Chapter Twenty I Don't Believe You

  Jiang Xue'er returned home and locked herself in her room. She thought back to the times she spent with Ruan Lingfeng: from the beginning, she had been working multiple jobs to pay for school fees because of her family's poverty, until they met by chance, and later became Ruan Lingfeng's exclusive servant. Ruan Lingfeng had tormented her repeatedly, but she eventually became his girlfriend, perhaps due to Lin Hao's provocation, as Ruan Lingfeng refused to admit defeat.

  Jiang Xue'er held the file bag given to her by Qiao Anna and opened it, revealing photos inside. Her hands trembled nonstop, and tears flowed down her face, dripping onto the photos one by one. How could she still believe that Lingfeng, who had always loved and cared for her, was involved with another woman? Seeing the intimate photos, she couldn't hold back her sobs anymore.

  After a while, Jiang Xue'er's phone rang. It was her mother calling. Jiang Xue'er wiped away her tears, took a deep breath, composed herself and answered the call, "Hello, Mom."

  "Xue Er, are you going to attend the press conference? Don't know if you have time to come over?"

  Jiang Xue'er said: "What's the point of holding a press conference?"

  Chen Feng said: "You and Ling Feng will be engaged in half a month, I have discussed with Ling Feng's parents, let's make your marriage public first."

  Jiang Xue'er said: "Mom, I don't want to marry Ling Feng."

  Chen Feng said in confusion: "Why? Don't you love Ling Feng very much? Ling Feng also loves you, why did you suddenly say you won't marry him?"

  Jiang Xue'er replied: "I don't love him anymore."

  "Silly child, how can you say love or not love so easily? Are we, Ling Feng, quarreling again?"

  "Nothing", Chen Feng said to Jiang Xue'er, who couldn't say anything, perhaps just sulking for a moment, throwing a tantrum like a child. "Alright, since you don't want to come, then stay home and rest well, hang up."

  Jiang Xue'er didn't know what she was thinking, her heart clearly loved Ran Lingfeng, but now she wanted to cut ties with him. At this moment, she just wanted to be alone quietly, not caring about anyone or anything, and not wanting to see anyone.

  At this time, Ruan Lingfeng came to the Jiang's house looking for Jiang Xue'er. "Where is Xue'er?" Ruan Lingfeng asked the nanny as she entered without seeing Jiang Xue'er.

  "The young lady is in her room," said the nanny, "I'll go call her."

  Ran Lingfeng replied: "No need, I'll go myself."

  "Honey, I'm here." Ruan Lingfeng said at Jiang Xue'er's door.

  Jiang Xue'er in the room heard it clearly, but she really didn't have the mood, she really didn't care about Ruan Lingfeng, no matter how Ruan Lingfeng knocked on the door, still no one answered, and the door was locked.

  "Xue Er, open the door, I'm Ling Feng, Xue Er~~~~."

  Jiang Xue'er sat in the room, hearing Rang Lingfeng knocking outside, but she didn't respond to him. This made Rang Lingfeng's heart even more anxious, because Jiang Xue'er had never been like this before - no matter how he called out, she wouldn't open the door or respond. Suddenly, Jiang Xue'er opened the door and said: "You go back, I want to be alone for a while."

  Ran Lingfeng joked, "Who made my baby angry?" Ran Lingfeng didn't know what had happened at all, thinking that Jiang Xue'er was just in a bad mood for the time being, and didn't pay much attention.

  "I just don't want to see you, go back." Jiang Xue'er said.

  "But I want to see you, every moment I don't see you, I miss you."

  Jiang Xue'er said: "Ran Lingfeng, I've told you, I don't want to see you. Leave, just leave..."

  Jiang Xue'er pushed Ran Lingfeng out of the door, wanting to close it again, but she didn't have enough strength to do so. She walked over to the bed and sat down, bursting into tears.

  Ran Lingfeng looked at Jiang Xue'er who was crying, and his heart sank even further. He hadn't done anything to her, so why was she acting like this? As he walked over to the bed, Ran Lingfeng saw a photo on the bed and picked it up to take a look. It turned out to be a picture of him with some unknown women, including Qiao Anna and others. No wonder Jiang Xue'er was heartbroken.

  Ran Lingfeng said: "Xue Er, this is not what you think it is, please believe me." Jiang Xue'er didn't speak, "Look at these photos, they're all composite, how could I possibly do such things?"

  Jiang Xue'er said sorrowfully: "These are all facts, how can I believe you? I don't believe you. Leave, leave, I never want to see you again."

  Ran Lingfeng knew that these photos were synthesized and not real, but his Xue'er no longer believed him. Ran Lingfeng vowed to investigate this matter clearly, and no one could destroy their feelings.

  At 3 pm, a press conference was held, and the conference room was packed with reporters. However, many reporters were confused - since when did the two families of Ruan Jiang have any dealings? They had never interacted before, so why were they suddenly holding a joint press conference together? The reporters discussed this among themselves, but couldn't come up with anything conclusive.

  At this time, the two families of Ruan Jiang were escorted to the press conference, and many reporters asked questions eagerly, but were blocked by security guards.

  Yan Jincheng, founder of Emperor Group, is currently the chairman of the company. Since its inception, the brand has been positioned for development and has become a well-known trademark in Southeast Asia. The group has hundreds of subsidiaries and many undisclosed industries. Over the decades, it has created numerous miracles. As things have a beginning and an end, and the industry develops daily, the Yan family has reached the pinnacle of the industry but still cannot avoid competition.

  "Today is the annual press conference of Ying Huang, and I would like to take this opportunity to announce something," said Ruan Jincheng.

  "Excuse me, Chairman Ruan, is what you're going to announce today a plan to cooperate with SanYang Group?"

  "Will Swire Group acquire Sanyo Group?"

  "May I ask Chairman Jiang, does Sanyo Group have plans to enter China?"

  Ran Jincheng said: "Everyone be quiet for a moment. What I want to say today is not about cooperation, but whether the two families of Ran Jiang are going to become relatives?"

  Each reporter was a bit puzzled after hearing this. Wasn't it always said that the Ruan family would be marrying into the Qiao family? How did it suddenly become the Jiang family?

  Reporters asked: "Is the marriage between Jiang's family and Ruan's family also a business alliance?", "It was previously rumored that Ruan's family would marry into Qiao's family, what's going on with this?"

  Jiang Nan said: "The marriage between the Rans and the Jiangs is not a business alliance. As for whether the Jiang family will cooperate with the Ran family in business, I can only say that it won't happen now, and we'll see about the future."

  "May I ask when the engagement is? Previously, it was reported that Emperor Group was facing a crisis and had to merge with the Cho family. Now that Emperor Group has overcome the crisis, does this mean they won't be merging with the Cho family?" asked one of the reporters.

  Ran Jincheng said: "The Ran and Qiao families are close relatives, the rumors about their marriage alliance are false. The engagement is tentatively scheduled for half a month later."

  "Excuse me, where is the engagement venue?", "Who will be invited to attend at that time?"

  Ran Lingfeng and Jiang Xuer's engagement was announced, the entire industry was in an uproar, the stocks of Ran's family and Jiang's family immediately soared, and it was a sharp rise. These two groups that were never connected before, are international giants, to be able to cooperate with them is a boundless future, and also the dream of many enterprises.
