Unavoidably, Gu Qingyou did not make another move.
Only the occasional light from the lighthouse illuminated each other in the night, and her eyes met his with pain.
"How can you use the Elder Brother Sheng like that?" Gu Qingyou could not understand and accept this kind of Jiang Jun.
Jiang Jun's expression did not change in the slightest. He stared fixedly at her, and said in a low voice the answer she did not want to hear, "This is the shopping mall, this is how I act."
Gu Qingyou glared at him, and his answer seemed to be unreal like a dream. Afterwards, you gave Elder Brother Sheng the chance to work with Que Yan. This is not because your conscience is unsettled, but because you thought that Elder Brother Sheng will be able to be of use to you in the future! " she murmured.
Jiang Jun put both her hands into her pockets, her expression still the same. You can say that."
Gu Qingyou could hardly believe the answer she heard from his mouth, and her entire person froze for a moment. You are not like this, you said that this is your compensation to the Elder Brother Sheng?? "
"Think about it. Did I really say that to you?" Jiang Junchen asked.
Gu Qingyou was stu ed once again.
Jiang Jun looked at her and said calmly, "I am a businessman, I will only look to profit first?? If I did not value Sheng Jingchuan's business acumen, I would not have paved that path for him."
Gu Qingyou shook her head once again. She could not believe the person she trusted the most.
Jiang Jun continued, "So, I told you before, I'm not a good person, it's you who thinks I'm a good person and even said that?? No matter what sort of person I am, you will always be with me."
Gu Qingyou's eyes were covered by a thin layer of mist, causing her to be unable to clearly see the man in front of her. No, no... You are not like this, you are lying to me... The Jiang Jun that you know, will not do something as reckless as this." she murmured, still unable to believe it.
Jiang Jun looked at her clear eyes, which were shining with tears at night. The Jiang Jun you know, has always been this kind of person, because if he wasn't this kind of person, he would have already died at Qi Yuanheng's hands long ago, dying at Chi Yifeng's hands."
Gu Qingyou reprimanded with his hoarse voice, "You are trying to defend your own actions."
Jiang Jun shook her head, "I don't need to defend my own actions, because that is indeed the truth?? If a single person can succeed, there are many things behind his back that no one knows about. I ca ot say that all the merchants of this world are mercenary and cold-blooded, but I dare to say that unless it's a mercenary or a cold-blooded and heartless person, he will never be able to reach my current position! " Jiang Jun's voice was very calm, just like the calm ocean surface behind Gu Qingyou.
Gu Qingyou's tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes and slowly rolled down her pale white face."You've always been lying to me, you've always been lying to me??"
Jiang Junchen looked down, "I didn't lie to you, it was just that you were unwilling to accept the truth."
Gu Qingyou sobbed softly, and tears rolled down her face unrestrainedly.
Jiang Jun turned her face away, unwilling to look at her tears that fell like pearls with broken strings. If you really want to get to the bottom of this, I think you can find out a lot more about what I've done that goes against your philosophy of life, but this is me, the me that even the future can't change." He slowed her tone as if she were talking to her.
Gu Qingyou wiped away the tears on her face and looked at him with blurry eyes. You said you didn't lie to me... If you really do all the things that you do for me without guilt or hesitation, why do you have to go through so much trouble to not let me know about the matters of the Elder Brother Sheng? Don't tell me that you suddenly switched Cui Hao wasn't to make it easier for Ye Shuo to monitor me! "
In the face of her questioning, Jiang Jun slowly turned around as her deep gaze met with her eyes that were filled with tears yet were filled with pride. I indeed do not wish for you to know about Sheng Jingchuan's matter, replacing Cui Hao is also to better protect you. But my original intention was not for you to know about everything I have done, I just did not want to affect our relationship."
Gu Qingyou took a deep breath, allowing her voice to stabilise, "You are really selfish. No matter what, you only think of yourself, like how you originally wanted to buy the Shengyuan Group, then design the i ocent Elder Brother Sheng. Now, in order to protect the relationship between you and me, you have to put in all your effort to not let the Elder Brother Sheng reveal your true identity."
Jiang Jun looked at her with a pondering expression, "So, you think that I was trying my best to protect the relationship between us because of selfish reasons?"
Gu Qingyou was speechless.
Jiang Jun furrowed her brows and continued, "I have never tried to pretend that I am some kind of person in front of you, but if I am lying to you, then the only reason I am lying to you is because I do not want to affect our relationship!"
Gu Qingyou lowered his head and looked at the soft white sand beneath her feet. Even in the darkness of the night, they were still pure and white."Okay, as matters stand, it is no longer important to investigate what sort of person you are, because, like you said, in the past, you didn't intentionally deceive me. I was just unwilling to believe that you were such a person. But now??" Saying this, she suddenly raised her head and stared at him, "Elder Brother Sheng was used by you to gather information useful to you by the European Union company. Now, the Nass Group has been investigated to be an empty shell company, and Elder Brother Sheng, as the person in charge, is accused by the European Business Union?? You have to stop this from happening."
Jiang Jun's handsome face turned cold and she said calmly, "I can't stop this from happening unless I tell my story."
Gu Qingyou's brows tightly knitted together. She found it hard to believe that Jiang Jun would reply in such a casual ma er. You have the mind and the ability, and you must have a way of getting it right, unless you don't want to."
Jiang Jun's dark black eyes narrowed into a line, and said in a deep voice, "Yes, I am not willing to settle it."
"Why?" Gu Qingyou roared softly, "This matter was because you took advantage of the Elder Brother Sheng, and now that something happened, you are not willing to help his settle it. How can you do this?"
Jiang Jun said calmly, "Because tomorrow is the last day of the NT project's bidding, I do not want my qualifications to bid for this project to be affected by Sheng Jingchuan's matter."
Gu Qingyou held her breath, "That is to say, you have a way to help Elder Brother Sheng solve the problem, but you are worried that the Elder Brother Sheng will affect your bid for NT project, so even though you know that the Elder Brother Sheng may be imprisoned, you still refused to save him!"
Jiang Jun's calmness had always been the same. If I were to help Sheng Jingchuan at this time, once Fest and the other companies find evidence against me, I would immediately lose my qualifications to vote for NT. After that?? The Jiang??s Group is about to be destroyed."
His reasons sounded grand, but her heart could not agree with him.
"You made use of the Elder Brother Sheng. After the incident, you treated the Elder Brother Sheng as an abandoned child and ignored him?? Jiang Jun, how can you be so despicable? "
"I don't think that I was despicable in this matter. After all, the reason Sheng Jingchuan was willing to do this for me before was because he saw the benefits I had promised him and his uncle?? So we were doing the same thing, and he just messed it up."
"No matter what Elder Brother Sheng it is that wants to help you, it's still because something has happened to you. How can you just abandon him like that?"
"This is a shopping mall, survival of the fittest??" If Sheng Jingchuan is able to get me some information this time, allowing me to obtain the NT project, then Sheng Jingchuan will be at the position closest to me at the top of the pyramid."
Gu Qingyou was speechless.
"Perhaps when I say this, you think I'm cruel and merciless, but this is a shopping mall, a slaughterhouse that kills people with no blood... Sheng Jingchuan was also fighting with all his might in this slaughterhouse, in order to let himself live to the end. Unfortunately, he lost, and the outcome of his loss was destined to be miserable. Back then, if you had wanted to reach a higher position, you would have fallen much deeper. Therefore, Sheng Jingchuan should not have any complaints, because this is the 'price' for losing."
Jiang Jun specifically emphasized on the word "price".
But this "price", to her, was so cruel, but to Jiang Jun, it was so insignificant. It was as if this was a game he was playing around with! She did not understand how he could have completely failed to realize that no one was having sex, that there was not a shred of mercy in everything he did??
Gu Qingyou lowered her eyes, a deep grief surging into his heart.
"Are you sure you don't want to help Elder Brother Sheng?" she asked in a faint voice.
Jiang Jun took a step forward, took both her hands out from her pockets, and gently supported them on Yun Che's waist. Jingjing, listen to me?? Sheng Jingchuan is also betting for his own future, but since he has lost, he should accept this reality, and it is impossible for me to affect myself because of him."
Gu Qingyou lowered her eyes, gently shook her head, and insisted on avoiding his eyes.
"You should understand, right?" Jiang Jun spoke sincerely and sincerely.
Gu Qingyou did not speak, nor did she raise her head to meet his deep black eyes.
She was so sad she wanted to laugh, but she found it laughable.
"Let's go eat something?? After standing there for so long, you should be hungry." Jiang Jun tried to coax her softly.
Gu Qingyou gently pulled away from Jiang Jun, took a deep breath and said, "You can go back first, I want to stay here quietly by myself?? If you don't trust me to stay here by myself, you can leave Ye Shuo here."
Jiang Jun held her shoulders and said lovingly, "Clear and quiet??"
Gu Qingyou immediately interrupted him, "I think I have the right to be quiet by myself, don't I?"
Jiang Jun's hands paused on her shoulders, and then slowly slid down her shoulders until she released her.
Gu Qingyou turned around and faced the endless dark sea.
Jiang Jun stared at her frail back for a long time before she finally sighed and turned to leave.
When he started to move, he wished Ye Shuo to stay and take care of Gu Qingyou.
