Chapter 221 Every Word Hits the Mark
Has he called you even once so far?
Hearing these words, Song Xuejiao’s heart instantly sank to the bottom! Her body even began to tremble slightly beyond her control!
Before this, she truly hadn’t thought about it from this angle! Her mind was completely focused on how to turn things around for the family business, how could she have considered so many other things!
And Su Rui’s words undoubtedly opened Pandora’s box, bringing many dark colors into her life! Making her mood immediately heavy!
Thinking carefully, from several days ago when Tianxiang Group began to face attacks, until now when the stock hit its limit down, Jiang Yibo hadn’t called her even once!
Song Xuejiao’s palms were already ice cold!
Su Rui at this moment wasn’t a negotiation expert, but rather like a skilled swordsman, each thrust aimed at Song Xuejiao’s vital points!
Seeing this beautiful woman trembling slightly, Su Rui gently shook his head.
This society is full of various open and hidden battles, and he wouldn’t forget this point just because the opponent was an attractive beautiful woman. Showing mercy to an enemy is being cruel to oneself.
“Did I hit a nerve?” Su Rui smiled, but his smile, in Song Xuejiao’s eyes, contained very little warmth.
Song Xuejiao knew that if she continued to be attacked by Su Rui like this, then today’s conversation would undoubtedly end in failure.
Quickly adjusting her emotions, Song Xuejiao almost immediately recovered her composure, charmingly brushing back her hair: “Yibo has been abroad, his work is really too busy every day, naturally he wouldn’t pay attention to these small matters.”
“Small matters?” Su Rui sneered: “Miss Song, using this term to describe the situation between Bikang and Tianxiang Group, I wonder if it’s an… insult to yourself?”
“Insult?” Song Xuejiao said unpleasantly: “What do you mean by that?”
Su Rui laughed: “In my view, a wife’s matters are never small matters. I guess Young Master Jiang Yibo must be quite the chauvinist, not caring much about his woman on a daily basis!”
A wife’s matters are never small matters!
When it came to verbal sparring, Song Xuejiao was completely no match for Su Rui, but why, upon hearing Su Rui’s words, did she suddenly feel a slight sense of heartache?
“A woman, supporting everything alone for too long, gets tired too.” Su Rui said: “You want to marry into a wealthy family, but that wealthy family keeps you at arm’s length.”
Su Rui was practically continuing to stab Song Xuejiao’s heart, one knife after another, leaving it bloody.
Song Xuejiao was a typical strong woman, who normally wouldn’t focus on these details, but once Su Rui tore through this paper window, she realized that those daily overlooked minutiae had thoroughly hurt her.
For a normal man in love, if he doesn’t call back for many days, does he still have this woman in his heart?
Song Xuejiao had now completely forgotten about the negotiation, and was immersed in memories of the past.
This enormous family that she had set her heart on marrying into, how much did they not want to accept her?
Song Xuejiao recalled once when she had a car accident, she called Jiang Yibo, and his first reaction wasn’t whether she was injured, but whether the Maserati Quattroporte was damaged.
Song Xuejiao also remembered many times when she called Jiang Yibo, but he always said he was entertaining guests, and hung up after less than a minute.
Song Xuejiao also remembered once when she had a fever of 39.5 degrees, lying alone in her big house in the capital, with no one to take care of her, she texted Jiang Yibo, and he only replied coldly: “It’s not a big deal, drive to the hospital and get it checked.”
Indeed, if these weren’t big deals, what would be?
Song Xuejiao normally didn’t think much about these details, believing that Jiang Yibo was a man who did big things and didn’t need to bother with these matters. She could take care of herself completely.
But looking back now, the taste was quite different.
You want to marry into a wealthy family, but that wealthy family keeps you at arm’s length. Not just his family, but him too.
Savoring Su Rui’s words, Song Xuejiao truly felt an indescribable fatigue suddenly surge in her heart.
Seeing her like this, Su Rui rarely refrained from twisting the knife, revealing such reality to a woman, especially a beautiful woman, was indeed a bit too cruel.
But Su Rui didn’t see her as a woman, just as a slightly prettier competitor.
Song Xuejiao was deep in thought, not even noticing when the waiter brought top-grade red wine.
Slowly sipping the wine in her glass, the typically strong Song Xuejiao showed a hint of confusion between her brows.
She raised her head, looked at Su Rui, and said very seriously: “I think you must have prepared very thoroughly beforehand, just to strike me down? But I admit, you’ve achieved the effect you wanted, I have no mood to negotiate with you now.”
In Song Xuejiao’s view, every word Su Rui said today was like a sharp sword, each one hitting the mark, each one piercing the heart, he must have prepared in advance, collecting a large amount of information about her and Jiang Yibo to achieve such an effect.
With preparation work so much worse than her opponent’s, she admitted she had failed.
Of course, failure was only temporary.
Su Rui shook his head and smiled: “Half of what you said is right, half is wrong.”
“What do you mean?”
“I did indeed want to strike you down, but I didn’t do much preparation beforehand.” Su Rui’s smile was faint, but his eyes revealed unmatched confidence.
“This matter doesn’t warrant much preparation from me, just simple judgment can lead to conclusions.”
Su Rui’s words undoubtedly shocked Song Xuejiao’s heart even more, these knife-like words that cut to the bone were actually spoken casually by him?
From Su Rui’s supremely confident gaze, she truly believed this point!
“Of course, I’m only saying I didn’t specially prepare in this aspect, but for our meeting tonight, to show my sincerity, I do have some special preparations.” Su Rui’s smile was mysteriously unpredictable.
“What things?”
“You’ll know soon.”
Song Xuejiao really didn’t know if she should say this with an expectant heart, although she knew that Su Rui’s so-called “preparation work” would bring her a huge blow, yet she somewhat hoped to see how far this powerful opponent would go.
A strong woman is indeed a strong woman, adjusting emotions so quickly, the low mood from just now had instantly vanished.
Facing an unprecedentedly strong negotiation opponent, Song Xuejiao’s eyes once again burned with fighting spirit.
Unfortunately, she didn’t realize that the stronger her fighting spirit, the more miserable her defeat would be.
Even without the devil-masked strategist by his side giving advice, Su Rui was still that existence whose intelligence and strength simultaneously amazed the Western dark world!
“I’m becoming more and more curious.”
Although her emotions were almost completely disrupted by Su Rui just now, Song Xuejiao still adjusted in an extremely short time with her strong willpower.
Su Rui looked at his watch, staring directly into Song Xuejiao’s eyes, said: “I hope my gift won’t disappoint you.”
However, while saying this, Su Rui sighed lightly in his heart—if you weren’t my competitor, why would I need to be so cruel to you?
The two ate and chatted, both tacitly avoiding the fierce battle between Tianxiang Group and Bikang in their conversation, appearing to others like very familiar friends.
But only they themselves knew what they were really thinking.
At this moment, a man wearing a casual suit with a scantily clad woman walked onto the terrace.
To ensure a high-quality dining environment, there were only a few tables on the terrace, and now only Su Rui and Song Xuejiao sat at a table in the corner, the rest of the tables were empty.
That woman wore an ultra-short skirt that barely reached her thighs, the tight skirt perfectly wrapped around her well-shaped buttocks, just barely reaching the top of her thighs. Su Rui even wondered if she took a slightly bigger step, would it cause exposure?
The upper half of the woman’s body was wearing a simple tube top, revealing half of her peaks and flat abdomen. This outfit would attract attention even on a beach, let alone in a high-end hotel in Ninghai.
Seeing Su Rui staring at that woman, Song Xuejiao coldly smiled: “You men are all the same, can’t take your eyes off sexy women.”
Su Rui shook his head: “Wrong, I think you’re much sexier than that woman, look at her figure, how can it compare to yours?”
Song Xuejiao continued to smile coldly: “Should I thank you for the compliment?”
“I should say you’re welcome.” Su Rui smiled faintly: “But what you said is indeed correct, every man who sees a sexy woman can’t walk away, all fantasizing about having some kind of relationship with them.”
“Your words are so direct, it really surprises me.” Song Xuejiao frowned slightly, as if she didn’t like discussing this kind of topic.
Su Rui gestured with his chin: “Don’t believe what I said? If you don’t believe it, just look at what that man is doing?”
Song Xuejiao looked up, just in time to see that man put his hand under the woman’s ultra-short skirt, grabbing forcefully.
These two hadn’t even reached their seats yet, and were already so open, the woman was weak all over, almost leaning against the man’s body.
Su Rui estimated that if he and Song Xuejiao weren’t here, this man and woman would definitely do something inappropriate for minors. Here with the sea, wine, and beach, it was indeed perfect.
“Do you feel like we’re the third wheels?” Su Rui said softly.
It wasn’t clear whether the man and woman hadn’t seen Su Rui and Song Xuejiao in the corner, or simply didn’t care, their movements were getting bigger and bigger. They hadn’t even reached their seats yet, and the woman’s hands were already around the man’s neck, strongly demanding kisses.
While the man was wildly kissing the woman, both his hands covered her buttocks, the movement and force showing he was also experienced.
Song Xuejiao couldn’t watch anymore, turned her face away, and said softly: “This is really indecent!”
“It’s human nature.” Su Rui squinted his eyes and continued watching the show: “But why do I feel like this man looks somewhat familiar?”
Song Xuejiao instinctively looked up again, also feeling that this man’s figure seemed familiar. As if to confirm her thoughts, the scantily clad woman was already panting and saying: “Brother Yibo, take me right here, okay?”
