Mr Quan, Let’s Be Together From Now On

Chapter 55: Have You Ever Cared About Me?

The person who came barging in was Jiang Bangyuan.

She had seen the morning news early that morning and came over immediately to look for Quan Rui.

Jiang Bangyuan did not know Quan Rui well beyond his wealth and his appearance, so naturally, she had no idea that he hated being disturbed during his meals.

Otherwise, being the shrewd conniving person that she really was, she would never do anything that would make her lose Quan Rui’s favor.

Although the Jiang Family was a distinguished family in Sanjiang City, Quan Rui’s family was distinguished in the whole of Asia!

Even Jiang Bangyuan could tell who, of the two of them, had a higher status.

But if she hadn’t seen the news of Quan Rui withdrawing his investments in a subsidiary company of the Jiang Family that morning, she wouldn’t have even bothered rushing over so anxiously or insist on barging into the dining area despite the maids’ protests and attempts to restrain her.

When Jiang Bangyuan saw Quan Rui continue eating his breakfast peacefully, blatantly ignoring her, her fury burned indignantly. Stomping her way over to Quan Rui, she slammed the newspapers down in front of him and yelled, “Rui! Why did you withdraw your investments? Yesterday, you made a scene by behaving so intimately with that illegitimate daughter in the presence of so many important people. Now, this morning, I find out from the news that you’re withdrawing your investments. Do you even care about our arranged marriage at all? Have you ever cared about me?”

What Quan Rui had done yesterday was indeed inappropriate for a man who was betrothed, but Jiang Bangyuan had remained quiet and put up with it because she wanted to keep up her public image of a compassionate, elegant and respectable lady of class.

“But what’s the point of all that pretending to be magnanimous last night?

“Ultimately, Quan Rui still withdrew his investments the next day!”

Furthermore, the subsidiary company that Quan Rui had withdrawn his investments from was a new company that Jiang Bangyuan had started recently.

What Quan Rui had done was as good as giving Jiang Bangyuan a slap across the face.

She refused to put up with this mistreatment of her anymore and rushed over angrily and anxiously.

Quan Rui knew that Jiang Bangyuan would definitely come over here today, but he did not expect that she would show up so early. She also chose to arrive while he was having his breakfast.

Quan Rui hated being interrupted while he ate his meals. Furthermore, the person who barged in inappropriately also stood so close to him while he ate and yelled with such a loud voice.

Quan Rui frowned slightly and carefully placed his chopsticks down. He pushed the bowl of Yang Chun Noodles aside—even though he had not yet eaten—and wiped the back of his hands gently with a napkin before he looked up at Jiang Bangyuan.

“I thought that I’ve made myself very clear last night. I won’t marry you. There has never been a marriage agreement between us to speak of in the first place.”

His words came out as cold and distant as his current mood.

Quan Rui had always spoken to Jiang Bangyuan in that tone of voice in the past, so Jiang Bangyuan did not find him anymore agitated than usual.

She glared at him and frowned so hard that she could almost pinch a fly to death between her brows.

“Rui, stop acting out of a fit of pique. We have a prenatal marriage agreement. Besides, Bai Ran isn’t even a member of the Jiang Family, to begin with. She only seduced you because she wants your money. Her mother needs surgery, so she needs your money to pay off her medical bills. You know what a desperate woman like her would do for money, don’t you?” Jiang Bangyuan scolded him with thinly veiled impatience, which she considered far too patient already, all things considered.

But she had forgotten who Quan Rui was.

He was practically the crown prince of the Quan Family and he ruled over the businesses of Asia as he pleased. He was in control of the assets of thousands and millions of people. As long as he opened his mouth, with just a word, the thousands and millions of people would risk their lives for him.

He had even casually built up a powerful business empire in the meantime. The amount of wealth and assets that he owned was comparable to that of a country’s!

She still had a long way to go if she wanted to successfully curry favors from such a person.

Quan Rui narrowed his eyes and his cold vicious lips parted into a mocking smile. He tilted his head slightly before responding with a question, “How do you know that Bai Ran’s mother needs money for surgery?”
