After listening for a few moments, the receptionist handed the phone to Jiang Yilai: "Ms. Jiang, Mr. Zhou wants to speak with you."
Jiang Yilai answered the phone, but a woman's soft and charming voice came from the other end of the receiver.
"Miss Jiang, if you want to borrow money, let's talk."
That voice belonged to Gu Nianqiang!
Jiang Yilai's eyes turned cold.
She came to see President Zhou to sign the contract, but was stopped by the receptionist. Gu Nianqiang's use of President Zhou's phone to contact her was simply a way of telling her that she, Gu Nianqiang, held her life in her hands.
Therefore, Gu Nianqiang's voice sounded confident and composed.
Jiang Yilai hung up the phone and went straight upstairs.
Mr. Zhou was waiting for her at the conference room door. When he saw her come in, he first gave her an apologetic smile: "Ms. Jiang, you were originally introduced by Attorney Liang, so I was bound to sign this contract with you no matter what. But the Gu family is our company's biggest customer, and this is really..."
Jiang Yilai was naturally a little uncomfortable.
But the real culprit is Gu Nianqiang. President Zhou simply chose the option that would maximize his own interests, making a choice that any normal person would make.
Jiang Yilai didn't say anything, just smiled and said, "I understand, Mr. Zhou. Let me go and talk to Miss Gu first."
Mr. Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stepped aside.
Jiang Yilai knocked on the door and went in.
Gu Nianqiang was the only person in the meeting room.
She leaned back in her chair and smiled when she saw Jiang Yilai: "Miss Jiang, please have a seat."
Jiang Yilai became wary.
They had a very unpleasant argument last time, almost to the point of breaking off relations, but Gu Nianqiang is now meeting her so calmly and composedly.
She seems... different.
Jiang Yilai sat opposite her and said coldly, "What do you want from me?"
"It's nothing, I just have some things I'd like to discuss with Miss Jiang."
Gu Nianqiang looked at Jiang Yilai and smiled gently: "Our previous meetings were not very pleasant, mainly because I was too incredulous when I came back this time and learned that Nan Xiao was married, so I lost my composure. Please forgive me."
She tucked a stray hair behind her ear and said with a wry smile, "Actually, I wasn't always like this."
Jiang Yilai felt a strange sensation in her heart.
What is she doing?
When coercion fails, they resort to a desperate measure?
But if Gu Nianqiang really felt sorry, why did she have to do this today? She could have just asked her out to talk.
Jiang Yilai didn't believe her at all.
She smiled warily: "Miss Gu, just say what you want to say."
"I didn't want to say these things, afraid of hurting you, but..."
Gu Nianqiang shook her head, sighed, her eyes filled with a mixture of sympathy and nostalgia.
She took a photo album out of her bag and handed it to Jiang Yilai: "Nan Xiao and I grew up together as childhood sweethearts. He doesn't interact with any other women, only allowing me to get close to him. When we went to school together, he would pick me up and drop me off every day, bring me breakfast, and fulfill all my requests. After he took over the Fu family business, he would always ask me to accompany him on business trips, and we traveled to all sorts of places..."
Gu Nianqiang spoke slowly, her eyes filled with indescribable sweetness.
Jiang Yilai told herself that these things had nothing to do with her, but she couldn't help but look through the photo album on the table.
The album is very thick, and every page contains photos of the two of them together.
Jiang Yilai's face turned slightly pale, and a sharp pain came from her chest.
Seeing that Jiang Yilai's expression had changed, Gu Nianqiang took a sip of coffee to hide the smile on her lips.
She's been thinking about it these past few days.
It's no use clinging to Fu Nanxiao; she knows him very well.
