Over on the other end, Jiang Sese was still in a trance-like state after leaving the hospital.What she saw in the hospital was fresh in her memory and Jiang Sese chuckled in a self-mocking way. She thought that she had given up all hope on Jin Fengchen, but the disappointment was still killing her.Only then did Jiang Sese realize that she hadn't given up hope altogether. Deep down, she believed that both Jin Fengchen and Xiaobao liked her and she hadn't stopped trying. She thought that maybe one day, the people of the Jin Family would finally accept her and she could be together with Jin Fengchen.But now...He and Su Qingyin were already making plans to have a baby? Did he want this or had his family forced him into it?One way or another, it meant that she and Jin Fengchen were no longer a possibility.Jiang Sese took a deep breath. She had to let go now.The two of them had no future.Jiang Sese told herself repeatedly that she should accept this reality. She sighed, pulle
After Jin Fengchen left, Jiang Sese ran a bath for Xiaobao, then took him to bed. Xiaobao asked in bewilderment. "Aunt Sese, why did you send Daddy away?"Jing Sese was surprised by the question. Xiaobao then went on. "Aunt Sese, I know I said last night that Daddy will marry someone else, but I believe in him. I know he likes you just like I do. We both want to be with you."Jiang Sese smiled bitterly, but she was convinced that it wasn't possible between her and Jin Fengchen.She wanted to tell Xiaobao that it was only a matter of time before they had to say goodbye, but couldn't bring herself to say those words. Rubbing Xiaobao's head, she said gently, "There, Xiaobao, I hear you. But it's a grown-up matter and you shouldn't be worried about it. It's late. Go to sleep now."Xiaobao heaved a sigh, then curled up in Jiang Sese's arms and closed his eyes....The following day, the housekeeper showed up as usual, taking Xiaobao to school before dropping Jiang Sese off at her offi
In the restaurant, Su Qingyin talked about their business plan in an unhurried tone.The Su Family had started off with a different plan for the bidding, but then the Lan Group proposed to build a hi-tech park on the land, which the Su Group considered to have a lot of potentials. That was why they decided to give the Lan Group a chance.Lan Sichen said, "Please be reassured. The Lan Group will do our best.""Of course. I have faith in you, Mr. Lan," said Su Qingyin.The deal was sealed and an agreement was reached. Lan Sichen looked pleased."Miss Su, I'm looking forward to working with you."Su Qingyin smiled. "Me, too. The Su Group will draw up a contract soon and have it delivered to the Lan Group.""Thank you very much."They then had dinner together. Afterward, Su Qingyin carried out her real plan. Before she left, she took out a card from her handbag and handed it to Jiang Nuannuan with a smile. "Miss Jiang, here's a VIP card to the SK Beauty Salon. Tell them I referred
Xiaobao smiled when he heard that someone thought Jiang Sese was his mother, and he didn't deny it. Instead, he said proudly, "That's right! She's my mommy!"Jiang Sese smiled but said nothing.After saying goodbye to Jiang Sese, Xiaobao followed his teacher into the classroom.Watching him from behind, Jiang Sese felt dazed for a moment. How she wished that Xiaobao was that baby she had given birth to!Immediately, Jiang Sese was shocked by her own thought. She then smiled in resignation. "Of course Xiaobao isn't that baby. The Jin Family is too rich to turn to a surrogate mother for what they need."After that, Jiang Sese began to wonder who Xiaobao's mother could be.But she didn't let herself ponder the question for too long. She went directly to her office after that....Su Shan publicly excoriated some of the staff during the morning meeting."Han Jing, how long have you had that project? Are you ever going to come up with a plausible business plan? SR already wants to
Jiang Sese's face darkened when she heard Han Jing's insulting comment. She could imagine how frustrated Han Jing had to feel at the moment, but she wasn't the type to endure everything in silence.With a smirk, Jiang Sese said, "I don't recall any rules saying we're not allowed to socialize with our clients outside of work. Han Jing, I have succeeded in all my projects because I worked hard for them. You may not have what it takes to do your job right, but don't think everyone else is as despicable as you."After that, Jiang Sese left without taking any information from Han Jing. She went to Su Shan instead to get the general information on the client, then went back to her desk.The others also thought that Han Jing hadn't gotten her facts straight and were convinced that she was obviously jealous of Jiang Sese, which was why no one had backed Han Jing up. The woman sat at her desk, seething with anger.She gritted her teeth. Recalling how difficult the head of the SR Group proje
Early the next morning, Jiang Sese met up with Xu Na, another colleague of hers, at the airport. Xu Na had been assigned by Su Shan as Jiang Sese's temporary assistant.They boarded the plane without any incident and found their seats. Jiang Sese then recognized the person sitting next to them. She greeted him in surprise. "Hello, Senior Lu."Lu Zheng was reading a newspaper and he looked up at her voice. His face lit up."Sese! You're..."Jiang Sese smiled. "I'm on a business trip. This is Xu Na, my colleague. What about you? Are you going for work, too?""Yes." Lu Zheng nodded. "Something has come up in our foreign branch and they need me there.""I see. What a coincidence. We just happen to be on the same flight and sitting next to each other.""That's right! I see that I won't get bored during the trip, then."Lu Zheng's expression softened as he looked at Jiang Sese. He couldn't help wondering how unpredictable fate could be. He had just run into the woman he was in love w
Xu Na was astonished. It was so obvious that Jiang Sese had stayed up the whole night!She now saw why Jiang Sese had been able to succeed in all those major projects. The woman worked her butt off.Back when Han Jing handled the project, Xu Na had flown out here with her as well. However, the first thing Han Jing did upon arrival was sleep, and when she woke up, she did nothing but shop and eat. But now...Jiang Sese stretched herself and rubbed her eyes. "We're set to meet them today. The least I can show them is a satisfactory business plan.""But you work too hard! It's bad for your health!" Xu Na frowned. She knew that Jiang Sese had always been responsible at work, but she didn't expect her to be this responsible! The woman was amazing!Jiang Sese smiled at her. She then put away the files on the desk and said, "I'm done. I'll take a nap now. Wake me up at noon."Xu Na nodded. "Sure. Get some sleep!""All right."Jiang Sese slept all the way until noontime. That afternoon
Jin Fengyao was still wondering what it was about when Jin Fengchen said affirmatively, "You don't have to go. I'll go."Jin Fengyao was dumbfounded."Brother, it's just a minor problem. I can handle it. You don't have to go."Jin Fengyao wondered if his brother had just grown a heart and wanted to save him from the exhausting long flight abroad. As it turned out, he had gotten it completely wrong. The assistant pulled him to the side and told him the truth. "Second Young Master, Miss Jiang is on a business trip in New York."Jin Fengyao saw the light right away and he beamed at his brother."That's great. Brother, I see that you've learned! Cross an ocean for your wife? You have my blessing!"Jin Fengchen ignored his brother and only told his assistant to book him on the next flight to New York. Su Qingyin arrived outside the office to deliver some files at that moment and she overheard the conversation inside.She paused. "Jin Fengchen is going abroad? For Jiang Sese?"Su Qin
