Jiang Chen said, “Let’s keep an eye on him first. That person is very meticulous, so he will definitely show up. Even if he doesn’t show up in person, he will definitely choose his most capable subordinates. If we can find any clues, we might be able to catch that person.”

Zheng Tian nodded. After putting away the tablet in his hand, he said, “Young Master Xu is here.”

“Let him in. You can leave now.”

Zheng Tian bowed respectfully and pressed the button to open the door of the Jiang family’s villa. After a while, Xu Zhi walked in.

Xu Zhi was still a little reserved when he saw Jiang Chen. He stood in the living room without saying anything, nor did he sit down.

Jiang Chen looked at him with a smile and asked him to sit down. At the same time, he asked a servant to prepare a tea set for him.

Xu Zhi straightened his upper body and reported the situation to him. “Shi Yi has already agreed to participate in the competition. I’ve also given her the fabric.”

Jiang Chen wasn’t surprised. It was obvious that he knew Xu Zhi would succeed.

“As expected, you didn’t disappoint me.”

Xu Zhi asked in confusion, “Cousin, why did you want me to reveal the fact that you are my model to Shi Yi and Yuan Shu? Aren’t you afraid that Yuan Shu will become suspicious?”

Jiang Chen said firmly, “She’ll become suspicious, and she’ll change the color of the cloth.”

Xu Zhi was surprised. “Since you knew that Yuan Shu would definitely change the color, why did you ask me to tell her about this?”

When he thought of Yuan Shu, Jiang Chen’s gaze became gentle. “That’s because Yuan Shu is very stubborn. You can’t push her too hard. If you push her too hard, you’ll only push her further away. In the end, not only won’t she compromise, but she’ll resist to the end.”

Whenever he mentioned Yuan Shu, Jiang Chen always talked non-stop. “If she finds out the truth during the banquet, her anger at being used will make her view me with hostility. She will only feel safe if you let her think that she is in control of everything. Otherwise, she will make things difficult for herself.” It was rare for Xu Zhi to see such a gentle and interesting side of Jiang Chen. Whenever he talked about Yuan Shu, it was as if he was talking about a treasure. Even the most trifling matters would be recounted with relish.

“You know her very well,” Xu Zhi said.

Jiang Chen started to fiddle with the tea set. While making tea, he said, “The person who understands a person the most is the person who loves her the most. It’s just like how you know how to get Shi Yi to agree to the competition.” Xu Zhi was silent for a moment.

He picked up the tea Jiang Chen handed him and took a sip. After he put down the cup, he said calmly, “Cousin, you must love Yuan Shu very much, right?”

Xu Zhi thought Jiang Chen would change the subject, but he said without hesitation, “Yes, I love her very much.”

Jiang Chen’s gaze was frank and straightforward. “I love her more than anyone can imagine. I know her very well, even better than she knows herself.”

Jiang Chen looked straight at Xu Zhi. He admired this young man, so he didn’t mind telling Xu Zhi these things.

“Actually, there are many things that can be abandoned, such as family. No enmity should involve individuals, just like you and Shi Yi. Even if the Jiang family and the Shi family are against each other, you guys shouldn’t become sacrifices.”

Jiang Chen’s sinister behavior had always scared Xu Zhi and he couldn’t even understand Jiang Chen’s behavior most of the time, but what Jiang Chen said at this moment touched Xu Zhi deeply.

He knew that it was even more difficult for Jiang Chen and Yuan Shu than it was for him and Shi Yi, because Yuan Shu was already married, but Shi Yi wasn’t.

Moreover, Yuan Shu’s feelings for Jiang Chen were ambiguous.

Jiang Chen got up and prepared to go back to his room to rest. Before he went upstairs, he said to Xu Zhi, “Design my clothing well. This will be the first time 1 appear in front of the public as Jiang Chen. I want to give them an unforgettable first impression.”

That night, Xu Zhi took a long detour on the way back to the company. After he went to almost all the places he had gone to with Shi Yi and recalled what he had said to Shi Yi, he was even more certain that his choice was right. As he thought about this, he suddenly had inspiration for the clothing and rushed back to the company to design it.

The Song family’s banquet was held in the most luxurious hotel, the Molten Hotel. The banquet started at seven in the evening, but people had already arrived one after another since five in the afternoon.

Yuan Shu was the first to arrive and arrived at the banquet hall before six o’clock..
