Jiang Shangxin pushed the door open and came in, just like he had done countless times before when he came to the office to find Jiang Zhuliu.
The difference was that this time Jiang Zhuliu did not stand up to greet him.
Jiang Zhuliu sat behind his desk, staring coldly at Jiang Shangxin who walked in gracefully, and said sarcastically, "Isn't this my wife? It's been a long time since we last met. It's really strange, it's so difficult to see my wife-----"
Jiang Shangxin did not respond to Jiang Zhuliu's question. He walked straight to the sofa area in the office, sat down, and rang the service bell next to him.
Secretary Lili pushed the door open and asked, "Director Jiang, what do you want?"
Jiang Zhuliu waved his hand, signaling Lili to go out. Jiang Shangxin said, "Bring me a cup of coffee. You know my taste."
"Okay, Miss Jiang-----" The secretary knew that the chairman and the general had a conflict, but she didn't know how serious their conflict was. In her opinion, isn't it natural for couples to quarrel? As for the chairman's wife's request, she naturally had to do her best to meet it.
The secretary left and quickly brought a cup of freshly ground American black coffee with a spoonful of milk and half a spoonful of sugar. This was the usual taste of the general.
Jiang Shangxin took the black coffee, took a deep sniff, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Lili, you understand me better than any man----"
"Miss Jiang, you are too polite." Lili could tell that the tone was wrong. This sentence made her hate him too much. She looked at Jiang Zhuliu with a face full of grievance and quickly retreated.
Jiang Zhuliu leaned back on the chair, looking at Jiang Shangxin who was sitting far away enjoying his coffee, and said, "You left in a hurry last time, and you came back so openly this time. I was still waiting foolishly for your safety message after landing in Paris, but you ran off with another man and I don't know where you went. What do you want to say this time? A showdown? Are you going to divorce me?"
The general sipped his coffee carefully and said, "I ran away in a hurry last time because there was a mad dog chasing me. I could bear it if it bit my finger, but if it bit my throat, I would lose my life. Is it okay not to run?"
Jiang Zhuliu laughed loudly, stood up and walked towards the rest area where Jiang Shangxin was. He looked into Jiang Shangxin's eyes and said, "A mad dog is still a mad dog. Aren't you afraid of having your throat bitten off by a mad dog this time?"
"That would only be something a mad dog could do."
"What's wrong?" Jiang Zhuliu stared at Jiang Shangxin's slender neck and said, "Did you apply poison on your neck? If that's true, Mad Dog wouldn't mind trying it----"
While Jiang Zhuliu was speaking, he had already sat down next to Jiang Shangxin and reached out to touch Jiang Shangxin's neck.
Jiang Shangxin avoided his dirty hands and said, "It's because I have a dog-beating stick. If a dog dares to show its teeth at me, I will hit it with the stick."
Jiang Zhuliu stopped what he was doing, stared at Jiang Shangxin with burning eyes, and said, "Really? I'm really curious, what kind of dog-beating stick is it?"
"you guess?"
Jiang Zhuliu sat upright, his hands crossed as if negotiating a business matter, and said, "General, since you came here today, it's certainly not to rekindle our old friendship. Tell me, what is the purpose of your coming?"
"Are you scared? Are you anxious?" Jiang Shangxin looked at Jiang Zhuliu and said, "It's nothing, I just came here to humiliate you."
Jiang Zhuliu was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. He looked at Jiang Shangxin who was sitting next to him and said, "This way of speaking sounds very familiar. It sounds like someone - let me think who it is."
"Are you talking about Fang Yan?"
"Yes, it's Fang Yan." Jiang Zhuliu smiled and nodded, saying, "His way of speaking is always so simple and direct. He doesn't hide anything and goes straight to the point, stabbing people in the chest. No matter how much time has passed, my heart will ache every time I think of him. I didn't expect that you have learned some of his essence after just a few days of not seeing him."
"That proves that I am quite talented." Jiang Shangxin said with a smile. "Jiang Zhuliu, you are so smart, you must have thought that this day would come, right?"
"What kind of day?" Jiang Zhuliu was not afraid of Jiang Shangxin's threat and said, "I work in the president's office on the top floor of a group building worth tens of billions. I can overlook the whole city from the French window. There is a beautiful secretary at the door who will satisfy all my requests. As long as I need her, she is willing to take off her clothes and kneel in front of me. A word from me can decide the fate of tens of thousands of people, and a glance can make many people unable to sleep at night. Jiang Shangxin, I thought there would be such a day. I just didn't expect it to come so soon."
"So, you didn't hesitate to kill your own father?" Jiang Shangxin said in a cold voice. She no longer regarded this man as a human being, but as a biting dog, a highly aggressive beast.
Jiang Zhuliu had a ferocious expression and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. I really didn't kill my father - it was Fang Yan, your new boyfriend. Don't be fooled by his handsome appearance. He has a vicious heart and methods. As your husband, I still need to remind you to be careful not to be eaten up by him and kicked away, leaving not even a bone left."
"Thank you for your kindness." Jiang Shangxin said. "You are indeed a good and responsible ex-husband."
"Ex-husband?" Jiang Zhuliu smiled and said, "I really don't plan to divorce you. Although you have a new man, I love you so much, how can I bear to let you leave me? Shangxin, do you know? My most precious treasure now is you. No matter what happens, I want to be with you-----"
Jiang Shangxin gently stirred the coffee in the cup with a steel spoon in his hand. After hearing what Jiang Zhuliu said, he giggled, brushed his long hair behind his ears, and said, "Jiang Zhuliu, do you think I came here today just to divorce you and take half of your wealth?"
"This has nothing to do with money. I just can't imagine how I would survive without you----" Jiang Zhuliu said touching words of love, but the look he gave Jiang Shangxin was full of hatred and coldness.
He knew very well that the wife he married was not a good person.
He was not afraid before, on the contrary, he felt that only such a wife would be something he would want to conquer. But as the situation developed, he already felt that it was difficult for him to control her.
Last time I said goodbye at the airport, I bit one of her fingers. Later, she eloped with Fang Yan, proving that she was aware of the situation she would face after going to Paris. Now she came back for revenge.
"If you think so, you underestimate me." Jiang Shangxin said with a smile. "We are husband and wife, and all your assets belong to the common assets of the two of us. Although you don't have many shares in Longtu Group now, you will have some more or less. If you go to jail, won't all these shares fall into my hands? Divorce? How is that possible? Jiang Zhuliu, when you are in crisis, I will never leave you no matter what."
Jiang Shangxin stared at Jiang Zhuliu fiercely, his voice filled with endless hatred, and said, "I will always be by your side, I will take away everything you have, I will leave you with nothing - why do you want a divorce? Even if we divide half of your property after the divorce, you still have the other half. I don't want to wait until you get out of prison and have a lot of money for you to squander. Jiang Zhuliu, I hope you die in prison. Even if you get out, I will make you a beggar on the street - you are a good husband, and I will also work hard to be a good wife. Are you satisfied with this?"
"You are saying this on the premise that I will go to jail. If I don't go to jail, all of this will still be firmly in my hands, and you will still get nothing. You can't even think of taking the dragon map from me."
"It is also my duty to send you to jail." The general said calmly.
"So you have evidence in your hands that can put me in jail?"
"Not bad." Jiang Shangxin said. "I think it's enough."
"If you have evidence, just hand it over to the police station. Why do you have to come and tell me all this?" Jiang Zhuliu's face turned pale. He said, "Besides, I will transfer my assets to my relatives. I will make sure you get everything you want----"
"Your relatives? To whom?" Jiang Shangxin said with disdain, "If you really regard them as your relatives, then don't harm them. If you give the assets to your mother, do you think they will let her go? Your father's death has already dealt her a fatal blow. If you give her your shares, you will be pushing her to a dead end. However, I quite agree with you doing this, because then you will find that not only will you have nothing, but you will not even have a relative in this world---"
"General Shangxin-----" Jiang Zhuliu roared at General Shangxin.
He pressed down Shangxin's palm and said, "Sit down, sit quietly - I've already said, I'm here to humiliate you. The angrier you get, the more relieved I feel. The more relaxed I feel in my heart."
Jiang Zhuliu's eyes were filled with violent blood red, and he stared at Jiang Shangxin with a sinister expression, saying, "You should know that I can make you disappear from this world directly. Tell me, if I push you off this building and say that you jumped down by yourself, will others believe it?" (To be continued)
