Chapter 1138 My husband is not infatuated with me (16)
When Ju Shichu heard what Yan Cheng said, she was a little disappointed. She thought there would be a tough battle to fight. She was going to search the Internet for this Mr. Gu's family company as soon as she got home after the banquet to find out whether there was any evidence of illegal or criminal activities. She planned to report it as a righteous person. She didn't expect him to give in so quickly, which made her feel regretful that her hero had no place to use his skills.
Yan Cheng seemed to see her regret and asked, "Are you sorry that he didn't continue to be tough with me?"
"No, no!" Ju Shichu shook his head like a rattle. "I am a peace-loving person. How could I be like those people who only want to create chaos in the world?"
"Really? I thought you were the kind of person who just wanted to watch the fun and not mind making trouble." Yan Cheng saw through her hypocrisy, but surprisingly he was not angry. Instead, he found it funny, with a hint of smile in his eyes.
When Ju Shichu heard what he said, his "innocent" and "pure" eyes widened and he accused, "How could you misunderstand me?!"
"It's my fault." Yan Cheng apologized immediately, his tone so gentle that it was almost doting.
However, the careless Ju Shichu did not notice it. The one who noticed it was a female guest who had been pretending to taste wine near them. She had admired Yan Cheng for so long, and she only knew that Yan Cheng was cold and ruthless to everyone, especially to women who came close to him, whom he would avoid as much as possible. But now, his attitude towards this woman was so gentle, it seemed, it was actually gentle, this word that seemed to have nothing to do with Yan Cheng, but it happened to appear on him.
This made her feel like a fire was burning in her heart, making her extremely tormented and painful, and she was extremely jealous and resentful of the woman who was treated so gently by Yan Cheng.
She took a few deep breaths, forced down the bitter and painful thoughts in her heart, put on a smile again, disguised everything, and then pretended to pass by unintentionally, walked in front of Yan Cheng and Ju Shichu, and said in surprise: "Yan Cheng, so you are here? Whose family is this beautiful lady next to you? Can you introduce her to me?"
Yan Cheng's gentle expression immediately returned to expressionless. He nodded distantly to the woman who came over and said, "Her surname is Ju, and she is my friend."
Then he said to Ju Shichu, "This lady is Miss Tang, the daughter of the chairman of Changyu Daily Use Company."
Tang Qin saw Yan Cheng's completely different attitudes towards her and Ju Shichu, and the violent emotions in her heart almost burst out again, but she quickly suppressed them, forced a smile, pretended to be kind, and said to Ju Shichu: "It turns out to be Miss Ju, nice to meet you."
"Hello, Miss Tang." Ju Shichu also smiled and asked politely. This Miss Tang might think that she had disguised herself well, but her hostility could not escape Ju Shichu's keen observation even if she tried her best to hide it. Her disguise was too poor.
"Yan Cheng, how did you get to know Miss Ju? Have you cooperated with Miss Ju's family's company? But my memory is not very good, and I have forgotten what businesses the Ju family has..." Tang Qin's intention to belittle Ju Shichu was written on her face. By saying this, wasn't she just reminding Yan Cheng that Ju Shichu was not on the same level as them?
Yan Cheng obviously understood what she meant, and his eyes turned cold when he looked at Tang Qin: "The Ju family is not a big family, but Miss Ju saved me when I was in a serious car accident. She is my lifesaver, and I will be grateful to her for the rest of my life."
When Tang Qin heard what he said, she was so shocked that her voice became sharp: "You said she was the one who saved you at the car accident scene?!"
She knew that Yan Cheng had been in a very serious car accident a few months ago, which was caused by his uncle Yan Weian, but Yan Cheng was lucky and was rescued in time before the car caught fire, which made Yan Weian fail. It was because of this that Yan Cheng completely captured Yan Weian and other members of the Yan family and successfully took control of the Yan family.
Tang Qin never expected that the person who saved Yan Cheng was actually Ju Shichu in front of him!
Saving his life, how great is this favor? Tang Qin could imagine how Yan Cheng would treat his lifesaver. He was a man who knew how to repay kindness and resentment. Even if someone had only helped him a little, he would try his best to repay them, not to mention saving his life...
Tang Qin could hardly suppress her jealousy. Why was this woman so lucky? Why didn't she save Yan Cheng? If she knew Yan Cheng would get into a car accident, she would have followed him everywhere. If she had saved his life, how could Yan Cheng not like her?
Yan Cheng frowned and looked at Tang Qin, and warned her: "Miss Ju is my savior. Anyone who dares to bully her is bullying me."
Tang Qin froze for a moment, and said with a forced smile: "Of course, after all, Miss Ju saved you... Who dares to target her?"
"It would be better this way." Yan Cheng said meaningfully.
Tang Qin lowered her head, holding the wine glass tightly, almost crushing it. In order to prevent Yan Cheng from seeing her jealousy and resentment towards Ju Shichu, she hurriedly covered it up and said, "Sorry to bother you two, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. Bye!"
After saying that, she left the scene in a hurry.
Ju Shichu looked at her back and said to Yan Cheng, "She is one of those women who likes you, right?"
Yan Cheng looked at her helplessly: "Don't make random guesses."
"I'm not making a random guess. When she looked at me, the hostility and jealousy in her eyes were almost overflowing. I don't believe you didn't notice it." Ju Shichu exposed bluntly.
"I can't control who likes me or hates me; but I know that I can like or hate anyone." Yan Cheng said something ambiguous.
“That’s right. You don’t have to like everyone who likes you. Besides, you are so outstanding, it’s normal for many people to like you.” Ju Shichu nodded and said.
Yan Cheng opened his mouth and wanted to ask her: Do you like it? But in the end he held back and didn't ask her this question.
This is not the right time. More haste, less speed, Yan Cheng comforted himself in his heart.
Ju Shichu looked at the banquet scene where everyone was drinking and toasting, and asked Yan Cheng: "You are the head of the Yan family now, right? Do you want to arrange a marriage or something?"
When Yan Cheng heard her words, his face immediately darkened, and he said firmly: "No need. I haven't fallen to the point where I need a marriage alliance. Besides, if the Yan family needs me to marry, then there is no need for me to continue to exist."
Ju Shichu raised his eyebrows: "I didn't expect you to be so confident."
"Using your marriage to gain benefits is not a way to keep your family and company long-lasting." Yan Cheng looked at Ju Shichu steadily, "No matter what, I will not get married."
"Okay, I asked the wrong question." Ju Shichu admitted his mistake.
