The lady is pregnant! Third Master, please restrain yourself after the marriage.

Even though Wen Jizong had been a seasoned businessman for over twenty years, he was still taken aback by Jiang Nan's gaze.

He was briefly taken aback, then snapped angrily, "You still want to ask me? You know perfectly well what happened yesterday!"

"Your repeated attempts to annul the engagement not only trample on my good intentions but also challenge the authority of the Xiao family!"

Looking at Wen Jizong's furious face, Jiang Nan understood perfectly.

It really is about announcing the engagement.

Jiang Nan felt a burning pain in her cheeks, but she was oblivious to it, only feeling a sharp pain in her chest.

The pain was so intense that she became resolute and numb.

She gave a very faint smile, "This is the first time in fourteen years that my uncle has hit me."

His voice was low, and a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

Despite hearing the secret that her uncle wanted to kill her.

But a fourteen-year relationship cannot be completely severed overnight.

This slap felt real, completely shattering the kindness and gratitude accumulated over the past decade.

Wen Jizong was startled by that look.

A fleeting moment of panic.

Upon seeing Jiang Nan's swollen face, his anger subsided considerably.

"Your uncle just wants to find you a good marriage. You've been so willful lately, and I even let you come to work at the company. What else are you complaining about? Are you going to break off the engagement again?"

"When Xiao Ziqian saw the men's watch I bought, he thought I was having an affair. With such a lack of trust, I don't think we should continue the engagement."

Jiang Nan slightly raised his chin, his eyes revealing a cool and resolute expression.

Wen Jizong's anger flared up again. "Whatever misunderstanding there is, can't it be cleared up? Does it have to come to the point of annulment?"

"You even physically assaulted someone in public, slapping Wen Wan twice! Jiang Nan, where have all the manners I've taught you gone?!"

"How is she any different from a shrew now?"

Jiang Nan's heart remained calm and indifferent. "That's perfect. Wouldn't it be better to let Wen Wan marry Xiao Ziqian?"

"Anyway, my surname is Jiang, not Wen."

A sharp glint flashed in Jiang Nan's eyes. "If we're talking about a marriage alliance between the Wen and Xiao families, since I'm not a member of the Wen family, it's not my place to be involved, given that I'm surnamed Jiang."

"Do you even know what you're saying! All these years, is this what you've been thinking?" Wen Jizong was furious.

This only made Jiang Nan seem even more indifferent.

"Xiao Ziqian himself said he wouldn't call off the engagement, so I just let him have his way."

After saying that, she left the chairman's office.

Behind them, Wen Jizong's furious voice could still be heard.

Jiang Nan ignored it.

It's none of her business if she gets so angry.

Wen Jizong manages the Wen and Jiang groups, and he rarely comes here.

The reason I came here today is clearly because I'm afraid she'll call off the engagement, and that plan will fall through.

Speaking of that will...

Jiang Nan felt that after what happened today, the Wen family would probably find an opportunity to deal with her at any time.

We need to figure out a way to get that will and persuade the lawyer to change his mind!

Jiang Nan returned to the office with a red and swollen face.

This startled Chen Lin.

"You got hit?"

Chen Lin followed Jiang Nan in, her eyes filled with surprise and concern.

Jiang Nan could tell that she didn't mean to mock him, so he nodded.

The other person gasped.

He immediately went out and brought back an ice pack.

"Quickly apply a cold compress, so those gossipy people don't see it. We still need to give President Mo a gift later."

Chen Lin glanced at her, "Why don't I take it? You don't need to go."

Mr. Mo is an important investor in the company.

We've been working together since my father was alive, and we need to maintain this relationship.

"Go ahead, it's a minor issue. Just apply a cold compress to reduce the swelling, and then touch up your makeup to cover it up."

Jiang Nan's expression was calm as she placed an ice pack on her cheek for a cooling effect.

Her resilient and beautiful appearance greatly inspired Chen Lin.

If anyone were to say that Jiang Nan was a nepotism case, a pretty face who got in through connections, she would be the first to disagree.

Noon.

Jiang Nan and Chen Lin walked out of the company together.

They chatted and laughed while waiting for the elevator.

When the elevator doors opened and Jiang Nan saw the tall, gentle figure inside, her gaze froze.

Why doesn't he take the president's private elevator?

"Premier Wen."

Chen Lin stepped in first, and after respectfully greeting everyone, she noticed that Jiang Nan hadn't come in.

"Director Jiang, did you leave something behind?"

Jiang Nan really wanted to say that.

However, it was peak time for elevator use, and she didn't want to waste time.

"Not coming in?"

Wen Jisi's voice was gentle, and his beautiful, tender eyes met hers.

In the blink of an eye.

My heart felt like it had been scalded by something, and it clenched painfully.

"I'll go in."

Jiang Nan quickly looked away, stepped inside, and stood at the very edge of Chen Lin's room with his back to him.

Wen Jisi stood slightly behind her, his gentle gaze fixed on her slender back.

He has an upright posture and a cool and aloof demeanor.

Especially his gaze just now, it was full of indifference.

Wen Jisi pursed his thin lips, his brow furrowing almost imperceptibly.

Jiang Nan ignored the feeling of being watched; it was best if her relationship with the Wen family remained unexposed.

Wen Jizong clearly didn't want to reveal her identity.

Otherwise, the entire company wouldn't all believe that she got in through connections or had a powerful backer.

It was confirmed that R&D manager Lin Zhengming was one of the people who arranged for her to be made difficult.

The elevator coming down from the upper floors is much slower during peak hours, and quite a few people squeeze in.

Jiang Nan, who was in the far corner, was actually pushed in front of Wen Jisi.

It was so crowded that she almost lost her balance.

Suddenly, a heavy weight fell on my shoulders. "Watch out."

Wen Jisi's gentle voice rang out from above her head, and the warmth of his hands burned the skin on her shoulders.

"Thank you." Jiang Nan's heart was pounding, and she tried to move closer to Chen Lin.

It turned out to be futile.

It's too crowded to squeeze through.

Wen Jisi sensed her aloofness, his eyes darkened, and he slowly withdrew his hand from her shoulder.

Jiang Nan remained with his back to him, his spine stiff.

Even without turning around, one can imagine how tender and loving his gaze is.

Never before has it felt as long as it has now.

So when the elevator arrives at the first floor.

As soon as the door opened, Jiang Nan couldn't wait to follow the flow of people out and quickly left with Chen Lin.

Wen Jisi came out of the elevator, wanting to ask her what happened to her face, but she had disappeared.

"What happened in the R&D department today? Who did Director Jiang meet?" Wen Jisi asked his assistant.

"Let me check."

The assistant immediately nodded.

He was the only person in the entire company, besides the two people directly involved, who knew Jiang Nan's identity.

Jiang Nan drove Chen Lin to the restaurant.

On the way, Chen Lin exclaimed that the car was incredibly cool and took selfies the whole time.

Jiang Nanbi arrived ten minutes early, just as agreed.

The private seating area on the second floor of the restaurant's main hall.

Xiao Beixun, dressed in a dark suit, glanced downstairs with a languid expression.

Jiang Nan was walking towards the private room when a graceful figure came into his view.

Her professional business attire accentuated her capable and sophisticated demeanor.

Although they were some distance apart and the red marks on Jiang Nan's face were faint, they still caught his eye.

His thick eyebrows furrowed slightly, and something flashed in his eyes.

Inside the private room.

Mr. Mo was very satisfied with the gift prepared by Jiang Nan.

The two got along very well.

Mr. Mo greatly admired her insights into the pharmaceutical market and her understanding of pharmaceuticals.

"Miss Jiang, you remind me of a friend."

Mr. Mo chuckled, "Speaking of which, you even share the same surname."

Jiang Nan asked astutely, "May I ask if I have the honor of knowing Mr. Mo's friend's name?"

"Jiang Tiankuo".

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nan suddenly opened her eyes wide.

It really is...

Lost in thought, the door to the private room was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

A man in a suit stormed in, grabbed Mr. Mo by the collar, and punched him angrily.

"So her man is you, you old geezer! You dare to steal my woman!"

Jiang Nan snapped out of her daze and, seeing the scene before her, was so shocked that she rushed over to pull the person away.
