Chapter 023:
“Do you have something to discuss with me, Miss Jiang?” Chen Lang asked.
Jiang Mengyao closed the door to the private room and walked slowly toward Chen Lang.
“Miss Jiang doesn’t sound very nice, you can call me Mengyao, or Yaoyao,” Jiang Mengyao suggested.
“Mengyao? Yaoyao? Come on, you’re the cold and ruthless underground queen! Does that name suit your character? You’re the female lead, I’m the VILLAIN , why do you have drama to the villian?!” Chen Lang complained inwardly.
Jiang Mengyao slowly sat down beside Chen Lang.
“Besides, can’t I just chat with Chen a bit when there’s nothing else to do?” Jiang Mengyao ignored his reaction and continued, “I’ve been quite interested in perfumes lately. There are two new perfumes I’d like to share with you.”
Her tone sounded like casual conversation between close friends.
Chen Lang remained unmoved and prepared to see what she was up to.
Jiang Mengyao picked up a bottle of perfume from the table, sprayed it on her wrist, and then placed her wrist near Chen Lang’s nose.
Chen Lang closed his eyes and sniffed lightly.
“What comes to mind?”
“Nature, wilderness, mountains, rivers, butterflies dancing, gentle breeze…”
Jiang Mengyao nodded in approval. After the scent faded, she picked up another perfume bottle, sprayed it on her other wrist, and presented it to Chen Lang.
“What about this one?”
“This one has a slightly sweeter, more mysterious, tranquil feeling, like an ambiguous night.” Chen Lang described.
Jiang Mengyao praised him, “Impressive. Your feelings perfectly match the essence of these two perfumes!”
“Well, actually, I just made it up,” Chen Lang admitted.
“It’s okay, from now on, these two perfumes will be called ‘Gentle Breeze’ and ‘Dark Night’!” Jiang Mengyao decided.
“Miss Jiang asked me here just to talk about these two perfumes?” Chen Lang asked.
“No,” Jiang Mengyao moved her chair closer to Chen Lang’s wheelchair, her expression turning serious. “There’s actually something else! I want to start a company that specializes in perfumes, lipstick, skincare, and other beauty products.”
“Alright, I wish your company success!” Chen Lang replied.
“I’m not finished… This company, I want to give you half of the shares!” Jiang Mengyao revealed.
???
“Can I refuse?”
Chen Lang was surprised.
Was this for real?
Shares for free?
But seeing the hint of worry in Jiang Mengyao’s eyes, Chen Lang quickly understood what was going on.
“Mengyao is telling the truth, the Jiang family… is currently in trouble,” Jiang Mengyao continued. “As you know, when the Jiang family was just emerging, they were involved in some shady deals. After Grandfather passed away, there have been rumors circulating that authorities were going after the Jiang family!”
“And you, you’re the one who can save the Jiang family!”
“As long as you accept half of the shares, with the Chen family’s identity, the Jiang family’s business will be safe!”
Chen Lang suddenly felt tired!
Why didn’t she tell this to the protagonist? Why tell him?
In the novel, it was the protagonist Ye Chen who later became the protector of the Jiang family and helped Jiang Mengyao’s company make a fortune through some formula or something. But that was later in the plot. But one thing was for sure, the Chen family definitely shouldn’t get involved, otherwise what was the purpose of the protagonist?
“Um, this isn’t very appropriate. If I just take your company’s shares for free and we start a company together, Mingyue will definitely be angry,” Chen Lang immediately brought up Xiao Mingyue as a shield.
After all, it was widely known that he was Xiao Mingyue’s licking dog in the Nanjiang City.
“What’s the difference between me and Xiao Mingyue?” Jiang Mengyao leaned closer to Chen Lang’s face and her tone became seductive. “Once you take the Jiang family’s shares, as long as you pursue me even a little seriously, I’ll become your girlfriend. This means the entire Jiang family will be yours for free!”
Seeing Chen Lang’s expression about refusing again, Jiang Mengyao hurriedly said, “Okay, okay, you don’t have to pursue me, as long as you take the shares, both the Jiang family and I will be yours!”
???
“Do you want me to pursue you instead? I’m a girl after all…” Jiang Mengyao’s eyes grew moist, and a blush appeared on her cheeks as well.
Chen Lang felt a bit overwhelmed.
What was happening?
The novel never revealed this side of Jiang Mengyao! She was supposed to be the domineering and aloof queen! Was she trying to destroy the protagonist’s aura today?
Seeing Jiang Mengyao about to act coquettishly again, Chen Lang quickly said, “Mengyao, you’re a good girl! I’ve always treated you like a sister.”
Jiang Mengyao: “Oh? I see you enjoy this kind of play. Okay, Brother Chen~”
“…”
Chen Lang: “No… You’re so amazing, you’ll definitely meet someone better!”
Jiang Mengyao: “That’s why I met you! Handsome, charming, and wealthy!”
“…”
Chen Lang: “Mengyao, I don’t want to tarnish our pure friendship!”
Jiang Mengyao: “Then let’s upgrade it to pure love!”
“…”
Chen Lang gazed into the distance, looking thoughtful. “Actually, there’s always been someone in my heart. She’s my moonlight…”
“She’s like a rainbow, bringing color to my world! Making me feel the splendor of this world!”
Hearing his words, Jiang Mengyao chuckled inwardly.
This Chen Lang was a great actor! If she hadn’t read his diary, she would’ve thought he was really infatuated with Xiao Mingyue! But his diary had already explained it! He didn’t really like Xiao Mingyue, he was just doing it to fulfill some plot!
Jiang Mengyao smiled, “Xiao Mingyue can’t, only I, Jiang Mengyao, can bring you colorful experiences!”
“Mengyao, you don’t understand. Do you even know what I mean by a colorful experience?”
“Then you should at least understand what I mean by a colorful experience!!”
Jiang Mengyao suddenly clapped her hands. “Come in!”
Then the door to the private room opened, and a group of stunning beauties rushed in, overwhelming Chen Lang with a flurry of colors!
Was this what she called a colorful experience???
