Dreaming of Divorcing Her (GL) - Chapter 23.2
The time spent alone with Jiang Yunjuan was always so awkward, it seemed even the air in the room became extremely oppressive.
Jiang Yunjuan sat on the sofa, casually flipping through the magazines on the bookshelf, while Wen Qing was bored on the side, closing her eyes and counting non-existent stars in front of her.
Jiang Yunjuan was always like this, usually so cold and aloof that she barely spoke to her. Even when they did meet, she always had a cold face, making Wen Qing feel compelled to keep her distance.
After all, facing such a cold CEO, even if she wanted to chat a bit, the CEO would definitely not respond.
This was probably because in the heart of the domineering CEO in the novel world, everyone except herself was an idiot.
She finally got tired of counting stars and took the initiative to ask Jiang Yunjuan, “Jiang Yunjuan, I actually don’t quite understand, why did you bring up divorce with me?”
Unsurprisingly, Jiang Yunjuan completely ignored her.
She mustered her courage and asked, “Jiang Yunjuan, where did I make you dissatisfied? Or to put it another way, what kind of person do you actually like?”
Actually, Wen Qing knew very well what kind of person Jiang Yunjuan liked.
Someone like the white lotus, right?
According to the plot of the original text, Jiang Yunjuan liked the lively and cheerful type like the white lotus, someone who looked pure and harmless like a white lotus flower, but had a whole set of tricks, acting coquettishly and throwing small tantrums, firmly grasping the domineered CEO’s long-frozen heart.
She was just really unable to bear the oppressive atmosphere; it was too boring, so she had no choice but to talk to Jiang Yunjuan for the sake of talking.
She didn’t even expect Jiang Yunjuan to answer her seriously.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yunjuan actually put down the magazine, looked up at her, and said, “Anyone except someone who is two-faced, probably.”
Wen Qing: “…”
An awkward atmosphere began to spread again.
Wen Qing directly chose to shut up.
Jiang Yunjuan, on the other hand, picked up the magazine again, flipping through the pages one by one, seemingly completely unconcerned that Wen Qing was entertaining herself by tapping those ceramic vases on the side.
After a while, Wen Qing got tired of tapping the vases and asked her again, “Is there really a lottery tonight?”
Jiang Yunjuan’s gaze was still fixed on the magazine, and she said softly, “Mmm.”
“Then… will I win?” Wen Qing asked expectantly.
Jiang Yunjuan looked up at her and couldn’t help but ask, “Are you very short of money?”
Wen Qing nodded honestly, “Yes.”
Jiang Yunjuan was a little curious, “What do you need so much money for?”
Wen Qing thought for a moment and replied, “For a good retirement in the future.”
Jiang Yunjuan raised an eyebrow, “Retirement?”
“Mmm… after all, you’re going to divorce me. I’ll be all alone in this world, lonely and with nowhere to go. I’ll need a sum of money to rely on.”
Jiang Yunjuan asked her, “Do you like money very much?”
Wen Qing thought for a moment and said, “Not particularly… anyway, money is important.”
After a while, Jiang Yunjuan nodded and said softly, “I see.”
Actually, when Wen Qing said that money was important, she was incredibly sincere. Anyway, Jiang Yunjuan was about to lose her memory, so it didn’t matter if she told her a few truths.
Counting the days, she and Jiang Yunjuan had been married for three years. During this time, she had always avoided Jiang Yunjuan. Not to mention sitting down and having a heart-to-heart talk, they hadn’t even eaten together a few times a year.
Jiang Yunjuan didn’t understand her.
Similarly, she didn’t understand Jiang Yunjuan either.
Actually, apart from the plots explained in the book, she really wasn’t particularly clear about what kind of person Jiang Yunjuan was in reality.
However, everything in this world should follow the original world, right?
Then Jiang Yunjuan’s personality and what she would do in the future were all predetermined by the author.
She had actually considered, perhaps if she tried harder and properly attempted to live with Jiang Yunjuan, what the consequences would be.
But that fleeting thought was ultimately unrealistic.
She couldn’t like Jiang Yunjuan.
Definitely couldn’t.
Following the original owner’s old path would lead to a death without a complete corpse.
As an outsider who had transmigrated into the book, all she could do was protect her own life and then quickly take the money and leave.
Looking at everything in terms of money was the wisest choice.
Wen Qing clasped her hands together and silently muttered, “God, please bless me to win the first prize. My biggest dream is to win the first prize, just once! Just once is enough!”
Jiang Yunjuan frowned and called her, “Wen Qing.”
“Ah?”
“Next time you talk to yourself, keep your voice down.”
“…Oh.”
Two hours later, Wen Qing finally arrived at the banquet hall.
She hooked her arm around Jiang Yunjuan’s and slowly walked into the venue under the magnificent lights.
At this time, many people had already gathered in the banquet hall, men and women alike. They were gathered in twos and threes, holding champagne glasses in their hands. Seeing Jiang Yunjuan arrive, they took the initiative to make way for them while smiling and nodding.
Wen Qing’s gaze gradually began to drift. Such a high-end cocktail party naturally wouldn’t lack beautifully dressed women.
She usually lived nocturnally, hanging out with Yu Xinlan in bars and indulging in a life of pleasure, seeing only unrestrained and wild beauties.
But attending this kind of high-end cocktail party, what she saw was completely different. They were all gorgeously dressed, and their decorations were also valuable. Combined with proper skincare and maintenance, they were in no way inferior to celebrities, and they were very pleasing to the eye.
“Good evening, President Jiang.”
“President Jiang, where have you been all afternoon?”
“President Jiang, how have you been considering that last project?”
Three business tycoons who frequently appeared in financial magazines all held wine glasses and occasionally greeted Jiang Yunjuan.
Jiang Yunjuan nodded, stopped, and politely exchanged a few pleasantries.
Their gazes then fell on Wen Qing beside Jiang Yunjuan. While surprised, they exchanged glances, weren’t these two rumored to be getting a divorce?
Why were they appearing together again?
Curiosity was curiosity, but they didn’t dare ask directly.
“President Jiang, I heard you’re also interested in the Yushan development project?” A pot-bellied middle-aged man walked over, smiling like an old fox.
Jiang Yunjuan said softly, “Mmm.”
“Then President Jiang must be careful. I heard it’s been raining a lot in Yushan recently. The villagers say it’s always haunted, it’s even on the news. I wonder if President Jiang has seen it?” The man looked at Jiang Yunjuan with a smile and asked, “But looking at President Jiang’s upright demeanor, you shouldn’t be afraid of ghosts, right?”
Jiang Yunjuan frowned at him, “No need for President Song to worry.”
Wen Qing was stunned.
President Song?
Song Jingtian?
The future godfather of the white lotus Su Liyang?
If the man in front of her was really Song Jingtian, then Wen Qing had a very strong impression of him.
The original text explained that Song Jingtian was a real estate upstart who had started from scratch in recent years. He originally ran a rubber factory and later made his fortune in real estate. Relying on underhanded methods, he grew bigger and bigger and even snatched a few deals from the Jiang Corporation. For a time, he also had some fame in the real estate industry, almost acting as if he didn’t even put the Jiang Corporation in his eyes.
In the end, he was just an ordinary supporting character, but he had a unique vision and took in the white lotus Su Liyang as his goddaughter. Su Liyang was someone Jiang Yunjuan had taken a liking to, so he naturally became Jiang Yunjuan’s future father-in-law through Su Liyang’s connections.
But the poison of the plot was precisely here. Song Jingtian was ambitious, greedy for money and lustful. He had always wanted to annex the Jiang Corporation. Later, he had the white lotus steal confidential documents from Jiang Yunjuan’s study. After Jiang Yunjuan discovered this, the white lotus cried, made a fuss, and threatened to hang herself. In the end, Jiang Yunjuan forgave her, and the two continued their entangled romance to the ends of the earth.
The appearance of such a mysterious “godfather” made Wen Qing suddenly stroke her chin, even looking at him with a bit of malicious amusement.
Tsk tsk, she really didn’t know if he treated the white lotus as a goddaughter?
Or a daughter?
Song Jingtian noticed Wen Qing’s gaze, slapped his forehead, and said with a smile, “Aiya, look at my memory, isn’t this Madam Jiang?”
Wen Qing smiled and nodded, “Yes, yes, hello.”
Song Jingtian smiled, saying meaningfully, “Everyone says Madam Jiang is a beauty rarely seen in a century. Seeing you today has indeed opened my eyes. I wonder if Madam Jiang would do me the honor of having a drink with me?”
Jiang Yunjuan subconsciously put her arm around Wen Qing’s waist and said coldly, “If you get drunk, go sober up. Do I need to have someone escort you out?”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present instantly fell silent, not a sound to be heard.
These words carried a hint of gunpowder.
But they didn’t dare to rashly take sides. They couldn’t afford to offend Jiang Yunjuan, and they couldn’t afford to offend this ruthless old fox in front of them even more.
After all, if they offended Jiang Yunjuan, there might still be a way out.
But if they offended this Song Jingtian, they probably wouldn’t even know when they were thrown into the sea to feed the sharks one day.
So the best thing was to remain silent and watch the tigers fight, to avoid being implicated.
Song Jingtian smiled, saying nonchalantly, “What is President Jiang worried about?”
Jiang Yunjuan replied softly, “Worried that President Song won’t be able to leave here.”
Just as Jiang Yunjuan was about to lose her temper, Wen Qing suddenly grabbed her hand and shook her head.
Wen Qing casually took a wine glass from a passing waiter’s tray, smiled, and said, “Okay, it’s just a glass of wine. But I have a very low tolerance for alcohol, so President Song, please don’t mind.”
Song Jingtian smiled, his face full of wrinkles, “I knew it. Everyone says Madam Jiang is sensible and generous, and your reputation is indeed well-deserved.”
Jiang Yunjuan looked down at her, warning, “Wen Qing.”
Wen Qing smiled and said, “Don’t worry, it’s okay.”
After saying that, she didn’t clink glasses with Song Jingtian but directly took a light sip of wine along the rim of the glass.
Song Jingtian didn’t mind, smiled, and drained his glass in one gulp.
But the next moment, Wen Qing suddenly moved, directly flicking her wrist back.
Before Song Jingtian could react, the entire glass of transparent yellow liquid had been splashed onto his face.
The movement was clean and swift, the wine glass completely empty.
Song Jingtian was somewhat incredulous at this sudden turn of events.
He reacted, wiped his face haphazardly, and cursed angrily, “Damn it! What do you mean by this?”
Wen Qing blinked, “Didn’t I tell you I have a low tolerance for alcohol? You still said you didn’t mind. Do all you men’s words sound like farts?”
Song Jingtian: “…”
He was so angry that he directly looked at Jiang Yunjuan and asked with a cold face, “President Jiang, is this how you condone your people’s recklessness?”
Jiang Yunjuan looked at him coldly, “You also said it, she is my person. She can do whatever she wants, what need is there for outsiders to interfere?”
Wen Qing: “???”
Damn it!!
Aaaaaaaah!
What the hell was that domineering CEO declaration!!!!
She suddenly had a feeling that this was the most domineering sentence she had ever heard Jiang Yunjuan say in her life!
If Jiang Yunjuan wasn’t usually so stingy, she would have almost fallen directly in love with her!
But the act still had to go on…
In an instant, she leaned weakly into Jiang Yunjuan’s embrace, let out a wronged “wuwu,” and said, “Jiang Yunjuan, people have a low tolerance for alcohol, people are drunk, what should we do?”
Jiang Yunjuan paused and then patted her shoulder comfortingly, “It’s okay, I’ll have someone take you back, okay?”
Wen Qing took the opportunity to ask, “But… what about the thirty million?”
Jiang Yunjuan said, “I’ll have it transferred to your account later.”
Wen Qing instantly felt happy and light, “ah, thank you, wife, love you, love you~~”
“…”
Everyone present was stunned.
They really hadn’t expected this development.
However, with Jiang Yunjuan and Song Jingtian just getting started, Yujiang City was about to have a good show to watch…
