"Mr. Smith's reputation is resounding in the financial world. Although I have just come to the United States, I have heard about your entrepreneurial story in our country." I thought my answer was fluent, without any flaws.

But Qiaorel's eyes flickered with probing, which made me feel a little panicked. I subconsciously searched for Su Yu in the crowd with my peripheral vision, but I didn't see him.

"Since Miss knows me, I haven't asked Miss your name yet."

"Ruan Shi." My answer was a little absent-minded, and I always felt that it was abnormal for someone as big as Jorel to suddenly approach me, a newcomer who had just arrived.

Jorel read my name lightly, and continued to ask: "What industry are you engaged in in the United States, maybe I can help you."

I was at a loss for words for a while, Su Yu and I didn't set this point, in order to avoid cheating, I had to tell the truth.

"I just arrived in the United States, and I don't know much about the situation here." I smiled awkwardly, "I'm still investigating various industries."

Jorel raised his eyebrows and handed me a business card, "If you are interested, you can come to work in our group, and I can give you a position as an executive."

I froze in astonishment, and was momentarily at a loss for the olive branch suddenly thrown by Jorel.

These are completely unexpected.

Looking at Jorel's fiery eyes, I suddenly trembled in my heart, and some bad intentions appeared in my mind, and I was immediately full of vigilance towards Jorel.

I didn't pick up the business card, but politely declined: "Thank you Mr. Smith for your love, but I want to work hard on my own ability."

"I'm going to the bathroom, I wish you a good time at the banquet." I stood up, made an excuse and left in a hurry.

The encounter with Jorel made all my nerves tense, and after I left, I hid in the car, recalling the way Jorel looked at me just now, and I felt a chill down my spine.

But after a while, Su Yu also got into the car. I was about to tell him about the experience just now, but he spoke first.

"Meet Jorel, right? Seeing that you are acting a little flustered." His tone was indifferent, as if he had expected that I would meet Jorel.

I looked at him in amazement, with a hint of complaint in my tone: "You saw it all? Then why didn't you come over?"

"If I go over and Jorel suspects our relationship, he will leave immediately."

Seeing that Su Yu seemed to know Qiaorel very well, I felt more and more weird.

I grabbed his arm and stared at him angrily, "Su Yu, are you hiding something from me about Qiaorel? You expected that Qiaorel would talk to me when he saw me, right?" no?"

Su Yu looked down at my hand holding his arm, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, "Xiaoshi, you have to learn to be calm. The real strong will not show their emotions and anger."

I can't control these at all now, I just want to ask the truth.

"you answer me!"

Su Yu gave a faint "hmm" and explained unhurriedly: "Although Jorel was betrayed by his ex-wife, he has always loved his ex-wife deeply, and you happen to be seven times the same in appearance as his ex-wife." resemblance."

Only then did I suddenly understand why Qiaorel looked at me with an inexplicable emotion in his eyes.

The next second, I realized something, and regardless of the sharpness of my words, I asked bluntly: "So, you asked me to accompany you to the banquet, but the real purpose is for me to hook up with Qiaorel?"

Su Yu frowned, "Don't use such ugly words. I'm trying to win over your backers. With Jorel's strength and connections, he can help a company come back to life with just a simple move."

"If you want to gain a firm foothold in the United States, you must either have a strong backing or strong strength."

I was dumbfounded, unable to refute Su Yu's words.

But Jorel's business card has already been rejected by me, I'm afraid Su Yu's plan will come to nothing.

Su Yu didn't take it seriously, and said confidently: "But it's a good thing that you didn't accept Qiaorel's business card today, otherwise Qiaorel will immediately think that you are a woman who is greedy for his money and power, and only by playing hard to catch can you attract men more." interest of."

Hearing those words come out of his mouth made me uncomfortable.I secretly looked at Su Yu, and always felt that I was like the second Yu Chenjun, a pawn being used by him and at his mercy.

Although he keeps saying that he is planning for my future...

Back at the villa, I didn't say a word to Su Yuduo, I just went back to the room.

The servant has put away all the bath water, so I changed out of my dress, took a bath, and planned to rest.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and the servant said softly: "Miss Ruan, sir asked the kitchen to cook supper, please go down and eat."

"I don't have an appetite, I'm going to rest." I refused coldly, but in fact I didn't want to see Su Yu.

I should trust him, but what happened tonight made me more wary of him.

It was another night of tossing and turning, and it was difficult to fall asleep. The torment of insomnia made my temples twitch.

I walked downstairs, Su Yu wasn't there, but Luna was sitting on the sofa in the living room waving at me.

"Ruan Shi, how are you feeling these two days?"

I smiled bitterly, and said frankly: "I have been suffering from insomnia for the past two nights, and I always feel inexplicably flustered and irritable, and it is difficult to calm down."

I looked at Luna questioningly, "Is it really possible to stop the drug? I think my anxiety seems to be worse after the drug is stopped."

"Don't be too nervous, learn to relax yourself." Luna squeezed my shoulder, and suddenly suggested: "The weather outside is very good today, let's go for a walk."

go out for a walk?

I nodded. Since I came to the United States, Su Yu has been imprisoning me in this villa. I thought he was no different from Li Yunzhou, a person with a strong desire to control.

But the reality is that no one stopped me when I left the villa, and I can move freely. Any confinement and control are all shackles that I put on myself.

Seeing the change in my face, Luna took my hand and said softly, "Ruan Shi, you have to learn to let yourself come out and relax."

Looking into her soft eyes, I pursed my lips and pulled out a forced smile.

Some emotions are beyond my control.

We came to an ecological park in the suburbs, and we saw a refreshing greenery, and the air was fresh and refreshing.

On the huge grass, young couples leaning on each other, couples pushing strollers, young girls walking their dogs...

Everything looks so cozy and harmonious.

Luna's soft voice lingered in my ears: "Actually, life is far simpler than we imagined. What everyone really wants in their hearts is a pure relationship and a stable life."
