Six hours ago...
After Fang Can left Jiang Mingxu's office, his secretary walked in again and said, "Director Jiang, Miss Fang said that she answered a call from Madam for you just now. Madam said that she has something to deal with and won't be back for dinner tonight."
"Did she say what the matter was?" Jiang Mingxu finally reacted. He raised his head from the pile of documents he was reading through in his hands and took a look at his phone. There was indeed a call record...
The secretary shook her head."Miss Fang said that Madam didn't go into detail and only said that it was a very important matter."
Jiang Mingxu frowned tightly."In the future, don't let random people in."
The secretary was a little hesitant."But she has photos of her being especially intimate with you. I thought..."
"What did you think?" Jiang Mingxu swept a glance over, and his aura was murderous.
The secretary was rendered speechless and didn't dare to say anything else. She only said, "Director Jiang, I know my mistake. I definitely won't let outsiders in casually again."
Jiang Mingxu did not continue the conversation. He felt inexplicably uneasy.
He called Song Wei again, but no one picked up.
She was always like this, acting alone and doing a lot of things. However, he knew nothing about her movements.
In the evening, Jiang Mingxu directly rejected an international video conference and brought Xie Xingen to the recording venue of the program that Song Wei had mentioned attending previously.
However, the recording had already ended. When Liu Shiying heard that someone was looking for Song Xiaocao, she was also surprised, "She left after achieving her goal. How do I know where she went?"
"Miss Liu, please think carefully again. Did Song Xiaocao say where she's going next?"
Liu Shiying shook her head without thinking."Do you think I'm close to her? She's basically my nemesis. How would I possibly care where she goes...? But speaking of which, she came to me for help to clarify the matter of PARADISES' plagiarism this time. Perhaps, after coming to me, she went to PARADISES again."
"..."
"Your madam and the president of PARADISES are really interesting, too. Commanding their own subordinates to fight back and forth like this, is it a love-hate relationship?"
"Miss Liu, you have to be careful with your words. If you say another word to slander our Madam, you will immediately receive our lawyer's letter."
However, Liu Shiying only snorted somewhat disdainfully."You're still afraid of others talking after doing it? If there's really nothing going on, why would a first-rate jewelry brand like PARADISES give a low-end brand like Sky Palace a hard time? It's probably because of love that hatred arose."
Because she didn't gain the upper hand from Song Wei, she was in a rather difficult situation from being forced into a tight spot.
Therefore, when Liu Shiying talked about this matter, to regain her dignity; her words became harsh.
Jiang Mingxu, who was waiting in the car, heard these words, too.
It wasn't convenient for him to personally make an appearance, so he got Xie Xingen to do the asking while he listened remotely on the phone in the car.
On the other end of the line, Xie Xingen hurriedly hung up the phone, seemingly afraid that Liu Shiying would say something that would anger Jiang Mingxu even more.
When Xie Xingen returned, the oppressive feeling around Jiang Mingxu was indeed terrifyingly low.
Xie Xingen said to Jiang Mingxu, "Young Master Jiang, I have called PARADISES to ask, but Madam didn't go there. However, Yan Zhixing is on a business trip today, so he is not in S City."
Jiang Mingxu's voice was so frosty that icicles were about to fall from it."Where did he go?"
"B City, not far. It's just an hour's drive. But Madam wouldn't have..."
Before Xie Xingen could finish his sentence, Jiang Mingxu ordered coldly, "To B City."
"Director Jiang... I don't think Madam would go that far. She's not that kind of person."
"..." However, Jiang Mingxu did not respond as if he had made up his mind.
Xie Xingen still wanted to say something, but in the end, he still got into the car and even started to investigate which hotel Yan Zhixing was staying at.
Jiang Mingxu remained seated in the backseat and did not say a word.
She wasn't such a person?
Was that really not the case?
Those outrageous things that she had done before their marriage were still vivid in his mind.
He had seen how she had tried all means to free herself from him and throw herself into someone else's arms no matter what.
Therefore, even if she behaved very intimately with him later on and showed a bitter hatred towards Yan Zhixing, he was still afraid that she was just acting.
To get him to let his guard down and then find another opportunity to leave resolutely...
She was capable of this.
She was like a treasure that he had stolen. Even when he placed her beside him, he did not feel like he had genuinely gotten her.
Not to mention when she disappeared from his sight...
He could sense that he was all agitated.
