Chapter 698: Interest Exchange

It was quiet late at night, but the nightclub was welcoming a carnival.
At the booth, a row of well-dressed men were hugging a peerless beauty. All of them were gentle and shy as they sat in the men’s arms with wine glasses in their hands. Their voices were delicate and charming.
The loud music was intoxicating. Under the lights, it looked lewd.
Only Jiang Han’s side was empty.
Sui Ling was already half drunk. He staggered to Jiang Han with a wine glass in his hand, his face red. “Brother Han, just because you’re so loyal to your brother, I’ll help you take down my sister!”
Jiang Han pursed his lips and smiled. He leaned forward slightly and picked up his wine glass. “Then whether we can become a family depends on you.”
“Don’t worry, leave it to me.” Sui Ling patted his chest. After clinking glasses with him, he drank it all in one gulp.
Sui Ling had always known that Jiang Han had taken a fancy to the eldest daughter of the Sui family.
In the past, he didn’t like Jiang Han, so he kept making things difficult for him. He often badmouthed Jiang Han in front of his sister.
This also caused Jiang Han to be unable to become the son-in-law of the Sui Family even after using all means.
Therefore, Jiang Han chose to help the Sui family deal with Yi Zheng this time.
The main reason why Sui Ling didn’t like Jiang Han was that he felt that Jiang Han was too pretentious.
They were all in the same circle and were all men with a lot of money. Who didn’t know what was going on in private?
They came out to play, but Jiang Han refused.
No matter how much he played behind the scenes, he was a well-dressed gentleman on the surface.
Just like now, all the men were hugging a beauty in their arms, but he was the only one who didn’t touch a single leaf. It made them seem so wanton.
If not for the fact that Sui Ling had accidentally bumped into a woman in Jiang Han’s residence, he would really believe the rumors that Jiang Han was cold toward women in the outside world.
However, they were all men. As long as Jiang Han was willing to help, he didn’t care how many women there were outside. Anyway, his sister wasn’t easy to deal with.
The two of them hit it off immediately, and Sui Ling immediately became drunk.
Jiang Han handed him to his assistant, patted his clothes, and left the nightclub with a righteous expression. Before getting into the car, he looked at his assistant beside him. “Tell Chen Jiao that she has to finish acting before I ask her to withdraw.”
The assistant adjusted his glasses and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, CEO Jiang. With Miss Chen’s personality, even if you don’t say it, she will have fun.”
After all, the other party was Yi Zheng.
Jiang Han narrowed his eyes and looked at him deeply. He opened the car door and got in without saying anything else.
The next morning, Shi Man was on leave from the army today. She woke up early and brought Su Tang and Bai Xue home for dinner after training as usual.
Today, Yi Zheng stayed at home to eat with them.
Shen Xian was happy, but when she saw Shi Man’s ugly face, her heart skipped a beat.
She stole a glance in Yi Zheng’s direction and saw that his face was filled with caution.
Yi Zheng said, “Manman, with your training, your diet has to be balanced. You’re eating too little now. Try the silver fungus soup 1 made this morning.”
Shi Man glanced at it and pushed the porridge bowl aside. “Thank you, but 1 don’t want to eat. 1 won’t be full if 1 eat porridge in the morning. 1 still like buns.”
Yi Zheng did not give up easily after she rejected him. Instead, he pushed a plate of buns in front of her even more eagerly. “1 drove to buy these this morning. It’s from the store you like.”
Shi Man sneered expressionlessly. “Thank you, but I like to eat the buns made at home now. After all, the things outside are very unclean and it’s easy to fall sick after eating them.”
She deliberately emphasized the last two sentences. Then, she picked up another plate of soup dumplings made at home and stuffed it into her mouth in front of Yi Zheng.
Yi Zheng’s face turned pale and his outstretched hand suddenly froze.
Shen Xian was surprised.
After her precious daughter got engaged to Yi Zheng, their relationship was visibly harmonious and sweet.
Now, her cold words seemed to have sent them back to the past.
What the hell was going on?
She stole a glance at Su Tang, only to see that the latter was also puzzled. Clearly, she did not know the inside story.
After hesitating for a while, Shen Xian asked carefully, “Manman, you haven’t seen Yi Zheng for a long time and you’re on leave today. Why don’t you let him bring you around the capital? The scenery here is very different from G City.”
She smiled gently and kindly. After saying that, she tried her best to shoot Yi Zheng a look.
Yi Zheng was delighted and hurriedly followed her words. “Manman, I’m not busy today. 1 can just leave things to Tang Zhe. Why don’t I take you around?
After you came to the capital, the two of us haven’t had a chance to have a meal alone and have a good chat.”
With that, he reached out to Shi Man, as if he wanted to hold her hand, but Shi Man decisively avoided him.
“No.” Shi Man still rejected coldly.
Yi Zheng had no choice but to sigh. “You have to give me a chance to speak before 1 can explain to you, right?”
Explain what?
Shen Xian’s eyes widened in confusion.
Had Yi Zheng really made his daughter angry?
