Chapter 68 [VIP] Best Friend's Shield (6)
"What did you say?"
What does the end mean?
Nan Yan looked at the calm-faced man in front of her and for a moment she thought she had heard it wrong.
She was a little bit unbelievable, and when her tears were about to fall, she quickly raised her hand and wiped them away, but the tears would not stop flowing. In the end, she couldn't even tell from the expression on her face whether she was crying or laughing.
She lowered her head and thought for a long time, and finally came up with a reasonable reason, "Tell me, is there something wrong with Wanrou?"
Nan Yan grabbed Jiang Shaoyan's hand and squeezed it tightly, trying to suppress her emotions so that she wouldn't collapse so quickly. She also tried to find a reason to explain why he said this.
"She... was bullied by someone? Are you blaming me? Blame me for being too stingy that day and not letting you go to see her earlier. If that's the case, I apologize to you, I..." But he couldn't say the rest.
When she paused, tears began to fall uncontrollably.
When Jiang Shaoyan saw her like this, he suddenly felt uncomfortable, as if something was pressing heavily on his heart. Every time he took a breath, it felt as if countless needles were pricking him, and even his breathing became difficult.
Jiang Shaoyan let out a long sigh. It's not that he has no feelings for Nan Yan, but this tiny bit of liking for her is nothing compared to the feelings he has for Wan Rou.
Especially after knowing that Wanrou broke up with Fu Qingzhou. He had never been so excited before, the tension and excitement in his heart seemed to reach the peak in an instant. He knew that this was an opportunity, an opportunity that he absolutely could not miss.
As long as he succeeds, Wanrou will belong to him in the future.
So he could only...abandon Nan Yan.
It would be better for both of you to end it with her as soon as possible, while this slight affection is not so obvious yet.
Jiang Shaoyan said to himself in his heart:
After all, the one he likes is Wanrou, only Wanrou.
How could he be willing to let go of someone he had loved for so many years, someone he had been attracted to since the first moment he saw her?
Thinking of this, Jiang Shaoyan no longer hesitated. He squeezed his palms hard, trying to suppress the discomfort deep in his heart. He said in a cold tone, "This has nothing to do with Wanrou. She is very good. I am the one who wants to break up with you."
"She was my favorite from the beginning."
If he had any desire to continue with Nan Yan before, now there may not be any thought left.
If you take a step back in emotional matters, you can only compromise. If Wanrou wasn't there, he might have been willing to compromise once. But at this moment, Wanrou broke up with him.
During the time when he was busy cultivating his relationship with Nan Yan, important internal documents of Fu's company were leaked. During the construction of a newly-purchased piece of land in the urban area, more than a dozen people were injured and killed, and the problem has been delayed and not resolved. In addition, many problems occurred within the group. The senior management was scheming and fighting among themselves, and they blamed each other when an accident happened. Later, due to the inability to resolve the debt problem, they had to declare bankruptcy. Now all the assets under the name of Fu have been frozen.
It can be said that Fu Qingzhou has nothing now, and the engagement ceremony between him and Fang Wanrou has been extended indefinitely. In order to avoid being affected, Su's father strictly forbade Su Wanrou from dating Fu Qingzhou.
Although the relationship was quickly cleared, the Su family's business was still affected to some extent. Today, the Su's stock price continues to fall. In order to alleviate the Su family's shortage of funds, Su Wanrou can only be forced to marry someone else...
How could Jiang Shaoyan be willing to let go of this?
And Nan Yan knew nothing about this.
She only knew that the man in front of her went out for a while and wanted to break up with her when he came back.
Don’t even know what you did wrong?
Nan Yan suddenly raised her head, tears streaming down her face, and looked at him with a suppressed expression. Her eyes met his without any hesitation, "Do I know why?"
Hearing this, Jiang Shaoyan was silent for a long time. After a long while, he avoided her gaze and said calmly, "Wanrou broke up."
So that's how it is.
Nan Yan finally understood. She suddenly couldn't help but chuckle, tears falling down one by one, with a mocking smile on her face.
Because Su Wanrou broke up with Fu Qingzhou, he had the opportunity to get promoted, so it was time for her, the troublesome girlfriend, to get away.
Nan Yan closed her eyes tightly and wiped the tears from her face. When she opened her eyes again, the emotions in her heart seemed to have calmed down a lot. She looked at him and said, "But even so, you can't guarantee that Wanrou will be with you. If she likes you, she would have liked you a long time ago. Why is it necessary to wait until now?"
"I know, so I need your help."
Jiang Shaoyan's calm voice echoed in the air.
He looked up at Nan Yan and saw the band-aid wrapped around her finger. He didn't know what he was thinking about, and he frowned subconsciously, but he quickly looked away and continued, "Fu Qingzhou has nothing now, just like a dog without a home, but I won't do anything to beat a dog when it's down."
His voice became increasingly cold, and his tone became extremely rational.
"I just need you to approach him in Wanrou's name, and then keep an eye on him. You can do something when necessary. In short, don't let him get close to Wanrou again, and don't allow him to have the slightest chance to get back together with Wanrou."
At this point, Jiang Shaoyan paused, turned around, and looked directly into her eyes, "If possible, I hope he can like someone else."
He doesn't want to care who this other person is.
In short, Fu Qingzhou is not allowed to get close to Wanrou again.
He didn't want this hard-earned opportunity to be revived in the end because of the lingering feelings between the two of them. He didn't want to fail again.
After hearing what he said, Nan Yan couldn't believe her ears. She widened her eyes, as if she didn't recognize the person in front of her. She looked him up and down, and in the end, her eyes were filled with disappointment and disbelief.
She really didn't expect that he could become so unscrupulous for Fang Wanrou.
Let her approach Fu Qingzhou under the name of Wanrou.
What on earth is he thinking?
Nan Yan took a step back uncontrollably, as if she was seeing him for the first time, and shook her head in extreme disappointment, "Do you know... what you are talking about?"
There was a hint of sob and sadness in her voice.
"I know exactly what I'm saying, and I'm being sensible. I want you to get close to Fu Qingzhou. Do whatever it takes, just don't let him get in touch with Wanrou again."
Jiang Shaoyan's tone was calmer than ever before. He had been thinking about this matter since he learned that Wanrou had broken up. This was the best solution he could think of.
Nan Yan was hurt by his attitude. She suddenly raised her head and stared at him coldly, as if she was unwilling to be a stepping stone for him and Fang Wanrou. She said in a mocking tone,
"What do you think of me? A toy for you to manipulate? Besides, why should I help you?"
Jiang Shaoyan didn't care about her resistance at all. He was even very calm, showing the same attitude he would use to treat a rival in the business world. "I remember your brother was in a car accident three years ago. After the perpetrator fled, no one paid for his medical treatment, so the treatment was not thorough. Until now, your brother's legs still can't walk normally. If you are willing, I will pay for your brother to hire the most authoritative doctor to re-treat his leg injury. In this case, are you unwilling?"
He said the last few words lightly.
But Nan Yan felt as if she weighed a thousand pounds, so much so that her body was somewhat unsteady. She staggered back a step, raised her head in some pain, and suddenly seemed to realize that she had been led by him by the nose from the very beginning.
He never cared about her feelings and thoughts at all, and even took full advantage of them at this critical moment.
Because in this way, he not only got rid of her entanglement, but also let her control Fu Qingzhou. Killing two birds with one stone. Can we say that he is really a natural businessman?
Nan Yan looked up at Jiang Shaoyan. She seemed unwilling to give up. Her eyes were filled with suppressed despair and a hint of hope. Finally, she couldn't help but ask:
"Don't you like me at all?"
She still refused to believe it. She didn't believe that the feelings during that period were all fake. She didn't believe that his nervousness towards her was just an act, even though he clearly didn't reject her anymore...
Jiang Shao consciously ignored the pain in his heart, turned around, and said in a depressed mood, "No, I have made it very clear."
Hearing this, Nan Yan closed her eyes, wiped the tears from her face one by one, then opened her eyes, looked at him calmly and said, "Okay, I promise you."
"But I have one more request."
Nan Yan's emotions had calmed down by now. She could even make requests to him rationally, but the look in her eyes when she looked at him was like a pool of stagnant water, without any ripples at all.
Jiang Shaoyan was actually relieved when he heard her agree, but he wasn't as relieved as he appeared to be.
He felt a little uncomfortable in his chest, as if something was blocking his breathing, but he subconsciously ignored it and looked at her and said, "You tell me."
"I also want a sum of money to ensure that my family's future life will not be disturbed. In addition, I will not bother you anymore. You can rest assured about this. Let's just treat the dispute between us as a financial one. I will move out as soon as possible."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and wanted to go back to pack her things and leave here as soon as possible.
But before he could take a step, someone grabbed his wrist.
Jiang Shaoyan didn't know that he would move so quickly. His palm was tightly pressed against her wrist. It was warm and soft, and he could almost hold it firmly with one hand. "You don't have to move out in a hurry. I will leave this house to you. Tomorrow I will let a lawyer handle the transfer. I will agree to any request you make. Just consider it as my compensation to you."
When he said the last sentence, he paused.
As soon as she finished speaking, Nan Yan pushed his hand away with a little force, took a step back, and kept a distance from him that was neither too far nor too close.
"Okay, thank you."
Jiang Shaoyan looked at his empty hand and withdrew his hand with some discomfort.
Perhaps it was because I had never been treated with such a cold attitude by her before, and a very strange feeling suddenly surged in my heart.
He hummed softly, trying to maintain his composure, and replied calmly, "You don't have to thank me. These were originally meant for you."
After listening to this, Nan Yan turned and went into her bedroom.
Never looked at him again.
Jiang Shaoyan stared at the closed door for a long time with a complicated expression. I wonder what he was thinking?
But in the end he said nothing and just walked away.
