Wen Nanâs face turned pale when she heard the manâs threat.
âI didnât mean it that way. 1 just wanted to chat with Beibei, but she was so hostile that 1 lost control and said some words. 1 didnât do it on purpose. Iâm sorry, Mr. Chen.â
Jiang Jingchen let out a casual chuckle.
âWen Nan, your apology is worthless.â
Wen Nan panicked and pleaded, âMr. Chen, I really just said those things to Beibei in a fit of anger. I didnât mean to betray you. You asked me to move out of the villa and I obediently moved out. Mr. Chen, please believe me.â
Jiang Jingchen put down his book, took off his mask, and took a sip of coffee.
Wen Nanâs eyes widened in surprise when she saw him take off his mask in public and there were no scars on his face.
âMr. Chen, youâve stopped disguising yourself?â
âYouâve already let my secret out. Thereâs no point disguising anymore.â Jiang Jingchenâs tone was filled with disdain as he put down his coffee.
âSong Zhou, get me another cup of coffee. This oneâs too bitter.â
Song Zhou was surprised. âYoung Master, didnât you prefer bitter coffee?â
Jiang Jingchen rested his chin on one hand and replied unhurriedly, âPeople change. Before I got married, some people thought they could bully others just because 1 didnât call out their little tricks.â
There were women who tried to get close to Jiang Jingchen when Wen Nan treated him in the past. But they were all chased away by Wen Nan, in her capacity as his girlfriend.
At that time, he indulged Wen Nanâs behavior because he didnât want to be bothered by women.
However, he was married now, yet Wen Nan continued with her bullying behavior and even made a few mistakes. She was just asking for a lesson!
Song Zhou glanced at Wen Nan and said respectfully, âOkay, 1â11 get you a different coffee.â
Jiang Jingchen looked at Wen Nan and asked, âHow much did you tell Jiang Minglang about me?â
âNo, no, 1 swear, I didnât say a word, Mr. Chen.â Wen Nan raised her hand.
âReally? Youâve been hanging out with Jiang Minglang for so long and you didnât say a word about me?â
Wen Nan replied, âNo, 1 know why Jiang Minglang cozied up to me, and I also know that you want to deal with him, so why would 1 tell him about your plan?â
She knew that Jiang Jingchen was a cold man. If she couldnât get his support, she could only ask Jiang Minglang to help.
She also knew what Jiang Minglang was up to. Once she told him about Jiang Jingchen, she would be worthless to him, so she couldnât tell him.
âItâs best if you hadnât said anything. Wen Nan, you know how powerful I am. Itâs just a simple order if 1 wanted you dead.â
Wen Nan nodded respectfully. She had seen with her own eyes how Jiang Jingchen had asked Song Zhou to take care of people. She was terrified of him.
âI know. I wouldnât dare.â
âMr. Chen, then, about the Wen family, will youâ¦â
Jiang Jingchen glared at her coldly and Wen Nan quickly shut up, feeling depressed.
His expression clearly showed that he wasnât going to help her. He had gone crazy because of Tang Beibei.
âWen Nan, you should know your place. Donât touch things that you shouldnât.â
Wen Nan understood. He was warning her not to provoke Tang Beibei, which made her even angrier.
She used to be the only woman by his side but since Tang Beibei appeared, the situation had completely gone out of control. She could not accept the stark difference and hated Tang Beibei even more.
âI understand, Mr. Chen.â
Song Zhou brought over a fresh cup of coffee but Jiang Jingchen stood up and said, âGive the coffee to Wen Nan. From now on, weâll have nothing to do with each other.â
Wen Nan felt bitter. She looked at the cup of coffee and was in no mood to take it.
âMr. Chen, why do you like Tang Beibei? Iâm no worse than her.â
Jiang Jingchen looked at her condescendingly. âHuh? What does my wife have to do with you?â
âNo matter what, Iâve taken care of you for a few years. You know long ago that I liked you. Why wonât you accept me?â Wen Nan asked indignantly.
Jiang Jingchen replied, âMaybe itâs because youâre too ugly?â
âYour face is so disgusting that 1 canât take it. Youâre disgusting!â
Since she mentioned that she had been by his side for a few years, she should know his personality well. She was just asking for humiliation when she asked such a question.
Wen Nan was boiling with rage when the man she liked humiliated her like that.
But she wouldnât act impudent to his face. She could only hold back her tears and watch him leave.
Jiang Jingchen had derogated her today. She would make him regret what he said today when she had power!
Jiang Jingchen got into the car and said to Song Zhou, âTell Jiang Minglang about my meeting with Wen Nan and throw in some scandals about Wen Nan.â âAlright, Iâll contact Yang Hao.â
âTell Yang Hao to be careful. Although Jiang Minglang is stupid, it doesnât mean that there arenât smart people around him.â
After all, Jiang Minglang held an important position in the company. There must be some smart people around him. The reason why the Jiang Corporation could become so big was not because of any specific leader but because of the management system of the company.
âIâll remind Yang Hao. However, this kid is also very cunning.â
âYes, I know. Iâd give him top recognition if he took down Jiang Corporation!â
Song Zhou contacted Yang Hao. Yang Hao was so busy that he couldnât help but complain when he heard Song Zhouâs request.
âSince Mr. Chen is so free at home, can he help me with some work? Iâm so busy that 1 donât even have time to sleep!â
Song Zhou rubbed his nose. His young master had indeed been idling recently but if they wanted him to work, they would have to give him something. Otherwise, he would spend all his time studying how to pamper his wife.
âGet someone to mail it over. Make sure the package is well-disguised. No one can find out that we are in contact. Mr. Chenâs identity canât be exposed yet.â
âDonât worry about that. Mr. Chen is the most cunning fox I know. Even if something went wrong with his plan, itâs not going to be me.â
Yang Hao couldnât help but added, âBy the way, can you find an opportunity for me to meet the young madam?â
Song Zhou cleared his throat. âYou should focus on your work. Itâs useless thinking about a woman whoâs not yours.â
Song Zhou hung up the phone and went back to Jiang Jingchen and told him fawningly, âYoung Master, youâre in a good mood today, so you should reward yourself with some documents. Yang Hao said he couldnât understand them, so he asked you to take a look.â
âAre you trying to trick me into working? Iâm not in the mood.â
Song Zhou was anxious. âThen what are you in the mood for? Young Madam has already gone to school. Arenât you bored in the villa alone?â
Jiang Jingchenâs face darkened, and he sneered. âMe bored? Iâm busy thinking about my wife. How can I have the time to read those documents? Iâm not free!â
Song Zhou was so angry that he wanted to yank off the steering wheel. He wanted to wake up the man who used to work day and night.
âYoung Master, think about it. Youâve started having sex with Young Madam, you may have a baby soon. If you work now, you can earn more money to buy milk powder for the baby.â
âAlso, it takes quite a bit of money to take good care of Young Madam. The weather is turning cold, and youâll have to buy new clothes for Young Madam. Thatâs another expense of unknown amount.â
Song Zhou tried to persuade him with head as well as heart, hoping that the young master would heed his advice.
Jiang Jingchen smiled when he heard Song Zhou mention baby. âLeave the documents in the study, but before I get to work, 1 must go get my wife some early winter clothes..â
