"I only want Qin Wan!!"
“I can tell you don’t like her. In that case, why not grant my wish and give her back to me?”
"As long as you give her back to me, I can help you get any woman you want and satisfy your desires."
"I can provide you with all the help the Han family can offer."
Upon hearing Han Sinian's words, Xie Ming and Jiang Nanyu couldn't help but glance at Jiang Yan.
Unfortunately, Jiang Yan remained calm, seemingly uninterested in Han Sinian's suggestion.
Seeing this, Jiang Nanyu narrowed his eyes, and his opinion of Jiang Yan gradually changed.
wrong.
Their understanding of Jiang Yan is absolutely wrong!
A remote mountain village could not have nurtured Jiang Yan's calm and composed demeanor.
Oh, right...
Xie Ming!
Qin Wan mentioned that Xie Ming met Jiang Yan when he returned to his hometown to visit the Xie family patriarch and matriarch.
How could a family that could associate with the Xie family patriarch and matriarch be an ordinary farmer?
Back then, after Jiang Yan was switched at birth, what kind of family was he sold to?
What kind of family could make Jiang Yan remain unmoved after Han Sinian offered such promises and conditions?
And Han Sinian...
Does he know something? Otherwise, why would someone as shrewd and calculating as him offer such a desperate condition, just to get Jiang Yan to return Qin Wan to him?
What made Han Sinian think that Jiang Yan could steal Qin Wan away?
What made Han Sinian feel that he couldn't compete with Jiang Yan?
After a moment of reflection, Jiang Nanyu suddenly felt a strong sense of wariness towards Jiang Yan.
Thinking of his previous self-righteous and confident demeanor, Jiang Nanyu felt like a clown.
Jiang Yan......
No matter your background, I will never give up the Jiang family to you.
As sons of the Jiang family, even though I am an illegitimate child, I was raised by the Jiang family since childhood, and they instilled in me the idea of inheriting the Jiang family.
After more than 20 years of ideological indoctrination, I have long been brainwashed by them. In my mind, the Jiang family belongs to my Jiangnan Island.
Qin Wan, I can choose not to compete with you...
But I will never give up the Jiang family!
"Jiang Yan, I have no intention of being your enemy, so why are you going against me for the sake of Qin Wan, whom I've only known for a few days?"
"Besides, I just love her and want to have her. I won't hurt her, so why don't you just grant us your wish?"
Seeing that Jiang Yan remained silent for a long time, Han Sinian assumed that he was weighing the pros and cons. While inwardly mocking and despising these men for their hypocrisy, he continued to patiently guide him.
As he spoke, Han Sinian's gaze involuntarily drifted toward Qin Wan.
See...
This is the man you like.
Whether it's Jiangnan Island or Jiangyan, they're nothing special.
For the sake of so-called interests and selfish desires, they are willing to abandon you and betray you.
Qin Wan, only I truly love you.
just me……
Although she didn't have mind-reading abilities, Han Sinian's madness was clearly written on his face.
Therefore, after making eye contact for less than a second, Qin Wan decisively looked away and hid behind Jiang Yan.
Sensing her unease, Jiang Yan snapped out of her daze and squinted at Han Sinian.
“I did consider collaborating with you before.”
"But now, I've changed my mind."
"Because I've realized that with someone like you around, the Han family is nothing special."
"If I, Jiang Yan, need anything, plenty of people are willing to help me. One more or one less makes no difference."
"Han Sinian, don't take yourself too seriously."
At this point, Jiang Yan paused, then as if he remembered something, he quietly grasped Qin Wan's hand that was holding his clothes.
"Han Sinian, don't forget, it was me who helped you return from China."
"If I have the ability to get someone to bring you back, I also have the ability to send you back intact."
Upon hearing this, Han Sinian stiffened, his gaze fixed on Jiang Yan, his eyes blazing with undisguised malice.
"Jiang Yan, you've gone too far!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan curled his lips into a cold smile and scoffed, "So what if I bully you?"
Han Sinian: "!!!"
Seeing Han Sinian's trembling body, Xie Ming quickly hugged him from behind and forcibly dragged him out.
"calm!"
"Han Sinian, don't do anything rash, and don't act impulsively!"
"Think about it from another perspective. A moment of patience brings peace, and a wise man doesn't suffer losses in front of him, right?"
"Besides, if you stay in the country, you'll at least have a chance to see Qin Wan and attend various banquets to have a chance encounter with her."
"Although it seems that Qin Wan has fallen for Jiang Yan, Jiang Yan hasn't fallen for her yet."
"If you stay in the country, you still have a chance to turn your life around and rise to the top."
"But if you don't choose to endure it, Jiang Yan will arrange for you to be sent abroad immediately, and then you will really have no chance at all."
"You can only watch helplessly as Qin Wan and Jiang Yan become more and more familiar with each other..."
"Even if they are ultimately not meant to be, you are abroad and cannot come back. What if other men appear in Qin Wan's life?"
Under Xie Ming's persuasion, Han Sinian's originally agitated emotions actually calmed down in a strange way.
Even as Xie Ming pulled him away from Qin Wan and Jiang Yan, his gaze remained fixed on Qin Wan, lingering with reluctance.
Seeing this, Qin Wan stopped paying attention to him and turned her attention back to Jiang Yan, a hint of curiosity and inquiry appearing in her eyes.
"You..." Qin Wan asked hesitantly, "Did you help Han Sinian return to China?"
Upon hearing this, a hint of guilt appeared in Jiang Yan's eyes. "I'm sorry, I didn't know you back then. I never expected it would cause you so much trouble."
He wasn't a good person, but he never treated others maliciously either.
Choosing to help Han Sinian was also out of personal motives.
He had just returned to Kyoto and needed to investigate some events from back then. The Han family's businesses involved marketing, private detective work, and other connections.
With the help of the Han family, investigating some of the events from back then will save him a lot of effort.
"It's nothing," Qin Wan waved her hand, indicating that she didn't care.
"Besides, didn't you just chase him away for me?"
"I'm already very grateful that you didn't agree to Han Sinian's tempting offer."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan remained silent, his complex gaze fixed intently on Qin Wan.
She thought of how she stood in front of Han Sinian without hesitation when he tried to use violence.
Just now, when Han Sinian looked at her, she subconsciously looked away and hid behind him.
Judging from her reaction at the time, she probably avoided, resisted, and even had some fear or apprehension towards Han Sinian...
Even so, in that critical moment, she did not hesitate or waver in the slightest...
Does she... really like him that much?
A faint look of bewilderment appeared in Jiang Yan's eyes.
From childhood to adulthood, he has never lacked the affection and admiration of girls because of his appearance.
But Qin Wan was the first girl he had ever truly come into contact with...
Because of the relationship between the two families and their engagement, he was still unable to maintain an absolute distance from Qin Wan or completely sever ties with her.
But he found that as he got to know her better, he seemed to be less and less averse to Qin Wan's affections...
From initial resistance, to later indifference, and now to being moved...
I subconsciously wanted to know...
