CHAPTER 439: CHAPTER 439: EXCITED MOOD

After Jiang Huai found out about this matter, he originally wanted to mock Ji Yu, but when he called, he realized that she had already blocked him.

His initially cheerful mood suddenly turned gloomy. He knew Ji Yu would never just end up being with him.

"Yu, you really are exceptionally ruthless, to make such decisions even toward someone you like. But what does it matter? I can still have you regardless."

He had a plethora of strategies and could use various methods to make others submit.

The next time he appeared in front of Ji Yu, it was when she was negotiating a partnership with someone else.

Ji Yu, of course, had noticed him from the beginning. However, she treated him as if he were air, entirely ignoring him.

"Yu, why the cold shoulder when old friends reunite? Actually, there are still some things we can talk through properly. I think there are many misunderstandings between us."

"Misunderstandings?" From beginning to end, there were no misunderstandings between them. It had always been about their opposing actions.

"I’ve never thought there were any misunderstandings between us. Since you’re already here, you should understand my attitude towards you." Ji Yu looked at him icily, visibly disinterested in engaging further conversation.

However, their cooperative partner seemed quite familiar with Jiang Huai. When the partner noticed the unpleasant exchange between them, they hurriedly tried to mediate.

"Perhaps there really is some misunderstanding here. I believe Miss Ji simply doesn’t know Mr. Jiang well enough. While he may not have handled certain matters perfectly, surely someone like him wouldn’t resort to extreme measures?"

Exactly. How could someone like him possibly commit extreme actions? Yet, it was just due to his distorted personality.

"Then I can only say that you’re not familiar enough with your so-called President Jiang. When he loses it, he doesn’t even spare himself."

Indeed. Right now, he wouldn’t leave himself alone, continuing to struggle in this vortex, unable to live as a normal person.

"Yu, I don’t mind whatever you say about me. But if you think you can escape me, that’s absolutely impossible."

There should’ve been countless things they could say to each other.

"You have to believe that the feelings between us can overcome anything."

"Really? I feel like whatever you’re saying has nothing to do with me. I don’t care about what you’re saying, nor do I want to care." What kind of person he was held no great significance to Ji Yu because, from the start, he had always been someone she aimed to deal with.

"Yu, the way you look at me is becoming increasingly hateful. I liked when you looked at me softly, and I liked when you looked at me like I was new to you. But I absolutely despise seeing hatred in your eyes."

He could tolerate anything—except that.

"What right do you have to criticize here? Just seeing you is already the greatest tolerance I can afford. For the longest time, I thought someone like you should be completely ignored—that’s the only way you could be truly punished."

If not for his excessive actions, they wouldn’t have had such entanglement.

"Ji Yu, every time you treat me like this, I feel irresistibly captivated, as though you’ve utterly cornered me."

Their cooperative partner’s expression turned incredibly awkward, inwardly feeling that Jiang Huai sounded like a complete psychopath.

"You come off like a masochist. I don’t want to engage further with a pervert like you. Since you two know each other, your personalities must be quite similar, right? Let’s call off this partnership instead."

Ji Yu didn’t want to invite trouble for herself. Seeing how familiar they were, she resolved against pursuing the collaboration.

When the cooperative partner heard this, they grew anxious. This partnership was highly advantageous for their company, and letting it unravel would entail substantial losses.

"Miss Ji, I’m sure there are still misunderstandings here. I hope you’d communicate properly with me. I believe we can clear this up."

"There’s no misunderstanding. Since you and he are long-time acquaintances, it’s clear there is some deep-seated bond between you two. I don’t want a partnership that inevitably involves interacting with someone like him." Ji Yu stood up decisively, intending to leave the private room.

Reaching the negotiation stage already meant they had contacted each other several times prior. Yet, she didn’t anticipate her collaborator to know someone like Jiang Huai.

"Yu, if you’re acting like this because of me, there’s no need. But if you think I’m worth this much trouble, I’m happy to see you walk away."

Jiang Huai fully understood Ji Yu’s personality.

So he employed some reverse psychology here, evidently aiming to make her realize a specific point.

"Jiang Huai, you truly excel at shamelessly flattering yourself. But do you think such basic reverse psychology would fool me? I’ll never believe your words. And perhaps by then, your company’s shareholders might end up being replaced by you."

Ji Yu was well aware of his schemes, making herself immune to them.

Jiang Huai chuckled. "True. We know each other so well, yet you still refuse to accept me. If only you did, I’d realize there’s someone in this world who matches me perfectly."

He never imagined there should be anyone else between them—a sentiment he had held from the very beginning, even when Gu Qixiao’s presence had seemed redundant.

"Though I understand what kind of person you are, I could never become someone like you. I don’t want a life with someone as dangerous as you."

Someone who could commit extreme actions at any moment.

"Yes, I am indeed dangerous. But what of it? As long as I can be with you, I can change all that."

The "change" he spoke of was undoubtedly different from what others envisioned.

"Then can you hand over the antidote? Only if you give me the antidote might I consider having a proper discussion with you."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Huai’s expression changed slightly.

"Seems that’s out of the question."
