Chapter 71 Bullying
Chen Yao didn't expect that the person they were going to meet tonight was Jiang Xilin.
The moment he saw Jiang Xilin, Chen Yao felt that all the courtesies and preparations he had just made with Fang Yan had turned into a heavy and loud slap in the face.
It made him feel hot and embarrassed.
Especially since Jiang Xilin's reaction to him was very indifferent, as if he simply glanced at his face and didn't take it seriously.
Chen Yao didn't react immediately, and Fang Yan frowned at him in dissatisfaction, carefully avoiding Jiang Xilin so as not to let them see him.
Fang Yan was displeased. What was Chen Yao standing there in a daze at this critical moment?
Under Fang Yan's sharp gaze, Chen Yao finally reacted. He took a step forward and extended his hand to Jiang Xilin, "Mr. Jiang."
Chen Yao added, "What a coincidence, I didn't expect it to be you."
Fang Yan: "Do you still know Mr. Jiang?"
Chen Yao couldn't say he knew Jiang Xilin. What kind of acquaintance did that mean? He had even targeted Jiang Xilin with a subtle hint yesterday.
Jiang Xilin didn't say anything, which made Chen Yao very embarrassed, and he dealt with it vaguely.
The best seat in the room was given to Jiang Xilin, and even Yuan An sat in front of Fang Yan.
When Chen Yao came, he had thought about how he would behave so that the other party would agree to sell the house in East Mansion to him. But now, he sat in his seat, feeling very uncomfortable and unable to utter a word.
Fang Yan kept winking at him before he stood up with his glass to toast Jiang Xilin.
Jiang Xilin tidied his sleeves slowly and gave Yuan An a look. Yuan An immediately said to Chen Yao, "I'm sorry, our boss has something to do this afternoon and can't drink at noon."
Chen Yao couldn't help but tighten his hand holding the wine glass.
Regardless of whether the original statement is true or false, since it has been said, even if Jiang Xilin doesn't drink it, Chen Yao will still have to drink it.
He said something polite and drank the wine himself.
After sitting down, Chen Yao didn't look at Jiang Xilin. He thought Jiang Xilin was definitely making trouble for him on purpose.
Besides, how could it be such a coincidence that the seller of the house that Chen Congyu wanted happened to be Jiang Xilin?
Doesn’t Chen Congyu know about this?
Chen Yao clenched his fists tightly on his legs, even making a crackling sound.
But he has to maintain the illusion of being gentle on the surface, otherwise if he is found out, won’t he be used to manipulate others?
The subsequent topics were almost all Fang Yan actively communicating with Yuan An. Yuan An had a good attitude, but he never gave a clear answer.
Jiang Xilin sat in his seat, casually playing with the small wine glass in his hand.
Chen Yao gradually became unable to sit still.
He took advantage of Fang Yan drinking again and suddenly stood up.
Fang Yan and Yuan An looked at him, and Jiang Xilin also raised his eyelids.
Chen Yao pursed his lips and said stiffly, "Boss Jiang, what can you do to sell me that apartment in the East Mansion? Why don't you just state the conditions directly?"
Jiang Xilin tilted his head slightly. He had thin eyelids and long eye slits. When he looked at others indifferently, there was a sense of faint contempt.
At least that's how Chen Yao feels at the moment.
He must be feeling very happy now, right?
Jiang Xilin asked him, "Why are you so anxious?"
Chen Yao suppressed his displeasure, a smile emanating from his lips, "Yes, my girlfriend wants it. Boss Jiang, why don't you help me and give it to me."
Jiang Xilin curled his lips slightly, "Okay."
Fang Yan quickly pressed on: "Really? Just name your terms."
They were so anxious that they didn't notice that there was no gentleness in Jiang Xilin's eyes.
They waited for Jiang Xilin to state the conditions.
Jiang Xilin smiled slightly, pointed a finger at Chen Yao, and said, "I want him to kneel down."
Fang Yan was stunned for two seconds, thinking he had heard wrongly.
He then immediately looked at Chen Yao.
At this point, Fang Yan also realized that the "knowledge" Chen Yao mentioned, could it be a contradiction with Jiang Xilin?
Chen Yao was still standing by the table, his head slightly lowered, his eyes dark.
A long silence stretched across the table.
Jiang Xilin and the original case were not affected.
Fang Yan felt very embarrassed and even wiped the sweat from his forehead, trying to make a joke to ease the atmosphere.
However, at this time, Jiang Xilin asked with a smile: "Don't want to?"
Fang Yan quickly said, "Boss Jiang, please stop joking with us. We are sincere. Besides, you all know each other..."
It would have been fine if he hadn't said the second half of the sentence, but as soon as he said it, Chen Yao exploded instantly.
He pushed the chair away and said, "Since you want to play tricks on me, what else do you have to say?"
"Boss Fang, is this your sincerity?" Yuan An asked Fang Yan.
His meaning also represents Jiang Xilin's meaning.
Fang Yan was in a dilemma and ultimately had to rely on Chen Yao.
After all, it was Chen Yao who wanted the house, and it was Chen Yao who Jiang Xilin asked people to kneel down.
He reached out to pull Chen Yao away, telling him to at least not embarrass himself if he disagreed.
Bian Heyuan said, "No, we can talk it over. Chen Yao, please sit down first and don't get so excited."
Chen Yao was on the verge of exploding.
Originally, he was unwilling to speak humbly to Jiang Xilin. Jiang Xilin was Shen Congyu's ex. What was the point of him bowing to his wife's ex?
Besides, Jiang Xilin proposed such unreasonable conditions, how could he agree to it?
But at this point, he seemed too cowardly to leave so directly.
Chen Yao took a deep breath and looked straight at Jiang Xilin: "I really want to have a good talk, so I hope Boss Jiang can take it seriously. If you need money or something else, just ask, and I will do my best to meet my needs."
"Money, do you really have it?"
Jiang Xilin wanted to laugh.
He knew that Chen Yao didn't have this ability, otherwise why would he go through so much trouble to contact him?
Unfortunately, Chen Yao was unaware of this.
Chen Yao pretended to be calm and said, "Yes."
Jiang Xilin added, "But I don't need money. I have only one condition. If you can do it, do it. If you can't, leave."
"Are you being too much of a bully?"
Jiang Xilin: "When you ask someone to do something for you, you should act in a begging manner. You can say I'm bullying you, whatever you want. Anyway, I'm happy to do it."
He looked at Chen Yao, silently forcing him.
Chen Yao had never dealt with Jiang Xilin before. The two times they met before were just a few words. How could he know that Jiang Xilin was so bad at doing things and had such an aggressive personality?
The lights in the room were far too bright, allowing the other three people's gazes to be directly in front of them: one was watching the show, one was looking contemptuous, and one was waiting.
All of them gathered into a stream of energy and rushed into Chen Yao's mind.
Chen Yao concluded that Jiang Xilin was like this today definitely because of Shen Congyu.
Thinking about what happened between him and Shen Congyu, having been with Shen Congyu for so long, could it be that he already got everything?
As for himself, he only had the title of husband, and even forced Chen Congyu to stay by his side.
Chen Congyu could still treat Jiang Xilin peacefully when she met him now, but when she met him again, she didn't even want to say a word.
Did something happen between them before he came to Haicheng that he didn't know about?
