"Boss, do we need to go back to Haitang Bay?" Su Ming asked tentatively.
Feng Jianian remained silent.
That means I'm not going to reply.
Su Ming wrapped his coat tighter. So the boss had called him out in the middle of the night just to keep him warm in the cold wind. Tsk tsk, the boss's quirks were indeed unbelievable.
Su Ming felt a bit desolate in the wind.
In his dejected state, he noticed that his boss was still staring at the bungalow.
Su Ming thought for a moment, then cleared his throat: "Um... young master, actually being kicked out by your wife isn't something to be ashamed of. According to statistics, 80% of men in the world have been kicked out by their wives at some point. As long as you sincerely apologize and coax your wife a little, she'll usually—"
A sharp, piercing gaze swept over them.
Su Ming was speechless with anger: "They usually end up in a terrible state! Absolutely horrific, utterly tragic!"
The sharp, piercing gaze vanished.
Su Ming finally let out a sigh of relief...
The two continued to brave the cold wind, while Feng Jianian remained intently focused on the bungalow.
The light was still on in the bedroom of the bungalow.
The woman said she would wait for him to come home, but he wanted to see if she would really wait for him to come home.
Just then, the lights in the bedroom of the bungalow went out, and the people inside went to sleep peacefully.
Feng Jianian was stunned for a moment, then his face immediately darkened.
This woman clearly said she would wait for him, but less than half an hour later, she actually fell asleep?
Her husband stormed off in the middle of the night, and she actually slept soundly without a care in the world?
He spent a whole day thinking of winning the lottery as a way to make her happy, and this is how she repays him?
An indescribable sense of unease began to rise in his chest. He was filled with rage and punched the locust tree. The tree shook twice and white blossoms fluttered down.
He crushed the white flowers violently and shouted sternly, "Back to Haitang Bay!"
"If I, Murong Xiao, ever pay any attention to this woman again, I'm a pig!"
……………………
When I woke up in the morning, the blankets next to me were cool.
Feng Jianian did not return.
Xiang Jin thought for a moment and sent him a message: "Jianian, didn't you come back last night? Take care of yourself while you're working. I'm going to make spicy fish tonight."
I didn't reply to your text message; I guess you're busy.
At this time, at the headquarters of Fengrong Group.
Murong Xiao sat in the CEO's seat, looking at the text messages on his phone.
He frowned, staring intently at the line of words.
Ha, she finds it strange. She clearly said she was just making do, but now she's lowering herself to coax him. Isn't that contradictory?
However, you think you can appease him with just a text message? Is Murong Xiao so easily coaxed?
Frustrated, he tossed his phone aside and continued studying the stock trading situation, but the phone didn't ring again.
This made him even angrier.
"I'm working overtime tonight, I won't be going back." He replied curtly to the text message and tossed the phone to Su Ming. "From now on, I won't answer any of her calls or reply to any of her texts!"
Su Ming: "...Yes."
……………………
As Xiang Jin was leaving get off work in the evening, she yawned while reading the text message Feng Jianian had sent her.
"Go home and get some rest early today. I've seen you yawning all day," Sister Ding said, handing her a bottle of water.
Xiang Jin nodded. She hadn't slept well last night. When Jia Nian left, it was windy outside, and she was worried that he would get cold. She was also worried that he might be too tired from working overtime. In short, she didn't fall asleep until the early hours of the morning.
However, she couldn't rest early today. Since Jia Nian was working overtime, she didn't need to rush home to cook. She might as well go to Feng Rong to return Murong Xiao's money.
She doesn't have the habit of accumulating debts; the sooner she pays them back, the more at ease she feels.
After making up her mind, she immediately ran back to the warehouse, looked around the rest room, and searched for things.
"What are you looking for?" Zhang Xiaofu asked her coldly after looking at her for a while.
"It's nothing, just looking for a bag to put things in." Xiang Jin finished signing and continued searching.
"This looks like no one's using it. It's been sitting in the lounge for a long time. You can take it." Zhang Xiaofu handed her a gray zippered duffel bag.
Xiang Jin was stunned for a moment.
This was the first time Zhang Xiaofu had offered to help her.
"Thank you," she said, taking the bag.
This is an old-fashioned duffel bag, mostly used by migrant workers when they go out to work. The bag is sturdy, durable, and cheap, which is why they like it the most.
It's also safe to store money there.
"No need. If you have any conscience, you should talk to Guan Ming. He became like this because of you. How can you live with yourself?" Zhang Xiaofu said indignantly.
Just as Xiang Jin was about to say something, she had already left the warehouse.
Xiang Jin took the bag and went out the door.
She first rode her bike to the bank. Since she didn't have Murong Xiao's bank card, she had to withdraw 100,000 yuan in cash from the ATM. After putting the money in a bag, she rode her bike to Fengrong Building.
The receptionist on duty this time is the same young lady as last time.
She was very beautiful, and her name was written on the nameplate on her left chest: Lu Feifei.
"Hello, are you here to see President Xiao?" Lu Feifei had met him once before and was deeply impressed by him. She instinctively wanted to call the secretariat, but Xiang Jin quickly stopped her.
"Excuse me, could you please give this to him?" Xiang Jin handed her the bag.
Lu Feifei chuckled: "You...you're not pretending to be carrying money again, are you?"
Xiang Jin nodded, somewhat embarrassed.
After what happened last time, she was even more reluctant to see him. Although she secretly wanted to see him, reason prevailed over emotion, and she didn't want to get herself into a deeper quagmire.
Therefore, it's better to end things this way.
After that, we'll go our separate ways and become strangers.
Thinking of this, Xiang Jin felt a dull ache in her chest.
“I’m sorry, we can’t pass it on for you. If it’s convenient for you, you can give it to Mr. Xiao in person. He’s at the hotel next door, and I can arrange for someone to take you there.” Lu Feifei pushed the old-fashioned bag back into Xiang Jin’s arms and said apologetically.
"This isn't quite right," Xiang Jin wrote on the paper.
He's at the hotel, probably busy with something important. If I barge in, it might cause a bad impression.
“It’s alright, it shouldn’t take much time. Xiao Zhuo—” Lu Feifei waved to the man behind her and pointed to Xiang Jin, “This guest needs to see President Xiao, please take her there.”
Xiao Zhu hesitated for a moment: "Now?"
“Yes, this guest is very special, we can’t be careless,” Lu Feifei said, leaning closer to Xiao Zhuo, her words full of sincerity.
Since it's a special case, we'll have to make an exception and let him pass. Xiao Zhu nodded and gestured for him to come with her: "Please follow me."
Xiang Jin hesitated.
Then I thought, since I'm already here, and if I'm going to settle things, I might as well do it quickly. The money was paid, the debt cleared, and she could finally live a carefree life without having to worry about it anymore.
With that thought in mind, Xiang Jin, carrying the bag, headed towards the hotel under Xiao Zhu's guidance.
"Feifei, who is that woman? She's acting so strangely," her colleague Li Man asked Lu Feifei.
