Jiang Chen looked at her in disbelief, "So not only did you lie to me, you also wanted to forget me... Why?"

Yuan Shu smiled bitterly and said, "Because it is impossible for the two of us to be together. You are so stubborn that you can't lead the Yuan Family Army at all. And I have a close relationship with the Yuan Family Army. I can't destroy the entire Yuan Family Army just to be with you!"

Jiang Chen looked at Yuan Shu in shock for a long time. Finally, he gave in and even his shoulders drooped. "When did you come up with this idea?"

Yuan Shu felt a headache, but still said, "Do you remember what happened when we were fourteen? The sandbox could no longer meet our learning needs, so we simulated an actual battle. At that time, you and another person each led fifteen people to rob the other party's food."

"In order to obtain military rations, you used all means, even at the cost of your companions' lives. You used five people as bait to lure me into the trap, and I finally got the military rations. That's when I realized that you are a ruthless person who will do anything to achieve your goals. In your eyes, human life is less worth mentioning than victory. How can such a person lead the Yuan family's army? I can't hand over the Yuan family to you. Sooner or later, you will sacrifice the Yuan family's army."

Jiang Chen smiled bitterly, "As expected of you, General Yuan's daughter. You're only fourteen and have such thoughts. When I saw you get angry after losing the competition, I thought you were blaming me for not accepting you. I coaxed you for three days before I finally calmed you down. It turns out that you're still angry and have been holding a grudge for many years."

Jiang Chen asked again: "Have you ever regretted it? Because of what you said back then, I became a scholar and started making trouble in the court."

Yuan Shu didn't answer for a long time. It was difficult for her to judge this matter. Although the Yuan family served the court, the emperor and the queen were very good to her, so it was difficult for Yuan Shu to judge her feelings towards the court.

She had the nerve to say that she didn't care about being used, because if it weren't for the pressure from the royal family, she might have been able to live the life she wanted.

Yuan Shu said: "In fact, from a certain perspective, I am just as cold-blooded as you. I don't care what you do in the court. I only know that the Yuan family's army will not be in trouble. As long as you don't use those dirty tricks on the Yuan family, I can pretend that I don't know."

"On the contrary, if there must be a traitor, I hope that person is you. Because you have feelings for the Yuan family army, so no matter how powerful you are, you will not attack the Yuan family army in the end."

Jiang Chen sneered, "You always play with people's hearts, but Yuan Shu, I have fallen in love with you. I have been obsessed with you for so many years and it is impossible to let go. There is no kingship, no restrictions, and no Yuan family army in this world. You are still you, and I am still me. The two of us can abandon everything and live our own lives."

Yuan Shu hesitated for a moment. For a moment, she was indeed tempted. Jiang Chen was right. Compared with that dynasty, there was more freedom here. Isn’t this exactly what Yuan Shu wanted?

Yuan Shu still refused, "It's too late. There are always various barriers between us. In the past, it was the Yuan family army, and now it's business. Yushu Buyi has just been established. I can't give up everything in the world just to be with you. That would be too irresponsible!"

Jiang Chen smiled sadly, "In fact, I had already expected your answer. I have done so much for you, but you still think about the overall situation. However, I can't let you go like this. I can't watch you marry someone else, not to mention that this person is my mortal enemy!"

Yuan Shu looked at Jiang Chen coldly, "You can't persuade me. Maybe this is fate. We will always be opposites. You are a scholar, but I want to marry a warrior. You are the head of the Jiang family, and I am the young lady of the Shi family. We can't be together."

Jiang Chen accidentally knocked over the teacup, and the light green tea spilled on his apricot shirt, leaving a stain.

He said anxiously: "Why am I always the one abandoned in your world! I brought you here and freed you from the shackles of family and imperial power, but you still refuse to look at me..."

At this point, there is no need to dwell on this issue. Yuan Shu picked up the teacup, drank the tea, and said calmly: "Jiang Chen, it is impossible for a person to live without self-control. Even in this world, you must think about your family and cannot abandon everything, just like you could not abandon your family before. It is the same now. I already have ties."

"After weighing the pros and cons, the other party abandoned us. Instead of dwelling on the past, it is better to look forward. I have spent three days thinking it through. I will not go with you."

Jiang Chen lowered his head and said nothing. He was angry that he knew Yuan Shu so well. Precisely because he knew Yuan Shu so well, he knew that since Yuan Shu said these words, he really could not take her away.

Yuan Shu continued, "Since I have remembered the past, there is no need to film the TV series. Let this past remain in my memory."

Jiang Chen smiled bitterly and said, "I should have expected this to happen. Yuan Shu, I lost the bet again."

Jiang Chen let out a long sigh, sat up straight, and then called his secretary Zheng Tian in.

Zheng Tian handed him a document and left silently.

Jiang Chen pushed the document in front of Yuan Shu, "Since we can't talk about feelings, let's talk about business. This document is my recent investigation into your software company. Tan Jing's move is very clever. From the beginning, he lured you into the trap step by step, and then used this software company to let the Finance Bureau investigate you. He prepared for several months. This is just the first step. There will definitely be follow-up."

Yuan Shu asked doubtfully, "If I remember correctly, the Tan family is not strong enough to fight against the Shi family and the Jiang family. If he does this, it means he is betraying you. Without your support, how can he fight against the Shi family?"

Before this, Jiang Chen thought Tan Jing was loyal, but now it seems that Tan Jing had betrayed him long ago.

"The Jiang family and the Tan family have business dealings and a lot of cooperation at work. Tan Jing has always been very flattering to the Jiang family." Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment, and then said, "It was Tan Jing who planned to drug you and let you marry Shi Xiao. However, things should have changed since I came here."

"Tan Jing's attitude is relatively neutral now, and her relationship with the Jiang family and the Shi family is not that close. Tan Jing entered the software industry without asking the Jiang family's opinion and came directly to you."

"I think there are only two possibilities. Either he wants to be independent and completely neutral, and get rid of the control of the two major families. But there is no need to provoke you. This will only bring trouble to himself. In this case, there is only the second possibility. Someone is helping him."

Yuan Shu was silent. Her thoughts were the same as Jiang Chen's.

However, Tan Jing is not a fool. He was able to weigh the pros and cons and choose to give up the Shi family and the Jiang family, which shows that the people behind him are strong enough to compete with the two major families.

However, there are not many families in City A that have the same status as these two families. There is the Song family, which has a place in the academic world but has always kept a low profile, and the Li family, which is active in the political arena.

However, the status of these two families does not allow them to interfere in business affairs.

Yuan Shu frowned and asked, "Then tell me, who is the mastermind behind this?"

Jiang Chen crossed his arms over his chest and said, "It's hard to judge for now. In recent times, I haven't seen any family suddenly rise, which means that the mastermind behind the scenes is hiding very well. More importantly, we don't know what his purpose is or what cards he has. The enemies in the open are not scary, but the enemies in the dark are scary."

Yuan Shu and Jiang Chen looked at each other and smiled in tacit understanding. This was what they often said when they were practicing on the sand table.

Yuan Shu glanced at the time and said, "It's getting late. I think I should go find Shi Bin in person to find out the situation."

Jiang Chen said: "I'll send someone to take you there."

Yuan Shu said: "No need, I can just hire a driver."

After that, she picked up her handbag and prepared to leave.

Jiang Chen asked: "Are we still friends?"

Yuan Shu smiled and said, "Of course, it has always been that way." Yuan Shu paused, and then said, "But I am Shi Xiao's wife now. For the sake of the relationship between our two families, it is better for you not to come."

Jiang Chen couldn't help but ask, "Now that you remember everything, aren't you going to divorce him?"

Yuan Shu said calmly: "This is a matter between the two of us. If I want a divorce, I will wait until he returns to China and becomes stable."

Jiang Chen was obviously disappointed. When Yuan Shu pushed the door open and walked out, he asked, "Why not me?"
