Chapter 335: Chapter 335: Young Master Zhong’s Handsome Man Strategy!

Wan Jiang was truly in a bind!

He watched Young Master Zhong and Xiang Mingzhu flirt back and forth, and within a few exchanges, she was blushing and her heart was pounding. And in the end, he even threw out the betrothal gifts that symbolized the alliance of the two families. How important were those items.

Did Young Master Zhong really throw it out like that?

What does that mean?

"Young Master, may I really ask?" Wan Jiang requested permission once more.

He always felt there was an incredibly deep conspiracy involved, and he also suspected whether Young Master Zhong just used his handsome looks as a tactic.

"If you’re going to hem and haw, then don’t ask."

Not wanting to miss this great opportunity, Wan Jiang asserted, "Young Master Zhong, the Dragon and Phoenix Hollowed-out Happiness Ornament is custom-made from the finest Mutton Fat Jade as a marriage promise between the Zhong Family and the Lu Family. Now that you’ve given the jade pendant to Xiang Mingzhu, she will definitely misunderstand."

"Misunderstand what?"

"Naturally, she’ll think you want to marry her!"

Young Master Zhong said indifferently, "Is that so? Did anyone see me give her the jade pendant?"

Wan Jiang pointed at himself and said, "Me. I’ve seen it with both eyes!"

Young Master Zhong narrowed his eyes slightly, giving him a cold look as he said, "Wan Jiang, I’m giving you one chance. I’ll ask you one last time, did you see it? Did you see it, or do your eyes not wish to remain with you?"

The tone was laced with an obvious threat.

Wan Jiang felt a chill in his heart, and while he looked around, he realized that the spot they were in was a blind spot for the surveillance, unnoticed by others.

There was no evidence!

Besides him as the eyewitness.

If Young Master Zhong didn’t want others to know about this, then he would have to silence Wan Jiang!

Wan Jiang sucked in a breath of cold air and promptly retracted his statement, "Young Master Zhong, I didn’t see anything. I swear to the heavens, if I dare to utter a single word, I won’t die a good death."

Young Master Zhong glanced at him and nodded in satisfaction, "Wan Jiang, since you’ve chosen to follow me, you must be wholehearted. If you think of betraying me, no one else would dare to employ you. You know that, right? Faithful to the end?"

Wan Jiang quickly nodded.

In a low voice, he asked, "Do you have any plans, sir? If you need my cooperation, just command me."

Young Master Zhong pressed the elevator button, a faint hint of derision curling on his lips, "No grand plans, I just want to see to what extent the relationship between the sisters Lu Yingxue and Xiang Mingzhu is actually good."

Wan Jiang thought something was off.

If he wasn’t mistaken, Young Master Zhong giving the marriage token to Xiang Mingzhu was to boost her confidence to surpass Lu Yingxue at the Needle Test. The jade ornament he provided was a pill of assurance.

If Xiang Mingzhu indeed had designs on the position of the Young Madam of the Zhong Family, she would definitely make a move.

Yet, Young Master Zhong gave it privately, where no one could bear witness.

If Xiang Mingzhu did win, and Young Master Zhong didn’t want to honor the promise,

he could simply say he lost the jade pendant carelessly, or accuse Xiang Mingzhu of stealing it. Then, Lu Yingxue and Xiang Mingzhu would end up with nothing!

Clever!

To stir up sibling rivalry with a beauty trap, reaping the benefits without any investment—gaining something for nothing!

But what was his true goal?

Wan Jiang felt a tingling in his scalp.

It was the Needle Test!

The most likely victor of the Needle Test was Lu Yingxue, and if Xiang Mingzhu had ulterior motives that troubled her, then her chances of winning would decrease.

Who would win?

Wan Jiang slowly turned his head, staring blankly at the handsome young man before him.

He was employing the least effort to change the situation, all so that Miss Qiao would have a chance to win.

Was it for a married woman?

Young Master Zhong noticed his gaze, and his eyes, smiling, met his.

Wan Jiang felt a chill run down his spine, coldness rushing to the crown of his head. If it had been anyone else, how could they possibly have grasped his tactics!

Mingzhu probably was still immersed in beautiful dreams, totally unaware that Young Master Zhong, for a Qiao Xi completely unrelated to him, had actually laid out such a grand scheme!

Young Master Zhong’s tone was indifferent, yet it hid an obvious warning, "Wan Jiang, you are a smart man. But sometimes it’s not good to be too clever. Playing dumb at the right time can help you live longer."

The circles in the Imperial Capital are far more dangerous than those in Haicheng.

The big families that have survived until now, who among their ancestors doesn’t have a mountain of skeletons! Who hasn’t been stained with another’s blood!

Wan Jiang quickly bowed his head respectfully, "Young Master Zhong, I am tight-lipped. I am your man, I know what to say and what not to say. Today I know nothing and am even more oblivious on how your jade pendant ended up with Miss Xiang."

Young Master Zhong chuckled softly, "I won’t mistreat those who are loyal. My foundation within the Zhong Family is not yet solid, and I need many helpers by my side. Wan Jiang, I hope you can be my right-hand man, understand?"

"Yes."

He knew how to tighten and relax, to stretch and contract.

There is a way to control people.

He understood the principle of giving a sweet date after a flogging all too well.

Just like Qiao Xi once said, the old folks in her village were the best at training dogs—beat them one day, feed them the next, and in the long run, they would be loyal without fail.

"Tomorrow, arrange to have lunch with Xiang Mingzhu at Baroque Restaurant."

Young Master Zhong knew that a single jade pendant wasn’t enough to make Mingzhu follow his script, it was time to offer another sweet date, to foster more fantasies in her.

Moreover, having lunch with Mingzhu in public, and letting those with ulterior motives hear of it... especially Lu Yingxue, that would be interesting.

It was a test to see just how deep the bond between these cousins was.

If he allowed them to stand united, sweeping away their competitors at the trial embroidery meeting, it would be tough for Qiao Xi.

He was aware of his good looks and even more aware that certain women coveted his family background, but to those women with ulterior motives who were as venomous as serpents, he would not be polite.

It was a give-and-take; they wanted the position of his wife.

So he would bait the hook, muddy the waters, and fish for the big catch!

Wan Jiang dared not ask anything, only replying, "Alright, Young Master Zhong. I’ll arrange it immediately..."

...

Late at night.

Ye Family.

Ye Zhimeng was urgently summoned home by a phone call from Mrs. Ye. Upon returning home, Zhimeng saw the serious expressions of Mrs. Ye and Mr. Ye in the living room, which filled her with panic.

Mrs. Ye said coldly, "We already know about the trouble you caused at the club. The club has sent the bill for the damages to my phone; the fine wines you smashed along with the decorations total up to 560,000 yuan. Zhimeng, I’ve said it before, if you cause any more trouble, we’ll either send you abroad or sever the adoption relationship."

Zhimeng, with tears in her eyes, said, "Auntie, they started it. I was just having a wine bath when I passed out, yet the Ye Family can’t get rid of the trending topic. It’s clear that someone is stirring up trouble, and the club should take responsibility as well."

She just couldn’t understand why she was so unlucky!

Mrs. Ye, poised and graceful, asked, "Do you think you did nothing wrong?"

Zhimeng asserted confidently, "Of course I’m not wrong!"

"You confronted the Huo Family at the auction, chased after Xu Xiuyuan at the hospital, and even bullied the Young Madam of the Huo Family at the club. Do you really think you’ve done nothing wrong?"

"No! It’s Qiao Xi who’s shameless. She’s married and still trying to seduce Xu Xiuyuan. If it weren’t for her, I could have developed a relationship with Xiuyuan when I returned to the country. I should have been the one to marry him."

Mrs. Ye took a deep breath, knowing this adopted daughter was beyond help.

She was both ignorant and malicious.

Mrs. Ye was prepared to shatter her hopes, "Zhimeng, do you know who bought the trending search and spread your naked photos all over the city, causing you to lose face?"
