Chapter 275 Compelled

Jiang Xing was taken aback by Yin Tao’s assertiveness. He quickly walked in front of her and lowered his voice slightly. “Can you act like a normal woman? Why do you always act like you are indifferent to everything?”

Yin Tao looked at the dismal Jiang Xing and couldn’t help but tease him, “If I cared about these things, why would I be someone else’s lover?”

Hearing Yin Tao’s words, Jiang Xing was in a daze for a moment. He suddenly realized that the woman in front of him might have actually become someone’s mistress out of her own free will.

If she was really a materialistic woman, there was no need to reject him like this.

Jiang Xing was used to meeting materialistic women. In their eyes, he was very important. At the very least, they wouldn’t treat him the way Yin Tao did.

When Jiang Xing thought of this, the way he looked at Yin Tao changed a lot. There was a hint of sympathy in his eyes, and his tone softened. “Did that kid from the Feng family threaten you?”

When Yin Tao saw Jiang Xing’s serious expression, she almost burst out laughing. “President Jiang, how did you come to this conclusion?”

“You don’t have to worry. I can help you solve the problem. That kid from the Feng family is no match for me!” Jiang Xing said seriously.

Yin Tao looked at the exceptionally confident Jiang Xing in front of her and thought of how he had lost everything in the underground casino.

“I will be really grateful if you can just pretend that you don’t know me, that alone would save me a whole lot of trouble.” Yin Tao couldn’t understand what Jiang Xing was thinking.

Initially, she thought that her identity had already been exposed in front of Jiang Xing. She didn’t expect him to be so slow. He even believed that she was Feng Jing’s mistress and even imagined she was compelled by circumstances.

Jiang Xing still felt that Yin Tao was afraid of that youngest son of the Feng family. He whispered to her, “I’ll treat you better than that kid from the Feng family. You can try me.”

Yin Tao didn’t know if Jiang Xing was confessing to her, but his attitude seemed quite sincere.

She asked, “Young Master Jiang, what exactly do you mean? Why are you putting in so much effort just to snatch a lover from an illegitimate child?”

Jiang Xing was a little embarrassed by what Yin Tao said. He had wanted to take revenge on Yin Tao because she had always despised him.

But now, things have taken a strange turn. What he said just now did sound like a confession.

“I just don’t think that kid is a good person. I just don’t like him.” Jiang Xing’s voice was very low. He didn’t even believe himself.

When Yin Tao heard Jiang Xing’s description of Feng Jing, she really wanted to record his words and play them to Feng Jing to see if he would settle the score with Jiang Xing.

After all, there were not many opportunities for people to say that Feng Jing was a bad person.

“You really don’t have to worry about these things.” Yin Tao didn’t give Jiang Xing any time to react. She simply turned and walked away.

She originally thought that Jiang Xing’s appearance would cause her more trouble. She did not expect him to have such thoughts of saving her.

Watching Yin Tao walk away, Jiang Xing was still convinced she must be hiding something. Otherwise, why would such a straightforward girl like her willingly become the mistress of an illegitimate child.

Yin Tao had wanted to find an opportunity to get to know more people related to Xu Rui, but because of Jiang Xing’s appearance, her plan was disrupted.

After getting into the elevator, Yin Tao had planned to return to the secretarial office to take a look. However, just as the elevator door was about to close, a man in a black suit walked in.

“Thank you.” The man was very gentlemanly. His temperament was similar to Lin Jia’s. He also wore a pair of thin-rimmed glasses, but he looked serious and also much colder than Lin Jia.

Yin Tao carefully sized him up, forgetting to press the elevator button.

“Which floor are you going to?” The man asked Yin Tao politely after pressing the button for the floor he was going to.

Yin Tao looked at the elevator button and the lit up button for the 52nd floor. Her eyes widened in surprise.

The man was headed for the top floor. If she remembered correctly, that’s where the President’s office was.

After confirming that the man in front of her was definitely not Wan Zhe, Yin Tao suddenly reacted and hurriedly replied, “I’m going to the secretarial department on the 13th floor.”

“Are you from the secretarial department?” The man asked.

Yin Tao nodded politely. “My name is Jiang Tao. I’m the new intern.”
