"Did you go abroad because of and Wen Xiao?"
Listening to Jiang Cheng’s apologetic question on the phone, Ye Qiu replied with a light smile, "A little bit, but more so because I wanted to go out and see the world, to learn the highly-praised culinary skills here. So, there’s no need for you to feel burdened."
"Will you co back then?" Jiang Cheng asked cautiously.
"I suppose I will, but I’m more comfortable staying here. Even if I do return, it would just be for a short while before coming back, unless there’s so culinary skill worth spending ti to learn."
"Alright, if you ever co back, let know."
"Sure, but I think you and Han Fei should find ti to co over here. A while back, I t a Mr. Charlie who I heard is the General Manager of EA Entertainnt. He’s quite interested in your video ga company after I introduced it to him. Would you like to talk?"
"EA? Really that EA?" Jiang Cheng suddenly raised his voice in disbelief, "The General Manager of EA is indeed nad Charlie. How did you et him?"
"Fate, I guess. I opened a private restaurant here, and he just happens to be a mber."
"He’s really willing to et with us? Our little company could catch his eye?" Jiang Cheng could hardly believe this trendous surprise, which washed away the sadness of their recent disconnection.
"You should really thank for this. Mr. Charlie said he’s willing to give you a chance because of ."
At this mont, Jiang Cheng beca suspicious: "He doesn’t have any designs on you, does he?"
"What are you thinking? Mr. Charlie loves his wife; how could he have designs on ? If anything, it’s for my cooking skills. So, what do you think? Should I arrange a eting for you?"
"Yes, Han Fei and I will fly to you imdiately." After hanging up the phone, Jiang Cheng was even more excited and also very nervous. Although their video ga company had sold a few small gas in the past two years, they had always been playing it small.
He and Han Fei didn’t lack the intent to venture into major online gas, but they lacked funds and operational ans. If EA was willing to invest or co-develop, it would be fantastic.
However, to impress Mr. Charlie from EA, they needed to offer much more.
It’s all his fault for neglecting developnt recently due to the issues with Wen Xiao; the ga had just gotten started. If he had known this opportunity would co, he wouldn’t have wasted his ti.
When Han Fei received Jiang Cheng’s call, he thought Jiang Cheng was upset because Wen Xiao and Jiang Yi were together, so he rushed over with Gao Feng. As for Mo Ziang, he went to intern at his family’s company after the start of his senior year and hadn’t been causing trouble with Gao Feng.
"Are you serious? Really the Mr. Charlie from EA?" Han Fei was even more excited than Jiang Cheng and couldn’t wait to fly to Ye Qiu’s place. Only Gao Feng still looked clueless—who the heck is Mr. Charlie? What is EA?
"Absolutely true, Ye Qiu said she’s going to schedule a eting with Mr. Charlie. Once it’s set, she’ll let us know. What we need to do now is get our materials ready; we can’t waste this opportunity." Jiang Cheng had cald down and started to work thodically.
In his excitent, Han Fei also realized he couldn’t waste any more ti. If they lost this chance, who knows if there would be another. Most importantly, if he and Jiang Cheng’s video ga company took off, he wouldn’t need to be at odds with his elder brother Han Zheng anymore.
Jiang Cheng evidently shared the sa view; they all knew perfectly well what Jiang Yi painstakingly plotted for in courting Wen Xiao – to defeat Jiang Yi, the best thod was to live even better than him. As for Wen Xiao, her own choice, they could only wish her happiness!
After Wen Xiao made her relationship with Jiang Yi public, she then t both families’ parents. The Wen Family had known Wen Xiao fancied Jiang Family’s illegitimate son, Jiang Cheng. Seeing his impressive deanor and knowing their daughter liked him, they hadn’t said much, though they were critical and always felt he was not good enough for their daughter.
Now that the daughter has finally seen the light and dumped Jiang Cheng, the Wen Family breathed a sigh of relief. Only Wen Xiao’s uncle felt it a pity; he had conducted business with Jiang Cheng and thought highly of him. But as the lifeti matter of his niece was concerned, as her uncle, he could only offer advice and not make decisions, thus regarding the young couple’s breakup, he could only express regret.
Later, when Wen Xiao brought back Jiang Yi, the elder brother of her forr boyfriend, the Wen Family felt uneasy. However, seeing Jiang Yi also had distinguished appearance, being a legitimate child, and the only heir acknowledged by Jiang Hongcai, with all the family’s properties to be his in the future, the Wen Family no longer objected.
As for Jiang Hongcai’s side, it was even simpler. Although the future daughter-in-law once fancied Jiang Cheng, doesn’t she like the elder son even more now? Moreover, Wen Xiao was beautiful, ca from a good family background, and knew how to make people happy. Jiang Hongcai did not have a single complaint, wishing he could imdiately hold the wedding.
But Wen Xiao’s relationship with Luo Sitian was not good, even blatantly showing malice in front of Jiang Hongcai and Jiang Yi.
As the eldest daughter of the Wen Family and also the future lady of the Jiang Family, Wen Xiao naturally could not be compared with Luo Sitian, who would be remarrying with a child, so neither Jiang Hongcai nor Jiang Yi would stand up for her.
The only one who might protect Luo Sitian, Jiang Miaomiao, was barely a teenager now. What could she possibly do?
Luo Sitian’s days in the Jiang Family were getting tougher. She had no job, the living expenses that Jiang Hongcai provided were ager, and she had to constantly cook and clean. Years of hard work had caused her to lose her forr beauty, which was one of the reasons why Jiang Hongcai despised her.
Each ti Wen Xiao visited, she would nitpick and speak harshly to her. Luo Sitian’s life was even worse than a housemaid’s.
Luo Sitian had thought about divorce, but where could she go after the divorce? What about her daughter Miaomiao?
Thinking of getting a share of Jiang Hongcai’s wealth was a fool’s dream. She might even get calculated and be burdened with countless debts. After enduring days of humiliation, Miaomiao finally couldn’t bear it anymore and got Ye Qiu’s contact information from Jiang Cheng.
"Sister," Jiang Miaomiao dialed Ye Qiu’s number and cautiously called out.
"Hmm? What’s the matter?" Ye Qiu’s tone was very gentle; she bore no grudge against this half-sister of hers, and considering that Miaomiao, though once boastful and spoiled in her younger years, had shown her kindness in that household, Ye Qiu picked up the call.
"Can you help Mom? I know she wronged you before, but now she realizes her mistake. She’s not asking for your support, only hoping you can help her leave this family," Jiang Miaomiao hurriedly said, afraid that Ye Qiu would disagree.
"What about you? Who do you want to follow?"
Rembering her father’s fawning attitude towards the future sister-in-law and the deep malice of the future sister-in-law towards her mother, Jiang Miaomiao made her choice: "I want to follow Mom."
"Okay."
Although her sister hung up right after speaking, Jiang Miaomiao felt a wave of relief. For so reason, she just believed her sister had the ability to make it happen.
