"For what you did before, I should hold you accountable. But for the sake of the two children..."
"Letting you stay last night was already the limit of my patience. Before I lose my patience completely, take your things and your agenda, and disappear immediately."
Jiang Nanfang was also furious, "Do you think I want to appear in front of you? You're too presumptuous!"
"You can let me go, but give me back the children! If I ever say another word to you, may I be cursed by my parents!"
Still not giving up? After all this, she still wants to take the children?
"It seems talking nicely to you is useless."
Zhan Beijue's eyes sharpened, he took out his phone and dialed a number, "Come in, and drag someone out."
——
Jiang Nanfang sat in the taxi that had been called, quickly calculating how to take the children and escape the Zhan family, while cursing Zhan Beijue in her heart.
What did he mean by not being polite if she appeared around the Zhan family again?
If it weren't for the children, she wouldn't come back to this cursed place even if she had to pay money!
He was so insidious and despicable, would he transfer the children while she was away…
As she was consumed by worry, a black commercial vehicle sped up from behind and overtook her taxi.
Jiang Nanfang's dim eyes instantly lit up.
"Driver, follow the car ahead."
Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a grand kindergarten. Two bodyguards escorted a small child inside.
Jiang Nanfang sat in the car and watched silently, thinking this was a good opportunity. She would take the child out after they left.
One minute, two minutes… the bodyguards finally came out. Watching them drive away, Jiang Nanfang rushed into the campus.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered, she saw a chaotic scene.
Ruìruì and a little boy of similar build were arguing, grabbing each other's collars. The surrounding noise was overwhelming, and the teachers couldn't stop them.
"You don't have a mommy!"
"My mommy is the most beautiful and gentle person in the world, you're just not worthy of seeing her! If you talk nonsense again, I'll beat you until you can't find your teeth!"
The other boy laughed scornfully.
"You just don't have a mommy! You're a wild child who popped out of a rock! Otherwise, let your mommy come and show everyone!"
"If you can't call her, you're lying! Na na na ~ You're just a little wild child who lies every day!"
Ruìruì's soft spot was poked, and his large eyes were blazing with anger.
Seeing him raise his fist to fight the other, Jiang Nanfang squeezed into the crowd.
"I'm sorry, my darling, I'm late."
Being in an unfamiliar place, sent to school by Zhan Beijue right after returning, without her parents accompanying her for the transfer, children would be discriminated against.
Hearing her child being spoken to like that by his peers, Jiang Nanfang's heart ached as if it were being gripped.
Her face gentle, she squatted down, took Ruìruì's small wrist, and subtly pulled him into her arms.
"What's wrong? Mommy promised to bring you to school today but was late, are you angry?"
"I'm sorry, Mommy apologizes to you, and it will never happen again. Can you forgive me?"
She lowered her head and kissed Ruìruì's forehead, "Where is your sister? I owe her a kiss too, I came specifically to give it to you."
Ge'er was surprised to see Mommy here and cried with joy, quickly running over from the side and throwing herself into her embrace, "Mommy~"
The surrounding children opened their mouths in astonishment.
So Zhan Jingruì and Zhan Jingge weren't lying, they really had a mommy, and she was so beautiful, looking exactly like them…
Outside the crowd, the assistant, having received a call from the teacher, rushed to accompany Zhan Beijue, and happened to see this scene.
No wonder the child had been subtly asking Zhan Beijue for a mommy lately. It turned out it was at school…
No matter how tough he was in business, he was incredibly soft-hearted when it came to his children.
Looking at the mother and her three children being watched by others, he hid the anger on his face. He tried to be gentle, walked through the crowd, and slowly squatted beside them.
"My dears, Daddy is here too."
After dealing with the school matters, Zhan Beijue's mood was greatly affected. He sat in the back seat of the commercial car, closing his eyes to rest, while his assistant, Ah Zhong, reported to him.
"Vice President Gao just called saying there's a slight issue with the merger."
"The person in charge over there suddenly went back on their word, refusing to sign even for more money, and is even willing to pay the breach of contract fee…"
A large amount of capital was invested in the merger of this electrical company, and now they're pulling this stunt?
Zhan Beijue wanted to see for himself what they were up to.
Jiang Nanfang sat in the reception room, almost being treated like a venerated elder by Vice President Gao with several sticks of incense.
It made her feel quite embarrassed.
"I know that our side was not considerate in this matter, so let's not waste words. We will compensate as required.
Bring out the breach of contract agreement, I'll sign it, and this matter will be concluded soon."
Jiang Nanfang was eager to leave, but Vice President Gao kept trying to persuade her.
“…Why don't you give us an explanation? Are you dissatisfied with our company, or do you think the price is unreasonable?"
Because of personal matters, I don't want to invest in Nancheng right now!
"CEO Jiang, you speak with such confidence." Before Jiang Nanfang could finish speaking, Zhan Beijue directly pushed open the conference room door and said coldly.
The next second, Zhan Beijue, who had just thwarted her attempt to take the children from school, reappeared in her vision.
CEO Zhan, could it be that your real estate company went bankrupt? And you're planning to dabble in the electrical industry as well?
Jiang Nanfang looked at Zhan Beijue's appearance, a bad premonition rising in her heart. Could it be that Gerui Electrical was related to him?
Meanwhile, Zhan Beijue's emotions were also stirred: Was she the representative of the acquired company?
No wonder she suddenly refused to cooperate. Most likely, she found out he was the CEO of the electrical company and intended to raise the price.
Ha, this woman who never forgot to play mind games, no matter where she went!
"The representative of Nanfang Electric? Has her identity been verified? Are you sure she can represent that company?"
Vice President Gao was stunned by the remark, "No need for verification, right? I met Representative Jiang at an electrical exchange conference in Germany. I contacted her at the time because I was impressed with her products."
Is that so? She's even fishing for rich men at technical exchange conferences?
Her methods are becoming more sophisticated.
Zhan Beijue sneered and asked Vice President Gao to leave first.
After all, she was his ex-wife, and exposing her in front of outsiders would not be good for him.
With only the two of them left in the conference room, Jiang Nanfang knew what he was going to say. She calmly picked up her bag beside her and tossed a stack of documents over.
"I am the company's legal representative, executive president, and chief technical engineer. I have 100% control over Nanfang Electric. Feel free to verify if you don't believe me."
She is the chief technical engineer of Nanfang Electric?
Does this mean that the new type of circuit breaker that Vice President Gao has been so eager about was actually designed by her?
Although Jiang Nanfang majored in electrical engineering in college and had excellent grades, Zhan Beijue absolutely refused to believe that she could design a world-class product in just a few years.
Because she didn't deserve it.
Could such a malicious and scheming woman focus on researching technology? Zhan Beijue absolutely did not believe it.
"Documents can be faked. I don't believe anything except my own eyes. You don't need to show me these."
"Be direct. What is your true intention?"
Does he suspect me of being a fraud?
Jiang Nanfang was too lazy to waste time with this paranoid person. She stood up.
"Give me back the children, and let me leave."
She wanted to go out and talk to Vice President Gao. As she passed by Zhan Beijue, he grabbed the back of her collar.
"Breaching the contract requires compensation. You want to leave before we've finished talking?"
Unexpectedly, both of them used force.
The T-shirt the nanny had lent her that morning was pulled up by Zhan Beijue, revealing a section of her midriff.
A striking white expanse appeared on her waist. Both of them looked down simultaneously and saw her smooth, flat abdomen, and the faint lines of her abs on either side…
It felt as if their bodies were suddenly electrified, and a surge of heat rushed uncontrollably to Zhan Beijue's head.
Six years ago… on the sofa… everything that this waist had brought him… the memories instantly returned…
The terrifying thing was that, unlike before, the memories were not accompanied by anger.
Looking at that section of snow-white skin, he felt a heat all over his body and an urge to touch it…
To his right was the conference table, on which sat the tea that Vice President Gao had just poured for Jiang Nanfang.
Seeing him holding her clothes and staring intently at her waist, and thinking of the well-decorated nursery in his house.
Jiang Nanfang thought: As expected, a dog can't change its nature. He's already married with a wife, yet he still casually stares at women? Trash!
"Splash!"
She grabbed the teacup and threw it at Zhan Beijue's face.
"Let go of me!"
Feeling something hot flying towards him, Zhan Beijue instinctively turned his head to dodge.
However, it was too late. He dodged his face, but his jaw and chest were thoroughly doused.
Zhan Beijue turned his head back. Clear water droplets rolled down his jaw and onto his firm Adam's apple, then flowed into his neatly ironed shirt…
The soft fabric of the shirt clung tightly to his skin. Jiang Nanfang could see the firm muscle contours underneath.
Zhan Beijue hadn't intended to pull her clothes.
He just wanted to clarify things before she left ambiguously.
Jiang Nanfang didn't see it that way.
"If I'm not mistaken, you're already remarried. As a married person, please mind your behavior!"
"I'm not some delicate little sister. If you try to flirt with me, throwing hot water at you is considered mild!"
"Get out of the way!"
Zhan Beijue looked at her with her eyebrows raised in anger and thought, her personality hasn't changed at all. After so many years, she still likes to shift the blame.
He must have seen a ghost just now to have such feelings for her.
He lowered his head and looked at his shirt with disgust, "Flirt with you? You really flatter yourself."
"I don't want this outfit anymore. The compensation will be added to your breach of contract. You like paying money, don't you? I'll grant your wish."
"..."
This calculating, blame-shifting, petty man!
Jiang Nanfang really wanted to pour another cup of water on him!
But considering that she didn't have to sell her company to him and would no longer have any dealings with him in the future, Jiang Nanfang decided to endure it.
"If you want compensation, then so be it. Bring the contract, I'll sign it right now."
After saying that, she turned to go back to her seat, but her foot slipped on the wet floor.
"Ah—"
She lunged straight into Zhan Beijue's arms, her hands pressing against his damp chest, her lips colliding with his Adam's apple.
She hadn't even touched his skin on their wedding night, but today…
Jiang Nanfang felt as if her lips and palms were burning.
Similarly, Zhan Beijue felt goosebumps all over his body.
Her hands, lips, her entire being were so fragrant and soft. The strange feeling in his body that had just been suppressed surged again, and a certain part even involuntarily…
