Chapter 12 No Need
This woman actually dared to turn the tables on him!
Jiang Yanbai looked at her, and the nameless anger in his heart burned even more fiercely, but he also knew that what she said was the truth.
A flash of determination flashed across his eyes. Business came first, so he walked out.
"Qingqing, stop making trouble. Let's go to Mr. Wang first."
His voice was still cold, but it sounded a bit more perfunctory than when he spoke to Gu Miaomiao just now.
Lin Qing looked at Jiang Yanbai's resolute back as he left, then looked at Gu Miaomiao's calm and composed appearance, and stomped her feet in anger.
Why! Why did that bitch Gu Miaomiao get the upper hand again?
She was unwilling to be left behind, so she quickly lifted up her trailing skirt and hurriedly chased after him.
In a corner of the banquet hall, elegantly dressed people were toasting each other.
Wang Jingchi was surrounded by several people in the industry, with a polite smile on his face.
When Lin Qing caught up, he stopped.
She saw that Gu Miaomiao had already walked to Wang Jingchi's side.
She casually picked up a glass of champagne from the waiter's tray.
The few people who had been gathered around Wang Jingchi and chatting animatedly fell silent at the same time when they saw Gu Miaomiao appear.
They glanced at Gu Miaomiao, then at Jiang Yanbai who was not far behind her.
Then, very tactfully, they automatically dispersed a little and made a perfect position for Gu Miaomiao.
It was as if she was born to stand there.
Lin Qing, wearing high heels, squeezed into the crowd.
She smiled before Gu Miaomiao, her voice clear and crisp.
"Mr. Wang, it's an honor to meet you. I've been in charge of this project. If there's anything that needs improvement, please feel free to tell me directly."
Lin Qing raised his chin slightly and stared at Gu Miaomiao out of the corner of his eyes.
The opportunity has finally come, and she will not let this woman steal the limelight again.
Wang Jingchi stroked the wall of the cup with his fingers, his eyes wandering between Lin Qing and Jiang Yanbai. He looked at Jiang Yanbai with a smile on his lips.
"Boss Jiang really values this cooperation, and he immediately arranged for two beauties to take over?"
Everyone around fell silent, leaving only the clinking of glasses.
Everyone's eyes were focused on watching the fun.
Jiang Yanbai raised his glass and clinked it with Wang Jingchi's. His movements were clean and neat, without any unnecessary emotions.
"This is Lin Qing. She's new here, but she's quite capable, so we gave her the important project to work with you."
As soon as he finished speaking, his brows were cold and he didn't even look at Gu Miaomiao beside him.
Wang Jingchi raised his eyebrows and played with his wine glass. His tone was calm and indifferent.
"It doesn't matter if they're new or not, as long as they can get the job done. I only care about the results, not the social skills."
Lin Qing seized the opportunity and immediately struck back, her voice soft.
"Please rest assured, Mr. Wang, I will follow up on this Angel Wings project from beginning to end. It will surely shine in the industry!"
Her heart beat faster and she felt the whole audience's attention was on her.
This time it was finally her turn to stand in the center of the stage, and she no longer had to look up at anyone's back.
Wang Jingchi gently swirled the wine, which shone with a cool luster under the light. He raised his eyes and scanned the crowd.
"Then I'll wait and see. I hope you won't let me down."
The atmosphere was briefly stagnant, but quickly returned to its lively state. A few people came over to greet and flatter her, but no one paid any attention to Gu Miaomiao.
Gu Miaomiao picked up the wine glass, drank the last bit of champagne, and then placed the empty glass back on the tray.
Without any lingering feelings, she strode away, her skirt sliding across the carpet. She turned and walked towards the door, as leisurely as if she were taking a stroll in her own garden.
The lights in the banquet hall illuminated her slender figure, blocking out the whispers.
Lin Qing stared wide-eyed as he watched the woman disappear into the crowd. He secretly hated her, but he could only force a smile and continue socializing, not daring to reveal even a hint of vulnerability.
The night was dark, and a stubborn face was reflected on the car window.
When I returned to Jiang's house, the hall was as silent as water. Everything was familiar yet strange.
The light in the bedroom was cold. She took off her black dress and changed into pajamas. Before she could catch her breath, she heard hurried footsteps outside the door.
The next second, bang!
The door was violently kicked open, and a smell of liquor and tobacco hit me in the face.
Jiang Yanbai appeared against the dim light of the corridor. His suit buttons were unbuttoned and slightly messy, and his eyes were bloodshot and fierce.
He strode closer, each step carrying a sense of oppression.
Gu Miaomiao frowned, took a few steps back, and put her hands to block his chest.
"You stink, stay away!"
He paused for a moment, his dark eyes narrowing dangerously.
"Smelly?"
The air suddenly cooled, and the distance between the two men was only a fist away.
Before Gu Miaomiao could react, the man had pinched her chin with rough force and no mercy.
Their lips were instantly blocked, and it was an aggressive deep kiss, even more crazy than the one at the party just now.
Struggling was futile. He rolled his tongue between his teeth, crushing the humiliation and swallowing it.
After a long time, he loosened his fingers and looked down at the girl who was panting beside the bed.
"He suddenly left without a word. What kind of place do you think that is?"
"When Wang Jingchi asked about you tonight, he couldn't find you. If it weren't for the Lin Qing faction trying to smooth things over, the cooperation would have collapsed long ago. Are you happy about this?"
He leaned in closer, his head lowered, and each word was like an icicle piercing into the bone marrow.
"You've been pampered since childhood. Do you think the whole world will obey you?"
His voice was hoarse and angry, and there was a hint of hurt and unwillingness.
Gu Miaomiao licked the blood from the corner of her lips and shook off his arm.
"What the partners want is a plan, not a chat. I'll just be a hindrance if I stay. I can't really embarrass your little pet, can I?"
Every word was tit-for-tat, and the room fell into a brief stalemate. The only sound during the confrontation was the heavy breathing of each other.
The anger was wrapped in the night and pulled into an irreversible scar.
At this moment, none of them was willing to bow their heads first.
Even if we are covered in bruises, we must fight to see who holds the cards.
Even if I know that the ending is bound to be a breakup, I will never be the first to give in.
Gu Miaomiao wiped her thin lips fiercely with the back of her hand, which seemed to still retain the warmth of his invasion.
There was an uncontrollable coldness in her eyes as she said disdainfully.
"Besides, based on what you said, you really should thank her. You asked me why I left? When you praised Lin Qing so exaggeratedly in front of Mr. Wang, why didn't you think that I would leave suddenly?"
"Don't think Mr. Wang is that easy to fool. He only cares about the results, not the process, and certainly not who is fawning over him."
She remembered this humiliation.
Lin Qing's success as a villain and Jiang Yanbai's instigation were like needles piercing her heart.
Jiang Yan's eyes darkened, and he felt a tightness in his chest due to the sarcasm in her words. He said impatiently.
"Why are you so angry again? Are you blaming me for not introducing you to Mr. Wang?"
How dare she speak to him in such a tone? Did she still think that she was the superior eldest daughter of the Gu family and could accuse him at will?
When Gu Miaomiao heard this, a cold arc appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she laughed in anger.
She pushed away his arms that were restraining her, walked straight to the bed and sat down.
There was a sense of decisive detachment in his movements.
"You think too much. I, Gu Miaomiao, never need to rely on anyone to introduce me."
