Campus Ace Girl
Chapter 852 - 853: The Banquet, Open and Hidden Struggles 3
King Jingyao felt MMP inside.
His gaze fell on that little bastard’s face, and the little bastard even dared to wink at him. Having told such a blatant lie in public, he wasn’t even blushing or nervous, remaining completely calm.
Old brother was about to shut down.
Just as he wanted to retort, the old lady’s voice was particularly cheerful: "Is it that project? I’ve heard Jingyao say that it’s no small thing."
The old lady looked very approving: "That’s a project worth tens of billions, and him giving it to the Bo Family shows he is grateful in his heart. This is very good. Before, I even thought he might give it to the Jiang Family."
As soon as these words were spoken, Jiang Bin nearly spat blood.
Jiang Chaoge was stunned, and then felt extremely resentful in her heart. She was certain that King Jingyao must have considered the Jiang Family before, for the sake of the project, but Gu Anxi was really ruthless. With just a few words, she stole her efforts, right in front of everyone, surely she was lying, using the old lady.
Jiang Chaoge wanted to speak up, but the occasion didn’t allow it, watching helplessly as the cooked duck flew away.
Sure enough, with the old lady’s strong support, King Jingyao pinched his nose and snorted softly, "I am naturally grateful."
The old lady smiled and said to Bo Xichen, "Feel free to tell your father, the Wang Family is not an ungrateful lot, he need not worry."
Initially, Bo Little Uncle was also surprised, then he found it amusing and admiring. Only Anxi could pull off such a slick move, but he also understood a bit, King Jingyao certainly didn’t go all out and completely sever ties with Anxi, he was just cautious and couldn’t let go of his pride.
He just chuckled a bit: "I naturally trust Mr. Wang."
The old lady scolded, "Look, look, they’re all calling him Mr. Wang!"
She then lambasted her own son, "Your doing, all your fine work."
King Jingyao, feeling helpless and amused, kept trying to make amends: ’It’s all my fault, your son apologizes.’
He secretly cast a glance at the little bastard—
What audacity, these old folks normally don’t go out and wouldn’t bother respecting Jiang Chaoge, let alone with this falling on the Wang Family’s head today, surely tonight’s whole show couldn’t be done without this little bastard’s hand, just thinking about it made him want to isolate, he’s his own son, and it’s come to this.
He was angry, but the old lady was satisfied and said to Jiang Chaoge: ’Alright, they are siblings who have reconciled, in the future, you should get along well with Anxi, she loves your cooking. So, next week, she’ll come to stay at my place for a bit, you dare to show up, perfect chance to build some rapport.’
Jiang Chaoge’s heart skipped a beat.
What kind of rapport to build?
With Gu Anxi?
She hesitated, fearing if King Jingyao would come, and afraid if he wouldn’t...
Meanwhile, Old Wang brother touched his nose, deciding to stay busy this period, he didn’t want to see Jiang Chaoge every day, dealing with her occasionally was tiring enough. He planned to have Jingchuan fill up his schedule.
Weighing everything, Jiang Chaoge still declined, "Old lady, I’ll wait until I finish this busy period, I need to work on a project soon."
With her saying so, Jiang Bin felt relieved.
For crying out loud, a project worth tens of billions was snatched away, and now the old lady wanted Jiang Family people to cook for Gu Anxi, this old lady was truly wicked, he finally understood after watching for so long.
This business about recognizing Jiang Chaoge as the daughter-in-law, bah, she wasn’t even really considered.
Jiang Bin understood, yet showed no emotion.
A pawn doesn’t need much self-respect, just needs to do what is told.
And at this moment, Jiang Chaoge finally brought the conversation back to the Huaer project, the Jiang Family’s moment of glory was finally about to arrive...
