CH 136

Jiang Tao had a lot of dissatisfaction with Jiang Nian. He felt that she was impolite and impudent, did not respect her elders at all, and did not reconcile with Guo Xiuyu for his sake, rubbing his face in the mud. She also deliberately humiliated Guo Xiuyu, putting him in an awkward situation … But even if he was dissatisfied, with the ten percent of the shares held in her hands as a temptation, he could only endure it. Jiang Nian was indeed wronged before, and until she is relieved, these things will be put off for later.

As a result, when Jiang Tao heard that Jiang Nian was still angry with Yang Hai, although he felt that it was nothing at all, he still had to take it seriously, and persuaded Jiang Nian earnestly, “I have cooperated with Yang Hai for several years, and we all know that he has some business sense. Although your aunt Guo pushed you to marry him, this is not what he meant. He has nothing to do with this matter, so don’t take you anger out on him.”

Jiang Nian thought about it and said seriously: “Okay, it seems that I hate Ms. Guo Xiuyu even more. I hope she will apologize next time and show her sincerity. Otherwise, I will not be relieved at all.”

Jiang Tao took a deep breath: “Xiuyu knelt down for you, and you’re still unhappy?”

Isn’t that natural? Guo Xiuyu’s kneeling can’t even match the big gold on her fingernails, how can it relieve her anger.

Jiang Nian said: “Ms. Guo Xiuyu’s unwilling apology is nothing. She didn’t realize her mistake at all. She knelt down and kowtowed to deceive me. It’s better not to. I’m afraid she’ll still use superstition to harm me should the opportunity arise.”

“…” He was choked for a long time, and he almost  had a heart out of anger, “Then how can you relieve your anger?”

Jiang Nian thought: “It depends on Ms. Guo Xiuyu. Now, let her give me a gift, as for what, I won’t specify, it depends on her sincerity.”

Jiang Tao still asked, “What kind of presents do you like?”

“I like expensive ones. ”

“…”

Hanging up the phone, Jiang Tao wiped away his sweat, thinking that although Jiang Nian’s personality was getting more and more strange, she was also very talkative. Isn’t it easy to give gifts? At least it looks more decent than kneeling.

When he got home, he immediately asked Guo Xiuyu to buy something the girls liked to send to Jiang Nian. Guo Xiuyu was quite puzzled, “Send something for Jiang Nian? What to send?”

Jiang Tao said, “You choose, oh, that’s right, buy whichever’s best.” What you pay now, you can always get it back in the future, not to mention Jiang Nian is very rich herself, so if you give a gift, it will be a step down for both parties.

Guo Xiuyu breathed a sigh of relief, she could see it, Jiang Tao was determined to let Jiang Nian come home. And for the shares in her hands, she herself was naturally willing to be tossed around and beg for forgiveness. Thinking about it, buying gifts was naturally easier than kneeling and admitting mistakes. Compared to kneeling, this demand is not a big deal at all. Guo Xiuyu remembered that she had rejected several invitations during this period, and had not been out for a long time. Several wives asked her to go out to play mahjong and have afternoon tea. She didn’t go, just because she was afraid she’d hear gossip that would make her lose face.

She’s good at buying gifts. Women, don’t they just like famous designers’ bags and jewelry? She immediately went to the store to buy a tens of thousands yuans worth bag and had them delivered to Jiang Nian.

She was smart, she didn’t go there in person, because she was afraid that her gift would not be enough, and that Jiang Nian would give her a slap in the face.

But contrary to what she expected, Jiang Nian was very happy to receive the bag. She happily carried the bag around for a few times, and even the old lady was a little surprised to see her so happy: “You like this bag so much, did you forgive that Guo Xiuyu?”

Jiang Nian shook her head: “No.”

“Then why are you so happy?”

“Guo Xiuyu is guilty, but the bag is not guilty, and I am not the kind of person who likes to take anger on the innocent out of confusion. I can still distinguish this point.”

Besides, she’s not a person with integrity, and it’s easy for her to bow down for money, of course, for her image, this kind of thing can only be known by herself, this is her top secret. No, Xue Hang might have known it long ago!

It seems that he is really a good person, he didn’t expose her even when he knew it. Such a generous person is really rare in the world.

The old lady: “…” How come she actually thought it made sense?

The old lady smiled and said, “You received Guo Xiuyu’s gift, don’t you worry that she has something to say? If she wants to spread the word, the outside world might scold you ignorantly.”

Jiang Nian raised her eyebrows: “I also have something to say first.”

Guo Xiuyu is too stingy, does she think that a bag is enough for reconciliation? Of course not! So when Jiang Tao called her, Jiang Nian said directly: “Ms. Guo has no intention of reconciling with me, can the things she did be offset by just a bag?”

Jiang Tao: “… …” This means that it’s not enough, gifts must continue to be delivered.

Jiang Nian added: “What I want to see is Ms. Guo Xiuyu’s sincerity. If you are on my side, you are not allowed to help her.”

Jiang Tao was helpless: “Okay, I see, I won’t help her, okay? ”

Jiang Nian reluctantly agreed.

Guo Xiuyu was not surprised when she heard this from Jiang Tao’s mouth. After all, if a bag of more than 20,000 yuan can make Jiang Nian clear her suspicions, it would be too easy. As long as she doesn’t kneel again, everything else is good.

“Husband, don’t worry, I know what to do.”

“Well. Jiang Nian won’t let me help you. You still have a lot of money in your card. You can buy first and wait until Jiang Nian’s anger is gone.”

“Okay, I understand.”

After that, Jiang Nian really received several gifts from Guo Xiuyu, including bags and jewelry, which were worth about 200,000 yuan. Jiang Nian was very happy to receive the gifts. Of course, she was waiting for Jiang Tao’s call, in which she could only say: “Do you think I will be relieved with such small things? It’s better for me to buy it myself, I just gave her a chance, she doesn’t want it, anyway, what I have is money.”

Yes, Jiang Nian was very rich.

Jiang Tao was very helpless, so he could only let Guo Xiuyu send something more valuable. Can hundred of thousands compare with Jiang Nian’s billions of net worth?

Guo Xiuyu thought about it, this is the reason, as long as Jiang Nian goes home and brings back the valuables in her hands, Jiang Tao only had Jiang Boxue as a son, isn’t it all her son’s? Besides, she has been very cautious in her life, and she will never leave her handle in Jiang Nian’s hands again.

What’s more, even if she doesn’t send it, can Jiang Tao be sure? It would only make Jiang Tao angry then. When the father and daughter oppose each other, it’s not worth the loss.

But she was also afraid that Jiang Nian was still playing with her after the first loss: “I’m afraid that no matter how much I give, it will be all useless, what if Jiang Nian still won’t forgive me?”

Jiang Tao said strangely: “Then it can only show that your sincerity is not enough. You asked me to do that at the beginning. You lied to me that Jiang Nian was a disaster star and killed the Xiao family and came back to harm my Jiang family. Otherwise, would all this have happened? Just do it.”

As a result, Guo Xiuyu could only be cruel on herself, and for once she sent such an expensive gift, a Patek Philippe watch, which cost nearly one million, and she was not so willing to buy for herself! The gift was bought, and she became more and more dissatisfied with Jiang Nian in her heart.

Jiang Nian accepted it, of course, she never mentioned anything else.

On the other hand, the bidding for the land in the north of the city had almost begun. Jiang Nian did not want Yang Hai and Jiang Tao to be happy, and she also thought of letting them join the land in a development zone in the south of the city. But, unfortunately enough, Guo Xiuyu was reborn and knew a thing or two, so she was naturally aware that an ancient tomb will be dug out of the ground there, thus this plan will naturally fail.

In this way, they could only grab that piece of land. It was not a loss either, because the land was really good, the surrounding transportation was convenient, and it was close to various public facilities, so it was a good location.

Of course, Jiang Nian couldn’t come forward, at least she couldn’t come forward at this time. Jiang Tao valued money, and Guo Xiuyu valued Jiang Tao’s money. She didn’t want to see Guo Xiuyu live in the house where the original owner’s mother lived.

Of course, if this matter was mentioned directly, it’s expected that neither Jiang Tao nor Guo Xiuyu would agree, and the latter would be even more afraid of her.

Jiang Nian was such a scheming person, of course, she wouldnot come out in the open. She could receive all kinds of gifts with little tricks, and it is especially worthwhile to receive gifts from others while hurting them.

Jiang Tao had been very busy recently, and Yang Hai had also been busy. For the land, the two gave a lot of gifts. They couldn’t count how many times they had dinner parties, let alone how many bottles of wine they had drank. Of course, all these efforts were rewarded with a good harvest, at least they were sure they had at least a 70% chance of this piece of land belonging to them.

However, when the day came, things were far beyond the expectations of Jiang Tao, Yang Hai and the others.

Because a company called Brilliant appeared from nowhere, and they desperately competed with them. At the end of the bidding, the amount greatly exceeded their expectations. Jiang’s lost a lot before, and he wanted to rely on this land to fight a beautiful turnaround, but never did he think that Cheng Yaojin would ambushe the enemy halfway*!

(半路杀出个程咬金, lit. Cheng Yaojin ambushes the enemy (saying) / fig. sb shows up unexpectedly and disrupts the plan)

Jiang Tao’s face turned black, and Yang Hai’s hands were shaking with anger!

“Who is that Mr.Jin?”

“I don’t know, I’ve never heard of such a person?”

“Will they continue to bid?”

Their funds are now separated in two bulk, one for the bidding, and the other for the later operation. Now that the price is beyond their estimations, they had to go to the bank for a loan at that time, but if they lost money…

The consequences were unthinkable.

They have been preparing for so long, and of course they don’t want to fall short, bid again!

The last piece of land was won, and it cost hundreds of millions more than expected.

…

Jiang Nian received a call from President Jin, who reported that the land fell in the hands of Jiang Tao and Yang Hai.

She sighed, but wasn’t too disappointed. What about getting the land? There are so many projects in this world that if you undertook half of them you’d be an immortal, not to mention that Jiang Tao and Yang Hai bled quite a bit, so that’s not bad.

Just when Jiang Tao and Yang Hai returned to the company, Yang Hai heard from his subordinates that a cooperation case they had been trying to achieve with Baoxin Company was snatched away by Xiao! They spent two months of hard work on the case, which was a must, it Lin was robbed by Xiao in the end?

He was so angry that he called Guo Xiuyu: “How come the dispute between you and Jiang Nian has involved me?”

Guo Xiuyu has been bleeding profusely recently and lost two or three millions of private property money, and didn’t receive any money from Jiang Tao. She was angry, and then she was questioned by Yang Hai at the moment, so she was not in a good mood: “You guys are angry outside, why are you all coming to get angry at me?”

Yang Hai said: “Xiao Zheng targeted my company, is that not because you offended Jiang Nian in the first place!”

“Can you blame me? You agreed with it back then. Don’t tell me you didn’t think about Jiang Nian’s beauty. If you want to take advantage of it, you have to suffer the risk!”

“…” To be honest, never would he have imagined that a woman as fragile as a flower, who looked as beautiful as a fairy to him, would have such courage and means to be able to deal with those old foxes. Today, she was able to retire under the acclaim of all parties and surrounded by money and power. Such a state of mind is rare in the world.

Yang Hai rubbed his forehead with a headache: “Forget it, what should I do after thinking about it? It’s been so long since that happened, and Jiang Nian hasn’t suffered any substantial harm. Since she’s intentional, she definitely wants to make peace now. If Jiang Tao restores their father-daughter relationship, you will work harder and ask her to forgive you, won’t these things be gone now?”

Guo Xiuyu said: “I have already sent millions of dollars’ worth of gifts, and I haven’t worked hard enough? I suspect Jiang Nian is still playing with me, she has no intention of reconciliation at all.”

Yang Hai retorted: “Jiang Nian has money in her hands . The bidding for this project exceeded expectations by too much, I have been robbed of several cooperation projects by the Xiao family one after another, and I don’t have much money, you think of a way.”

Guo Xiuyu immediately said: “See? Didn’t I say that Jiang Nian targeted us on purpose!”

She didn’t say more, she went to Jiang Tao excitedly, and told him what happened to Yang Hai, Jiang Tao was a little strangely happy after hearing that, because the Xiao family didn’t target him! It seems that Xiao Zheng really defended Jiang Nian and helped Jiang Nian to suppress Yang Hai. As for not targeting himself, it must be because he is Jiang Nian’s father… In this way, it can reflect Jiang Nian’s treatment of him.

As long as he is not losing, then Xiao’s relationship with Yang Hai has little to do with him.

If Yang Hai could relieve Jiang Nian’s anger by taking some of the guilt, then of course it would be better.

Seeing Jiang Tao’s attitude, Guo Xiuyu immediately understood what Jiang Tao was thinking, and couldn’t help but say, “Aren’t you afraid that Jiang Nian will first target Yang Hai, and then target our Jiang family?”

“I am Jiang Nian’s father, would it really hurt me if she hated you?”

“What if she did? Be prepared, husband!”

“…” Jiang Tao hesitated, he was selfish after all, Jiang Nian was profitable for him, but not a trustworthy person.

Jiang Tao said: “I have a sense of measure, don’t worry about me, look at the trouble you caused yourself, you’d better ask Jiang Nian to agree to reconcile with me!”

“…”

…

Jiang Nian received another special reconciliation gift. It was actually a set of gold jewelry, including necklaces, earrings, and bracelets. They were glittering, showcasing the majesty gold and exquisite workmanship. Of course, even if they were not too many, they could still fascinate her!

Xiao Zheng could see how happy Jiang Nian was when she received a gift every day, which made Xiao Zheng a little worried. So happy, did she want to reconcile with the Jiang family? So is she going to move back to Jiang’s house?

No.

“Sister-in-law, Guo Xiuyu doesn’t seem to have any good intentions at first sight. These gifts are here to trick you.”

Jiang Nian agreed: “Yes, she’s really good at making me happy.”

Xiao Zheng: “…”

He said seriously : “These things are worthless, don’t be deceived by their appearance.”

Jiang Nian disagreed: “Guo Xiuyu is wrong, but big gold is right, don’t look at material things with colored eyes. What did it do wrong, you are wrong.”

Xiao Zheng: “…???”

Xiao Zheng frowned.

Jiang Nian: “You have to be sensible.”

Xiao Zheng, who is not sensible: ……

Jian Nian in this chapter be like: “Even if it’s mosquito meat, it’s still meat!”
