Chapter 152 Dilemma
The man's voice was still low and slow, but his accent was clearly more difficult to handle than before.
Jiang Wan felt that her whole body was surrounded by his aura like pine wood after snow. Her white and tender fingertips almost subconsciously pressed against his chest, and her heart was pounding violently.
"Then I was wrong. You didn't bully me."
"So, can you please be so magnanimous and let me go first and stop arguing with me..."
It was obvious that she was in the wrong first, and Jiang Wan did not dare to provoke Ji Xingjing again under such circumstances, so she naturally showed weakness without hesitation.
Ji Xingjing took in all the pitiful look she put on so easily, and a barely perceptible smile flashed across his eyes.
After staring at her for a moment, he actually let go of her hand and said slowly, "Let's go to the dinner."
Jiang Wan was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted. He said goodbye to him quickly and went straight into the elevator.
When she turned around, she saw Cheng Li walking towards her, and she knew that the man must have something important to do.
As for herself, she actually didn't have to go to the dinner party or not. After all, the purpose of her coming here tonight had already been achieved.
Now she can basically confirm that Meng Huainian is connected to Ronghui Group.
I just don’t know what Ji Xingjing thinks about this. The man also saw the two of them walking together just now…
But it is actually very normal for business leaders like Meng Huainian and Pan Xiulin to communicate with each other, and it doesn't mean anything.
If Meng really meets the conditions for cooperation and has sufficient funds, it would be normal to allow him to invest.
This is the crux of the matter.
If there is nothing unreasonable at all, then I don’t know where to start blocking it.
It would have been fine if he didn't know, but now that he knows, Jiang Wan certainly can't bear to watch Meng Huainian get what he wanted.
She was passive these days, but she gradually realized that Ji Xingjing seemed to be indulging her to some extent.
To be more precise, Jiang Wan even had the illusion that the other party was deliberately trying to get her closer.
This illusion is undoubtedly dangerous to her now, but also very attractive.
The success of the project, after all, is just a matter of Ji Xingjing's words.
But no matter what the truth is, it is a private matter. Jiang Wan does not understand and dare not rashly explore what kind of bottom line and taboos men have in their work and important projects.
As I was thinking this, the elevator door slowly opened with a ding and arrived at the third floor.
She quickly collected her thoughts, walked out of the elevator and headed towards the banquet hall.
Most of the people who were attending the promotion meeting have already arrived. The lights are dim among the well-dressed people, and most of them are entrepreneurs chatting and greeting each other.
The moment Jiang Wan stepped into the banquet hall, many people quickly noticed her presence.
There was a meeting before the dinner, so most of the participants were dressed quite formally.
Jiang Wan came with a purpose, so her clothes were of course very low-key. She wore an ordinary apricot silk shirt, a pencil skirt that reached her slender white calves, and lace-up high heels.
But she has such a great figure that even the most ordinary clothes still look soft and graceful on her, and naturally pleasing to the eye, not to mention her face which is so beautiful that it even gives people a strong sensory impact.
The young talent who had noticed her at the promotion meeting no longer needed to worry about the occasion and went straight up to her to start a conversation.
Fu Chi saw this scene from afar and of course found it dazzling.
But after what happened before, he knew very well that Jiang Wan would not have anything to do with the men present.
Besides, he had no right to disturb.
Jiang Wan didn't have any good feelings towards him now. He always approached her rashly, which made her annoyed, not to mention that Meng Shuyi was also present.
He will not take the initiative to look for Jiang Wan again until he has completely given up on Meng Shuyi and has enough confidence to compete with those men.
Ji Ruzheng was right about one thing. Before resolving Meng Shuyi's issue, his approach to Jiang Wan would only bring her trouble.
Thinking of this, he looked at Meng Huainian in front of him and asked, "I wonder if you have discussed the matter I mentioned to you, Uncle Meng, a few days ago with Shuyi?"
What Fu Chi didn't notice at all was that Meng Huainian withdrew his gaze from Jiang Wan almost at the same time as he did.
After hearing his words, a complex expression flashed across Meng Huainian's eyes, and he smiled somewhat helplessly.
"I talked to your Aunt Meng about this matter that night, but you also know that she has liked you since she was a child. It has been so many years, how can she give up so easily."
"Why not give her some more time to adjust?"
Fu Chi rarely showed a cold look in front of him, and raised the corners of his lips: "You should know that I have given her a lot of time."
"She is pestering me now and even asking around about my whereabouts, which makes it very difficult for me."
Meng Huainian's face changed slightly: "Fu Chi, Shuyi is my only daughter. She is sincere to you. You describe her as clinging to you. Isn't that too much?"
Fu Chi lowered his eyes and shook the wine glass in his hand, sneering: "In the past, I felt that she was sincere to me, and I also took into account the friendship between our two families for so many years, so I couldn't be cruel to her. That's why she felt that she had found my weakness and threatened to commit suicide."
“But I don’t think so now.”
"Uncle Meng, why don't you be fair and say, does she really like me, or does she just treat me as her property?"
Meng Huainian looked a little ugly.
Meng Shuyi is his daughter, and Fu Chi's words were undoubtedly a slap in his face.
But the Meng family is no longer the same as before, and the Hengdong Group is developing more steadily. He still needs to rely on his relationship with the Fu family to get things done. Naturally, he cannot ruin his relationship with Fu Chi because of his daughter's unrequited love.
He just didn't expect that Fu Chi hadn't even graduated yet and had just taken power for a short time, but there was already a hint of oppression in his eyes.
Meng Huainian stared at Fu Chi for a moment before he raised his hand, patted his shoulder, and sighed softly.
"I understand. Don't worry. I will discipline her well this time and explain it clearly to her."
Fu Chi raised his lips calmly and clinked his wine glass with his.
"Then I'll trouble Uncle Meng."
"You know, I've been very busy lately. If I keep distracting myself with things like this, how can I have the spare time to handle the things you asked me to do, right?"
The smile in Meng Huainian's eyes froze for a moment, but it was only for a moment.
He nodded quickly and whispered, "You're right."
*
Meng Shuyi was completely unaware of the conversation between Fu Chi and her father.
She sat in the corner, staring at Jiang Wan who was constantly being talked to, and occasionally glanced at Fu Chi who seemed not to have even looked at Jiang Wan. Her rosy lips were tightly pursed, and her eyes were somewhat gloomy.
Although the two good friends in the circle know that she sometimes has a bad temper, she is pure and kind most of the time.
This was the first time they saw Meng Shuyi showing such an expression. They looked at each other and asked hesitantly, "Shuyi, do you know that girl?"
Meng Shuyi reacted as soon as she heard what was said, quickly suppressed the emotions in her eyes, and sighed softly.
"Let's consider it acquaintance."
Her throat moved slightly, and she was about to continue speaking, but the scene she caught in her peripheral vision made her stop talking.
Not far away, Jiang Wan smiled and shook his head at the person in front of him. After saying something, he turned around and looked like he was about to leave the banquet hall.
Meng Shuyi narrowed her eyes and seeing that Fu Chi had his back to her and wasn't paying attention, she stood up and followed him.
Jiang Wan was indeed preparing to leave.
She came to the third floor just to see if Meng Huainian and Pan Xiulin would appear to be familiar with each other in front of everyone, but unfortunately, the two of them didn't say a word from beginning to end.
There were almost all strangers at the scene, and she already had an idea of what was going on. Of course, there was no need to stay here any longer.
But she didn't expect that she would be stopped by Meng Shuyi as soon as she walked out of the banquet hall.
Apart from being alone in the same space with her, Meng Shuyi still looked quite pure, and even made people feel a bit of good impression on her for no reason.
"Ms. Jiang, can I talk to you alone?"
Jiang Wan raised the corners of her eyes slightly, thinking that it was difficult for Meng Shuyi to pretend that she had no disgust towards her at this time.
She did not refuse, but was quite curious about what Meng Shuyi would say to her after she once again regarded her as a "love rival" under completely different circumstances this time.
Of course, in addition to this, she also wanted to confirm whether the person in the surveillance video last night was sent by Meng Shuyi.
If so, then it probably won't be long before Meng Shuyi actually takes action against her.
The two of them quickly walked to an empty corridor. Meng Shuyi looked at Jiang Wan quietly for a moment before slowly speaking: "Ms. Jiang, are you Shen Yan's girlfriend?"
