CHAPTER 220: CHAPTER 220: OVERESTIMATING ONESELF

Because she married Shen Tenglong, who is nearly twenty years older than her, for money and status.

Everything she once dreamed of, she achieved, except happiness.

Hence, Jiang Qingyao decided to give Su Ming and Shen Mengxue some time to slowly walk their own paths.

As for how far they will go in the future, she just wants to be a quiet spectator and watch from the sidelines.

Shen Mengxue and Shen Ruyun were shocked at this moment. Although, due to the barrier of the glass, they couldn’t hear what Su Ming and Jiang Qingyao were saying inside.

But they saw that Jiang Qingyao, who was always strong, chose to compromise, which made them feel inconceivable.

So when Su Ming came out, they eagerly inquired.

Su Ming just said he revealed his inner thoughts, without going into any details.

This made Shen Ruyun, who loved gossip, feel extremely curious.

Meanwhile, there was a grateful and moved look in Shen Mengxue’s deep eyes, as if she understood what Su Ming told Jiang Qingyao earlier.

The next day, Su Ming, as usual, brought Zhou Yajing to Wanhong Group Corporation.

After the meeting, they went to the entrance of a cafe together.

Su Ming waited at the entrance, while Zhou Jingya went straight in.

At this time, a tall man wearing a black jacket with a white shirt underneath and slicked-back hair stood up from his seat.

This man turned out to be Wu Rong, a business tycoon who spans the Jiangnan Region!

He greeted Zhou Jingya with a smile and said, "Chairman Zhou, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time."

Upon seeing this, Zhou Jingya remained calm, and there was no fluctuation in her eyes.

She sat directly opposite Wu Rong and got straight to the point; "There’s no need for pleasantries, I’m here today to ask whether one thousand ten million can settle this?"

Wu Rong came from Xia City wanting to take over the two commercially valuable plots of land beside Wanhong Group with minimal costs.

So, he used his elaborate network connections, putting Wanhong Group in a significant debt crisis!!

Therefore, Zhou Jingya had to come to see Wu Rong, hoping to block his mouth with ten million.

To stop him from thinking about those two pieces of land at Wanhong Group.

"Chairman Zhou, your joke is a bit much. Even ten million isn’t enough to compensate for what I spent to utilize those connections."

Upon saying this, Wu Rong’s smile suddenly disappeared, and a greedy and sinister expression appeared.

"There’s no way I’m giving up those two plots. How could I let the duck near my mouth fly away? Don’t you agree?"

Zhou Jingya, upon hearing this, leaned back slightly in her chair, and a cool expression immediately appeared on her face.

"Then we have nothing to talk about. You asking me to sell those two plots to you voluntarily is impossible!"

After saying this, Zhou Jingya stood up, planning to walk toward the door.

"Zhou Jingya, you wouldn’t take the toast, now taste the punishment!!"

Wu Rong saw this and an intense anger appeared on his face.

He stood up directly, shouted angrily at Zhou Jingya, and gave the two bodyguards at the door a look.

Wu Rong initially wanted Zhou Jingya to voluntarily sell the land to him to keep his costs at the lowest.

Otherwise, he’d have to continue using his network.

And although he’d ultimately still acquire the two plots, the costs and price he’d pay would be several times higher.

Wu Rong is a businessman who sees wealth as life, naturally wanting the lowest price for the highest profit,

so he tried to maintain a good attitude towards Zhou Jingya, even with a tone of pleading in his words.

But unexpectedly, Zhou Jingya gave him no face at all, and he couldn’t contain his anger anymore.

The tall bodyguards at the door promptly understood Wu Rong’s intent.

They directly and slowly approached Zhou Jingya, their body exuding an intimidating aura.

Even though Zhou Jingya’s face remained calm.

But a sense of panic surged inside her heart.

No matter how fierce her methods and decisive her character, she was still ultimately just a woman.

At this moment, seeing the two fierce-looking, tall, and burly bodyguards with ruthless eyes slowly closing in on her.

This strong woman’s body finally trembled slightly, and there was a hint of fear in her eyes.

She braced herself and said, "Wu Rong, what do you want to do?"

"I don’t want to do anything, just to make Chairman Zhou understand that Wanhong is not the Wanhong of the past. A strong dragon can suppress a local snake."

Wu Rong said with a mocking smile on his face.

Su Ming heard the commotion in the cafe and immediately walked in.

He saw two tall and strong men pressing down on Zhou Jingya.

Su Ming’s expression slightly changed, and his eyes instantly became sharp.

He walked directly in front of Zhou Jingya, with his gaze like a sharp sword, dead set on these two bodyguards.

"Interesting."

One bodyguard was momentarily stunned, then sneered mockingly.

They saw Su Ming’s thin figure as feeble, seemingly unable to fight back against anything.

Then clenched their fists tightly, emitting bone-cracking sounds that chilled the spine.

Wu Rong, seeing Su Ming’s back, felt a sense of familiarity as if he had seen him somewhere before.

Seeing this, Zhou Jingya’s face showed a faint hint of despair.

She also didn’t believe Su Ming could take on two and suppress the terrifying men like tigers and leopards before her.

"Kid, you’re simply asking for death!!!"

The two bodyguards, seeing Su Ming’s indifferent expression as if he didn’t care about them at all.

Suddenly, anger appeared on their faces, raising their fists to punch Su Ming hard.

Upon seeing this, Su Ming’s expression moved slightly, raising his arm slowly as if he was going to clash with the bodyguards’ fist, like sandbags.

"Overestimating yourself." Wu Rong laughed disdainfully.

He seemed to have already envisioned Su Ming’s arm being smashed and cracked, then seeing him drowning in pain.

At this moment, Wu Rong’s laughter abruptly froze!!!

Because the scene he imagined did not happen, and a dreadful wail echoed throughout the cafe.
