Jiang Lirong's expression darkened slightly, and he gave a faint "hmm" before reaching out to turn off the lit light.
Lin Zhong is such a nuisance!
It was bad enough that he let his two daughters cling to his cousin Haoyuan, but he also repeatedly tried to send women to him.
Jiang Lirong has no shortage of women, except for that one woman who truly moves his heart...
The Lin family now relies on the Ming family for a living; they have a cooperative relationship. As long as the quality of the project is good, he naturally won't find fault.
The problem is that Lin Zhongjiang's old habits die hard; he always secretly does some petty theft and has been caught red-handed three times in a row.
There's no way to continue working with someone like that.
He had made it clear to Haoyuan that regardless of whether they could secure the lucrative Lingshan area, they had to keep the Lin family far away. Even if they only managed to acquire two smaller plots, the Lin family couldn't be included.
Lin Zhong was clearly unaware of this inside information, but fearing that he would expose his secret, he repeatedly sent Lin Hui'er to pester him.
Rongcheng is a place with excellent information dissemination, and he was quite unaccustomed to it when he first arrived.
When Ning Lang finished her studies ahead of schedule and returned to China, she went straight back to her hometown, Rongcheng.
He followed her and opened a law firm with Liu Yingying, who was in the same major, hoping to take advantage of his proximity to win her heart.
To his surprise, Ning Lang was not moved by his enthusiasm at all, and treated him with the same distant and polite attitude as always.
He pursued Ning Lang, but the news quickly spread among the upper class of Rongcheng. Some onlookers, not wanting to miss out on the drama, quickly informed him that Ning Lang was already engaged to Sheng Xuan, the heir of the Sheng family.
What surprised him even more was that the two had been engaged for seven or eight years!
Yuan Heng, who is even more handsome than a big star, is very open and honest with Ning Lang, despite their close relationship, showing no signs of intimacy between a man and a woman.
Therefore, he never considered Yuan Heng as a competitor, but began to be wary of Ning Lang's legendary fiancé.
Unexpectedly, before he even had a chance to get to know Sheng Xuan, Ning Lang went to get her marriage certificate with him...
Even after Ning Lang got married and divorced, his heart went through ups and downs, sometimes sad and sometimes happy, and he still can't calm down now.
To his dismay, even after the divorce, Ning Lang continued to keep him at arm's length.
To his amusement and exasperation, Lin Huier, who had been getting along famously with Sheng Xuan for a while, quickly broke up with him and turned to embrace him.
They say life is like a play, but even the most exciting play can't be this bizarre.
He slowly straightened his suit and strode outside.
"Hello, Mr. Jiang," a soft, weak voice called out timidly.
Jiang Lirong turned his refined face away, secretly displeased.
Wasn't he supposed to be in the break room? Why are you blocking his office door?
Lin Huier wore a white velvet dress and a black coat. Her long hair was smooth and shiny, and her eyes were both anxious and pitiful.
"Mr. Jiang, my father said that he is very grateful for your care and hopes to treat you to a simple meal. He specially asked me to pick you up."
Jiang Lirong smiled gently: "Hello. I've been feeling a bit feverish lately, and I've already ordered medicinal cuisine from Yipinxiang tonight. I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint your father. Please thank Boss Lin for me."
Lin Huier was in a dilemma, nervously clutching the hem of her clothes, like a helpless and innocent little girl.
"That's a real pity. I'll tell my dad that I'll invite you to dinner another day."
Jiang Lirong nodded and walked away quickly.
Lin Huier hurriedly caught up and blocked his car, her voice filled with a soft pleading.
"Mr. Jiang, the doctor said I have excessive internal heat lately. Could you let me take medicinal meals with you? I usually can't go out unnecessarily, so please let me do this just this once?"
Having said all that, Jiang Lirong couldn't very well refuse.
Along the way, Lin Huier, with red eyes, recounted many stories of how she and her mother depended on each other when they were young, and talked about the many hardships and difficulties of life. In the end, she even shed tears.
Jiang Lirong was quite helpless, but out of consideration for his image, he could only offer a few gentle words of comfort.
"Fortunately, the hard times are over and the happiness is coming."
Lin Huier chuckled shyly, "Thank you...you're so kind."
Jiang Lirong was focused on driving and seemed not to hear.
Soon, "Yipinxiang" arrived.
As soon as Jiang Lirong parked his car, he saw Ning Lang's new SUV drive up and park on the other side.
He pushed open the car door with a look of surprise—only to see the tall and slender Sheng Xuan getting out of the driver's seat!
