Rong Yin watched her retreating figure and said with a smile, "Jiang Nuan, fighting with me is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot."
Jiang Nuan stopped and looked back at him, her expression calm. "If thinking that way makes you feel better, then by all means, think that way."
"Jiang Nuan!" Rong Yin was furious. He had been defeated by her again. His face was filled with unwillingness, his peach blossom eyes brimming with anger.
"Jiang Nuan, I am a professional web weaver, and I specialize in catching stubborn birds like you. Just you wait, one day, I will make you, this arrogant woman, come to me yourself."
Jiang Nuan ignored him. In her opinion, Rong Yin was the type of person who would not give up on what he couldn't have. Once he got tired of it, he would leave.
Yan Xi knew Rong Yin and would know where she was. Yan Xi would also try every means to frame her and ruin her.
No matter what noble status she had in the future, a leopard never changes its spots. She did not want to repeat today's events, where she had to act and even get slapped twice.
Mu Jiu Chen was very domineering. He had slapped Lin Su twice for her. Men generally don't hit women, and men who hit women aren't necessarily bad men; it depends on the situation. But her life was tiring like this, and Mu Jiu Chen was also tired. It would be better for them to go their separate ways and be at peace.
She wasn't born into this world to cater to everyone. She wanted to live for herself.
Rong Yin watched Jiang Nuan leave with unwillingness. Failing again made him very frustrated. This damned Jiang Nuan was so elusive.
Wait, had he used the wrong method?
No, tomorrow he would try another method, perhaps...
Heh heh...
Rong Yin smiled sinisterly. He wanted to try.
After Jiang Nuan returned home, she took a hot bath and, without even eating dinner, went straight upstairs to sleep.
...
Lin Hai and Tang Lin chased Mu Jiu Chen back to his company.
Xiao Fan found the couple troublesome.
"Mr. Lin, I'm sorry, Ninth Master is currently very angry. If you go in, you'll only be asking for trouble."
Lin Hai pleaded, "Assistant Xiao, please be accommodating and let me in. My company cannot be destroyed like this. That is the effort of my half-life."
"Mr. Lin, I can understand your feelings, but you should also understand my predicament. If I let you in, I'll lose my job." Xiao Fan wouldn't let them in. This couple was very troublesome.
"This..." Lin Hai dared not force his way in at this moment. The mobile phone in his hand vibrated incessantly, letting him know the severity of the situation.
With a single word from Mu Jiu Chen, their company's fate was sealed. It was simply too outrageous.
Tang Lin, in her desperation, thought of her acquaintance with Mu Jiu Chen's father. She immediately grabbed Lin Hai's hand. "Husband, call Mu Yun Xiao. His son is acting so erratically because of a woman. His father will not allow it, especially since withdrawing investment will also cost them a lot of money."
"Heh heh..." Xiao Fan sneered. "Mrs. Lin, I think you're wasting your efforts. It's clearly your own daughter who is vicious and venomous. You don't apologize or admit your mistakes, but instead try every way to fix them. I think you're truly beyond saving."
After speaking, Xiao Fan turned and entered the office, leaving Lin Hai and his wife staring at each other.
Mu Jiu Chen sat lazily in the leather swivel chair, his hands hanging loosely. His exceptionally handsome face was expressionless, but upon closer inspection, his ink-black eyes held a deep rage.
When Xiao Fan entered and saw his master like this, he dared not linger. He lowered his head, trying to minimize his presence, wanting to slip out quietly.
But before he could take two steps, he heard the sound of something being smashed next to him. He instantly stopped daring to move and forced himself to turn around, only to see Mu Jiu Chen smashing everything on the desk.
"This is too much," Mu Jiu Chen roared.
He had tried his best to save her, but instead of being touched, she had indifferently said to meet less often in the future and reduce unnecessary trouble.
"Yes, yes, yes, Master. Lin Su is too much. She shouldn't have taken her anger out on Miss Jiang because of you. Lin Su is truly going too far. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to chop her up. If she likes you, she can't allow other women to like you. This woman is truly detestable." Xiao Fan spoke timidly. In fact, he understood that Mu Jiu Chen was referring to Jiang Nuan's being too much, but he didn't consider that Jiang Nuan was suffering because of him.
Mu Jiu Chen's anger indeed lessened a bit.
Xiao Fan pressed on, voicing the suspicions in his heart.
"Ninth Master, think about it. Miss Lin Su knows Miss Jiang's whereabouts so clearly. It's likely that a servant in your house has been bribed by Lin Su. Otherwise, she wouldn't have known that Miss Jiang was at the supermarket near your house."
This kind of thing had happened many times. Many young ladies used all sorts of tricks to marry the CEO.
But among all the young ladies he had seen, he still liked Jiang Nuan the most. Jiang Nuan was exceptionally beautiful. Not only were her eyes full of spirit, but her entire being exuded an aura of mystique, possessing a beauty that could topple cities and nations. Such a person was worthy of Ninth Master.
Righteous, beautiful, kind, and a good cook – this was the kind of woman a man should marry.
Mu Jiu Chen's anger was dispelled by Xiao Fan, who understood him, with just a few words.
"You're saying there's a problem with the servants in my house?" Mu Jiu Chen looked at Xiao Fan with icy eyes.
Xiao Fan nodded vigorously and, emboldened, said, "Ninth Master, this sort of thing has happened many times before. Think about it, why did Lin Su know precisely where Miss Jiang was at the supermarket and even bring two bodyguards to directly take Miss Jiang away?
Miss Jiang's words today are actually understandable. Women who like you, Master, cannot stand to see other women by your side and will try every way to drive them away. You shouldn't lose your temper. You should be grateful that Miss Jiang Nuan is thinking for you."
Mu Jiu Chen was confused by Xiao Fan's roundabout logic. How did it turn out to be his fault in the end?
Seeing that he wasn't venting his anger, Xiao Fan continued, "Master, actually, Miss Jiang could have resolved today's incident herself. Have you forgotten Miss Jiang's combat skills, Ninth Master? With Miss Jiang's skills, those two bodyguards couldn't have done anything to her. Miss Jiang actually didn't want to let the perpetrators go today either."
"Master, you are so alike. You don't go easy when you set someone up."
These words instantly pleased Mu Jiu Chen. The Ninth Master, who had been furious moments ago, suddenly became like a tamed wild horse, his entire demeanor softening.
As the saying goes, those who are alike naturally come together. It's no wonder they are so similar.
"Alright, you can go. Keep an eye on the Lin family's affairs and investigate the matter with the servants."
"Okay, okay, Ninth Master, I'll go right away. I'll go right away." Xiao Fan left happily, feeling smug about having appeased his master.
After he left, he saw that the Lin Hai couple was no longer there. It was good that they were gone; it saved him the trouble of wasting his breath.
He quickly gathered his men to handle the matter.
After Xiao Fan left, He Ming Run also arrived.
As soon as he entered and saw the mess on Mu Jiu Chen's desk, he frowned slightly and sat elegantly on the sofa.
"Why did you come back..." Mu Jiu Chen saw that it was He Ming Run and immediately stopped speaking.
"Why are you here?"
