Chapter 116: Stifled
But he didn't say a word, and Jiang Yuan felt like her nerves were about to be worn out.
She wasn't sure what he had found out or when he had known it.
After a long pause, he finally moved his lips. "Are you holding it in because you're afraid I'll suspect you have ulterior motives? Are you planning on paying off those debts with that little bonus?"
Jiang Yuan felt like a fish that was being held in someone's hand and on the verge of suffocation and was finally released back into the sea. He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She quickly calmed down and adjusted her tone, saying, "I don't want you to misunderstand me. If I can be transferred back to the M&A team, I can pay off the debt myself. I'll pay it back in installments, 300,000 per month..."
He interrupted her directly, "Wasn't it because of this debt that you approached me in the first place?"
Jiang Yuan quickly raised his head and shook his head in denial, "No."
"I've never been after your money. Even if I'm not in Dongjin, I can still rely on my own abilities to make money and repay my debts."
He stared at her and said, "So, saving money to start a business and becoming your own boss is all bullshit."
She said nothing, and the air fell into a cold silence.
"How is your mother?"
He asked suddenly.
Jiang Yuan froze for a moment, then his heart warmed up and a warm current instantly surged into his eyes.
Her throat felt slightly sore, and after a long moment, she finally spoke: "She's fine, everything is over. I just want to pay off the debt as soon as possible and get her out."
His heavy gaze swept across her wet eyes, and his eyes darkened. He suddenly took out a cigarette from the cigarette box and lit it.
He exhaled a puff of blue-gray smoke and said, "The verdict at that time..."
"The death penalty was carried out immediately. All the evidence was irrefutable. My father is dead. I don't want to talk about it anymore."
Jiang Yuan suddenly interrupted him.
Her voice was calm, as if she had already accepted the established fact.
Death means that all possibilities and hopes are gone. Even if you have great power, you cannot bring a dead person back to life.
Yin Dong didn't say anything else. He kept looking at her. Her face was calm but pale as paper. There was no ripple in her eyes. It wasn't emptiness, but more like a deliberate suppression, showing numbness.
A faint smoke lingered between the two of them. Yin Dong felt a stuffy feeling in his heart, as if the breath was stuck in his chest, unable to go up or down.
Even he was like this, he could probably feel her collapse and resentment at that time.
It's a pity that he didn't know her at that time.
It's too late.
He puffed out a cigarette and said in a deep voice, "I'll ask Zhou Zhi to go back with you to take care of the family affairs, pick up your mother and arrange a place for her to live."
His entire reaction was beyond Jiang Yuan's expectations. She was stunned for a moment, then quickly weighed the pros and cons in her mind.
At this point, if she refuses again, it would be hypocritical.
But how could she explain their relationship to her mother? Her mother would not allow her to seek revenge on Xue Shan.
She raised her head and said, "Consider this a loan. I'll pay off my debt first. My mother doesn't need to take it over yet. I need to discuss it with her and ask for her consent."
He put out his cigarette, stared at her with deep eyes and said, "What happened in the past is in the past. If you follow me now, I won't let you suffer any more injustice. If you have any problems, just tell me, or go directly to Zhou Zhi. It probably won't be a problem."
Jiang Yuan's heart warmed up, and she looked up at him. His usually indifferent eyes were calm and deep, like a pool of quiet tide, vast and broad, yet making people feel inexplicably safe, and she couldn't help but want to fall into it.
