Chapter 26
Ah Man was Lu Zhi’s assistant. She had worked for him for nine years and was very thoughtful.
After Lu Zhi gave the order, she earnestly taught Jiang Yining about Lu Zhi and all aspects of the Lu Corporation, afraid that she would miss out on anything.
Unfortunately, Jiang Yining had no talent for business, and she would feel sleepy every time she listened to the teachings.
Friday morning.
Finally, it was time for Ah Man to go to work. Jiang Yining quickly stood up and said, “It’s nine o’clock. I should go to school. I’ll see you tomorrow!”
“Alright. Goodbye, Young Mistress.”
Ah Man could tell that she was not too attentive during her teachings, but she did not show any impatience. Instead, she watched Jiang Yining leave respectfully.
Jiang Yining carried her bag and took the bus to school.
Just as she was about to enter, she heard someone shouting.
“Miss Jiang, are you free? Can we talk?”
Jiang Yining turned around and saw Chen Qinglian. She said calmly, “I have nothing to talk about with you.”
She respected Lu Zhi and would not take the initiative to provoke these people.
But some people would become even more arrogant if one gave in.
Chen Qinglian blocked Jiang Yining’s way. “It’ll only take you ten minutes. Don’t worry, I’m here to make peace with you. I have no ill intentions.”
“Is that so?”
Jiang Yining chuckled, her bright eyes filled with distrust.
“I’ve taken care of Ah Zhi for nearly 30 years and treated him as my own son. I would never hurt him. You’re the person he loves. I’ll care about the people related to him too… I don’t want to hurt you either.”
Chen Qinglian had a loving look on her face. “I was wrong before, and I’ll apologize to you. I’ve seen too many materialistic girls clinging onto Ah Zhi, and that’s why I mistook you for one of them. I hope Miss Jiang can forgive me and forget the unpleasantness of the past and have a calm talk with me.”
Jiang Yining looked at the time. “I’ll only give you five minutes. Let’s go to the milk tea shop next door.”
“Alright.”
Chen Qinglian readily agreed. 𝑓𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸𝑒𝘣𝘯𝘰𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝑜𝑚
After the two of them walked into the shop and sat down, Chen Qinglian asked, “What do you want to drink?”
“I don’t want to drink. If you have something to say, say it quickly.”
Jiang Yining’s attitude was rather cold.
Chen Qinglian thought to herself, “She’s got no manners.” But on the surface, she smiled gently and said, “Yining, look, you’re only nineteen, but Ah Zhi is almost thirty. You still have a bright future ahead of you, so why must you hang yourself on Ah Zhi?”
Jiang Yining nodded.
She felt that apart from his family background, Lu Zhi was inferior to her in every aspect.
Marrying him had indeed wronged her.
“I also have a daughter, so I understand the thoughts of parents. Your parents must be the same as me, and they don’t want you to marry Ah Zhi.”
Chen Qinglian took out a check from her pocket and held Jiang Yining’s hand. “Here’s seven million. It’s enough for you to live comfortably for the rest of your life. Take this money and find a chance to leave Ah Zhi.”
Jiang Yining lowered her eyes and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.
She revealed a mocking smile.
She thought that this auntie had changed her personality.
Unexpectedly, it was filled with the stench of money as usual.
Did she really think that she could get rid of her with some money?
“Miss Jiang, what are you laughing at?”
Chen Qinglian asked.
Jiang Yining held the check in her hand and said, “I’m laughing at you being pitiful. I can earn this seven million easily. Who cares about this?”
As soon as she finished speaking, she tore the seven million check into pieces expressionlessly.
Chen Qinglian opened her mouth wide.
Jiang Yining stood up and threw the shredded pieces on her face. “Don’t come looking for me again. I wouldn’t be so polite to you again like today.”
