"We haven't seen each other for days, have you missed me?"
Zhang Xiaohui's voice rang out, full of allure and irresistible charm.
An Feng gave a bitter smile, "You scared me when you suddenly showed up.
If my wife and daughter saw this..."
Zhang Xiaohui puckered her lips, "Well, just get a divorce if they see us. Aren't I better than your wife?"
An Feng said, "Each has their own merits."
Zhang Xiaohui, "If you divorced her, I'd do everything I can to help you.
Your career would skyrocket, reaching heights you wouldn't dare to dream of before."
An Feng earnestly said, "But if I were the kind of person who would abandon my wife and child for personal gains, would you still like me?
I could abandon them for gains now, and certainly do the same to you in the future."
Zhang Xiaohui's voice wavered, "You're right..."
Next, a soft murmuring sound filled the air.
Jiang Xu watched, jealous... or rather, awkward.
There's no denying that An Feng was smooth with his words.
A strong-willed woman like her was under his control.
No wonder he became the richest man in his past life.
After about ten minutes of chatting, when Jiang Xu was almost dozing off, they finally stopped.
They exchanged what seemed like skin-crawling sweet nothings before they parted ways.
Jiang Xu waited for a little more than a minute before leaving.
He saw An Feng walking home alone.
Zhang Xiaohui's car had already left.
A moment of hesitation, then Jiang Xu appeared in front of An Feng and stopped him.
An Feng flinched, then smiled, "Oh, Xiao Xu, what a surprise to see you here."
Jiang Xu said lightly, "Uncle, I saw everything."
An Feng's smile faded, "What did you see?"
Jiang Xu, "You being intimate with Zhang Xiaohui."
An Feng's face paled.
He wanted to explain, but he didn't know where to begin.
Jiang Xu didn't pay attention to his change in expression and continued, "Uncle, Zhang Xiaohui is younger, more beautiful, and wealthier than Auntie.
But I hope you understand that you mustn't discard the wife of your youth.
Also, consider Nuonuo's feelings. I hope she never finds out about this, alright?"
Things like this weren't uncommon.
At least, that's what Jiang Xu thought.
Which wealthy man didn't have a mistress?
But while one could play around, one also needed to keep their family intact.
Jiang Xu didn't want Nuonuo to discover one day that her seemingly honest and kind-hearted father could do something like this.
An Feng looked serious, "Rest assured, I'll keep this secret forever."
"Good," Jiang Xu changed his tone, putting on a curious expression.
He made a face at An Feng, "Uncle, tell me, how did you win over that strong-willed woman?"
Although Jiang Xu had suspected something between them after the first time he found out An Feng had saved Zhang Xiaohui.
He was still surprised and extremely curious when he witnessed it himself this time.
An Feng was a bit taken aback by Jiang Xu's sudden change of expressions.
But seeing his curious gaze and the admiration hidden in his eyes, An Feng explained with a bit of pride.
Actually, it was pretty straightforward.
It was a common trait among many people.
They tend to be attracted to those who didn't reciprocate the feelings.
Zhang Xiaohui excelled in many aspects.
Which led to every man who met her to admire her.
But An Feng was an exception.
He had met Zhang Xiaohui many times.
But his eyes didn't reveal the instinctual desire a man usually had towards a woman.
Which aroused Zhang Xiaohui's curiosity.
So, she made numerous attempts and eventually, they became a couple.
Besides being envious, Jiang Xu wasn't sure how else to react.
With such a powerful confidante, it would be hard not to succeed.
Lastly, An Feng reminded him, "Remember to keep this a secret."
"Don't worry," Jiang Xu patted his chest in assurance, "I swear I won't let Nuonuo get hurt."
An Feng seemed relieved.
They parted ways afterward.
Jiang Xu was still in high spirits.
At least, now he had a substantial piece of leverage against An Feng.
If An Feng disagreed with him dating Nuonuo in the future, he could threaten him with this.
Uncle, you wouldn't want Auntie and your daughter to know about this, would you?
Hehehehe.
Although the method could be a bit underhanded, as long it worked, it didn't matter.
The next day, Fu Yanjie arrived with good news.
Which was within Jiang Xu's expectations.
They had prepared their contracts following the simplest format.
Fu Yanjie signed his name after checking that everything was in order.
Instantly, he seemed more confident.
He stood up on his chair, "Ahem, as the second shareholder of the company, I would like to say a few words..."
An Nuonuo whispered to Jiang Xu, "Could I... become a shareholder?"
She totally believed in Jiang Xu's abilities.
Simultaneously, deeper factors unconsciously influenced her decision.
Jiang Xu nodded, "Of course you can, how much can you contribute?"
An Nuonuo, "I only had about two thousand yuan.
But yesterday, Dad came home and suddenly gave me fifty thousand.
He said a girl should have some savings.
I didn't want it, but he insisted and told me not to tell Mom..."
When she said this, her eyes held a hint of confusion.
It was obvious An Feng was feeling guilty and wanted to compensate by giving his daughter money.
No, rather it was to ease his own troubled conscience.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xu gritted his teeth in anger, feeling unfairly treated.
What was he trying to imply?
Why give his daughter so much money?
As the one who discovered his secret, why didn't he even offer me a single penny as hush money?
If An Nuonuo wished to become a shareholder, that was fine.
She would receive a 0.5% share according to her investment.
Delighted, An Nuonuo left to get the money.
Fu Yanjie stared at her with envy, "You're lucky, having such a beautiful and talented girlfriend.
As for me, I have no idea when I'll finally win over Sister Yuanyuan."
This guy, he still hadn't given up.
Jiang Xu didn't bother trying to dissuade him.
Just like how he wouldn't listen no matter how much Fu Yanjie tried to persuade him not to pursue Zhou Qingyue in the past.
Speaking of the devil, she appears.
Wang Xiaoyuan suddenly showed up.
Fu Yanjie launched towards her like a dog who had picked up a scent, praising her in many ways. It made Jiang Xu roll his eyes.
Did he really need to be so obsequious?
This suddenly reminded him of a saying.
You're the busiest man in the circus.
You're the wildest man in Getan City.
You're the watchman in front of McDonald's.
You're the king and the joker in a deck of cards.
Wang Xiaoyuan politely exchanged a few words with Fu Yanjie,
Then turned to Jiang Xu, "Are you free? I need to talk to you about something."
