Chapter 198: Revealing the Truth to Shen Qingqiu, Blame the Damn System
At Crouching Dragon Villa, Jiang Che carefully checked the share transfer agreement handed over by the bodyguard and signed it after confirming it was correct.
From now on, Junyue Hotel was his! Although Junyue Hotel couldn’t compare to the Jiang family’s trillion-dollar assets, even a mosquito is meat, and a free property should not be refused.
“Where is Huang Xiaolong now?” Handing the contract to a maid to deliver to his mother at the Jiang family, Jiang Che looked at the bodyguard in front of him and asked.
“Huang Xiaolong was temporarily staying at Deng Wenchang’s Splendid Hotel but has already left. He is currently wandering around Linjiang City.”
Jiang Che nodded thoughtfully. With his intervention, Deng Wenchang couldn’t stay close to Huang Xiaolong, or he would face Jiang Che’s wrath. Jiang Che wasn’t surprised by this. Deng Wenchang was a smart person and would definitely choose self-preservation.
“You may leave for now. I’ll call you if I need anything.”
“Yes.” The bodyguard responded and respectfully left.
Jiang Che was about to get up and leave the living room when his phone rang in his pocket. Seeing that it was his mother calling, he answered without hesitation.
“Hello, what’s up, Mom?”
“The Zhao family from Modu has given all their properties and businesses in Linjiang City to our Jiang family, saying it’s payment for your help. What did you do for them?” Su Shanshan asked curiously. She had heard a bit about the Zhao family from Modu.
Although the Zhao family was based in Modu, they had managed to secure some businesses and land in Linjiang City through connections. The combined value of these properties was immeasurable, yet they just handed them over to the Jiang family? This made her feel incredulous and curious about what her precious son had done.
“Oh, that matter.” Jiang Che was slightly enlightened by her words. He hadn’t expected the Zhao family to be so generous this time.
“I killed someone for them and took some well-deserved compensation.”
“Alright, I got it. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up first.” Su Shanshan nodded and hung up the phone.
She mainly called to confirm with Jiang Che. Since the information was verified, she needed to sign the contract.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Che stood up and walked out of the living room. With nothing else to do, he wasn’t in a hurry to deal with that fool Huang Xiaolong. Jiang Che decided to visit Shen Qingqiu’s company. He missed his fiancée after a few days of not seeing her.
…
An hour later, Jiang Che parked his car downstairs at the Shen Group and headed straight to Shen Qingqiu’s office on the sixteenth floor. Along the way, people kept greeting Jiang Che. They all knew his relationship with Shen Qingqiu and were very flattering.
In the CEO’s office on the sixteenth floor, Shen Qingqiu was reviewing documents when Jiang Che walked in without any notice. Shen Qingqiu frowned, annoyed, and looked up to see who dared to barge in.
Seeing that it was Jiang Che, she was surprised, and a hint of joy flashed in her eyes.
“What are you doing here?” She was a bit surprised by Jiang Che’s visit since he had never actively sought her out. It was always her who missed him and asked him to come.
“I missed you, so I came to see you.” Jiang Che pulled a chair and sat opposite Shen Qingqiu, smiling mischievously, dropping his usual aloof demeanor.
“Lier!” Shen Qingqiu snorted, seemingly indifferent, but her heart was sweet.
Obviously, she enjoyed Jiang Che’s words.
“What are you busy with?” Jiang Che asked curiously, seeing the pile of documents in front of Shen Qingqiu.
“Nothing much, just handling some routine documents.” Shen Qingqiu shook her head and continued, “There’s a banquet tomorrow night. Do you have time to accompany me?” She looked at Jiang Che expectantly, happy to be with him.
“Of course, I have time.” Jiang Che smiled, saying he came to see Shen Qingqiu for this matter.
There was a birthday banquet at the Bai family tomorrow night. As one of the four major families in Linjiang City, many dignitaries would attend. In the original story, Huang Xiaolong attended the banquet with Deng Wenchang. Although Huang Xiaolong and Deng Wenchang had a falling out, Jiang Che believed he would still attend.
This was Huang Xiaolong’s first step to fame in Linjiang City, but with Jiang Che around, his plans would not succeed.
“What is your relationship with my junior sister Lin Xiyan and Gu Yunqi?” As if suddenly remembering something, Shen Qingqiu’s smile faded, and she looked at Jiang Che sternly.
She recalled her cousin Lin Nan mentioning it, and she realized that Jiang Che’s relationship with them was not simple.
“Why do you ask this all of a sudden?” Jiang Che looked at Shen Qingqiu with some surprise but showed no panic. He had anticipated this day would come, just not so soon. Jiang Che had long planned to reveal the truth to Shen Qingqiu. Keeping it hidden wasn’t a solution.
“I feel your relationship with them isn’t simple. So, do you really have something with them?” Shen Qingqiu’s tone was cold, feeling deceived.
Jiang Che’s words seemed to confirm her suspicions, making her feel betrayed. She had always trusted Jiang Che despite hearing similar rumors. To find out he had really done such a thing was a blow.
“Our relationship is indeed not simple…” Jiang Che admitted frankly, seeing no point in hiding it.
“Do you think you deserve me after doing this?” Shen Qingqiu asked painfully, her face showing her hurt.
“But in my heart, you are always number one. No one can compare to you.” Jiang Che said earnestly.
In terms of family background, appearance, cultivation, and character, Shen Qingqiu was his best match. But his own naturally flirtatious nature left Jiang Che helpless. He couldn’t just give all the heroines to the protagonist, right?
Blame the damn system for making him deal with the protagonist! Now he was entangled in so many love debts!
