Chapter 1301 - 1302: Still Have Pity for Her
Chapter 1301: Chapter 1302: Still Have Pity for Her
Just this kind of ’fate’, how to describe it? It’s the first time it made her feel at a loss, uncertain of how to deal with these emotions.
Chu Xi quickly brought the coffee she had prepared, taking great care to ensure that its temperature was just right, and gently placed it on Jiang Chenyue’s table. Her gaze swept subtly over the items on the desk, and upon seeing a series of names, her eyes flickered, a shade of annoyance covering her eyes...
Originally, she had planned to make Jiang Chenyue misunderstand her background, but who knew that Qin Jun would intervene and warn her beforehand?
This forced her to change her plan.
The status of Miss Chu was within her reach; having tasted the glory, how could she willingly let it go?
But that man, like a roadblock tiger, occasionally caused trouble with his narrowing eyes, looking at her with a smirk-like gaze.
She felt a chill down her spine, fearing that the murky thoughts at the bottom of her heart would be exposed.
She bit her lip, fiercely suppressing the emotions in her eyes, and said softly, "Mrs. Jiang, your coffee."
"Have a cup of coffee before continuing."
Jiang Chenyue didn’t pay attention to her side and pointed aside, "Put it here."
Just then,
The mobile phone on the table suddenly lit up.
Jiang Chenyue’s attention was drawn to the phone, and perhaps it was her misconception, but she saw the usually composed and dignified lady’s eyes brighten eagerly; she actually put down what she was doing and walked to the side to answer the call.
"Hello, Yan."
Yan?
Chu Xi felt a jump in her brow, an annoying name surfaced—Rong Yan!
The name had just surfaced and was immediately dismissed.
The ’Yan’ in Jiang Chenyue’s mouth could certainly not be that woman; if it were a call from Rong Yan, how could the lady speak in such a gentle tone?
She was sure it couldn’t be Rong Yan, but these two characters still agitated her.
Not knowing what the person on the other end of the phone had said, Jiang Chenyue lifted her wrist, glanced at her watch, and asked softly, "Now?"
Then she slowly said, "I’m not exactly busy. But it might take me half an hour to get there, I live quite far."
"Mhm, that works too. Find a place to sit and drink water and wait for a while, I’ll call you when I get there. Okay, goodbye."
She hung up the phone, went back to the sofa, started packing up the things on the table, and said to Chu Xi, "I need to go out for a bit."
"The coffee..." Chu Xi begrudgingly felt that the coffee she brewed was a wasted effort.
Jiang Chenyue glanced at the coffee on the table and said, "I don’t have time to drink it, please pour it away for me!"
"..."
The last thing Chu Xi wanted to hear today was ’no time’!
The person in front of her was someone she couldn’t afford to offend, and she even needed to please her; no matter how unwilling she was to hear that, she dared not show it, "Okay, Mrs. Jiang. I will wait for you to come back and have dinner with you."
Jiang Chenyue packed up her things, "No need to wait. I won’t be eating at Chu Garden today, you should head back earlier."
Perhaps remembering something, she looked up at the elegantly standing figure and said, "In the future, don’t keep running to the Li Group. About Li Shengxiao and Xixi’s marriage engagement, I have my own considerations. You have been delayed quite a bit lately due to our family’s matters. I will find time to talk to Juner and have him arrange domestic resources for you. This way, you won’t have to revolve around those matters all the time, and you can change your mood."
Chu Xi seemed flustered, unsure of where to put her hands and feet, and immediately said, "Mrs. Jiang, there’s no need..."
