In the towering building, Jiang Xinran was standing in the corridor of the pantry, answering a phone call in a low voice. Outside the window was a clear blue sky. The clouds floated, and her figure was vaguely revealed.
"Got it." She looked at the heavy traffic outside and narrowed her eyes under the sunlight. She gently hung up the phone. She was about to walk out of the pantry when she suddenly turned back as if she had remembered something. She swiped open her phone screen again and booked a table at a restaurant. Then, she opened her phone's address book and tapped on Su Chen's name.
The receptionist hung up the call from the general manager's office. She smiled and looked up to tell Yi Xiangnuan," Please wait for a moment. Secretary Lin will personally come down to take you up."”
Yi Xiangnuan nodded and waited obediently. Fortunately, the lady at the front desk did not forget about her. Otherwise, she might have to wait for an entire day outside their office building to see Ji Qianmu again, just like the last time she came to look for Ji Qianmu.
It was working hours, so there were almost no people walking around the lobby. Not long after, Secretary Lin walked out of the elevator. She was dressed in a black business suit, and her stern expression made people feel a little distant.
His exquisite high-heeled shoes stepped in front of her and stopped. He said in a business-like tone,"Miss Yi, please follow me."”
Yi Xiangnuan followed Secretary Lin into the elevator. She led her to the living room and told her apologetically,""I'm sorry, but CEO Ji is on an important call. Please take a seat here for a while. I'll come over to call you later.”
"Alright, thank you."
"You're welcome."
Then, Secretary Lin went out to bring her some tea before leaving.
This living room was specially used to receive people. It was spotless. The soft fabric sofa and the brightly colored green radish potted plants made people feel much better. As time passed, Yi Xiangnuan drank all the water in her teacup. She was a little anxious from waiting and even wondered if Secretary Lin had forgotten about her. The people outside were all busy with their work. She paced back and forth in the living room uneasily, but she did not dare to go out and disturb them. She was willing to give up this opportunity. Otherwise, she did not know when she would be able to come again. After another twenty minutes, Secretary Lin finally pushed open the door and called out to her.""Miss Yi, you can see CEO Ji now.”
Yi Xiangnuan could not wait to get up from the sofa and immediately followed her into Ji Qianmu's office.
The layout of his office was simple, neat, and orderly. Ji Qianmu sat behind the table, her eyes slightly closed as she massaged her Qingming acupoint. She looked a little tired. Secretary Lin knocked on the office door to remind him,""CEO Ji, Miss Yi is here."
When Ji Qianmu heard this, she stood up and her eyes flashed. She smiled and said,""Xiang Nuan, come in and sit." Then, he waved at Secretary Lin." Go get two cups of coffee."”
" No need, no need…" Yi Xiangnuan interrupted." I have something to talk to you about. I'll leave after I'm done."”
Ji Qianmu's expression froze for a moment before she nodded and asked Secretary Lin to leave. He walked from behind the table to the front of the table, and the haze after the phone call was swept away. He asked,"Why are you looking for me?"
It had been many days since Yi Xiangnuan and Su Chen's wedding. Mother Ji was furious that he had stopped Yi Xiangnuan's car on the day of the wedding. He had been receiving calls from her almost every day, and the content was the same. She was always persuading him to draw a line between himself and Yi Xiangnuan. However, he couldn't do it, especially when his secretary told him that Yi Xiangnuan wanted to see him. He just wanted to get rid of Mother Ji's call as soon as possible so that she could come in.
Yi Xiangnuan hesitated." It's still about Jiang Xinran.”
At the mention of this name, Ji Qianmu could not help but frown. He thought for a moment and asked something unrelated," Does he know…that you are here?”
He didn't mention Su Chen, but they both understood. Yi Xiangnuan shook his head. His expression was so calm that it was hard to read." I didn't tell him that I was looking for you. Besides, this matter is related to Jiang Xinran.”
The first time Yi Xiangnuan came to look for Ji Qianmu, she had already told him about her past five years. She had also asked him about many things related to the Yi family. She had even told him that Yi Changping's death might not have been an accident, but she did not want Su Chen to know about it. Ji Qianmu trusted her and was willing to help her, and even kept her promise to not tell anyone about her experience.
Ji Qianmu touched the tip of her nose, and her gaze seemed to be filled with pity." You really don't plan to tell Su Chen the truth?”
"What can I tell him?" Yi Xiangnuan lowered his head and smiled bitterly." Back then, I was indeed the one who got him drunk and personally handed the contract to my father. In his eyes, I was someone who would give up everything for the sake of profit. He had long believed that I was full of lies. I had no evidence to prove it. Even if I told him, he would only think that I was defending myself.”
Since a long time ago, the rate at which real estate prices increased was visible to the naked eye. Yi Changping was a businessman, so he would not let go of such a good opportunity to profit. Su Chen had a piece of land under his name. It was in a good location and had a wide area. It was a good piece of meat. One time, Yi Changping came to school to visit Yi Xiangnuan. He made an excuse to ask her to invite Su Chen over to treat them to a meal. The Yi family and the Su family had known each other for many years, and she didn't hide her relationship with Su Chen from the adults of the two families. No one felt that it was inappropriate to meet the parents and treat them to a meal. However, Yi Changping had asked Su Chen about it during the dinner, and he had even expressed that he wanted to buy that piece of land.
Su Chen didn't agree, and the dinner ended unhappily. In the end, Yi Xiangnuan left Yi Changping and Su Chen behind, and he never mentioned it again.
They had thought that the matter was over, but Yi Xiangnuan had received news that Yi Changping had ordered her to break up with Su Chen. Naturally, she wouldn't agree. She went home and made a scene with Yi Changping, but he locked her in her room and took away her phone and computer. He even ordered people to watch her and not let her go anywhere. Yi Changping said," You'd better think about it carefully. I have many ways to get that piece of land, but by then, the Su family and the Yi family will naturally fall out with each other. I can't guarantee what Su Chen will think of you. But if you can coax him into selling this piece of land to me, you can still be together.”
In the end, he patted Yi Xiangnuan's shoulder." What's so difficult about that? Just let him take this as a betrothal gift. As long as he signs and prints his fingerprint on the contract, I won't stop you from going anywhere with him.”# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:122120183:49AM
