While he was entertaining his thoughts, Li Sheng was already stepping inside the parlor. "Nice to meet you, Second Young Master. I'm the manager of the Zhuoyue Creative Agency, Li Sheng."Jin Fengyao straightened his back nonchalantly. "Hello, Manager Li."Li Sheng could feel himself breaking into a cold sweat as he stared at the larger-than-life figure in front of him. He gave out a hollow laugh and said, "Second Young Master, why didn't you inform us about your visit? I would have welcomed you personally if I knew."Jin Fengyao laughed, clearly unbothered. "I happened to be passing by, so I decided to drop by and ask about the progression of the project. Unfortunately, it seems that my timing was poor and I came at a time when you're busy. I hope I didn't disturb you.""Hoho, of course not."Before Li Sheng could reply, Lan Sichen was already answering in his place.Jin Fengyao looked as if he had only just noticed him now and said with surprise, "You are…?"Lan Sichen looked dumbstr
The next day, the Lan Group sped through the entire process and acquired the Zhuoyue Creative Agency at the price tag of 500 million.On the third day, the Jin Group voiced its desire to terminate its contract with the Zhuoyue Creative Agency on the basis that the latter broke its agreement.When he learned of this, Lan Sichen felt like he had just been struck by lightning. Unable to restrain his anger, he said, “Break the agreement? How?”The newly appointed overseer of the Zhuoyue Creative Agency replied in a trembling voice, “When the Jin Group signed the contract with the agency, they specified that the project must be undertaken by an old employee. Unfortunately, this employee was fired and the agency didn’t inform the Jin Group. When they found out, they immediately expressed their desire to terminate the contract.”Suddenly, Lan Sichen had a bad premonition. “What’s the name of that old employee?”The overseer replied, “Jiang… Jiang Sese.”Lan Sichen’s expression turned ghastly
"There must be something wrong with this man's head for him to come to me and say such disgusting words," she thought.What did he mean by even if they were not lovers, they could at least be friends?Unless widowed, all her past lovers would only be her enemies."President Lan, Young Master Lan, Mr. Lan! We're really not close. I don't want to hear you trying to catch up with me. Please leave immediately. I have an errand to run, so don't waste my time."Having said that, Jiang Sese fished out her keys, opened her door, and tried to enter.Lan Sichen, however, pressed down on the door.His expression was dark.Not only did she ignore everything he had said, but she even humiliated him!"Jiang Sese… are you hell-bent on being this heartless?"Rather than getting riled up, Jiang Sese was smiling instead. "Me, heartless? Lan Sichen, what gives you the confidence to say that? Five years ago, when my mother needed money for treatment, I begged for your help. You ignored me and merrily ran
She stopped in her tracks at once and scurried back inside the car.Lan Sichen had already carried Jiang Sese out of the neighborhood entrance by then.The unconscious woman lay limply in his embrace. Her sleeping face lacked her previous thorny distrust and appeared beautifully delicate.Her striking facial features were as lovely as a painting.In this state, she looked exactly like she had six years ago.Back then, she was obedient and easy to control and manipulate.Now, however...Lan Sichen couldn't tolerate her disobedience, sneers, and disgust. The hint of guilt that was barely about to sprout in his heart swiftly wilted."Open the door," he commanded the two bodyguards flanking him in a cold voice.The bodyguards took two steps forward and opened the passenger door as ordered.Lan Sichen stooped down and placed Jiang Sese inside. He was about to straighten his waist and get up.That was when he heard a sudden, loud thumping sound.He looked up at once and saw the bodyguard bes
It wasn't until after a trembling Jiang Nuannuan watched the Maybach disappear into the night that she was able to calm her nerves.Her eyes were wide open from disbelief. Jealousy nearly blinded her.To think that Jiang Sese would be familiar with someone from the Jin family!What gave her the right?What right did a woman who gave birth to another man's child have?Was Jin Fengchen blind? Why did he protect a filthy woman like her so fiercely?Jiang Nuannuan was so confused that she forgot to check on the unconscious Lan Sichen. All she could think about was how Jin Fengchen had carried Jiang Sese away to safety....Jiang Sese didn't know how long she was unconscious. By the time she woke up, she found herself lying down in an unfamiliar room.Startled, she got up and looked around.Then, she felt a soft, hairy creature rubbing against her.Only then did she discover Xiaobao, this time dressed in a cow-shaped onesie.Sighing in relief, she reached out to caress his sleeping face.Ji
Jiang Nuannuan's words made Jiang Zhen frown. "It doesn't matter. We can talk when she returns."They would only get a clear explanation after meeting with Jiang Sese.Displeasure flitted through Jiang Nuannuan's eyes. She knew better than anyone what her father was like; he was someone who prioritized profit above everything.If there was truly an unexplainable relationship between Jiang Sese and the Jin brothers, her father would surely find a way to bring the former back home.How could she let this happen? Never. Everything in their home belonged to her and her alone, and that included Lan Sichen.She had spared so much blood, sweat, and tears to drive Jiang Sese away. She would never let Jiang Sese make a comeback.......Jiang Sese slept through the night peacefully at the villa, where she woke up to a sumptuous breakfast on the dining table the next day.Xiaobao blinked at her and said in his childlike voice, "Auntie Sese, do you have any plans after breakfast? Can you take me o
Jiang Sese never thought that Jiang Zhen would be this shameless. She rejected him at once."Don't you know who Jin Fengchen is? He's not someone you can meet just because I gave him a call. If you want to see him, find your own way."Jiang Sese reached out to open the car door.To her surprise, Jiang Zhen snatched her bag and fished out her phone.She was pissed. "What are you trying to do?"Jiang Zhen refused to believe her. Considering that Jin Fengchen beat up Lan Sichen so badly because of her, he was sure that she was important to the former. "Just what kind of extraordinary luck does this unfilial daughter of mine have," he thought.Since Jiang Sese didn't lock her phone with a pin code, he was able to turn it on without any trouble.He opened the contacts list. Sure enough, he found Jin Fengchen's number inside. He immediately called the number."Give me back my phone!"A furious Jiang Sese reached out to snatch her phone, but she couldn't stop Jiang Zhen thanks to the bodyguar
With a trace of amusement in her eyes, Jiang Nuannuan said slowly, "It's not that big of a deal, but a few years ago, my sister gave bir…"Even though Jiang Nuannuan didn't finish her sentence, Jiang Sese knew what the rest of her words would entail.Her heart sank. She could feel the nerves in her brain snapping.She clenched her fists tightly.Why?She could take all their humiliation in the past, but why, after all this while, wouldn't they let her be? Why...Any second now, Jiang Nuannuan would continue the rest of her words. Her pupils shrank and the next thing she knew, she was already rushing up to Jiang Nuannuan and slapping her in the face.Her face was dark and her voice ice-cold as she asked, "Aren't you done yet?"Just a second ago, Jiang Nuannuan was happily looking forward to seeing Jin Fengchen dump Jiang Sese. The sudden slap completely stupefied her.She clutched her cheek and looked at Jiang Sese. This was the second time this woman had slapped her since they reunited
