"That brat is Mrs. Yan now. What good will it do our Jiang family to sever ties with her?"
"Do you want the company to go bankrupt and your whole family to be homeless?"
"Dad, please stop scolding my brother. He didn't mean it," Jiang Lulu pleaded.
“After all, my sister comes from the countryside. She’s ignorant and forgets her roots. If the Jiang family hadn’t come back to her, she wouldn’t have the good life she has now.”
She blushed shyly and said, "I'll ask my brother-in-law about the resort project!"
Mr. Jiang felt deeply comforted: "She truly is my good daughter."
...
Back at the villa.
Jiang Yunzhi saw the neatly piled-up local specialties in the corner, like a small mountain, and exclaimed, "Wow!"
"Mr. Yan really bought Huaicheng's specialty products."
The gloom from being disgusted by the Jiang family was instantly swept away.
Her smile was radiant.
Butler Chen also smiled and said, "Madam, the master is in his study upstairs."
Jiang Yunzhi went upstairs and knocked on the study door.
"Go in," came a deep, resonant male voice.
The door was pushed open, and Jiang Yunzhi poked her head out like a cat, her tone cheerful, "Mr. Yan."
At the desk, Yan Wenjing put down his pen and watched her approach step by step.
The woman wore a casual beige shirt, a simple work outfit.
Beneath thick eyelashes, her eyes were clean and bright.
Girls her age wear their thoughts on their sleeves; they can't hide them at all.
For example, she's looking at me with a big happy face right now, staring at me without blinking, bold and straightforward.
Yan Wenjing avoided her gaze.
Jiang Yunzhi: "Have you tried the local specialty, sir?"
Yan Wenjing responded casually, "Yes, I tried a little."
Jiang Yunzhi pointed at her fingers and asked, "Can I bring some to the company and share some with my colleagues?"
"Sure," the man said, his tone unusually gentle. "They're all yours."
Well? !
Jiang Yunzhi's heart skipped a beat.
As expected of a big shot, he's a natural at exuding charm.
A single, casual sentence can instantly evoke a sense of romance.
I can't imagine who will end up dating a man like that?
She changed the subject: "I went back to the Jiang family today. They want to bid for the Nancheng Resort project and asked me to help them with some connections."
If you have a mouth that you don't use, you might as well donate it to someone in need.
Those who voluntarily confess will be treated leniently.
Yan Wenjing gave a half-smile: "What's our relationship?"
“Husband and wife,” Jiang Yunzhi blurted out, then quickly added, “A couple in name only.”
He was afraid that the big shot would misunderstand him.
"Mr. Yan, rest assured, I am self-aware and will make sure to maintain a superficial harmony with you, while not interfering with each other in private and giving each other space."
"I absolutely, absolutely have no other intentions."
If so, punish her by making her give away all her allowance!
Just thinking about it makes my heart ache.
Yan Wenjing did not respond, his expression more aloof and distant than usual.
Look at how cautious she is, as if getting involved with me would be the death of her.
It's because of Shen Xuzhou, isn't it?
She really liked her philandering ex-boyfriend, and even cut her wrists for him.
What a love-struck girl.
Yan Wenjing didn't actually care who she liked.
He just didn't want his newlywed wife to contemplate suicide for another man, which would damage the Yan family's reputation.
That's all.
The man lit a Cuban cigar, his voice cool and mocking, "So you're here to whisper sweet nothings in the pillow for the Jiang family?"
