Bai Ningshuang stared at the address in disbelief: "You...you were dumped in the village? Damn it, the Xiang family went too far, I'm going to settle accounts with them!"
She started the car and was about to rush towards the Xiang family's house when Xiang Jin quickly stopped her and wrote another sentence: "No, my husband's family lives there. I... am married."
"What? You're married?!" Bai Ningshuang was even more shocked.
On the way to Fengjia Village, Xiang Jinzai carefully explained the whole story. After listening, Bai Ningshuang cursed the Xiang family ancestors and then began to list all of Xiang Jinzai's faults.
"Ah Jin, you got married and didn't even tell me. That's so unfair of you."
Every time Bai Ningshuang lost her temper, Xiang Jin would act like a docile kitten: "I'm sorry... I didn't mean to not tell you. I didn't even remember. I've completely forgotten about it."
"If you're going to get married, then get married. But to marry into such a village, without even a ring or a wedding, is this how a human being lives?" Bai Ningshuang sighed repeatedly.
Xiang Jin became even more obedient: "He's very good to me, and he even lets me manage his salary." Although she didn't know how much money was in it.
"Do you know if he has any relatives, what kind of work he does, or what his hobbies are?"
Xiang Jin was stunned: "He...he keeps his work confidential."
Bai Ning rubbed her temples, unable to continue the conversation: "Ah Jin, you're going to drive me crazy."
After sending her to Fengjia Village, Bai Ningshuang looked around at this ordinary and poor home and sighed even more deeply.
She carried the new clothes she bought today into the house: "Your birthday is coming soon, and I don't have anything good to give you, so I just bought a few outfits. Ah Jin, I hope you have a happy birthday."
Xiang Jin belatedly realized that all these clothes were specially chosen for her.
She had completely forgotten that her birthday was approaching.
"Shuangshuang, thank goodness you're here." Xiang Jin gently hugged her; if it weren't for her, her life would have been even more difficult.
"Ah Jin, as long as you're doing well, I'll be happy. So, never give up, luck will always smile upon you," Bai Ningshuang encouraged her.
"Yes, I definitely will!"
……………………
That day, Fengrong's senior management was lectured for a full three hours.
Lately, the boss has been acting strangely, easily angered and quick to criticize even the smallest things, leaving no one who attends the meeting unscathed.
After the meeting, a senior executive quietly pulled Su Ming aside and said, "What's wrong with the boss lately? If he keeps being so downcast, I'm going to get depressed."
Su Ming sighed.
He patted a senior executive on the shoulder earnestly: "Judging from this, the Cold War is not over yet. Just do your job well and wish yourself good luck."
A high-ranking official's face was etched with tears.
Back in the CEO's office, Murong Xiao was frowning as he looked at the stock market when the office door was suddenly pushed open.
"Honey, how about you come with me to dinner tonight? There's a really good steakhouse." Fang Xinman walked in from outside. She was wearing a black dress with a beige shawl draped over her shoulders, and her long brown hair was styled in big, wavy curls, hanging down naturally.
She was one of Murong Xiao's female companions.
She was more beautiful and poised than Yi Liuli.
Murong Xiao didn't even raise his head.
"Darling, I'm hungry." Fang Xinman stepped forward without waiting for a reply, straddled Murong Xiao, grabbed his tie, and breathed softly into his ear, "Don't you want to feed me first?"
Her lips brushed lightly against Murong Xiao's lips.
Murong Xiao raised his eyes and looked at Su Ming.
Su Ming snapped to attention and immediately understood: "I'll go take care of other things first. Call me if you need anything, Young Master." After saying that, he quickly left the office and thoughtfully closed the door behind him.
This is how it's always been handled, and this time will be no exception.
It's good to have a woman by your side; she can vent her frustrations and stop thinking about her wife all the time, and the people under her command won't have such a hard time either.
Su Ming felt much more at ease. Just as he was about to leave, a loud shout came from inside.
"Su Ming!"
Su Ming trembled with fear and quickly pushed the door open. He saw Fang Xinman standing there, her clothes disheveled, her face pale, and her makeup ruined.
His boss was still sitting there, with a lipstick mark on his neck and an extremely ugly expression.
"What are you still standing here for? Get out of here!" He looked at Fang Xinman, who was standing there.
Fang Xinman felt extremely wronged, tears streaming down her face. She didn't even have time to put on her clothes properly before she tumbled out in a disheveled state.
The office returned to silence.
Murong Xiao rubbed his temples, his deep gaze fixed on the night view outside the window.
These women are all the same; they wear elaborate makeup, designer clothes, and custom-made perfumes, going to great lengths to seduce and please him.
But the more he did this, the more disgusted he became, and he didn't even want to touch it anymore.
For some reason, at this moment, he actually missed that woman. Although she couldn't speak, the way she cooked, wrote quietly, and warmed his feet was a hundred times more pleasing to the eye than these noisy women.
Oh, and warm your feet.
These days, without her to warm his feet, he's been having trouble sleeping again, often waking up in the middle of the night. Once awake, he finds it hard to fall back asleep, and even has the urge to go back to Fengjia Village for a visit.
but--
How could he admit defeat?
How could this woman say such a thing? Where is his dignity as the dignified CEO of Fengrong?
The more he thought about it, the more agitated he became. He lit a cigarette, looked out the window at the world, and suddenly something popped into his head.
He quickly went to his desk, wrote down a number, and handed it to Su Ming: "Call this person and tell her to come and pay back the money."
Ah, he almost forgot that he still owed her money. Paying back money is a perfectly legitimate and aboveboard duty. He was doing serious business, not because he wanted to see her.
"Okay." Su Ming quickly took the number. Wait, isn't this his wife's number?!
Pay back the money? What money?
Is the BOSS planning to meet her under the identity of Murong Xiao?
Su Ming had many questions in his mind, but he didn't dare to ask them now, so he had no choice but to dial the phone number as his boss instructed.
"Hello Ms. Xiang, when you were hospitalized before, our CEO Xiao paid for your medical expenses. You said you would come to repay the money in person, but we haven't received it yet." Xiang Jin had just gotten off work when she received a call from an unknown number. The voice sounded somewhat familiar.
Unable to answer, Xiang Jin hung up and texted back: "Sorry, I haven't been paid yet. Can I get paid a few days later?"
The text message came back quickly: "No."
Xiang Jin frowned, thought for a moment, and then replied, "How about tomorrow?"
It's raining today, so I can't ride my bike. The buses are also out of service. It would take at least two hours to walk to Fengrong Group, and I don't have any money on me.
The text message reply came quickly: "No."
Xiang Jin sighed. It seemed he would have to make the trip himself.
