Mr. Presidentâs expression instantly turned ugly.
A soft hand covered my hand. Madam Presidentâs smile was indescribably gentle and kind. âNanxing, you sure like to joke. Auntie knows that youâre unhappy, and itâs all our Angelâs fault. Sheâs young and immature, so you shouldnât lower yourself to her level. I already know about you and Jing Tian. I think the two of you are a match made in heaven. When you get married in the future, youâll be Angelâs cousin-in-law. Listen to Auntie, donât lower yourself to the level of an immature child.â
How could this woman change her face so fast?
I looked at her and gently pulled my hand out. I smiled. âMadam, you flatter me. Speaking of, Iâm only two years older than Miss Angel. Even though my parents are gone, my little uncle has always treated me like I am a child. As for being Miss Angelâs cousin-in-law⦠I donât think Miss Angel will admit to it, especially not me being her cousin-in-law. Your words are knives into her heart. Iâm afraid Miss Angelâs lifelong dream is to marry her cousin, right?â
I smiled as I looked at Xiao Zhiâs smile. It was frozen.
âMadam, why are we beating around the bush? I donât think the five billion is coming out of the presidential palace. Then, Madam can you tell me the origin of this money? Let me know who Iâm competing with. My brain isnât very good, and I donât like guessing. So, why donât we tell each other the truth?â
The president and his wife looked at each other. Xiao Zhiâs smile was very unnatural.
Mr. President laughed and said, âMiss Nanxing, youâre so sharp.â He laughed and said, âI think thereâs a lot of misunderstanding between us. Jing Tian, look at your girlfriend. She must be angry because of Angel. Thereâs a bit of conflict between these two young ladies. Can you help mediate it? How can you just stand aside and watch?
âAngel is raised by your Auntie Zhi. Sheâs a little spoiled, but she is not a bad person. You know that. Families ties are family ties, and business is business. We shouldnât bring emotions into business. You should try to persuade Miss Nanxing.â
Xiao Zhi echoed. âThatâs right, Jing Tian. Iâve already taken a liking to Nanxing. I like her a lot. I know how insensible Angel can be. Look, there have been so many misunderstandings. This isnât good. We canât let the outsiders laugh at us, right?â Gu Nian and Lu Yan suddenly became outsiders.
I glanced at Lu Yan, whose face had already turned the color of a pigâs liver. I felt extremely happy.
Jing Tian said plainly, âI have said it earlier. Iâm here to support Nanxing. Nanxing will have my full support. Auntie Zhi, uncle, you said it yourself. Family ties are family ties, and business is business. We need to split it up more thoroughly! âNanxing is my fiance, so no one should think about bullying her. As for the business matters, itâs more complicated. Nanxing has all the assets under her name, and she has the right to make all the decisions. However, she still needs my approval. I will know whether the business is profitable or not. So donât think about scamming her. Or else, I wonât be happy.â
I turned my head and smiled sweetly at Jing
Tian,
My confidence came from Jing Tianâs unconditional support.
