When Shen Youjin arrived at her workstation, she found a small gift box and a card inside. No wonder Bai Beichen had been insisting that she take it.
"I'm sorry, sister. Please forgive me~" There was also a crying emoji at the end.
She opened the gift box and found a five - carat flawless diamond ring inside. Just looking at it, one could tell it was extremely valuable.
She immediately found someone to appraise it, then calculated her own assets. With the diamond bracelet, the total was 12 million. She still needed 48 million to buy back the villa left by her mother.
Apart from this villa, there were also things that had been auctioned off by the court back then. She had bought back everything she could afford.
But now that she was pregnant, she also had to think about the baby in her belly. If she just worked in this company, she would never be able to turn things around in her whole life.
She had to figure out a way to make money. For example, opening her own studio.
She had majored in photography in college, and later Gu Zhiyuan had also found very famous photographers to teach her.
At that time, she said her dream was to have her own photography studio. She thought Gu Zhiyuan would support her, but unexpectedly, he had completely strangled her dream in the cradle.
Later, she realized that he just wanted her to be a singing and dancing canary, always relying on him, so that she would never be able to fly out of his palm.
Now she had no more concerns. She just needed a good investor and partner. Who would be suitable?
She pondered about this for a whole day. When she saw Jiang Zeshen after work, she threw the first olive branch to him.
"Do you want to cooperate with me?" she asked.
Jiang Zeshen seemed to have forgotten the little incident in the morning. He paused in the middle of buckling his seat belt and showed a charming smile. "Cooperate to have a baby? That can be considered."
"..." Shen Youjin was silent for two seconds, then said seriously, "No. Come and be my investor. I've thought about it. I still want to open my own photography studio."
Jiang Zeshen was a bit surprised to hear this. He even thought she was joking. "What? Do you think the salary I offer is too low? Isn't it good to be an employee in my company? You'll have a worry - free life."
He knew Shen Youjin's hobbies, and she had also mentioned her dream to him, but he had never really cared.
Just like when she wanted to come out to work, he thought she was just acting on a whim and would quit in a few days. So he was willing to accompany her in this madness.
"I'm serious," Shen Youjin said clearly and firmly. "I've thought it through. The initial investment is not much. Only 2 million will be enough. The subsequent dividends will be calculated according to..."
She clearly told Jiang Zeshen the plan she had thought about for a whole day. At first, Jiang Zeshen didn't take it seriously, but the more he listened, the more he realized she was serious. His expression also became solemn.
"Little princess, you should know that doing business is different from having feelings. Have you thought it through?"
He could give her a bag worth hundreds of thousands or a dress worth millions, but if it came to business, the nature would be completely different.
"Yeah," Shen Youjin nodded and asked him nervously, "Are you interested?"
Just as she finished speaking, the traffic light turned red.
Jiang Zeshen stopped the car and looked at Shen Youjin's fair little face. She wasn't even wearing makeup, but she was still extremely charming.
Especially those clear eyes. One would never get tired of looking at them even after seeing them tens of thousands of times.
For some reason, his heart skipped a beat. Suddenly, he said, "If I were your boyfriend, maybe I would give you a definite answer!" Shen Youjin remembered that night. "Are you so persistent because you like me or for some other reason?"
After saying that, her fingers unconsciously clenched together, which Jiang Zeshen didn't notice.
"Why do you ask this again?" Jiang Zeshen frowned. The wound on his back was still aching faintly. "Isn't my sincerity obvious enough?"
Shen Youjin didn't say a word. She didn't know how to answer either of these two questions.
With Jiang Zeshen's personality, he would never marry a woman just because they had slept together.
If that were the case, he would have been divorced hundreds of times already.
And this was the second time she had asked him this question. Asking again would seem too deliberate!
Fortunately, the traffic light turned green at this time. Jiang Zeshen drove her back. The two of them didn't say a word on the way.
Jiang Zeshen's phone rang once in the middle. She took a glance and vaguely saw the character "Yao". She seemed to have seen it somewhere.
Jiang Zeshen took a look and then hung up without hesitation. He seemed to be in a bad mood.
She couldn't really anger this man who might become her investor. She lowered her pride and coaxed him a bit, saying some nice words.
Maybe because they had broken up once, Jiang Zeshen wasn't as tough on her this time. He was much easier to coax than before. In just a few minutes, he was back to his old self.
"Aren't you going to invite me in for a sit - down?" Jiang Zeshen looked at her and reached out to brush the hair that had been blown messy by the wind. "I want to drink the wine you make."
His actions were gentle, but everyone knew what was on his mind. He clearly had ulterior motives.
"Your wound isn't healed yet. You can't drink," Shen Youjin's words immediately dashed his hopes. "You have to follow the doctor's advice!"
Jiang Zeshen was slightly stunned. Then he imitated Bai Beichen and said, "Then help me apply the medicine, sister~ I can't do it myself!"
Even though Shen Youjin always knew how to manage her expressions, she couldn't help but lose control at this moment. "Are you possessed by Bai Beichen?"
Maybe her look was too disdainful. Jiang Zeshen immediately returned to normal, straightened his back and said, "Help me apply the medicine."
Shen Youjin looked at him. This was more like him. What he had just done had given her goosebumps.
"Do you really care about Bai Beichen's existence?" she couldn't help but ask.
Jiang Zeshen chuckled when he heard this and said, "I just think... he's not good enough for my little princess!"
Shen Youjin didn't answer. In other people's eyes, a playboy like Jiang Zeshen wasn't good enough for her either.
What was even more ridiculous was that none of these men who were considered unworthy of her in others' eyes could actually marry her.
"It's getting late," she glanced at the setting sun on the horizon. The twilight had cast a golden halo on everyone. "You should go back!"
Jiang Zeshen didn't expect her to ask him to leave so soon. He felt a bit unwilling. Just as he was about to try to persuade Shen Youjin some more, his phone rang again.
This time, Shen Youjin saw clearly. It was a girl named "Zhou Yaoye". She remembered that she had heard from Jiang Zeshen's brother that this girl also looked a bit like Xia Linlang.
Her face changed. Could this man just act like a decent person? Was he collecting similar - looking girls?
If Xia Linlang knew about this, she would probably say it was "disgusting"!
Jiang Zeshen was very good at reading people's expressions. He immediately noticed that she was unhappy. Without even thinking, he hung up the phone and quickly chased after her.
"Baby, I was wrong..."
