Abstinence Pei, don't be too sweet when chasing your wife

Chapter 314 Jiang Xue's Doubts

A few days ago, for Jiang Xue, every time she saw her brother Jiang Chengjun, her heart felt like being pressed down by a huge rock, heavy and full of worries.

At that time, Jiang Chengjun was completely overwhelmed by the tremendous pressure brought by the company's funding gap, and he was in a desperate struggle.

The company's financial situation is extremely bad, like a dire building that is about to collapse in a storm and may collapse and turn into ruins at any time.

In order to fill the financial black hole that seemed to never be filled, Jiang Chengjun was like a machine wound up with a mad spring, running frantically day and night, without sleep, busy to exhaustion, both physically and mentally exhausted.

Jiang Xue still remembers that scene. That day, she went to the office to visit her brother with a worried look on her face.

The moment she opened the door, a strong and pungent smell of smoke and suffocating anxiety hit her in the face, making her frown.

What you see is a shocking mess.

The documents were scattered and piled up on the desk in a disorganized manner, as if they had been swept by a sudden storm, making it so messy that no one knew where to start.

The ashtray was filled with cigarette butts, like a small black mountain, highlighting the tremendous pressure the owner had been under during this period.

Jiang Chengjun was sitting in the center of the chaos, his eyes bloodshot, like a wounded beast, staring at the series of cold and heartless numbers on the computer screen that seemed to be mocking him mercilessly.

His fingers tapped mechanically on the keyboard, his movements stiff and numb, as if he was trying to forge a glimmer of hope from these heartless data.

His hair was as messy as dead grass, obviously it hadn't been taken care of for a long time. His face was full of fatigue and haggardness. Every wrinkle hid deep helplessness and despair, as if he had aged a dozen years overnight. The once high-spirited brother was no longer anywhere to be seen.

During that period, Jiang Chengjun fell into a state of madness and despair.

He kept shuttling between various social occasions like a helpless beggar, smiling and speaking humbly to every potential investor, humble enough to the dust.

He carefully put on a smile and said flattering words just to get some life-saving funds from the other party.

However, the reality is always extremely cruel, and what he gets in return are mostly cold rejections and contemptuous looks.

Every time he returned home, his steps were unsteady, like a lost soul, looking lonely and depressed.

Sometimes, he would sit alone in the dark living room, the air around him seemed to freeze, the silence was frightening. He smoked one cigarette after another, in the darkness, only the faint spark of the cigarette butt was flickering, accompanied by his heavy and helpless sigh.

Jiang Xue watched her brother being tortured beyond recognition, her heart filled with heartache and helplessness. The deep feeling of powerlessness made her eyes red, but she didn't know how to help him share this pain. She could only worry about him silently and pray secretly that the predicament would pass soon.

However, today, when Jiang Xue stepped into Jiang Chengjun's office again, the scene before her shocked her so much that she stood still, as if she had instantly entered a completely different world.

Jiang Chengjun was sitting leisurely at his desk, looking relaxed and comfortable, holding a cup of steaming coffee in his hand. The curling hot steam from the coffee added a bit of leisurely atmosphere to his whole person.

His face was filled with a confident smile, and his eyes revealed a kind of calmness and assurance, as if all problems had been easily resolved by him.

His hair was combed neatly, every strand was in good shape, and the well-tailored suit he wore made him look energetic and radiant.

Compared to the man who was overwhelmed by pressure and in a mess a while ago, he was now a completely different person. The office was also tidy and the files were neatly arranged. Everything seemed so harmonious and orderly, as if the previous chaos had never happened.

Jiang Xue stood at the door, stunned for a long while before coming to her senses.

She looked at Jiang Chengjun with confusion in her eyes and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with you? You were so worried about the funding a while ago, why do you seem like a different person today? Have you solved the funding problem?"

Jiang Chengjun put down his coffee cup, and the smile on his face became more mysterious. He stood up with a smile, walked briskly to Jiang Xue, patted her shoulder, and said mysteriously: "Xiaoxue, don't worry, ask yourself, I have arranged everything. Just wait for my good news peacefully."

Jiang Xue's eyes widened in disbelief. She asked anxiously, "Brother, what did you do? Please don't hide it from me. I've been worried to death for a while."

Jiang Chengjun smiled but said nothing, just shook his head gently, that smile was like a mysterious veil, making it hard to understand. He said: "Don't ask, you will know when the time comes. Anyway, trust me, this time it will be foolproof."

Jiang Xue looked at her brother's determined eyes, but the doubts in her heart grew like weeds and became increasingly intense.

She slowly sat down on the sofa, her brows tightly furrowed together to form a deep "川" character, and began to carefully think about her brother's changes.

"Brother, you really make me more worried. You have to tell me how you solved the funding problem? Did you find new investors, or is there any other way?"

Jiang Chengjun put his hands in his pockets, walked to the window, and looked out at the bustling street scene. The streets were crowded with cars and people, and it was noisy.

He was silent for a moment, then he slowly said, "Xiaoxue, there are some things that are better if you don't know. Just wait patiently, the company will be back to normal soon, and we won't have to worry about money anymore."

Jiang Xue stood up and walked quickly to Jiang Chengjun, her face full of anxiety. She said, "Brother, you are making me anxious. I am your sister. Is there anything you can't tell me? If you make any risky decisions, I can also help you with some advice."

"Xiaoxue, I know you are doing this for my own good. But it's really okay this time. I have thought it over carefully. Stop imagining it, go back and have a good rest, and wait for my good news." After hearing what Jiang Chengjun said, Jiang Xue sighed helplessly. She knew her brother too well. Once he decided on something, he would be like a stubborn bull and it would be difficult to change his mind.

But she always felt that there was something strange about this matter, and her brother's mysteriousness made her feel uneasy. "Brother, I still feel uneasy. If you encounter any difficulties, you must tell me and we can find a solution together. I'm really afraid that you will bear all the pressure alone and something will go wrong in the end."

Jiang Chengjun gently touched Jiang Xue's head and said, "Silly sister, what's wrong with me? Just put your mind at ease. Well, don't waste your time here with me, go back quickly." After coming out of the office, Jiang Xue couldn't calm down for a long time. The hustle and bustle around her formed a sharp contrast with her inner worries.

All I could think about was my brother's mysterious smile and his ambiguous answers.

She didn't understand what her brother's plan was. Had he really found the perfect solution, or was he hiding some unspeakable secret?

Jiang Xue's heart was filled with doubts and worries. This feeling was like a fog that enveloped her tightly and made her unable to see the road ahead.

She didn't know what was waiting for them in the future, and could only wait anxiously for her brother's "good news", hoping that everything would be resolved smoothly as her brother said. However, the deep uneasiness always lingered in her heart and could not be shaken off.
