Chapter 185 I Can't Give Up On You
He Yanting frowned slightly: "What is there for me to be reluctant about?"
Jiang Xu smiled and said, "Isn't Jiang Xueruo your good sister?"
"Soft!"
He Yanting looked helpless. "That was a few years ago. I know what she did to you before, but I haven't contacted her in the past four years."
"Oh, really? Then you are amazing."
Jiang Xu teased lightly.
He Yanting pursed his lips and hugged her tightly in his arms, his tone full of guilt: "I'm sorry, I was wrong before. I shouldn't have transferred my feelings for Si Tian to an unrelated person, especially I shouldn't have ignored the fact that she hurt you so many times."
As he spoke, he kissed the top of Jiang Xu's head repeatedly.
"After reading your diary, I realized how much you suffered in those years. I'm a bastard, and you deserve to hate me and mock me."
He Yanting kept talking, and his voice began to choke.
"But...Ruanruan, I really want to make up for everything. I know it's hard, but I... I really can't give up on you. I can't give up. I can't..."
The more he spoke, the more incoherent he became, chattering away like a raving.
After a long time, he finally calmed down.
He looked at Jiang Xu calmly with his dark eyes. "I'll have someone investigate the Song Family Gallery matter as well. I'll tell you as soon as I have any news."
Jiang Xu knew that the combined investigative abilities of her and Xia Yu were less than one-tenth of He Yanting's.
"Yes, thank you."
She didn't refuse.
The car fell silent again. Jiang Xu was about to get up and return to the driver's seat when his cell phone suddenly rang.
It’s Tuanbao’s video call.
She pressed the answer button, and the next second, a soft and cute face appeared on the screen.
"Tuanbao."
Seeing her son, Jiang Xu was genuinely happy, and even her voice became much gentler.
Tuanbao frowned and said, "Did you forget to video chat with me?"
"No, Mom is just busy."
Jiang Xu explained with a smile.
Tuanbao looked at the screen, his face full of confusion: "Where are you?"
"I am here--"
Jiang Xu was embarrassed. Could it be that she was lying in He Yanting's arms?
"Baby, Mommy is in the lab."
Tell a white lie.
Unexpectedly, the next second, He Yanting couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Jiang Xu immediately glared at him and covered his mouth.
"What was that sound just now?"
Tuanbao asked curiously.
Jiang Xu said: "My colleague brought the dog here."
"oh."
Tuanbao nodded and was silent for a while, as if hesitating about something.
Jiang Xu asked, "What's wrong? What do you want to say?"
Tuanbao mustered up the courage to say, "I heard An'an say today that she overheard her parents talking and they said my dad was going to marry another aunt. Is that true?"
Jiang Xu didn't know how to answer.
But she knew that Tuanbao would be very sad.
Sure enough, before he could get her answer, Tuanbao's eyes started to turn red little by little.
"Dad is a bad guy. How could he marry anyone else? He can only marry you. I will never talk to him again. I don't want him to be my dad!"
Jiang Xu was about to comfort him when her phone was suddenly snatched away by He Yanting.
The camera turned, and He Yanting said coldly to the screen: "You little bastard, I raised you with all my heart, and now you don't acknowledge me as your father?"
Tuanbao's eyes widened in surprise: "Dad?"
He Yanting sneered: "Why are you calling me dad? Aren't you going to ignore me anymore?"
Tuanbao curled his lips.
Jiang Xu patted He Yanting and said, "Talk to your son properly."
He Yanting said helplessly: "You can't even make a joke."
He moved the phone further away so that both of them could be captured in the camera.
"Did you see clearly? I'm with your mother."
"Will you marry another aunt?"
Tuanbao asked with a droopy face.
He Yanting sighed and hugged Jiang Xu tightly with one hand. "I'm telling you, it won't happen, but this matter is complicated. Anyway, don't worry about it, and don't listen to other people's nonsense."
Tuanbao hesitated for a moment and looked at Jiang Xu: "Really?"
Jiang Xu nodded: "Yeah."
He finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, but he tried hard to hold it back.
He Yanting scolded, "If you want to laugh, just laugh. It's so uncomfortable to hold it in."
Aunt Lin's voice came from the side, urging Tuanbao that it was time to go to bed.
"goodbye."
Tuanbao snorted and hung up the video.
He Yanting returned the phone to Jiang Xu. Jiang Xu returned to the driver's seat and was about to start the car when He Yanting's phone rang.
The call was from Gao Cheng, saying there was an impromptu international meeting.
"Well... ask the driver to drive the car over here."
After a while, a Bentley drove up from behind.
"There's a meeting at the company. I'll go there first."
After saying that, he looked at Jiang Xu deeply, opened the car door and got out.
Jiang Xu watched him get into the car through the rearview mirror before starting the car. He Yanting's car followed her for a while, and the two cars separated after they drove out of this sparsely populated street.
—
Late at night, a BMW was parked on the side of the road.
"You damn girl, the news said that one of your paintings sold for tens of millions, and you're pretending to be broke in front of me?"
Lin Baiying's vicious curses came through the phone.
Jiang Xueruo's face was cold: "I said I have no money, that's it. I showed you the balance on my bank card, what else do you want?"
"You just don't want to spend money on me, right? You unfilial daughter, do you know how sad it is for me to serve that bitch every day? Why don't you have a son? If I had a son, would I still have to endure this humiliation?"
Lin Baiying complained through gritted teeth, "Giving birth to you is worse than giving birth to a piece of barbecued pork. You're so useless!"
Jiang Xueruo hung up the phone angrily.
She took a few deep breaths and made a call. A man's voice came from the other end: "Hello?"
"Mr. Song, I'd like to ask when the next auction will be held?"
Jiang Xueruo asked with a smile.
Song Mingqiang's tone was a little impatient: "The higher-ups are keeping a close eye on it lately, so we're not planning to auction it for now. Just wait for the news."
Jiang Xueruo said, "Then can you give me an advance of one million? Also, I've taken on a huge risk by transferring your assets, so I'd like to increase my share by one percent in the future."
Song Mingqiang sneered, "Jiang Xueruo, do you really think you're worthless? If it weren't for the Song family, no one would want those tattered paintings of yours even as toilet paper."
"You, be obedient and don't have any bad thoughts, otherwise I guarantee you will regret it."
After saying that, he hung up the phone without waiting for Jiang Xueruo to answer.
Jiang Xueruo threw the phone away and cursed a few words.
Then he looked at his face in the rearview mirror. This time the repair was done very well, and it was getting closer to Jiang Xu.
"If she hadn't come back suddenly, Brother Yan Ting would definitely like me."
Her eyes gradually turned sinister. "She shouldn't have come back. She ruined all my hard work over the years."
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and she drove to the bar.
I was sitting at the bar having a few drinks when I suddenly saw an acquaintance.
She walked over and greeted him: "Chen Rouer, do you remember me?"
When Chen Rouer saw her face, she was first extremely surprised, and then her whole face became distorted: "Jiang Xu!"
"No, I'm Xue Ruo."
Jiang Xueruo shook her head.
Chen Rouer was stunned for a moment, then excitedly grabbed her hand: "You really are Xue Ruo. I heard you became a great painter!"
Jiang Xueruo smiled slightly and did not answer directly. Instead, she asked, "Are you here to play?"
Chen Rouer curled her lips: "I work here."
At this point, she gritted her teeth and said, "It's all that bitch Jiang Xu's fault. If she hadn't exposed me for skipping classes and failing my exams, I wouldn't have dropped out of school, my family wouldn't have cut ties with me, and I wouldn't have ended up like this!"
As he spoke, someone nearby whistled towards them.
Chen Rouer immediately smiled coquettishly and waved over there: "Don't worry, Brother Xiong, I'll be right over!"
She stood up, swaying her waist in an artificial manner, and walked over to drink with the group of people.
Jiang Xueruo watched as she was molested and forced to drink alcohol.
An hour later, they finally let Chen Rouer leave. Chen Rouer, disheveled, walked up to Jiang Xueruo with drunken steps.
Jiang Xueruo said, "Jiang Xu is back."
Chen Rouer gritted her teeth and said, "That bitch, I pray every day that she meets with misfortune, preferably a fate worse than death!"
Jiang Xueruo said calmly, "No, she's doing fine."
This made Chen Rouer even more angry: "If she didn't have Mr. He's support, I would definitely find someone to teach her a lesson!"
Jiang Xueruo took a sip of wine and said casually, "Don't you know? The news said that He Yanting is getting engaged to Song Mingyue."
Chen Rouer's eyes lit up: "Does that mean he doesn't want Jiang Xu anymore?"
Jiang Xueruo sighed, "That's probably the case. After all, how can she compare to Song Mingyue's family background? Even if something happens to her, He Yanting won't interfere for the sake of Song Mingyue's face."
"So... my chance for revenge has come!"
Chen Rouer was extremely happy, her eyes rolling around. "Over the years, I've met quite a few underworld bosses. Any one of them could completely destroy that bitch!"
Jiang Xueruo said calmly, "Rou'er, this is your business. It's not convenient for me to give you any advice."
After a pause, she continued, "If you go back to University A, you might run into Jiang Xu. She currently works at the Lyle Group and often goes in and out of Laboratory Building No. 3 at University A."
After she finished speaking, she looked at the time and said, "It's getting late. I'm leaving first."
After she left, Chen Rouer immediately took out her phone and said coquettishly, "Brother Qiu, are you free tonight? I'll go accompany you. I want to ask you for a favor..."
After the call, she sneered: "Jiang Xu, you owe me, I will make you pay double!"
