Chapter 2840 Jiang Haokun's Feigned Indifference

"Jiang Haokun, what do you mean by that?" Gan Jingteng suddenly stood up, hands on his hips.

Tears welled in her eyes, and her lips were tightly pressed together, as if endless grievances were brewing in her heart. Anyone who didn't know better would think she had suffered some great injustice.

Her eyes held a hint of displeasure, her brows furrowed slightly, and her raised tone clearly indicated anger. "When did I mention the interior design plans?"

Is this how you treat me now?

"Jiang Haokun, I really misjudged you!"

"Alright, since it's not about the interior design drawings, then forget it!" Jiang Haokun leaned back in his chair with a half-smile, a sudden idea forming in his mind.

"We have nothing to hide from each other. I'll tell you something. The reason your design had problems is because the company is undergoing some business changes, and I, as the president and CEO, am now just a figurehead!"

"From now on, your studio's business will probably have to be self-reliant. Don't count on the Jiang Group anymore. Who knows, we might not even be able to live in the villa anymore, and then we'll have to rely on each other for survival."

"Jiang Haokun, what are you saying here?" Gan Jing sat down with a displeased expression. "Can you stop with your glib talk?"

"You think I'm joking with you?"

"I had a huge fight with my dad when I got home yesterday!"

"You really think I'm the boss of the company?" Jiang Haokun said, standing up and looking around the luxurious office. "The company was founded by the old man!"

"I'm just the Jiaqing Emperor, and there's still the Qianlong Emperor ruling from behind the curtain above me. Although I'm sitting here safely for now, who knows when I might be kicked out!"

"Huh?" Gan Jing's mouth gaped open, clearly shocked, but the next second he became impatient, displaying indifference and aloofness. "Jiang Haokun, stop talking nonsense!"

"None of your business matters to me. Whether you have money or not, how much money you have, or whether you're a decision-maker in the company—I don't care about any of that. All I care about now is whether you love me or not!"

Well, this person clearly doesn't believe it, but that makes sense!
According to normal people's thinking, Jiang himself is the sole heir of the Jiang family, so anything said now would probably be thought to be a conflict between father and son.

"Sigh~" Jiang Haokun sighed mysteriously.

"You're too naive, Gan Jing!"

"Do you really think the old man only has me as his son?"

"What...what do you mean by that?" Gan Jing frowned slightly, realizing there was a misunderstanding.

Women, they all like to imagine things!
As she began to connect the dots in her mind, everything gradually made sense. She had previously handled all the interior design work for the Jiang Group, so the sudden termination of the cooperation must mean there was something wrong.

Now it makes sense.

But... could it be that Grandpa Jiang has a son out of wedlock?

That can't be possible!

Because if Jiang Haokun really had any illegitimate children, he wouldn't have been able to become the CEO.

Gan Jing was in a state of utter confusion.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to tell you that we need to prepare for the worst. I might have to move to your place in a few days. The house I bought before wasn't a two-bedroom apartment, it's a bit small but it's just enough!"

That's right, Jiang Haokun also bought this house!
Even the car Gan Jing is driving now was bought for him by Jiang Haokun.

After all, following Lu Yuan for so many years, it's already quite good that they don't owe any money.

But Gan Jing was still reluctant to believe it.

Are we filming a TV series here?
"Jiang Haokun, can you stop playing house like a child? I've already told you, since I've decided on you, your poverty or wealth has nothing to do with me!"

Why does it always seem like I'm after your money?

Jiang Haokun was also helpless about this. What could he do if she didn't take the bait?

"Alright, since that's the case, you can pack up and get ready later. Consider it a heads-up so you won't be scrambling around later!"

"Hmph!" Gan Jing snorted heavily, his face clearly showing disbelief. He picked up his bag, stood up, and was about to leave the office.

But after taking only two steps, I realized something was wrong. What was she doing here?
I didn't mean to ask about the interior design plans! How did I just leave like that?

Thinking of this, he suddenly turned around and asked the most pressing question: "Jiang Haokun, do you have other women?"

"Gan Jing, what are you talking about?" Jiang Haokun felt a surge of anger rising within him.

But before he could even speak...

Gan Jing said, as if venting her frustration, "You don't have any other women, so why are you treating me like this?"

"We're both finished!"

"It's completely over between us!"

"I've used two years of my youth to test you, and now I've found that we're not a good match at all. So let's not waste each other's time. All I can do is wish you happiness!"

"You don't need to keep testing me with this. What about running out of money again? What about not being able to live in a big villa again? I, Gan Jing, have never relied on anyone all these years!"

"Goodbye, President Jiang!" Gan Jing said and left without hesitation, but his steps seemed to slow down intentionally, and his body trembled and tears streamed down his face as if he were pretending to be very sad.

One step, two steps, three steps...

Seeing that they were almost at the door, Gan Jing was heartbroken and furious. What was going on today? Why hadn't he said a word yet?

Little did they know that Jiang Haokun was sitting in a chair watching the show.

Wow, I played hard to get, and they pulled the same trick on me!
What? The student has surpassed the teacher!
Go ahead, if you've got the guts, then go!
Gan Jing was furious, but he was in a difficult position. He had said such hurtful things, and it would be incredibly embarrassing to turn back now.

In a fit of anger, he stormed out of the office and stomped his foot hard at the door.

snort!
She believed she could still control Jiang Haokun, after all, they had known each other for 20 years since she was 18. She thought he was playing hard to get and trying to take the initiative in their relationship.

Since that's the case, we're determined not to let him have his way!

……

One day, two days, three days.

Several days passed just like that.

Jiang Haokun's phone call with his mother seemed pointless; he remained invisible at work, operating normally as if it didn't matter who was in the CEO's office.

He was not in a hurry.

Let the bullets fly for a while~

Marriages in large families are not as harmonious as they appear on the surface, and the drama only shows a small part of it. The elderly couple in the Jiang family seem to treat each other with respect, but no one knows what they are really like.

Just like Jiang's father, he really didn't lie to Gan Jing. In his memory, there were indeed illegitimate children, and not just one or two!
The original owner wasn't stupid; she had already investigated everything clearly. In fact, apart from the naive and innocent Jiang Lai, even Jiang's mother probably knew everything, but she just pretended not to know.

Jiang Haokun was no longer in a hurry.

But some people were anxious. Gan Jing waited and waited at home, but Jiang Haokun never came to apologize. It was as if the two of them had gone back to the time before they officially started dating.

The Jiang Group was Gan Jing's design studio's biggest client, and its sudden disappearance caused widespread panic among its staff.

"Boss, what do we do now?"

"Yes, sis, why don't you call President Jiang and ask?"

"Sis, if this continues, we might not even be able to cover staff expenses next month."

The studio staff chatted amongst themselves, completely unaware that Gan Jing's expression had become quite unpleasant. This was because it had touched upon her fragile self-esteem; she considered herself an independent woman who didn't rely on anyone.

What, can't you live without Jiang Haokun?

She still lives a wonderful life!
