Chapter 95: Do You Think You Deserve It?
Jiang Su stood up, “It’s my turn, I’ll go in first.”
He smiled, as if it was just a casual question.
Bai Mu also smiled and nodded, “Okay, Teacher Jiang, go ahead.”
As Jiang Su reached the door, he looked back at Bai Mu.
Bai Mu was already talking to someone else, gesturing as he spoke. He talked a lot.
…
After Jiang Su finished his audition, he received a call from Jiang Li Chuan.
“I’ve finished investigating the person you asked me to. Should I bring it to you, or should I send it?”
“Pick a place, I’ll treat you to dinner, and I’ll get the information then.” It was almost dinner time, it would be convenient to meet Jiang Li Chuan.
Jiang Li Chuan sneered, “Are you a glutton? Can’t you think of something more creative than treating me to dinner?”
Jiang Su: “…”
You can’t always walk at night; you’ll run into a ghost eventually.
If you talk back too much, you’ll get talked back to eventually.
Since he was asking for a favor, Jiang Su chose to swallow his anger, “What would you like instead?”
Jiang Li Chuan had won, feeling happy, “Come to Wangchuan, they recently hired a good chef, not worse than the old house.”
Xu Mochen had something to do, so Jiang Su went to Wangchuan alone.
Before lunch was ready, Jiang Li Chuan swirled his wine glass, “Drink something?”
“Drinking at noon?” Jiang Su raised an eyebrow, “Are you alright?”
“What could be wrong with me?” Jiang Li Chuan bent down and pulled out a brown paper bag, handing it to Jiang Su, “Look for yourself.”
Jiang Su opened the paper bag and looked at it.
Jiang Li Chuan took a sip of wine, “Bai Mu’s background is quite tragic, he grew up in an orphanage, he was adopted but abandoned, sent back to the orphanage…”
Jiang Su neither confirmed nor denied, “You’ve read it all?”
“Yeah.” Jiang Li Chuan sat up straight, his expression serious, “Read on.”
The first part of the information was Bai Mu’s life before entering the entertainment industry. Which school he attended, what awards he won, which families adopted him and abandoned him.
The latter part was Bai Mu’s life after entering the entertainment industry.
There were a few familiar names on the document.
Seeing Jiang Su staring at those names, Jiang Li Chuan leaned over to explain.
“That’s right, these old guys, are the people we called uncle, those old bastards actually dared to lay their hands on someone almost the same age as their son…”
In high society, there were many people who acted recklessly relying on their power.
Jiang Li Chuan looked sideways at Jiang Su, “By the way, why are you investigating him?”
“He targeted Huo Qingyan on the show, I found his boldness strange.” Jiang Su closed the documents.
Jiang Li Chuan snorted, “I don’t think it’s strange, look at his experiences, perhaps he’s someone who has nothing to lose!”
Jiang Su recalled Bai Mu’s words during the audition.
—”Everyone has a devil inside.”
…
After dinner, Jiang Su went to the hospital to see Huo Qingyan.
At the ward door, Jiang Su realized he had come at the wrong time.
“Qingyan, please, give me another chance…”
Zhou Fu chased Lin Siyue out of the ward, expressionless, “I advise you not to disturb Mr. Huo again, you know, Mr. Huo has a bad temper.”
When he caught sight of Jiang Su, Zhou Fu’s expression changed slightly, “Mr. Jiang…”
As soon as Lin Siyue saw Jiang Su, he rushed towards him.
Jiang Su dodged, and Lin Siyue fell to the ground with a thud.
“Jiang Su, I was wrong before, I’m kneeling to apologize, can you ask Qingyan not to withdraw his investment? If he withdraws, our family is finished, please!”
He couldn’t imagine what kind of life he would have after the family company went bankrupt. As long as the company didn’t go bankrupt, he would do anything.
Jiang Su bent slightly, his hands on his knees, looking down at Lin Siyue.
“Mr. Lu Xun said, we should beat a fallen dog, you’ve studied for so many years, haven’t you heard this saying?”
Jiang Su’s skin was fair, when he smiled slightly and spoke slowly, he had a frail and deceptive youthful air.
But those who knew the Jiang family knew that none of them were frail and deceptive.
Jiang Su just had a deceptively innocent face.
The gentleness he showed to Huo Qingyan was only after he had humbled himself.
Now he didn’t even care about Huo Qingyan, let alone Lin Siyue’s request.
Lin Siyue suddenly understood how stupid he had been.
Ultimately, he didn’t really understand Huo Qingyan or Jiang Su.
But he thought he could, single-handedly, disrupt Huo Qingyan and Jiang Su’s marriage.
He was just a clown.
Lin Siyue smiled bitterly, “Have you never taken me seriously?”
He remembered what Jiang Su had said in the corridor at Shen Xiume’s party.
He had thought Jiang Su was arrogant at the time, now he understood that it was he himself who was arrogant.
Jiang Su chuckled, “Do you think you deserve it?”
The lightest tone, but with extreme disdain.
Shame washed over Lin Siyue, he said unwillingly, “Jiang Su, I hope your Jiang family will always prosper!”
If the Jiang family declined, he didn’t believe Jiang Su could still be so proud!
Jiang Su slowly straightened up, “Don’t worry, even if Huo Qingyan goes bankrupt, our Jiang family will still prosper.”
“Mr. Huo?”
Zhou Fu had been watching Jiang Su diss Lin Siyue, he heard a noise behind him and found Huo Qingyan walking over. He must have heard what Jiang Su had just said.
But Mr. Huo’s expression was calm.
That’s right…
After all, Mr. Jiang had previously cursed Mr. Huo to be struck by lightning, cursing Mr. Huo to go bankrupt didn’t seem so unacceptable.
Huo Qingyan only glanced at Lin Siyue, and without saying a word, scared Lin Siyue into running away.
Huo Qingyan looked at Jiang Su and softly said, “I didn’t know you would come today.”
After all, Jiang Su’s expression wasn’t good when he left yesterday.
If he had known Jiang Su would come today, he would have asked Zhou Fu to bring bodyguards to prevent Lin Siyue from bothering Jiang Su.
Jiang Su heard his implication and looked at him with a faint smile, “Self-preservation is paramount, what do you think Lin Siyue did wrong?”
Lin Siyue had done many things wrong. He was greedy and manipulative. But what did that have to do with Jiang Su?
At that time, Jiang Su only cared about Huo Qingyan’s attitude.
Just as later, Huo Qingyan only cared about Jiang Su’s opinion of him.
Beneath these calm words were sharp barbs only Huo Qingyan could understand.
Huo Qingyan’s face paled. He deserved this.
