“I’ve always thought you were very capable, just like the kind of independent woman I’ve read about in books.” Sun Ze’an’s admiring gaze remained fixed on Jiang Xue.
Jiang Xue laughed and said, "Those who don't have umbrellas have to hold one for themselves."
“I think you are very brave. In this day and age, it is really not easy to give up such a stable job and go into business.”
A cold wind blew by as Sun Ze'an walked side by side with Jiang Xue. "Yes, that's why my mother stopped us."
Sun Ze'an suddenly stopped in his tracks. "Was that a difficult time for you?"
His eyes were filled with endless reluctance.
Jiang Xue smiled sheepishly, "I even got your mother laid off, and you didn't blame me. You even comforted me. How can I, KK, bear this?"
“Hahaha…” Sun Ze’an laughed, seemingly relieved.
The two arrived at a small tavern.
Sun Ze'an very gentlemanly let Jiang Xue order the food.
"I'm not hungry, just order a couple of dishes. Also, I'll be walking home at night, and I don't drink alcohol."
"Don't worry, I won't let you drink. I'll take you home later."
Jiang Xue waved her hand, "I'm not afraid, it's alright, it's alright."
Jiang Xue was busy all afternoon and only ate some wontons at noon. She's still hungry.
"Where do you plan to build your new factory?" Jiang Xue asked curiously while eating.
Sun Ze smiled and said, "It won't be long, I'll take you next time."
Jiang Xue and Sun Ze'an were having a pleasant chat when
As Gu Xiaohei walked down the street, he saw Jiang Xue and Sun Ze'an having dinner together. He then glanced at Ji Chen standing next to him.
At this moment, Ji Chen's face had turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
He stormed into the tavern, looking at the water in the plastic cup in front of Jiang Xue, assuming it was alcohol.
"You're drinking with someone in the middle of the night?" Ji Chen greeted Jiang Xue with a barbed tone.
Jiang Xue was already in a bad mood, especially when she thought about how Huang Yinyin and Ji Chen were being so affectionate, not giving her any face in front of so many people. She was angry just thinking about it.
“Yes, what’s wrong with talking about life and ideals?” Jiang Xue didn’t even give Ji Chen a cold look.
Sun Ze'an could tell that the two seemed to be having some kind of conflict.
He sneered, "Let's just chat. I'll take Jiang Xue home when we're done."
Jiang Xue knew in her heart that Sun Ze'an was deliberately causing trouble, but she thought, "Let him cause trouble. After all, Ji Chen treated me like that today."
Ji Chen gritted his teeth, feeling extremely angry, but how could he possibly suffer a setback in front of Sun Ze'an?
"Then you two chat, I won't disturb you any longer." After saying that, Ji Chen walked out of the tavern.
Seeing this, Gu Xiaohei quickly followed Ji Chen to another small tavern for a meal.
Ji Chen thought Jiang Xue would come out to chase after him, but after walking for a while, he looked into the tavern through the glass window and saw Jiang Xue still chatting and laughing.
"Brother, why don't you take your wife home? It's so late at night, why is she getting so close to that pretty boy?" Gu Xiaohei felt a little guilty.
Ji Chen's face had long since turned as black as the bottom of a pot. "Let her go. You go and tell her I'll be waiting for her at the company. Let her handle it herself."
Ji Chen originally wanted to go up and pull Jiang Xue away directly, but then thought he should give her some face so that Sun Ze'an wouldn't think he was so petty.
But Jiang Xue thought differently.
She felt uneasy for a while, and her chest felt tight.
In her opinion, Ji Chen really didn't care about her as much as she imagined. Jiang Xue, who had never felt secure since childhood, felt an indescribable bitterness in her heart at this neglect.
