A moment later, Jiang Sese walked out of the fitting room. The suitable cutting of the dress accentuated her petite waist. The simple and elegant light yellow made her temperament seem a lot more gentle and beautiful. She seemed so much more beautiful. Shang Ying’s eyes filled with surprise and praised her, “Sese, you look really good in this!” “Really?” Jiang Sese could not help but smile as she looked at herself in the mirror. “It really does look good.” One of the store’s employees standing aside complimented her as well. Jiang Sese felt that this dress did look good, and she nodded. “We’ll take this then.” “Will you not look at others?” Shang Ying asked. Even though she did look good in this dress, Shang Ying could not help but feel like it was too prudish. Jiang Sese really did not want to try anything else. She wrapped her arm around Shang Ying’s shoulder and said in a slightly whiny voice, “Aunty, let’s not look anymore okay? Let’s just take this one, I like it
At her insistence, Jiang Sese paid for the tea set herself. Shangguan Yuan felt a little bit apologetic, so she suggested, “It’s getting late in the day, let me treat you to lunch.” “This…” Jiang Sese looked at Shang Ying. Shang Ying looked at her and answered happily. “Sure.” Jiang Sese naturally knew what Shang Ying was thinking about, and she could not help but laugh. Shangguan Yuan smiled when she saw Shang Ying agree. “Let’s go then, I know a good place nearby.” Shang Ying looked at her happily. “We’ll have to trouble you then.” Shangguan Yuan led them to a private restaurant not far away. “I’ve come here since I was young, the chef is great. You’ll see when you eat your meal.” Shangguan Yuan walked into the restaurant with familiarity, with Jiang Sese and Shang Ying following behind them. “What a nice place.” Jiang Sese could not help but marvel as they entered the lounge. The decor had an antiquated air to it. It was serene and refined. Looking out of the w
Before Jiang Sese could come up with a reply, Shang Ying spoke up first. “Fengchen trusts the both of you, that’s why he hands everything over to the both of you.” Jiang Sese hurriedly agreed. “That’s right, he trusts you.” “It is a great honor to obtain Chairman Jin’s trust.” Shangguan Yuan smiled, and said nothing else. It was already past 1pm when they had finished lunch. They had just walked out of the restaurant when Jiang Sese’s phone suddenly rang. It was Jin Fengchen. “Is it Fengchen?” Shang Ying asked. Jiang Sese nodded, before she took her phone aside. They had not noticed that Shangguan Yuan’s face instantly became a bit strange at the words “Fengchen”. Jiang Sese picked up the phone to hear Jin Fengchen’s unique, low voice say, “Will you be home soon?” “Yeah, in a bit.” “Do you need me to pick you guys up?” Jiang Sese turned to look at Shang Ying and replied, “If it’s too much trouble, it’s fine.” “Where are you?” Jin Fengchen wasted no words, and im
“Make things lively?” Shang Ying sneered. “Did you even think of dad who’s still lying in the hospital alone?” Chen Yun was displeased at this. “Sister, today is your brother’s birthday, couldn’t you not bring this up and make things difficult for us?” “How have I made things difficult for you? Have I said anything wrong?” Seeing the trouble brewing, Jiang Sese hurriedly stepped in to make peace. “Okay, let’s not talk about this. We don’t want to air our dirty linen in public.” Shang Ying and Chen Yun both fell silent at those words. Shang Ying sighed deeply. “Whatever. In any case the both of you never cared for dad.” “Shang Ying, what do you mean by that?” Chen Yun was displeased once more. “Aunty Chen Yun, Aunty Shang Ying just lost her head in the moment. Don’t get mad, you still have to entertain the guests.” Jiang Sese said pleasantly to assuage her. Shang Ying could not take it anymore, and she took Jiang Sese’s hand. “Sese, let’s go.” She could not go. The
“Miss, could I ask you to go home first? When the party is over we’ll talk about it, okay?” Fang Rui said to the woman in a placating tone. The woman did not give him any face. “No! I know that if I walk out this door today, I’ll never see Fang Yanqin again.” It was not obvious, but this woman was quite smart. Chen Yun stepped forward, her face full of smiles. She said gently, “I know Yanqin has done you wrong, but today is Yanqin’s father’s birthday party. I hope you could give us some face, okay?” “Give you face? Then who will be responsible for me and my child?” As she said this, the woman suddenly burst into tears. “Do you think I want to be here? If it’s not for the baby in my womb, I would rather die than be here.” “How pitiful, no matter how you look at it the child is innocent.” “That’s right, at the end of the day Fang Yanqin has gone too far. He got someone pregnant and now refuses to take responsibility.” “I think I’ll need to keep an eye on my daughter, she
Jin Fengchen did not think he would say that, and his face instantly darkened. Shangguan Yuan smiled, and her gaze was fixed on his handsome face. “Chairman Jin, don’t you think I’m right?” Jin Fengchen’s eyes were cold as he spoke with a voice that was filled with frost, “Sese treats you as a friend, don’t you think you shouldn’t say such things?” “It’s because we’re friends that I dare to speak like this. We need to be honest, right?” Shangguan Yuan could not comprehend where she was wrong, and she acted as though she were in the right. Jin Fengchen smiled coldly. “It’s not your place to speak of Sese and I. Ms. Shangguan, please conduct yourself with dignity.” After he said this, he strode off to Jiang Sese, leaving her alone in the cold. Shangguan Yuan gripped the wine glass in her hand tightly, unhappiness clear on her face. She was more outstanding than Jiang Sese, she was more suited for him than Jiang Sese, but why did he only have eyes for Jiang Sese? She was
Yuan Qingsong caught it in a rush and looked down. When he saw his name, his expression changed slightly, but he quickly recovered. He asked calmly, “Is there a problem with me exporting?” Fang Yuchen smiled. “No.” “Then what have you brought me here for? I can report you for kidnapping.” Yuan Qingsong acted like he was in the right. “I remember the Yuan family’s businesses are not connected to medicinal herbs at all; why would you suddenly export them? Have you changed your business?” “I--” Yuan Qingsong was clearly a little panicked now. “Do I have to tell you about my business?” Fang Yuchen ignored him. He casually flipped through the list and read it aloud. “Western Regions Chinese aconite, Poinsettia…” He had read out the names of rare medicinal herbs. Even the Fang Group, which were medicinal herbs traders, would be unable to produce such large quantities of those medicinal herbs. However, it would definitely be suspicious that Yuan Qingsong, who was not in the indu
Jiang Sese knew that they were going to talk about work, so she took the hint and returned to her room. Jin Fengchen and Fang Yuchen went to the study. As soon as they went in, Fang Yuchen said, “Yuan Qingsong confessed that Fang Yiming had him export the medicinal herbs.” Jin Fengchen was rather surprised. “He confessed so readily?” “Yeah.” Fang Yuchen nodded. “At the end of the day, Yuan Qingsong is a selfish man. He gave up everything to preserve himself.” “What do you intend to do now?” Jin Fengchen asked. Fang Yuchen thought for a while. “I’d like to interrogate Fang Yiming personally.” “Will you be able to make him admit to everything?” “No.” Fang Yiming had always been very shrewd since young, and he was very smart. It would take a lot of effort to get him to confess. Expecting this answer, Jin Fengchen smiled imperceptibly. “Have we caught the person who injected the poison?” “No, but the police have a lead. They should be able to catch him very soon.” J
