The shopkeeper blocked their view, so the two looked away and started eating.
"Is this young lady... Mr. Xu's girlfriend?"
Fang Xinman turned her gaze to Xiang Jin.
Xiang Jin kept her head down and ate her food.
She didn't dare to look up after spotting Murong Xiao.
Suddenly called out by Fang Xinman, whose words were clearly meant to sow discord, she quickly replied, "No. President Xu is hungry. I was working overtime, so I was just treating my employees."
Xu Jianshen nodded.
Murong Xiao's expression softened slightly.
"Working overtime on the weekend, is Mr. Xu short of money?" Murong Xiao said sarcastically.
“We don’t lack employees, but I appreciate dedicated staff.” Xu Jianshen met his eyes.
It's started again...
Xiang Jin continued to eat her food with her head down.
She probably ate too much and felt a little nauseous, so she picked up the cup next to her to drink some water.
"Wait a minute, this is wine." Xu Jianshen silently took Xiang Jin's cup and poured her a cup of hot water.
“…Thank you.” Xiang Jin lowered his head and drank.
Murong Xiao's expression darkened, and he silently withdrew his outstretched hand.
Seeing that Xiang Jin had stopped eating, presumably because she was full, Xu Jianshen said, "Then I won't disturb Mr. Xiao and Miss Fang's date any longer. I'll take Xiang Jin home first, otherwise her husband will worry."
"Enjoy your meal, you two." Xiang Jin picked up her phone and left with Xu Jianshen.
"I remember, Mr. Xu, it's not on your way, is it? Don't you live in the north?" Murong Xiao's cold voice rang out.
"Yes, but she's my employee, and I have an obligation to be responsible for her safety."
"Why don't you come and deliver it yourself, so that Mr. Xu doesn't make a wasted trip?" Murong Xiao stood up and buttoned his suit jacket.
Xu Jianshen was slightly surprised.
He looked at Xiang Jin.
"Let's forget it, no need to trouble you, Mr. Xiao." After saying that, Xiang Jin turned and walked towards the Audi.
Murong Xiao's car still needed to take Fang Xinman, and she wasn't in the mood to be in the same space with her for the time being; she didn't want to suffer from indigestion.
"Xiangjin, put on your seatbelt," Xu Jianshen said.
Xiang Jin didn't move.
"Xiangjin?"
Xiang Jin remained motionless.
Never mind. Xu Jianshen turned to the side, gently picked up the strap with his left hand, brushed it across her chest, and finally fastened it.
"Sorry, I can do it myself." Xiang Jin quickly came to her senses and found that it was already fastened.
"Thanks."
"You're welcome."
Xu Jianshen rolled up the car window, and the Audi drove forward at a steady speed, gradually disappearing from Murong Xiao's sight.
"Snap—" The disposable chopsticks in Murong Xiao's hand were broken in two.
The debris embedded itself in the flesh, oozing bright red blood.
His gaze was fixed on the direction where the Audi had disappeared, but the image that flashed through his mind was of him fastening Xiang Jin's seatbelt.
An indescribable sense of frustration welled up in his chest, and with a loud crash, he smashed the wine bottle on the table.
*
Xiang Jin remained silent throughout the journey.
Sensing that she was acting strangely, Xu Jianshen didn't say anything.
The car quickly arrived at the location Xiang Jin had marked.
"Thank you, Mr. Xu." Xiang Jin unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car.
"You know Murong Xiao?" Xu Jianshen asked out of the blue.
Xiang Jin was slightly taken aback, then smiled: "How could I possibly know someone as high and mighty as Master Xiao?"
"Really? Then how did he know you live nearby?" Xu Jianshen asked, and without waiting for Xiang Jin's answer, he started the car and drove away.
Back at the Lakeside Villa, Xiang Jin went straight upstairs, turned off the lights, and went to sleep.
Only in this way can I stop myself from overthinking.
Downstairs in the car, looking at the bedroom light that was off, Murong Xiao rolled up the car window with a sullen face.
"We're already at the doorstep, aren't you going up, Mr. Xiao?" Fang Xinman asked tentatively.
Murong Xiao remained silent.
"Speaking of which, Miss Xiang is quite popular. She has good relationships with both Young Master Gu and President Xu." Fang Xinman smiled gently, appearing completely harmless.
Murong Xiao snorted coldly: "I remember you had a better relationship with them."
Fang Xinman's smile froze.
"Don't talk nonsense, Mr. Xiao. You're the only one in my heart, there's no one else." She said in a soft and coquettish voice.
"You mean, my wife has someone else in her heart?" Murong Xiao narrowed his eyes, his aura even more oppressive than before.
Fang Xinman turned pale with fright.
"No, that's not what I meant. Mr. Xiao, you've misunderstood me."
Murong Xiao coldly shouted, "Drive!"
Su Ming quickly stepped on the gas and quietly left the Lakeside Villa. Fang Xinman in the car dared not say another word.
Upon arriving at the company in the morning, Xiang Jin began handling miscellaneous tasks.
Kelly deliberately made things difficult for her, dumping all the miscellaneous tasks from Group Two onto her. Her workload was more than double that of others, and she had to increase her work efficiency if she wanted to leave work on time.
That way, I can go and negotiate with Li Shuhui after get off work.
Just as I was thinking about this, Li Shuhui suddenly called.
"Xiangjin, tonight you'll go to a drinking party in Aqi's place. If we can win over this client, I can arrange for a doctor to treat Jiang Anqing, but you'll have to pay for the medical expenses yourself."
Xiang Jin's eyes lit up, and almost without hesitation, she exclaimed, "I'll go!"
“Listen carefully, this client is of utmost importance to the Xiang family. You must meet his demands as much as possible, otherwise Jiang Anqing’s matter is out of the question.”
I'll try my best.
"I'm going with you, so you better behave yourself, or you'll be in big trouble!"
Xiang Jin didn't want to listen to her rambling, so she hung up the phone directly.
How could Li Shuhui be so kind? She had planned everything. Why would she suddenly give in? This client must be difficult to deal with, and I have to step in myself.
