Chapter 59: Han Li’s Attitude
“Dignity is earned by oneself, not given by others. It seems you don’t know what you are, yet you still demand respect in front of me.
Han Cheng will be getting engaged in a few days. You’d better disappear on your own—otherwise, you won’t even know how you die.”
Han Li really did seem thirsty. Holding the peach soda, she actually opened it and took a big gulp.
Jiang Yu didn’t take it seriously. Han Cheng was rumored to be getting engaged every year, yet he had never actually gotten engaged once.
“Ji Xu said the same thing to me back then, but I’m still fine, still by Han Cheng’s side.
I know exactly what my status is. Even if Han Cheng gets engaged—or even married—I’ll still be by his side. A lover and a wife don’t conflict.
Sister, do you think my understanding of my own position is correct?”
“Heh. At least you have some self-awareness. Han Cheng is just playing with you. While you’re still alive, hurry up and take the money Han Cheng gave you and leave. Otherwise, you’ll have money but no life to spend it on, and regret will come too late.
This time, the girl Han Cheng is getting engaged to is far more powerful than Ji Xu’s family. Even Han Cheng won’t be able to defy it. If you don’t leave him early, that little girl’s methods will be far more vicious than that idiot Ji Xu’s.”
“Oh?” Jiang Yu raised his brows and took out his phone to start a video call with Han Cheng.
“Hey, baby, did you miss me?” The call connected quickly. Han Cheng’s syrupy voice made Han Li’s face darken even more.
“Han Cheng, your sister is at my place right now. She says you’re about to get engaged to a rich young lady with power and influence. Is that true?”
“My sister?”
“Yes, your sister.” Jiang Yu turned the camera around. Han Cheng saw Han Li’s gloomy face.
“Sis, what nonsense are you spouting again? Didn’t I tell you to wait for me? I said I’d bring Jiang Yu to see you.”
“You little bastard—this is the kind of trash you picked? Do you have any idea how arrogant he was to me just now? I told him to fetch me a bottle of soda and he wouldn’t even do it.
I’ve seen plenty like him. They’re all the same—after your money. Obedient in front of you, showing their true colors behind your back. Break it off with him right now and cleanly, or don’t call me your sister ever again.”
“Isn’t the soda in your hand?”
“That was fetched by his housekeeper.”
“Enough, Sis. Stop making trouble. I’m coming over right now.”
Han Cheng hung up the video call. Jiang Yu put his phone away and said to Han Li, “Han Cheng doesn’t admit he’s getting engaged. He’s good-looking—over the years plenty of girls and boys have chased after him. So which family’s daughter is it this time that’s taken a liking to him, and even has you helping her?”
“It doesn’t matter whether he admits it or not. This isn’t something he gets to decide.” Han Li continued through clenched teeth. “Come to think of it, we should be thanking you for this. If Han Cheng hadn’t gone and provoked the Zhuang family and the Wei family for your sake—causing the Zhuang and Wei families to join forces—and if he hadn’t offended the Ji family by rejecting Ji Xu because of you,
With the three families joining hands, Han Cheng simply can’t withstand them. Jiang Yu, if you really love Han Cheng, then leave him as soon as possible. Stop harming him.
Right now, he desperately needs a marriage alliance—someone who can help him fend off the retaliation from those three families. And you—you’ll only drag him down. You’re of no use to him at all.”
“Miss Han, dumping that blame on me is completely unreasonable. Han Cheng went after the Zhuang family because Zhuang Da wanted to swallow up the Han family. Han Cheng discovered it and counterattacked.
As for the Wei family, that was to avenge you, Miss Han. And rejecting Ji Xu—that’s between the two of them. I’m just a kept lover. Miss Han, aren’t you giving me far too much credit?”
