My Evil Genius Wife - Chapter 414
Chapter 414: Our First Encounter.
” So the news was not wrong. Mr. Han, what a pleasant surprise.” Jiang Ru smiled brightly upon seeing Han Zihao together with Grandfather Jiang.
A while ago, when she was in her office, she heard the news that the President of Han Corporations, Han Zihao, had come to the company and had gone to meet her Grandfather.
The man she was dying to get in touch with for so long, has come to her company on his own. How can she miss this GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY to make connections with him?
She eyed Gu De who was standing behind her, trying to stop her from entering the room and scoffed before she entered the Chairman’s room in her high heels.
Earlier, when she told him to open the door as she wanted to enter the Chairman’s office, Gu De who was standing outside the office stopped her from meeting the Chairman as he was busy in a meeting.
She told him that she is not here to meet the Chairman of Jiang Corporations but her Grandfather, yet he tried to stop her.
Moron!!
…..
She is the future successor of the company, how dare he defy her orders and stop her?
Despite him stopping her, she shoved him aside and pushed open the door to enter the Chairman’s office. He is just a mere secretary, how dare he try to control her?

At the sudden entry of Jiang Ru, Grandfather Jiang’s expressions turned gloomy, whereas Han Zihao was as indifferent as ever as he tried to read the room. He noticed Grandfather Jiang who was smiling a while ago, his expressions suddenly changed and turned solemn.
Hmm? Who is this person whose appearance is bothering him so much? Han Zihao wondered as he waited for the girl to introduce herself.
Jiang Ru walked towards Han Zihao and stretched her hand for a handshake with him, ” Let me introduce myself. My name is Jiang Ru, Managing Director of Jiang Corporations and the eldest granddaughter of Jiang Hanying.” She showed him her most professional smile as she introduced herself to him.
She could feel Grandfather Jiang’s glare at her, but she ignored his gloomy expressions for now. He is acting like this for quite a time now that she has gotten used to it. If he can’t give her what she deserves, she will make sure to pave the way to get those things that she deserves herself.
Upon hearing the introduction of Jiang Ru, Han Zihao couldn’t help but fall into a deep thought as he shook hands with her briefly. Eldest Granddaughter of Mr. Jiang? That means….
His expressions immediately stiffened upon remembering the story that Jiang Yue had told him before about how her cousin bullied her at school for no reason which made her hate mushrooms to the core and how she cannot eat at the parties because of that trauma of hers.
Seeing the professional businesswoman standing in front of him, he cannot believe that she is the same girl who enjoyed her cousin being so miserable and was now smiling brightly as if she is the happiest person in this world.
” Mr. Han, looks like you have forgotten our first encounter. I am disappointed.” She pouted her lips in disappointment as she complained to him about forgetting their first meeting. His impression was so strong that she still remembers him whereas he doesn’t even remember seeing her before.
Not fair.
Han Zihao laughed awkwardly and asked, ” We have met before? I don’t recall meeting with Ms. Jiang before.”
Jiang Ru laughed at his honesty and slapped him on his shoulder in a friendly manner as if she is close with him, ” Mr. Han, Looks like you need to eat walnuts to strengthen your memory. How can you not remember our first meeting?”
” I haven’t forgotten about it until now, I am shocked that you don’t even remember my name.” She laughed as she recalled their first meeting. It was a special day indeed.
“It must not be an important meeting for me then. Otherwise, I am not the type to forget people’s faces and names so easily, even if it was a brief meeting.” He stated, making her blush in embarrassment. While Jiang Ru was trying to recover from the blow of his cold words towards her, she saw his dusting off his coat where she had hit him earlier.
” Haha….You sure like to make jokes.” She forced a smile while trying to maintain her self-respect in front of him. Although his response was crude and indifferent, she prefers this kind of man over a man who butters up for everything and compliments her for nothing.
He makes her want to have him even more.
” Well, to remind you about our first meeting, it was a year ago – at the engagement party of Mr. Ran. I hope you will recall our encounter now.” She said, while looking at him expectantly.
She can never forget meeting him for the first time. It was the first party that she had attended after Jiang Yue’s death as before that, her family was busy mourning for her loss.
Even though it was just a pretense, she had to follow the trend and go with the melo-drama to maintain her image since the media’s eyes were constantly stuck on their family.
At the party, all the men were hovering around her like bees, whereas, there was a man who was standing in the corner and was simply enjoying his drink alone. It was her first time seeing a man who was not only handsome but also looked like a beautiful painting from far away.
What a sight to behold it was.
Not only that, since it was an engagement party of one of the richest businessmen, there were many people from the same circle and everyone was busy sharing contacts with each other.
When everyone was socializing with each other, this man was standing out among the crowd of hundreds of people. She walked to him and introduced herself to him as she wanted to get to know more about this man. She was expecting him to greet her with a bright smile and the same energy as well, but he didn’t say anything other than giving her a polite nod and left after receiving a phone call.
He not only passed by her, but also ignored her existence as a person. How can he ignore such a beautiful girl like her? Like how?

” Ah….About that party, I remember it. It was quite hectic that day. However, I still don’t recall meeting you at the party.” He answered with a business smile, building a wall against her.
Even though he doesn’t remember meeting her at the party, he remembers that day very vividly. That was the day when the Gu family also held a banquet at the same hotel where the engagement party was held and Zhu Ai created a huge drama at the party, causing Xu Nuan to faint by the end of it.
He was so engaged in the whole drama at the Gu’s, that he doesn’t remember meeting anyone at the party. Also, if he had remembered meeting Jiang Ru at the party, he would be indifferent to that as well.
Who wants to remember a person like her anyway?
” Jiang Ru, how did you come inside? Didn’t Gu De inform you that I am busy in a meeting right now?” Grandfather Jiang, who was watching the drama unfolding from the sidelines, finally interrupted. Her desperation was now making him embarrassed in front of Han Zihao.
Jiang Ru pursed her lips and forced a sweet smile at Grandfather Jiang’s question, ” He did inform me about it. However, I cannot stop myself from barging into the room since I didn’t want to miss this opportunity to meet Mr. Han.”
” Also, I am not here as the Managing Director of Jiang Corporations. I came here as your granddaughter. And which granddaughter needs permission to meet her grandfather?” She asked cutely, while trying to make him smile with her sweetness.
She was expecting to melt his anger with her sweet words, but his expressions turned even more dark upon hearing this. ” Ms. Jiang Ru, this is my office and I am your boss. I hope you can maintain an appropriate distance at the office and not treat it as if it’s your home.” He told her off harshly.
There was a time when he used to pamper her and actually get swayed away by her sweet words. Which Grandfather would still be indifferent towards his sweet Granddaughter? However….she is not his granddaughter anymore.
She is a monster who knows nothing but greed.
Jiang Ru who was already embarrassed by Han Zihao’s indifferent words was now blushing in embarrassment. How can he…How can he tell her off like that in front of Han Zihao? How?
Has he truly lost his mind because of Jiang Yue’s death? She wondered.
