The spacious meeting room was silent, and the mood was suppressed. Jin Fengchen sat there wordlessly. However, his imposing aura was still palpable. Even the directors who had seen it all were full of apprehension. Fang Yuchen looked around him before he cleared his throat lightly. “Everybody, Chairman Jin is here to attend our meeting today. If any of you have any opinions on the matter, you may speak now.” The directors all looked at each other before they lowered their heads and kept quiet. Fang Yiming smiled cynically when he saw this. What a bunch of useless old farts. He turned to look at Fang Cheng, who caught his meaning and stood. “Yuchen, this is a meeting of the Fang Group. It will involve our trade secrets. Would it not be inappropriate for Chairman Jin to participate?”Fang Yanxin looked at Fang Yanming and smiled. “Eldest Uncle, aren’t you being a little bit inappropriate? Chairman Jin is basically family.” Fang Cheng and Fang Yiming could not expect that
When Jiang Sese and the others arrived at the hospital, the doctor was doing his usual examination on Old Man Fang. Fang Xueman stood by and watched. They talked about Old Man Fang’s condition before placing the lunchboxes on the coffee table for Fang Xueman to eat something and regain her strength. Fang Xueman nodded in agreement. Shang Ying noticed her dour mood. She wanted to talk to Fang Xueman privately. Jiang Sese and Jin Fengchen left of their own accord and went downstairs to take a walk. Jiang Sese intertwined her hand with Jin Fengchen’s. She turned her head and asked, “Is Yuchen okay?” “Yeah.” “You’re lying.” Jiang Sese narrowed her eyes. “There must be a reason that he asked you to the Fang Group.” Jin Fengchen smiled. “You’re thinking too much. There’s really nothing going on. We were just talking about our future partnership.” “Really? Don’t lie to me.” “Yeah, I’m not lying.” Jin Fengchen wrapped his arm around her shoulder and bent his waist slightly. H
Although his eyes were glued to Jiang Sese, Jin Fengchen did not forget to greet politely as he approached. “Youngest Aunt.”Shang Ying smiled back. “You’re here.”She turned to Jiang Sese. “You should head over there, Yuchen should be waiting for you.”Jin Fengchen responded with an “Okay”, then took Jiang Sese's hand.“Youngest Aunt, we’ll be leaving now. You have a safe trip back too,” said Jiang Sese.Shang Ying smiled, “Alright.”As they left, Shang Ying called for the driver to pick her up.…After getting in the car, Jiang Sese tugged on her shawl, pursed his lips, and turned to the man sitting in the driver's seat. She asked, “Do I look overboard?”Jin Fengchen did not answer.Jiang Sese could not help but frown. “What? It looks ugly, right?”She did not notice the hidden glimmer in Jin Fengchen’s eyes. In a flash, her vision went dark and something tightened around her waist.Before she could react, something warm was placed on her lips.Just when Jiang Sese felt
“What the hell are you doing? Let me go!” Jiang Sese struggled to break free of his grasp.However, he was too strong. She was no match for Fang Yanqin.“Fengchen!”She had no other choice but to call out for help.It was noisy all around and they were in a corner of the hall. Her voice was completely drowned out and Jin Fengchen, who was talking to someone, could not hear her at all.“No one can hear you,” Fang Yanqin smiled triumphantly.“Fang Yanqin! I’m your cousin. Are you crazy?” Jiang Sese glared at him.She had noticed him looking strangely at her from the start, but she did not think too much about it. She did not expect him to be so brazen in his actions.“I just wanted to have a chat.”Looking at Fang Yanqin’s grin, Jiang Sese panicked and started struggling again. “Let me go!”“My dear cousin, you’re making me sad.”Fang Yanqin pulled her closer to him, then lowered his head.Jiang Sese trembled all over. She struggled with all her might and shut her eyes subcon
Fang Yuchen smiled. “Are you two…”He chose his words carefully, “Are you two available right now?”Jiang Sese nodded. “Yes.”“Then come with me, I would like you to meet someone.”Fang Yuchen then turned around.“Let's head over too,” said Jiang Sese.Jin Fengchen turned to look. He saw Fang Yuchen walk toward a man, say something to him, and the two looked over at them simultaneously.“Fengchen, what’s wrong?” asked Jiang Sese when she saw that he stopped moving.“It’s nothing. Let’s go over,” said Jin Fengchen as he took her hand.“Alright.”Seeing Jin Fengchen and Jiang Sese approaching, Shangguan Qian straightened his tie. When they reached him, he extended his right hand. “Chairman Jin, I’m Shangguan Qian.”“Nice to meet you.” Jin Fengchen shook his hand.“Hello, Missus Jin.” Shangguan Qian nodded toward Jiang Sese.Jiang Sese responded with a generous smile. “Nice to meet you.”“Mister Shangguan is the host of tonight’s charity banquet. The Shangguan family and the
“I would not let him off that easily too,” said Jiang Sese icily.Everyone in the Fang family, be they Fang Yiming, Fang Yanxin, or Fang Yuchen, were praised by others.Only Fang Yanqin was ‘different’.There was no lack of scandals surrounding him. From female celebrities to models, the women around him were always different.He was the perfect depiction of the hedonistic son of wealthy parents.An idea suddenly flashed in Jiang Sese’s mind.She immediately felt amused and laughed softly.Jin Fengchen glanced at her and saw that she was giggling foolishly. The laughter infected him as well as he smiled and asked, “What’s so funny?”“I thought of a way to teach Fang Yanqin a lesson,” she said.“Oh?” Jin Fengchen arched his eyebrows. “How so?”“It's…”Jiang Sese was about to reveal her plan but paused and immediately changed her words. “You will know when the time comes. I won't tell you now.”He did not expect her to say that. Jin Fengchen was obviously stunned, but he quic
“Just a little misunderstanding?”Fang Xueman did not believe it.Based on what she knew about her brother and sister-in-law, they would never have come in person to apologize if it was merely a misunderstanding.Not unless it was something much more serious.“It’s just a misunderstanding, Mother,” Jiang Sese said as she smiled helplessly.In order to prevent her mother from asking further, she said, “They only came to apologize because I’m part of the Jin family, and Jin Fengchen’s wife.”Only then did Fang Xueman make the connection.It was indeed something her brother and sister-in-law would do, solely just to not offend the Jin family. “Are you sure you aren’t lying to me?” Fang Xueman stared suspiciously at Jiang Sese.Jiang Sese smiled and hugged her shoulders. “Why would I lie to you?”“Of course you would lie to me.” Fang Xueman gave her an exasperated stare.Although her lies were meant for her not to worry, as a mother, she still hoped that her daughter would not
Jiang Sese could not help but feel a little sad, “I… How are you?”No matter what he did, in her heart, he would always be her family.“Not good. Not good at all.”She did not know what to say.Fu Jingyun chuckled lightly, “However, I’m fine as long as you’re fine.”Jiang Sese’s heart could not help but ache. She took a deep breath and held back her tears. She smiled and said, “I'm fine, don't worry.”“That's good.”They both fell silent after that.After a long moment, Jiang Sese finally said, “Go back and see your parents if you can. They’re really worried.”“I know. Tell Jin Fengchen if he can't take care of you, I will take over.”Jiang Sese broke into a smile. “Don't worry, he’ll take care of me.”Fu Jingyun looked out the window at the night sky with a sad expression. “That’s all then. Goodbye.”Before Jiang Sese could react, he had hung up.He slowly lowered his head, a bitter smile forming on the corner of his lips.He and Sese had drifted further and further apar
