Chapter 164 - Was It Because You Hate Me Or Because You Were Afraid Of My Mother (1/2)

”Aiyo, this is really like in a Chinese drama scene.”

”Sigh, who said that marrying a rich family is definitely a good thing. I can see that there are a lot of things there. I saw some news from other media this morning, you know, I saw a picture in it. It's from last night's welcoming banquet. Editor Jiang and Xian Family stood not far away, but Old Man Xian and Xian Jian acted as if they didn't see her at all! Tsk tsk.”

”Really? Xian Zihao seems to be very nice to Editor Jiang. I saw President Xian's Land Rover parked outside our company this morning and he even gave Editor Jiang a very sweet kiss. I'm so jealous of her!”

”Maybe he did that because he saw his beloved ex-girlfriend coming back and was afraid that his wife would be too suspicious. He intentionally coaxed her and then openly went to meet his ex-girlfriend.”

Jiang Ruolan finished her lunch quickly. Then she got up from the table and left the cafeteria. However, as she passed by her colleagues' tables, she stopped and turned around to glance at them.

Those who had noticed her passing by immediately quieted down and lowered their heads to eat. When they noticed her gaze, they immediately raised their eyes to look at her and smiled. ”Greetings, Editor-in-Chief Jiang.”

Jiang Ruolan smiled friendly, then she said, ”The company's Reporting Department has been very busy lately. Instead of busy thinking about work, you interns are more likely to spend time gossiping. You will definitely get good internship results. When the internships end, you will probably continue to be an official employee.”

Everyone knew that even though this company was just a company invested under Qin Group, it was still one of the country's most important media companies.

Many university students were sent over for internships by famous schools. However, internships were only internships, and being able to be expropriated by the company was the most practical goal of these people who came over to practice.

When she said this, those interns immediately bowed their heads, repeatedly saying sorry.

Jiang Ruolan wasn't actually blaming them. Gossip was a woman's nature. If it weren't for the fact that no one disliked the news, people in the media would have starved to death.

Although her words weren't heavy, it was enough for them not to dare to discuss these things behind someone else's back anymore, especially when the matter involving her.

Since Jiang Ruolan had already achieved her goal, she didn't want to stay any longer. She politely smiled at them and said, ”Eat well.” With that, she turned around and left.

”Heavens, why was that smile on Editor Jiang's face just now like she was gritting her teeth in anger? It can't be that she really heard what we just said, right?”

Behind her, a lower voice could be heard faintly. It was faintly, but it still could be heard clearly in the ears of an attentive person like Jiang Ruolan.

Although she had some confidence in herself now, it was still impossible for her to be completely unaffected. Xian Zihao had said that he wanted her to fight for their relationship, and even though Zhou Shufen had a strong sense of purpose, she did not reveal her edge and had not made a move yet.

Or perhaps, even if she did make a move, Jiang Ruolan would not be able to see it now.

What could she do? She had no choice but to wait and observe.

Jiang Ruolan had no other choice but to calm down and continued to live her life wholeheartedly.

When she got off work, Jiang Ruolan suddenly received a call. It was from an unfamiliar number. When she picked up the call and heard the voice, her face changed slightly.

****

Half an hour later, in H City, Beidou Avenue, in an elegant and secluded teahouse...

Jiang Ruolan didn't know why Zhan Lian would choose such a place to meet with her, but from her understanding of Zhan Lian, she knew that she had always been disdainful of her.

Jiang Ruolan knew that Zhan Lian came alone to H City to meet her and of course, her sudden appearance was without Jiang Guanyu's knowledge.

When she arrived at the teahouse, she saw Zhan Lian sitting in the second floor's plum blossom room.

Zhan Lian was indeed a woman who knew how to enjoy herself.

Jiang Ruolan snickered as she followed the waiter's lead. Once they entered the room, she then met with Zhan Lian's eyes.
