Stealing Your Heart

“I won’t pursue this matter, but you should have a chat with her. As for you, just like I’ve said before, you should go study so you can help me out at the company after you graduate.”

Jiang Youqian pressed his lips together. He was deeply moved by Jiang Mohan’s words.

He didn’t speak because he was at a loss on how to respond to this generosity.

After taking some time to recollect himself, he finally said, “Thank you.”

Jiang Mohan, however, didn’t respond. He had a vacant and unfocused look in his eyes.

She was well aware of what she had done, and she certainly didn’t think that Jiang Mohan would spare her.

All of a sudden, Jiang Youqian roared, “If you were going to be arrested, it would have been done long ago.”
