“······” She trembled slightly, avoiding his gaze, not wanting to discuss this topic any further, fearing he might suspect Mu Tongzi.
Since he had already found out about Xue Yiyang, let him misunderstand; after all, the truth and lies were intertwined. She indeed had a past with Xue Yiyang, especially since those photos were taken by his family.
After a pause, he continued, “Wife, remember my words: keep your distance from that man. If I find out you’re still with him, don’t blame me for being rude!”
“I’m not with him.” Gritting her teeth, she raised her head. “Since you said we have to be married for a full year, once the time is up, you must return my shares!”
“Fine! But during this time, you must keep your distance from Xue Yiyang! Otherwise, don’t expect to get even a tiny bit of the shares!”
The leverage is in your hands now; you should sign an Agreement with me to prevent you from going back on your word later! Call your lawyer over!
His already dark Eyes grew even colder at her words. He turned his head and bit down hard on her neck. “Wife, are you so eager to leave me?”
“Even if I’m eager, isn’t there still Half a year left? I just want to get back what belongs to my father. Jiang Chengmu, during this Half a year, don’t think I don’t know what shady dealings you’ve been up to to suppress Wind Dust Group. If you truly aren’t coveting anything from Wind Dust Group, then whether I get those shares or not doesn’t matter. After all, the Jiang family saved my father’s life; I’m not someone who forgets kindness. It’s just that you are ungrateful, so I can only be heartless!”
“You······” He narrowed his eyes, seemingly surprised that she knew all this. “How did you find out?”
These business secrets are known by very few people. Even if seasoned business veterans knew about his suppression of Wind Dust Group, they wouldn’t easily speak out due to the Jiang family's power unless Gu Fengchen told her. But as far as he knew, Gu Fengchen cared too much for his daughter to share such matters with her.
It seems that his Mrs. Jiang should not be underestimated!
“Why do you care how I found out? You married me to gain control of the Jiang Family, didn’t you? The Jiang family saved my father’s life; I played along for Half a year and compensated you financially. Now we’re even.”
“Even? How is that possible? Unless you plan to sit in the position of Mrs. Jiang for the rest of your life!” He stared at her intently as if trying to read something from her face, but unfortunately, her reaction was too calm and disappointed him.
“I can’t enjoy the glory and wealth of being Mrs. Jiang. I’d rather be with my own Beloved and live a simple life. If you still feel wronged, I can compensate you more financially.” She pried his hand away and turned to sit on the sofa, a fleeting sadness on her face that pierced his heart.
“Beloved?” Jiang Chengmu chuckled mockingly. “Xue Yiyang is now the future son-in-law of the O Family, while you are already my wife, Jiang Chengmu. As long as I don’t agree to a divorce, do you think there’s any chance for you two to be together? Financial compensation? Do you think I lack money?”
When he said this, even he didn't realize how bitter his words sounded, but he just couldn't stand seeing her in such a nostalgic state, wishing he could mock her fiercely.
"You think too much; I have no intention of being with Xue Yiyang."
She raised her head and looked at him calmly, her bright eyes clear and undisturbed. "I will handle what the media reported, and I will give an explanation to my family. You can call your lawyer and have him prepare the relevant documents to send over."
"..." After coldly staring at her for a moment, Jiang Chengmu was taken aback, suddenly realizing that he had come here to confront her, yet after all this commotion, he was now listening to her give orders!
What was wrong with him? How could he not even control something like signing an Agreement and let her dictate it? He was going crazy!
Taking a deep breath, he slowly regained his composure and tightened his fists. "Signing the Agreement is fine, but I have additional conditions!"
"What conditions?" She was genuinely terrified of various conditions.
"In the remaining half a year, fulfill your duties as Mrs. Jiang properly."
"What did you say?!" Upon hearing this condition, Green Qi suddenly stood up from the sofa, warily looking at the man across from her. "What duties are you talking about?"
What duties could there be between husband and wife? Besides taking care of the household, there were only marital duties left!
But she didn't love him; in fact, she hated him and couldn't possibly do that!
Seeing her panicked expression, Jiang Chengmu seemed to realize something and chuckled lightly. "Don't worry; I won't force you on the marital duties when you're not mentally prepared. In any case, you must live at my place from now on. When I'm not home, take care of your responsibilities as my wife; when I am home, cook for me."
"..." This condition wasn't difficult for her; the challenge lay in the fact that Mu Tongzi had proposed the same condition.
She couldn't possibly split herself to serve two men; this condition was simply unacceptable.
After hesitating for a moment, she slightly furrowed her brows and tried to negotiate. "I'm used to living here; I don't want to go to your place. Besides, it's too far from where I work. How about this: on weekends, except for the time I return to Jiang Residence, I'll go to your place. The rest of the time, you can do your own thing, which also avoids any awkwardness between me and your beloved."
This was the last compromise she could make. Mu Tongzi was harder to please than Jiang Chengmu, and she would rather offend Jiang Chengmu than Mu Tongzi.
It seemed rare for Jiang Chengmu to see her speaking so humbly, which inexplicably softened his heart. Even though he was reluctant, he eventually nodded in agreement, "Then let's do it this way!"
He did not want a divorce; this was probably the only way to keep her. The reason he proposed a one-year agreement was to use the remaining half a year to figure out what exactly he felt for her.
"I don't understand why you want to drag this out. Another half a year is just torture for both of us. You’ve always been carefree; why propose such a condition?"
"Because I suddenly realized that my Mrs. Jiang seems different from before. Can’t I give myself some time to appreciate that?"
"Boring!" She shot him an incredulous glare; such a reason was simply unbelievable!
It was unclear whether Jiang Chengmu was genuinely in a good mood or had some ulterior motive, but when he called the lawyer to come and sign the agreement, he was surprisingly agreeable.
After dinner, as they cleared the table, Green Qi glanced at the figure sitting in the living room watching TV, seemingly with no intention of leaving.
Having an extra person in the house felt uncomfortable. Since the lawyer hadn’t arrived yet, she couldn’t ask him to leave and could only wait patiently.
As soon as she entered the study, someone followed her in. Turning to look at the man who had come in, she frowned slightly, looking unwelcoming. "What are you doing here? This is my home; shouldn’t you have permission from the owner to enter?"
The man standing at the door didn’t argue with her; instead, he politely stepped back to the entrance, raised his hand to knock on the open door, and smiled charmingly, "Wife, may I come in?"
