857 A Million Times for You 219 (1/2)
She then brought her bodyguards away and headed to Gu Beicheng's office.
His office was elegantly furnished.
An Xiaoning knew the moment she entered that the decor fitted his style.
She sat on the chair and discovered that the drawer of the desk was locked.
It was secured with a PIN lock.
She hired a locksmith to replace the lock with another PIN lock.
She input a new passcode before taking a look at the things inside the cabinet.
There was nothing much in the cabinet, apart from a book that had caught her attention.
She took out the book and flipped through it casually to discover that there was a photo inside.
The person photographed was none other than herself.
The photo was taken several years ago when she still had long hair.
She had no idea when he had taken it.
An Xiaoning took the photo out from the book and put it into her bag, feeling a little guilty. Perhaps she was afraid that Lin Mingxi would see it when she returns to the office after her recovery.
She did not want to upset Lin Mingxi any further.
When she arrived downstairs again, the lobby manager and the other employees were extremely respectful toward her, perhaps because they had heard that she was now the leader of the company.
There was a drastic change in their attitudes.
An Xiaoning headed to Wei Ni Estate.
She parked her car by the entrance and walked toward Mei Yangyang's house.
Mei Yangyang was sitting on the swing while Long Tianze was standing behind her and pushing her forward gently.
They seemed just like a couple who were still in the honeymoon phase of their relationship.
”Hi.”
”Sis,” Mei Yangyang greeted while waving at her.
She walked toward them and sat on the other swing, grabbing tightly onto the chains and tilting her head sideways.
”Sis, has Gu Beicheng come to yet?”
”No,” she answered, shaking her head.
”I hope he recovers and comes to soon. That way, you won't have to be so tired anymore.”
An Xiaoning hoped for the same too.
”This situation is exactly the same as when Qingyan went missing during the tsunami. By the way, I've cut ties with both the Jin and Lin families.”
”Cut ties? Why did you do that all of a sudden?”
She briefly explained the reason, which shocked Mei Yangyang greatly. ”Since you've cut ties with them, so be it. You don't need them anyway.”
”That's what I thought too; hence, I have no regrets. There are lots of things I have to do now. I feel like my brains can't keep up. Shall we go have a meal together?”
Mei Yangyang got up from the swing and said, ”Sure. Tianze and I love going over to yours for a meal.”
”Let's go,” An Xiaoning said with a gentle expression on her face.
She did not see Jin Qingyan at home and only found out that he was at the gym after asking the servants.
”What's up with him lately? Why has he begun hitting the gym again? Did you assign that fool with a task again?” Long Tianze asked out of curiosity.
”I was just hoping that he would get an eight-pack.”
Long Tianze snorted with laughter and said, ”He used to only have a six-pack, eight seems to be a challenge.”
”I'm heartened to see how willing he is to concede to my requests. Let Auntie Chen prepare the dishes while we go check on him.”
