"Great, wonderful."
Yan Jian finally mustered a smile, trying hard to make his voice sound cheerful: "Since you’re serious, show your sincerity as well: give back the photos from that night!"
Once, in making this contract with him, he used his little brother’s life in Asia as a bargaining chip, but now that his little brother has returned safely, his threat has lost its edge. Yet she continues to fulfill this contract, naturally fearing the photos he holds.
He had long said that he had photos from that night; he even threatened to send them to Little Sound...
She believes he’s not lying. A man like him would always leave himself every possible resource for the future.
.
Across the receiver, Jas squinted his blue eyes at the phone, taking a deep breath.
"Sorry, but they are my own photography works. I hold the copyright, so I’m not obligated to hand them over to you."
"Jas, you bastard!"
Yan Jian flew into a rage. How could he still say such a thing? Does he have no sha?!
Jas, however, just laughed silently on the phone: "Tang Yanjian, you’re so strange. Did you just realize today that I’m a bastard? You’ve known for a long ti, haven’t you, so why get so agitated?"
Yan Jian clenched his fingers, trying hard to breathe.
"Jas, you’re the one who said you wanted to end that contract. Given your usual thods, I have reason to worry that you’re toying with again! So, I need to see your sincerity: for , the greatest sincerity in ending the contract is to completely eliminate its foundation, which are those photos."
She turned her eyes away, lifted them, and looked up at the ceiling.
"...As long as those photos are gone, our relationship can be cut off cleanly with a swift cut. As long as neither of us ntions it publicly, no one will ever know."
Jas remained silent, only his breathing could faintly be heard fluctuating.
Yan Jian decided to stab once more.
"Jas, you’re getting engaged to Catherine, right? Your Ford family is of noble descent, and I heard that traditional European nobles are very forbidden from having old love affairs dug up before marriage."
"Moreover, you’re your father’s son. You hate your father and Huangfu Xi’an because of his other affair. So you should also be a husband who is faithful and devoted to your wife! Therefore, you should hurry to sever this entanglent between us to truly be loyal to yourself, shouldn’t you?"
.
Yan Jian’s stab was ruthless enough, Jas holding the phone had to take several deep breaths to soothe the intense pain between his ribs.
"Tang Yanjian, you have such a cruel heart." He squeezed out his resentnt through gritted teeth.
Yan Jian made an effort to smile coldly: "But can you deny what I said is wrong? Jas, you should understand better than I do, the reality of this world, nothing is truly what it seems and often cruelly unforgiving."
"What if I don’t give them to you?" Jas suddenly hardened his heart: "What can you do? Would you co and expose at my wedding to Catherine? But then wouldn’t you also be revealing your own scars, letting the outside world and your family know what I did to you?!"
Yan Jian’s heart was also cruelly stung.
She closed her eyes, trying hard not to care.
She then smiled: "I wouldn’t do sothing so foolish. Jas, apart from the legal profession, my Tang family also now has my sister-in-law, who is a reporter. I only need to give her a little hint, let her write in a speculative tone. My sister-in-law’s slightly skewed pen will make the outside world guess you, and they won’t suspect at all."
Jas sneered, gritting his teeth with anger: "Tang Yanjian, are you trying to remind that when you’re ruthless, you have your whole family to back you; while I, am all alone, is that it?"
Yan Jian closed her eyes again.
Originally, she had no intention of doing so, but since he said it like that, and clearly, he was already weary of it, then she had to say it!
She then laughed: "Exactly. So if I were you, while being cautious with the Lin Qi family, I wouldn’t be foolish enough to offend our Tang family at the sa ti. If you stubbornly hold your ground, by then, your enemies on all sides will be far more complicated than this current situation!"
.
He also laughed, but his laughter was full of sinister energy.
"Tang Yanjian, if I were you, I wouldn’t be so quick to gloat. Because, you still have leverage in my hand! — Those photos, if you get too cocky, I might just reveal them all now without hesitation!"
