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 Sang’s number on his phone. She couldn’t contact him, investigated him as a result and found his other identity.
Yang Hao replied, “Tsk. Mr. Chen, you’ve never blocked anyone before, right? Have you become so pretentious now that you’re married?”
Theoretically, Wen Sang was a collaborator. It was not very nice to block her.
“I’m proud that I’m married. Just tell me straight if you’re envious.”
“… She’s our collaborator after all.”
“I’m trying to avoid contact with her. I can’t guess what’s on her mind but if she cozies up to me, she must be up to no good.”
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.
“Brother Jingchen, long time no see.”
Jiang Jingchen’s eyelids twitched when he saw Wen Sang smiling at him from not far away.
“Miss Wen, what can I do for you?”
“Don’t be so formal. We’re friends. Just call me Xiaosang like when we were young.”
Jiang Jingchen said expressionlessly, “Miss Wen, you’re too kind. We’ve all grown up. We haven’t seen each other for so many years, so we don’t really know each other that well.”
Wen Sang was slightly annoyed. “Brother Jingchen, we were playmates when we were kids. Why do you have to keep me at arm’s length? We can still be friends after we’ve grown up, right?”
“Miss Wen, why are you looking for me?”
Wen Sang said with a smile, “I already told you. I want to buy you dinner. Go and pick up your wife now. Come on, let’s go and pick her up together.” “Miss Wen, you’ve already investigated my schedule. How thorough of you.” Wen Sang did not get upset at his sarcasm. She said calmly, “You kept rejecting me and even blocked me. I don’t know what I’ve done to make you hate me that you have to treat me like this.”
“I’m married, so I’m keeping my distance from other women. If my hand slips they get blocked.”
If Miss Wen is unhappy, you can block me as well. Consider it revenge. I definitely won’t be upset.”
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?
“Brother Jingchen, must you do this? I just want to treat you and sister-in-law to a simple meal and catch up. 1 don’t have any other intentions.” She sounded aggrieved, as if he had done something unforgivable.
Any other men would be moved when they saw Wen Sang’s 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.
“Miss Wen, we’ve both grown up. You should understand that many things have changed. There’s nothing to catch up on.”
Wen Sang shook her head and said, “Brother Jingchen, I don’t think so. Didn’t you spend so much effort to help the Wen family get Project G to take revenge on Jiang Xing and embarrass him?”
“As the successor of the Wen Family, I can help you.”
Wen Sang looked at him seriously like a professional negotiator.
“I didn’t help you for nothing. I want to succeed the Wen Family but many elders in the family think that I’m a girl and don’t deserve this position, and made things difficult for me.”
-Jiang Jingchen, I also need your help. I’ll help you take down the Jiang family but you must also help me secure my position as the successor of the Wen family!”
Jiang Jingchen’s 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 Ji’s 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.
“What makes you think that I’ll help you?”
“Because you chose to work with the Wen family. We are in the same boat now.
If it sinks, we will go down together.”
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.” “Mr. Chen has always been someone I adore and admire.”
“When I found out that Jiang Jingchen is the Brother Jingchen I’ve grown up with, I was surprised and happy. That’s why I tried so hard to become your collaborator.”
Jiang Jingchen sneered in his heart. This woman would say anything to get what she wanted.
“Miss Wen, you’ve really put your heart into it.”
He chuckled and got into the car.
Wen Sang walked up to his car and smiled. “I admit that I’ve played some tricks and offended you. I apologize.”
“But I also know that Mr. Chen is very capable. If I didn’t prove my worth, how can I catch Mr. Chen’s attention for you to work with me?”
“Brother Jingchen, desperate times calls for desperate measures. I’m inviting you to dinner as an apology.”
“Okay. I’ll go pick up my wife.”
Wen Sang smiled and was about to open the door to the front passenger seat but Jiang Jingchen locked all doors.
“Miss Wen, please take your car. I don’t give rides to other women in my car without my wife’s permission.”
“Miss Wen is generous, graceful, and virtuous. You won’t mind my wife’s childish temper, right?”
Wen Sang’s face darkened slightly but she had to pretend since she was dignified and virtuous.
“Alright, I’ll follow you in my car.”
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, “Where’s your wife?”
“She’s training inside.”
Wen Sang glanced at the dance studio and couldn’t help but say with envy, “I also had my hobbies back then. But I promised Grandpa that I would take care of the family, so I gave everything up.”
Jiang Jingchen said perfunctorily that it was a pity and started playing games on his phone.
Wen Sang smiled at him and said, “Brother Jingchen, do you know what I liked at that time? Ice-skating. You even took me once.”
“Really? I don’t remember.”
Jiang Jingchen did not remember clearly what happened before he was seventeen. After all, his life after seventeen was too tragic. There weren’t many people and things that he wanted to remember.
“It’s okay if you don’t remember. We can go ice-skating together again when we have time.”
Jiang Jingchen continued to play his game. “I’m not interested.”
It would be childish to do things that he used to do when he was seventeen. He was indeed not interested.
“Oh, that’s a pity.”
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 with’ 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.
“Hubby, my class is over.”
“Hey. Tsk.”
Tang Berber’s sudden grab on his hand caused him to make a mistake in his game. He looked at her helplessly.
“Obedient Beibei, I’m playing a game.”
Tang Berber didn’t know how to play games, so she apologized helplessly, “I’m sorry. I didn’t do it on purpose.”
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.
“Don’t grab my hand. Hug me like this. I’ve already lost this game. Let me win one game before we leave, okay?”
Men were always competitive when it came to games.
Sitting in the man’s embrace, she could not reject him. She could only watch him play another game..
