After learning about the situation at home, Jiang Nian wanted to call Ms Yao Shuqin immediately. However, she still waited, if she is looking for Ms Yao Shuqin, she needs to have proper timing.
The next day, she went to class as usual. She also had dinner with Shen Ming that night. After dinner, they watched a movie together and he drove her back to school.
When getting off, Jiang Nian turned around and suddenly asked him: “Shen Ming, why do you love me?”
Shen Ming looked at her disturbingly and said: “Hurry up. Good night,”
Jiang Nian pouted: “Look, you are so boring. Aren't you afraid that I will leave you?"
Shen Ming’s eyes slightly widened and Jiang Nian could feel the coldness radiating from his body.
However, she was not one to fear death. She hit his arm and repeated, “Are you not afraid?”
Shen Ming squeezed her cheeks: “Where am I boring?”
Jiang Nian used her fingers to count the things on the top of her head: "You are too busy making money so we have to do things quickly without wasting your precious time. I have to make an appointment a whole week early when I want to watch a movie with you. Sometimes you even have to cancel those due to a work emergency. You are boring and don't have a sense of humour. You plan everything so meticulously that there is no surprise."
Shen Ming decided to quickly shut her up. He moved the palm of his hand from her cheeks to the back of her head.
He then leaned over and kissed her warm lips.
Her lips were soft and tasted like caramel popcorn.
“Is this surprise enough for you?”
“…”
Jiang Nian pushed him away and whispered, “Yes, I am going upstairs.”
There were many people outside watching the show; she didn't want anyone to use this to tease her later.
He chuckled and kissed her lips again.
The man’s warm breath wrapped around her and even the air felt warm.
… When Jiang Nian got out of the car, she almost sprinted upstairs. She tried to ignore the strange eyes around her. Of course, she did not dare to look back. She could feel his eyes boring into her back.
She really can’t stand the man's debauchery, and she is afraid that tomorrow there will be all kinds of rumours flying around.
After taking a shower, Jiang Nian wiped her hair for a while, and finally decided to call Ms Yao Shuqin. She collected all the right emotions and cleared her throat until the phone finally connected. Ms Yao Shuqin's elegant voice came: “Oh? Jiang Nian, this time you approached me. I see that you finally understand.”
Jiang Nian carefully said: “Mrs Shen, I hope that you won't involve my family in the things between me and Shen Ming. They did not do anything wrong.”
Yao Shuqin raised an eyebrow with surprise; she then looked sideways at her husband on the other end of the bed, said: “Jiang Nian, as long as you leave Shen Ming, your family and friends will be safe and sound. In addition, you will get a large sum of money.”
Ms Yao Shuqin's meaning was clear. Jiang Nian's father's forced retirement is just the beginning. If she refuses, it will also affect her other relatives and friends.
“…If, if I disagree?”
“Do you think that there will be any good results between you and Shen Ming? When it all breaks down, you will have nothing. You are a smart person. You should know how to make the right decision.”
Jiang Nian held the phone silently for a long time, “Can you let me think for a while longer?”
Yao Shuqin: “Don’t evade the problem for too long. Sooner or later, you will have to face reality.”
Upon hanging up the phone, Yao Shuqin glanced at her husband and said: "Jiang Nian should cooperate this time.”
Shen Chongshan said: “Smart people know what to do.”
Shen Chongshan is over 50 years old. Because he has always exercised, he has been able to maintain his appearance over the years. He looks quite young for his age. It is just the wrinkles between the eyebrows and the side of his eyes that show traces over the years, but they do not reduce his momentum. At first glance, he looks like an unsmiling and tough man…
Yao Shuqin lied down and thought about it. She said: “If Shen Ming knows about this, I am afraid that he will be furious. Your relationship is too distant. As a result, your father-son relationship will definitely be worse than before. ”
Shen Chongshan put his book down and took off his glasses. He said: "Jiang Nian is not the best candidate as the wife of Shen's future leader…" He paused for a moment, "He is smarter than me, he will come to his senses soon enough."
Yao Shuqin also feels that Jiang Nian is not suitable for her son. It is best for them to separate as soon as possible. Originally, they did not want to get involved in with Shen Ming's personal affairs, but the old man mentioned that he refused to marry Yang's daughter several times. He said that it was because of Jiang Nian. They need to separate them before Shen Ming reaches the age of marriage.
The next day, Jiang Nian got up early, went to class with Lin Xiaoyue, and then went to meet Ms Yao Shuqin at noon.
Lin Xiaoyue saw that Jiang Nian was a bit jumpy today. She enquired: “Jiang Nian, why do I think that you are a bit strange today?”
Jiang Nian immediately thought that maybe she is not able to cover up the anticipation in her eyes?
“How is it strange?”
Lin Xiaoyue touched her chin and looked up and down at Jiang Yan. Jiang Nian wore a simple white T-shirt and jeans with sneakers today. He had a ponytail and wore a baseball cap. This dress-up is not like that of a young woman but that of a thief.
“You usually dress so well when you go on dates with Shen Boss? This is too casual.”
Jiang Nian replied: “Not a date.”
Lin Xiaoyue: “So why did you say that you can't eat with me at noon?"
“Oh, I have something else. Not a date with Shen Ming.”
Not to mention that dressing too well would be an error. After all, she is about to become a small rich woman when she gets that huge sum of money. She needs to be low-key to prevent people from robbing her! She is being precautious and far-sighted.
Just then, her phone rang.
The male lead's voice was as smooth and sexy as ever: "Let's eat lunch at noon after your class?"
Jiang Nian responded after a small pause: “Is it noon today? But I am busy at noon, how about at night?”
Shen Ming seemed to be in shock from being glossed over, and then asked: "Is that lunch plan important?"
Jiang Nian thought seriously about how to reply: “It really is an important matter! It's really no good at noon today, or maybe you should let Xu assistant accompany you at noon. I will come back to you at night."
Shen Ming was quiet for a moment, “OK.”
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Nian waited for school to end and then went to see Ms Yao Shuqin.
The meeting was held at a high-end clubhouse. After entering, the waiter took her to a separate room.
The room had an artificial lake beside it. It looked luxurious.
The beautiful lady Yao Shuqin had been sitting beside the window, holding a teacup. She looked elegant and calm. When she saw Jiang Nian, she smiled slightly: “Sit.”
Jiang Nian sat opposite her. Yao Shuqin poured a cup of tea for her. Jiang Nian took a sip; the tea was fragrant and pleasant. The whole setting felt quite memorable.
Yao Shuqin: “You seem to understand now?”
Jiang Nian put down the teacup and said seriously: “Mrs Shen, must you corner me so much? You have not even asked for Shen Ming’s opinion. Don’t you ever think about his thoughts?”
Yao Shuqin frowned slightly: “You don't need to be concerned with this matter. You just need to tell me, since you have come here, are you willing to leave Shen Ming?”
Jiang Nian gazed at Yao Shuqin and said: “If I promise, will you leave my family and friends alone?”
Yao Shuqin: “Of course. As long as you leave Shen Ming, we will become strangers. After that, why would we care about you?”
After that, Yao Shuqin took a check from her handbag and pushed it towards Jiang Nian.
“Receive it, and it will be like we never met.”
Jiang Nian looked at the cheque: “I will not accept this money.”
She stood up and started leaving.
Yao Shuqin swiftly said: “Jiang Nian, you have to accept this.”
She will be assured only when Jiang Nian receives the money.
Although they have broken up, it is still by force. At least when Jiang Nian receives the money and breaks up with Shen Ming, even if she ends up regretting it, she would not be able to explain why she took the money in the first place. Even if she comes back for reconciliation, Shen Ming would also think that she left him because of money…
Growing up, there were countless people who approached Shen Ming because of his money and fame. The biggest taboo he has is being used by others.
She may not be very close to her son, but she is still very familiar with his type of character.
She wants to clearly and decisively break up the two in such a way that Jiang Nian would never be able to come back.
This truth can easily be seen.
Jiang Nian angrily picked up the check on the table.
On the inside she was screaming with joy: The wait is finally over ! ! !
