Jiang Chen sighed. He had underestimated Su Zhi’s influence. Everyone—Su Zhi herself, Su Mingdao, and others—wanted to use him to sway her. Even Ye Muqing had teased him, suggesting he could rely on Su Zhi to provide for him.
To be honest, Jiang Chen found this repulsive. His affections were not something to be traded, and he certainly wasn’t lacking money. Sacrificing one’s self-respect for wealth was a pathetic prospect. Consequently, Jiang Chen simply turned down all such invitations. He didn't dwell on how Su Zhi was doing nowadays; in truth, her current situation held no significance for him.
He sighed again. His focus needed to remain on the Qin family, while also ensuring he protected himself from those looking to exploit him.
