"Miss Jiang..."
The man on the other end of the phone spoke in a cold, deep voice, "We don't seem to be familiar enough to call each other that so intimately."
All her enthusiasm was shattered by the man's cold voice.
In the airport terminal, Jiang Wanru was taken aback, a faint smile appearing on her lips. "It's only been a year since we last met, and Master Fu is still as cold and ruthless as ever."
There was no response from the other end.
Knowing that Fu Yanci had never been very patient with women, and fearing that he might hang up on her at the slightest disagreement, Jiang Wanruo adopted a more businesslike tone, "I figured Mr. Fu probably wasn't asleep yet at this hour, so I'd like to schedule a time with you tomorrow morning at 10 a.m. to discuss the details of the Tenix collaboration. Does Mr. Fu have time?"
"Since this is work-related, please contact my assistant during work hours."
The voice on the phone grew colder, seemingly containing a hint of anger, as if her call was ill-timed.
Jiang Wanruo's smile was almost impossible to hold back.
Before she could even apologize, the dial tone sounded as the call was disconnected.
People were coming and going in the hall. Jiang Wanru's expression froze, and a hint of anger appeared on her face.
When she arrived at the underground parking lot, the car that the Jiang family had come to pick her up was already there.
The car sped towards the city center, and Jiang Wanru made a phone call, "Qiaoqiao, I've arrived... Okay, see you in a bit!"
More than half an hour later, Jiang Wanru pushed open the door and entered the quiet bar called Memories.
On the bar, a light and melodious piano solo played, which seemed particularly comforting in the lonely night.
Jiang Wanru stood there listening for a while, and when she saw someone waving at her from the private room on the second floor, she turned around and went upstairs.
"Honey, I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"
As soon as I entered, I was embraced by my best friend Qiao Xinning, who got straight to the point.
Jiang Wanruo's expression remained unchanged. "Bad news, could it be that Master Fu is already married?"
You know?
Qiao Xinning was taken aback and looked her up and down. "You didn't come back just for this, did you?"
"no!"
Jiang Wanru shook her head, "There's a cooperation project I need to discuss with the Fu family. Plus, it's almost Chinese New Year, and I..."
"Don't give me that!"
Qiao Xinning squinted with a smile, giving her an expression that said, "I've seen right through you." "You didn't even come back last month for your old man's birthday. You think you'd come home for the Spring Festival? Don't be ridiculous!"
Handing her her favorite Icelandic black tea, Qiao Xinning said with a look of disbelief, "Everyone in the industry thinks Master Fu has gone mad. You should have met that Ye Li before. Putting aside the fact that she was engaged to the Zhou family man before, their ages are not suitable. Let's assume Master Fu likes younger, more innocent women, but there's no need for him to marry a woman who was engaged to his own nephew, is there?"
A beautiful and lively face flashed through my mind, but it was somewhat blurry.
Jiang Wanruo took a sip of her cocktail, letting the faint chill slide down her throat and into her heart, before asking, "Isn't there some good news too?"
"Good news..."
Qiao Xinning raised her glass and gave Jiang Wanruo a flirtatious wink, "Not giving up the whole forest for one tree? Congratulations, you've got the key to the forest! From now on, you can have any kind of puppy or wolf you want. You deserve the goodness of a younger brother!"
Jiang Wanruo stroked the glass without making a sound.
After a long pause, he raised his glass with a nonchalant expression. "Since I'm just idling around anyway, I hope I'll have the opportunity to meet that Mrs. Fu."
She wanted to see what was so special about Ye Li.
Fu Yanci was such a cold-hearted person, with a heart as hard as a stone.
She's been holding onto this stone for eight years and still hasn't warmed it up. Would she impulsively get married without even dating?
She doesn't believe it!
