‘He actually dared to block me?!’
‘Has he lost his mind?’
Jiang Qingli watched Jiang Chen weave through the crowd downstairs, clearly trying to escape the banquet hall.
Her cold, breathtakingly beautiful face gradually sank into darkness. A terrifying fury, suppressed almost to its limit, flashed through her narrow, beautiful eyes.
‘Fine! Very well!’
‘Run? Does he really think he can get away?’
‘I’d like to see how he plans to explain himself!’
Jiang Qingli ordered coldly, “Butler Li, stop him.”
Meanwhile, inside the banquet hall, Jiang Chen inexplicably felt a chill running down his back. He immediately quickened his pace and rushed out of the venue.
‘Damn it. Staying in a place like this feels like some novel plot is about to happen every second.’
However, in Su Zhenyue’s eyes, the sight took on an entirely different meaning.
‘Jiang Chen… he’s already this heartbroken.’
‘Yet he’s still stubbornly pretending that everything is fine.’
Xiaosu, the assistant beside her, couldn’t help tearing up. “Eldest Young Miss… you’ve really gone too far. Look at Young Master Jiang Chen. He’s so heartbroken that he can barely walk straight…”
“Young Master Jiang Chen is really so pitiful…”
A complicated emotion also surfaced in Su Zhenyue’s heart.
She hadn’t wanted things to turn out this way either. Jiang Chen was indeed a good man.
But if she had to accept someone she didn’t love, she couldn’t do it even if it killed her.
All she could do was compensate him a little more materially.
“Xiaosu, inform the company and my family. If Jiang Chen comes back looking for me, arrange a position for him at the company.”
“Consider it… a small compensation from me.”
In truth, Su Zhenyue still believed there was no way Jiang Chen could endure staying away from her.
Although he was currently claiming that he was exhausted and had finally let go, she knew him better than anyone.
Jiang Chen loved her as much as his own life. There was simply no way he could truly let go.
At most, it would probably take no more than three days before he came back.
She simply couldn’t convince herself to date someone she didn’t love.
Still, she had to compensate him somehow.
Jiang Chen had begged her many times for an opportunity to work at Su Corporation.
He had always hoped to join Su Corporation so that he could have more opportunities to spend time with her.
To him, an opportunity to be closer to her was far more precious than money.
This time, she would give him that opportunity as compensation.
“Really?! Eldest Young Miss, you’re the kindest and most generous!”
Xiaosu’s eyes instantly lit up with excitement. This chapter was copied from g.com without permission.
‘If Jiang Chen joins Su Corporation, doesn’t that mean I’ll have even more chances to see him?!’
Jiang Haotian, who had been listening from the side, finally couldn’t sit still anymore.
“Zhenyue… you’re letting Jiang Chen join your company? Isn’t that a little inappropriate? He… he hasn’t even graduated yet. Is he really qualified for the job?”
‘Has Su Zhenyue lost her mind?’
Su Corporation ranked among the top 100 companies in the Nation, and working there would also give Jiang Chen more opportunities to interact with Su Zhenyue.
Even Jiang Haotian hadn’t been given an opportunity like that, yet she had handed it to Jiang Chen so casually?!
Su Zhenyue frowned and glanced at him. “What? Do you have a problem with it?”
For some reason, before Jiang Haotian returned to the Nation, she had often remembered all the good things about him.
His gentleness and thoughtfulness, his kindness, and the fact that he had once saved her life.
But now, with the man himself standing right in front of her, she couldn’t shake the feeling that he was completely different from the person she remembered…
The feeling she had expected simply wasn’t there anymore…
“No, Zhenyue. I’m just worried that Brother Chen might be in a bad mood after seeing me return.”
“A few days ago, he got angry and pushed me down the stairs. I don’t know whether he’s feeling better now…”
Seeing Su Zhenyue’s expression change, Jiang Haotian hurriedly changed his approach. As he spoke, he deliberately revealed his arms and legs, which were still wrapped in bandages.
Only then did Su Zhenyue’s expression soften. “He pushed you?”
The Jiang Chen she knew shouldn’t have been the kind of person who would do something like that.
“It’s fine, Zhenyue… I only suffered a few fractures. It’s nothing serious. I’ll recover after resting for a while.”
Seeing Su Zhenyue react, Jiang Haotian hurriedly played up his misery and revealed the gauze dressings that hadn’t been changed for several days.
There were even bloodstains on them.
Jiang Haotian was certain that Su Zhenyue would become furious over this, curse Jiang Chen, and take his side.
Instead, she merely frowned and sighed.
“Forget it. I’ll personally ask him what happened. If you also want to join Su Corporation, then you can come too.”
“I’m tired. I’m going outside.”
With that, Su Zhenyue turned and left.
For some reason, the sight of those bloodstains filled her with inexplicable disgust and irritation.
She had always been obsessed with cleanliness. She couldn’t stand the sight of blood and was even more afraid of needles. Had Jiang Haotian actually forgotten even that?
‘If it were Jiang Chen… Forget it.’
Jiang Haotian completely failed to notice that something was wrong with Su Zhenyue. The moment he heard that she had agreed to let him join Su Corporation, he was instantly overjoyed.
“Really?! Thank you, Zhenyue!”
“I’ll tell my Eldest Sister and my parents about this first, then have them arrange my schedule!” Read this novel at g.com for the best experience.
Jiang Haotian valued this opportunity immensely. As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and went looking for Jiang Qingli.
Meanwhile, Jiang Chen had already escaped into the underground parking garage.
After making sure no one had followed him, he finally let out a long sigh of relief.
Just as he was about to celebrate finally escaping from those haunting demons, a pair of exquisite feet in black high heels with wine-red soles appeared before him.
“Jiang Chen, aren’t you going to explain yourself to me?”
A beautiful yet chilling female voice sounded above him.
Jiang Chen’s back went cold. A bone-piercing chill seemed almost tangible as it slowly crawled up his spine.
He slowly raised his head.
There was Jiang Qingli’s breathtakingly beautiful face, and beneath her luxurious black gown, the voluptuous curves of her chest…
Today, Jiang Qingli wore a black evening gown adorned with tiny diamonds. Beneath her long, straight, ink-black hair, her cold and elegant oval face was touched with light makeup, while the beauty mark at the corner of her eye gave her an alluring charm.
Yet none of that could overshadow the stunning curves revealed by her fitted mermaid gown. Her voluptuous figure was simply far too eye-catching.
More importantly, she had appeared out of nowhere and was standing suffocatingly close to him.
Jiang Chen’s eyes practically activated auto-aim.
His gaze instinctively dropped toward the tightly confined curves beneath her evening gown.
‘Damn, those cups are huge. Bah! No, I mean, her future children definitely won’t go hungry. Bah…’
Jiang Chen felt warmth gathering beneath his nose, as though he were about to have a nosebleed.
Seeing his gaze gradually become strange, Jiang Qingli finally realized that something was wrong.
“You!!”
“Bastard!”
The moment she realized what he was staring at, Jiang Qingli’s face flushed crimson. She instinctively raised her hand and slapped him.
Jiang Chen immediately dodged on instinct, effortlessly avoiding the slap.
Afterward, even he stared in disbelief.
‘Damn, that was completely instinctive. I didn’t know I had moves like that.’
Seeing Jiang Qingli’s stunned and frustrated expression made him indescribably happy.
He even raised his eyebrows at her provocatively.
‘Hey, hey, hey! Can’t hit me, can’t hit me!’
Jiang Chen grinned. “Miss Jiang, if you’re bad at it, practice more. I’m not accepting disciples, though.”
After saying that, he turned around to leave.
Behind him came Jiang Qingli’s voice, so cold that it sounded almost murderous.
“Jiang Chen, I guarantee that if you dare take even one more step forward…”
“I’ll make sure… you never want to walk again for the rest of your life…”
