Chapter 2192: Things Have Been Messed Up

Director Tang has conceded defeat.

He turned his wine glass upside down, which was equivalent to raising a white flag.

Thinking back to before he arrived, when he still wanted to drink the young lady under the table, Director Tang felt... he was bringing humiliation upon himself.

But why must a woman be so strong-willed?

Director Tang couldn't help but say, "For a woman, fighting alone is too tiring. Finding a man to rely on would make things much smoother."

"Can men be relied upon? If that were truly the case, why would it be as difficult as ascending to heaven just to find out a piece of information?"

Su Kexuan said, sighing with melancholy.

Director Tang knew Su Kexuan was implying something about him.

He wasn't angry, but instead laughed, "You girl, you're trying to fish for information from me again. How about this, I won't beat around the bush—if you can become the Tang family's daughter-in-law, I'll tell you!"

Director Tang was feeling exceptionally benevolent.

Like a great philanthropist.

Su Kexuan, however, pursed her lips and smiled.

Then, tilting her head, she asked, "One piece of inside information in exchange for a marriage? To me, that's a huge loss."

"How is letting you marry into the Tang family considered a loss?!"

"But with my own ability, I can live very well; why should I share my glory with someone else?"

When Su Kexuan said this, her tone was very calm.

She wasn't boasting or being arrogant; she was simply stating a fact:

She, Su Kexuan, is not a dodder vine that clings to men.

She is resilient, upright, and is herself a straight pine tree!

Looking at Su Kexuan like this, Director Tang's gaze flickered.

Certain convictions of his also showed signs of loosening.

Seeing that the timing was right, Su Kexuan voiced her own thoughts: "Actually, there are many ways to cooperate; a marital relationship is, in fact, the least stable."

"Then in your opinion, what kind of relationship is stable?"

"Having common interests and goals—cooperation, a win-win!"

Su Kexuan was right.

But thinking of the Li Family, Director Tang was reluctant to let go.

He even looked at the drunken Young Master Tang...

That brat, getting so drunk at a critical moment that he can't even say half a useful word!

Director Tang couldn't help but feel resentment toward Young Master Tang.

Seeing that Director Tang still couldn't give up, Su Kexuan told him the truth: "Mrs. Li is good to me and was only playing matchmaker behind the scenes out of concern for my personal life, but Young Master Tang is not the only option."

This truth made Director Tang's fingers twitch.

In his heart, there was also a bit more deliberation.

Su Kexuan continued: "A person like me values interests; even if I were married, I wouldn't be one to serve my husband and raise children. My partner would probably have to worry about me plotting against him, and also..."

Crack—

Su Kexuan was seen crushing the dice cup on the table!

With her slender fingers, she tossed the broken dice cup onto the table casually.

Su Kexuan looked at the dumbfounded Director Tang and smiled as she continued: "Domestic violence against him!"

Director Tang swallowed hard.

His body couldn't help but shiver.

This woman is truly terrifying!

Director Tang had still wanted to force the two of them into a marriage.

As it turned out...

She could directly smash his family's pot!!

Director Tang was filled with lingering fear.

His whole person also completely sobered up.

He no longer held onto illusions, but instead patted Su Kexuan's shoulder and said, "My family's brat is no match for you. In the future, in the business world, I hope you can look after him a little."

"Then the Xin Qu..."

Before Su Kexuan could finish her sentence, she heard the sound of the door opening.

The private room wasn't noisy.

But as soon as the door opened, the loud music flooded in.

Su Kexuan couldn't help but frown.

She looked with some displeasure at the person who interrupted her.

But Su Kexuan only saw a figure.

The person rushed to her side very quickly and roared, "Take your dirty hands off!"

Jiang Mobai had traveled at lightning speed to reach the bar.

Yet, just as he opened the door, he saw a sleazy middle-aged man with his hand resting on Su Kexuan's shoulder!

Jiang Mobai was furious.

He shoved Director Tang away with force!

Director Tang was already top-heavy from drinking.

How could he withstand such a shove?

The body fell directly off the sofa, and the head even knocked against the round table.

Su Kexuan was startled and hurriedly leaned down to ask, "Are you alright?"

Director Tang could not speak.

He clutched the back of his head, his expression pained.

And beneath his fingers, a large bump had appeared!

"Don't lie there playing dead! If you have the guts to force drinks on a woman, why don't you have the guts to fight me!"

A ball of rage ignited in Jiang Mobai's chest.

But Su Kexuan's rage was even greater than his!

Seeing Su Kexuan glaring angrily at Jiang Mobai, she questioned, "What kind of madness are you spouting!"

"I'm not spouting madness, I'm teaching a bad person a lesson for you! Don't worry, with me here, I won't let others take advantage of you!"

"What taking advantage, we were just discussing a collaboration normally!"

"Stop pretending to be strong; would a normal collaboration involve forcing drinks on you and putting an arm around your shoulder!? If you carry everything on your own, you'll be the one to suffer!"

Jiang Mobai's words had a certain logic to them.

Director Tang had indeed forced drinks on Su Kexuan.

He also had sordid intentions, wanting to take advantage of Su Kexuan being drunk to set her up with his cousin.

But didn't that fail?

Why is this brat shouting so loudly!

He really has the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard...

Huh?

Director Tang had been thrown into such a daze that only now could he see everything in front of him clearly.

Then he saw Jiang Mobai's face full of anger...

In an instant, Director Tang had no temper left at all.

He even politely negotiated with Su Kexuan: "Little Su, please get Mr. Jiang to calm down, and also, our meeting cannot let others know."

Su Kexuan understood what Director Tang meant.

Director Tang's position was somewhat sensitive.

But his words, falling into Jiang Mobai's ears, took on a different meaning.

He sneered and asked: "What, is your identity so shameful that it can't see the light of day!"

"Jiang Mobai, that's enough!"

Su Kexuan shouted at Jiang Mobai, telling him to stop while he was ahead.

Afterwards, she said to Director Tang: "I'll see you both out."

"No need, you had better go soothe Mr. Jiang."

Director Tang could not afford to provoke this second-generation rich kid.

He stood up while enduring the pain, then had a waiter help lift Young Master Tang up.

Jiang Mobai hadn't even noticed Young Master Tang was there just now.

Seeing him now, his eyes narrowed instantly, and he clenched his fists, preparing to approach.

"You stand right there!"

Su Kexuan roared.

Director Tang immediately froze in place.

Su Kexuan closed her eyes for a moment, then politely said to Director Tang: "I wasn't talking to you, please go ahead."

"Oh, alright, alright."

Only then did Director Tang realize he had misunderstood.

But he did not relax because of this.

On the contrary, he quickened his pace and stumbled as he left this place.

Jiang Mobai did not understand at all: "Why be so polite to him? Ah, are you afraid this person will come looking for trouble with you later? Don't be afraid, with me here, I will never let this person be arrogant again!"

Jiang Mobai gave his promise.

He wanted to protect Su Kexuan.

But Su Kexuan did not need it at all!

She also did not speak, just quietly looking at Jiang Mobai.

In her eyes, there was an expression Jiang Mobai could not clearly see.

It was obvious that today's matter had been botched.

Yet, she had been just a little bit away from getting the information she wanted!

That sense of emptiness, having victory in sight yet gaining nothing, made Su Kexuan press her lips together tightly.

Jiang Baobao looked at the man in front of her, her heart feeling as if it had been pricked by a needle.
