Chapter 268: 261: Deeply in Love, Boss Xie; Imrsed in Work, Miss Wen (First Update)
The plane landed at 11:40 a.m., and Xie Shang’s car was parked near the airport. After lunch, Wen Changling needed to return to the office, and Xie Shang drove her there, with security allowing Xie Shang to drive into Huaqi’s garage.
At the elevator, Xie Shang held onto her hand without letting go, “Can’t you rest for a couple of days first? You’re still sick.”
“There’s a lot of data to deal with after the road test, and the project team is working overti. It wouldn’t be good for
to be absent.”
Xie Shang had no choice but to give in, instructing with concern, “If you feel unwell, don’t just tough it out.”
“Hmm.”
The elevator reached the basent level.
Xie Shang naturally kissed Wen Changling goodbye.
She blocked his lips with her hand, “There are people.”
The elevator doors opened, and indeed, there were people inside.
Xie Shang kissed the back of her hand instead, “I’m going.”
Only after Xie Shang got in his car did Wen Changling walk towards the elevator.
ng Duolan exited the elevator, brushing past Wen Changling. In her hands was a box filled with her personal belongings.
“You’re resigning?”
ng Duolan passed by Wen Changling without a word.
Wen Changling didn’t seek unnecessary trouble and let go of the elevator’s open door button.
Just before the doors were about to close, ng Duolan, unable to reconcile herself, still turned back, “You must be very pleased.”
Her words were loaded with aning.
Wen Changling raised her hand to stop the doors from closing, “What are you trying to say?”
ng Duolan laughed scornfully, “One Xie Shang, one Jiang Chengxue, both of them hold you so high, aren’t you afraid of falling?” She turned and left after speaking.
ng Duolan’s resignation wasn’t voluntary, it was Jiang Chengxue’s decision.
So days before, as she had no one to turn to due to her father’s situation and was feeling down, she had arranged to drink with a good friend.
Her friend advised her, “Instead of asking Xie Shang, you’re better off asking Wen Changling.”
Her friend was also in the legal circle and had heard about the “lingering attachnt” between Xie Shang and Wen Changling, as well as so of the turmoil at KE Law Firm, so she offered candid advice.
ng Duolan wouldn’t listen, especially after drinking, she vented her anger publicly, “What’s Wen Changling? Without Xie Shang, she’s nothing.”
Her friend simply shut her mouth, finding it hard to comnt.
The bartender brought over a blue cocktail.
ng Duolan glanced at it, “We didn’t order this drink.”
The bartender gestured with his eyes, “It’s from that gentleman over there.”
The two ladies looked over.
Her friend asked, “Do you know him?”
Yes, the chairman of Eastern Automobile.
ng Duolan had heard so rumors about Jiang Chengxue. Aside from his ruthless business tactics, the most circulated were his romantic escapades; he changed female companions frequently, knew how to have fun, and dared to take risks.
At that mont, ng Duolan seed to see a lifesaver. She picked up the cocktail and approached where Jiang Chengxue was seated with his back to the light, surrounded by darkness. The darker it was, the more distinct his silhouette beca.
He indeed had the capital to play, whether it was his appearance or the business empire behind him.
“Chairman Jiang.”
Jiang Chengxue had seen more than enough won extend an olive branch.
“You’re the legal director at Huaqi Technology, right?”
ng Duolan smiled gracefully, “My na is ng Duolan.”
Jiang Chengxue blew out a ring of smoke, took a sip of his drink, and chuckled lightly, “You just cursed Wen Changling.”
Although he was smiling as he spoke, ng Duolan felt an invisible, suffocating oppressive force that made her shiver, and she quickly explained, “I was just speaking offhand.”
He flicked off the ash and the smile faded from his lips, “You cursed her.”
ng Duolan was too overwheld by his presence to speak.
In that mont, a shapely lady approached, calling out softly, “Young Master Jiang.” It was only after getting closer that she noticed ng Duolan, and she instantly went on the defensive, her eyes filled with hostility, “Who is she?”
The lady was Jiang Chengxue’s female companion and assud she had the right to be jealous and bitter.
Jiang Chengxue stood up, walked towards ng Duolan, and the multicolored lights of the bar reflected unpredictably in his eyes. He pinched his companion’s face, turning her towards ng Duolan, “Do you think she looks like Wen Changling?”
ng Duolan turned pale.
The female companion coquettishly protested, “Young Master Jiang!”
“Her mouth does.”
Jiang Chengxue placed the cigarette in his companion’s mouth and walked away with her in his arms.
ng Duolan stood still, breaking out in a cold sweat. The n who liked Wen Changling seed crazier one after another.
The next day, Dai Qiu ca to ng Duolan with a trademark infringent case she had worked on.
“Resign yourself, if you don’t want to go to jail,” she said.
After reviewing the case materials, ng Duolan had a look of despair, “Wen Changling wants to chase
away, but she doesn’t have to do it this way.” She thought it was Wen Changling’s doing, as Dai Qiu was her secretary.
Dai Qiu corrected, “It’s Chairman Jiang.”
After dropping Wen Changling at her office, Xie Shang was called to the ski resort by Gu Yihuan.
Gu Yihuan, having shattered his ski goggles, had been complaining for ten minutes, “He Dongzhou keeps calling
stupid, it’s driving
crazy, he clearly can’t teach.” The more he vented, the angrier he beca, “It’s one thing to call
stupid, but then he turns around and talks on the phone with his girlfriend in that mawkish tone, it’s disgusting.”
Xie Shang was typing.
Xie Shang: [Are you working?]
Wen Changling: [Yes.]
Xie Shang: [Go take your dicine first.]
Xie Shang: [Two yellow capsules, three white ones.]
He was worried Wen Changling would forget, as these pills should be taken an hour after eating.
Wen Changling sent an emoji to indicate she understood.
“Fourth Brother, are you even listening?”
Xie Shang looked up, “I’m listening.”
Gu Yihuan, wearing an orange helt, leaned closer to see, “Who are you chatting with?”
“Girlfriend.”
If it’s Fourth Brother’s girlfriend, then it couldn’t be anyone else.
“You’re back together with Wen Changling?!”
“Yes.”
Xie Shang continued to type.
Xie Shang: [Call
when you finish work, I’ll co to pick you up.]
