Chapter 219: Chapter 219: Didn’t You See Him Getting Angry?
Who there wasn’t a shrewd one?
Everyone watched with amusement as the girl in the white dress suddenly appeared.
In such a place, there was no room for a Cinderella who stumbled into the banquet hall searching for her Prince Charming.
First, entry required a financial assessment, which she had already failed, and secondly, she must have been brought in by someone—like Jiang Nanshu, brought in by Jiang Yisen. While others brought female companions, he brought his sister, which was quite unconventional.
Jiang Yisen paused for a second, recognized the face in his arms and smiled lazily, his beautiful face lit up, “Where did this lost little deer come from? Running into brother’s arms?”
Jiang Yisen was very handsome, with superior bone structure. In their circle of heirs, he was known as a playboy, or crudely put, a jerk.
The women he had dumped could form several tables for playing mahjong.
But each woman, after breaking up, received a sizable compensation, making him both loved and hated.
Su Ran’s cheeks flushed slightly. She had seen handsome men before, but Jiang Yisen felt different from the others. He had a lazy demeanor, always wearing a carefree smile, seemingly indifferent to everything, yet it seemed like she had already occupied his attention—his allure was mesmerizing.
Su Ran pursed her lips slightly, displaying her perfect profile, with tears on her eyelashes, “I’m sorry, but could you please help me?”
Jiang Yisen raised his eyebrows, his smile taking on a playful tone, “Oh? What seems to be the trouble?”
“I was brought here by a wealthy young master. He is pursuing me, but I’m not interested. Could you pretend to be my boyfriend for a moment? Just long enough for me to get rid of him,” Su Ran pleaded, her eyes misty, her face as innocent as a lotus.
Jiang Nanshu observed from a distance.
In the original book, Jiang Yisen indeed did a lot for the female lead.
But not this “heroic rescue,” right?
[How could I not help? Maybe she’ll even come to pay respects at your grave.]
Jiang Yisen: “…”
He knew Su Ran; he was just teasing this mysterious woman who appeared out of nowhere.
Before Jiang Yisen could respond, a faint voice came from behind Su Ran, “President Jiang, what a romantic encounter, finding romance everywhere.”
It seemed Fang Minghe had just arrived.
His black hair was immaculately styled, his handsome features indifferent. Dressed in a well-tailored suit, tall and with long legs, his presence was imposing, giving off an aura of aloofness that made him hard to approach.
Perhaps because Fang Minghe was so unapproachable, no women were visibly close to him.
Jiang Yisen, slightly embarrassed, pushed Su Ran away, “What romantic encounter? I’m innocent. I don’t know her. Why didn’t you inform me before you came?”
Fang Minghe glanced at him indifferently, “We’re not close.”
“Tsk,” Jiang Yisen clicked his tongue lightly, a hint of roguishness in his eyes, “What does it take to be considered close?”
Fang Minghe’s gaze moved past him, nodding slightly towards Jiang Nanshu not far behind as a greeting.
“I’m more familiar with your sister, after all, she’s now the spokesperson for my company.”
Su Ran was still recovering from the humiliation of being pushed away by Jiang Yisen when Fang Minghe’s words shocked her.
She had always thought that her endorsement had been sabotaged by Jiang Nanshu, but it had gone directly to her.
She had been so delighted when she received the contract.
But why did the opportunity have to go to Jiang Nanshu, who lived a life of luxury? Why did she have to compete with them for the endorsement?
She somewhat boldly grabbed Fang Minghe’s sleeve, “Mr. Fang, I’m Su Ran. You should know me, the previous candidate for the Coral Sea endorsement.”
Fang Minghe’s gaze fell first on his sleeve, then on Su Ran’s pitiful face, his brow faintly furrowed as he withdrew his hand, “Sorry, I don’t know you.”
Su Ran’s eyes reddened, “I’m very good at dancing. Please give me another chance.”
“I only set my heart on Jiang Nanshu. Miss Su, please have some dignity.”
Fang Minghe bypassed her and walked straight inside.
“But…” Su Ran followed him a few steps before Jiang Yisen forcefully stopped her.
She turned around.
The smile was gone from Jiang Yisen’s face, his usual languid expression had turned somewhat frosty.
He bared his white teeth, “Didn’t you see he’s angry?”
Su Ran stared at him, her lips quivering, “President Jiang…”
“Heh,” Jiang Yisen chuckled coldly, his eyes icy, “Su Ran, you’re quite greedy, aren’t you?”
Su Ran’s face instantly paled, “I’m not, I didn’t.”
Impatience and disgust were evident between Jiang Yisen’s brows.
“Security, throw this woman out. She’s bad luck.”
Things got serious.
Su Ran was finally scared.
If she were thrown out, she would definitely make the headlines tomorrow. With so many reporters lurking outside, her reputation would be ruined, and her incident at the hospital would also come to light.
“No… I can’t…”
She looked helplessly toward Bao Yan, who was watching coldly from the side.
Bao Yan was attracted by her beauty, he knew better than anyone what type of woman Jiang Yisen liked. If she could capture Jiang Yisen’s heart and help Bao Yan get the Jiang Family’s secrets, he would reward her with many resources and propel her to stardom.
Seeing Su Ran look toward Bao Yan, Jiang Yisen provocatively raised an eyebrow at him, “Bao Yan?”
The focus in the room instantly shifted to Bao Yan.
Jiang Nanshu witnessed a dramatic twist, “…”
[What’s happening! Weren’t you supposed to be infatuated with Su Ran’s beauty? Why the disgust now? And how come Bao Yan’s involvement got exposed? Can’t Su Ran use her brain? This indirectly handed Bao Yan over! Knowing my brother’s pettiness, he would definitely think Bao Yan deliberately set up this honeytrap!]
Jiang Yisen glanced at them with a mocking smile.
He really didn’t know.
So Bao Yan’s heart was so dark. After replacing a beautiful secretary that he had fired earlier with Su Ran,
did he really think that he only cared about such matters?
Would he be so foolish to spill corporate secrets over beauty?
Just as the security personnel truly arrived.
Bao Yan finally spoke up, “She’s with me.”
Jiang Yisen waved his hand, and the security personnel immediately let go of Su Ran, who, in panic, ran behind Bao Yan to hide, somewhat afraid of Jiang Yisen.
Jiang Yisen grinned, elongating his tone, “Oh, so the rich second-generation chasing Miss Su is you, huh? Looking like a gentleman but actually a major scumbag—don’t you want your current partner anymore? After playing captive play earlier and now switching to a new love interest, you’re really failing at life, aren’t you? Even as a big company’s CEO, I suggest you go bankrupt and make room for other aspiring businesses.”
Jiang Yisen’s words were venomously relentless.
Bao Yan had a cold expression, his demeanor frosty.
His eyes, mixed with disdain, looked at Jiang Yisen, “Whether the Bo Family goes bankrupt is not for President Jiang alone to decide.”
Jiang Yisen sneered with a sarcastic tone, “Well, some people might find their backyard on fire when they get home. Good luck.”
