Chapter 1203 What to do if I suddenly become even more jealous?
"Really? What did you say to Liang Chen? Why did you specifically go to find him?"
When Huo Yanchen asked this question, his throat tightened slightly, and he didn't even realize the jealousy in his tone.
Jiang Manman doesn't like Liang Chen, so why is she running over there so eagerly?
Liang Chen must be incredibly pleased with himself, probably extremely happy.
Jiang Manman: "..."
That's because of work. But if I say that I went to see Liang Chen because of work, and it's also related to the project I'm working on, wouldn't Huo Yanchen think that I'm some kind of corporate spy, revealing business secrets to Liang Chen?
Seeing that Jiang Manman was silent and looked guilty, he felt extremely guilty.
Huo Yanchen's face turned cold. What? Could it be that Jiang Manman really has something going on with Liang Chen?
A resurgence?
"What, you've realized how good Liang Chen is, and now you want him to come back to you?"
"What do you mean by turning back?"
"Isn't that right? Then why did you go to see him? Liang Chen is working at the company now, and he's changed a lot, hasn't he? You like mature men, right? He likes you so much, what, are you softening and thinking of agreeing?"
Huo Yanchen felt inexplicably hostile; the thought of Jiang Manman being with someone like Liang Chen made him extremely unhappy.
He knew he was being selfish; he found that he couldn't bear to watch Jiang Manman be with another man.
He seems... to be jealous.
It was that uncontrollable jealousy.
He knew he couldn't be with Jiang Manman; the Jiang family wouldn't agree, and Jiang Manman might regret it.
He thought he wouldn't like Jiang Manman and didn't have such deep feelings for her, but after they broke up, he realized that he had underestimated himself. Some things had already seeped into his bones and he couldn't get rid of them.
Just like he knew he shouldn't have contact with Jiang Manman, but he still couldn't help it.
I shouldn't have bothered with Jiang Manman's affairs, but I still asked anyway.
"What nonsense is this? Liang Chen and I didn't talk about any of this. It's because of that project. Liang's Group and we are competing for the same company, but my investigation found that this company is not good and may go bankrupt later. So I wanted Liang Chen to give up the project as well, but he disagreed and thought I had ulterior motives. He thought I was helping you and deliberately trying to persuade him to give up."
"But I didn't think that way at all. We grew up together, and he still doubts me like that. I would never harm him, but I still hope that his project won't go wrong."
Jiang Manman said a long string of words, but Huo Yanchen only paid attention to a few words: "We grew up together."
What should I do if I suddenly become even more jealous?
He and Jiang Manman haven't known each other for very long, only two years.
But Liang Chen, on the other hand, watched Jiang Manman being born and growing up.
Even if you don't like them, they are still childhood sweethearts and have occupied such a long time in each other's lives.
That is something that no one can compare to or replace.
Jiang Manman didn't notice the change in Huo Yanchen's expression and continued, "By the way, there's something you might not know. Luo Jing, my cousin, has gone to Liang's Group. I suspect she's the one who persuaded Liang Chen to take over this project. I feel like she's deliberately going against me."
“Liang Chen is new to the workforce, but Luo Jing has been working for so long. I don’t believe she’s unaware of the potential dangers of this project. The Liang Group will bear the consequences. If it really goes bankrupt, Luo Jing can just walk away, but the losses will all go to the Liang Group. I originally wanted to remind him, but he wouldn’t listen to me.”
"He doesn't listen to you, so why are you wasting so much time talking to him?" Huo Yanchen's tone sounded very displeased.
Jiang Manman didn't know why Huo Yanchen was suddenly so angry, so she blamed herself for telling Liang Chen that there was a problem with the project.
Huo Yanchen said, "People are hard to listen to, especially young people. Many of them think they are super capable. When they see others fall into a pit and suffer a terrible fall, they think that if they were in that situation, such a thing would never happen."
"Look at all those people who get scammed online. They all think others are stupid and that they themselves would never be scammed. But in reality, so many people still get scammed. Since they think they can do it, why do you care about them? What's your relationship with them that you need to tell them so much?"
Jiang Manman didn't understand what Huo Yanchen meant for a moment.
Her lips parted slightly: "I..."
"Can you stop him from jumping into the pit? What if the project turns out fine? He'll still think you're blocking his path to making money. Jiang Manman, the adult world is complicated. The worst thing you can do is meddle in other people's business. You might end up getting yourself into trouble, and he won't appreciate your good intentions at all!"
Jiang Manman blinked her eyelashes, and belatedly realized that Huo Yanchen might be teaching her a lesson.
At first, she thought Huo Yanchen was angry about the communication issues at work, but after thinking about it carefully, she realized that what Huo Yanchen said made sense.
Indeed, good intentions are often misunderstood. Humans are complex beings, and their understanding and perception of things differ depending on their perspective.
However, Jiang Manman did not regret it. She had reminded him, and the outcome was none of her business. But if she hadn't reminded him, she wouldn't have been able to get over this hurdle in her heart.
Jiang Manman looked at Huo Yanchen openly and said, "Huo Yanchen, it's been a long time since you've talked to me this much."
Huo Yanchen really talked a lot, even though he didn't like talking to her in the first place.
Huo Yanchen didn't expect Jiang Manman to have such a strange focus. Under the gaze of Jiang Manman's dark eyes, Huo Yanchen also became embarrassed.
He cleared his throat: "That's because you're stupid. I'm afraid you'll embarrass yourself by going out with me, and if you make a mistake later, you'll say you came from my Huo Group."
Jiang Manman said, "I'm not that stupid. I'm obviously very smart, okay? Look at how I resolved the situation when Luo Jing tried to frame me."
She just doesn't want to think about those complicated things, but that doesn't mean she's stupid enough to stand there and get framed. She's not stupid at all.
"Ha, that was just luck."
"How is it just luck? Why is it so hard for you to admit that I'm a good person?" Jiang Manman said softly.
"You really know how to pat yourself on the back."
"What I said is true, but Huo Yanchen, you're actually worried that I'll interfere too much with Liang's business. If Liang Chen's project runs into any problems, he'll come looking for trouble with me, right? If I pretend I don't know anything and let him make his own choices, then even if something goes wrong in the end, he won't be able to blame anyone."
Jiang Manman knew that since she had reminded Liang Chen, he would think that Jiang Manman clearly knew there was a problem with the project.
If the losses are too great, they might try to shirk responsibility and blame others.
But Jiang Manman felt that Liang Chen shouldn't be that kind of person.
