This woman must be closely related to Ji Feng.
Yao Qianyu glared at the two of them, embarrassed and angry. After a moment of contemplation, she decided to find Ji Fenghe to confirm.
Finally, Su He returned. She watched as Ji Fenghe and the two of them said a brief goodbye before leaving. So she immediately followed him.
Just as Ji Feng was about to open the car door, Yao Qianyu immediately placed her hand on the door, her eyes filled with questioning and suspicion.
The moment Ji Feng saw her, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by indifference.
“Every time you see me, you have this expression.” Yao Qianyu expressed her unease, her voice filled with resentment.
Ji Feng said expressionlessly, "Should I greet you with a smile?"
"Have you fallen for the woman who was just sitting in the wheelchair?" Yao Qianyu asked immediately, as if the wife had discovered a third party.
This tone made Ji Fenghe very uncomfortable, and he retorted angrily, "What's it to you?"
"Not denying it means admitting it."
Yao Qianyu became increasingly convinced that there was a secret between Ji Feng and Song Mai.
"What's so great about this woman? Does she come from a better family than me?" Yao Qianyu unconsciously raised her voice.
Noticing that everyone was looking at her, she immediately softened her tone.
This is a parking lot, with people coming and going; you might even meet someone who recognizes you.
"I've already said it, this has nothing to do with you. I hope you'll take care of yourself. This is the last time I'll say this to you." After saying that, Ji Fenghe pushed Yao Qianyu aside and opened the car door.
Watching the car drive away, Yao Qianyu gritted her teeth and whispered, "Ji Fenghe, you really went too far."
"Miss Yao?" A man's voice came from behind. He subconsciously looked at the departing car and cautiously asked, "Do you need any help?"
This person had previously cooperated with the Yao family. Although she needed their help, seeing her in such a disheveled state was still unacceptable to Yao Qianyu.
She said coldly, "No need."
Being seen by others would be a huge loss of face, and Yao Qianyu couldn't accept it.
She blamed everything on Song Mai, and stormed off in her high heels, fuming with embarrassment.
When Song Mai returned home that evening, she found that Chu Xing had not come home.
There were no messages on her phone, which inevitably made Song Mai worried.
Chu Xing never disappears without a reason; he always informs himself immediately, no matter what happens.
Song Mai barely slept all night, sitting on the sofa waiting for Chu Xing to return.
She vaguely heard the door open, and then she groggily opened her eyes. It was already bright outside.
Song Mai frowned and said in a low voice, "Why are you back so late?"
It was no longer just late; Chu Xing hadn't returned all night.
He paused slightly in his work and said in a low voice, "I'm too busy with company matters."
Song Mai nodded. It's true that you need to work harder in the early stages of starting a business, and overtime is a common occurrence. Feeling sorry for him, Song Mai slowly approached him.
As soon as I got close, I smelled an unfamiliar women's perfume.
She frowned subconsciously; other women had approached Chu Xing.
Realizing this, Song Mai instinctively felt a sense of rejection.
"What's wrong?" Chu Xing hadn't yet noticed anything unusual about himself, but seeing her strange expression, he asked curiously.
"It's okay, are you hungry?" Song Mai turned around and prepared to go into the kitchen to cook noodles.
Exhausted from a night's sleep, Chu Xing finally had a brief moment to catch his breath after sitting on the sofa.
On his phone were messages of gratitude from Liu Jia'er. Last night, she was drowning her sorrows at a bar. After receiving Qin Jizhi's message, Chu Xing rushed over and found Liu Jia'er being harassed by other men.
If it weren't for Uncle Liu's sake, Chu Xing would never have meddled in other people's business.
When they took Liu Jiaer home and were about to leave, she started acting crazy while drunk and even began to vomit.
It wasn't until dawn that it all ended.
When he got home and saw Song Mai waiting for him on the sofa for a long time, he couldn't help but feel guilty.
Actually, he could have let Assistant Lu handle it, but when he received Liu Jia'er's call yesterday and heard her mention Uncle Liu, Chu Xing couldn't help but soften his heart.
Uncle Liu had done a great favor for Grandpa Chu, but he lost his life trying to save him, leaving Liu Jia'er and her mother to depend on each other for survival.
Over the years, the Chu family has naturally helped whenever they could.
However, he couldn't let Liu Jia'er continue to cause trouble, and he also had to take responsibility for Song Mai.
It's just a marriage of convenience; there's no need to take it too seriously.
Without warning, Chu Xing heard what Song Mai was thinking.
His heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously glanced at Song Mai, who was venting her anger on the tableware in the kitchen, his brows furrowing.
Why did Song Mai bring up this matter again? After spending so much time together, Chu Xing subconsciously assumed that the two had started dating.
He was in a terrible mood. Could it be that in Song Mai's mind, their time together had always been just a marriage of convenience?
When Song Mai brought the noodles to Chu Xing, Chu Xing's face was gloomy and ashen, and he looked very displeased.
"Eat quickly, while it's hot," Song Mai kindly urged.
Chu Xing did not respond, and simply said "I'm not hungry" before turning and leaving.
This reaction made Song Mai immediately realize that Chu Xing had already made up his mind. It seemed that her guess was correct. In Chu Xing's mind, everything they did together was just part of a marriage of convenience.
Inside the company, both Assistant Liu and Shen Que noticed that their boss was in a bad mood. They exchanged glances and didn't dare to breathe.
Su He also noticed that Song Mai was in a bad mood and even lost focus during the meeting, not responding to Ji Feng's questions.
"Song Mai?" Ji Feng tapped the table to remind him.
Song Mai then came to her senses and said apologetically, "Sorry, where were we?"
“I think your idea is good, and it might work.” Ji Feng glanced at Song Mai with a warning look. “Be serious during the meeting and don’t be careless. This project is very important, and we can’t afford any mistakes.”
Song Mai quickly agreed and focused intently on the meeting.
After the meeting, Ji Fenghe went straight to Song Mai and said in a low voice, "I have something to tell you. Come to my office."
Su He looked at her with concern and said in a low voice, "Don't anger Manager Ji, or all your efforts over the past few days will be in vain."
"I know."
"What's wrong with you today? I never see you so distracted on ordinary days," Su He said with concern, looking at her heavy dark circles.
