Chapter 109-Part 3

Xue Hang felt something was amiss. Jiang Nian was currently full of despair, feeling that the world was meaningless. His appearance had given her a glimmer of hope, but he had taken that away… Wouldn’t it be even harder for Jiang Nian to overcome her past traumas and pain now? And if she were to take the wrong path and only pursue material wealth, what would he do?

After some thought, Xue Hang felt relieved. It wouldn’t be difficult for him to shelter Jiang Nian with his capabilities. He could help her from a distance and wait until she saw the bright side of the world again before withdrawing his support.

With this in mind, Xue Hang felt at ease and called Jiang Nian, “Do you have plans tonight? Let’s have dinner together.”

Jiang Nian, being so clever and considerate, of course wouldn’t ask her benefactor why he suddenly wanted to have dinner together. She had previously said she would rely on herself, but that didn’t mean they couldn’t have dinner together. She enthusiastically nodded in agreement, saying, “Sure, sure, that sounds great!”

Xue Hang sighed. “See, just a little bit of concern, and she’s over the moon.”

They agreed to meet at a private restaurant near the hotel in the evening. It was said that reservations had to be made well in advance, with a waiting list stretching for half a year. The food was exceptional. Even when Jiang Nian was a big star, she couldn’t get a taste. She never expected that she would get to taste it today, thanks to her benefactor.

Xue Hang seemed to have just come from the office, dressed in a stiff suit. However, he took off his jacket and hung it on a hanger, rolling up his sleeves, giving him a somewhat casual look.

He asked, “I’ve been keeping up with the news these past few days. Do you have any thoughts?”

Jiang Nian took a sip of tea and said, “An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.”

Xue Hang nodded, somewhat relieved. This girl might be naive, but she was clear about her likes and dislikes, not letting hatred cloud her judgment.

Glancing at Xue Hang, Jiang Nian asked, “Benefactor, you said before that I should rely on myself. Why are you showing concern now?”

Xue Hang replied, “Relying on yourself doesn’t mean I can’t show some concern. Ultimately, it’s up to you to face things on your own.”

Jiang Nian nodded earnestly in agreement, thinking to herself that, indeed, relying on her benefactor’s support wasn’t reliable. She must work hard to earn her beloved gold. After all, it was her only joy and pursuit in this despairing world. Life without gold would be meaningless, so she had to pull herself together!

Xue Hang was shocked, his expression contorting. He looked at Jiang Nian with astonishment in his deep eyes.

Last time, she only said it was her “favorite,” right? How did it become her “only joy and pursuit in the world” in such a short time?

Damn it, what did Sun Xu and Wang Jingjing do again?!!

“Jiang Nian, although there are many bad people, the world is still beautiful.”

“Yes, indeed.”

So many golds waiting for her to cherish!

Xue Hang: “…………”

… So now she can’t even see the little light in him anymore??
