I Treat You as My Sister, But You Want to be My Wife?!

Chapter 554: Chapter 554 Settled

"..." But before she had a chance to speak, she was already called over by Shen Dong. It seemed that he also wanted to have a private conversation. Kang Yue watched this scene feeling somewhat dissatisfied, pouting her lips wanting to follow, but Shen Dong turned back and simply sighed at her silence.

He then continued to speak, "All right, just wait for me here. I will give you a satisfying answer. I definitely won’t do anything I shouldn’t. You should trust me, shouldn’t you? From the beginning until now, you’ve doubted me so many times, you should at least give me a chance to prove myself, kiddo."

After saying that, he took Zhang Yue to the side. Zhang Yue still felt a little nervous inside. Taking her aside, what exactly was he going to say? It couldn’t be those hurtful words that would lead to giving up, right? This was also a very lucrative place.

If she couldn’t hook up with this boss and calmly make money here, in a few years’ time she could leave and live luxuriously. There was really no need to cling to this man. So she thought, if the talk later didn’t go well, then she would just concede to the other party. That way she wouldn’t be thrown out.

Thinking this way, Zhang Yue had already sort of figured out what was most important to her, not to lose sight of the forest for the trees.

"Mr. Shen, why did you bring me here? What do you want to tell me? We’re both sensible people, let’s just speak frankly."

"I also think you’re a smart person, so there’s no need for me to elaborate much. You should have seen that she’s my girlfriend. Because of you, my relationship with my girlfriend has been rather unpleasant. Over the past days, we’ve actually quarreled a few times.

It’s because of your issue that things have become a bit unpleasant among us, so I was thinking about this matter. Sometimes you don’t need to stick that close to me. Everything you need to learn I have already taught you, and I have arranged for people over there to teach you. If there’s anything you don’t understand, just ask them; stop looking for me.

About that extra chance I spoke of, I want to clarify that it isn’t something I’m saying to you alone. I am slowly experimenting to see if there will be opportunities in the future. If there are, I will naturally choose those who perform better. So there’s no need for you to waste your efforts. Making connections with me won’t help you.

I am a person who insists on fairness and justice. If someone has the ability, they will get their chance; it’s always been this way, all fair, even with my girlfriend. Why do you think my girlfriend could sit in that position? It’s all because of her own abilities, not because of someone else."

When Shen Dong spoke this, he couldn’t help feeling a bit proud. His girlfriend had always been different from others since the beginning, and her capability to prove herself was simply remarkable. She didn’t need his help for many things, and could even assist him in much. This was why they had supported each other and come so far together.

There was also the fact that his girlfriend often accommodated him, although he knew he had upset her many times. But Kang Yue always tolerated him.

While pondering this, his face couldn’t help but reveal a particularly sweet expression. Seeing this, Zhang Yue felt extremely fragile inside, shattered. She hadn’t expected the relationship between the two to be so strong. No wonder her many previous attempts had been futile. If she could experience so many things, she definitely wouldn’t be able to stand it. Forget it, forget it.

Since she couldn’t break them up, she shouldn’t forcefully try to split them anymore. Doing so would impact her as well. After all, if something happened in the future, she probably wouldn’t be able to stay here. In hindsight, she shouldn’t have acted that way; she should have first understood the situation before making plans. At that time, she was just afraid of being forgotten.

Now she became a woman who was perceived as contentious. Reflecting on it now, she felt too impulsive. But at least now she had the chance to leave a good impression on Kang Yue. Nobody likes to confront a formidable woman; if she withdrew proactively, maybe the other party would even regard her more highly.

"Mr. Shen, I know what you are going to say. Rest assured, I have a sense of measure for the next steps, and I know what to do. I won’t disturb the relationship between you and Mr. Kang anymore. I was wrong before. Please apologize to her on my behalf when you go back. I was pretty impulsive at first, just trying to stand out, and didn’t really have much of a thought about you.

Yes, I will continue to stay here and work hard to make money. These issues won’t knock me down. One day I will become a powerful woman just like Shang Yuan. When that day comes, I hope you won’t regret letting go of a woman who is both smart and capable. After all, it’s your own decision, Mr. Shen. You probably won’t regret it, will you?"

Zhang Yue deliberately cooled down the atmosphere a bit and playfully said these words, looking to lighten the mood. Shen Dong, seeing this attitude, finally felt at ease. He was worried that if this woman was hit hard by his words, she might not want to come work here anymore. What would he do then?

Many young men here tonight really like this woman. Her words allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief. Indeed, it’s all right; this person wouldn’t leave here on her own, nor would she stop coming because she was too embarrassed. It seems in the future he would need to find people who were more desperate for money. Money really does make the world go round; the saying is true.

Considering everything had reached this point, and she was still willing to stay, this proved that this woman had strong mental fortitude and would definitely be able to handle future tasks.

It’s just a matter of sooner or later for someone to rise to the top. He believed in that very much. Shen Dong nodded his head, agreeing completely with what she said.

"If you have that kind of awareness in your heart, I think it’s already quite good. Then just stay here honestly, and I won’t say anything more. I should leave soon; if I don’t, my girlfriend might suspect I was saying something to you. The things I just mentioned to you, you’d better not blabber nonsense about them.

Otherwise, I’ll definitely get an earful from my girlfriend later." Shen Dong shrugged and joked. In reality, Kang Yue was quite good to him, always compliant, even when he was in the wrong, she would accommodate him.
