"What do I mean, don’t you understand?" Ji Niandong put down her wine glass abruptly, not having taken a sip, folded her hands in front of her, "Back then you said it was because I had an accident, so the company gave it a lot of thought and decided to let others take over the styling project. I thought, if anyone’s going to take over, better it be you, right? But was it really the company’s decision?"
Shen Congjun’s face turned blue and white alternately, "Tongtong, did you remember something?"
"What do you think, Mr. Shen?!" Her attitude suddenly shifted, and Shen Congjun shuddered all over.
Ji Niandong didn’t even want to look at him again. Why did it take her so long to realize this man was so shameless and cowardly?
Had he hidden it too well before?
Or was it that she never cared at all?
Shen Congjun stuttered for quite a while, suddenly seeming to gather courage as his attitude turned tough, "So what? Didn’t I take care of you for so long when you were in the hospital? I’ve done everything I could!"
"Is that so?" she asked rhetorically, igniting a rage in Shen Congjun’s heart for some unknown reason. This woman, whom he had always firmly held in the palm of his hand, he now couldn’t even tell if she was angry or pleased!
Gripping the wine glass, he took a fierce swallow, then slammed it down on the table with such force that it made a noise. It seemed to embolden him as he arrogantly replied, "So, what brings you here now?"
"What do you think?!" She looked at him with a half-smile.
It was as if she was playing Tai Chi with him, this contemptuous yet unfocused attitude almost drove Shen Congjun mad, "So what do you want? That was all five years ago, and besides, we have nothing to do with Banana Entertainment now. Is there any point in pursuing it?"
He chuckled disdainfully.
"I don’t care either!"
Her truly indifferent expression made him uneasy, as if today from beginning to end he was like a headless fly being toyed with by her, unable to do anything.
"It’s just..." she pondered for a moment, her face still indifferent, "For the past five years, my dad has kept a close watch on me at home. I thought... he didn’t want me in the entertainment industry, but now that I’ve stepped in, he hasn’t opposed it at all, frequently keeping up with my news, worried that I’d get taken advantage of. So, since you stole my star-making project, there is no way you’d let me return to Banana Entertainment, ruining your success. How did you convince my dad to keep me at home?"
Shen Congjun sneered, "Is there anything I need to do? You did something like that, and naturally, your father wanted to keep an eye on you!" Thɪs chapter is updated by novelꜰire.net
"What kind of thing? Hiding in a hotel in Paris?"
Shen Congjun didn’t look at her, just snorted disdainfully.
Ji Niandong took a deep breath, "In any case, I don’t need that star-making project from back then anymore. Even if you delayed me for five years, I can still rise to the top!"
"You’re just relying on Lu Beichen’s support!" When Shen Congjun mentioned this name, he nearly gritted his teeth.
"Is that so?" Ji Niandong gave a slight smile, with a look of satisfaction and pride, "I do have my husband’s support, so Shen Congjun, shouldn’t you be wise enough to feel privileged to at least have this one chance to sit here and have a meal with me?"
"Husband?! You two are married?!" Shen Congjun was shocked, standing up abruptly, almost knocking the glassware on the table to the floor.
