At that time, Yun Jing was like a bowstring stretched to its limit; he would seize any opportunity, no matter how small.
He couldn't stand the presence of fat, greasy men. Whenever they looked at him with lustful eyes, he would vomit in the middle of the night.
Therefore, it's better to deal with Jiang Tian than to deal with them.
In her presence, he felt utterly inferior.
Jiang Tian sought him out for only one purpose: to become her shield.
Duan Muqing is a fanatic; if he goes mad, the Jiang family might not be able to withstand him.
However, if Jiang Tian had a boyfriend in name only, due to societal pressures, at least Duan Muqing's family would restrain him.
In that way, as time goes by, the impact on Jiang Tian will become smaller and smaller.
In other people's eyes, Jiang Tian was always a dignified lady.
Only Yun Jing knew how aloof and unrestrained Jiang Tian was when, on that cold night, wearing a trench coat and walking with elegant steps, she slowly approached him and discussed cooperation with him in a cold and rational tone.
She doesn't look like the person others see at all.
Yun Jing did not receive the same high-quality resources and support as his other siblings, but that does not mean he did not know some people in high society.
Jiang Tian has always been a prominent figure.
In other people's eyes, she was always perfect, except that she was unlucky in love and was cheated on twice.
However, upon seeing Jiang Tian's sharp eyes, Yun Jing realized that everyone is actually putting on a facade.
After spending a few days with her, Yun Jing realized that Jiang Tian didn't like to put on airs in front of him.
She was real in his presence.
"What are you thinking about?" Jiang Tian suddenly asked.
"I think he's not just playing around; he might actually like you."
Duan Muqing's madness and unbearable pain clearly showed that he had indeed developed feelings for Jiang Tian.
Jiang Tian smiled gently: "But I don't like him. He was just acting from beginning to end."
Yun Jing's eyes widened.
He had naturally heard some of the love stories between the two, in which Jiang Tian was portrayed as a devoted lover.
Are you surprised?
Yun Jing nodded truthfully.
He hadn't expected her to admit so readily that she was faking it.
Yun Jing: "I thought someone of your status could be completely themselves, so why... why are you pretending?"
“Come here and sit next to me,” Jiang Tian said.
Yun Jing hesitated for a moment, but still went over.
In the contract they signed, he was positioned as a kept woman.
He couldn't refuse Jiang Tian's needs, not even... sex.
"The Jiang family is nothing special except for their daughters marrying well. Our family looks glamorous, but my father is a gambler, and my mother's only pride is raising her daughters to be like ladies from ancient noble families, excelling in the three obediences and four virtues."
"When I opened a coffee shop, people thought I was just playing around with small money, but they didn't know that it was because the funds my family gave me were only enough to open one coffee shop."
Yun Jing's eyes widened even more.
Jiang Tian said calmly, "Why would I pretend? Naturally, it's because I need to maintain my network and I need to get what I want by pretending."
"To others, I am indifferent to fame and fortune, but you have already seen my ambition."
“At first, I set my sights on Zhou Yuncheng. His parents liked me very much. By marrying him, I would have a considerable amount of initial capital to start the business I wanted to build.”
"But he's terrible."
"Soon after, Duan Muqing extended an olive branch to me. Compared to the Zhou family, Duan Muqing, who had not yet taken over the company, was easier to control, so I put my heart into it again."
Yun Jing was still puzzled: "Then you must have achieved your goal. He is very infatuated with you."
Jiang Tian smiled dismissively: "I once told Duan Muqing that I don't like unclean men. He lied to me, so our relationship is completely over."
Yun Jing couldn't help but worry for her: "So where do you plan to find the money to start your business?"
Jiang Tian smiled and said, "You'll find out later."
Unable to resist ruffling his hair, Jiang Tian said, "Alright, you don't need to worry so much about a child. Just remember one thing: I saved you, and you have to repay me. You are pure, untouched by anything, body or soul, which is why I'm willing to invest in you. Don't do anything that would upset your sister in the future."
“If you follow in the footsteps of the first two people, I don’t know what I’ll do.”
Yun Jing shook her head: "I can't."
This woman is a man-eating flower, yet he cannot help but be attracted to her.
The more dangerous something is, the more irresistible it is to approach.
Jiang Tian smiled again: "Tonight, go to the H Hotel and book a room."
