To Li Xiu's surprise, Jiang Tian did not agree.
He clearly saw Jiang Tian's eyes light up after he said he would help her.
However, she quickly reverted to her previous aloof expression.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Li, you don’t need to get involved in this matter. We’re complete strangers, so I’ll handle it myself.”
Jiang Tian subconsciously distanced herself from him.
Li Xiu knew Jiang Tian's concerns.
In a sense, he was the same.
I don't want to owe anyone a favor.
But Jiang Tian was doing this with the intention of destroying everything, and Li Xiu found it difficult to turn a blind eye.
Li Xiu didn't want to see Jiang Tian seek revenge, especially since it would drag him down with her.
A perfect revenge should have resulted in an unscathed retreat.
Looking at Jiang Tian, a thoughtful look flashed in Li Xiu's eyes.
He had to come up with a perfect solution that would allow Jiang Tian to participate without causing any misunderstandings.
How about an equivalent exchange?
Li Xiu remained silent for a moment before speaking.
Jiang Tian was somewhat puzzled: "Equivalent exchange? I have nothing, so what can I exchange for?"
"Due to social obligations, I need a long-term female companion to avoid interference from other men. Your appearance fits the bill, and we first met in front of business partners. It's perfectly reasonable for me to keep you by my side through this channel."
Li Xiu slowly explained the reasons to Jiang Tian.
After he finished speaking, Jiang Tian remained silent for a long time.
"Is Mr. Li pitying me?"
A long time passed before her voice rang out.
Li Xiu shook his head: "It's not pity, it's an obsession with correcting imperfections."
The two of them fell silent again.
Li Xiu rarely talks so much to one person, and he doesn't know why he cares so much about Jiang Tian.
"I am already thirty-one years old and come from a humble background. I am not suitable to be your companion. Otherwise, you should think of another way to exchange partners."
Hearing that Jiang Tian had relented, Li Xiu actually felt a sense of relief.
As for her suggestion, Li Xiu told her truthfully, "There's no need. Your identity is very suitable. If others see me getting involved with someone..., they won't bother me too much."
Li Xiu was previously ignored, but since he took over the Li family, he has become a hot commodity.
After all, many people thought he was mentally ill before, but seeing that he became the final winner, they had no choice but to turn back.
Compared to interests, face is not that important.
Li Xiu wasn't interested in romantic relationships, and Jiang Tian needed a reason for him to help her, so this reason was perfect.
Li Xiu looked at her and said, "You can think about it. If you insist on going down that path, you might as well make an equal exchange with me."
Jiang Tian stood there, speechless for a long time.
I don't know how much time has passed—
"I'm willing to make the exchange, thank you Mr. Li."
Jiang Tian agreed.
Having received her consent, Li Xiu nodded: "Okay, then... come back to the apartment we used to live in with me today, I'll take care of everything else."
Jiang Tian and that person were not of equal status, but Li Xiu was not.
He had a million ways to get rid of Jiang Tian's enemy without leaving a trace.
Jiang Tian didn't hesitate and quietly followed behind Li Xiu.
Seeing that Li Xiu was about to take Jiang Tian away, the manager thought to himself that Jiang Tian really had some ability. No wonder she insisted on choosing the private room that President Li had.
However, after Jiang Tian left, the manager thought he should inform the boss.
Everyone could see that the boss had a crush on Jiang Tian.
Jiang Tian was beautiful and looked delicate. Compared to those who had adapted to this environment, she possessed a unique aloofness.
In this kind of environment, customers actually prefer people who don't seem to be in this line of work.
However, she was truly lucky; she hooked up with Li Xiu and instantly rose to prominence.
While the manager was checking Jiang Tian's termination agreement with Li Xiu's lawyer, he was thinking to himself.
"You can stay here. I'll contact you in advance if there are any dinner engagements or other events that require your presence."
Li Xiu led Jiang Tian into the apartment and gave her some instructions.
He realized that he hadn't regretted it for a moment until he led Jiang Tian inside.
You should know that he used to hate troublesome people the most.
Jiang Tian bowed deeply to Li Xiu: "Thank you for taking me in, Mr. Li."
Li Xiu didn't say anything.
He objectively told Jiang Tian, "I will deal with those people, but it will take some time. If they contact you, just give them the runaround for now."
"good."
Li Xiu realized that he seemed to have run out of things to say.
He was originally a quiet person, but Jiang Tian didn't talk much either, especially in daily communication.
"...Then I'll be going now."
"good."
After Li Xiu left, he returned to his villa and touched his heart, feeling that something was off about him.
Why did he help Jiang Tian? Why did he look forward to talking to her more? And why... was he still thinking about her even after returning to the villa?
For the first time, Li Xiu couldn't see through his heart.
He stopped thinking about those secret thoughts and focused on helping Jiang Tian with her affairs.
That person must have some connections to be able to run a place like that, but he's definitely not clean.
Li Xiu only needs to find an opportunity to deliver the evidence to those who can see it.
This is not difficult.
A month had passed by the time that person was imprisoned.
Li Xiu told Jiang Tian the truth about how he had done it and how many years the other person had been sentenced to.
Unsurprisingly, Li Xiu received two words again this time.
"Thanks."
Li Xiu stared at those two characters for several seconds. Aside from the cold, square characters, he was actually more interested in seeing Jiang Tian's expression.
Soon, Li Xiu found Jiang Tian; she needed to accompany him to a wedding banquet.
