Chapter 522: Broken Defense Again

Jiang Pengfei finally was about to become Wang Yan's father. Although Jiang Nansun was ignorant, he could only stop thinking about those bad things and drink happily with Wang Yan. Jiang Pengfei, who didn't have a very good tolerance for alcohol, got dead drunk once again as expected. Dai Qian was happy for her daughter; Wang Yan was the right person, so she was also dizzy from drinking. The remaining old lady, because it was too late and her energy was failing, had long lost her spirit.

Jiang Nansun only drank some red wine, and she was the one driving, so she sent Jiang Pengfei and the others home first.

Carrying Jiang Pengfei into the house and settling him down, Wang Yan greeted them and, under Dai Qian's hesitant gaze, left with Jiang Nansun.

As a mother, Dai Qian's hesitation wasn't hard to guess; it was nothing more than whether they had slept together or not. It was just that thinking Jiang Nansun wasn't young anymore and had her own ideas, she didn't care. And she wasn't blind; seeing the very natural and habitual intimacy between Jiang Nansun and Wang Yan, they were also frank with each other. Because through clothes, looking good was okay, but actually, there was still some barrier.

Downstairs, starting the car, Jiang Nansun asked, "Where are we going, Brother Yan?"

"Tomson Riviera."

"I thought you were going to Suosuo's place..."

Wang Yan leaned against the car window and tilted his head to look at her. "Do you think I'm just an animal that thinks with its lower body?"

"Isn't it?" Jiang Nansun rolled her eyes and steered the car onto the road.

Actually, there was nothing that couldn't be accepted; people's bottom line was always being lowered step by step. A few days ago, Jiang Nansun wasn't very used to it, but now she had already adapted to being with her good sister. Similarly, her previous pain, bitterness, and grievances had now faded a lot.

Of course, she thought Wang Yan thought with his lower body, and that was indeed helpless; after all, the absurd things were created by him. Since it was done, where would she still care about what Jiang Nansun said.

So Wang Yan just smiled and didn't dwell on such trivial matters; if she said so, then so be it, it didn't matter.

The car moved slowly on the road, and Jiang Nansun, listening to music, drove very steadily; if the speed limit was sixty, it was sixty, and as long as the speed of the car in front was acceptable, she wouldn't change lanes to overtake back and forth; her mentality was quite good, and even if someone honked, she just drove like that and wouldn't curse. She was a bitchy tea, but her quality was indeed sufficient.

In fact, encountering congestion, changing lanes back and forth to overtake wouldn't play much of a role. Most of the time, one lane was slow, and the other was relatively faster. But after changing over, it was highly likely that one would find that the faster one was the original lane. Then change again, then change again. Many people's lives were like this; on this road, going to another road, but in reality, the slow one was always the unsatisfied self, and it couldn't truly be like driving on the road, where one could jump back and forth left and right.

After driving for a while, Jiang Nansun asked, "Was what you said when we were eating just now true?"

"What?"

"Marriage! You weren't just saying it casually to lie to my parents and the others, were you?"

Wang Yan shook his head and smiled. "Of course not, what's there to lie about? I mean what I say; if you say okay, we'll go get the certificate tomorrow, I have no problem."

"Consider you have a conscience." Jiang Nansun was happy; although Wang Yan was a bastard, he dared to admit it. And there was a good sister there to compare with, so she was quite satisfied. "But what I said was also true; I don't want to get married and have children so early and be a yellow-faced woman crying at home; you won't blame me, will you?"

"What's there to blame you for? You have your own pursuits and want to do your own things; this is a good thing. Although I don't have any opinion if you really become a housewife at home, it's still better for people to have pursuits and things to do. And on the other hand, even if the relationship is good, being together and sticky all day, it's annoying after a long time. Do what you want to do, I support you."

Jiang Nansun nodded and smiled foolishly. "If Suosuo knew what you said, she would be sad again. You know, her biggest ideal is to be a rich wife at home, and all she needs to do all day is buy, buy, buy."

"Let her know I said I want to marry you, but you pushed the time back for a long time, and she will be sad. Because you can get what she dreams of, but you aren't active, which will make her very unbalanced."

"Why are you like that to Suosuo?"

"You two are good sisters, and we are together shamelessly, so it can be counted as truly intimate. She should have told you, right?"

"She did tell me; she said it was a transaction between you, and she had many boyfriends before..." Jiang Nansun nodded and repeated the words Zhu Suosuo told her, and she continued, "But that's all what she thought; I want to hear you say it."

"Actually, it's nothing; she's right, it's just a transaction." Although it was somewhat shameless to talk about that woman with this woman, and they had all slept together, Wang Yan had no face left anyway; if Zhu Suosuo asked to his face, he would tell the truth. "Ever since you introduced her to me, she was clearly aiming for money; she was deliberately flirting with me, treating me as a sucker, and making me a spare tire. Since she wants money and I'm lustful, then it's a fair transaction; I don't think there's anything wrong with it.

As for what she said, because she had many boyfriends in the past, saying something about not being clean. Actually, when we first met for dinner, I saw it; although I didn't investigate, I could think there should be quite a few.

This is naturally a consideration, but you should also know that even if I didn't have a girlfriend before, I have had quite a few women I've experienced; compared to Zhu Suosuo's boyfriends, it's not certain who has more. It's just that in the traditional sense, the definition of clean or not has always been from the man's perspective and falling on the woman; in fact, I can't be counted as very clean either. I have always respected others very much, especially women.

It's just that our relationship is that I pay money, and she wants to get money from me; although it's not accurate, it is indeed a buyer-seller relationship to a certain extent. Her past makes her value in my place greatly discounted. Actually, you know, the money I give her is really not little; it's just that she isn't satisfied."

... Jiang Nansun still couldn't accept Wang Yan being so unmasked. She let out a long breath. "You are truly honest."

"I have always been like this; if you ask me, I will say it. If Zhu Suosuo asks me, I will also tell her."

After a moment of silence, Jiang Nansun said, "Actually, I think Suosuo likes you quite a bit now."

"Shouldn't you hope she gets lost as soon as possible?"

"Isn't it all because of you? I never thought it would be like this before. But things have already happened; although you make people hate you, you also make people love you, what else can I do? You did it on purpose..." Jiang Nansun was perhaps angry, pulled her hand, and gave Wang Yan a pink fist.

Wang Yan accepted it with a smile, and just like that, talking and laughing, they returned to Tomson Riviera all the way, enjoying the world of two. Because she heard a promise from Wang Yan's mouth, Jiang Nansun was very happy, and her performance was a bit wilder...

Jiang Nansun finally received a notice from Professor Dong three days later, and the work content was as expected, which was what was said when eating with Dai Qian, Ye Jingyan, and others, cooperating with people from the Jingyan Group Research Institute to open a new topic, with Jiang Nansun responsible for docking and participating in the project at the same time.

The person leading the project was Dai Qian, this old friend of Ye Jingyan and an old employee of the Jingyan Group. Wang Yongzheng was naturally also in the project team, and it was natural that he had more contact with Jiang Nansun. But this time, he didn't flirt whenever he had the chance like when Jiang Nansun was with Zhang Anren before; it was just normal work exchanges. He was indeed scared; he didn't dare to challenge Wang Yan. He was inferior in financial resources, inferior in ability, and even more inferior in personal charm; he made a wise choice.

Otherwise, no matter how good Wang Yan's temper was, this kind of behavior of harassing his woman was also looking for death. Wang Yan wasn't just talking, and even less just scaring. It might take a long time to make Wang Yongzheng poor, but there were really quite a few men who had terminal illnesses, had little time left, and needed money to leave the last wealth for their families. Even if it might not be kept secret, if he was really annoyed, it wouldn't be a problem for Wang Yan to take action himself.

Jiang Nansun was studying for her doctorate at school, and Zhang Anren was teaching at school; both were from the Academy of Fine Arts, so it was inevitable that they would meet. When the two met occasionally, they just nodded and greeted each other; basically, there wasn't much communication. The common past had already passed, and in the future without each other, both were fine.

During daily pillow talk, Wang Yan did hear Jiang Nansun mutter once that Zhang Anren was still quite average. Teachers kept him at a distance, and students didn't have a very good impression of him either. Gossip was flying all over the school, and what Zhang Anren did was naturally widely spread. Even new students, after asking around, could know what Zhang Anren had done. Students were idealistic, and rules were popular. Some understood, some opposed, and Zhang Anren was controversial. Of course, on the surface, there was still no problem.

But as the saying goes, one knows the cold and heat when drinking water; Zhang Anren still had feelings, and it wasn't very comfortable either. The development of things wasn't as easy as he had thought before.

Wang Yan didn't feel much, and Jiang Nansun just felt a bit sighing; what she sighed about was just Zhang Anren's constant talk of working hard before, and his current situation.

The choice was made by himself, and naturally, he had to suffer the bitter fruit himself. And this had only been a few months; as for the future, who knew...

Zhu Suosuo was still sitting there as an assistant, and her daily work could be considered conscientious; she did quite well, and she had made some progress. But her thoughts hadn't stopped; the purpose of her work wasn't pure, and it was still to perform in front of Ye Jingyan. Of course, perhaps her work was pure, and she had changed her mind and wanted to be a career woman, but her criminal record was there, so pure or not, that was something that couldn't be helped.

But in fact, Ye Jingyan didn't have much time to talk nonsense with Zhu Suosuo, because now it wasn't the time in the original drama; because of Wang Yan's casual reminder leading to Yang Ke's departure, the Jingyan Group was very weak now. A Jingyan with a market value of over 70 billion and a Jingyan with a market value of over 40 billion were obviously two Jingyans. Then Ye Jingyan's status was naturally a world of difference. So Ye Jingyan was no longer as leisurely as before, but had to run around all day to build relationships and pull business.

Of course, Zhu Suosuo wasn't busy in vain; after all, many of the company's daily affairs were decided by Fan Jingang. Her ability had indeed improved by Fan Jingang's side; in addition, she worked hard, and Ye Jingyan occasionally asked questions, and Fan Jingang would also praise her a few times, which was not bad.

As for Xie Hongzu, except for not moving in and pestering to live there, and being a filial son to Jiang's old lady, there wasn't much difference from the original drama. It wasn't that he didn't want to live there, but it was impossible at all. Although Wang Yan didn't sleep with the two women every day, he always had to communicate every few days; otherwise, he would toss and turn, get complaints and scoldings, what was he aiming for? The place wasn't fixed; sometimes it was at Tomson Riviera, sometimes it was at that rented house, and Wang Yan even specially changed to a bigger bed...

Even if Wang Yan didn't go, with those two alone, Zhu Suosuo wouldn't agree. Even if she had the heart, she wouldn't let Xie Hongzu succeed easily, not to mention that there was still Ye Jingyan supporting her. Xie Hongzu wasn't like Wang Yan, who had an accurate grasp of Zhu Suosuo; he was still "pursuing," and in the relationship between the two, Xie Hongzu was the subordinate.

It was still the same; Xie Hongzu wanted to cancel his engagement with that Zhao Malin and turn to be with Zhu Suosuo. Zhao Malin was also making a scene, and because Xie Jiayin needed the Zhao family's capital support, it was still the same as the original, finding Ye Jingyan and requesting to transfer Zhu Suosuo away and not to seduce Xie Hongzu again.

Ye Jingyan naturally still didn't agree; this had nothing to do with whether it was Zhu Suosuo or not. He was Party A, and it wasn't just the Xie family's air conditioning procurement; for those few million, letting him transfer people away, this kind of behavior was an insult to Ye Jingyan. Especially now that the Jingyan Group's situation wasn't good, it would make Ye Jingyan think that Xie Jiayin didn't respect him, and seeing him down, she also came to step on him a few times.

It was natural that the scene wasn't very pleasant, which moved Zhu Suosuo quite a bit...

Yang Ke's side had also started projects; his main business was actually marketing. From the initial planning to the final sales to customers, he contracted the sales business of real estate projects in one stop. Including but not limited to real estate, office buildings, etc., this was Yang Ke's specialty.

Of course, he also had ideas; it was impossible to just do marketing; there were also some old city renovation projects, not limited to Shanghai, and work in other provinces was also being bid on and contacted everywhere.

This was actually also mainstream business; there were already enough houses now, and it was the era of stock housing. The government had sold almost all the land that should be sold, and real estate developers had built almost all the houses that should be built. The houses built in the early years had become old, broken, and small, and the original old, broken, and small houses were even more broken and small. And this kind of house was basically located in the urban areas of various places, and it couldn't be demolished at all, so it was renovation and maintenance, which still had quite a bit of prospect.

The community library that the drama revolved around was this kind of old city renovation project. Now it was basically the same; Yang Ke held a grudge and went against the Jingyan Group, and both sides had wins and losses, which indeed brought a lot of trouble to the Jingyan Group.

The big wave was the most carefree; her professional ability was no problem, and she did her work with ease. When Wang Yan came, she entertained him with all her heart; when he didn't come, she ate and drank by herself, enjoying the loneliness in the house, very satisfied.

Jiang Nansun also knew about the big wave; after all, Jiang Nansun had basically moved into Tomson Riviera now. When Wang Yan didn't return home at night, the first thing she did was call Zhu Suosuo to see if the two were practicing alone. Zhu Suosuo naturally told her, but didn't say the big wave's treatment; she was afraid of stimulating Jiang Nansun, thereby quarreling with Wang Yan, which would then affect her, which would be too bad.

Wang Yan naturally didn't mean to hide it, and it passed after a few days of fuss. It was hard to accept a Zhu Suosuo, but it was much easier to accept a big wave; the problem wasn't big.

His days were very leisurely; except for sleeping, there was basically nothing serious. It was just that he was getting closer to Jiang Pengfei, and he would call him home to drink whenever he had nothing to do. Jiang Pengfei was now a proper homebody; after a few months, his cooking level wasn't said to be very high, but at least he could make it cooked, and all the seasonings that should be added were added, which could be considered to have figured out some taste. Occasionally, the two would go fishing, very leisurely.

Of course, there was still no lack of urging marriage, wanting to quickly tie up this golden son-in-law, Wang Yan. Nagging Jiang Nansun, nagging Wang Yan, just wanting a stable relationship guarantee.

Wang Yan understood and also had a solution, so after leaving it for a few months, when it reached October, Wang Yan made a phone call...

The Jingyan Group's foundation was very thick; although it was hit and had to sell many projects, with Ye Jingyan's efforts, adjusting the company, and opening up business, the situation greatly improved, and the stock price also began to rebound. Ye Jingyan's prestige was even higher than before. After all, everyone knew about Yang Ke's matter; it wasn't a crime of war. Under the beautiful expectation of returning to the peak and creating new highs, the previous things could also be forgiven.

Although busy, the visible growth in data was still an exciting catalyst. Fan Jingang undertook most of the company's operations, but he still looked so energetic and full of drive. It was another struggle that ignited his fighting spirit, not the comfortable death of the past.

When a company reached a certain size, it wouldn't collapse just because it wanted to. When capital accumulated to a certain extent, it wouldn't stop just because it wanted to. The previous Jingyan was large enough; even if the senior management didn't intervene much, just ensuring financial health and developing naturally, it would continue to grow, and slackness was certain.

Now that there was a goal, people naturally became spirited.

He was looking at the emails sent to him by the people below; these were all sent to him and copied to Ye Jingyan. He would reply to those he could decide, and for those he couldn't, he would make a decision and discuss it with Ye Jingyan before handling it, properly receiving Ye Jingyan's trust.

Just then, his phone rang. He picked it up and looked, frowned, and then smiled and put it to his ear to answer the phone. "Hello? Mr. Wang?"

"Ah? Want to buy it back? Okay, I know. Ye Zong is just in the company, please wait for me to report to Ye Zong before replying to you. Okay, I'll call you later."

Fan Jingang hung up the phone, stood up and stretched, and then walked toward the office with the door wide open.

Zhu Suosuo was sitting at the entrance of the office; she had already upgraded to Ye Jingyan's assistant as in the original drama. To avoid gossip about an assistant with nothing to do, and to avoid ruining Zhu Suosuo's reputation, Ye Jingyan kept the office door wide open.

This naturally didn't work, because there were always sayings; if it wasn't done in the company, it wasn't certain after work. If one wanted to gossip, there was always an angle to gossip. However, Ye Jingyan and Zhu Suosuo didn't care about it.

During this time, Zhu Suosuo occasionally followed Ye Jingyan to run around, entering and exiting various high-end places, which could be considered as gaining knowledge and opening her eyes; she had some progress, and the whole person had an extra layer of capable temperament.

Smiling at Zhu Suosuo, Fan Jingang walked in to Ye Jingyan, who was rubbing his neck and also looking at emails. "Ye Zong, Wang Yan just called me and said he wanted to buy back the house that originally belonged to the Jiang family. You remember Wang Yan, right?"

Ye Jingyan smiled and nodded. "Jiang Nansun's boyfriend, how could I forget. Our company's development now also absorbed some of what he said at the dinner table before; he's a capable person. Buying the house back is probably for the Jiang family. Although he made 200 million from us before, he also helped me later. Like this, let's round it up; 60 million, he has to bear the taxes and fees. Doing a favor is also accumulating virtue and doing good deeds, doing a favor."

"Ye Zong is generous; if it were me, I would have to scrape Wang Yan for a hand no matter what. Let him have a bad mouth, let him pick up a bargain."

"That's about enough; in business, we talk business, don't always hold on to it." Ye Jingyan shook his head. "For this matter, just you... let Zhu Suosuo handle it; they are all friends, and work is so busy, so consider it relaxation. You greet the leaders at the trading center, handle it quickly. Good intentions, it's meaningless if it drags on."

"Ye Zong is thoughtful, then I'll call Wang Yan back." As he spoke, Fan Jingang turned and walked out. Passing by the stunned Zhu Suosuo, he said, "What are you dazing for? Work seriously. You heard what I said to Ye Zong just now, right? Go, find the legal department to issue a real estate transaction contract; the property deed is right here, and you go over to handle the procedures."

"Ah?" Zhu Suosuo suddenly came back to her senses and hurriedly stood up. "I'll go right now."

"What are you thinking? Were you stunned by Wang Yan's big move? Are you envious of your good sister Jiang Nansun?" Fan Jingang habitually poured chicken soup. "Follow Ye Zong and work hard; one day, you will be able to afford it with your own ability. Don't daze, go quickly."

Watching Zhu Suosuo leave at a trot, Fan Jingang shook his head, returned to his seat, called Wang Yan back, reported a price, got a straightforward answer, and after agreeing to handle the procedures in the afternoon, hung up the phone and began to prepare the necessary materials.

60 million, including deed tax, individual income tax, value-added tax, etc., it was about 5 million more; this price was really not high. Especially since Ye Jingyan wasn't the one selling, but Wang Yan was the one buying; this house, in addition to its own scarcity, also had the uniqueness of the Jiang family's old house; even if it were 10 million more, Wang Yan would still buy it.

Wang Yan naturally didn't feel heartache for spending money, not to mention that the money spent now was all picked up from the Jingyan Group. So if it were 100 million... then Wang Yan should study Ye Jingyan; the old kid didn't know what was good for him and was looking for death...

Jiang Nansun happily got into the black sedan parked in front of the office building, and without saying a word, she kissed him first to greet him. "Brother Yan, why did you come to school to find me?"

"Missed you, and the weather is good today, so I came to find you to go for a ride." Wang Yan knew he was going to handle the procedures with Zhu Suosuo later, and now seeing Jiang Nansun's unexpected appearance not looking fake, Zhu Suosuo hadn't revealed it yet; she was quite understanding...

"Then why did you ask me if I brought my ID card?"

Wang Yan smiled and raised his eyebrows. "It's always boring at home, change the environment occasionally."

"Hateful, always thinking about that little thing all day." Jiang Nansun rolled her eyes and greeted Wang Yan with small fists.

"Alright, fasten your seatbelt, let's go." While speaking, Wang Yan started the car and left.

In the office building behind, Zhang Anren walked out silently and sighed softly. What he saw was that Wang Yan had come more than once, and Jiang Nansun's excitement running to the car, he also saw clearly.

He knew that there was no possibility for him and Jiang Nansun anymore. But seeing Jiang Nansun's appearance, he couldn't be happy no matter what. He used to serve her like an ancestor, but now looking at that little sparrow's appearance, it made him know that Jiang Nansun didn't only have that spoiled side; it was just that he couldn't see that side.

He sighed again and left on the tree-lined path where autumn leaves were falling. Falling with the autumn leaves were his countless worries...

Also worried was Zhu Suosuo, who was on the steps at the entrance of the real estate trading center, holding her bag in front of her with both hands, looking left and right. She knew Wang Yan was generous, just not generous to her; of course, she also knew Wang Yan was quite generous to her, but she didn't think it was called generous compared to 30 million, although she had already been tortured by Wang Yan to accept it...

But when she heard from Fan Jingang in the office that Wang Yan was going to spend 60 million to buy back the Jiang family's old house from Ye Jingyan and give it to the Jiang family, she felt that this world was so unfair, especially so cruel to her.

The big wave's 30 million, she endured, and after opening her heart, it passed. But now, another 60 million was made, and her defense, which had already been broken once, was broken again...

When she saw Jiang Nansun linking arms with Wang Yan, appearing in her field of vision with a confused face, she tried her best to collect her mood and walked down the steps to meet them for a few steps.

"Suosuo, why are you here too? Brother Yan? What's going on? What are we doing here? Didn't you say we were going for a ride?"

Looking at Jiang Nansun, who was asking questions one after another, and looking at Wang Yan, who was always smiling, Zhu Suosuo's forced smile was very ugly. "Let's go, let's go in, and you'll know when the time comes."

"What? We're already at the door, and you're still being mysterious. Brother Yan, did you buy another house? I remember you said before that you wouldn't buy a house, as that would delay you from making a lot of money."

Jiang Nansun's imagination was still somewhat limited, and she lacked understanding of Wang Yan's degree of generosity. Although she had bought quite a few luxury goods since they slept together, they were only in the hundreds of thousands, and hadn't broken through her imagination. She couldn't imagine no matter what that this man, who had made her suffer so many grievances and swallow so much bitterness, was going to buy a house for her.

Even if it were a random house, it would cost eight or ten million; she couldn't imagine that when the two were only boyfriend and girlfriend, he would spend so much money on her...

Wang Yan smiled and patted her back. "Suosuo is right, you'll know when you go in..." ===== CHAPTER 523 =====
