C124 (2/2)

Liu Rong sat on Cheng Zijian's lap in the stairwell, ”Her sudden return made our secretary very nervous.”

”She's back now. Is your work affected?” Cheng Zijian couldn't help but frown. If Lu Xunqian gave the materials to Chu Xin Xia and then stopped giving them to the secretary, how would he get the new information?

”Of course it won't affect her. To put it bluntly, she's just a person who sent and received documents. All the work is still up to us.” Liu Rong laughed in disdain, ”What does she know!”

Cheng Zijian let out a sigh of relief and hugged her. ”That's good.”

He was the one who took out all of the Lu family's failed plans to tell the Jiang family. Previously, because of Jiang Hengyuan's repeated shelving of the Lu family's plan, it had now suddenly been implemented! Although it was somewhat rushed, it was precisely because of this unprepared situation that caused the Lu index finger to drop!

Jiang Hengyuan's hatred towards the Lu family allowed this matter to progress more smoothly …

Although both of them were working hard, there seemed to be no turning point. A week later, another bid by the Lu family was revealed, forcing the Lu family to withdraw their investment and reduce their losses.

On the other hand, the Jiang Clan was getting stronger and stronger. Not only did they swallow the small company sold by the Lu Clan, they even took in all of the projects that the Lu Clan did not succeed in investing in.

The smooth sailing Jiang Hengyuan began to shine once again in the business circles, while Lu Qian Xu, who had always been in the limelight, was continuously losing.

”Is it really okay?” Xia asked with a frown.

Lu Xu Qian smiled bitterly, ”What can I do for you?” It's just that I've earned less money. ”

Chu Xinxia was somewhat uneasy. Seeing Lu Xu's calm and composed appearance, she felt that it would be better to add anger and grief.

The day after Chu Xinxia thought that things should end, Lu sold a small company, and the next minute, Jiang bought it.

Chu Xinxia even felt that Jiang Hengyuan would rather not profit from this! The feeling of wanting to swallow up the Lu family made Chu Xinxia feel very bad!

It was one thing for the Jiang Family to acquire the Lu Family and shake off their company. But on this day, they even sent an invitation for Lu xu to bring his female companion to the Jiang Family's celebratory feast!

”How is it? Do you want to be my companion?” Lu Xu said to Chu Xinxia with a smile, ”That'll also allow Jiang Hengyuan to see you again.”

Chu Xinxia frowned, not knowing what to say.

He wanted to refuse, because he really did not want to appear in a public place together with Lu Xunqian. However, if she accepted it, she would no longer know how to get along with Lu Xunqian. Would she feel even more embarrassed if she caused another ruckus like this?

Up till the end of the day, she had not given Lu Xunqian a clear answer. Or rather, she did not even know what answer to give him.

Upon entering, Chu Xinxia saw Jiang Hengyuan standing there.

”You're back!”

Jiang Hengyuan was still as handsome and tall as when they first met, like a boy who had just graduated from university.

Chu Xin Xia remembered that Lu Xu Qian had said that Jiang Hengyuan was just a child that couldn't be separated from his parents. At first, she wasn't sure, but now she believed him.

”Xin Xia, can you be my partner at dinner?”

Jiang Hengyuan said with a pair of eyes that wanted to burn her.

Chu Xinxia frowned, ”Hengyuan, what happened to you, you …”

”What's wrong with me?” Jiang Hengyuan's expression was a bit stiff. ”You'll promise me that, won't you?”

Chu Xinxia shook her head, ”Hengyuan, stop it, okay?”
