Chapter 258: Leaving

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Yuan Shu looked at Jiang Chen indifferently. You cant persuade me. Perhaps this is fate. Well always be on opposite sides. Youre the literary scholar, but I have to marry the martial arts scholar. Youre the head of the Jiang family, but Im the eldest young madam of the s.h.i.+ family. G.o.d forbids us from being together.

Jiang Chen accidentally knocked over the teacup. The light green tea spilled on his apricot-colored s.h.i.+rt and stained it.

He said agitatedly, Why is it that in your world, Im always the one whos abandoned! Even though I brought you here and let you escape the restraints of your family and the imperial power, you still refuse to look at me

At this point, there was no need to dwell on this topic. After Yuan Shu picked up the teacup and finished the tea in it, she said calmly, Jiang Chen, its impossible for a person to live without restraints. Even in this world, you have to consider your family. You cant abandon everything. Just like how 1 couldnt abandon my family in the past, its the same now. I already have ties.

We were abandoned after the other party weighed the pros and cons. Instead of dwelling on these past events, its better to look ahead. Ive used three days to think it through. 1 wont leave with you.

Jiang Chen had his head lowered and didnt say anything. He was angry that he knew Yuan Shu so well. It was because he knew Yuan Shu very well that he knew that since Yuan Shu had said these words, he really couldnt take her away.

Yuan Shu continued, Since Ive already remembered the past, theres no need to film the television drama anymore. Let this past stay in my memories.

Jiang Chen smiled bitterly. I should have known this would happen. Yuan Shu, 1 lost the bet again.

Jiang Chen heaved a long sigh and sat up straight. Then he called his secretary, Zheng Tian, in.

After Zheng Tian handed him a doc.u.ment, he left silently.

Jiang Chen pushed the doc.u.ment in front of Yuan Shu. Since we cant talk about feelings, lets get down to business. This doc.u.ment is about my recent investigation of your software company. Tan Jing made a good move. From the ball onwards, he lured you into the trap step by step. Then, he used this software company to get the Finance Bureau to investigate you. He has been preparing for a few months. This is only the first step. There must be more to it.

Yuan Shu was puzzled. If I remember correctly, the Tan familys strength isnt enough for them to go against the s.h.i.+ family and the Jiang family. What he did is tantamount to betraying you. Without your support, how can he fight against the s.h.i.+ family?

Before this happened, Jiang Chen also thought that Tan Jing was loyal, but it seemed that Tan Jing had betrayed him long ago.

The Jiang family and the Tan family have business dealings, so they cooperate in many aspects of work. Tan Jing has always sucked up to the Jiang family. Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment before continuing, Tan Jing was also the one who planned to drug you and let you marry s.h.i.+ Xiao. However, things probably changed since 1 arrived.

Tan Jing started to take a neutral stance. He was no longer so close to the Jiang family and the s.h.i.+ family. Tan Jing didnt even ask for the Jiang familys opinion when he wanted to enter the software industry. Instead, he went to look for you.

I think there are only two possibilities. Either he wants to become independent, be completely neutral, and get rid of the two families control, but theres no need for him to provoke you at all, since this will only bring trouble to himself. In that case, theres only the second possibility. Someone is helping him.

Yuan Shu was silent. She had the same thought as Jiang Chen.

However, Tan Jing wasnt a fool. For him to choose to give up on the s.h.i.+ family and the Jiang family after weighing the pros and cons, it meant that the person behind him was powerful enough to contend against the two families.

However, there werent many families in A City that had the same status as these two families. There was the Song family, which occupied a place in the academic world, but had always kept a low profile, and the Li family, which was doing well in the political world.

However, the social statuses of these two families didnt allow them to interfere in the business world.

Yuan Shu frowned and asked, Then who do you think the mastermind is?

Jiang Chen crossed his arms in front of his chest as he said, Its hard to determine for the time being. I havent seen any families suddenly rise in power recently, which means that that mastermind has hidden himself very well. More importantly, we dont know what his goal is or what trump cards he has. The enemies on the surface arent scary, but the enemies hiding in the dark are.

Yuan Shu and Jiang Chen looked at each other and smiled tacitly. This was what the two of them often said when they practiced on the sand table back then..
