Once upstairs, Xiang Nanzhi pulled Jiang Yao aside, and fearing that Ma Xiaorong might misunderstand, he made things clear in front of both of them. Ma Xiaorong's expression softened slightly, and she looked at Jiang Yao, "Are you being sincere?"
“I am. If I weren’t sincere, there’s a recording of that incident. They can arrest me and put me in jail anytime. I stand by what I say!”
"If you don't believe me, I swear, if I'm lying..."
"Okay, don't get so agitated. Calm down. People who do great things need to be calm."
Ma Xiaorong glanced at Jiang Yao and said, "So it was you. You're not only vicious, but also ruthless."
Jiang Yao was quite embarrassed after being scolded by Ma Xiaorong. "I was just too resentful before."
"Now that you're cornered, you're thinking of making amends? Let me tell you, I'm watching you closely. If you dare to play any tricks, I'll have the master..."
"Trust me this once, and I'll find a way to make them look ridiculous. I'll do whatever you tell me to do, Namji."
Xiang Nanzhi nodded, "If you handle it well, I won't send you to jail. If you don't handle it well, I can have the police arrest you at any time."
Xiang Zhengyi and Xiang Jingyi have already arrived home, but Xiang Ciyuan is still missing. "Dad, eldest brother, you're back. Where's second brother?"
The two of them saw Jiang Yao following behind her, and their expressions were momentarily complicated, but they quickly regained their composure. "Jiang Yao, you're here again."
"I've come over to chat with Zhizhi."
Xiang Nanzhi noticed the subtle difference in their eyes, and she wondered which eye of hers had been blind to have missed it before...
If she had known about her second brother's relationship with Jiang Yao earlier, many things wouldn't have happened, and perhaps Jiang Yao wouldn't have ended up like that.
Xiang Nanzhi took a bite of fruit and said, "Big brother, why don't you call second brother?"
"Let's not wait for him, let's eat first."
At the dinner table, Xiang Zhengyi kept putting food on Xiang Nanzhi's plate. Xiang Jingyi's phone rang a few times, and he hung up.
"Zhizhi, have you lost weight?"
"I haven't lost weight; my weight has been increasing."
"People with children can't be as willful as before. They should go to entertainment venues less often and not blindly follow the trend of losing weight. Being a little chubby is better."
Xiang Nanzhi was hoping to hear something about business, but his family rarely talked about such things at the dinner table, and the meal was very quiet.
After dinner, Jiang Yao went upstairs. Xiang Nanzhi was about to go to the courtyard to talk to her older brother when she overheard him talking on the phone with his back to her. "I have nothing to say to you?"
"Jingyi, don't force me. I also have things I'm pursuing."
"What did I force you to do?"
"You know perfectly well that I can't possibly make a decision right now, what are you doing but forcing me?"
"Su Lan, let's part ways amicably."
"Sometimes I think, we've been together for so long, maybe you've never loved me at all."
I thought he was just cold-hearted and didn't know how to care for people, but he clearly cared a lot about his family and was very attentive to them.
"Either get married or break up."
"Jing Yi..."
"Are you reluctant to part with me, or are you reluctant to give up those interview opportunities and project follow-ups?"
Once their relationship is severed, those people will no longer give Su Lan face, and she will have no reason to continue following the Xiang family's interview. It's unlikely that anyone will be willing to give her face anymore.
Su Lan was speechless, but Xiang Jingyi suddenly laughed out loud, "You think I never loved you, and I also think you've been using me from beginning to end."
Su Lan never spent a penny of his money. When he gave her slightly expensive gifts, she returned them. Everything she did was telling him, "Xiang Jingyi, I'm not with you for your family's money. I just like you as a person."
Xiang Jingyi had thought so before, but in recent years, Su Lan's career has made great progress, and her appetite has grown bigger and bigger. Whenever a project of the Xiang family attracts the attention of the people of the ancient city, she will be the first to come out and ask him if she can produce and plan an on-site interview.
Once she did it once, she did it again, becoming increasingly outrageous, even going so far as to disrupt her father's birthday banquet...
The birthday banquet was just a place for the family to celebrate the father's birthday, for the sake of the atmosphere. Su Lan could put the banquet online with all sorts of exaggerated headlines.
She doesn't want money, she wants resources.
All he wanted from Jingyi was her as a person; he had waited for many years for her to say she wouldn't marry him.
In the end, she turned the tables and accused Xiang Jingyi of never loving her.
"Jingyi, let's meet and have a good talk."
"No need."
After Xiang Jingyi hung up the phone, Xiang Nanzhi felt that she had heard something she shouldn't have, and wanted to turn around and leave.
“Zhizhi…”
"Big brother."
Xiang Nanzhi laughed a little awkwardly, "You're so busy with work, and someone's calling you this late."
She blushes unconsciously when she lies, which makes Xiang Jing want to laugh. This laugh makes his previous unpleasantness disappear.
"Really? You heard a work call?"
"Brother, I just got here and didn't hear you clearly. Was it a work call?"
When Xiang Nanzhi said this, she deliberately didn't look at him. Xiang Jing frowned and gestured for her to go in.
"What's wrong, brother? Can't I stay in this yard?"
"I'll have a smoke, you go in first."
"I'll ask you a few questions, then I'll leave."
Xiang Jing reached for the cigarette pack and took the cigarettes, then put them back.
"I heard that my uncle has started a real estate company called Zhenggang Real Estate, and Sister Yun works there. How is their project progressing?"
