Jiang Yansheng frowned. "Is it possible that Gu Sichu and my mother …"
What Jiang Chu had said in the office was still haunting her like a nightmare.
He knew what she was thinking with just a glance.
Wu Yi curled his lips in disdain.
"Don't you know what kind of person Fang Manhan is?"
Jiang Yansheng was a little embarrassed. "How would I know about their past? I've never heard that my mother knew Gu Sichu before!"
Wu Yi snorted coldly.
"I heard that Gu Sichu confessed to her once, but Manhan rejected him. She married Jiang Chu right after graduating from college. "
He got angry at the mention of this. "She had an affair during marriage, and a mistress forced her to abdicate. The child was almost the same age as you when she brought him here. The husband Manhan found is really a ruthless man!"
"If only she had agreed to Gu Sichu directly. He is tall, rich, and handsome. Which part of him is not better than Jiang Chu? What's wrong with Manhan? Why did she choose Jiang Chu? "
He looked at Jiang Yansheng with a look of exasperation. "If your father were Gu Sichu, would we still be here holding on to the shares of the Jiang Clan?"
"Maybe you would give me a Rolls-Royce Phantom as a New Year's Day gift!"
Jiang Yansheng rolled his eyes speechlessly. "Your real life is not going your way, but your imagination is quite rich."
She smiled dangerously at Wu Yi and tapped her cheek. "Then what do you mean by that? Do you think that my current appearance is unsatisfactory?"
Wu Yi's previous arrogance suddenly trembled, and he quickly retracted it. He gave Jiang Yansheng a flattering smile, "How could that be? I mean, our Yansheng is as beautiful as a flower now. If the genes of our fathers' generation were better, they might even be taller. "
Suddenly, he put on a fierce expression. "Look at your dad's flat nose. I get angry just looking at it. I wish I could punch it until it's flat."
Jiang Yansheng crossed his legs. "You're quite enthusiastic. If Jiang Chu were standing here right now, would you still dare to say these words?"
Wu Yi instantly collapsed. "Can't I just say it for fun?"
She spread her hands and flipped to the price page of the contract. "What's the most appropriate price for the shares?"
"I only have less than a million in liquid funds on hand."
Wu Yi glanced at him. "Press it down by half."
Jiang Yansheng frowned. The moment he closed his eyes, he saw his Second Uncle's expression. "Do you think he'll agree?"
"Of course he will." Wu Yi sneered. He flipped a few pages of the contract. "Look at the price here. It's actually different from the previous ones. I don't know if your Second Uncle's brain is not very bright, or if he's not very confident. The price at the back is even lower than the previous ones."
"He might not even know how much he should offer. He's so weak. You just need to be a little more forceful and you'll be able to negotiate."
After coming out of the law firm, Jiang Yansheng sat in the car and called his Second Uncle.
After the call was connected, there was a lot of noise on the other end of the line. There were even people pushing glasses, and the soft voice of a woman came through the phone.
"Who is it? Hurry up and hang up. Have another drink …"
"Shut up!" Second Uncle shouted in exasperation. He quickly sent the woman away and adjusted his voice. "Yansheng, why did you call me?"
Jiang Yansheng smiled and asked knowingly. "Isn't Second Uncle at the company? I thought Second Uncle was at the company looking at the bidding proposal. "
"No, haha …" Second Uncle said sheepishly. "A few friends bought me a drink, so I came over."
"Oh," Jiang Yansheng said meaningfully. "I know, but Second Uncle came out to drink with a woman at the table. Did you report to Second Aunt in advance?"
Second Uncle hid his smile. "It's okay. You don't have to tell her. It's not a big problem. I'll find a designated driver later."
He quickly changed the topic. "Yansheng, why did you call? Did you finally look at the contract? If you have, why don't you come to the company this afternoon and we can sign it? "
Jiang Yansheng was speechless. "I hired a lawyer today. To be honest, I don't have much cash on hand right now."
She reported a number in a flat voice. It didn't seem like she was bargaining, but rather stating a fact that had already been settled.
Second Uncle was furious. "Yansheng, I can't make the decision on this price."
If it wasn't for Jiang Yansheng's promise to buy some shares, he wouldn't have spent so much money to come out and play today. Now, Jiang Yansheng's words were like pouring a bucket of cold water on his head, and he immediately became dispirited.
Jiang Yansheng insisted. "This is the price. If Second Uncle is not willing, I don't want to participate in the bidding. It's a mess anyway. There's really nothing to do."
Second Uncle was so anxious that he was fuming. "Don't do this. I can't make the decision on my own. Why don't I go back and discuss it with my lawyer later …"
Jiang Yansheng said sarcastically, "The shares are in Second Uncle's hands or the lawyer's hands. Do you have to discuss your own assets with someone else?"
"Didn't you ask the lawyer too?" Second Uncle was exasperated.
Jiang Yansheng retorted sarcastically, "I'm almost two years younger than you, Second Uncle. Logically speaking, I'm an insensible child. Are you saying that Second Uncle is also a child?"
Second Uncle was speechless. He mumbled, "The figure you mentioned just now, tell me again."
Jiang Yansheng smiled and spoke softly.
The phone went silent for a moment. The only sound that could be heard was the cold wind whistling past the entrance of the entertainment club and Second Uncle's resolute voice. "Alright then. For the sake of your mother and Jiang Chu, I won't get involved in the next share sale …"
The other end of the phone was still shouting. Jiang Yansheng expressionlessly put the phone on speaker mode and threw it on the passenger seat. He waited for Second Uncle to finish talking before he leisurely told him the time and place.
After settling Second Uncle's matter, the phone on the passenger seat with a black screen suddenly lit up and a message popped up.
Jiang Yansheng glanced sideways and saw that it was from Yu Zhouzhou.
Yansheng, are you at home now?
She dialed his number.
"What's wrong? Didn't you already go home?" Jiang Yansheng's voice became gentler.
"I left in a hurry. When I got home, I realized that I forgot to take a lot of things. I wanted to ask if you are free today. Does your company have a lunch break? I want to go get something, but I didn't bring the key with me when I left. I can't open the door alone. "Yu Zhouzhou wanted to cry but had no tears.
"Sure."
She had an appointment with Second Uncle to sign the contract in the afternoon. She had a lot of time now.
Jiang Yansheng turned the steering wheel and drove to the apartment. "I'm free now. Come over."
…
When she saw Yu Zhouzhou again, she didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt that Yu Zhouzhou looked even more radiant.
Jiang Yansheng opened the door for her. She looked at Yu Zhouzhou's back as he dashed into the apartment. She wanted to say something but stopped herself.
She instinctively walked to the window and looked out. When she was sure that Fu Minglang was not following them secretly, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"My mom is getting on in years and likes to do all sorts of things. This is the muskmelon she asked me to bring after she cut it for you at home …" Yu Zhouzhou said sweet revenge. Seeing that Jiang Yansheng was distracted, he asked, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Yansheng retracted his gaze and smiled brightly. "Nothing. I just wanted to check on the stray dogs in the neighborhood."
"Are there any stray dogs in the neighborhood?" Yu Zhouzhou shrunk his neck and looked out timidly. "You have to be careful when you come back alone at night …"
She was in high spirits when she spoke, and there was a warm and caring look in her eyes.
Jiang Yansheng paused and asked, "You haven't met any strange people since you moved back to your mom's place, have you?"
The smile in Yu Zhouzhou's eyes faded a little. "No."
"The day you left, Fu Minglang came to see me."
"He came to see you?" Yu Zhouzhou frowned and felt very annoyed. "Is he crazy?"
She looked at Jiang Yansheng with an apologetic look on her face. "Actually, I didn't want to leave a day earlier. It was mainly because he suddenly came to see me at noon that day and said a lot of strange things."
"I was really tired. As soon as he left, I started packing."
Jiang Yansheng nodded. "It's okay."
She even felt that it was strange. She couldn't understand how the two of them got along. After breaking up, shouldn't Fu Minglang avoid Yu Zhouzhou? Why was it the complete opposite?
One was chasing after him, and the other was fleeing all over the world.
Yu Zhouzhou smiled bitterly. She looked at the lipstick that she could only find after rummaging through the house for a long time and the sunscreen bottle that was almost empty. "Every time I move, I feel like I've lost a lot of things."
"But when I come back to look for it, I can't find it. I don't even know what I've lost."
Jiang Yansheng closed her trembling palms and said softly, "It's okay. You can come to me anytime when you think of it in the future. I won't sell this apartment."
When Yu Zhouzhou left, she still reminded Jiang Yansheng worriedly, "If Fu Minglang comes again, don't pay attention to him. Just drive him away."
Jiang Yansheng nodded.
She didn't say that she hadn't seen Fu Minglang since the last time he cried at the door.
…
When driving past the underground of the Gu clan's building, Jiang Yansheng was unexpectedly blocked. There was an endless stream of cars in front of her, and the four lanes were blocked.
She rolled down the window and looked out.
Half of the cars were actually reporters and paparazzi. Their cameras were aimed at the man who got out of a stretch Lincoln at the gate of the Gu clan.
Jiang Yansheng looked at the shiny black car and his heart beat faster.
The only person who could be so powerful in the Gu clan should be Gu Yan, right?
Did something happen to the Gu clan today?
The door opened with a click.
His leather shoes stepped on the ground steadily.
