Cinderella Innocent and Boss Charming - Chapter 190

Chapter 190 He Liked Xia Xiaowan!
Shen Li had no choice but to persuade them separately. He began with Jiang Kaiwei first, “If she wants a refund, just let her do that. It’s not a big deal. Do you want to make fools of yourselves in public?!”

However, Jiang Kaiwei glared at him with a pair of red eyes. “It’s none of your business. Stay out of it!”

Even he couldn’t persuade him. Shen Li knew that Jiang Kaiwei was really angry. President Jiang was far beyond reasonable when enraged. Shen Li sighed and turned to Xia Xiaowan.

Xia Xiaowan also stared at him with a pair of red eyes, and she held a resolute attitude. “I must return these!”

Shen Li was surprised. He remembered that Xia Xiaowan used to be a reasonable girl. Why was she arguing with Jiang Kaiwei now? She should know what kind of man Jiang Kaiwei was. If she clashed head-on with him, both of them would suffer.

Helplessly, he moved aside and wanted to call someone for help. He did not dare to call Xia Nanze. If he came, he would probably fight to the death against Jiang Kaiwei. After thinking twice, he decided to call Gu Nianbin. After all, apart from Xia Nanze, Gu Nianbin was the second man in the city who cared about Xia Xiaowan. He actually had little selfish motives when he decided to call Gu Nianbin. He wanted to know Gu Nianbin’s attitude towards Xia Xiaowan. In fact, it had nothing to do with him when it came to whom Gu Nianbin would choose to be with. He just pitied Du Xiaoxian and didn’t want her to be dumped without knowing it.

When Gu Nianbin received the call, he was a little shocked. Xia Xiaowan had just separated with them, how did she get involved in a fight against Jiang Kaiwei in such a short time?

Seeing that his expression was serious, Du Xiaoxian asked, “What’s wrong?”

Gu Nianbin didn’t hide anything from her and told her what Shen Li said. Du Xiaoxian was also shocked. “Why would Miss Xia fight Mr. Jiang? Didn’t she like him before… Is she safe? You should go and take a look.”

Gu Nianbin did want to go. After all, it was a fight. If anything happened, it would be bad for both of them. However… he hesitated for a moment and said, “You should come with me.” The little girl was very sensitive when it came to Xia Xiaowan. He didn’t want to deepen the misunderstanding between them.

Du Xiaoxian seemed to know what he was thinking and nodded to agree.

Little Ding drove them to Jinxiu Department Store. When they got to the third floor, they saw that the security guards were blocking people from entering. Gu Nianbin couldn’t help but shake his head. Sometimes, Jiang Kaiwei was really childish. He would even put business aside when enraged.

Seeing that Gu Nianbin brought Du Xiaoxian over, Shen Li felt a little confused. The war here hadn’t stopped yet. He couldn’t afford another war!

Seeing Gu Nianbin come, Xia Xiaowan felt great grievances. Her eyes were glistening teardrops and she looked like she was about to cry.

After all, they grew up together. Even without love, their caring about each other was true. Gu Nianbin looked at Jiang Kaiwei coldly. “President Jiang, it’s not your style to make things difficult for a girl, is it?”

“What style?” Jiang Kaiwei sneered coldly. “Is it your style to stay with a girl while flirting with another?”

Xia Xiaowan glared at him angrily. “This is between you and me. Don’t you drag anyone else into this!”

“Why shouldn’t I drag someone else into this?” Jiang Kaiwei sneered again. “Feeling guilty already? Stealing someone else’s boyfriend upon getting back is your style, Xia Xiaowan, isn’t it?”

“What about you?” Xia Xiaowan also sneered. “Being unreasonable is your style, President Jiang!”

Shen Li tried to cool them down and joked, “Hey, are you guys competing in sentence-making here?”

But no one laughed. Du Xiaoxian, who had been silent all this while, suddenly said to Jiang Kaiwei, “Can’t you just let Miss Xia return what she bought? It won’t work if you two keep arguing like this.”

Jiang Kaiwei didn’t want to drag her into the war at first, but since she spoke up for Xia Xiaowan, she was seeking trouble for herself. He glanced at Xia Xiaowan, then looked at Du Xiaoxian, and then suddenly chuckled. “Du Xiaoxian, are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid? This Miss Xia is about to snatch Gu Nianbin from you, yet you still speak up for her? Are you out of your mind or what? You want to get along with her, but she doesn’t necessarily think the same way. Be smart. Don’t get yourself fooled without knowing it!”

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Gu Nianbin roared. Jiang Kaiwei had really gone too far. It was understandable if he bullied Xia Xiaowan. Why did he have a verbal attack on Du Xiaoxian?

“President Gu, are you afraid of being found out? Are you afraid that I’ll uncover everything about you two?” Jiang Kaiwei was raged. They had begun a quarrel anyway. It couldn’t have been worse. “I’m teaching the little girl to sharpen her eyes and not to be fooled. She can’t just be nice to the enemy. How stupid!”

“You bastard!” As long as Du Xiaoxian was involved, Gu Nianbin could not calm down. He rushed forward with anger and was about to fight Jiang Kaiwei. Shen Li and Xia Xiaowan hurriedly held him back. Shen Li regretted that he had called Gu Nianbin. He thought the latter could come and take Xia Xiaowan away. But before the war between Xia Xiaowan and Jiang Kaiwei was ended, President Gu joined the war.

President Jiang was not afraid of fighting Gu Nianbin. He shouted at Shen Li, “Let him fight. I’m not afraid of him.”

Shen Li wished he could throw out a shoe to knock Jiang Kaiwei down. He was struggling to hold Gu Nianbin back, but Jiang Kaiwei rushed forward fearlessly to stir up trouble. He was so anxious that he shouted at the staff who were watching fun around them, “Hurry up and stop him. Are you all dead?”

Du Xiaoxian moved faster than the staff. She was thin and small, and Jiang Kaiwei did not pay even the slightest attention to her. He raised his arm and walked forward, only to find that Du Xiaoxian was hanging on his arm.

Gu Nianbin was so angry that he cried out, “Put her down! Put her down!” President Gu hated it the most that Du Xiaoxian had anything to do with other men. How could he allow her to hang on Jiang Kaiwei’s arm in front of so many people?

However, Du Xiaoxian raised her little face and shouted at him righteously, “You take Miss Xia away first. I’ll stop him!”

It was clearly a very tense atmosphere, but Shen Li could not help but laugh. As he laughed, he was distracted a bit and lost half of the strength. Gu Nianbin broke away from his arms and rushed forward to take Du Xiaoxian back. However, Xia Xiaowan firmly hugged his waist and said, “Brother Nianbin, don’t fight this kind of man. It’s not worth it!”

Gu Nianbin couldn’t just shake her off and rushed forward with her. Seeing the two of them in such an intimate posture, Du Xiaoxian felt uncomfortable in her heart again. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she didn’t say anything. The four of them came up to face each other. The two girls were in the middle. Gu Nianbin and Jiang Kaiwei did not make any move in the end. They glared at each other with raging red eyes. Gu Nianbin grabbed Du Xiaoxian and held her in his arms before saying to Xia Xiaowan who was still hugging his waist, “Alright, let me go. I won’t fight him.”

Only then did Xia Xiaowan let him go. Gu Nianbin turned around and scolded her, “You shouldn’t tangle with him either. It’s just a small matter. Since he’s unwilling to let you return the bags, then forget it. I’ll compensate you with the money you lost.”

Xia Xiaowan glared at Jiang Kaiwei resentfully. Even though Gu Nianbin had been obedient to her in the past, when he got angry, she was still a little afraid. She remembered something happened a long time ago. When Gu Nianbin suddenly stopped singing anymore, she tried her best to get him to sing, but he refused. In the end, he was so annoyed by her that he finally scolded her with a straight face. After that, she did not dare to ask Gu Nianbin to sing again. It was also from then on that she knew that no matter how much Gu Nianbin liked her, he had his bottom lines.

In the end, Shen Li took Xia Xiaowan away, and Gu Nianbin left with Du Xiaoxian, leaving Jiang Kaiwei sitting in a lounge and smoking. The smoke curled up and he watched it absentmindedly. Only when the cigarette ash was more than an inch long and fell silently did he suddenly come back to himself. He stood up, threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray and went out.

Jiang Kaiwei walked straight to the surveillance room and had his men play the video backward to the moment he met Xia Xiaowan. The security manager did not know what the boss wanted to do, nor did he dare to ask. He stood aside respectfully and watched for a long time. Finally, he understood that Jiang Kaiwei wanted to watch the video recording Xia Xiaowan when she entered the store and before he conflicted with her. What the security manager didn’t understand was, what was the point for President Jiang to watch it so carefully? Did he try to find any clue from it? But Xia Xiaowan didn’t do anything out of line!

Jiang Kaiwei watched for a long time and said to the security manager, “Send all these videos to me in a compressed file.”

The security manager said yes respectfully. Although he didn’t know what Jiang Kaiwei wanted these videos for, his instincts told him that it was very important, so he planned to do it himself instead of assigning the task to others.

After sending Xia Xiaowan away, Shen Li went back to the lounge but did not see Jiang Kaiwei. He asked an employee and was told that Jiang Kaiwei had gone to the surveillance room. So he rushed over without stopping. The security manager was in the room alone and told him that President Jiang had just left. Shen Li found it strange. Why did Jiang Kaiwei stay in the surveillance room for so long? He asked the security manager and then became even more confused. What did Jiang Kaiwei want the video for? Did he still want to fight Xia Xiaowan?

The security manager sorted out the videos into a file and was about to send an email to Jiang Kaiwei when Shen Li said, “Don’t send emails. He always receives too many emails and may not be able to find it easily. Copy the videos into a USB drive. I’ll bring it to him.”

Since the general manager requested that, the security manager could only do as told. Shen Li took the small USB drive and thought along the way about why Jiang Kaiwei wanted this, but he didn’t figure it out.

Even when driving, he was wondering what happened to Jiang Kaiwei today. In the past, no matter how much he hated Xia Xiaowan, he wouldn’t fight her. He was domineering, but he got manners. Fighting a woman was indeed not his style!

Suddenly, a thought flashed out in his mind. It was like a high school physics experiment where a series of light bulbs instantly lit up. He parked at the roadside with a sharp brake. The puzzle that had been confusing him was solved at this moment. He finally understood!

Jiang Kaiwei did not like Gu Nianbin. He liked Xia Xiaowan! He liked Xia Xiaowan? Back in the old days, the two of them had made such a great scene, but he actually liked Xia Xiaowan? The discovery shocked Shen Li so much that he still couldn’t believe it. However, it was the only answer to those puzzles he previously had.

Over the years, Jiang Kaiwei had been making trouble for Gu Nianbin because of Xia Xiaowan. About the Xia Manyin incident, Jiang Kaiwei helped Gu Nianbin and it was also because of Xia Xiaowan. He was unhappy because Xia Manyin imitated Xia Xiaowan, and he spared no effort to destroy the Xia family because he wanted to punish Xia Manyin.

He kept saying that he hated Xia Xiaowan and had always gone against her. In fact, it was simply because he liked her! He was so childish that he didn’t know how to love someone? He didn’t know how to get along with her, which explained why he almost fought Xia Xiaowan without manners!

It had to be like this. It had to be like this. For some reason, Shen Li’s mood stirred and he drove towards the Jiang Group. He had to confirm his conjecture.
