Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Zhuang Ning pursed her lips and did not say anything.
Ye Cheng knew that Zhuang Ning was different from other women. She was independent and strong. In the entertainment industry, she had never tried to curry favor or look for support; she did not show excessive goodwill to anyone. She had gotten to where she was relying on herself. Only she and Xiao Peng knew how difficult the journey had been. It was a blessing that she had met a boss like Cheng Che. However, she had always felt insecure inwardly. Now that she had found an advantage in the business industry, she immediately thought about arming herself.
Ye Cheng understood Zhuang Ning’s inner thoughts very well. Hence, he respected her even more. When she wanted to learn about finance, he spared no effort to help her find teachers and guide her. He was happier than she was when she made progress.
Ye Cheng could always sense a hint of sadness and unyielding determination in Zhuang Ning. It made him feel as though he might lose her if he was not careful or if he did something wrong. He had a feeling that once she left him, he would lose her forever. She was not the type to give anyone a second chance, and that included himself.
Apart from that, Ye Cheng also wondered if something happened between Zhuang Ning and Cheng Che, but he did not dare to ask. He analyzed the matter calmly and thought that if a conflict arose between her and Cheng Che, it would benefit him as well. Knowing Zhuang Ning, she would never look back.
Ye Cheng held Zhuang Ji’s embroidery manual and said tentatively, “Alright, we have a deal. I’ll help you manage it. We’ll sign an agreement. When you terminate your contract with Cheng Che in the future, we’ll reveal your identity publicly. What do you think?”
Zhuang Ning looked at him with her big charming eyes and said, “I believe you.”
Upon hearing these words, Ye Cheng was even more eager to prove that he was sincerely helping her.
In the end, the two of them signed an agreement to open a business under Zhuang Ning’sname. As for his stocks, he did not think much of them. He believed in Zhuang Ning Alas, he did not notice the cold smile on Zhuang Ning’s face.
…
Mu Chen and Cheng Che did not speak when they saw the agreement on the table.
Meanwhile, Song Ning stepped forward and hugged Zhuang Ning. She gently patted Zhuang Ning’s back and asked, “Sister Yang, have you really made up your mind?”
Zhuang Ning did not speak.
Jiahui hesitated for a moment before she said softly, “I feel like this Ye Cheng is sincere to you.”
Zhuang Ning let go of Song Ning before she looked at the agreement on the table and said calmly, “Sincere? Does he even possess a sincere heart to begin with? How much is his sincerity worth?”
“Ye Xin is in prison, and his suicidal mother is imprisoned by both him and his father. Now that the Ye family is no longer in the limelight, he thinks that everything that happened in the past can be erased as though they never happened. I’m afraid he has long forgotten about the dead Yang Li. If I really died at that time, I’d be a pile of forgotten bones buried in the dirt. Am I supposed to be moved by this worthless bit of his sincerity?”
Jiahui quickly held Zhuang Ning’s hand and said, “Zhuang Ning, I don’t have any intentions when I said those words. Currently, Ye Cheng has relationships with three women. In my opinion, he’s only using the other two, but he’s sincere to you.”
Zhuang Ning nodded before she said with a scoff, “Ye Cheng is a mercenary businessman, to begin with. Guan Tang and Yin Jia can’t satisfy his needs. He uses them because they’re dead set on him. Not only is he using them, but he still wants to seek warmth from me. He really doesn’t have a heart!”
