Jiang Chaoge returned from Jiang Bin’s place, feeling particularly excited.
After so many years, she’s finally fulfilled her dream!
The feeling of being from a sideline branch, others wouldn’t understand, but she’s all too clear. As she walked her path, she watched Chu Yan receive so much affection in the four major families, she watched Gu Mingzhu having a little talent that woman called Tang Yuan could praise to high heaven.
And herself, working so hard, yet whenever there were events in the four major families, she was never the focus.
And now, it’s finally her turn. Chu Yan is gone far away, Gu Mingzhu has nothing now, Gu Anxi is in the lilight but has fallen out with King Jingyao, it’s her best opportunity...
Jiang Chaoge drove back to her suburban ho, a two-story small building she bought two years ago for over ten million. This was the best life she could offer herself.
Just as the car stopped, Jiang’s mother ca out beaming with joy: "Chaoge, you’re back."
Jiang Chaoge turned off the engine, and smiled faintly: "What’s up, Mom?"
Jiang’s mother gave a mysterious smile, taking her daughter’s arm: "It’s like this, I talked with an aunt and we’ve arranged a match for you. Go see him tomorrow at noon."
Jiang Chaoge, in her mont of triumph tonight, has her mind set on getting a grip on King Jingyao, not at all interested in blind dates. Besides, among the people her mother knew, there wouldn’t be anyone up to her standards, so she thoughtlessly rejected: "Mom, work is my priority now, I don’t want to think about these things."
Unaware of her thoughts, Jiang’s mother smiled mysteriously: "This ti you will definitely like him. He’s tall, handso, has a good nature, good position, and inco. I like him very much."
By this ti, the two had reached the living room. Jiang Chaoge threw her bag on the sofa, smiling faintly: "Mom, where is such a perfect person?"
Jiang’s mother pressed her shoulders, making her sit down: "Of course there is! I know you’re focused on your career, but every woman needs a settlent, right? Chaoge, you’re almost thirty, you have to plan for your future. Now’s the ti to earn more, what if you can’t find a good one later on?"
Jiang Chaoge enjoyed the comfort of her mother’s massage, her eyes slightly closed: "Mom, how do you know I can’t find a good one?"
Jiang’s mother laughed: "This ti, you must et him, I feel you two are destined."
She said many good things about the man. Generally obedient, Jiang Chaoge didn’t want her mother to know her thoughts, so she responded: ’Then I’ll et him, but Mom, if I don’t like him, don’t force , an unwilling fruit is not sweet.’
With her saying this, Jiang’s mother was overjoyed, "I won’t force you, you’ll like him."
Having said this, Jiang’s mother went upstairs to call her friends and set a ti for them to et.
Downstairs, Jiang Chaoge rubbed her shoulders and leaned against the sofa, not taking this matter seriously at all, her mind full of projects, the position of Mrs. Wang, and having Gu Anxi under her feet.
The grudge between her and Gu Anxi was big.
The grudge over the apprentice brother.
The grudge over showing off.
The grudge over King Jingyao, why would she occupy King Jingyao’s affections if she wasn’t interested? Although King Jingyao had so feelings for Lin Hua, compared to Gu Anxi, that was really nothing. The more Jiang Chaoge thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt, a mix of joy and sorrow in her heart, finally turning into fighting spirit.
A night of plotting passed. In the dayti, she again studied Gu Anxi’s surgery on King Jingyao at Jiang’s Hospital, using so thods to find materials and conducted experints on animals.
However, it failed.
Jiang Chaoge took off the mask, coldly said to the assistant: "Dispose of it?"
The assistant, a new intern, cautiously asked her: "Dr. Jiang, shouldn’t we try to save it? It might survive."
Jiang Chaoge turned her head, looking at the suffering, twitching rabbit, she said calmly: ’It’s just an experint, it’s of no value even if it’s saved.’
The intern didn’t dare say anything more. After Jiang Chaoge left, she held the rabbit sadly for a while and finally gave it a euthanasia injection.
She actually felt uncomfortable about this, obviously, this experint didn’t require humane destruction, but Dr. Jiang seed cold-blooded and didn’t care much about these small animals.
*
Jiang Chaoge certainly didn’t care, she only cared about experint results, only about her fa.
The life and death of a rabbit were simply unimportant.
As she was scratching her head in her office, her mother’s call ca, still beaming with joy: "Chaoge, are you ready, weren’t we eting the other party for lunch at the restaurant?"
Jiang Chaoge then rembered, "Okay, I’ll be there in a bit."
Her mother again reminded her: "Dress up nicely, don’t neglect your appearance, n don’t like career won that much."
Jiang Chaoge rubbed her forehead: "Mom, I know."
Feeling a bit annoyed, she casually put on light makeup and went to the appointnt. When she got there, both her mother and the other party had arrived. She sat down, politely saying: "Sorry for being late, traffic was bad."
But as soon as she sat down, she was stunned.
Sitting across from her, it was Chen Ming and his mother.
It was obvious that Chen Ming didn’t know about this either, his expression was telling. Jiang Chaoge’s voice imdiately went hoarse: "Mom, Aunt Chen, how co you’re..."
Chen Ming’s mother, who had recently arrived in Beicheng, was very happy and satisfied to see Jiang Chaoge: "Chaoge, haven’t seen you in a long ti, you’ve beco more and more beautiful."
Jiang Chaoge forced a smile, sipping her tea as she looked at Chen Ming.
Chen Ming lightly cleared his throat, speaking to his mother: "Mom, Chaoge and I have been playing together since we were kids. If we were ant to be, we’d be together by now. You and Aunt Jiang just..."
Chen’s mother gave him a reproachful look: "Why do you say that? What’s wrong with Chaoge? Both of you kids focus on your careers and neglect lifelong matters. We, as elders, think for you, is there anything wrong with that? We know each other well, and the conditions match... If you have a child after getting married, we can still help with it. You young people can focus on your careers, where else can you find such good conditions?"
Chen Ming was a bit anxious: "Mom, there’s nothing between Chaoge and like that."
Jiang’s mother smiled: "Chen Ming, I know you’ve liked Chaoge for many years, I’ve seen this for myself. It wasn’t easy for your mother to co over, let’s have a al and speak our hearts out. As for Chaoge’s feelings, it should develop naturally, marriage next year isn’t too late."
Both elders were extrely enthusiastic, mainly because they knew each other well and felt they wouldn’t lose out.
Chen Ming helplessly looked at Jiang Chaoge, and Jiang Chaoge was speechless as well, but she had her calculations. Right now, refusing didn’t make sense, but if she said they’d see how it goes, her mother wouldn’t force her to go on blind dates anymore.
So, she nodded: "Alright, then we’ll see."
As soon as she said that, Chen Ming was dumbfounded, staring straight at Jiang Chaoge.
He would never narcissistically think she liked him!
Jiang Chaoge also looked at him, and then, Chen Ming understood... it was just an act!
He didn’t mind anyway, he was tired of blind dates too, so he slowly spoke: "Then, we’ll see."
Just as he finished, he suddenly raised his head, seeing Song Jia accompanied by Shen Congwen coming in, seemingly to dine, having heard his words.
Song Jia raised her eyebrows, her beautiful face showing three parts coolness, seven parts mockery.
