He looked so exquisite that it made others feel inferior. However, his wet hair made him look a bit more lively.
He looked at Gu Xiang and said, “Come on in.”
His voice was very calm and it sounded gentle. Jiang Chi was a doctor and he gave off a kind of vibe that made others feel reassured around him. Gu Xiang followed him in and saw that he had sat down on the sofa. His room was very big but he seldom stayed here.
As a grown man, he always needed some freedom.
It was fine that he did not have enough freedom at home, but they also always rushed him to get married. Today, he returned purely because the Old Master had told him to. But Jiang Chi was rather rational. He knew that even if he ignored the person who he had married, it would not be a problem. She even came to his house today.
Gu Xiang had thought that he would be cold and ignore her like he did the previous day but she did not expect him to look so much more approachable. Gu Xiang looked at him and walked over to sit down.
Jiang Chi looked her over. She couldn’t be sure but she always felt that when he looked at her, he always did so with some sympathy in his eyes.
He said, “Whoever marries into this family does it either for money or for their future. What are you here for?”
His words were so straightforward that it made Gu Xiang feel like she was being objectified. But upon further thought, wasn’t it true? When she married into this family, the Jiang family had helped the Meng family. She had married into this family for the Meng family.
It was just that the Jiang family had been careful not to mention this. However, Mr. Jiang was very astute.
Gu Xiang looked at him and laughed, “Of course… For money and also for my future.”
What else could it be? For him? Someone who never took her seriously and treated her coldly?
Jiang Chi looked at Gu Xiang and recalled how she had hit the mistress as well as the words that she had said… Back then, he had thought that she was someone with a personality but now it seemed like she was no different from that mistress.
Aren’t they all doing things for money? But others tended to put on a show and never spoke so straightforwardly. Yet, she did not hide anything at all.
Jiang Chi said, “Since you have already said so, fine. In the future, care less about my matters and just please my Grandpa. This is what you should do as Mrs. Jiang.”
He totally sounded like he was educating her. He totally treated her like a tool.
Gu Xiang looked at him and did not feel angry in the slightest. After all, it would be a real problem if he really had eyes for her!
She said, “Mr. Jiang, do you mean that in the future, we will live separate lives?”
Jiang Chi answered, “I hate troublesome women.”
Troublesome women? Was he referring to her?
Gu Xiang looked at the man before him and realized that her husband really despised her.
…
There were many people in the dining hall. Lunch was very luxurious and there were all sorts of foods available. Gu Xiang sat beside Jiang Chi with a pair of chopsticks in hand. She picked up some cold dishes in front of her and ate in silence.
She had spoken a few sentences with Jiang Chi upstairs and before he went to make a phone call. He was really very busy. Even on his off day he kept making phone calls. She played with her phone for a while before the two of them went downstairs.
After the two talked frankly, Gu Xiang was sure that he felt the same about her and had no interest in the marriage. She was relaxed after that and she was ready to go and do her own things after the meal.
