Chapter 112 You Are Not the Most Suitable Person
Jiang Zhi's heart tightened, she knew this might not be a simple meeting.
She took a deep breath and replied, "Okay, you decide the time and place."
"Tomorrow afternoon at three, at a cafe in the city center."
Jiang Zhi nodded. Although she had no idea what was about to happen, she decided to face it. She put her phone back in her bag and turned to look at Shang Yanjing. He was driving intently, with no emotion on his face.
"Shang Yanjing, your mother said she wanted to see me." She did not hide it.
He spoke directly.
Shang Yanjing's hand trembled slightly and he gripped the steering wheel tightly. He turned his head and looked at Jiang Zhi with a complicated look.
"What does she want from you?"
"I don't know, she just said she wanted to meet up."
Shang Yanjing was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay, I'll go with you."
This answer instantly calmed Jiang Zhi's heart, "She..."
"I'm here, and I won't let her hit you."
beat?
She leaned back in her seat, these words made her even more confused.
She had thought she was prepared for the complexity of Shang Yanjing's family relationships, but at this moment, she realized that her imagination was still too simple.
"Are you really sure you want to step into this vortex?" she couldn't help but ask herself.
These words were like a stone thrown into her originally calm lake, stirring up waves.
She recalled every interaction with Shang Yanjing. Every look and every movement of his seemed to be telling the secrets and entanglements behind the family.
She understood that once she stepped into this complicated world, she might lose a lot, including her principles and bottom line.
The next afternoon, Jiang Zhi and Shang Yanjing appeared at the agreed cafe on time.
Shang Yanjing's mother was already waiting there. She was wearing an elegant suit, and her every move exuded an unspoken majesty.
"Miss Jiang." Shang Yanjing's mother stood up and extended her hand to Jiang Zhi.
Jiang Zhi gently held Shang Yanjing's mother's hand. Feeling the coldness of her fingertips, her heart tightened.
Although it’s not a meeting with the parents.
But I don't know why she was so nervous.
Shang Yanjing stood beside Jiang Zhi with a firm look, as if silently telling her that no matter what happened, he would be by her side.
"Please sit down." Shang Yanjing's mother gestured for them to sit down. Her voice was calm and polite, but Jiang Zhi could sense the sharpness hidden in it.
"Thank you." After sitting down, Jiang Zhi looked directly at Shang Yanjing's mother. She was not afraid of the woman's eyes at this moment.
"Yan Jing, my medicine for today is still in the car. Can you go get it for me?"
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was an attempt to get Shang Yanjing away.
"Don't worry, I won't eat her. Besides, it takes a while to get the medicine, what can I say? The car is just across the street. If you hurry, you can be back in three minutes."
Shang Yanjing's eyes sank slightly.
"Are you planning to watch me recover? If I scare Miss Jiang, I won't care." Her tone was exceptionally gentle, but her eyes were sharp. "I don't think Miss Jiang will be frightened."
As soon as I looked up, my eyes met hers.
"Go ahead." If she didn't speak up in this kind of situation.
It is hard to explain.
"Miss Jiang is such a sensible person," the woman exclaimed.
"I'll be back soon." Shang Yanjing said in a low voice, and then he walked away.
The cafe was sparsely populated.
It seemed like she had booked the place for a long time.
"Let me get straight to the point, Miss Jiang. I heard that you and Yan Jing are very close. Is that true?"
Shang Yanjing's mother went straight to the point without any beating around the bush.
"Mr. Shang and I have no other relationship except a partnership." She was afraid that she hadn't explained it in detail enough, so she explained, "Mr. Shang's company's work clothes..."
"Miss Jiang, haven't you heard that explanation is a cover-up, and cover-up is the truth?"
"........."
"The way you looked just now, it seems that's the case."
"..."
"Besides, I'm not blind. I just saw the way he looked at you. It's more than just a partnership."
"........."
Jiang Zhi was suddenly choked and couldn't utter a word.
Shang Yanjing's mother smiled slightly, but there was not much warmth in that smile. "Yanjing is the heir of our family. His marriage is not only related to himself, but also to the interests of the entire family."
Jiang Zhi's heartbeat quickened. She had a feeling that the following conversation would not be easy. "You worry too much. I don't have any thoughts about him."
"You said this, do you believe it?"
"........."
"If you like someone, you can't hide it."
"I like him, but don't worry, I won't be with him."
Shang Yanjing's mother tapped the table lightly, as if thinking about something. "Ms. Jiang, you see clearly. It is indeed impossible for you to have a role in Yanjing's future."
Jiang Zhi took a deep breath and said, "In that case, I think there is no need for us to talk anymore."
Shang Yanjing's mother was silent for a moment. "Emotions are fickle, Miss Jiang. Any woman would fall in love with a man like Yanjing. I don't care whether what you said is true or a lie, but I hope you understand that you shouldn't let a momentary impulse affect Yanjing's future."
At this moment, the air in the cafe seemed to freeze.
Suddenly, Jiang Zhi saw the blue veins exposed on her wrist.
"Are you feeling unwell?"
The woman pressed down on the table all of a sudden, and when she looked up, her eyes were filled with enough repression.
When Jiang Zhi looked at her, his heart skipped a beat.
Judging from her sleeping behavior, Jiang Zhi's eyes darkened.
It's mania.
When she was in the hospital before, she had seen the girl in the bed next to her. That was the case.
Shang Yanjing's mother was slightly startled, then quickly regained her composure. "Nothing, just some discomfort caused by the weather change."
Her voice was still calm, but Jiang Zhi could sense the reluctance in her tone.
"If you need, I can call a doctor for you." Jiang Zhi said with concern. Although she was wary of Shang Yanjing's mother, she didn't want her to be unwell.
"No need, Miss Jiang, let's stop here today." Shang Yanjing's mother waved her hand gently, motioning Jiang Zhi to sit down.
Jiang Zhi nodded and sat back in his seat.
"Ms. Jiang, I understand your feelings for Yan Jing, but as a mother, I must consider his future. I hope you can understand that Yan Jing's marriage must be beneficial to the family, and you may not be the right person."
An inexplicable sadness welled up in Jiang Zhi's heart. She knew that Shang Yanjing's mother was telling the truth. "Don't worry, I will never choose him."
