Upon hearing Jiang Shengjun's voice, Ouyang Maomao on the other end of the phone kept sobbing, but still asked Jiang Shengjun intermittently, "Is Su Wanwan... at your house right now?"
Jiang Shengjun didn't say much, silently replying with a single word: "Mm".
Upon hearing Jiang Shengjun's voice, she knew that she seemed to have lost something forever.
A sense of powerlessness and pain permeated every part of my body.
In the back seat of the car, tears had already welled up in her eyes.
Even though she knew that many, many things had already happened, she still couldn't help but ask.
"Is Su Wanwan in your room?"
Jiang Shengjun simply hummed in response, nodding flatly without a trace of sympathy or pity in his tone.
"Are you really married?" she asked.
Jiang Shengjun listened, glancing at the night outside the window, and coldly replied with a single word: "Hmm."
This "hmm" reflects his impatience with Ouyang Maomao, stemming from Su Wanwan's bold admission of her boasting.
From the tone and attitude, Ouyang Maomao felt offended.
"Jiang Shengjun, why did you treat me like this! Su Wanwan too, when she was short of money, I transferred money to her, when her live streams had no viewers, I helped her increase her viewership and sent her gifts, why does she have to treat me like this! I want her to die!"
She yelled at Jiang Shengjun, venting all her grievances.
But Ouyang Maomao's last sentence completely enraged Jiang Shengjun.
“Ms. Ouyang, that’s enough! There’s no such thing as first come, first served when it comes to love. I’ve been deliberately avoiding you ever since I knew you liked me. Can’t you see that? I’ve rejected you before, but you still came after me! I was afraid of hurting your pride, so I’ve already been very lenient with you! You dare to touch her in the slightest and see what happens!”
He had never had any feelings for Ouyang Maomao, and there was also speculation outside that the Ouyang family and the Jiang family were about to form a powerful alliance in the business world.
But Jiang Shengjun has never relied on any connections to solidify his position in the business world!
He had mixed feelings. When they were kids, Ouyang Maomao and he were indeed very close. They went to school together, attended classes together, fought together, secretly bought spicy snacks from the local vendors, and got scolded together. But all of that was just friendship.
"Kitty, this is the last time I'll say these words to you. If you hurt Wanwan because of your own selfishness, I'm ending our friendship!"
Ouyang Maomao's sobs grew louder and louder. She had been pampered by her parents since she was a child. The respected patriarch of the Jiang family also liked her very much and said that she was suitable to marry Jiang Shengjun. Why couldn't Jiang Shengjun fall in love with her? Why did he have to fall in love with Su Wanwan, who had nothing?
"Jiang Shengjun, don't go too far! You and I are childhood sweethearts, why did you fall in love with Su Wanwan when she came along? Why!"
The more Jiang Shengjun favored Su Wanwan, the more uncomfortable Ouyang Maomao felt.
But the moment he saw Su Wanwan, he already considered her the apple of his eye.
He couldn't cut out his heart's blood to nourish Ouyang Maomao just because she was pitiful.
From childhood to adulthood, he had never argued with Ouyang Maomao once and had always tolerated her. But if her spoiled princess temper were to hurt Su Wanwan when he wasn't paying attention, he would be heartbroken.
This time, he could no longer tolerate it.
"Miss Ouyang, please wake up. Love is a two-way street, not just one-sided. If I ever hear you say anything that you have wronged her, I will hold you accountable without hesitation! My love for her is my business, and it has nothing to do with her!"
Ouyang Maomao found it laughable, and a sharp scream came from the other end of the phone, "You love her? Hahahaha, okay, you love her, right? I understand."
Jiang Shengjun had no intention of listening any longer and hung up the phone.
He knew that saying this would hurt Ouyang Maomao's self-esteem, but he couldn't keep having a wife and still getting entangled with other women.
If I were to persist, wouldn't that be too unfair to my wife?
He poured himself a glass of red wine, sat down on the Capis brand genuine leather and white velvet sofa, his fitted suit without any extra wrinkles, took a sip of red wine and seemed lost in thought, his high nose bridge becoming particularly prominent under the light, like the Tyndall effect emanating from his aloofness and nobility.
The bathroom door slid open, the sound reaching his ears. He turned to look at Su Wanwan, his cold expression instantly softening.
He had just been arguing angrily with Ouyang Maomao, his voice sharp as ice, but now, looking at his wife, his voice was unusually gentle, "All done?"
Su Wanwan nodded, her hair half-tied into a low bun, strands of hair falling beside her delicate face, her body soft and exuding a milky fragrance.
"Okay, I'll sleep on the sofa tonight. I don't want anything to do with you, and you can't tell my best friend about what's going on between us, okay?"
After saying that, Su Wanwan walked to another sofa next to him, sat down, poured herself a glass of red wine, and started drinking.
"It's too late to hide it now, she already knows."
Upon hearing this, Su Wanwan choked on the red wine she had just swallowed, coughing and unable to speak for a long time, her face turning bright red from the choking.
"Don't get too excited, it's a good thing she knows." Jiang Shengjun patted her back gently with his large hand.
Su Wanwan picked up her phone and saw the message Ouyang Maomao had sent her.
Looking at the call log again, Su Wanwan asked angrily, "What did you say to my best friend?"
Jiang Shengjun looked at Su Wanwan, whose face was flushed with smiles, and thought she was kind of cute. Suddenly, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he looked quite sly.
"What exactly did you and my best friend talk about?" Su Wanwan asked seriously.
Jiang Shengjun answered frankly, "It's nothing. I just told her we're married and asked her not to bother us. It's that simple."
Su Wanwan felt numb. Thinking of Ouyang Maomao crying, and how good she had been to her in the past, Su Wanwan couldn't bear it.
Besides, she thought Jiang Shengyun was indeed handsome, but she didn't like him at all.
She wouldn't have done this if it weren't for the money.
She pointed helplessly at Jiang Shengjun and said only one sentence: "You terrible teammate, do you know that Maomao likes you? Saying this will hurt her! Do you know that? It will also affect my relationship with her. What's going on between us? We're just getting along because your family is pressuring us to get married, and I urgently need money, so we got married! If you don't keep it a secret, you'll only hurt each other!"
Jiang Shengyun lost his temper.
"How did it harm us? I'm helping each other. I know she likes me, but I can't be with her. If I were, people would say our families only became powerful through marriage. I don't want to link feelings with business! I prefer pure, unadulterated love!"
Su Wanwan retorted, "Your preference for 100% pure relationships is none of my business. All I know is that you and I have both hurt my best friend."
Jiang Shengjun gave up entirely, saying, "If you feel so sorry for her, then you should be with her!"
