After thinking about it, Jiang Sese deemed it impossible.It was Jin Fengchen, after all! The President of the Jin Group! How could a nobleman like him come and fetch her personally?He probably meant that he was waiting for her outside her home.The more she thought about it, the more plausible this thought became. Not daring to tarry, she hastily packed up and exited the building. She wanted to hail a cab and go home.The night was still early and there were still many cars on the road. However, for some reason, she couldn't see an empty cab even after waiting for a long while.When she was about to panic, a black Bentley quietly stopped beside her.The car window slid down, revealing two faces—one older, one younger.Both faces were similarly delicate and perfect. It was as if the younger one was a miniature version of the older one.The older one had the face of a deity; the younger one was too cute for words. Two short, fleshy arms emerged from the car and waved at her hap
His words stunned the three people in the house."A woman?" Jin Fengyao was the first to recover his senses. His expression betrayed how excited he felt. "B-brother… is she the same one you told me about?""Which one?"Master Jin was the second to recover. His gaze shifted to his second son.Jin Fengyao replied cheerfully, "Well, a woman. I heard him say that he might be marrying her.""Marry her?"Madam Jin also snapped back to her senses. She said in disbelief, "You have a marriage candidate in mind? Who is she? Which family is she from? How old is she? What does she look like? What about her family background?"Her barrage of questions gave Jin Fengchen a massive headache."Mom, can you all calm down?""All right, we will calm down. But you have to give us an explanation!"Madam Jin looked at him solemnly; it was clear from her expression that she didn't believe that her eldest son would have a marriage candidate in mind.After all, he detested women. Whenever he saw one,
Jiang Sese and Xiaobao had just woken up from their sleep when Jin Fengyao arrived early the next morning.The man stood tall and straight in a well-fitting suit that made him look even more dignified. His delicate facial features made him look like an exquisite carving. His thin lips were pressed tightly together, his expression carrying an air of coldness and solemnity. His eyes were so fascinating that one couldn't bear to look away.Jiang Sese stared at him, caught in a momentary daze.She only snapped back to her senses after a while. Disoriented, she asked, "Mr. Jin, why did you come over so early?"Jin Fengchen appeared a little happy and his tone sounded considerably lighter. "I brought you and Xiaobao breakfast."He shook a bag of food in front of her.Jiang Sese immediately took the bag from his hands and said, "Come in then. I'll put the food on some plates."He nodded and walked into the house with large strides.It so happened that Xiaobao was walking out of the be
Five years had passed since then. Jiang Sese thought that she could remain calm and serene when she saw them again.The truth was that the hatred that she had suppressed for God knows how long was surging and wreaking havoc in her mind.Her memories flashed in front of her like the replay of an old movie. In her ears was Jiang Nuannuan's shrill laughter: "I was the one who removed your mother's oxygen mask.""Jiang Sese, I want to ruin you!""Dad is mine; the Jiang family fortune is mine; Brother Sichen is mine. You're just a child abandoned by our family…"Her every word still burned vividly in her mind.Not wanting to have anything to do with them, she turned and entered the break room.The sharp-eyed Jiang Nuannuan was distracted when she caught sight of a familiar figure. She blurted out, "That was…""Hmm? What's wrong?" Lan Sichen was talking to Li Sheng when he heard her speak. He couldn't help turning his head to question her.Jiang Nuannuan shook her head and said with
Jiang Sese spent the entire morning buried in work, quickly forgetting what had happened earlier. She didn't see Jiang Nuannuan and Lan Sichen again.That made her think that they had already left.At noon, He Lin asked her out for lunch but she turned it down. She went to the washroom instead.To her surprise, she ran into Jiang Nuannuan reapplying her makeup when she walked out of the toilet stall.Briefly stunned, her eyes soon turned dark. She slowly walked over to the sink to wash her hands.The two of them stood side by side.Jiang Nuannuan observed Jiang Sese through the mirror, her red lips forming a sneer. "We meet again, my dear sister."Jiang Sese didn't even spare her a glance as if she didn't hear her.Jiang Nuannuan wasn't bothered. "I thought something happened to you when I didn't hear from you for five whole years. I never expected you to be hiding in a small company like this. Sister… you're still living as poorly as before!"She let out a mocking chuckle.J
The order to kneel and apologize stunned everyone. Yan Yifei, however, wanted nothing more than to see Jiang Sese in trouble. Her eyes were filled with joy at the latter's misfortune.Lan Sichen frowned, but didn't express anything else. He had evidently given his tacit agreement of Jiang Nuannuan's demand.Li Sheng was the only one who hesitated. "That… that's a bit improper, isn't it?"It would be too humiliating for Jiang Sese to kneel and apologize!Jiang Nuannuan widened her eyes and said indignantly, "What do you mean, President Li? Then it is proper for me to be slapped by your employee?"Li Sheng said fearfully, "That's not what I mean.""Since that's not the case, then what else is there to say?" Jiang Nuannuan redirected her gaze to Jiang Sese, her expression frighteningly cold. "Jiang Sese! Right now, immediately! Kneel and apologize to me!"Jiang Sese looked at her disdainfully. "I'd only kneel to the dead."Jiang Nuannuan was so furious that her entire body was sha
Thanks to the trouble Jiang Sese got herself in, Li Sheng decided to have her pack up and leave after much deliberation. He also returned the Jin Group project to Yan Yifei's hands.Jiang Sese wasn't at all surprised.After all, the other party was a famous corporation. It didn't make sense for the company to offend them for the sake of a lowly employee like her.He Lin was in low spirits upon hearing that she was leaving. She hugged Jiang Sese and said, "Sese, I know that you will be able to find a better job. Work hard and don't lose heart."A shred of warmth entered Jiang Sese's cold husk of a heart.The rest of the space, however, was filled with regret.She… would have to break her promise.She had lost the chance to design an unforgettable birthday celebration for Xiaobao!Remembering that adorable child gave her the urge to cry. She didn't know how to vent all the guilt that was overwhelming her.Unable to control her emotions, she fished out her phone to give him a cal
Everyone stared at the magnified photo on the screen with their mouths open, unable to snap out of it for a long time.They only came their senses moments later and turned to look at each other in disbelief. Their gazes seemed to suggest: "Is this an illusion? There's a photo of a woman on our president's phone?"But it wasn't an illusion!They became fired up, unable to hide their raging desire for gossip. They stretched their necks to get a closer look at the face of the woman on the screen.Some speculated that it was a lady from some rich family.Some were even brighter and wondered if this was their boss's future wife...Before they could get a clear look at her face, though, the screen flickered and the photo of the beautiful woman vanished into thin air.Looking like nothing had happened, Jin Fengchen disconnected his phone in an unruffled manner. His eyes were as detached as ever as he said calmly, "Let's end our meeting here. Go back to work."Everyone looked away from
