Di Mingjue looked back at him.
Likely feeling guilty, Di Ruihe’s anxious gaze shifted downward, his hand clutching his phone nervously. His dazed demeanor persisted until the end of the meeting.
Di Mingjue didn’t leave, and naturally, the employees below dared not leave first. Everyone watched as Di Ruihe abruptly stood up from his chair, leaving without a word and disappearing from the conference room.
Di Mingjue glanced up at Shen Lin. Shen Lin, understanding, turned and followed him out.
Walking down the corridor, Di Ruihe kept dialing the same number.
As he entered the elevator, he had just initiated the call when the signal was interrupted again. He punched the wall, causing the elevator cabin to shake violently.
Seeing this, Di Ruihe, his anger still unquenched, dared not vent it on the elevator anymore.
The elevator reached the first floor, and Di Ruihe left the company with a troubled expression.
Shen Lin stood upstairs, looking down at Di Ruihe driving away. He picked up his phone and spoke a few instructions into it.
…
“What’s the matter that you’re in such a hurry?” Jiang Feifei asked, her eyes half-closed, the effects of last night’s alcohol not yet gone. She was wrapped in a thick coat, curled up on the passenger seat.
Di Ruihe drove directly to her current residence and looked displeased at the groggy Jiang Feifei. Seeing her eyelids slowly drooping, he raised his hand and honked the horn.
A piercing honk chased away all her drowsiness. Jiang Feifei covered her ears and looked at him in alarm, “What are you doing!”
“Awake?” Di Ruihe asked.
The noise indeed made her feel lighter and more awake.
Jiang Feifei looked up, staring intently at his face, as black as coal, “What happened now that you’ve come looking for me so early in the morning?”
More importantly, he wasn’t afraid of being photographed, with the car parked on the roadside in broad daylight.
People from the surrounding residential areas were walking by. Those curious about the sudden appearance of a high-end car slowed their pace and stopped to observe.
To avoid being clearly seen, Jiang Feifei pulled up her coat to cover the side of her face nearest the car window.
Given the current situation, she couldn't afford any news, otherwise, Jiang Corporation’s stock would plummet uncontrollably.
“Drive away from here.”
Di Ruihe also didn’t want to be photographed. He honked the horn to disperse the onlookers and then stepped on the accelerator, speeding away.
Arriving at a deserted seaside park, the car’s heater allowed Jiang Feifei to remove her thick coat, revealing the thin outer shirt underneath.
“Speak, what’s the new arrangement?”
Facing Di Ruihe, she didn’t need to be as subservient and fawning as she was to others.
“Stop the mission I assigned you earlier,” Di Ruihe said. Jiang Feifei on the side raised her eyebrows in surprise, “You’ve been following Jiang Ziyu recently, especially when she goes to the hospital. Report her whereabouts to me at all times.”
“Follow her?” Jiang Feifei said with a cold laugh, crossing her arms, “Since when did you become interested in her?”
“Do as I say, and don’t inquire about anything else,” Di Ruihe’s voice was cold. He pressed a button on the side, opening her car door.
Without another word, Di Ruihe’s intention to dismiss her was very clear.
Jiang Feifei and he had opposing energies. If not for the forced cooperation, why would she have any dealings with him? Shaking her arm, she picked up her coat and left.
Before she could leave, Di Ruihe drove away.
Sniffing the pungent smell, Jiang Feifei watched the departing car. Thinking of Jiang Ziyu, she felt energized. Tucking her hair back, she confidently entered the residential complex.
Half an hour later, a made-up Jiang Feifei appeared at the hospital entrance. Reading the information on her phone, she took off her sunglasses and arrogantly scanned her surroundings. Seeing the floor for Ear, Nose, and Throat, she walked towards the elevator.
The elevator doors opened, and Jiang Feifei saw Jiang Ziyu inside. It seemed heaven was helping her; everything was so smooth and easy.
