Chapter 282: Chapter 282: Slap in the Face (5)

Qin Jingchen’s insight was astonishing; Jiang Zhe knew he couldn’t conceal anything from him and explained, "He was wearing this smartwatch the night he got injured, but it was broken in the fall. I’m checking to see if I can find any evidence."

Qin Jingchen then sat beside her to watch her work.

If the smartwatch hadn’t been turned on at the time, it would be very difficult to gather any useful data.

Jiang Zhe could only gamble that some functions of the smartwatch had been operating in the background and were able to record some information from the scene.

Although, it might be very fuzzy.

After working on it for a while, she found that the background mode for the camera feature was activated.

However, a component of the watch was broken.

The components of the watch were too delicate, necessitating specialized tools for repair.

"I’ll have Qin He fetch the tools from the car," Qin Jingchen said softly.

Upon receiving the order, Qin He quickly went down.

Jiang Zhe could only wait a little longer.

Deep down she knew it was the handy work of Jiang Fanyue, but she still needed this evidence.

Fen Ye heard the name Jiang Yunxuan and said, "You mention Yunxuan’s eyes have healed so long ago, why does he still look so downcast? He wasn’t like this before."

Xia Enci immediately said, "How can he be in a good mood? Just seeing Jiang Fanyue’s insufferable demeanor tells me how oppressed he must be living at home every day."

"Yes, I once saw their family at the school. Even though Yunxuan is quite lively and cheerful, how can he not be affected when living with those kinds of family members all the time?" Xiao Meng had the most say about the influence of family.

These words stung Jiang Zhe.

She got up and said, "I’m going out for some air."

Seeing Qin Jingchen about to rise too, she said, "No one follow me."

Qin Jingchen paused in his steps.

After Jiang Zhe went out, she chose a well-ventilated balcony and popped a piece of chewing gum into her mouth.

As she chewed, she slowly became resolute about some matters.

Gu Jiaheng and Han Jiayan came out of the private room together.

Han Jiayan whispered, "Can Jiang Zhe really solve this issue?"

The Gu Family had also invested a lot of money in Jiang Fanyue’s fashion venture, and this loss would mean Han Jiayan would have to bear some of that loss as well.

But it was her own decision to invest that money. Seeing Jiang Fanyue crying so pitifully just now, she didn’t have the heart to say anything, so she stepped out to relieve the awkwardness.

"Her connections with the event organizers are good; she can definitely sort it out," Gu Jiaheng said.

Han Jiayan asked him, "Will she agree?"

"I think if I personally ask her, and if we are together, she will certainly agree," Gu Jiaheng said in a deep voice.

This was the favor Jiang Fanyue had asked of him—to forsake him and let him be with Jiang Zhe in exchange for Jiang Zhe’s help in recovering from this setback.

When Gu Jiaheng first heard this, he didn’t even consider why Jiang Fanyue might think this way; all he thought about was one outcome—if Jiang Zhe really agreed, he found himself not averse to it.

Even though he’d always disliked the messy tactics Jiang Zhe used to draw his attention and had always looked down on her,

the thought of being together with her surprisingly filled Gu Jiaheng with delight.

He couldn’t recall when this idea had taken root, only that this flutter of excitement was unstoppable.

Han Jiayan, watching the expression on her son’s face, understood a bit more; this plan might not just be Jiang Fanyue’s idea—it seemed her son was quite willing as well.

If it had been before, she really disliked any involvement between her son and Jiang Zhe.

But as time changed, with every encounter Han Jiayan had with Jiang Zhe, her resolve wavered further.

The attractive qualities hidden in Jiang Zhe began to sway her into changing her mind.

"Since you’ve decided, then let it be," Han Jiayan said gently as she looked at her son. Jiang Zhe’s appearance was indeed a match for her son’s, "Go, I believe Jiang Zhe will definitely agree."

Gu Jiaheng was also very confident.

Just now, as he arrived, he had seen Jiang Zhe standing on the balcony.

If it wasn’t for Jiang Zhe having intentions, what else could explain such a coincidence?

He walked towards Jiang Zhe.

The evening breeze just happened to lift Jiang Zhe’s long hair, standing on the balcony, her school uniform only adding to her beauty’s purity, without diminishing its stunning magnitude.

Her cold eyes also incited a nameless desire to conquer within him.

Looking back over this period, Jiang Zhe’s beauty had remained unscathed, what he had continually detested was precisely her cold aloofness and her air of being just out of reach.

Compared to Jiang Fanyue’s gentleness and submissiveness, Jiang Zhe had indeed displeased him.

But all his displeasure must yield to beauty.

He walked towards Jiang Zhe.

Jiang Zhe paid no attention to anyone or anything else, the chewing gum in her mouth had already lost its sweetness, and as she was about to turn around and leave, she saw Gu Jiaheng.

Her eyes grew even colder.

"Jiang Zhe," Gu Jiaheng approached her.

He had dressed up specially today, wearing a custom-tailored suit, with hair finely trimmed and styled, presumably looking handsomer and more mature than usual.

Jiang Zhe surveyed him, her eyes clearing slightly as though she had just recognized him.

Gu Jiaheng didn’t mind the excessive pride and disdain in her demeanor, and said softly, "Why are you here alone?"

"Is there something you want?" Jiang Zhe replied impatiently, even more so than usual.

But the greater the impatience, the stronger the sense of aloof beauty.

Gu Jiaheng’s eyes couldn’t move away from her face, he smiled and said, "Can’t I come find you without a reason? Does our relationship always have to be like this?"

Jiang Zhe snorted, and Gu Jiaheng earnestly said, "Jiang Zhe, I was wrong before, I never understood your feelings for me. Now, I have finally realized what I think about you. Can you give me another chance?"

A look of doubt flashed through Jiang Zhe’s beautiful eyes.

More than that, it was loathing.

She looked at Gu Jiaheng.

Gu Jiaheng made his intentions clear, "I know I was really bad in the past, I’ve done a lot of things to hurt your feelings. But there won’t be any more from now on, Jiang Zhe, let’s be together."

Jiang Zhe finally understood, and felt even the taste of the chewing gum turn awful.

What bullshit was he speaking?

"It doesn’t matter if you can accept it right now or not, I will give you time to consider it slowly. As long as you promise me, I will treat you well in the future, and I promise not to get entangled with other women. I’ll give you time to think about it."

Jiang Zhe sneered in anger, "I’ve never liked you, okay?"

Gu Jiaheng took it as her being capricious, even when she was throwing a fit, she was so cute; he smiled, "It’s okay, I’ll wait for you. If you’re willing now, I’m in the private room over there having dinner, just come over later. If you’re willing later, that’s fine too, I can wait."
