Chapter 243 These are what she wants
It turned out to be a call from the research institute.
"I see." After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yao turned to look at Lu Xuan and said politely, "My project team received a notice that they encountered some problems and need me to go back and work overtime. Could you please take me there?"
Lu Xuan felt bitter, but he could only nod and send her back to the research institute.
Before opening the car door and getting out, Lu Xuan still looked at her reluctantly, as if he wanted to say something.
"Lu Xuan."
Jiang Yao turned around at this moment, his eyes sharp and his attitude firm.
"Since you and I have both started a new life, I hope you can let go of the past and stop provoking me. It's impossible for us to be together anymore."
After saying that, she didn't even look at the other person's reaction and walked into the research institute without looking back.
Lu Xuan was left standing there in a daze. His heart felt like it was pierced by a sharp dagger, blood was flowing out, and the pain was so severe that he could hardly breathe.
He closed his eyes deeply, and when he opened them again, he drove to the Night Bar.
He ordered several glasses of wine and drank until he was drunk.
"Yaoyao..." He leaned on the bar with a painful look on his face, his cheeks flushed, and kept calling Jiang Yao's name, hoping that she would come back to him.
At this moment, a figure walked up to him and put a hand on her back, "Mr. Lu, are you okay?"
The woman's voice was gentle and kind.
Lu Xuan slowly opened his eyes, thinking that it was Jiang Yao coming over.
But when he looked closely, he found that it was a woman with neat short hair and glasses.
He frowned immediately, his voice still a little unclear: "Assistant Song, why are you here?"
During this period of time, many women approached him by relying on their beauty, but he drove them away one by one.
Only the woman in front of me is different.
She has an ordinary appearance and is quite capable at work, so Lu Xuan kept her.
"I just came here to relax, I didn't expect you to be here too, are you okay?"
Song Mian looked at him worriedly.
Lu Xuan looked depressed and distraught.
But it was impossible for him to confide his relationship problems to his assistant.
"fine."
He tried to stand up by holding onto the bar, but he staggered.
Song Mian quickly stepped forward and held his shoulders, suggesting, "Boss Lu, let me take you home. If anything happens to you in this state, it will be a huge loss to the company, and I won't be able to explain it to my superiors."
Her tone was serious, as if she was really considering the company.
Lu Xuan rubbed his sore head and finally didn't force it. "Then I'll trouble you, Assistant Song."
"It's no trouble."
Song Mian was very nervous and helped him out of the bar and into the car.
The moment she closed the car door, a strange light flashed in her eyes.
According to that person's instructions, it seems that it won't take long for her to gain Lu Xuan's trust.
Song Mian suppressed his emotions and sent the man back to the villa. He originally wanted to help him go upstairs to his room.
But when they reached the door, Lu Xuan shook her off and said, "I can do it myself, you go back."
Song Mian's face froze slightly.
I didn't expect that he would refuse my approach at the critical moment.
However, she couldn't alert the enemy at the moment.
After saying goodbye respectfully, she turned and left.
Lu Xuan turned around and staggered up the stairs back to his room, holding on to the handrail.
Falling on the bed, his heart was filled with regret.
If he had known earlier, how could he let go of Jiang Yao's hand? But it's too late to say anything now.
Lu Xuan fell into a deep sleep.
Wake up the next day.
Lu Xuan opened his dark eyes and stared at the ceiling.
After a long time, he suddenly stood up and clenched his fists, feeling more and more unwilling the more he thought about it.
No, he had finally managed to regroup and couldn't just give up like that.
He decided to change his strategy.
He is determined to get Jiang Yao!
…
Jiang Yao, on his side, was working overtime in the research institute to deal with some issues.
Ever since she solved Chu Yue's incident last time, the people in the laboratory have had even more admiration and respect for her.
After all, in the face of such frame-ups and difficulties, she was able to remain calm and lead the team to solve the problems. Such people with ability and leadership are very rare.
So now, when people encounter difficult problems, the first person they think of is her.
It took a whole morning to solve the problem.
Jiang Yao took off his gloves and breathed a sigh of relief, then heard a burst of applause.
"Miss Jiang, you're so capable! The entire research team couldn't come up with a solution in three days, but you figured it out right away. It's truly impressive!"
Zhou Yifei's eyebrows flew up, and a joking voice sounded at the door.
Everyone in the research group blushed after hearing what he said.
Jiang Yao said calmly, "That's the result of everyone's hard work. I just provided some ideas. Without everyone's cooperation, I wouldn't be able to complete it in a week!"
Everyone was moved when they heard this.
Seeing that his attempt to sow discord had failed, Zhou Yifei was not discouraged, and the smile in his eyes deepened.
Jiang Yao was too lazy to pay attention to him. After leaving the laboratory, Zhou Yifei caught up with him and said with a smile.
"Wait a minute, Miss Jiang, I helped you so much by exposing Chu Yue's affairs. Shouldn't you thank me and treat me to a meal?"
Jiang Yao paused, turned around and sneered at him.
"Mr. Zhou, do I need to remind you about stealing my blueprints? It was you who caused me to fail, and now you're asking me to thank you. How shameless!"
Jiang Yao's expression was mocking, and he retorted rudely, "Aren't you and Chu Yue on the same side? If that's the case, then lock them up tightly and stay as far away from me as possible."
After saying that, she turned and left.
Zhou Yifei was not angry after being scolded like this. Instead, he looked at her leaving with a playful smile, "How interesting."
Jiang Yao has finished his overtime work.
As soon as I stepped out of the research institute, I received an unexpected call.
"Mr. Sui?"
"I hope I didn't disturb you." Sui Yunli's voice was slow and leisurely, with a unique accent, like the etiquette of an aristocrat.
"No, do you want to talk to me?"
"I just wanted to remind you of the important meeting next week. Don't forget it."
Jiang Yao only then remembered this when he heard this, "Okay, no problem."
…
Go home in the afternoon.
Jiang Yao happened to see a courier carrying a package at the door, "Miss Jiang, this is your package, please sign for it."
"For me?"
Jiang Yao went forward to take a look and saw that the express delivery from the "kind-hearted gourmet" was unsigned.
She was a little confused.
As soon as the courier left, when she tried to pick up the package, she found it was unexpectedly heavy.
Jiang Yao was even more confused now, and she didn't rush to take it back to the house. She simply went back to the house, took out a pair of scissors, and tore open the layers of packaging.
A faint smell of blood filled the air.
