Chapter 1298: 1297 confronts him

“Why were you injured?” Tan Rou asked.

“He blamed me for all the expenses and wanted me to come up with the money,” Jiang Min revealed a pale smile, “I refused, and he lost his temper. He started to scold me, saying that my friends were all villains spending his money wantonly. When I retorted, he cut me with a knife and even threatened to kill me.”

Tan Rou apologized, “Senior Jiang, I’m sorry, the dishes we ordered yesterday were indeed intentional. If we had known it would cause you harm, we definitely wouldn’t have ordered such expensive food.”

Jiang Min shook her head again and said, “It’s not your fault. If it weren’t for that meal you ordered, I wouldn’t have realized Feng Jiao’s true nature. A person who is unwilling to even pay for a meal, how could he ever come up with so much money to help our Jiang family?”

Zhuang Liu, who had been watching silently, spoke up, “Have you finally understood this principle? Feng Jiao is a selfish person, only caring about his own pleasure, never about the life or death of others. You say that after marrying him, Feng Family would provide assistance to Jiang Family, but do you think Feng Jiao would actually help you?”

Jiang Min spoke with a lack of strength, “I used to bet on this possibility, but now I see clearly that he won’t help me, so I must break off the engagement with Feng Family.”

“Why not try cooperating with our Zhuang family?” Zhuang Liu offered a lifeline to Jiang Min, “I have several projects that would be suitable for collaboration with the Jiang family. I didn’t approach you before because we had never collaborated, but since you are out of options now, why not give my path a try?”

Jiang Min was so shocked that she couldn’t speak for a long time. She had heard about the Zhuang family’s projects from Tan Rou, but after all, that was Zhuang Liu’s business. She wasn’t very familiar with Zhuang Liu, so she wasn’t certain whether the project could fall into her hands, nor could she guarantee that she would be successful with Zhuang family’s projects, so she politely declined Tan Rou’s good intentions.

Now that Zhuang Liu was proactively proposing a collaboration, Jiang Min didn’t know what to say in an instant.

Jiang Min was very clear about Zhuang Liu’s personality. He used to have a terrible temper, unpredictable in his emotions. After the recovery of his legs, he had become somewhat kinder, but it seemed impossible for him to be so amiable as to seek collaboration with others on his own initiative. She was not Tan Rou; why would Zhuang Liu help her?

To be precise, this was beyond being kind. It was charity!

“Mr. Zhuang, this… I…” Jiang Min was so moved that she couldn’t articulate a complete sentence.

Zhuang Liu generously said, “I have quite a few small projects that are suitable for collaboration with the Jiang family. Those projects are not crucial to me, which is why I’ve been dragging my feet on approval. If you’re interested, I can pick the two most suitable projects for you to choose from.”

Jiang Min said awkwardly, “No, no, no, it’s fine for you to choose.”

Zhuang Liu smiled, “Don’t mention it, you are Tan Rou’s friend, which makes you my friend. Since Tan Rou believes we should help you, I cannot just stand by and watch.”

Jiang Min turned to Tan Rou and said uncomfortably, “Tan Rou, thank you.”

“It’s nothing,” Tan Rou was somewhat distracted, “Senior Jiang, I remember you saying that Dongda Real Estate is one of the top real estate companies in the country. Right now, the situation is tense. The real estate industry has so much developmental interest to offer – if they gain more, you gain less. So, why shouldn’t the person gaining more be you?”

Jiang Min was stunned; she had always thought of leaning on Feng Family to support Jiang Family, never considering replacing Feng Family’s position. She felt that Dongda Real Estate was too powerful, and Jiang Family couldn’t shake them.

But now the situation was different. Behind her, she had the support of two powerful allies – as long as she could achieve something significant, neither Zhuang family nor Tao family would easily give up on her or make things difficult. She was free to pursue the next steps.

“Right, you’re absolutely correct!” Jiang Min’s tone turned very resolute, “Why can’t our Jiang Family replace Feng Family’s position? Feng Family has been thriving in the real estate industry for so many years, it’s time for them to make room and allow others to take that prestigious seat!”

Tan Rou smiled and said, “Senior Jiang, I support you. Once you recover, go ahead and put your plans into action!”
