Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
As soon as Xia Ning got up in the morning, she received Zheng Ziming’s call.
“Asteria, did you come back to S City?”
“Yes.” As Xia Ning was afraid that he would blame her for not informing him, she said directly, “Actually, today I plan to…”
Zheng Ziming interrupted her immediately, “Asteria, was it Jin Yan who went to pick you up?”
“Yes.”
“That’s fine.” Zheng Ziming seemed to relax.
Then it was Xia Ning’s turn to be curious. “What’s the matter? What happened?”
Zheng Ziming was silent for a moment and said. “Asteria, someone has photographed you yesterday at the airport. But people did not shoot Jin Yan’s face. Anyway, you have to be more careful. Now that you’re more famous than before, there will be more people who want to photograph you.”
“Jin Yan and me?” Xia Ning found it funny. “The media is really meddlesome.”
“If they don’t write rumors, they’ll lose their job. Anyway, you have to be careful.”
Feeling a bit confused, Xia Ning asked, “Didn’t you use to hate Jin Yan?”
“Qiao Yu is worse than Jin Yan…” Zheng Ziming’s voice was weak.
Xia Ning did not hear clearly and asked, “What are you murmuring about?”
“Nothing!” Zheng Ziming did not want to say anymore and asked directly, “Will you be resting at home today?”
“No, I’m going to the company!”
“Oh, I’m already at the company. When you come, we can have lunch together.”
“Okay!” Xia Ning hung up and went on the Internet. Sure enough, there were rumors about her. But she did not read them at all. She threw her cell phone on the bed directly and went to the coatroom to change clothes.
While Qiao Yu was working in the chairman’s office on the 28th floor of Shengs.h.i.+ Group, Secretary Chen Lin knocked on the door and came in.
“Boss, Mr. Gao wants to see you.”
Qiao Yu put down the doc.u.ment, looked at Chen Lin and said slightly, “Let him in.”
“Okay.” Chen Lin shut the door and went out to tell Mr. Gao, “Mr. Gao, my boss invites you to come in!”
Gao Yang did not go in but looked at Chen Lin, “How is my brother’s mood today?”
Chen Lin gazed at Gao Yang in confusion, “What’s the matter?”
Seeing Chen Lin’s confusion, Gao Yang got confused. It seemed that his brother’s mood was okay today. But didn’t he hang up the call yesterday? In addition, didn’t he see the news this morning?
Gao Yang pushed the office’s door open directly and went in.
“Brother, you don’t know how crazy Mu Zichen was yesterday. I was really worried that he would drink to his death. I was really tired from sending him back yesterday.” Gao Yang began to complain as soon as he entered.
Qiao Yu ignored him and continued his work.
Gao Yang glanced at Qiao Yu in secret and said tentatively, “It seems that Xia Ning came back to S City yesterday.”
Still ignoring him, Qiao Yu seemed to hear him not.
“Brother, does Xia Ning have a boyfriend?”
Qiao Yu stopped signing and looked up at Gao Yang. “What do you want to say?”
“When Xia Ning came back yesterday, a man drove a luxury car to pick her up at the airport.” Gao Yang looked at Qiao Yu. “People online say that he is Xia Ning’s boyfriend.”
Qiao Yu bent his head with a faint flicker in his dark eyes and finished signing.
Seeing Qiao Yu say nothing, Gao Yang found it unfair to him. “Brother, what did Xia Ning mean? She has already had a child with you. How can she suddenly develop a relations.h.i.+p with another man?”
Qiao Yu put the file on the desk, looked at Gao Yang and said coldly, “She and I divorced. That she has a boyfriend has nothing to do with me.” Saying so, he took his clothes and went outside.
Gao Yang watched Qiao Yu’s back, “Brother, where are you going?”
“Going home!” Bang! The door closed.
“…” Gao Yang was left speechless. It seemed that he had stepped on a landmine just now.
