Gu Siheng frowned. He didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but his fiancée did, and she was really quite good at it.
"Who's that?"
Gu Siheng replied, "The new spokesperson for the company's project, Lin Jingru, a rising - star actress."
After saying that, Gu Siheng motioned for her to come in. When Lin Jingru passed by, even he, a layman, felt an inexplicable chill in the air.
"Mr. Gu, this is my schedule for the next announcement. I hope it won't clash with the time for shooting the advertisement for your company."
Gu Siheng nodded and looked at her with a bit more curiosity.
"The advertising director has already contacted your agent. You should check the process with them."
Hearing this, a flash of surprise crossed Lin Jingru's eyes. "Ah? My agent didn't tell me."
After saying that, she immediately took out her phone and started looking through her contacts.
Jiang Shang stood beside her and caught a glimpse of the phone screensaver. To her surprise, it was a well - known figure in the recent news.
She couldn't help but ask, "The person on your phone lock screen wallpaper looks familiar to me."
Lin Jingru was stunned for a moment, and her words carried a strange emotion.
"Oh, that's my boyfriend."
There was no intimacy or affection in her tone.
Jiang Shang stared at her face. Lin Jingru's face was deathly pale, even blush couldn't hide it. Staring at her for a while, Jiang Shang even seemed to see a hideous and terrifying woman's face.
The woman's face was so horrible that Jiang Shang couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine when observing her up close.
This actress's boyfriend was clearly the scumbag in the recent news who sponged off his wealthy partner!
Even after Lin Jingru left the office, Jiang Shang was still lost in her thoughts.
Gu Siheng tapped her on the back of the head to bring her back to her senses. "Ms. Jiang the fortune - teller, what did you find out?"
Jiang Shang was speechless, with a black line on her forehead. Could this man respect her profession a bit more?
Out of the spirit of "saving a life is better than building a seven - story pagoda", she didn't just walk away.
"I feel that there's a strong aura of resentment on her. She must be haunted by something."
"She doesn't look like a living person. It's more like her body has been taken over."
Seeing that the man didn't seem to take her words seriously at all, Jiang Shang resorted to her trump card in frustration.
"The vengeful ghost on her will affect your business and might even lead to the collapse of your company."
Gu Siheng curled his thin lips and suddenly changed the subject.
"Shangshang, are you helping me for my sake or for your own?"
Shangshang.
It was the first time he had called her that.
It was a common nickname, but when it came out of this man's mouth, it felt special.
Jiang Shang's heart skipped a beat. She didn't know if it was due to surprise or something else.
She composed herself and suddenly reached out her hand, catching the man off guard.
"I'll help both for you and for myself, but I need payment."
Even brothers should settle accounts clearly, not to mention an engaged couple.
Jiang Shang's money - loving nature was fully displayed.
Gu Siheng shook his head helplessly with a smile and took out his phone to transfer money to her.
He just couldn't resist her.
Just as Jiang Shang was about to take out her payment QR code to let her cash - cow pay, the office door knocked inappropriately again.
"Mr. Gu, someone specifically asked to see your fiancée."
Everyone took this title for granted, and Jiang Shang felt a bit uncomfortable.
"Who?"
"Master Pei, Pei Shangze."
An hour later, Jiang Shang finally showed up in the reception room.
Seeing Pei Shangze's figure, Jiang Shang couldn't help but feel disgusted. Memories of him colluding with the Jiang mother and daughter to scheme against her, as well as the memories of the years when the original owner was in a relationship with him, flashed through her mind.
She deliberately left him waiting for an hour, but this man still stubbornly waited there. Her intuition told her that it wasn't going to be a good thing.
When he saw her appear, Pei Shangze's eyes immediately lit up. He wanted to go up and hug her, but was suddenly stunned by the talisman paper that Jiang Shang took out of her pocket.
Jiang Shang played with the talisman paper indifferently, showing no lingering feelings for her ex - boyfriend.
"A week has passed. When will you transfer the ownership of that 30 - million - yuan villa to me?"
Pei Shangze forced a smile awkwardly. The talisman paper in Jiang Shang's hand scared half of his wits away.
He was really afraid of that truth - revealing talisman.
"Shangshang, these days I've reflected on myself. I've thought a lot. You've always been the one I love the most.
I just took a wrong turn. You agreed to the marriage alliance with the Gu family just to get back at me, right? Let's get back together, okay? After we get back together, we'll go to the civil affairs bureau to get married immediately. I won't let you suffer any more grievances!"
Pei Shangze patted his chest to guarantee, looking like a prodigal son returning to the right path.
Jiang Shang sneered. The promise was too big for her to believe.
"My engagement banquet with Gu Siheng is next week. If you want to come, I'll let you sit at the main table."
If you hadn't cheated on me and let me go, I wouldn't have had the chance to marry into the Gu family and leave the Jiang family.
The woman's words were full of sarcasm, and Pei Shangze was heart - broken.
"Shangshang, is there really no way to save our relationship—"
Before he could finish his sentence, Jiang Shang interrupted his entanglement with a warning.
"I'll give you three more days. If the property certificate of that villa doesn't reach me, you'll see a complete PPT of your bribery and embezzlement of company funds on all the media in Yuncheng."
Hearing this, a flash of venomous hatred crossed Pei Shangze's eyes.
You bitch, just because you've hooked up with the Gu family! You haven't married in yet, and nothing is set in stone!
You'll be mine sooner or later. Let's see how long you can be so arrogant!
Jiang Shang was about to leave after saying that. Pei Shangze gritted his teeth and finally presented the hidden property certificate reluctantly.
"Shangshang, actually I prepared it before I came."
The man's tone was full of piety, like a believer longing for the favor of a god.
"This isn't a breakup gift. It's an apology gift from me. You're just angry now. I won't give up on you."
Jiang Shang took the bright - red property certificate and looked at him coldly as he put on a show for her.
Didn't she know his calculations? The beads on his abacus were almost hitting her in the face.
She listened to the scumbag's confession boredly, and suddenly a tall figure flashed through her line of sight.
Through the glass window, she saw Lin Jingru chatting and laughing with someone at the front desk.
The strange cold and black aura on her had disappeared without a trace, as if the strange figure that had tiptoed through the office earlier wasn't her at all.
Jiang Shang frowned. What had happened to Lin Jingru?
It was related to her fiancé's company... Oh no, their joint property. So Jiang Shang paid extra attention.
Noticing her intense gaze, Pei Shangze stopped his words of reconciliation abruptly. He followed her gaze and tried to please her.
"Shangshang, are you curious about her? I have her contact information. Do you want it?"
Jiang Shang thought for a while. "Do you have her boyfriend's? I'm more interested in her boyfriend."
