"Just got married not long ago," Jiang Shiyu picked up her water glass and took a sip.
"What does he look like?"
"Very... handsome."
Fang Yuan held Jiang Shiyu's hand, "I'm so curious about what you're saying, I want to see what your husband looks like!"
"There will be a chance," Jiang Shiyu thought about introducing Murong Cheng to Fang Yuan another day, as Fang Yuan always got off work earlier than her.
"I heard he flew to Hong Kong for a meeting today. I haven't seen him since he joined the company. I really hope one day I can stand by his side and become his wife..."
"You will!" Jiang Shiyu patted Fang Yuan's hand, unable to help but sigh inwardly. Women who bravely pursue love are truly admirable. At least Fang Yuan still has the right to pursue love.
When it was time to leave work, Jiang Shiyu waited for a few minutes, but Murong Cheng hadn't arrived. Just as she was about to pick up her phone to call him, she saw a familiar figure.
"Why are you here?" Murong Xue frowned. She had come to pick up Su Jiamu for dinner at the Murong family's house, and she didn't expect to see Jiang Shiyu here. Wearing high heels, she stopped in front of Jiang Shiyu in a flash.
Looking at Murong Xue's face, Jiang Shiyu felt a surge of anger in her heart and didn't want to get entangled with Murong Xue. "Your goal has been achieved, what else do you want?"
"That's what I should be asking you. You started working at Lingsheng? Jiamu is also at Lingsheng, what are your intentions?!"
Although she didn't catch Jiang Shiyu red-handed that day, she had managed to photoshop some pictures and show them to Jiamu. Su Jiamu believed them and broke off his engagement with Jiang Shiyu.
She just didn't expect Jiang Shiyu to be so persistent and come to Lingsheng to pester Su Jiamu!
No wonder Su Jiamu had been distracted these past few days. It turned out to be because of this little slut, Jiang Shiyu!
The thought of Jiang Shiyu secretly hooking up with Su Jiamu made Murong Xue grit her teeth. "Jiang Shiyu, you want to rekindle your old flame with Su Jiamu?! I'm telling you, don't even think about it! What I can give Jiamu, you can't. If you don't want to ruin Jiamu, don't want to ruin the Murong family, then stay away from him!"
Jiang Shiyu had also heard about the Murong family's affairs.
The Murong family's company had an economic loophole that required a large sum of money to rectify. Zhang Wanrong had called her, but she didn't answer. Later, Zhang Wanrong sent a text message, and only then did Jiang Shiyu know.
The Murong family was in debt, and only Murong Xue could help Su Jiamu with this matter.
Whether she and Murong Cheng had actually slept together or not, it didn't matter anymore. Whether it was true or not, it was as good as true.
"I have no interest in hooking up with him! He's a cheating man, you keep him and enjoy him!"
Jiang Shiyu wanted to leave, but Murong Xue wouldn't let her. She blocked Jiang Shiyu's path with her pregnant belly. She was heavily pregnant, and Jiang Shiyu didn't dare to make any big moves, for fear that Murong Xue would suddenly fall to the ground, and she wouldn't be able to clear her name even if she jumped into the Yellow River.
"You say that nicely. You refused to leave Su Jiamu when I spoke to you nicely back then. You refused the toast and chose to drink the forfeit. Would you let go so obediently? You even joined Lingsheng, aren't you just trying to get close to Jiamu, you slut!"
Murong Xue became angry when she thought about how Su Jiamu had been a little cold to her these past few days. She raised her hand as if to slap Jiang Shiyu.
Jiang Shiyu firmly grabbed Murong Xue's wrist. "You can't control the father of the child in your belly, so why are you looking for me? Aren't you the pampered daughter of the Murong family, who gets whatever she wants? And you're pregnant with Su Jiamu's child. How can I compare with you?"
"You..." Murong Xue wanted to say something, but when she saw the man walking towards them from behind Jiang Shiyu, her eyes moved. She suddenly threw off Jiang Shiyu's hand and then stumbled backward. Jiang Shiyu had seen such tactics many times, but she didn't expect Murong Xue to be so ruthless, using this trick even while pregnant.
She reacted quickly and grabbed Murong Xue's hand. Murong Xue held on, but Jiang Shiyu herself hit the ground heavily. When Jiang Shiyu looked up, she instantly felt a warmth on her forehead.
"Xiaoxue!" Su Jiamu first looked at the staggering Murong Xue and rushed forward to support her. Murong Xue leaned into Su Jiamu's arms. "Are you okay? You shouldn't wear high heels when you're pregnant, you almost fell!"
"It's thanks to Shiyu that she saved me and the child in my belly." Murong Xue revealed a kind and understanding smile on her beautiful and delicate face, and looked at Jiang Shiyu, who was lying on the ground. "Jiamu, hurry and help her up!"
Before Su Jiamu could react, Jiang Shiyu stood up from the ground herself. She glanced at the two people clinging to each other and sneered, pulling the corners of her mouth. They were a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman. She felt like a clown.
"Xia Xia..." Su Jiamu finally noticed Jiang Shiyu, and there was obvious surprise in his eyes. "Why are you also at Lingsheng?"
Seeing Jiang Shiyu's work uniform, "Are you interning at Lingsheng?"
In an instant, Su Jiamu's expression became subtle and complex.
So narcissistic!
Having known him for five years, Jiang Shiyu knew what Su Jiamu was thinking without even having to guess.
Jiang Shiyu cursed her bad luck and then said with a fake smile, "What a coincidence that you also work at Lingsheng. I'm leaving now, bye!"
Jiang Shiyu turned and left after speaking. Su Jiamu wanted to chase after her, but Murong Xue was still by his side, so he ultimately didn't pursue her. He mistakenly thought that Jiang Shiyu had joined Lingsheng for him, and his mood was very complicated.
Jiang Shiyu stood blankly by the roadside, lost in thought. Murong Cheng had just finished his meeting in Hong Kong. As soon as his plane landed, he rushed back. He was about ten minutes later than usual. When Murong Cheng drove over, he saw Jiang Shiyu standing by the roadside from a distance.
He quietly stopped his car in front of Jiang Shiyu. Jiang Shiyu was lost in thought and didn't notice Murong Cheng. Murong Cheng rolled down the car window. The day's meetings left a trace of fatigue in the man's eyes, but the moment his dark eyes reflected the elegant figure, the fatigue instantly vanished.
Jiang Shiyu was lost in thought, and Murong Cheng didn't disturb her. He just waited quietly from half a car's distance, his gaze never leaving her.
After an unknown amount of time, when Jiang Shiyu came back to her senses, she suddenly saw the car parked in front of her and Murong Cheng inside. She was startled and took half a step back. "You, you, you, when did you get here?"
"Get in the car." Murong Cheng unlocked the car door.
Jiang Shiyu obediently opened the door and got into the car. As soon as she sat in the passenger seat, a wet wipe was placed on her forehead.
"Hiss—"
Jiang Shiyu frowned and gasped.
"You know to hiss now, but later it will scab over." Murong Cheng's brows were tightly furrowed, and a hint of coldness flashed across his stern and deep face. "Where did you get this injury?"
"No, I fell myself." Jiang Shiyu's gaze drifted elsewhere.
Murong Cheng glanced at the roots of Jiang Shiyu's ears, which were red as if about to bleed.
She had had this bad habit since childhood; her ear roots would turn red whenever she lied. Perhaps she didn't even realize it herself.
