NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1312
1312 Never Helped Me Except With Money
This jewel...
Jiang Chengxi wondered what secrets there were.
He once wanted to send the gem to the Identification Institute to study its internal structure, to see why it presented such a prismatic reflective surface through the colored liquid.
But when he thought about it, he felt that it would not be safe for this thing to leave him.
This was the last souvenir Su Yanyun had left him. He didn’t even want anyone to know about its existence.
It had been so long ago, but he still remembered that he had used this thing to plot against Su Yanyun...
However, although she valued this thing, she did not persist in the end.
Moreover, the reason she had taken a fancy to it was only because her “father” had repeatedly instructed her to keep it safe before he passed away.
Since that was the case, it should be... a family heirloom of the Su family.
There was nothing strange about the Su family’s things. After Su Yanyun fell out with the Su family, they should be worthless.
Therefore, he selfishly kept it and had no intention of returning it to Su Yanyun.
He squeezed the stone in his palm. Cold stone.
It was like Su Yanyun’s response to him from beginning to end.
But even in this cold place, he wanted to stay...
Jiang Chengxi put down his wine glass and knocked his forehead with the hand that was holding the gem tightly.
Forget it, even if Rong Liangliang looked like Su Yanyun when she was young, she was no longer his little Zhengzheng...
Liangliang was a lively and cute child. She was so cute that people could not help but have such a daughter.
But his little Zhengzheng was a cold little girl.
No smile, no tears, no words. When she stared at you coldly, her eyes seemed to fill with ice.
This was also why Jiang Chengxi didn’t recognize the grown-up Su Yanyun at first glance.
Su Yanyun was too cute and naive...
She did not look like Zhengzheng when she was young. At least, her temperament and expression were different.
Jiang Chengxi had to admit that he had never been able to let go of Su Yanyun because she always treated him coldly. The colder she was to him, the more he couldn’t bear to part with her.
Is he a masochist?
Basically, this was the type of woman he liked. A woman who wouldn’t give him a good look.
There were a lot of women outside who treated him nicely. He just wasn’t interested.
Jiang Chengxi sighed and was about to put the gem in the secret compartment.
His phone suddenly rang.
At this time, the only person who dared to disturb him was his fearless demon assistant.
“What?” Jiang Chengxi picked up the phone, his eyes filled with impatience.
Du Mengmeng lowered her voice to a whisper.
After what seemed like an eternity, she sighed. “Boss, I probably, probably, am sure... I failed.”
When Jiang Chengxi heard this, his heart skipped a beat. Then, he said disdainfully, “You’re so useless. I already guessed it.”
On the other end of the line, Du Mengmeng... went silent.
At least ten minutes later, Jiang Chengxi had already fallen asleep on his phone. Then, he suddenly woke up.
When he opened his eyes, the call hadn’t ended.
“Hey, you still there?” he asked.
“Yes.” Du Mengmeng sounded as numb as ever.
Jiang Chengxi sighed. “Du Mengmeng, you’ve already done your best. We... the Jiang family has also tried our best to help you.”
“You didn’t,” Du Mengmeng said coldly. “Boss, even if you hate me for always blackmailing you, you can’t just leave me in the lurch. I’m fighting alone. Other than money, you’ve never helped me.”
