Chapter 30 Shen hope's Speechlessness
Lin Zheng sat down opposite Jiang Huaimeng.
Shen hope elegantly and skillfully brewed the tea, and Lin Zheng thanked her.
"Young Master Lin, you're too kind," she replied calmly.
He took a sip of tea and thought it tasted good: "This is good tea."
Jiang Huaimeng asked curiously, "Does Young Master Lin usually know anything about tea?"
Lin Zheng shook his head: "I haven't done much research, but I know that President Jiang likes to drink tea, so if you want to test me on some questions, I believe I can answer some of them."
Jiang Huaimeng smiled, "You really know all my hobbies."
"Young Master Lin isn't here to take an exam today, so I have no interest in asking those questions. But, Young Master Lin, have you found out the identities of those people who kidnapped you last time? Have those bad guys been brought to justice since then?"
Lin Zheng laughed and said, "I have already found out who kidnapped me, but I did nothing to them."
"Oh? How was that handled?"
Lin Zheng covered his mouth with his hand and whispered, "Please don't tell anyone that I've become friends with those people."
Jiang Huaimeng pretended not to understand at all.
Lin Zheng also deliberately pretended to have no secrets:
"If I told others about this, some people might think I'm crazy, so I didn't tell anyone else. But I think President Jiang would definitely understand me. That night when I was kidnapped, I chatted with the leader for a while and found out he was a very loyal brother."
I'm currently planning to invest in the entertainment industry and need someone to manage things, so I'm thinking of partnering with him on a business venture.
Jiang Huaimeng was somewhat surprised that Lin Zheng had told her this so directly.
And to be honest, if you don't know the inside story, doing business with kidnappers does sound like you're crazy.
"Young Master Lin, your way of thinking and your judgment of people are truly different from others. Making friends with kidnappers? Those are the people who almost killed you, aren't you afraid?"
Lin Zheng smiled and said:
"What's there to be afraid of? We're all brothers from all corners of the world. Let's keep things separate. If a grown man is so petty about such a small matter, how will he ever grow and become stronger? Jiang Wei even tried to kill Zhuge Liang, but in the end, he became the one who believed in him the most. Don't you think so, Mr. Jiang?"
Jiang Huaimeng slowly shook her head, appearing like an ordinary woman: "I'm a woman, so I don't really understand these things about you men, but Young Master Lin must have his own reasons for doing things, so I won't interfere."
Lin Zheng whispered:
"However, I hope Mr. Jiang will keep this a secret for me. No matter what, if others find out who I'm doing business with, they'll think it's very strange, and they might even think I'm crazy."
Jiang Huaimeng suddenly laughed upon hearing this: "If Young Master Lin didn't want to tell others, why did he tell me?"
"Because I know you won't tell anyone."
Why?
Lin Zheng paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "President Jiang really wants to know?"
"Um."
"Then I'll just state my thoughts directly, which might be a bit blunt."
Jiang Huaimeng slowly nodded: "Go ahead and talk, we've already come this far."
"Okay... It's actually very simple. I personally trust President Jiang completely! If there is one person in this world to whom I can safely and confidently tell all my secrets, that person is President Jiang."
Jiang Huaimeng continued to listen to his candor:
"Especially after my family mentioned that matter to me half a month ago, I felt that President Jiang and I were already family. Even though we haven't officially entered the marriage hall yet, in my heart, there's actually a difference between sooner and later. I don't want to tell any lies to the person who is about to become my wife, and I even feel very awkward about keeping a facade right now."
Jiang Huaimeng pursed her lips slightly.
His face was full of fear, but he was very happy inside.
The most obvious sign that a man likes a woman is that he tells her everything, which is enough to prove a lot.
Unfortunately, since it was their first meeting, she couldn't show too much of her true feelings on the surface.
"Young Master Lin, you're a very interesting person, much more interesting than I originally imagined."
Lin Zheng admitted, "I think so too."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Shen hope wanted to roll her eyes after listening to the whole thing, especially the way President Jiang played with the puppy; she thought it was really leisurely and elegant.
Even though President Jiang clearly understands everything, and even knows that she orchestrated it all, she still pretends to be a kind and understanding fiancée in front of Lin Zheng, despite her initial surprise.
What was the point of all this? Would the former President Jiang have had time for such trivial matters?
And this scoundrel, he's just as hypocritical. Why is he pretending to be such a refined gentleman? Is this the tone he usually speaks in?
Last time at that female college student's house, he was acting like a dog, but now he's acting like a normal person. It's one thing to be clingy, but she really can't stand his pretentious act.
Fortunately, President Jiang knew his true situation, otherwise he would have been completely fooled by this guy.
The ringing of the telephone in the living room unexpectedly interrupted their conversation.
Jiang Huaimeng gave Shen hope a look.
Shen hope answered the phone, relieved that she no longer had to listen to these pretentious words.
After finding out who had called, Shen hope reported, "President Jiang, it was Xiao Yan who called. She said she's coming over for dinner later and has something to discuss with you."
Jiang Huaimeng's expression changed slightly.
Lin Zheng stopped drinking tea. Was it Jiang Huaimeng's younger sister, Xiao Yan?
Isn't that the female lead of the book? The real protagonist.
Jiang Huaimeng extended her hand and said to Lin Zheng, "Excuse me, please wait a moment, Young Master Lin."
"It's alright, you go ahead with your work."
Jiang Huaimeng answered the phone and listened to her very career-driven younger sister talking about coming over tonight and briefly explaining the reasons for her visit.
Jiang Huaimeng's expression remained unchanged, but her slender fingers slowly clenched.
That was a sign of unhappiness. Usually, it wasn't a big deal if her family members bothered her, but tonight... she had originally planned to have dinner with Lin Zheng.
"I understand, okay, then I'll wait for you at home tonight. Hmm, I miss you too."
After the call ended, Lin Zheng spoke first: "It seems I won't be able to stay and have dinner with President Jiang tonight."
Jiang Huaimeng genuinely felt it was a pity. She quite liked Lin Zheng's pretentious demeanor, which gave her a kind of innocent feeling of trying hard to perform in front of someone she liked.
In that case, we'll have to meet late at night...
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, but my sister said she has something to discuss. She said that a project of the group has encountered some trouble, and I need to discuss countermeasures with her."
"It's alright. Do you need my help? If so, Mr. Jiang, you can call me anytime. Don't let my appearance fool you, I'm actually very capable."
Jiang Huaimeng laughed and said, "I don't know exactly how many problems we've encountered yet. If they're too difficult to handle, I might really have to call Young Master Lin for help."
"That's great. I might be too lazy to help others with their problems, but Mr. Jiang is the only exception."
He stood up: "I won't disturb you any longer. Although I only chatted with President Jiang for a short while, I was really happy. If I may ask, should our engagement next month proceed smoothly?"
Jiang Huaimeng pursed her lips and looked at Lin Zheng, then slowly said, "As long as Young Master Lin doesn't regret marrying me, that's fine."
Lin Zheng's gaze was gentle yet filled with anticipation for the future, and he smiled as he said, "Marrying President Jiang is a decision I will never regret. I'm leaving now, President Jiang, you don't need to see me off."
Jiang Huaimeng gazed into his loving eyes and slowly uttered a sentence:
"Then please drive carefully."
Watching Lin Zheng leave, drive away into the courtyard, she slowly picked up her teacup, but couldn't help bursting into laughter.
Then came a continuous, barely concealed smile.
Shen hope was stunned; it was the first time she had ever seen President Jiang smile like that for so long.
"General Jiang..."
After Lin Zheng left, Jiang Huaimeng's gaze was no longer gentle, but instead turned into a cold, almost sickly look:
"He's really interesting, especially the part where he said he didn't regret it so sincerely. How can there be a man like that in the world? For the first time in my life, I'm looking forward to the future like this."
