Jiang Qing shook her head slightly and said, "I don't know. Jiang Nuan has been like she disappeared for the past six years. When she ran away back then, I thought she was dead. I didn't expect her to return six years later and, with one move, plunge our Jiang family into such a predicament."
Jiang Qing hated Jiang Nuan, intensely!
Because Jiang Nuan was too beautiful.
Jiang Nuan's beauty had almost made her jealous throughout her youth.
"Dad, I can't understand. You had both sons and daughters back then, why did you adopt Jiang Nuan?" This was a question Jiang Qing had never been able to figure out.
Jiang Shuo merely cast a cold glance at her, saying nothing.
Why Jiang Nuan was adopted, of course, there was a purpose behind it.
Jiang Shuo took a slight breath. The most crucial thing now was to revive the company.
After Jiang Nuan's disturbance, many shareholders withdrew their investments, and the company was facing bankruptcy.
Jiang Qing looked at her father's silent face, feeling angry and helpless.
Jiang Shuo pressed the intercom and asked his assistant, Kang Ning, to come in.
"Chairman," Kang Ning said, lowering his head respectfully.
Jiang Shuo looked at him with a stern gaze. "Go investigate the people around Jiang Nuan. Whoever she cares about, bring them to me."
Others might not understand Jiang Nuan, but didn't he?
Kang Ning nodded slightly and turned to leave.
Jiang Shuo looked at Jiang Qing and asked, "How are things between you and Mu Yu?"
Jiang Qing's face turned cold as she recalled that night at the banquet when that scoundrel Mu Yu had made her lose face in front of all those young ladies. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
"Dad, he's a scumbag."
Jiang Qing was furious. That scoundrel had actually wanted to keep Jiang Nuan, offering 100,000 yuan a month. He was so generous, yet he had never been so generous to her.
That scoundrel had taken her most precious possession, yet didn't cherish her. She felt disgusted just looking at him now.
Jiang Shuo said, "Marry him. Save the company first. Once the company is revived, then you can divorce him."
Jiang Qing's eyes widened in disbelief. Was this something a father would say?
"Dad, I won't be happy if I marry him," Jiang Qing couldn't help but retort.
"And my brother, he's returning to the country soon. Can't we wait for brother to come back?"
Even if she loved Mu Yu, she wouldn't offer herself to be ruined by him.
Mu Yu was a scoundrel.
"Dad, people like those from the He family, or Master Jiu, with their status. I want to marry someone like that. What is Mu Yu's family? A small company, it's completely useless."
Jiang Qing tried to persuade her father. Did she also have to walk the same path as Jiang Nuan?
Jiang Nuan wasn't his biological daughter, so she could be discarded as they pleased. But she was his biological daughter.
"Hmph! Do you think they would marry you?" Jiang Shuo said with cold eyes. If she could truly make Mu Jiuchen marry her, he would treat her like a treasure.
Unfortunately, she lacked the intellect for it. Jiang Qing had her schemes, but they were only suitable for people of their small status. In those large families, she would struggle even to survive.
Jiang Qing was momentarily speechless, then forced herself to say, "Dad, I'll work hard. Give me some time."
After getting to know Lin Su, she realized how small her circle was. What was Mu Yu?
A mysterious and wealthy man like Mu Jiuchen was the one worthy of her, Jiang Qing.
Jiang Shuo said, "Forget about Mu Jiuchen. The young master of the He family, He Mingxin. He spends all his time eating, drinking, and having fun. You should be able to win him over. I will arrange it for you."
Although Jiang Qing was unwilling, she knew Mu Jiuchen's cold demeanor. He was someone who wouldn't give face to anyone, a man who never spoke to women in public.
Yet, he had had dinner with Jiang Nuan, which was what made her the most jealous.
