182 A Joke Delivered To The Door
According to the address, Li Xi knocked on He Miao’s door. Hearing the sound of running water, she guessed that the person inside was taking a shower.
He Miao had indeed just taken a shower. She put on a large robe and slippers before coming to open the door. When she saw the strange woman outside, she subconsciously wanted to close the door.
Li Xi quickly pressed on the door and said with a smile, “Miss He? I’m President Jing’s Secretary, Li Xi. President Jing asked me to bring you your meal.”
“Oh, okay.” He Miao raised her hand to take the thermos, but Li Xi pulled her hand back the moment she was about to touch it.
She looked at Li Xi in confusion and asked with a frown, “What’s the matter?”
“Nothing much.” Li Xi had a smile on her face, but her eyes were full of scorn. “I’m just curious about your relationship with President Jing.”
“I’m afraid this is none of your business.” He Miao furrowed her brows in frustration. She had been hungry the whole night and now she needed to eat. This woman was actually finding trouble for her at this time!
This was the Secretary Jing Yan sent!
He Miao was angry, and her calm expression cracked.
Li Xi mistook her anger for embarrassment. She was more and more certain that she had been pestering President Jing on purpose, and that President Jing had taken care of her only because her father had mentioned Old Master Jing.
Now that she knew what was going on, she began to tease her. She flipped her hair arrogantly and looked at He Miao provocatively. “Since you have nothing to do with President Jing, then let me tell you now. My father has been the butler of the Jing family for decades. I have been close to Jing Yan since I was young. The position of Mrs. Jing can only be mine from now on. I’m warning you, don’t come and bother him again. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude!”
“Oh?” He Miao’s interest was piqued. She crossed her arms and leaned sideways against the door, looking at her from the corner of her eyes. “What do you mean by rude? Can you tell me?”
Li Xi did not seem to expect this person to be so ignorant. She snorted coldly and said fiercely, “If you don’t know what’s good for you and insist on pestering Jing Yan, don’t blame me for being the first one to cut you down when I become Madam Jing in the future!”
When He Miao heard this, she could not help but laugh out loud. She clutched her stomach and laughed for a while before she managed to stop laughing.
Li Xi’s face grew darker and darker. Her eyes widened, and her black eyeballs looked like they were about to fall out. “What are you laughing at? Are you mocking me? You don’t believe me?”
“I believe you, I believe you.” He Miao’s mood brightened up after hearing the biggest joke in the world. She complimented her on her wicked heart, “I believe that you are the future Madam Jing. In that case, I don’t dare to eat the food you sent. Why don’t you help me bring it back to Jing Yan? You two can have dinner together.”
Li Xi thought about it carefully. She was looking forward to the development of her plot with Jing Yan. She could not help but be moved. “Do you really think so?”
“Yup,” He Miao raised her eyebrows and sent her off. “You can go back first, then. I’ll just eat something at home. Take care. I won’t send you off.”
After closing the door, He Miao’s expression turned cold. She went to the kitchen and cooked two dishes to fill her stomach, then lay on the bed, waiting for Jing Yan’s news.
In the bedroom, Jing Yan was sprawled on the bed, staring at He Miao in a daze. When he was locked in the bedroom just now, he had heard the conversation between the two of them clearly. Now, he looked at He Miao with a somewhat sad expression.
This woman must be here to disgust him on purpose. How dare she call herself future Mrs. Jing? Let’s see how he’ll teach her a lesson when he returns to his body!
However, to be honest, he was to blame for this. He had sent such a mentally-challenged secretary to bring her food, causing her to go hungry and cook by herself.
Thinking of this, the anger in Jing Yan’s heart dissipated, leaving only a heart full of malice towards Li Xi.
In the CEO’s office on the top floor of the company, Li Xi held the thermos in her hand and knocked on the door nervously, but no one answered.
She had been a little agitated by her love rival’s praise, but now that she had calmed down, she realized that she might have caused trouble. But since things had come to this, she could only force herself to explain to Jing Yan. In short, she just had to push the blame to He Miao.
She clicked on the recording on her phone and listened to He Miao calling her Mrs. Jing again. She was very pleased with herself. Even though she might have to face Jing Yan’s anger, it was a great thing for her to drive away a love rival!
The office door was locked from the inside, so Li Xi knew that Jing Yan must be inside. She hugged the thermos and sat at the door like an obedient and gentle wife, waiting for him to come out.
After an unknown period of time, Li Xi had long fallen asleep on the table. The office door was then opened from the inside.
When she heard the sound, she stood up abruptly and stammered as she handed over the thermos, “Miss He said she doesn’t want to eat the food you sent to her, so she asked me to send it back to you.”
After saying that, she stole a glance at Jing Yan’s face, swallowed her saliva, and continued in a hesitant tone, “President Jing, you haven’t eaten yet, right? The food is still warm, why don’t you eat first? I’ve been waiting for you all this time. I’m so hungry, can we eat together?”
