Jiang Jingchen called Yang Hao to ask about progress of Project G.
Yang Hao reported that they were making progress and working very well with the Wen family.
Although Wen Sang was a good pretender, her capabilities made him look at women differently.
Jiang Jingchen told Yang Hao something embarrassing.
He blocked Wen Sangâs number on his phone. She couldnât contact him, investigated him as a result and found his other identity.
Yang Hao replied, âTsk. Mr. Chen, youâve never blocked anyone before, right? Have you become so pretentious now that youâre married?â
Theoretically, Wen Sang was a collaborator. It was not very nice to block her.
âIâm proud that Iâm married. Just tell me straight if youâre envious.â
â⦠Sheâs our collaborator after all.â
âIâm trying to avoid contact with her. I canât guess whatâs on her mind but if she cozies up to me, she must be up to no good.â
Wen Sang never contacted him before but now that she was so enthusiastic after she uncovered his other identity, she must want something from him. She would only do things that were worth her while.
Jiang Jingchen hung up the phone and walked out of the office building. He took out his car keys and was about to open his car door.
âBrother Jingchen, long time no see.â
Jiang Jingchenâs eyelids twitched when he saw Wen Sang smiling at him from not far away.
âMiss Wen, what can I do for you?â
âDonât be so formal. Weâre friends. Just call me Xiaosang like when we were young.â
Jiang Jingchen said expressionlessly, âMiss Wen, youâre too kind. Weâve all grown up. We havenât seen each other for so many years, so we donât really know each other that well.â
Wen Sang was slightly annoyed. âBrother Jingchen, we were playmates when we were kids. Why do you have to keep me at armâs length? We can still be friends after weâve grown up, right?â
âMiss Wen, why are you looking for me?â
Wen Sang said with a smile, âI already told you. I want to buy you dinner. Go and pick up your wife now. Come on, letâs go and pick her up together.â âMiss Wen, youâve already investigated my schedule. How thorough of you.â Wen Sang did not get upset at his sarcasm. She said calmly, âYou kept rejecting me and even blocked me. I donât know what Iâve done to make you hate me that you have to treat me like this.â
âIâm married, so Iâm keeping my distance from other women. If my hand slips they get blocked.â
If Miss Wen is unhappy, you can block me as well. Consider it revenge. I definitely wonât be upset.â
He would say anything just to keep his distance from her.
She had finally gotten his number, so how could she bear to block him?
âBrother Jingchen, must you do this? I just want to treat you and sister-in-law to a simple meal and catch up. 1 donât have any other intentions.â She sounded aggrieved, as if he had done something unforgivable.
Any other men would be moved when they saw Wen Sangâs humble posture with such a delicate expression, as if tears would fall the minute she blinked.
However, Jiang Jingchen only had eyes for his wife. He would only be annoyed if other women cried in front of him.
âMiss Wen, weâve both grown up. You should understand that many things have changed. Thereâs nothing to catch up on.â
Wen Sang shook her head and said, âBrother Jingchen, I donât think so. Didnât you spend so much effort to help the Wen family get Project G to take revenge on Jiang Xing and embarrass him?â
âAs the successor of the Wen Family, I can help you.â
Wen Sang looked at him seriously like a professional negotiator.
âI didnât help you for nothing. I want to succeed the Wen Family but many elders in the family think that Iâm a girl and donât deserve this position, and made things difficult for me.â
-Jiang Jingchen, I also need your help. Iâll help you take down the Jiang family but you must also help me secure my position as the successor of the Wen family!â
Jiang Jingchenâs mouth twitched. He had long guessed that Wen Sang had ulterior motives when she tried so hard to get in touch with him.
With Feng Jiâs help, she joined the upper echelons of society by herself.
However, that circle was overseas. No matter how well her business flourished overseas, most of the Wen family businesses were based in China.
Without securing the base, any branches that grew would not be able to last long.
âWhat makes you think that Iâll help you?â
âBecause you chose to work with the Wen family. We are in the same boat now.
If it sinks, we will go down together.â
Jiang Jingchen, in the spirit of transparency, I admire your talent and ability.
You grew CJ in just a few years and devoured so many other companies along the way, to a point where many established businesses are afraid of you.â âMr. Chen has always been someone I adore and admire.â
âWhen I found out that Jiang Jingchen is the Brother Jingchen Iâve grown up with, I was surprised and happy. Thatâs why I tried so hard to become your collaborator.â
Jiang Jingchen sneered in his heart. This woman would say anything to get what she wanted.
âMiss Wen, youâve really put your heart into it.â
He chuckled and got into the car.
Wen Sang walked up to his car and smiled. âI admit that Iâve played some tricks and offended you. I apologize.â
âBut I also know that Mr. Chen is very capable. If I didnât prove my worth, how can I catch Mr. Chenâs attention for you to work with me?â
âBrother Jingchen, desperate times calls for desperate measures. Iâm inviting you to dinner as an apology.â
âOkay. Iâll go pick up my wife.â
Wen Sang smiled and was about to open the door to the front passenger seat but Jiang Jingchen locked all doors.
âMiss Wen, please take your car. I donât give rides to other women in my car without my wifeâs permission.â
âMiss Wen is generous, graceful, and virtuous. You wonât mind my wifeâs childish temper, right?â
Wen Sangâs face darkened slightly but she had to pretend since she was dignified and virtuous.
âAlright, Iâll follow you in my car.â
The moment she turned around, her smile disappeared, and her face turned into one of intense jealousy and her eyes were ruthless.
She would use her methods to snatch whatever she wanted back.
Jiang Jingchen drove to the dance studio and got out of the car.
He went to the training studio first to check. They were still practicing a classical dance.
Tang Beibei was dancing with a fan in her hand. No matter what she did, the fan never left her hand. Her footsteps were light, and lotus flowers seemed to bloom wherever she stepped on. Her slender fingers were wrapped around the fan and when she spun, the fan spun with her.
Tang Beibei also spotted him. She smiled and waved at him. Her grip on the fan relaxed and she dropped it. She quickly picked it up with an adorable, flustered look.
Jiang Jingchen gestured for her to continue with her training while he waited outside.
Wen Sang walked in and asked, âWhereâs your wife?â
âSheâs training inside.â
Wen Sang glanced at the dance studio and couldnât help but say with envy, âI also had my hobbies back then. But I promised Grandpa that I would take care of the family, so I gave everything up.â
Jiang Jingchen said perfunctorily that it was a pity and started playing games on his phone.
Wen Sang smiled at him and said, âBrother Jingchen, do you know what I liked at that time? Ice-skating. You even took me once.â
âReally? I donât remember.â
Jiang Jingchen did not remember clearly what happened before he was seventeen. After all, his life after seventeen was too tragic. There werenât many people and things that he wanted to remember.
âItâs okay if you donât remember. We can go ice-skating together again when we have time.â
Jiang Jingchen continued to play his game. âIâm not interested.â
It would be childish to do things that he used to do when he was seventeen. He was indeed not interested.
âOh, thatâs a pity.â
Wen Sang was a little disappointed. She looked at him with her chin propped.
When Tang Beibei finished dance training and walked out with her bag, she saw Jiang Jingchen sitting with a woman, who was looking at him withâ infatuation.
She frowned. Hmph, her husband was too handsome. He would attract bees and butterflies wherever he went!
She ran over and grabbed his hand.
âHubby, my class is over.â
âHey. Tsk.â
Tang Berberâs sudden grab on his hand caused him to make a mistake in his game. He looked at her helplessly.
âObedient Beibei, Iâm playing a game.â
Tang Berber didnât know how to play games, so she apologized helplessly, âIâm sorry. I didnât do it on purpose.â
He was the one who said that she had to hold on to him tightly, or he might be lured away.?? &
Jiang Jingchen pulled her into his arms, sat her on his lap, and wrapped her arms around him.
âDonât grab my hand. Hug me like this. Iâve already lost this game. Let me win one game before we leave, okay?â
Men were always competitive when it came to games.
Sitting in the manâs embrace, she could not reject him. She could only watch him play another game..
