Jiang Siyong’s smile seemed to get stiff. “We…we have never met before.”
“Oh, okay.” Tan Mo replied, “Because I don’t remember meeting you.”
Jiang Siyong’s expression stiffened a little bit more.
They had only run into each other one time as they were getting off the elevators.
But how could she possibly not remember him? Was he so inconspicuous?
He thought he had a good-looking face.
He had always been voted top among the most handsome heirs. Girls always idolized him because he was good-looking and wealthy.
Normally, all the women around him wanted to be with him, whether movie stars or internet celebrities or those he met at work, even if they only had a glance at him…
The next time they’d meet, those women would always pretend that they’d met before.
And he was always the one who didn’t remember meeting them. No one had ever forgotten about him before…
Although Jiang Siyong found this annoying, considering Tan Mo’s beauty he was willing to act a little more gentlemanly and not hold a grudge against her for forgetting him.
He has had many girlfriends and is very experienced around women. He could tell that Tan Mo wasn’t like that. She probably had never even held a boy’s hand before.
Her face, her eyes, and everything else about her were so clean and innocent.
She was beautiful and obviously untouched, and he definitely wanted to be her first.
Just thinking about it made Jiang Siyong excited.
Just based on the experience he had and Tan Mo’s lack of experience…he figured Tan Mo would fall for him easily.
He has had a lot of girlfriends, but none were as beautiful as Tan Mo.
Jiang Siyong smiled gently and apologized graciously. “I apologize for that. My name is Jiang Siyong. Don’t worry, I am not a bad person. You must have heard of the Jiang Gao Corporation? That is my family business, and I am the vice president.”
Jiang Siyong didn’t go into more details. If he said too much, it would seem like he was bragging.
Of course, he did want to mention his status so Tan Mo would know that he was a serious dude.
And If Tan Mo wanted to know more about him, she could easily search for more information.
He is the only heir in the Jiang family, so Jiang Gao Corporation will be his no matter what.
It would be better for her to find out that information herself. It would make her more surprised and appreciative of his achievements.
But to his surprise, Tan Mo had no reaction to what he said. Not only her, but Qin Muye and Ming Yeqing also had no reaction to what he’d said.
The three of them have been to many big events, and they’ve met a lot of more impressive hot-shots.
The Jiang family and the Tan family had just engaged in an argument the previous Friday.
Even if they had had no argument…
Even if Jiang Jiamao stood in front of them right now, their expressions wouldn’t have changed.
They were used to being around people from the eight most powerful families. They wouldn’t even be impressed by Jiang Jiamao, not to mention a second-generation heir like Jiang Siyong.
Qin Muye was rolling her eyes to herself.
Was something wrong with Jiang Siyong’s brain?
Last Friday he had been extremely rude to the Tan family and almost ruined Tan Mo’s birthday party. Not only that, but he had successfully gotten on the bad side of everyone in the Tan family.
And now he wants to go after Tan Mo?
Qin Muye worried a bit for the future of the Jiang Gao Corporation.
She wanted to ask Jiang Jiamao whether if he handed the corporation to Jiang Siyong…would their company collapse?
They had no reaction at all, and Tan Mo didn’t even say a word.
Not to mention none of them had any look of surprise, astonishment, or an air of having been impressed by him.
Jiang Siyong didn’t like this feeling, but he continued, “On your birthday last Friday, we met at the hotel resort. I saw you as I walked out of the elevator. But we were in a hurry, so that is probably why you don’t remember me.”
As he said that, Jiang Siyong took out a bouquet of flowers and handed it to Tan Mo. “But I remember you, and I remember you well. After seeing you that one time, I couldn’t forget about you ever again.
“And it happened to be your birthday, so I knew who you were. When I saw you at the elevator, I was just thinking…you look even better in person than on television. That’s why I couldn’t recognize you at first glance.” Jiang Siyong smiled.
After he said something like that, girls should smile shyly, right?
He just said that she was good-looking.
But Tan Mo had no reaction at all.
So is she the cold type of beauty?
However, based on her appearance, she looks like the sweet-girl type. She doesn’t look cold at all.
Good, Tan Mo had just successfully caught his attention.
He was going to take her down! She was probably just pretending to be nonchalant, in order to make him more interested in her.
Just wait.
The colder she is right now, after he takes her down…the more sweet and attached she will be.
He could already imagine having her in his arms.
Tan Mo and her friends had no reaction.
But the students around them heard what he said, and they were astonished.
They’d all heard of the Jiang Gao Corporation.
They recognized him immediately.
Jiang Siyong is the only heir to the corporation, and, as well as his good looks, he was quite well known.
They didn’t all recognize him at first glance, but after hearing what Jiang Siyong said, they recognized him immediately. Some people even took out their phones to search for him right then and there.
Some people that had never noticed him before or those who didn’t know who he was…now they knew.
They could see his pictures online.
“It really is the heir to the Jiang Gao Corporation.”
“He is asking Tan Mo out?”
“That’s Tan Mo? She’s kinda pretty.”
“Sure, it’s good to have a nice face. A rich boy will ask her out,” someone said sourly.
Someone said, “Tan Mo is also quite wealthy herself. Her family isn’t any worse than the Jiang Gao Corporation, so she doesn’t need to care about that.”
Hearing the chatter going on around them, Jiang Siyong felt some confidence again. He smiled.
From the outside, he still had that gentlemanly smile. He said, “I knew who you were, so I figured that you were studying at Beijing University. I wasn’t sure of your class schedule and didn’t know when you would be finished with class, so I’ve been waiting here since 3:00 in the afternoon.
“Good thing I found you.” Jiang Siyong sighed with relief and smiled once again. “That means that we were meant to meet here today. Tan Mo, this is the second time we’ve met. I can’t hope for you to choose to be my girlfriend now, but I hope that you will give me a chance to impress you.
“I like you,” Jiang Siyong said.
It was already 6:00 at night, so that meant he had waited for about three hours.
The students around them were all chattering and were obviously impressed with his patience.
He’d waited an entire three hours just to meet her.
“What if Tan Mo didn’t come out?”
“That’s right. What if Tan Mo had gone to the dining hall and hadn’t come out for the night. Then he would’ve waited for nothing.”
“When you are trying to ask a girl out, you need to have some patience.”
“But if he was unsure whether or not Tan Mo would be here at this time and waited for three hours regardless, that is definitely rare.”
“There are other guys who want to ask Tan Mo out. But now that Jiang Siyong is here…they don’t look so competitive anymore.”
Tan Mo looked at him with surprise.
Jiang Siyong still had that smile on his face, but to himself he was bragging. Obviously, Tan Mo was impressed with his patience and was touched by what he had done for her.
