[Chapter 221 I Want to Meet My Future Sister-in-Law]
Huo Jingze opened the gift box and saw a watch inside, which was very valuable.
"I don't need a watch, you don't have to give it to me, just take it back."
Jiang Yirou smiled and said, "There's no reason to take back a gift you've given away. Besides, you've given me so many gifts before, so it's only right that I give you something in return."
Huo Jingze frowned slightly, "No need."
"Brother Jingze, has our relationship become so distant that you don't even want to accept my gift?" Jiang Yirou was a little sad.
Huo Jingze shook his head, "I have a girlfriend now, it's not appropriate to accept gifts from the opposite sex."
Jiang Yirou's heart seemed to be pierced by a sharp thorn, and her eyes revealed unspeakable sadness.
When he was with her, Huo Jingze also kept a distance from all opposite sexes like he does now, giving her enough sense of security.
He is different from other men. He always maintains a polite and distant attitude towards women with whom he has no close relationship. He will not flirt with them or engage in ambiguous relationships.
Now, she has also become a member of the opposite sex with whom he has no close relationship.
"Do you have anything else to do? If not, I have to continue working." Huo Jingze looked at her calmly and politely asked her to leave.
Jiang Yirou felt even sadder, and now he didn't even want to spend more time with her.
But she didn't want to leave.
"I heard from my eldest brother that you and your fiancée have a very good relationship. I'm a little curious about what kind of person she is. She can warm up an iceberg like you and even be willing to enter the palace of marriage for her." Jiang Yirou took the initiative to find a topic and spoke with a faint smile.
Huo Jingze refused without even thinking, "No need, she is quite socially anxious and doesn't like meeting strangers, so don't go to her casually."
The smile on Jiang Yirou's face froze, and a hurt look appeared in her eyes, "Brother Jingze, you are not afraid that your girlfriend will know about our relationship."
"There is no relationship between us. Even if there was, it was only in the past. Now we are just friends at most." Huo Jingze expressed it very bluntly and hurtfully.
Jiang Yirou's heart seemed to be pulled hard by someone, and she smiled bitterly, "You are right, we are just ordinary friends now, don't worry, I have let it go a long time ago, otherwise I would not have insisted on getting engaged to Gu Chen. I returned to China this time for myself, not because of you, and I will not affect the relationship between you and your girlfriend."
"Yirou, I have always treated you as my younger sister since childhood. Your position in my heart is the same as Huo Nian's." Huo Jingze's indifferent expression softened slightly, and he said in a brother's tone, "If you have any difficulties in the future, just tell me."
"I understand." Jiang Yirou forced a smile, "But I still want to meet my future sister-in-law."
Huo Jingze frowned, obviously still unwilling.
Jiang Yirou looked aggrieved, "Brother Jingze, am I a bad person in your heart? I really want to know what kind of woman you like is like, and why you care so much about her."
Her words made Huo Jingze feel a little guilty. Being with Jiang Yirou was an accident. He only felt responsibility towards Jiang Yirou but no love between men and women. He never gave Jiang Yirou a normal interaction as a couple.
After all, he was the one who felt sorry for Jiang Yirou.
Huo Jingze softened his attitude and said, "She hasn't been in good health recently. Wait for a while, and I will arrange a meeting for you personally."
Jiang Yirou finally smiled and nodded, "Okay, then I'll wait for your arrangements."
"Well, it's getting late, you should go back first."
After Jiang Yirou left, He Kai walked in and handed the document in his hand to Huo Jingze, "Mr. Huo, this is the project that we are about to cooperate with Jiang's, please take a look."
Huo Jingze took the document, put on his gold-rimmed glasses, and looked through it carefully.
He Kai glanced at the remaining coffee on the coffee table and couldn't help but said, "I heard that Miss Jiang has returned to China this time and has focused on her career. She has become the general manager of Jiang Group. Our project this time is to connect with her. Are you sure you really want to cooperate?"
Huo Jingze looked up from the file with a puzzled look, "What's the problem?"
He Kai hesitated for two seconds and whispered, "Ms. Jiang is your first love after all. If you cooperate on this project, you will definitely have frequent contact with Miss Jiang. I'm afraid Miss Lin will be unhappy if she knows."
Huo Jingze put down the document, stared at He Kai with his dark eyes, and narrowed his eyes slightly, "When did you care about Lin Yin so much?"
“……”Of course it’s because of participating in the gambling! Of course I hope Lin Yin can win.
But I dare not say this out loud.
He Kai immediately explained: "After all, you and Miss Lin just reconciled, and now there is another ex. I am not worried that your love life is not going well, I am just concerned about you!"
"I will explain the past with Jiang Yirou to Lin Yin. She is not a stingy person and knows what she is doing." Huo Jingze retracted his gaze and returned his eyes to the document. "This project is very important to Yunshen. If it succeeds, Yunshen Group will move to a higher level."
Do your job when you are in your position.
He is Lin Yin's boyfriend and also the executive president of Yunshen Group. Every move he makes in business affects the jobs of thousands of people under him. It is impossible for him to give up just because his partner is his ex-girlfriend.
"This plan is not good. Send it back for redo." Huo Jingze threw the document on the coffee table, frowning slightly, slightly unhappy. "Give orders, everyone must pay 120,000 points for this project. There can't be any mistakes. Every detail must be perfect."
He Kai's expression became serious, and he picked up the plan on the coffee table, "Yes, I'll do it right away."
…
"I'm sorry, baby. I need to work overtime for an hour today, so I can't go back to make dinner for you. I ordered a meal for you and specifically told you to eat light food with less oil and salt. Just be good and eat on time, okay?"
Huo Jingze's low and gentle voice came from the phone.
Lin Yin leaned against the sofa, holding Tang Yuan in her arms, and said softly, "You should also eat on time. Don't forget to eat dinner when you are busy with work."
"Okay, I'll go eat now and take pictures for you later."
"Well, go eat now, bye."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yin continued reading.
An hour and a half later, there was a knock on the door.
She thought the food that Huo Jingze ordered had arrived, so she put down the dumplings and got up to open the door.
The moment she opened the door, Lin Yin was stunned, a little surprised, "Mom... why are you here?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Aihua raised his hand high.
Snap——
Before Lin Yin could react, she was slapped hard in the face. The farmer's slap was so strong that her face was twisted to the side. Her cheek felt burning and soon became swollen.
"Mom..." Lin Yin was stunned, covering her face with her hands, eyes full of disbelief, "Why did you hit me?"
Chen Aihua glared at her fiercely, her face full of anger, "What did I tell you last time I called you? I asked you to forgive Qing'er, but you put her in a mental hospital. Is that a place for people? You are too cruel!
