Chapter 16: Still brooding, or lingering feelings
The elevator went directly to the floor where the president's office was located.
Jiang Yao from the CEO's office saw her coming and quickly stood up, "Ms. Cheng!"
Cheng Wanwan asked with a smile, "Assistant Jiang, is Xiyan in the office?"
"Mr. Lu is in Vice President Liang's office discussing business."
Jiang Yao didn't dare neglect her, let alone offend his ancestors. He pushed his glasses down and asked, "Are you going to see Mr. Lu? Or should you give him a call?"
"No." Cheng Wanwan continued to smile. Xiyan didn't like someone interrupting him when he was working, and she didn't want to do anything that would disgust Xiyan.
"I'll go to his office and wait for him. Assistant Jiang is busy now."
Cheng Wanwan walked into Lu Xiyan's office with ease. Jiang Yao brought in some coffee and then left.
After a while, the phone on the office desk suddenly rang.
Cheng Wanwan walked straight over and picked up the phone.
When the call was connected, the other party said straight to the point, "Mr. Lu, you asked me to investigate the information of that person named An Ning, and I have found it."
Cheng Wanwan's hand holding the phone suddenly tightened, and the polite smile on her face froze in an instant.
peaceful!
Xiyan is looking for someone to check on An Ning!
Is he still brooding over her absence these years, or is he still in love with her?
......
"If you ask me, you're just asking for trouble."
In the vice president's office, Liang Xulian drank two cups of tea and said unhappily, "This kind of project discussion is not worth attending for a big CEO like you. You went because you heard that An Ning was coming, right?"
Lu Xiyan sat on the sofa without saying a word and lit a cigarette.
Liang Xu seemed to read his thoughts and continued, "You clearly know where she got that pen, yet you still insist on asking if she stole it. When she said it was a gift from her ex-husband, you get upset again."
Liang Xu sat down on the sofa and looked at him. "If you really still can't get over what happened four years ago, talk to her and make things clear while she's back."
Lu Xiyan turned and glared at him, "What do you want to clarify?"
"Why did she dump you? Why did she divorce you?" Liang Xu asked, "Don't you want to know clearly?"
Lu Xiyan took a deep breath of smoke, and the deep light in his phoenix eyes was unclear under the green smoke.
reason?
She had made it clear the day she left that she had turned him into a laughing stock to all of Jinghai.
What else is there to ask?
Just then, the phone on the table rang.
Lu Xiyan took a look, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window with his phone and pressed the answer button.
"Mr. Lu?"
"Um."
The other party hurriedly said, "I found out part of the information you asked me to check."
Lu Xiyan frowned and his voice turned cold, "What do you mean by part?"
The other party first reported the more accurate information, "The woman named An Ning returned to Jinghai a week ago with a three-year-old child."
Lu Xiyan's face darkened, the ashes on his fingertips fell off, and he unconsciously clenched his phone.
Does she really have a child?
Three years old?
His eyebrows twitched almost imperceptibly and his eyes turned.
The other party added, "Before returning to Jinghai, she stayed in Jining City for a while, but there's no trace of her before that."
"How long?"
"Three months."
Lu Xiyan's chest was heaving. Just as he was about to ask the child, he heard the other party say, "She is very close to a man in Jining and they often go out together."
The other party paused, thinking of what Miss Cheng had just said about An Ning being married to that man and having a child. He didn't dare to conclude and said euphemistically, "Maybe that's the child's father."
Lu Xiyan's blood ran cold.
"That man also came to Jinghai?"
"No." The other party said, "It's just them, mother and son."
The cigarette at my fingertips burned all the way to my head, and I didn't even realize it was burning.
Lu Xiyan's eyes were filled with anger and he cut off the call angrily.
So, she is remarried and divorced?
Or maybe, she got pregnant with another man before marriage?
After becoming a single mother, she returned to Jinghai?
No matter which guess it was, it was enough to make Lu Xiyan clench his fists even tighter.
......
"peaceful!"
At the gate of Oteng Group, An Ning was grabbed by Li Hui with red eyes, "You made me embarrassed in front of so many people, are you happy?"
"An Ning, you're obviously so qualified, you could find a better job! Why aren't you willing to give this opportunity to me? I'm just a recent graduate, I need this job opportunity more than you do!"
It was clearly she who switched the project book first, but now she was pestering An Ning in a rage.
He justifies his actions so confidently.
An Ning's eyes were cold. "Li Hui, I'm going to tell you what you said just now—you can find another job if you lose it. But can you live with a clear conscience after doing something like this that slanders others?"
Li Hui's face turned red and white, and after a few seconds she managed to say, "An Ning, I thought you were a good person and wouldn't compete with me for this job."
"No." An Ning chuckled softly, her eyes calm. "Rather, you thought I was a coward who wouldn't have the courage to expose you in public. Or, you thought I was unlucky enough to be framed by you and unable to prove my innocence."
Sadly, she was wrong.
Her words made Li Hui stand there in shock, her face looking grim.
After saying this, An Ning turned and left.
Li Hui's voice rang out again behind her, tinged with resentful sarcasm, "Why are you so arrogant? Your ex-husband gave you such an expensive pen, but he still divorced you!"
She thought her words could soothe An Ning's heart.
An Ning pretended not to hear it. This was probably the most offensive and hurtful words Li Hui could think of.
But she didn't care.
She walked to the bus stop to wait for the bus, raised her hands to shield her eyes and glanced at the glaring sun.
It's already noon, and I still have to go to the hospital to bring food to Li Chunfang.
Li Chunfang is frugal and refuses to order her own meals in the hospital, as she thinks the food there is expensive, unpalatable and small in portion.
She would only eat some if An Ning bought it from outside.
She was not picky about food and told An Ning to just buy two steamed buns and a cold dish.
But An Ning always brought her meat dishes and soup.
Just as I was about to find a shady place to wait for the bus, I suddenly received a message on my phone.
It was the information from Haowei Group notifying her of her joining the company.
An Ning stared at the text message for a few seconds and replied to refuse the job.
In less than two minutes, Sun Liangying called her and asked her why in surprise.
"No reason." An Ning held her phone, looking at the endless stream of cars ahead, and said indifferently, "Manager Sun, it feels really bad to be framed."
She has experienced this too many times in the past few years.
But at that time, there was always a man standing by her and believing in her unconditionally.
But now, even he pushed her into the vortex of being framed.
As soon as I hung up the phone, it rang again.
Li Chunfang's anxious voice came from inside.
"An Ning! The hospital said there are no beds available for me. A new patient has taken my bed, and the nurse wants me to stay in the corridor!"
