Chapter 104: A Misunderstanding

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Jiang Mingxu took another step forward and closed in on Song Wei. He stared into her eyes. “Are you trying to win my bet so that you can return to the Song Group and fly away from me?”

Song Wei saw the hurt in Jiang Mingxu’s eyes and felt her heart tighten for no reason. “I just…”

Actually, from the beginning, she only hoped to win the bet and take back what belonged to her.

Perhaps she used to want to escape from Jiang Mingxu’s evil clutches, but after going through so many things, she had completely let go of this thought.

Seeing that she could not answer, Jiang Mingxu smiled coldly with a hint of self-mockery.

“If you really want to leave that badly, you don’t have to waste so much effort. Just tell me.”

The light in his eyes was extinguished bit by bit. In the end, his eyes were as deep as pitch-black water. “I made this bet just to keep you by my side after all. But now, it seems like… this was just my own wishful thinking.”

After saying this, he got up and prepared to leave.

Song Wei’s mind was a little chaotic as she frantically pulled on his hand. “I never said that I was leaving. Don’t you accuse me unjustly. The entire reason why I want to beat you so badly is that I feel that the Song Group and PARADISES both have my blood, sweat, and tears. I just want to rely on my own strength to seize them back…”

Jiang Mingxu’s body moved slightly, and he stopped in his tracks. He turned around and looked at Song Wei. “You stayed with me because I could help you consolidate your position and help you take back the Song Group?”

Song Wei shook her head again and held onto Jiang Mingxu’s hand tightly like before. Many thoughts were running through her mind. “No, that’s not it. I will stay because…”

“Because of what?”

Song Wei paused. Fang Can’s words suddenly echoed in her ears. In her panic, she changed the topic. “Then, you tell me first. Why did you marry me?”

Jiang Mingxu was stunned for a moment as if he did not expect her to ask this question all of a sudden.

However, Song Wei’s eyes were burning with determination. “Why did you have to marry me? The Song Group is clearly an arrow at the end of its flight. You clearly still have to expend a lot of financial resources and energy to fill the Song Group’s void. Why would you choose to marry me?”

“…”

“Is it because of that woman called Fang Can?” Speaking up to this point, Song Wei felt a sharp pain stab her heart.

If this man’s love for her originated from another woman, she was afraid that it would really hurt as much as being stabbed in the heart by someone… as though the blade had even been twisted a few times.

Her strong self-esteem made her hold back until this moment… before she actually managed to ask about it. However, when she truly asked the question, she was also a little afraid to hear the answer again.

Jiang Mingxu’s glabella furrowed when he heard her words. “You know Fang Can?”

Song Wei smiled bitterly. “She was the one who picked up my call to you towards the evening. She even sent me a photo of herself. I know that the two of us are too similar in appearance. Are you looking for her shadow in me?”

Jiang Mingxu reached out and gently cupped Song Wei’s face. “So, this is the reason for the resistance in your eyes and why you avoided me just now?”

Song Wei subconsciously twisted her head away again. “I… will never be someone else’s substitute. If you give me a definite answer, I can move out of the Jiang residence immediately.”

However, Jiang Mingxu’s hand would not let her go. He straightened her head to make her look into his eyes. “What else happened today? Fang Can deleted my call log. Did you ask me for help?”

Song Wei nodded. “I felt that it was useless to call the police against the Zhou family, so I sent you a message. It was only after I sent the message that I remembered that the phone was in her hand.”

Jiang Mingxu retracted his hand gradually. His fingers slowly clenched into a fist. “I will make her kneel in front of you and apologize.”

Song Wei looked at him with surprise all over her face. “Isn’t she your first love?”

However, Jiang Mingxu had an impassive expression. “It was a misunderstanding.”

“What do you mean by a misunderstanding?” Song Wei saw a rare show of Jiang Mingxu’s evasiveness of an issue and continued questioning him closely.
