Yuan Shu thought about it seriously, but she really had no impression of him, so she shook her head. “Do you have a photo of him? Maybe I’ll remember him when I see his face.”

Shi Xiao shook his head helplessly. “Jiang Chen has always been very mysterious. Zheng Tian and Jiang Heng helped him do everything, so no one in the outside world has seen his appearance. Even the Xu family has probably only seen him a few times.”

Yuan Shu had never understood Jiang Chen, so she didn’t expect him to be so mysterious.

When Yuan Shu recalled what Song Shi had said at the ball tonight, she was puzzled and asked, “What’s the relationship between the Song family and the Jiang family? Why does it seem like Song Shi sees Jiang Chen very often?”

Shi Xiao could feel that Yuan Shu was talking to him casually now and was no longer as guarded as before. It seemed that she had really accepted him from the bottom of her heart. Shi Xiao was satisfied.

Shi Xiao explained to Yuan Shu, “Actually, the two families have nothing to do with each other. Mr. Song has always been a very arrogant person. He’s very famous in the academic world and is the president of the domestic education association. His connections in the political circle are also very extensive, but he has always been focused on academics and is very aloof.”

As for the old pedant, Yuan Shu was very familiar with him. Since she was young, Yuan Shu had seen too many stick-in-the-mud teachers, so she would always quarrel with the teachers. Because Yuan Shu didn’t agree with the old-fashioned concept of these teachers, her father had put in a lot of effort to find a suitable teacher for her.

Hence, when she heard this, Yuan Shu couldn’t help but add, “Isn’t it just because he doesn’t want to interact with money-grubbers like you guys?”

Shi Xiao was amused by Yuan Shu’s straightforward explanation. He didn’t expect the usually serious Yuan Shu to be so adorable when she accepted someone from the bottom of her heart.

“That’s right. This is also the reason he never comes into contact with the business world. However, the Song family is very rich and the wealth was accumulated through several generations, so even if they don’t do business, they’re still a very wealthy family.”

Yuan Shu was puzzled. “But it’s even more impossible for such a person to have any contact with the Jiang family. Mr. Song should be even more ashamed of the Jiang family’s source of business income.”

Shi Xiao looked at Yuan Shu with admiration, since he could clearly feel that their communication wasn’t on the same level.

“In fact, that should be the case. However, the previous generation of the Jiang family seems to have had some entanglements with Mr. Song, so Song Shi and Jiang Chen know each other. The two of them have been entangled since they were young.”

“Actually, two months ago, there was news that the two of them were about to get married. Now, they’re discussing the wedding date. But for some reason, after I went to Africa and came back, these rumors disappeared. Jiang Chen became even more mysterious and even more vicious than before.”

Yuan Shu listened very seriously and immediately asked, “Vicious? How?”

Just as Shi Xiao was thinking about how to explain, Zhao Cheng continued, “Young Madam, you might not have come into contact with the underworld, so you don’t know how inhumane these people are when they do business. In this city, at least 80% of the underworld business belongs to the Jiang family, and Jiang Chen’s management of his subordinates can be said to be military style. The punishment for his subordinates is also gruesome.”

In fact, Zhao Cheng had already said it very implicitly, but Yuan Shu completely understood. Jiang Chen’s management of his subordinates was actually more like that of the military camp. The biggest rule in the military camp was, “Those who disobey orders will be executed”. Therefore, in this civilized society, Jiang Chen probably had many shady secrets.

After she heard their description, a very familiar figure suddenly flashed across Yuan Shu’s mind, but she couldn’t remember who it was no matter how hard she tried.

This feeling had surrounded her for too long. She had often had this feeling since a month ago. Some scenes and people were very familiar to her, but they couldn’t remember who the person was.

Could it be that the person she found familiar but couldn’t remember was Jiang Chen?

What exactly happened between her and Jiang Chen?

Moreover, she had a vague feeling that Jiang Chen was very familiar with her, so familiar that he could even see all her actions..
