"You really continue to surprise me, your knowledge, your demeanor, and many of your methods, they don’t seem to match your experiences at all. I find it really hard to understand how a woman like you became what you are now?" Jiang Shaoqing was genuinely curious.
"Since you’ve looked into my past, you should understand how I met Ayuan. How could a person who has died once not be cautious? How could they not change themselves? The so-called knowledge and demeanor, including what you think of my ruthlessness, put yourself in my shoes, think about it from my position. Wouldn’t you do the same?" Bai Xiao retorted, intending to steer the conversation away.
This topic was indeed not a safe one.
Jiang Shaoqing nodded, "From that perspective, of course, I can understand. If I were in your position, maybe I would act even more ruthlessly, even more decisively." Indeed, a girl who had died once and suffered four years of abuse, if she still hadn’t changed, then perhaps she indeed deserved to die.
Such a person was almost more guilty in death; even Jiang Shaoqing felt there was no need for sympathy.
"I just ask you to believe that everything I do will absolutely not harm you. You might find some actions unthinkable, but I just want you to understand that we are on the same side. Perhaps the information I can provide you is something you’ve always dreamed of.
I will only make the Jiang Family stronger, never harm you."
"Why say that?" Jiang Shaoqing was puzzled by what Bai Xiao wanted, as a person with no desires would indeed be strange.
He never believed that there was such a thing as a free lunch in this world; a pie falling from the sky could easily be poisoned.
"Because the stronger the Jiang Family is, the greater the protection I receive," Bai Xiao spoke bluntly.
Jiang Shaoqing looked at An Zhiyuan with a smirk that could indeed infuriate any man’s pride.
Bai Xiao shook her head; this Jiang Shaoqing really did like to provoke like a big boy every now and then.
"I’m not saying that Ayuan can’t help me, but because I am the link between you and him, he can provide me with information you absolutely can’t, just like the way he protects me is in another manner. You should understand what kind of person he is, and what kind of person I am. There are many things we can’t conveniently do.
The reason I reveal so much information to you is that you have the freedom to act," Bai Xiao would not undermine her own man.
Jiang Shaoqing snorted through his nose, his expression unreadable.
"Now it seems a bit unfair, being two against one. How can I be sure that the information you provide me is accurate?"
Bai Xiao smiled, a subtle and warm smile. Jiang Shaoqing knew; this girl was just beautiful, the ugly duckling had long since turned into a swan.
"Don’t try to charm me with beauty; your beauty tricks only work on An over there. That approach won’t work with me; I’m not going to be muddled like he occasionally is."
"Jiang, are you seriously joking? Well, to demonstrate my sincerity, I have a piece of news for you now that relates to you and your family, a major matter. Once you verify it you can consider whether our cooperation could be beneficial to you.
And I believe if you go to Yun Province, it will be very convenient for you, since your family has a private plane."
