As Jiang Yun suddenly reached out to grab Chang Shi Gui's hand, Zhang Qingyun couldn't help but turn to look at Ning Xi. He noticed that her face was expressionless, looking as cold as an exquisite sculpture, beautiful but lifeless.
"What's so good about Ning Xi? Brother Chang, as long as you marry me, the shares in my father's hands would be ours in the future." Jiang Yun grabbed Chang Shi Gui's sleeve tightly, refusing to let go. "Ning Xi is not worthy of you. The upper-class will only laugh at you as long as you are with her. Why can't you come to your senses?"
Chang Shi Gui pulled Jiang Yun's hands away roughly, unlike his usual gentlemanly demeanour. "Jiang Yun, I don't need the Jiang family's shares. As to whether Ning Xi is worthy of me, that's our own problem. We don't need outsiders to make such judgements for us."
"I've known you since I was young, but in your eyes, all I am is an outsider?" Jiang Yun was both angry and anxious, as tears fell from her eyes. "I'm willing to do anything for you. Can Ning Xi do that?"
"I don't need her to do anything for me." Seeing that Jiang Yun was about to launch herself at him, Chang Shi Gui raised his hand slightly. Immediately, two bodyguards appeared from the dark corner, blocking Jiang Yun from Chang Shi Gui.
"Chang Shi Gui, you bastard!" When Jiang Yun saw that Chang Shi Gui had used his bodyguards to block her, she couldn't contain her emotions anymore. She squatted down and burst into tears.
Chang Shi Gui looked down at the sobbing Jiang Yun, his brows furrowed. "Why must you be like this?"
"I've liked you since I was young. Each time after you rejected me, I still didn't give up." Jiang Yun wiped her tears with the back of her hand. "If you got together with Bai Lu, I wouldn't have anything to say. But why must you like a lowly actress?"
"Jiang Yun, it's my problem that I can't reciprocate your feelings, but I hope that I will never have to hear you insult my lover ever again." Chang Shi Gui looked at her coldly. "There are some things that should never be repeated."
The tears that slid past the corner of her lips were bitter and astringent. Jiang Yun looked at this heartless man, and her hatred towards Ning Xi intensified. "Chang Shi Gui, you will regret treating me like this."
Chang Shi Gui couldn't be bothered to maintain a basic level of courtesy as he looked at her glumly and said, "Jiang Yun, think before you act, or you won't be able to deal with the consequences."
Jiang Yun's heart chilled. She knew that Chang Shi Gui wasn't lying. If she dared to do anything to Ning Xi, the ones who would suffer at the end would be the entire Jiang family.
What drug did Ning Xi feed him, so much so that he was willing to even cut off relations with the Jiang family for her?
On the other hand, having witnessed the entire conversation, Zhang Qingyun turned his head awkwardly to look at Ning Xi. Unfortunately, Ning Xi's head was lowered, and her hair covered the side of her face, so he couldn't see her expression.
He retrieved his gaze, but he couldn't help but think, Chang Shi Gui was really very good to Ning Xi.
At this moment, Jiang Yun, who had been blocked by the bodyguards, suddenly rushed forward and hugged Chang Shi Gui.
Chang Shi Gui raised his hand to push Jiang Yun aside. However, he didn't control his strength, hence Jiang Yun fell to the floor.
"Tap, tap, tap."
Footsteps could be heard moving closer to them. Jiang Yun looked up and saw Ning Xi sashaying over.
"Xixi, I ..." Chang Shi Gui looked at Ning Xi, as awkwardness and anxiety flashed across his face.
