Chapter 51 Another Deal
Chapter 51 Another Deal
Sunlight streamed through the window and onto the bed, making Nina uncomfortable, so she shielded her eyes with her hands.
Turning her head to look beside her, she didn't see Chen Jiang. She could only pick up her phone and glance at the time, then couldn't help but groan in pain, "Damn it, it's almost eight o'clock..."
The hangover from last night still gave her a headache, and she seemed to have some weird dreams in the latter half of the night. After sleeping all night, she didn't seem as energetic as she did last night.
She got out of bed and realized she was only wearing underwear. She knew Chen Jiang must have helped her take it off, and a happy smile appeared on her lips... Although this relationship was full of monetary transactions and she expected to be treated badly, the result was completely the opposite of what she had anticipated.
Chen Jiang is a very good man. He doesn't drink excessively, doesn't hit people, and doesn't lose his temper easily. He also cares about her.
Over the past few days, Nina has occasionally had the illusion that she's not actually being kept, but is genuinely dating Chen Jiang... Thinking of this, Nina glanced at her phone, remembering her mother and father back home, and sighed softly:
"If only you...
Suddenly, footsteps sounded outside the door. Nina looked up and saw Chen Jiang push open the door. Seeing that she was awake, he smiled and said:
"You're awake... Let's come out and eat."
"I just went out and bought a lot of breakfast. After you eat, I'll take you and Margarita to the company."
"I asked around, and your work hours today are at noon, so you need to arrive at the company early."
"Okay, darling."
Nina rubbed her temples, then gave Chen Jiang a big smile, got off the bed, and walked barefoot out of the room into the living room.
She glanced around and was somewhat surprised to find that the room had been tidied up, even the floor had been mopped. She looked at Chen Jiang with some surprise:
"Honey, you cleaned the house, why didn't you call me?"
Chen Jiang smiled slightly, walked to the dining table, sat down, and pointed to Margarita beside him:
"You don't know me. I'm not that hardworking... Mary did all the work. I only buy breakfast."
"Hmph!" Margarita glanced at Chen Jiang, then at Nina, and turned her head away in annoyance.
"Oh... then it's alright."
Nina nodded in realization, then leaned over and gently hugged Chen Jiang's head, apologizing apologetically, "I'm sorry, darling, I didn't expect the wine you bought to be so far from home. I only meant to have a little, but I ended up drinking too much."
"It's nothing." Chen Jiang patted her small hand, took it and held it in his palm: "It's just a little drink, it's not a big deal, you don't need to apologize to me."
"You're so wonderful, darling..."
Nina was deeply moved and leaned down to kiss Chen Jiang.
Chen Jiang, however, felt somewhat helpless:
"You haven't washed up yet..."
"I'll go right now!"
Nina then remembered and quickly covered her mouth and went to wash up.
Seeing Nina close the bathroom door, Margarita, who had just looked annoyed, suddenly changed her expression and looked at Chen Jiang.
A hand silently slipped from under the table onto Chen Jiang's thigh, but before it could touch him twice, Chen Jiang grabbed it.
She looked up at Chen Jiang, only to find him frowning at her. Margarita pouted unhappily.
"You're really going to deny everything once you've done your job..."
"It's not like I took my pants off. If you want to hold someone accountable, you should look for yourself."
Chen Jiang remained expressionless, even though he wasn't entirely confident. He knew that if he backed down now, he would be at Margarita's mercy, so he didn't give her a friendly look at all.
"But you, I haven't settled accounts with you yet. You did something like this behind Nina's back, aren't you afraid she'll break off all ties with you?"
"I......"
Margarita never expected that Chen Jiang would turn the tables and make it seem like she was the only one who made a mistake when it was clearly a joint incident.
More importantly, that bastard was right; she was too drunk to think straight at the time, and now that the deed was done, she'd sobered up...
Besides, if she could really use this to rise to power, that would be fine, but Chen Jiang has no intention of being blackmailed by her at all... If she were to explode now, wouldn't she lose both her wife and her army?
But she's already gambled away all her chances of promotion!
After thinking about it, I realized that I absolutely couldn't let it go no matter what:
"I don't care... you at least have to compensate me. This is my first time, you absolutely can't just pretend nothing happened!"
Chen Jiang paused slightly, his brows furrowed, looking rather unapproachable.
He breathed a sigh of relief... In truth, he wasn't in the right either. If Margarita insisted on confronting him, he would get into trouble too, and more importantly, there would be no benefit for him.
But since Margarita has this attitude, it means that the other party's bottom line has been lowered a lot, so perhaps I can resolve this matter without spending much effort.
What I never expected was that after only a few days of making a fortune, he turned into a real scumbag... It's true what they say, money really does corrupt men; the ancients were right!
"So... do you want to treat yesterday's events as a simple transaction, or... something else?"
Chen Jiang's gaze fell on Margarita's face. Her beautiful face was now full of expressions, looking quite conflicted. He took the opportunity to add:
"If it's a one-time transaction, then I'll give you 300,000 as compensation for my mistake."
"If you want more, I can accept you... 30,000 yuan a month. Whenever you don't want it anymore, we can separate peacefully."
"..." Margarita fell silent, then after more than ten seconds suddenly asked, "So, Nina chose the second one?"
"More or less," Chen Jiang nodded slowly.
"Then I'll choose the second one too!"
Margarita gritted her teeth and made a decision.
Three hundred thousand is certainly a lot of money for her now, but she has already invested so much in herself in order to live the life of her dreams. It would be a complete failure to get this much money in return. She must get more from Chen Jiang!
"Okay, then that's settled."
Chen Jiang gave her a deep look, and felt completely relieved.
Since she's made this choice, this woman probably won't do anything more.
However, unlike Nina, this woman's ambition was practically written all over her face, so he couldn't treat her the same way he treated Nina; he had to be careful.
"Darling, Mary, why haven't you finished eating yet!"
Just then, Nina came out of the bathroom after washing up.
Seeing that the two hadn't finished breakfast, he was a little surprised, but he didn't mind and sat down at the table, picking up the Chinese breakfast that Chen Jiang had bought and starting to eat.
After noticing Chen Jiang looking at her, she gave him a bright smile.
"Eat slowly..."
Chen Jiang gave her a few words of advice and was about to pick up his breakfast to start eating when he suddenly felt something brush against his calf and then move upwards, ending up in a place it shouldn't have been.
Looking at Nina, I saw her diligently cooking.
Looking at Margarita, she seemed to be eating as well, but her body was swaying almost imperceptibly...
"Sigh..." Chen Jiang picked up his breakfast and brought it to his mouth, trying to hide his actions, but inwardly he sighed helplessly, "What a mess..."
