Chapter 142 - Married To A Qin Family (1/2)

Jiang Ruolan was embarrassed, and she could only answer the call right in front of Xian Zihao. Before she could say anything, Qin Gengxin's clear and bright voice came from the other side, ”Did you get the message? Are you going to play a role where you pretend not to see text messages from this grandfather? Do you need me to repeat the message content for you?”

Jiang Ruolan rolled her eyes at the ceiling and silently cursed Qin Gengxin, who was getting more difficult to deal with. ”No need! I saw it!”

”That's good. Don't forget, I will be back on Monday, the day after tomorrow. I'll pick you up from your company.”

”I--

”Don't worry, you won't work overtime that day.” Qin Gengxin laughed and interrupted her. Just as Jiang Ruolan was about to go berserk, he laughed contentedly. ”Don't forget who your boss is ...”

Jiang Ruolan's face darkened, ”Do you think I'm bored? Even though I have free time, I will not accompany you to dinner. Why do you have to look for me?”

Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw the eyebrows of someone who was still leaning against the door raise slightly.

Jiang Ruolan's eyelids twitched.

On the other side, Qin Gengxin did not say anything. After a few seconds, Jiang Ruolan thought that her words were too hurtful, and just as she was about to apologize, a puzzled voice suddenly came from the other side, ”Jiang Ruolan? Jiang Ruolan? Is the signal bad over there? Why did I not hear your voice?”

Jiang Ruolan was stunned and was about to say something when she heard Qin Gengxin continuously say ”Hey” for a long time. She completely ignored Qin Gengxin's reply and finally said directly, ”There's really something wrong with your phone's signal. If there is nothing else, I'm hanging up.”

*Crack.*

She hung up.

Jiang Ruolan took a deep breath and looked at the darkened screen. Her heart was filled with hatred. Since when did Qin Gengxin learn to be perfectly shameless?!

Seeing her expression as if she had just eaten a yellow lotus, Xian Zihao smiled faintly but didn't say anything.

Once again, Jiang Ruolan covered her head with the frozen towel. Her head hurt even more.

That night, Jiang Ruolan's fever subsided, and her condition improved. Since the next day was Sunday, she was supervised by Xian Zihao to rest at home.

On that day, she either slept or went to the balcony to bask in the sun occasionally. Eventually, this serious illness got a lot better.

****

Monday.

After a week off, Jiang Ruolan finally returned to work. When she arrived at the company, she found that the number of people in the office had changed a lot. Apart from Xiong Ruogang, who was previously appointed as her assistant, many of her other colleagues have been transferred.

”Editor Jiang.”

When Jiang Ruolan entered the office, some new people in the office greeted her warmly. After all, she was the Business Reporting Department editor and was a target of their flattery. Furthermore, her identity had become a common secret in the company, so Jiang Ruolan was already used by this behavior.

”Sis Jiang ~” Xiong Ruogang suddenly slipped to her side, bent down and whispered into her ear, ”I heard that the straight haired girl sitting in the back seat is our Director Zhang's new girlfriend. We need to talk with her!”

Jiang Ruolan turned around to look at the person Xiong Ruogang was talking about. Seeing that it was an ordinary looking young girl with an outrageously good figure, she indifferently replied to Xiong Ruogang, ”I understand, go back and do your job. I haven't been here for a week, send me the important report from last week.”

”Oh, okay.” Xiong Ruogang quickly turned around and retreated.

In the afternoon, Jiang Ruolan pulled Xiong Ruogang with her to investigate some news. Around 3 pm, the two of them were taking pictures of flower beds under flagpoles in a square to the city's east.

Xiong Ruogang worked very hard and was very ambitious. She wanted to learn everything by herself, so Jiang Ruolan gave her the filming job. She went to the roadside shop and bought two bottles of water.

As Jiang Ruolan was about to leave and bring the water back to Xiong Ruogang. a small figure suddenly appeared in her view.

Jiang Ruolan didn't particularly like children. If she did, she liked the kind of cute and obedient children who didn't cry or make a ruckus, and she usually would stay away from the children who often cried.

Seeing the little girl giggling as if she was having fun, Jiang Ruolan stopped her steps and looked in that direction with a smile.

”Haha ~ Mommy, where are you going? Mummy ~~” The little girl ran around the flower bed, but she could not find where her mother hid. ”Mommy, come out … Heh heh … Mommy, come out quickly.”
