Jiang Nan Fang cursed him as scum in her heart.
Others might not know what was going on between them, but she knew herself.
For him to ask her to help him up was to show a complete lack of shame!
“I’m sorry, President Zhan. I have a child at home who needs my care. I need to rush back and won’t have time to look after you.”
“Our President Wang is much stronger than I am and has a similar build. He would be more capable of helping you up than I would. Perhaps he should assist you.”
She deliberately mentioned her child to remind him not to abandon the last shred of his conscience.
However, Zhan Bei Jue was shamelessly audacious to an appalling degree.
“Director Jiang, you look so young, I didn’t expect you to already have children. How many?”
Wang Lang closed his eyes, thinking, this is bad.
When did Jiang Nan Fang say anything about her children? Why mention it now?
Men preferred dealing with young and beautiful girls. Who liked a mother with children?
Wasn’t this deliberately causing trouble?
“Four. They’re all several years old now.”
“You’ve had four children and your figure is still this good. It seems Director Jiang is very disciplined. You must exercise often, you have enough strength to support me a couple of times.”
Zhan Bei Jue slung his arm over her shoulder and pulled her close.
“Since you’re in a hurry, let’s not waste any more time. Let’s go.”
The two left the private room in an extremely intimate pose.
Although nothing about work had been mentioned that evening, nor had Zhan Bei Jue’s contact information been requested.
But as he watched their receding figures and pondered their recent conversation, Wang Lang was happy and clapped inwardly.
“It’s done! He doesn’t even dislike her because she has children, this must be a done deal!”
Getting into the elevator and as the doors closed, Jiang Nan Fang shoved Zhan Bei Jue’s hand away and mockingly patted her shoulder.
“Are you sick, Zhan Bei Jue? Are you addicted to acting?”
Zhan Bei Jue feigned ignorance, standing lazily. “What am I acting in?”
“What are you acting in? I never realized you had such a split personality before!”
Thinking of the way he had embraced her just now, so lewd and practiced, she felt disgusted, knowing he must be like this with other women outside.
“I don’t care why you’re acting crazy today and need to make your presence known to me, but I’m warning you, this is the last time.”
“If we happen to meet elsewhere in the future and you dare to act like this again, don’t say I won’t be impolite to you.”
After speaking, she took out her phone to call Zhou Jin Bei and invite her back together.
Zhan Bei Jue saw Zhou Jin Bei’s name and snatched her phone.
Jiang Nan Fang was furious.
“What are you doing? Can’t you understand what I’m saying? Did I just speak to you for nothing? If you really have no regard for your reputation, I don’t mind causing a scene, getting you trending again!”
Seeing her anger, her reaction as if he were a monstrous flood, Zhan Bei Jue laughed instead of getting angry.
“Do you dare? Don’t you value this job quite a bit?”
“Your boss wants you to indulge me. If you anger me and the project falls through, won’t you lose your job?”
Hmph, threatening me with this, do you think it’s possible?
Jiang Nan Fang rolled her eyes at him.
“I have plenty of skills to earn a living, and this isn’t the only one.”
“I’m willing to give Wang Lang face because he’s my boss. If I’m unwilling to give him face, he’s nothing. Do you think I’m afraid of him?”
“Then why were you so subservient to me today?”
“That’s because Wang Lang promised me benefits. Otherwise, I would have directly broken your neck just now!”
She spoke with such conviction.
Originally, Zhan Bei Jue had intended to say something more… but he knew her personality; she wouldn’t believe it.
“Grandpa wants to see the children, so they’ve been sent back to the old house tonight. Since you’ve finally come out, let Zhou Jin Bei accompany you to relax.”
The elevator arrived. He put his arm around her shoulder again and led her out.
“Don’t worry, I’m not feeling well today and have no mood to do anything to you. There’s no need to be angry with someone like me.”
It’s good that you have some self-awareness and know to describe yourself as such a person.
Jiang Nan Fang walked out with him.
He must be a regular here, as soon as he appeared, the staff immediately stood up respectfully to greet him.
Slipping his arm away at this moment would be too disrespectful. Jiang Nan Fang held back.
Only when they were outside did she distance herself from him.
“Which way should I go? Where is Zhou Jin Bei’s room?”
“Follow me.”
Zhan Bei Jue led her directly to his room.
Seeing his clothes and computer in the room, Jiang Nan Fang knew she had been tricked.
Her eyes widened, and she turned to leave.
Zhan Bei Jue calmly stopped her. “I have a terrible headache. Do me a favor and call someone to bring some medicine.”
It was evident that he wasn't faking.
He kept rubbing his forehead intermittently all day.
And up close, she could see faint bruises under his eyes.
Jiang Nan Fang had heard him say before that he couldn't sleep when she wasn't around, and she couldn't help but mock him.
“No one to sleep with you at night, so dark circles under your eyes?”
“No.”
Zhan Bei Jue sat down on the sofa, took out a cigarette, and held one in his mouth.
Truly interesting.
When he had a wife by his side, he complained that one person accompanying him wasn't enough and insisted on finding someone else.
Now that there was only one left, one would think he’d be reluctant to let her go, keeping her by his side every day. Instead, he didn’t let her accompany him?
Did he have some serious illness?
Zhan Bei Jue lit the cigarette and took a puff, preempting her unspoken thoughts.
“She recently went abroad.”
Damn it! She shouldn’t have wasted her time talking nonsense with him!
Not only did he admit to the existence of this woman, but he was also chatting with her?
Jiang Nan Fang really wanted to take the cigarette and shove it down his throat!
“I’m sorry, I have no obligation to serve you. If you have the energy to smoke, you have the energy to make a call yourself. If you can’t handle it, then just die of pain. Why should I care about you?”
After speaking, she turned to leave.
Zhan Bei Jue’s faint voice reached her.
“You can’t leave tonight. This room is reserved for me year-round, and the lock is specially customized, only opening with my fingerprint.”
Jiang Nan Fang didn’t believe him and tugged at the door twice.
“Zhan Bei Jue, aren’t you disgusting?”
“No matter what you say today, I won’t let you leave. Hurry up and make the call.”
“I’ll call your sister!”
“Then I’ll call myself.”
He dialed the front desk in front of Jiang Nan Fang and added behind it,
“Bring two boxes of XX as well.”
Not only did he want to keep her in his room, but he also wanted condoms? Was he a beast?
It had been a long time since she had fought, and her bones were itching. Jiang Nan Fang cracked her knuckles.
“Do you think I’m afraid to call the police, or afraid to fight you?”
“Don’t be so violent. It’s for show to outsiders. I told you, if I don’t do this, Wang Lang will drag you out to smile and greet others in the future. This is helping you.”
At the villa’s front desk, Wang Lang was dragging Zhou Jin Bei behind him.
He was promising her benefits while begging her to put in a good word for him with Zhan Bei Jue, and also to get him a room for the night.
At this moment, a staff member received a phone call.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Jin Bei and Wang Lang exclaimed, “!!”
