Chapter 71 Birthday Gift from My Wife
Jiang Xu retched a few times in the bathroom, but didn't vomit anything.
After calming down and opening the door, He Yanting was nowhere to be seen.
She came to the study and found him holding a piece of paper.
“Are these all foreign universities?”
He looked at Jiang Xu suspiciously.
That was the list of her favorite universities she had written down before, but she forgot to put it away. Unexpectedly, he noticed it.
Jiang Xu remained calm: "Just taking a look."
This was obviously unconvincing. He Yanting was about to say something when Jiang Xu interrupted him: "I have something for you."
She opened the drawer, took out a small square box made of brown paper, and handed it to He Yanting.
"Here, the birthday present I promised you."
He Yanting was stunned at first, then his eyes lit up and he took the box and opened it in surprise.
Jiang Xu stared at the bracelet and said, "This is small-leaf red sandalwood. I heard it's very suitable for boys."
He Yanting looked around and said, "Help me put it on."
In order to distract him, Jiang Xu obediently put the bracelet on him, and the size was just right.
"Why did you buy the bracelet? Are you trying to trap me?"
He Yanting's face was filled with unconcealable joy.
Jiang Xu thought: Because the bracelet is cheap.
She wouldn't be so stupid as to buy him a birthday gift worth hundreds of thousands of dollars like she did before. He didn't deserve it.
"I should go to bed."
She turned off the light in the study and returned to the bedroom.
Not long after lying down, He Yanting came in. I heard him take off the bracelet and put it on the bedside, then go to the bathroom to take a shower.
Jiang Xu soon felt sleepy, and in a daze, He Yanting lay down beside her.
In the darkness, I could faintly hear his breathing. After a few seconds of silence, his voice came: "Ruanruan, let's be together from now on, okay?"
There was no response.
He Yanting turned over to Jiang Xu, thinking she was asleep, and kissed her gently on the cheek.
After a while, He Yanting's breathing gradually became even.
Jiang Xu slowly opened his eyes.
As long as He Yanting doesn't get the shares, he will never let her go, nor will he let the child go.
She must find an opportunity to talk to Mrs. He about this as soon as possible.
As long as the issue of shares is resolved, He Yanting will stop pestering him, and maybe there will still be time to get rid of the child.
The next day, the two went to the company together as usual.
In the car, Jiang Xu noticed that He Yanting was wearing the bracelet she gave him.
She turned her eyes away indifferently and no longer paid attention.
At noon, she and Chen Jiaojiao went to the cafeteria to eat together. The cafeteria of Shengyu Group was the most luxurious among all the companies in Beijing, and the dishes were safe and rich.
Chen Jiaojiao scrolled through her phone and said, "Jiang Xu, did you know? You're on the news."
Jiang Xu was stunned for a moment. Chen Jiaojiao showed her the phone. Jiang Xu found that it was the news about the city leaders' inspection yesterday. The headline picture on the front page was actually a picture of three people.
In the photo, her and He Yanting's presence is stronger than Mayor Shang's.
At that time, He Yanting held her arm tightly and the two were almost touching each other, but due to the angle, He Yanting's action of grabbing her was not captured.
Jiang Xu said, "Which reporter chose this photo? He's probably going to be unemployed soon."
Chen Jiaojiao laughed out loud: "It's really outrageous. To be honest, at first glance, this photo shows you and Mr. He looking like a couple. You know what, you're quite a match."
As she was speaking, she said "Huh" and muttered, "What are they talking about?"
She put down her chopsticks and suddenly her expression became serious: "Jiang Xu, look at the group I added you to yesterday. Who are all the people there? They just keep talking nonsense."
When Jiang Xu opened the group chat, she saw people scolding her.
I flipped through the pages and saw that the person leading the group was Vivian from the public relations department.
[Mr. He has a girlfriend, but Jiang Xu insists on sticking with him]
[That’s right, looking at the photos I thought she and Mr. He were a couple]
[She did it on purpose. She looks calm and composed, but turns out to be a scheming bitch.]
Chen Jiaojiao couldn't stand it any longer: [Hey, you have no evidence, don't be so extreme!]
Vivian immediately retorted: "You are so eager to help her, it seems that you have the same values as her and like to steal other people's men."
Chen Jiaojiao: [Don’t slander me]
Vivian: [Oh my, you're getting anxious. I guess I was right.]
Chen Jiaojiao was so angry that her face turned blue and she couldn't eat.
Jiang Xu said calmly, "Don't argue with her. It's useless except getting angry."
Chen Jiaojiao said angrily, "Are we just going to let them make up whatever they want?"
Jiang Xu picked up his phone and quickly typed a message to the group chat: [I'll give you two choices. First, apologize to me in the group chat now. Second, I'll go to the PR department and ask you to apologize to me in person.]
Weiwei sent a voice message, mockingly saying, "Oh, I'm so scared. What's the matter? You dare not take responsibility for it?"
Jiang Xu replied: [Okay, see you in the PR department]
The group suddenly became extremely quiet, and everyone was lurking to watch the game.
Chen Jiaojiao was shocked: "Are you really going to the PR department? Jiang Xueruo is Mr. He's girlfriend, we can't take advantage of her."
Jiang Xu raised his eyelids and said calmly, "She is not."
Chen Jiaojiao's eyes widened. "Impossible? How did you know?"
Jiang Xu was silent for a moment, then stood up and said, "I'll make a phone call."
When she reached a deserted place, she dialed the phone, and soon a man's magnetic voice came from the other end: "Hello?"
Jiang Xu asked: "Are you busy now?"
He Yanting's tone was cheerful: "I'm not busy. The meeting just ended and I'm having dinner. Are you full? Do you want me to save some for you?"
Jiang Xu said, "No, I'm asking you, did you choose the photo in today's news?"
He Yanting: "What photo?"
Jiang Xu snorted coldly: "Don't ask questions when you already know the answer."
He Yanting coughed dryly: "Okay, I chose it. I took a pretty good picture of you. Are you dissatisfied?"
"This photo has caused me trouble. You are responsible."
Jiang Xu didn't intend to beat around the bush with him.
He Yanting was amused when he heard this: "Ruanruan, what are you talking about? I have always been responsible for you."
Jiang Xu ignored his frivolous hint and said, "Come to the PR department."
He Yanting was about to ask what the public relations department was doing when the phone was disconnected and he stood up and walked out.
Gao Cheng followed him and asked, "Mr. He, where are you going?"
"Public Relations Department."
This answer confused Gao Cheng. The Public Relations Department was not an important department, and President He had never been there in person. Why was he rushing over there in the middle of the day when he hadn't even finished his lunch?
Suddenly, an idea came to his mind.
Could it be that he was going to see Jiang Xueruo?
The more I think about it, the more likely it becomes.
After entering the elevator, Gao Cheng pressed the button, and He Yanting raised his wrist to check the time, inadvertently revealing the bracelet on his wrist.
Gao Cheng was surprised and asked, "When did you start liking to wear bracelets?"
In his memory, He Yanting has always been a business elite. Apart from a watch, he never wears any messy decorations on his wrist.
He Yanting touched the bracelet and raised the corner of his mouth: "I have to wear it, it's a birthday gift from my wife."
These words made Gao Cheng's brain pause for a moment.
Wife?
Isn't that Jiang Xu? Why do you deliberately use the word wife?
And was he overthinking it?
Why does Mr. He sound so boastful and cocky in his words?
Also, he noticed in the morning that Mr. He’s lips were more severely scratched than yesterday. Could he have been bitten again?
Is this some kind of fun?
