35 Go to Hell, That Jerk! (2/2)
He had not returned home yet.
After An Xiaoning ate, she was not in the mood to sleep yet. Dialling his number again, he finally picked up the call.
”Where are you?”
”Working overtime in the office.”
An Xiaoning immediately felt relieved. She queried, ”Have you eaten?”
”Not yet, I'll eat when I get back.”
”Okay.” An Xiaoning hung up. She had not expected that he'd still be working at his office at this time and had not even eaten yet. She instructed Auntie Chen, ”Auntie Chen, Qingyan is still working overtime at his office and hasn't eaten. Can you heat up some dumplings? I'll bring it over to him.”
Auntie Chen showed a smile and replied, ”Young Mistress is still the most considerate. I'll go and heat up the dumplings right now.”
She smiled and nodded, then headed upstairs to remove her makeup and change her clothes.
When she came downstairs, Auntie Chen had already finished packing the dumplings.
She carried the food container and headed out, asked Fan Shixin for the car keys, and drove to Jin Corporation herself.
The upper floors of the building were indeed still illuminated. It was clear that there were still people working overtime.
She put on a face mask and carried the food container as she got off, heading towards the building entrance.
However, she was stopped by the security officer on duty. ”What are you here for?”
”I'm here to deliver some food to President Jin.”
”Oh, who are you?” The security officer sized her up.
Oddly enough, she didn't want to remove her face mask and the entrance was quite dark, so the security officer did not recognize who she was.
”I'm their housemaid.”
The security officer sniggered. ”Don't talk nonsense. Be careful, I might just send you to the police station. Our President has knocked off long ago, who are you delivering food to? Who are you trying to pass off as?”
An Xiaoning's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Jin Qingyan was lying to her?
Her heart became thoroughly cold.
She turned around without saying a word and headed towards the car.
Behind her, she could hear the security officer's intentionally raised voice, ”Swindlers these days are resorting to such cheap methods.”
An Xiaoning got into the car directly and placed the food container beside the driver's seat.
At this moment, her heart was racing like the scene of a battlefield.
She sat in the car for half an hour, right until the building of Jin Corporation had completely closed and she had verified that the security officer was saying the truth. He had not been working overtime indeed.
Go to hell, that jerk!
He had the guts to lie to her!
Did he think she — An Xiaoning — was a weakling?
She drove straight to Wei Ni Estate and had just parked the car at the roadside when the main gate opened. His white Bentley slowly appeared. Staring at this car before her, An Xiaoning suddenly clenched her fist.
She thought to herself, You could just tell me if you came to meet her. Why did you have to lie?
An Xiaoning threw her face mask aside and got off the car without anyone noticing.
Her rapid footsteps brought her to the main gate. When the person who opened the door recognized her, he clearly looked ill at ease.
”Young Mistress.”
”I happened to pass by here, so I came over to take a look.” Her tone was unconsciously cold and she strolled slowly to the living room.
She had not reached the entrance yet, but she could already hear the sound of music. The slow melodious singing felt extremely pleasant to her ears.
Chi Rui'er sat before the dining table, sipping the last bit of red wine in her glass. An Xiaoning did not even bother changing her shoes. It was her own house and she could do as she pleased.
