Chapter 218: Chapter 218 I’m Really So Fond of You
Jiang Yisen actually thought Jiang Zhouye wasn’t wrong.
Jiang Nanshu really was a lucky star.
Jiang Yisen, with one hand in his pocket, slightly upturned the corner of his mouth and said, “Let’s go, the auction is about to start soon.”
Jiang Nanshu followed him into the car, mentally preparing the persuasive words she would soon deliver.
As soon as Jiang Yisen got into the car, he closed his eyes to rest. There were dark circles under his eyes, clearly a sign of not sleeping well due to being busy. Jiang Nanshu had intended to chat with him after getting in the car, but seeing this, she decided against it.
“If it weren’t for the need to maintain my good sister persona, I would blast loud music to annoy you to death!”
“It’s really strange, who on earth persuaded you to bid on Nanshan District? When I find this instigator, I’ll definitely kill them!”
Jiang Yisen: “…”
That person is yourself, how do you plan to do it?
It looked like this secret would have to be kept forever, never letting Jiang Nanshu find out.
The car drove for half an hour and arrived at Li Yun Mansion.
This was a grand mansion with a blend of Chinese and Western architectural styles. Only entrepreneurs with a net worth evaluated at over fifty million in Beijing qualified to enter; the proverbial ticket was worth over a hundred thousand, and ordinary entrepreneurs couldn’t get in even if they had one.
Jiang Yisen breezed through the entire process with facial recognition, encountering no obstacles along the way.
Jiang Nanshu followed closely, continuing her persuasive efforts, “Big brother, listen to your sister—Nanshan District really is the worst place, whoever bids on it will regret it. The location is secluded, the terrain is remote, and I’ve heard people have even committed suicide by jumping into the sea there; it’s terrifying!”
“If I were a tourist, I would never go to a place where someone has died; it’s too ominous. Let’s sell this land to Bao Yan and trick him thoroughly, how about that?”
Jiang Nanshu spoke until she was almost out of saliva, yet Jiang Yisen remained nonchalant, even leisurely looking around as if searching for someone.
Jiang Nanshu: “…”
“Could you be a bit more polite to me, OK?”
Jiang Yisen finally turned to look at her, his eyes betraying a hint of helplessness, “Sis, you don’t understand the world of business, but this piece of land, I intend to gift a chunk and truly scam Bao Yan. You and I really share a common purpose when it comes to disliking him.”
He spoke with relish, as if Jiang Nanshu was his soulmate.
Jiang Nanshu: “…”
“Who shares any purpose with you? I’m going to find Bao Yan in a second and talk up the advantages of Nanshan District; with his skills, he definitely won’t let you off easy.”
Jiang Yisen laughed, raised his hand, and affectionately ruffled Jiang Nanshu’s head, his voice filled with pleasure, “I really do adore you. Go have fun in the banquet hall for a while; I’m going to look for Fang Minghe.”
Jiang Nanshu: “…”
“Get lost, how do you only know to find Fang Minghe? Do you like him or something? Always looking for him, even buying him bubble tea, huh~”
Jiang Yisen almost smacked Jiang Nanshu on the head, but let it go—children will say anything, after all.
He was genuinely trying to discuss a partnership with Fang Minghe, but Fang was a bit of a coward, too scared to partner up with him to take down Bao Yan, the spineless wimp.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
He really wanted to grab him and give him a good beating!
He left Jiang Nanshu where she was, confident that she would be fine, and went to find someone in the crowd of the banquet hall.
Jiang Nanshu turned around and there stood the impassive Bao Yan right behind her.
Her eyes lit up.
She had been thinking of him, and there he was.
“Mr. Bo,” Jiang Nanshu greeted him with a smile.
Bao Yan merely glanced at her indifferently.
So cold?
Seeing that he was ignoring her, Jiang Nanshu didn’t get upset. Although it was daytime, the banquet hall was filled with high-ranking officials and nobles. Bao Yan’s appearance attracted the attention of many, and it wasn’t quite appropriate for Jiang Nanshu to talk about a partnership in such a setting.
So she said, “Would it be convenient to go somewhere quiet to talk?”
Bao Yan, with his handsome and cold face, said with a slight parting of his pale lips, “It’s not convenient.”
Jiang Nanshu: “…”
Damn!
She took a deep breath, “Mr. Bo, you’ll definitely be interested in this topic.”
Bao Yan looked at her with mocking eyes, “I won’t. I heard your conversation with your older brother just now. Trying to trap me, are you a spy he sent? The method isn’t very smart. Do you think I would cooperate with my archenemy’s sister? Go play in the mud.”
Jiang Nanshu, “…”
She really had failed before she even began.
Not only did she fail to establish a relationship with Bao Yan, but she also made him wary of her.
Bao Yan took a step forward, his gaze cold, “Stay away from Xu Xingwan. Some relationships aren’t changed by just a few words, understand?”
It wasn’t until Bao Yan walked away that Jiang Nanshu reflected on his words.
It seemed that Xu Xingwan had gone to ask Bao Yan about Su Ran.
And then dragged her into it?
Making Bao Yan hold a grudge against her.
Jiang Nanshu raised her eyebrows playfully. It seemed Bao Yan hadn’t made a choice between Xu Xingwan and Su Ran but had come to warn her not to speak too much.
She was a little curious about what kind of deal Bao Yan had struck with Su Ran.
Thinking of Su Ran, she thought of the accident that happened yesterday.
Walking to a quiet corner, she dialed Jiang Jingcheng’s number.
After ten seconds, the call was answered.
Jiang Jingcheng’s clear and indifferent voice came through, “What is it?”
Jiang Nanshu inquired, “Big Brother, how is Cheng An’s leg?”
Jiang Jingcheng spoke bluntly, “It was amputated. The wound unfortunately got infected, and he’s in the intensive care unit.”
Jiang Nanshu’s eyes widened.
Cheng An was truly ruined!
This book had created an entirely new plotline.
“How about Madam Cheng, is she alright?”
Jiang Jingcheng was silent for a few seconds before slow speaking, “She’s dead. The news hasn’t been released yet. Liang Ciqiu was taken away by the police for investigation. Whether he goes to prison or settles the case, it depends on whether the Lu family can offer the Cheng family the sincerity they want. But personally, I think it’s very likely he’ll end up in prison.”
“Anything else you want to ask?”
“No,” Jiang Nanshu replied obediently.
“Good, hanging up now.”
The next moment, the call was disconnected.
Jiang Nanshu sat in the corner, digesting this information.
In the original book, Madam Cheng hadn’t died and had a very good relationship with Su Ran.
And Liang Ciqiu hadn’t gone to prison but had collected evidence of the original body’s crimes, sending the original person to jail and removing any obstacles that could threaten Su Ran.
As for Huang Ruanting, since Su Ran was a big star, she had joined her support group and, riding on Su Ran’s popularity, soared to the top of the dance world. She even met a wealthy third-generation suitor, reaping a harvest in both career and love.
Now that she had broken her leg, none of that would be possible.
Jiang Nanshu clicked her tongue, “Da Shachun, are you sure we’re reading the same book?”
The ever-detached Da Shachun: [Host, this glorious era is as you wished. Are you happy now?]
Jiang Nanshu touched her nose guiltily, “I haven’t done anything. I’m scolded and aggrieved every day, with nowhere to share my woes.”
Da Shachun: […]
Indeed, she’d managed to wreck every plotline with her own hands and then act innocently as if she was unaware. It was tired.
Da Shachun: [No worries, Host. We just need to follow the mission. The female lead will turn things around with her personal charm.]
Jiang Nanshu raised her eyebrows, looking at Su Ran not far away, dressed in a little white dress, eyes red like a frightened deer, clutching Jiang Yisen tightly.
She snorted coldly, “Indeed impressive. When backed into a corner, she always finds a way to solve her problems.”
