"So? Are you going to tell me that the person in those photos isn't you?" The cold voice filled the small space, suddenly dropping the temperature in the elevator by several degrees.
"It is me, but things aren't as you think. Jiang Chengmu did this purely to protect Lu Manqing; I was just the one being used. Even if it looks like we're showing off our love, it's just for those paparazzi to see!"
"Really? You are quite kind!" Mu Tongzi scoffed lightly, turning to give her a cool glance. "Why do you let yourself be humiliated like this? Why not just get a divorce? Wouldn't it be better for him to be with his beloved? Sweetheart, do you enjoy being mistreated? Even after being used like this, you can still remain so calm?"
"Do you think I want this? Jiang Chengmu holds ten percent of Wind Dust Group's shares; that's a threat to me. Besides, one shouldn't forget their gratitude. There's no way I could divorce him."
"Why are you so much like a well?" Someone frowned at her, feeling both annoyed and helpless.
"What does a well have to do with me?" She looked up in confusion, blinking at him, unable to understand what he meant.
"What are the characteristics of a well?!"
"Horizontal and vertical are both two..." Suddenly realizing the mockery in his words, she shot him an annoyed glare. "You're the one who's two! I'm considering the bigger picture, sacrificing myself for the greater good. The Jiang family saved my father's life; otherwise, I would have long since withdrawn from this marriage. If my dad were as successful as you in business, Wind Dust Group wouldn't be in such a state today, and I wouldn't have to lower myself before the Jiang family for that ten percent of shares!"
Forced into a corner, she was always at a disadvantage. She thought she had balanced things out by winning against Jiang Chengmu but didn't expect another opponent in Mu Tongzi, making her lose every time and even facing threats from him. It felt like she was having a streak of bad luck!
"Haven't I told you that I can help? Do you really think I can't get that ten percent of shares back for you? There are many ways to repay kindness; do you really have to sacrifice your entire life for it? The benefits the Jiang family has gained from Wind Dust Group have long exceeded the value of that ten percent of shares, so hurry up and put away your womanly kindness!" He felt both love and hate for her stubborn yet confused personality.
"It's not..." She shook her head, looking at him seriously. "No one is kind to someone for no reason. You can't possibly help me unconditionally. Rather than having you help with conditions attached, I'd rather stay by Jiang Chengmu's side; at least that's how his mother wants me to repay them, and I also know what his intentions are."
If she had to choose between Mu Tongzi and Jiang Chengmu as opponents, she would undoubtedly choose Jiang Chengmu without hesitation. Mu Tongzi's thoughts were deep and inscrutable; even though there was currently an ambiguous relationship between them, she still couldn't understand why a man of his status, who never lacked women, would choose someone like her who was already married.
There are countless women who are a hundred times better than her in terms of family background and appearance. Why did he choose her?
If it were just out of a desire to conquer, she could understand that. However, his unconditional help to her, even going so far as to oppose Jiang Chengmu, makes it hard for her to believe that there are no ulterior motives.
She would have been fine not explaining, but this serious explanation only infuriated him even more!
