Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 876: Chapter 876: I’ll Go Talk Myself

Jiang Yue decisively refused Jiang Yuxiu’s ”good intentions” of matchmaking and didn’t hesitate to rebuke her aunt sharply.

”How can you speak like that, you child!” Jiang Yuxiu was a bit infuriated, as if her great kindness had been taken for granted.

Jiang Yue’s interrogation made her face turn red with embarrassment and annoyance.

”After all I did, taking you to get your hair done, buying you clothes, treating you like my own daughter, this is how you treat me, you ungrateful girl!” Jiang Yuxiu scolded.

Su Lingyu felt very awkward.

She felt that she should say something to ease the situation, but she didn’t know what to say.

Faced with such a scene, she really wasn’t good at mediating, so she could only subtly nudge Jiang Yue.

After all, they were family, and it wasn’t good to cause a scene.

Jiang Yue ignored Su Lingyu; she leisurely finished her cocktail while listening to her aunt scolding her.

It was a full five minutes before Jiang Yue looked at Jiang Yuxiu with a grin, ”Auntie, are you relieved now? See, I didn’t even talk back. I haven’t even given my own mom this much face!”

Jiang Yue had better not have mentioned her mother, for that reminded Jiang Yuxiu of more things to say.

”You mention her, but wasn’t it your mom who asked me to keep an eye out for potential matches for you? Someone rich, handsome, and who has a house and car. Wasn’t it tough for me to find Mr. Zhang for you? So what if he is a bit older? Doesn’t he meet all your mom’s criteria...”

Jiang Yue immediately gestured for her to stop and gave Jiang Yuxiu a dry smile.

”My dear aunt, ever since I was young, whenever our opinions differed, I never listened to my mom. She couldn’t do anything about it, so your mission is over. I thank you on behalf of my mom, ah!” Jiang Yue patted Jiang Yuxiu’s arm, smiled at the bartender, and pointed to Su Lingyu’s glass, ”Another one of these for me, please.”

Jiang Yuxiu’s attempt at matchmaking failed.

As much as she was unwilling, she could no longer continue.

The last thing she wanted was for Jiang Yue to get annoyed; that would be even more troublesome.

As Jiang Yuxiu was pondering if there was a way to indirectly continue, Su Lingyu glanced in a certain direction and smiled, ”Aunt Jiang, isn’t Uncle Sun calling you?”

Jiang Yuxiu followed the direction Su Lingyu was pointing.

Her husband, Sun Zicheng, was talking with Zhang Kai, occasionally glancing over.

Catching each other’s eyes, Sun Zicheng even waved at her.

”You stay here for a while; I’ll go see what’s going on,” Jiang Yuxiu picked up her purse and walked over.

With her departure, Su Lingyu also sighed in relief, leaned in, and whispered to Jiang Yue with a laugh, ”What a great aunt, trying to get you into a wealthy family. Hey, you’re really not considering it?”

”Su Lingyu!” Jiang Yue glared at her, ”Are you making fun of me, or think, perhaps next time you meet him, you’ll have one less competitor?”

Su Lingyu could not help but chuckle, ”Remember how you were when your dad introduced you to Han Chen? Now you know how annoying it is?”

”Petty!” Jiang Yue muttered, then added, ”Actually, I felt something was off right from the start. My aunt took me to get my hair done, buy clothes, even helped with my makeup. Most tellingly, while doing all that, she kept laying the groundwork, talking about this person who married rich and now rides in luxury cars and lives in mansions, or that person who married an older man and ended up living happily.”

”Humph, so she was waiting for me here!”

Jiang Yue scoffed, ”Getting me for my uncle’s boss, to smooth his own career path. So much for family loyalty!”

”If you knew something was wrong, why did you still come?” Su Lingyu exclaimed in surprise.

”Why wouldn’t I come when someone else is paying for my hair, clothes, and inviting me to a party? That’s a good deal. As for the matchmaking, pfft, I admit, yes, sometimes I am money-minded, often fantasize about marrying into wealth, and even mock you, taking shots at that Mr. Bai. But at crucial moments, my stance is firm!” Jiang Yue declared resolutely.

As they were speaking, Sun Zicheng and Zhang Kai were also having a chat.

”Mr. Zhang, with your qualifications, taking an interest in our Jiang Yue is absolutely her good fortune!”

”My partner tried to match you two. Her eloquence is reliable, and with your qualifications, this is a sure deal!”

”However, if you do succeed, you’ll need to be more devoted. After all, she’s a young girl who loves romance. A little rose here, some fireworks there, and she’ll be utterly enchanted.”

Sun Zicheng warmly suggested, ”If you don’t want to play those juvenile games, you could take her out for French cuisine a couple of times or to a concert...”

Zhang Kai gave him a look.

”Of course, I’m not here to tell you how to do things!” Sun Zicheng quickly added a smile, saying, ”Only you can tell me what to do, what I’m offering are just suggestions!”

”I know all that,” Zhang Kai said patronizingly. ”Women, well, they need to be pampered. Once she’s with me, she’ll naturally live a life unlike her previous one—a life of quality! Could my woman ever have anything less?”

”Yes, yes,” Sun Zicheng hurriedly replied.

Glancing at Jiang Yuxiu, who was walking towards them, Zhang Kai smiled and said, ”With what I offer, not to brag, but the line of young girls who want to be with me could stretch across JinPing.”

”If your Jiang Yue truly refuses, now that would be surprising.”

”After this, we’re going to be one family! Just work hard at the company, and I guarantee you’ll live comfortably!”

”The day when I step up to a higher position, this general manager position, you know!”

Zhang Kai spoke with immense confidence, even bordering on narcissism.

He wasn’t the least bit concerned about the investigation from the higher-ups.

Just some issue with the accounts—it used to be that Sun Zicheng would take the fall.

This time, since Sun Zicheng had become ”one of us,” someone else would take the fall.

After all, there were two other vice-presidents in the company. As long as he ensured their safety and promised them benefits, he believed they wouldn’t betray him.

Zhang Kai’s words left Sun Zicheng feeling both flattered and alarmed.

As Jiang Yuxiu approached, Sun Zicheng couldn’t wait to ask, ”How did it go? Did Yue agree right away? Was she thrilled?”

Zhang Kai also looked at Jiang Yuxiu with a beaming smile, eager to hear the good news.

”Jiang Yue, Jiang Yue said she needs to think about it,” Jiang Yuxiu stuttered a bit, ”She hasn’t agreed yet.”

She didn’t dare mention that Jiang Yue had flat out refused and even mocked her.

Even so, Sun Zicheng’s face changed as he couldn’t help but glance at Zhang Kai.

Zhang Kai’s smile faded, ”What, she doesn’t agree?”

”How could she not agree!” Sun Zicheng hurriedly said.

”She didn’t disagree. Maybe it was just too sudden to bring up this topic the first time they met,” Jiang Yuxiu hastily said.

”Or perhaps it was because I had someone else talk to her. That’s too insincere. What kind of time are we living in? Matchmaking is so outdated! Especially with young people, they would find it old-fashioned!” Zhang Kai pondered for a moment and felt his analysis was very reasonable.

He laughed first, ”Yes, it’s my fault! If you like someone, you should say it yourself! Who says you can’t express admiration the first time you meet? That’s what they call love at first sight, haha!”

Saying so, Zhang Kai started walking towards Jiang Yue, ”I’ll say it myself!”

Suddenly, Jiang Yuxiu was at a loss.

Saying it himself would blow their cover! But she was powerless to stop it!

Meanwhile, over there.

Su Lingyu was sitting by the bar, casually scanning around, when she suddenly froze.

At a corner of the hotel lobby, she saw a very familiar figure, which made her heart race.

”What is he doing here?!”
