Chapter 50 - Finally Met Each Other (1/2)

As he said to Xie Na, he really wanted to meet the other person who bankrupted the LongFeng Group, and this was the reason why he chose not to immediately leave this world when the options popped up in front of him.

That evening, at the place where he and Xie Na reunited after two years, Jiang Li watched as a woman unmatched in both grace and appearance walked towards the table he had reserved. Her eyes were also on him, ignoring the flowers and other decors she should have focused on atop the sophisticated table.

It was Zhu Li who looked so mature yet dazzling in her simple red dress.

Of course, Jiang Li actually never cared about the woman's looks. He was more impressed by her punctuality. The time they agreed on was 7 pm. Yet here she was, ten minutes early.

Jiang Li stood up from his seat and pulled out a chair for her. Zhu Li stared blankly at him for a while before smiling and expressing her gratitude.

After they were done with the pleasantries and the orders, the woman who sat across him once again smiled politely at him and said, ”I am very flattered to meet you, Mr. Jiang. I think this is our first time speaking with each other up close.”

”I'm a businessman so my brain's quite sharp. We talked to each other two years ago, in a party, before we graduated,” he replied while measuring the other out.

In his mind, when he started thinking about it, the girl was actually weird because, in this lifetime, none of her actions coincided with the past one. All the alterations seemed to have started with her. Did everything change because he was not the 'Jiang Li' she was supposed to like?

'Most likely.'

”That really happened.” Zhu Li's gaze flickered to the petals of the flowers in the vase. She jokingly, asked, ”By the way, Mr. Jiang. I'm sure you know that I am someone who just recently called off my engagement, right? You're the Golden Bachelor of our country. What if you get into a dating scandal with me due to this dinner?”

The man laughed. ”Who cares?”

Zhu Li got mildly surprised, not expecting him to be this carefree. As for the man, he merely thought, why would he care when this was already his last day in this world?

Jiang Li quickly followed up, ”Speaking of engagement, you reminded me of my objective for this meeting.” He paused and showed a boyish grin, ”I didn't know that you also have a deep grudge with that family. You've hidden yourself deeply.”

”How about you, Mr. Jiang?” The smile on her cherry lips did not vanish.

The man naturally did not answer. How would he answer it anyway? He didn't really have a grudge against Cheng Yijun. That man just happened to be a blockage to his path, and he was not a good man, hence Jiang Li conveniently toyed with him and used him to complete his mission.

The food finally arrived. The two smiled to each other as they ate, and in this fashion, they finished eating.

No more words were exchanged between them, probably apart from the woman somehow making comments about his cufflinks. That's it. It was very formal. The man acted normal even when he escorted the woman out.

'The Original Jiang Li's family is more or less settled. The cousin is alright. The second household too is sorted out and pushed out of the company.'

'Business is going okay. The professor is probably going to help out the Original once he takes over again.'
