Chapter 194: Thought
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the Jiang family’s mansion.
Jiang Chen sat in front of the desk behind the screen in the living room. The computer in front of him was live-streaming the entire situation at the c.o.c.ktail party, including Xu Zhi and s.h.i.+ Yi’s awkward meeting, Yuan Shu and Song s.h.i.+’s argument, and the scene of s.h.i.+ Xiao’s hand on Yuan Shu’s waist.
Jiang Chen was playing with a very delicate dagger in his hand. The dagger was very sharp, and when it cut through the air, it even carried a sharp sword aura. When Jiang Chen looked at the dagger, it was as if he was looking down at a group of ants who didn’t know that they were about to die.
When he saw s.h.i.+ Xiao walk out of the banquet hall with his arm around Yuan Shu’s waist, his gaze became even colder.
Zheng Tian stood at the side silently and he was wearing a Bluetooth earpiece. The blue light on the Bluetooth earpiece was glowing, indicating that it was being used.
A certain attendant in the banquet hall broadcasted the entire process through the earpiece. From time to time, she would move through the banquet hall according to Zheng Tian’s instructions.
“It’s over.”
Jiang Chen stopped what he was doing and sheathed his dagger. The friction of the cold iron made a jarring sound.
After Zheng Tian heard the order, he pressed the b.u.t.ton on his Bluetooth earpiece and ended the call. Then, he took off his Bluetooth earpiece.
Zheng Tian stood behind Jiang Chen and listened to Jiang Chen’s orders quietly the entire time. Other than giving instructions to the attendant, he didn’t say a word.
He could hold back from asking, but Jiang Heng, who was sitting on the sofa in boredom, couldn’t help but ask.
Jiang Heng put down the phone that had run out of battery and turned his head in a very awkward posture to look at Jiang Chen. “Cousin, 1 don’t understand.
Did you plan so much today just to let Yuan Shu know that the gown was given by you?”
Jiang Chen closed the computer and crossed his arms in front of his chest. Then, he asked, “What else can I do?”
Jiang Heng didn’t understand. “You spent so much effort and even calculated the time for Song s.h.i.+ to see this gown here. You spent so much effort just for Yuan Shu’s sake?”
Jiang Heng really didn’t understand. With Jiang Chen’s strength and looks, what kind of woman couldn’t he get? As long as he curled his finger, all kinds of women, even women with better looks and figures than Yuan Shu, would throw themselves at him!
Although his cousin rarely went to nightclubs or had girlfriends in the past, he had interacted with women before, especially Song s.h.i.+, whom he was getting closer to. Jiang Heng guessed that the two of them were about to get married.
Unexpectedly, two months ago, his cousin seemed to have suddenly changed. There was no woman by his side anymore, and he kept watching Yuan Shu all day long. Even Song s.h.i.+ ignored him. Jiang Heng suspected that his cousin had been bewitched by Yuan Shu!
Other than her good looks, temperament, and figure, Yuan Shu wasn’t that outstanding. In that case, why did his cousin seem to be possessed?
After Jiang Chen got up and stretched his muscles, his bones made a series of crackling sounds. “Didn’t you stop after you got married? Why is it so hard to understand my actions?”
Jiang Heng nodded affirmatively. “How can that be the same? I’m married! My wife is pregnant with my child now, so it’s only right for me to care about her! But Yuan Shu is a married woman, you…”
Jiang Heng couldn’t hold back his words, but just as he finished his last sentence, he was suddenly intimidated by Jiang Chen’s chilly gaze. He trembled for a long time and couldn’t say anything else.
Jiang Heng didn’t know why. His cousin looked very gentle and even had a smile on his lips, but why was he so scary?
If it weren’t for the fact that Jiang Chen was his cousin, he really wouldn’t dare to be so presumptuous in front of him. No wonder Zheng Tian obeyed orders like a robot every day..
