Chapter 95 Interrupted
Jiang Li looked indifferently at Irene who stood up because of anger.
"Do you still need someone to deny it?" She curled her lips and looked at Irene and said slowly, "You can't keep your temper just because of a few words from me. Unless everyone in your family is an idiot, it won't be your turn to be the head of the family."
Any family that can survive for a long time relies not only on wealth and offspring, but also on the wisdom to match them.
If a person's IQ is not high enough, even if he has a lot of wealth, the wealth will flow away in various ways.
Jiang Li had done an experiment before. She gave a beggar 12,000 taels of silver to see what changes would happen to him.
As a result, within less than three days, the beggar was defrauded of his money in various ways and almost died by a knife.
"Don't be angry." Jiang Li held up his chin and looked at Irene and said, "How about we discuss a business deal?"
"what?"
Irene was a little slow to react, and looked at Jiang Li and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"I recently bought a shop in Hogsmeade Village, and I hope you can help me make potions." Jiang Li said slowly.
"Why should I help you make potions?"
Irene frowned and looked at Jiang Li in confusion.
Doesn't this person understand the situation? She is arguing with her now!
"Because you have a great talent for potions."
Jiang Li praised Irene generously and said, "If you study potions seriously, I think you will definitely achieve the greatest success.
You shouldn't focus on competing with your brother for family interests. You can't outsmart him."
Erin: "..."
It was clearly a tone of praise, but why did it sound so harsh?
"As long as you don't fight with your brother, I believe he will support your career in potions. Moreover, researching new potions can make you more famous and change your status in the family."
Jiang Li poured a cup of tea for Irene and said slowly: "If you rely on others, you will be abandoned one day. Only you can have your own solid backing.
Why should you give up your own advantages and compare yourself with others by using your own shortcomings? "
She also knew about Irene's resume. When Irene was studying in Slytherin, she did very well in Potions.
Slughorn also regretted that Irene disappeared after graduation. He thought Irene would achieve something in the world of potions.
Looking at the cup of tea pushed in front of her, Irene's mind was a little confused.
She returned to the family from the Muggle world, and although her father accepted her return, it seemed that there was no place for her in the family.
Everyone treated her as if she were invisible, and looked at her with a hint of contempt.
Irene knew that this matter was related to her lost memory, but she didn't dare to think about it too much, for fear that there was a fact behind it that she couldn't accept.
She subconsciously argued with her brother, wanting her father to pay attention to her again. Even if her father was as strict with her as he was in the past, she didn't want to be ignored.
Jiang Li glanced at the time on his pocket watch, stood up, and said to Irene, "I have something else to do, so I won't accompany you for tea. If you are interested in my proposal, you can go find my assistant. Here is his contact information."
She placed a card on the table and walked away.
Irene stared at the note on the table, feeling a little confused for a moment.
Have all these years of hard work been in vain?
As soon as he walked out of the door, Jiang Li ran into Snape who was rushing over.
"Is Irene causing you trouble?" Snape asked nervously.
"No, she just chatted with me casually." Jiang Li said with a smile.
Snape doubted the authenticity of the conversation.
"She didn't say anything mean to you, did she?"
"No." Jiang Li reached out to touch his head and said, "If she said anything excessive, I have embedded it in the wall now."
Snape skillfully avoided her hand and said seriously, "If Irene said anything excessive, I apologize to you."
"So how do you want to apologize?"
Jiang Li supported the wall behind Snape with one hand, pushed him against the corner in a domineering posture, and looked down at him.
too close.
With the faint scent of gardenia lingering at his nose, Snape took a step back, his heels against the wall, and looked at Jiang Li's red lips. His ears felt hot, his heart began to beat violently, his whole body was hot, and it felt like countless little ants were crawling in his blood vessels.
He held his breath as he looked at her face getting closer and closer.
"Gardenia, stay away from me."
Seeing that he seemed to be shy, Jiang Li raised his hand and touched his earlobe in a very vicious way, and said with a smile: "Your face is so red, do you have a fever? Do you want me to take you to Mrs. Ponderrey?"
Even though he knew that she was teasing him on purpose, Snape still didn't want to push her hand away.
He stared into those cunning blue eyes and said seriously: "Gardenia, I think I..."
"Miss Malfoy."
Irene, who suddenly caught up with him, interrupted Snape's next words.
Jiang Li loosened his hand and turned to look at Irene.
Irene looked at Jiang Li and said seriously: "I agree with your proposal just now."
Hearing this, Jiang Li smiled, stretched out his hand towards Irene and said, "I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."
Looking at the fair and slender hand, Irene reached out and held it, saying softly, "Happy cooperation."
I hope she won't make the wrong choice this time.
"What deal did you make?" asked Snape.
Jiang Li did not hide it from him and told him that he invited Irene to work in the store.
Snape didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Sev, can we talk for a minute?"
Irene looked at Snape with a hint of guilt in her eyes.
"There's nothing to talk about. You should go back early."
Snape looked indifferent. He took Jiang Li's hand and turned away, not wanting to say anything more to Irene.
Snape walked with his head down for an unknown amount of time before he finally stopped.
He moved his hands, and then he realized that he had been holding Jiang Li's hand all this time, passing in front of everyone.
"Sorry, I didn't notice."
"fine."
Jiang Li flexed his knuckles, looked at Snape sideways and said, "Actually, you don't need to be too sad. Not all parents in this world love their children. Often, their love comes with conditions. You just need to love yourself."
"Thank you."
Snape looked at Jiang Li's profile, with the corners of his lips slightly raised.
"By the way, what did you want to tell me just now?" Jiang Li looked at Snape curiously.
I was interrupted by Irene in the middle of my previous words.
"...Nothing." Snape said lightly.
Having missed the opportunity just now, it feels a bit weird to suddenly say that kind of thing now.
"Well, since you're free, I have to go study alchemy with Elena."
Jiang Li waved his hand and said goodbye to Snape in a graceful manner.
Elena.
Snape frowned when he thought of the Ravenclaw girl who had been sticking to Jiang Li recently.
Are Ravenclaw students that idle?
