Chapter 107 Jiang Lai Unravels Her Heart Knot

Jiang Lai held the porcelain bowl, her nose tingled, and she looked at the man in front of her with teary eyes. Actually, she didn't have a deep affection for Han Tao before.

However, they met at the most desperate and vulnerable moment of her life. The two first had physical intimacy, and then staged a somewhat melodramatic hero-saves-the-damsel scene.

Han Tao's attitude towards her was completely different from that of any other man she had ever met. He avoided her like the plague, which only fueled Jiang Lai's strong desire to conquer him.

At the same time, she also wanted to spite her brother Jiang Haokun. However, when she returned home that day, Jiang Haokun couldn't persuade her otherwise, so in a fit of anger, he showed the video to Jiang Lai.

This caused her views on love to collapse instantly, along with unprecedented humiliation. The daughter of the prestigious Jiang Group, who prided herself on her intelligence, ended up being completely manipulated.

Jiang Lai possessed the pride of the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, so these past two days she had locked herself in her room, refusing to eat or drink, not because she was suicidal, but because she was struggling with how to face the situation.

However, after hearing Han Tao's story, her previous thoughts have changed. It's no longer about getting angry at anyone or because of a hero saving a damsel in distress. She simply feels a strong interest in or even "feeling sorry" for this man.

Han Tao looked at her with a slightly awkward gaze, but he knew that Jiang Lai had finally emerged from her self-imposed isolation.

So he picked up a tissue from the table, walked over and placed it in her hand: "There's no hurdle you can't overcome. Cherish the present moment so you don't have any regrets."

People aren't afraid of making a mistake temporarily; as long as they realize their error and turn back in time, everyone will choose to forgive. A sincere apology can resolve all previous misunderstandings.

"Mmm." Jiang Lai nodded heavily, not bothering to eat slowly with a spoon anymore. She picked up the porcelain bowl, tilted her head back, and drank all the remaining millet porridge. When she put down the empty bowl, most of the gloom in her eyes had dissipated.

"Eat well these next few days, and once I've recovered, I'll go find Jiang Haokun and his aunt and uncle, and calmly apologize to them."

After saying that, Han Tao got up to leave the room. Just as he was about to grasp the doorknob, Jiang Lai's soft voice of thanks came from behind him: "Thank you, Han Tao."

Han Tao didn't respond, gently opened the door and stepped out of the room. In the hallway outside, Jiang Haokun, along with his father and mother who had rushed over, were waiting anxiously.

When the three saw him come out, they immediately surrounded him, their eyes filled with eagerness to ask about the situation inside the room.

Before they could ask, Han Tao spoke up, "She's already had some millet porridge and her emotions have calmed down. Let's give her some time to rest and recover, and then we can have a proper conversation after she opens the door on her own."

Jiang Haokun's heart, which had been hanging in suspense for three days, finally settled down. He bowed deeply with gratitude, saying, "Thank you. My Jiang family will remember your kindness today. In the future, no matter what the matter is, as long as you ask, I, Jiang Haokun, will do my best to help you."

"President Jiang, there's no need for such a grand gesture. I'm not here today because of you." Han Tao waved his hand, his tone indifferent. "I just can't stand seeing her trapped by a fake relationship, wasting her life in a fit of pique. It's not a matter of gratitude. As long as you two brothers don't bother me anymore, that's better than anything else."

Jiang Haokun felt a mix of emotions upon hearing this. He wanted to say a few more polite words, but Han Tao had already turned and walked towards the elevator.

In the shadows, Ye Fan and another person were recording the same things in different cars.

They recorded and archived the conversation at the suite door, as well as the footage, and documented his interactions with the Jiang Group in real time.

Meanwhile, inside the Yiyuan Restaurant on Hongqiao Road in Shanghai, Jiang Nansun, with her long hair flowing and wearing a white dress, looked as pure and charming as a campus goddess against the light.

Sitting opposite her was Zhu Suosuo, whose style was completely different. She wore a smart green blazer with a skirt, looking beautiful, elegant, and exuding a powerful aura.

The two women exuded a powerful aura of female hormones, drawing admiring glances from all the men and envious glances from countless women as they entered the private room.

After the waiter brought the golden crab set meal, Zhu Suosuo peeled the crab shells while looking at Jiang Nansun with a puzzled expression and asked, "Nansun, are you really sure you want to move out? Besides being unreliable in stock trading and a bit inflexible, I feel—"

Uncle Jiang still loves you very much.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nansun put down the small scissors in her hand, looked at her best friend, and replied angrily, "You stinky Suo Suo, whose side are you on?"

I just can't stand his neglect of his duties, and I can't stand his double standards. We both teach at universities in Shanghai, but he praises Professor Han to the skies.

But when he got to Zhang Anren, he said he was too dry and lacked ambition, that being a university lecturer had no future and that he couldn't give him happiness.

But are his so-called social elites necessarily good people? Can being rich guarantee me happiness? So you're not allowed to speak up for him anymore; he's completely lost his mind after investing in stocks!

"Nan Sun, if you think about it from another perspective, Uncle Jiang isn't entirely wrong; he does have good intentions for you too."

Zhu Suosuo looked at Jiang Nansun earnestly. She genuinely hoped her best friend could look at the matter objectively, so she tried to persuade her again: "You're a princess, spoiled since childhood, always having the best of everything. Think about it, can Zhang Anren's circumstances really make you happy?"

Jiang Nansun smiled and replied dismissively, "Suo Suo, really no one loves me more than Zhang Anren. I understand what you're saying, at worst we just won't spend so much money in the future!"

"This isn't about whether you spend money or not; it's about whether you're sure you can give up your current life for Zhang Anren?"

Zhu Suosuo looked at Jiang Nansun helplessly. She was completely defeated by her overly idealistic best friend: "Nansun, I know about your relationship. He always chooses the cafeteria when he eats with you!"

I can't even remember the last time he asked you out to dinner. Do you even remember clearly? Poverty makes life miserable for couples, you know that?

Jiang Nansun ignored Zhu Suosuo's advice and replied arrogantly, "Oh dear, why bring this up again? You've said it so many times this afternoon, it's so annoying!"

Anyway, I can't control all that. As long as Zhang Anren loves me, that's enough. No matter what, I'll always say, "Love makes even water taste sweet, but without love, even a golden house feels cold!"

"I've told you so many times, those are just stories men make up to fool young girls, why won't you listen!" Zhu Suosuo pouted, looking at him with a disappointed expression.

"You just value material things too much!" Jiang Nansun rolled her eyes at Zhu Suosuo. "Zhang Anren isn't being stingy; he's saving money to support me and to pay off our mortgage. You're not allowed to say anything bad about him!"

"Nan Sun, you've really been brainwashed by him, you're too deeply poisoned. Life isn't a fairy tale; you still have to face the realities of daily life!"

Money isn't the most important thing, but it's definitely an indispensable part. Anyway, I've got my eye on Brother Han; he can give me a home of my own!

"Zhu Suosuo, you're so vulgar, beyond redemption!" Jiang Nansun pouted and continued eating the crab on her plate.
