Strong and powerful

"If this is the case, then I can only expose you to everyone."

Chu Ao stared at Chu Jie, his eyes full of threats.

Chu Jie looked at Chu Ao in disbelief.

This jewelry design contest was promoted under the banner of fair selection at the very beginning, and now if it is directly revealed by the insiders to operate in secret, the reputation of the Chu family will be greatly damaged.

"Don't forget that you are also a member of the Chu family. If the Chu family collapses, your life will not be guaranteed!" Chu Jie raised his voice a lot.

"I can't just see her being treated so unfairly." Chu Ao said stubbornly.

Chu Jie and Chu Ao looked at each other, and the air between the two of them became anxious.

In the end, it was Chu Jie who compromised first, and shifted his gaze elsewhere.

"It's okay to let her win the championship, but she will sign an agreement with Shenghe Group at that time, and she cannot design jewelry for other jewelry brands. At the same time, we will pay her accordingly!" Chu Jie said.

Chu Ao knew that this was Chu Jie's biggest concession, after all, he invested a lot in this jewelry design competition.

Moreover, becoming the exclusive designer of a jewelry brand under the Shenghe Group is also a good choice for Jiang Yan.

"I'll ask her opinion." Chu Ao said.

Chu Ao checked the time, and Jiang Yan was about to wake up around this time.

This time he had important matters to discuss with Jiang Yan, and Li Tianye had no position to stop him.

Chu Ao drove back to the hotel where Jiang Yan was staying. After Li Tianye came out of Jiang Yan's bedroom, he did not leave immediately, but stayed in the living room of the suite.

Chu Ao knocked on the door and explained that he was looking for Jiang Yan, but the nurse who opened the door brought Li Tianye out without any surprise.

"Is she awake?" Chu Ao asked.

Li Tianye looked at Chu Ao and shook his head indifferently.

"It's been three hours, how could you still not wake up?" Chu Ao asked.

"You only sleep for three hours? Besides, she is a sick person and needs enough rest." Li Tianye said righteously.

Chu Ao wanted to refute, but what Li Tianye said made sense.

"I have something to tell her, you wake her up." Chu Ao said.

Li Tianye looked at Chu Ao indifferently.

"It's really selfish, the doctor has already said it." Li Tianye bit his teeth and said, "She needs to rest."

"I have something important to tell her."

"What's important, let's talk about it." Li Tianye said like a rascal.

"I can't tell you." Chu Ao refused bluntly.

"Li Tianye!" Chu Ao was completely enraged, and glared at Li Tianye angrily.

Such Li Tianye always made him feel insecure, as if something about him was about to be snatched away by him.

"You can't restrict Jiang Yan's personal freedom!"

Li Tianye laughed: "I didn't restrict her personal freedom, you can contact her by yourself."

Jiang Yan's bag had been kept in the living room of the suite, and her mobile phone was also inside, so Chu Ao couldn't get through to Jiang Yan's call at all.

Chu Ao knew that Li Tianye did it on purpose, but there was nothing he could do about it.

After all, the room card was in Li Tianye's hands, and the sound insulation of this suite was well done, so Jiang Yan couldn't hear him at all.

"You can trap her for a while, but you can't trap her for a lifetime. It's completely meaningless for you to do this." Chu Ao continued.

"How do you know I can't?"

Chu Ao was choked by Li Tianye's rhetorical question.

Li Tianye's words clearly showed that he was going to pursue Jiang Yan.

"You are already with Qiao Ruobai, so don't pester Jiang Yan anymore." Chu Ao continued.

"Then what if I'm not with Qiao Ruobai?" Li Tianye asked back.

Chu Ao was stunned for a moment, Li Tianye wasn't with Qiao Ruobai?
It doesn't look like Li Tianye is joking at all, if that's the case, then he has no chance at all.

"You...you are not with Qiao Ruobai?"

Chu Ao really couldn't think of anything else that would hinder Li Tianye and Jiang Yan from being together.

Li Tianye didn't answer Chu Ao's question, but asked Chu Ao instead.

"What about you, what's your relationship with Jiang Yan? You said I'd let you see her when you saw her?"

Li Tianye spoke aggressively.

Chu Ao gritted his teeth and looked at Li Tianye. He knew that Jiang Yan only regarded him as an ordinary friend in his heart, so even in front of Li Tianye, he couldn't admit anything casually.

"Are you his boyfriend?"

When Li Tianye asked this question, he already had a clear answer in his heart. If everyone in the chain were really together, Chu Ao couldn't help but say it just now.

But Chu Ao has not admitted it until now.

It means that the two people are not together yet, and the previous thing may just be a misunderstanding.

"Really?" Li Tianye pressed on every step, and asked again.

"We are ordinary friends." Chu Ao said.

The corner of Li Tianye's mouth curled into a triumphant smile, as if all the haze that had been suppressed in his heart for many days had been swept away.

"Go back, I didn't restrict her personal freedom, she has always been free." Li Tianye said.

"As for what you said to find her, I will pass it on to her. Whether she wants to contact you depends on her own wishes." Li Tianye said.

Chu Ao could see the pride in Li Tianye's eyes.

Chu Ao frowned, and suddenly had a feeling in his heart that Li Tianye's real purpose was not to prevent him from seeing Jiang Yan at all, but to force him to ask the sentence just now.

Chu Ao finally left.

Li Tianye turned around and returned to the suite, walked to the bedroom door, and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Jiang Yan saw Li Tianye, who had just said goodbye to her, reappeared in the room, and was stunned. Didn't he just leave?

"you……"

Before Jiang Yan's words came out, Li Tianye put Jiang Yan's bag beside her.

"Chu Ao came to you just now and asked you to call him back."

"understood."

Jiang Yan took out her mobile phone and dialed Chu Ao's number. When she heard the busy tone on the other side, she always felt something was wrong.

The call was quickly connected.

"Just now... Someone said you were looking for me?" Jiang Yan asked.

"Well, it's about the competition." Chu Ao said.

"Want to meet and talk?" Jiang Yan asked tentatively.

There was silence on the phone for a while before Chu Ao spoke.

"No, let's talk on the phone."

"Okay." Jiang Yan responded.

"You know the nature of this competition. It is mainly to promote our jewelry brand. I would like to ask if you would like to be a long-term cooperation designer of Shenghe Group."
