Chapter 19 I Don't Want to Get Married
Jiang Xu rubbed her lips, which had turned red from being kissed, and left the bedroom angrily.
He Yanting was pushed down on the bed.
He rested one hand on the mattress and laughed wildly.
After Jiang Xu left, he made a phone call: "We can start arranging cooperation with Xia Corporation. Remember, keep the hook hidden."
"Yes, Mr. He."
Gao Cheng's tone was very respectful.
After hanging up the phone, He Yanting hissed and looked at his leather shoes.
The handmade black leather shoes were covered with footprints, all of which were the work of the woman just now.
She stepped on it really hard and he couldn't feel his toes.
"I always feel that she is different from before. Could it be..."
He held his forehead and talked to himself. There was an undercurrent like an abyss in the depths of his black eyes. It was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry, making him unpredictable.
Jiang Xu thought about going to the study to say goodbye to the two old people.
Just as I walked to the door and was about to knock, I heard Mrs. He say:
"The share transfer documents can be prepared. Since Yan Ting agreed to get married, she must want to get the shares as soon as possible. Those guys on the board of directors are not easy to deal with."
Jiang Xu pursed her lips.
It seems that the instigator of pushing for the marriage was He Yanting.
Of course, not to marry her, but for the shares.
As for why He Yanting didn't urge marriage for the sake of shares in his previous life, but did so this time, Jiang Xu was too lazy to think about it.
After a few seconds, she knocked on the door.
"Grandpa, grandma, I won't stay here today. I'm going back first."
Mrs. He was a little reluctant: "It's not easy for you to come here, why don't you stay for two more days."
Jiang Xu smiled gently: "I made an appointment with a friend."
Mrs. He nodded. "I didn't consider you. Young people like to hang out with friends on weekends. I'll ask the driver to take you there."
"Well, goodbye, grandpa and grandma."
Jiang Xu turned and left.
She felt something and subconsciously looked up, meeting He Yanting's dark eyes.
He stood by the railing on the second floor, a cigarette between his fingertips, staring at her with his deep, narrow eyes, as if thinking about something.
Jiang Xu withdrew his gaze, turned around and walked out.
As soon as I reached the door, He Chengjun came towards me.
He walked while talking on the phone: "Don't worry, I only have this one sister, and I watch her more closely than anything else. She has never been in a relationship before."
As he was speaking, he saw Jiang Xu and was stunned at first, then his face darkened slightly.
Just as I was about to say something, I suddenly felt two sharp gazes.
He Chengjun looked up and met the murderous gaze of He Yanting on the second floor.
He quickly swallowed Yin Yang's words and smiled awkwardly at Jiang Xu.
Jiang Xu rolled his eyes at him and left.
He Chengjun cursed in his heart. He and Jiang Xu had been at odds since childhood. Last time, he wanted to tease and humiliate her, but he didn't expect to be caught by He Yanting.
Thinking of this, He Chengjun felt a little nervous.
He Yanting put his hands in his pockets and walked down the stairs. He Chengjun looked a little awed: "Brother."
He Yanting looked at him indifferently: "What do you think of Jiang Xu?"
"No, of course not."
He Chengjun broke out in a cold sweat.
In fact, like many people in the He family, he disdained He Yanting's identity as an illegitimate child, but He Yanting's methods were too powerful, and those who offended him would not end well.
He Chengjun didn't dare to take the risk.
"That's good. You'd better remember what I said last time, otherwise don't blame me for not considering my relatives."
He Yanting's tone was cold.
He Chengjun nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I remember it."
"Repeat what I said."
He Yanting said coldly.
He Chengjun trembled and said, "You...you said that if it happens again, you'll break my legs. Don't worry, it won't happen. I was drunk last time and my mind wasn't clear."
He Yanting didn't say anything, but stared at him for a long time, until his legs trembled, then he walked away with his long legs.
He Chengjun leaned against the wall, his face pale.
I used to hear people say that He Yanting’s temper could be as bad as the King of Hell, and now he really believed it. No wonder he was able to stabilize the giant Shengyu Group so quickly.
Jiang Xu went home in Mrs. He's special car.
On the way, she was casually browsing her phone and suddenly saw Jiang Xueruo's circle of friends.
She posted a photo of herself sitting on the floor of her apartment with a lot of food on the coffee table.
The caption reads: Thank you to someone for sending me the keys in the middle of the night and feeding me so many midnight snacks /heart/
In the lower left corner of the photo, a man's hand is revealed.
The classic Patek Philippe men's watch on his wrist is particularly eye-catching.
There was no doubt that it was He Yanting's hand. Even if he was not wearing a watch, Jiang Xu could recognize it.
Once upon a time, that hand would gently hold her cheek, wipe away her tears tenderly, or use the warmth of its palm to ease her pain during her menstrual period.
Jiang Xu finally understood why Jiang Xuruo wanted to add her on WeChat.
To show off, to flaunt.
There was no emotion on her face, and she casually set Jiang Xueruo to not view her circle of friends.
After returning home, Jiang Xu called Xia Yulin.
As soon as the phone was connected, her doting voice came clearly: "Baby!"
"Mom~~"
Jiang Xu called out softly.
Xia Yulin knew Jiang Xu very well. Just by hearing this sound, she knew something was wrong: "Who made us Ruanruan feel wronged?"
Jiang Xu sniffed: "No."
"Little girl, you came out of your mother's belly. As soon as I heard your voice, I knew you were in a bad mood. Tell me quickly."
Jiang Xu mustered up her courage and said, "Mom, I don't want to get married."
"Why? Haven't you always been looking forward to marrying him? Did you have a fight?"
Xia Yulin said in surprise.
Jiang Xu said softly, "No, I'm still young and don't want to get married too early. I plan to pursue a master's degree."
Xia Yulin paused for a few seconds, and Jiang Xu thought she was going to scold her for being ignorant.
Unexpectedly, Xia Yulin said happily: "That's great, Mom supports you. I will tell the He family later that there is no rush for the wedding."
Jiang Xu whispered, "But I'm afraid I won't pass the exam. I haven't studied for almost a year."
Xia Yulin said proudly: "My daughter is so smart, how could she fail the exam? As long as you are focused enough, there is nothing you can't do."
With her mother’s support, Jiang Xu gained more confidence.
"Well, I will study hard."
"Come on, baby. If you have any needs, tell me right away. I will definitely satisfy you."
Jiang Xu said coquettishly: "I'm not a three-year-old child."
Xia Yulin smiled gently: "But our Ruanruan is only 23 years old. In my mother's eyes, she is still a cute little baby."
Jiang Xu felt warm in her heart: "Mom, I love you."
"Baby, I love you too, forever."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xu's heart was filled with love from her mother and her fighting spirit was high.
She started looking online for suitable schools and majors that interested her.
In the afternoon, I suddenly received an unexpected call.
"Senior Brother."
Jiang Xu's voice was filled with surprise, yet also a bit cautious.
Qin Zifei's tone was indistinguishable from his joy or anger: "You still remember me, your senior brother."
Jiang Xu bit her lip, feeling a little guilty.
When they were in college, she and Qin Zifei were the two students that Professor Wu valued most. Qin Zifei was a year older than her, and Professor Wu planned to recommend them to a foreign university for further graduate studies.
Jiang Xu and Qin Zifei agreed that he would go abroad first and she would follow, and they would return together after completing their studies to serve their motherland.
As a result, Jiang Xu couldn't bear to give up her feelings for He Yanting, so after graduation she joined Shengyu Group and did planning work that had nothing to do with her original major.
Jiang Xu's silence made Qin Zifei unable to help but speak.
"Forget it, it's all in the past. There's no need to mention it."
Jiang Xu said softly, "I'm sorry."
"hehe."
Qin Zifei sneered unappreciatively, then said, "Did you know that Professor Wu is ill?"
Jiang Xu was a little nervous: "Is it serious?"
Qin Zifei said, "I don't know. I just know that she had surgery some time ago. She didn't tell anyone because she was afraid we would worry. It's not convenient for me to be abroad, so I'd like to ask you to go see her."
"Okay, I'll go tomorrow."
Jiang Xu agreed immediately.
She opened her WeChat address book and clicked on the dialog box with Professor Wu.
The last time the two of them spoke was a year ago, when they graduated.
Professor Wu’s last words were: Jiang Xu, you disappoint me greatly.
Jiang Xu pursed her lips, and the image of the short but powerful old lady immediately emerged in her mind. She mustered up the courage to send her a message.
After successfully sending the message, she breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately she was not blocked.
About an hour later, Professor Wu returned.
A very brief sentence: No need to come see me.
Jiang Xu's heart sank suddenly. After hesitating for a while, he called Professor Wu.
The call was quickly connected, and Jiang Xu said softly, "Teacher."
Professor Wu was silent for a moment. "Wasn't I clear enough? If you're just visiting me, there's no need. I'm fine."
"Qin Zifei asked me to look after you."
Jiang Xu hesitated for a moment, "And there's something I want to ask you about... about graduate school."
Her voice grew weaker and weaker, and she felt that there was little hope.
Professor Wu paused and asked, "You want to pursue graduate studies?"
"Well, I'd like to ask you about my major and school, if you don't mind."
Jiang Xu's tone was very humble.
Professor Wu sighed and said, "Okay, come over tomorrow."
"Well, thank you, teacher!"
A huge stone in Jiang Xu's heart fell to the ground instantly.
night.
Jiang Xu was lying in bed when he suddenly remembered that he had not finished filling out the surgery booking form.
She opened the program, quickly filled it out, and submitted it.
After falling asleep, she dreamed of the child again.
The little figure stood not far away, looking at her pitifully: "Mom, do you really not want me?"
Jiang Xu was extremely sad, as if her heart was stabbed by a knife.
The child turned and ran, and she subconsciously chased after him, shouting, "Baby, baby..."
Suddenly waking up, Jiang Xu found that her face was covered with tears.
