Chapter 197: Use

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Jiang Chen knew Yuan Shu’s personality and her personal charm very clearly. He knew that Yuan Shu would definitely train s.h.i.+ Yi well and arrange for her to be with Yushu Buyi, so that she could focus on being a designer.

However, Jiang Chen had underestimated s.h.i.+ Yi’s strength and talent. She was very talented as a designer. If Jiang Chen only relied on Xu Lang to manage Down Ridge Clothes Workshop, it would be very difficult to put pressure on Yushu Buyi. At this time, only Xu Zhi could help him.

He let the two of them meet and get to know each other, helping their relations.h.i.+p escalate to the next level. Finally, he let them find out about each other’s ident.i.ties and cut off this relations.h.i.+p.

Jiang Chen knew how to destroy a person. He used what they cared about the most to make them lose their rationality. In the end, they would fall into his trap.

Attacking one’s mental defenses was the most important. This was a strategy taught to him by Yuan Shu, and now, he had already learned how to use it.

Jiang Heng was anxious, but he didn’t dare to speak, since he knew about his cousin’s ability to bewitch people.

He didn’t want to marry Xu Xin at all. However, he didn’t expect that after being scolded by his cousin, he would fall into his trap unknowingly. When he came back to his senses, the marriage was alreayd being prepared.

What made him even more frustrated was that he didn’t expect this cousin of his, who wasn’t close to the Xu family, to be such a hopeless romantic and dilly-dally so long for a woman. He was really the same as his cousin!

However, Jiang Heng didn’t dare to say this in front of Jiang Chen.

Actually, Xu Zhi was already persuaded. He had always been a stubborn person. He insisted on his opinion at the fabric exhibition and discussed it with s.h.i.+ Yi for a long time.

He wouldn’t argue or compromise. It was just that he was obsessed with certain things. He was rational enough to know what to do and what not to do.

However, he also knew that he wasn’t someone who could let go so easily. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have given up on what he was going to say at the jewelry shop just because he was worried that he couldn’t be able to be responsible for s.h.i.+ Yi.

Therefore, even though s.h.i.+ Yi told him not to contact her again, even though he knew that the two of them couldn’t contact each other again, he was very sure that he couldn’t abstain from looking for her forever.

After about five minutes, Jiang Chen guessed that Xu Zhi had already thought it through, so he said, “If you can’t be her lover, at least you can be her enemy and stay in her world forever.”

Rather than saying this for Xu Zhi to hear, it was more like he was saying it for himself. Even if they couldn’t be lovers, they could at least be enemies.

[If I can’t have your love, then hate me. At least don’t forget me. At least don’t have no feelings for me at all.]

The last line of defense in Xu Zhi’s heart completely collapsed. Since he had fallen for her, they might as well pester each other to the end.

“Okay, Cousin, I’ll help you.”

On the other side, in the s.h.i.+ family’s villa, s.h.i.+ Xiao and Yuan Shu chatted all the way. Although the two of them were very relaxed, the mystery about Jiang Chen still made them feel heavy-hearted.

After the car stopped, the two of them ended the conversation tacitly. This was their problem and they should not implicate s.h.i.+ Yi.

As soon as the two of them entered the villa, Li Yue walked over with a worried expression. “Eldest Young Master, Young Madam, Second Miss’s expression hasn’t been acting normal ever since she came back. She didn’t say anything and sat alone in her room the entire time. Did something happen?”

Yuan Shu and s.h.i.+ Xiao looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other’s eyes.

They were busy with their own matters and had no time to pay attention to s.h.i.+ Yi. Did something happen at the banquet?

After Yuan Shu removed her high heels and changed into comfortable slippers, her heels relaxed, and even her calves felt more comfortable. Then, she said to s.h.i.+ Xiao, “Don’t worry. I’ll go to my room to change my clothes and then go to s.h.i.+ Yi’s room to see her.”

s.h.i.+ Xiao nodded. Indeed, girls were more suited for such problems. Having a female head of the household at home really saved him a lot of trouble..
