CHAPTER 487: CHAPTER 487

Liang Jinke was consumed by thoughts of the beauty he had just seen in the studio, who gave him the cold shoulder today. He imagined how things would change tomorrow when he became the studio’s general manager, with her clinging to his legs, refusing to let go.

But his pleasant daydreams were shattered by Jiang Weiwei’s cool voice.

"I can agree to the sports car, but working in our studio is absolutely out of the question."

Just by constantly calling her "sister Jiang Weiwei", Liang Jinke had zero chance of getting a job in the studio.

Moreover, Jiang Weiwei could see the lecherous look on Liang Jinke’s face and knew exactly why he wanted to work there.

She would never allow such a leech and scum to affect the normal operations of the studio.

But Liang Jinke was unhappy about her rejection: "But I really like Miss Zhang at the reception. I’ve never seen such a beautiful girl!"

Jiang Weiwei said, "I heard from your parents that you already have someone in mind for marriage!"

"That woman is ugly and short; what kind of marriage partner is she? I only chose her because of my job, which never allowed me to meet good-looking girls."

Liang Jinke added with a sleazy smile, "If you place me in your studio, sooner or later, Miss Zhang will be mine."

Jiang Weiwei thought about it; working in the studio was something she definitely couldn’t give to Liang Jinke, but regarding Miss Zhang...

"Our studio staff all possess a certain level of design knowledge. You’ve never been exposed to this field, and if I place you in the company, it’s bound to cause problems."

Seeing the displeasure in Liang Jinke’s triangular eyes, Jiang Weiwei added, "However, in the case of Miss Zhang, I can figure something out for you."

Thus, Liang Jinke’s eyes brightened with a hint of a smile: "That’s fine. Once I win over Miss Zhang, I can learn some design knowledge from her, and then it won’t be too late to work here."

Later on, Jiang Weiwei took Liang Jinke to pick up the car.

After being busy for most of the day, Jiang Weiwei managed to finally get rid of this plague-like Liang Jinke.

But she didn’t expect that as soon as she returned to the studio, the receptionist informed her, "Miss Jiang, a Miss Liang is looking for you."

Jiang Weiwei’s face instantly turned sour: "Another Liang?"

Hearing the surname Liang, Jiang Weiwei could almost guess it was Liang Xiaoshu from the Liang Family.

She really wondered if she had desecrated their Liang Family’s ancestors’ graves in her past life, for them to blackmail her like this.

Jiang Weiwei didn’t want to meet these leeches, but she was also afraid they would expose their blood relationship.

In the end, Jiang Weiwei met Liang Xiaoshu.

Liang Xiaoshu was still wearing a T-shirt discarded by Liang Jinke, looking malnourished and pale.

But the greed on her face was no less than that of the other three members of the Liang Family.

In the end, she demanded a small apartment of a few dozen square meters, a million in cash, and all the sample garments produced by Weifeng.

Jiang Weiwei agreed to all her demands.

Finally, after sending off the plague-like Liang Family, Jiang Weiwei hurried back to prepare for Weifeng’s new product launch.

Currently, Weifeng controlled the high ground in public opinion and was thriving, having nearly snatched all of Yunshang Imperial City branch’s business.

Especially the high-end private orders preferred by socialites and ladies of wealth, Jiang Weiwei was swamped with them over the week.

Whereas Yunshang’s storefront had few customers, let alone bespoke clients.

Jiang Weiwei even thought that if Weifeng continued to develop at this pace, it would soon become the leader of the fashion industry, completely replacing Yunshang.

By then, she, Jiang Weiwei, would be an internationally renowned designer and a heavyweight in the business world. She would no longer have to concern herself with the Jiang Family’s opinions, nor fear the Liang Family’s interference.

After breaking free from the expectations of the Jiang Family and the Liang Family, she had already prepared a speech script on how she would become clear-headed and independently strong in the future.

However, this evening, when Jiang Weiwei returned home, Jiang Tairan and Jiang Guosheng, along with others, were all sitting in the living room with rather unpleasant expressions.

But Jiang Weiwei was really tired today, just wanting to rest as soon as possible. She also thought that she had now become the one with the greatest potential for development among the Jiang Family members; she no longer needed to concern herself with their reactions.

So she merely greeted them and prepared to head back to her room to rest.

But at that moment, Jiang Tairan suddenly asked Jiang Weiwei, "Weiwei, do you know who I saw today?"

Jiang Weiwei’s steps faltered, and her heartbeat skipped a beat.

"Who did you see?"

In fact, Jiang Weiwei was quite afraid that Jiang Tairan had seen Jiang Moxi.

Her studio had indeed been doing quite well lately, but when compared to the Feng Family, which had been entrenched in the Emperor City for hundreds of years, it was still insignificant.

Jiang Weiwei thought, if Jiang Tairan did see Jiang Moxi, could it mean the end of her relationship with the Jiang Family as well?

Right now, Jiang Weiwei didn’t care about clinging to her identity as the Jiang Family’s daughter. She just didn’t want to be outdone by Jiang Moxi, to be overshadowed by her.

Yet Jiang Tairan told her, "I saw Wu Shirong. He was with a woman, and the two of them were exceptionally intimate in their actions and behavior."

Jiang Weiwei’s complexion shifted slightly.

Jiang Guosheng continued, "Weiwei, we all know you want to strive to make your studio successful, but you can’t devote all your time to it."

Grandma Du Yuke also chimed in, "That’s right, a woman ultimately needs to return to her family life. I think you better spend more time and keep Wu Shirong company."

Yu Man added, "You should allocate your time properly so that your career and love life don’t conflict."

Jiang Weiwei understood upon hearing this—they weren’t sleeping late at night for any reason other than to wait for her here, to push her to pay more attention to Wu Shirong, so that they could leverage him to establish a foothold in Emperor City?

Even though she had already hinted to them at the celebration party that Wu Shirong didn’t really respect her and wasn’t good to her.

Jiang Weiwei silently criticized this family of vampires, which, she realized, was no different from the Liang Family; they only wanted to profit from her.

If it weren’t for the upcoming Weifeng press conference, and she didn’t want to stir up too much trouble, Jiang Weiwei would truly like to sever all ties with them right now.

But she knew that on the day of the Weifeng press conference, Yunshang’s chief designer X would also release new works, and both of their designs might clash again.

Jiang Weiwei felt that at such times, she should avoid any negative publicity as much as possible.

Only then would all the netizens be able to concentrate their firepower and help her tackle designer X, achieving success for Weifeng.

As for Wu Shirong...

It was time for a clean break.

With that thought, Jiang Weiwei looked up again, her face already covered with tears, which made the Jiang Family members anxious.

Jiang Tairan and Du Yuke even hurriedly asked with concern, "Weiwei, what’s wrong?"

"Why the tears?"

Yu Man went straight to her, hugging Jiang Weiwei in her arms and tenderly wiping away her tears.

"Don’t cry, you can tell us what’s on your mind. Your parents and grandparents will always stand by your side," Jiang Guosheng said hastily.

And so, under the compassionate gaze of everyone, Jiang Weiwei sobbed.

"The truth is, I broke up with Shirong. He looks down on me, and even more on our Jiang Family. He even said in front of his friends that he was just playing around with me and would never marry me..."
