't want to live the life of a caged bird. Didn't you already know that?"
“I respect you and I will respect your career. I will support you if you want to open a shop or a company. You only need to do one thing, which is to accept my pursuit.”
"So what if you agreed? We can't get married. Have you forgotten who I am, or who you are?"
"Agree first, then we'll talk." Shen Xingyun, impatient with her evasive talk, brought up the core issue again.
