I Am My Own Substitute Wife
Chapter 40 - Working Together
Translator: Lonelytree
Since Jiang Niansheng knocked him out at the bar, she had not seen him again. Jiang Niansheng was not expecting to run into him at the company.
Sheng Tianhong looked impatient, “Call me General Manager Sheng, who are you to call my name directly… Wait, it’s you!”
Jiang Niansheng didn’t want trouble so she lowered her head and tried to run.
“Trying to leave?” Sheng Tianhong blocked her way. “I know you. You were the one who covered me with a gunny sack and beat me up at the Liao family. Then we met at Moonlight too.”
“Sorry, you got the wrong person.”
“At Nan City, you’re the only person who dares to lay a finger on me, so I won’t get the wrong person!”
Since Sheng Tianhong remembered everything clearly, Jiang Niansheng had no choice but to admit, “Fine, that’s me. Do you want more beatings?”
Sheng Tianhong subconsciously shrunk back and then he remembered they were at Sheng Shi Group. He was the general manager here. He could summon the security with a word so what was there for him to be afraid of? So he straightened his back, “I see you have not learned your lesson. This time, I’ll settle the score with you!”
Sheng Tianhong was about to jump on Jiang Niansheng but before he could do anything, Yang Zhang stepped forward to kick him away.
Sheng Tianhong screamed.
“You should be gentler.” Jiang Niansheng tutted. “This is the Sheng family’s third young master. If you injure him, things are going to be so serious.”
Yang Zhang replied, “It’s my job to protect you. If anything happens, CEO Sheng will take care of it.”
“You… you…” Sheng Tianhong got up from the ground and pointed at the two of them. “Just you wait! Where are the security guards? Where the hell are they?!”
“Stop shouting, “Yang Zhang said. “This is Mrs. Sheng. Who dares to detain her?” Internally, he added, ‘Even Ceo Sheng can’t do anything to her.’
Sheng Tianhong was stunned.
Yang Zhang thought it mean Sheng Tianhong was scared. He waved his hands before the young man’s face. “If you know what’s good for you, then get lost. Don’t make me punish you again.”
“You’re Sheng Hanye’s new wife?” Sheng Tianhong looked at Jiang Niansheng in surprise. “But Sheng Hanye has caused your family’s destruction…”
“Third young master,” Jiang Niansheng quickly interrupted him. “Let’s talk in private.”
Sheng Tianhong had a suspicious look on his face. ‘This woman is not simple!’
Jiang Niansheng walked forward. “There are too many people here. It’s not convenient.”
He followed her out of Sheng Shi Group.
“What the hell are you doing?” Sheng Tianhong sized her up. “Sheng Hanye is your enemy. Why did you marry him?”
“It’s none of your business.”
“Is that so?” Although Sheng Tianhong was a wasteful young master, he was not stupid. “Then I shall go to ask Grandpa his opinion regarding this. Sheng Hanye has married an enemy to keep his side? How laughable!”
“Fine.” Jiang Niansheng laid out her cards. “If I don’t marry him, how will I have the chance to take revenge?”
Sheng Tianhong immediately understood. ‘She has gone so far for revenge?’
The way he looked at Jiang Niansheng changed.
“So, we’re on the same side after all.” Sheng Tianhong laughed, “Jiang Niansheng, a wise man doesn’t beat around the bush. My big brother and I have been fighting for power, and you clearly hate him, if the two of us worked together…”
It would be a matter of time before they took down Sheng Hanye!
Jiang Niansheng did not say a word.
“Do you think you can find a better ally? I’m a member of the Sheng family and you’re his wife. By joining forces, we can achieve twice the result with half the effort.”
“Let me think about it.”
Sheng Tianhong readily agreed. “Sure. How long do you need?”
“Until I’m ready to contact you.”
“I’ll wait for your good news,” Sheng Tianhong said. “I promise to let you successfully take revenge.”
Jiang Niansheng fell silent again.
Sheng Tianhong warned her, “Don’t play any tricks. If I find out you’re against me, I’ll tell Grandpa about the Jiang Family. Then you won’t even get close to Sheng Hanye, let alone take revenge.”
“I won’t betray you, we have a common enemy.” Jiang Niansheng replied. “I merely was wondering how to better cooperate with you.”
“Well, take your time.”
As Sheng Tianhong spoke, he reached out his hand to touch her.
Jiang Niansheng quickly moved away. The disgust on her face could not be hidden.
“Stop acting all high and mighty.” Sheng Tianhong chided. “You would let your enemy fuck you, I can’t even touch you?”
“Watch your mouth.” Jiang Niansheng’s expression instantly turned solemn.
Sheng Tianhong snorted disdainfully and left.
Jiang Niansheng stood where she was for a few minutes.
She had thought of cooperating with Sheng Tianhong in the past, but she did not expect he’d come to her first. He was pushing her revenge plot forward.
Even though Sheng Tianhong wasn’t capable, he was born into the right family. The identity of the third young master of the Sheng family could save a lot of trouble.
However…
Jiang Niansheng was confused. On one hand, she carried many secrets about Wen Wan, on the other hand, she had to consider the cooperation with Sheng Tianhong.
She had to think this through.
At the same moment, upstairs, in front of the French window, Sheng Hanye saw everything clearly. He saw Jiang Niansheng and Sheng Tianhong have their little talk.
He couldn’t imagine what would happen if they worked together.
“You haven’t given up on your revenge.” Sheng Hanye muttered to himself, “But why would you work with Sheng Tianhong?”
Disappointment flashed across his eyes as he stared at the tiny figure.
…
That night, at Sheng Manor, Jiang Niansheng pushed open the door to the master bedroom and saw Sheng Hanye standing at the end of the bed. In front of him were two shopping bags.
‘Aren’t these the belt and… underwear I bought today?’ After she fought Ye Ziya, Jiang Niansheng conveniently forgot about them. So why would they appear in the bedroom?
Sheng Hanye reached for them.
“Wait!” Jiang Niansheng rushed over. “These are things I bought. They are not for you.”
He raised his eyebrows. “They are yours?”
“Yes, I bought it at the mall today.”
Sheng Hanye smiled slightly. “But this is a men’s brand.”
“So?”
“So who did you buy them for?” His eyes glowed dangerously. “Huh?”
It was as if Jiang Niansheng said a name other than his, he would strangle her.
“For my brother.” Inspiration came and Jiang Niansheng answered, “Is there a problem with that?”
“Are you sure?”
She nodded. “Yes.”
“But, the shop assistant said that you bought these for your husband.” Sheng Hanye took a step forward and approached her. “Do you have any other husband?”
‘The damn shop assistant…’ If this was any other gift, she would have let it be. But there was the box of men’s underwear! She was embarrassed just thinking about it.
“Fine.” Jiang Niansheng admitted, “I… bought them for you.”
Sheng Hanye was in a very good mood. He grabbed the shopping bags and dumped all the contents out. Including the box of…
Men’s underwear.
