Fang Mingxu knew that Jiang Shu had a very bad impression of him, and he wanted to slowly change Jiang Shu's view of him bit by bit.
But for some unknown reason, recently the officials and aristocrats in Beijing have suddenly been vying for marriage, and the threshold of the Jiang family has almost been stepped down.
Fang Mingxu panicked. He was afraid that if he didn't come to propose marriage, Jiang Shu would become someone else's wife, and he would never have a chance again.
Pursing his lips, Fang Mingxu said bluntly: "I know that many people have come to ask for marriage in the past few days, but they are all seeking marriage for profit, but I am sincere and have nothing in mind."
"Are you sincere in empty words?" Jiang Shu raised his eyebrows and sneered coldly.
Fang Mingxu was suffocated, and took out a few shop deeds from his arms: "I would like to be married to the ten salt shops of the Fang family."
The salt industry was different from other industries. It required permission from the imperial court to operate. It was a monopoly business and extremely profitable.
The profits of ten salt shops are equivalent to the revenue of Jiang Ji's three-story store.
Fang Mingxu's move was indeed a big investment.
But Jiang Shu just glanced at the shop deed in his hand and said nonchalantly: "I'm not interested in Fang's salt shop."
The Jiang family has a huge industry. As long as it is managed properly and it can be squandered for generations, why do they need to get involved in the salt industry?
She is not as greedy as Fang Mingxu.
Furthermore, husband and wife are one. If she really marries Fang Mingxu, given Fang Mingxu's profit-oriented character, she will definitely let her help him expand other industries.
Based on this calculation, Fang Mingxu will not lose anything.
He is indeed a shrewd businessman with good calculation skills.
Looking at Jiang Shu's cold, slightly sarcastic face, Fang Mingxu's heart suffocated, and he understood that Jiang Shu was very concerned about his previous actions.
There was a lump in his throat, and he said with difficulty: "It was my fault in the past. I didn't know I would meet you. If I had known this earlier, I would never have done anything to Jiang Ji."
Jiang Shu raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Do you regret that you shouldn't have attacked Jiang Ji? Or do you regret that you shouldn't have used shameless means?"
"Is there any difference?" Fang Mingxu was confused.
"Of course." Jiang Shu looked at him with bright eyes, and said solemnly: "If it's the former, you only regret it because of me, but you don't really realize your mistake. You will still use this method to treat other people in the future."
"Did I make a mistake?" Jiang Shu looked directly into Fang Mingxu's eyes, not allowing him to avoid lying.
Fang Mingxu's palms tightened, unable to refute.
In his opinion, although his method of dealing with Jiang Ji was disgraceful, it did not violate the law and was understandable.
Silence is the best answer.
A sarcastic smile appeared on Jiang Shu's lips: "Only for this reason, our concepts are very different, and we are not from the same place."
Whether you are doing business or being a human being, you can use means. But we should be aboveboard, not dirty and shameless, and we should not cross the moral bottom line.
"I can change it." Fang Mingxu gritted his teeth and compromised.
Jiang Shu asked again: "What about your beautiful concubines and children?"
"It is wrong to have a concubine before the first wife is married. It is disrespectful to have a concubine before the first wife enters the house."
"In your eyes, women are just your accessories. You have never thought of respecting your wife."
Fang Mingxu was stunned when he heard this.
As Jiang Shu said, he had never thought about this. Facing Jiang Shu's penetrating eyes, Fang Mingxu felt that he had nowhere to hide.
After a long moment of silence, Fang Mingxu said in a hoarse voice, "If you don't like them, I can send them away."
Jiang Shu shook his head and said solemnly: "Boss Fang, a person's past rights and wrongs cannot be erased by turning a blind eye."
"No matter what the reason is, people must pay the price and bear the consequences for what they do."
"The prodigal should turn back, but that doesn't mean he should be forgiven."
Every word Jiang Shu said penetrated Fang Mingxu's chest like a sharp arrow, leaving him speechless and with sharp pain in his heart.
He looked at Jiang Shu who was close at hand but out of reach, and asked in a deep voice: "So no matter what I do, I can't get your forgiveness?"
"Does it matter whether I forgive or not? You have always lived for yourself, and there will be other women without me." Jiang Shu spoke sharply.
Fang Mingxu felt that his chest was pierced by a sharp arrow again, and the pain made him unable to breathe.
He understood that he would never get Jiang Shu.
In this case, then keep some dignity for yourself and leave with dignity.
"Excuse me." Fang Mingxu smiled warmly and cupped his hands, stood up and left.
Looking at his tall and strong but lonely back, Jiang Shu frowned and said: "There are thousands of women in the world, and Boss Fang will meet a beautiful woman who likes you."
Regardless of anything else, Fang Mingxu came here to sincerely ask for marriage. Even if she refused, she should still treat him with some dignity.
Fang Mingxu's body trembled when he heard this, and he said warmly: "Thank you very much."
After saying that, Fang Mingxu left quickly without looking back.
Jiang Shu knew that he would not pester her anymore.
With a long sigh of relief, Jiang Shu went to Jiang's father and mother's yard.
He has been bedridden for two or three months, and Father Jiang's buttocks are hurting. Now he is lying on the bed, muttering for Mother Jiang to massage him.
There were no servants in the house. Mother Jiang was rubbing Father Jiang's buttocks while mumbling worriedly.
"Boss Fang looks very determined. I wonder if Shuer can send him away."
Jiang's father snorted: "He also has a lot of face. With what he has done, it is impossible for Shu'er to marry him."
Having been in business for many years, Jiang's father had met Fang Mingxu.
Although he looks handsome, elegant and gentle as the wind, he is actually a wolf in sheep's clothing.
If such a person becomes the person to sleep with, I am afraid it will be difficult to sleep peacefully every night.
"Dad, Mom." Jiang Shu called softly as he entered the room.
When Jiang's father, who was lying on the bed, heard this, he quickly asked Jiang's mother to stop, and turned over with a blushing face in embarrassment.
"Boss Fang is gone?" Mother Jiang asked.
Jiang Shu nodded: "Let's go."
"How did you send him away?" Mother Jiang was surprised.
She even said that Fang Mingxu wouldn't leave even if she fucked him. Why did Jiang Shu solve it so quickly?
Looking at Jiang's mother's expectant and curious eyes, Jiang Shuying lightly opened her lips and uttered two words: "Be reasonable."
Mother Jiang: "..."
"How did you say it?" Jiang's father was also curious and insisted on asking clearly.
Jiang Shu had no choice but to tell him.
Jiang's father was very impressed after hearing this: "What Shu'er said does make sense."
Jiang's mother was also full of admiration and felt that her daughter was much better than her.
But thinking about Jiang Shu's lifelong events, Jiang's mother was still worried: "Recently, many people have come to propose marriage. Even Boss Fang is afraid that you will be snatched away and come to propose marriage. Why is there no movement from King Jing?"
"Yes, Shu'er, you said that you two are in love, and he promised to marry you as his concubine. There has been such a big commotion these days, why doesn't he react at all?" Father Jiang frowned.
It is true that Yu Zheng was a debt of gratitude to the Jiang family for saving his life, but one code must be treated as another. If he really has feelings for Jiang Shu, he should show his attitude.
Seeing that his parents were very critical of Yu Zheng, Jiang Shu couldn't laugh or cry: "He is not going to Beijing."
"Where was he at such an important time!" Jiang's father shook his beard to express his dissatisfaction.
Jiang Shu sighed softly and said, "He led the troops to suppress the bandits."
When Father Jiang and Mother Jiang heard this, the anger in their hearts disappeared silently.
As a prince, Yu Zheng is responsible for the lives of all people, so he should put government affairs first and have nothing to say about it.
After a pause, Mother Jiang asked, "Then when will he come back?"
