Chapter 58: Xiaoqing Brings Lunch (Part 1)

"Hello President Wang, you aren't playing games with me, are you? I went there and got a cold shoulder, didn't accomplish a thing."

The woman on the other end of the phone stopped laughing and asked, "What are you rushing for? As long as you do as I say, your deal will definitely go through in the end. Look, if I hadn't notified you, would you even know where that bitch Su Muyun is?"

Had President Wang not told him, Baldy Peng truly would not have known Su Muyun's address. He took a deep drag of his cigarette and said, "I still don't get it though, why are you helping me, President Wang?"

"I told you, Su Muyun is standing in my way, and we are just each taking what we need. I will arrange things for you, but you must cooperate with me. This cannot be rushed."

"Fine, fine, fine, I'll do whatever you say. Have time to visit Aowan sometime, I'll play the host, I guarantee you'll be satisfied." Thinking of this woman's peerless beauty, a lewd smile gradually spread across Baldy Peng's face.

The woman said coldly, "Do I look like someone who has free time? Ours is strictly a cooperative relationship. Once the deed is done, we have never met. Understand?"

For this woman to actually use the word "understand?" made Baldy Peng's teeth itch with hatred, but he also knew he could not afford to offend her.

Not only was her background something he couldn't mess with, but she was also the type of person who would stop at nothing.

He instantly reined in his thoughts and said respectfully, "Understood."

"Good." The woman promptly hung up the phone.

"Damn your mother, this bitch is truly a low-class piece of work!" Baldy Peng tossed his phone aside and cursed fiercely.

The bespectacled man driving glanced back at him and said with a ingratiating smile, "Boss, where are we going?"

Baldy Peng poked him on the head and snapped, "Are you blind? I've been chewed out by two bitches all night, hurry up and find me a club, I need to blow off some steam!"

Inside the villa, Su Muyun snatched the cups off the table and smashed them to pieces one by one. She pointed at Wei Jiahao and yelled, "How did he find this place?"

"Director Su, this isn't Aowan after all, there was nothing we could do..."

Su Muyun simply could not understand why, despite keeping her whereabouts strictly confidential, that disgusting piece of trash Baldy Peng had managed to find her address, and moreover, had shown up uninvited tonight to completely ruin the evening she and Jiang Yang were sharing.

Unwilling to give up just like that, what else could she do?

In a bedroom, Wang Ruolan put down the phone in her hand, leaned against the headboard, and stretched out her fair, slender legs. A natural, slight smile curved the corners of her lips as she murmured to herself, "Darling, you say what's so great about other women? No matter how wonderful they are, none of them will ever care about you as much as I do."

Her finger lightly brushed across her crimson lips, and she stuck out her tongue to lick them, as if lingering over the memory of past passionate kisses with Jiang Yang.

Her amber eyes became dazed with infatuation: "Soon, we will be together again."

...

Early the next morning, Jiang Yang yawned as he took the subway to work.

Last night's events made him realize that a underworld big sister like Su Muyun was not suited for him; they belonged to two entirely different worlds.

They had merely sparked a little fire due to an accidental encounter, but no matter how bright that spark was, they would eventually return to their respective lives.

If he truly wanted to find someone to marry, he needed to be with someone suitable for him, rather than acting on a temporary impulse.

Just as the subway was about to arrive at his station, his phone rang. He picked it up to see it was a call from Liang Xiaoxing.

He answered, "Hello, Sister Xiaoxing."

The familiar, sunny voice came through the receiver: "Hey, Jiang Yang, I've got a little surprise for you."

"Ah? What surprise?"

"I've finished my business and I'm back to work at Sunshine Capital today."

"Really? That's wonderful! Isn't that right across the street from our company's building?"

"Mm-hmm! My office just happens to have a view of your building. By the way, I brought lunch today, made some soup, and prepared a portion for you too. I'll come over to your company and we can eat together."

A warmth spread through Jiang Yang's heart. She was bringing him lunch—what a familiar feeling.

He still remembered the very first day he arrived at Donghai University when Sister Xiaoxing brought him lunch.

Back then, she was a senior in the finance department. Having a beautiful senior bring him food on his very first day at school had earned him quite a bit of jealousy from his dorm mates.

It was a pity that later on, some classmates found out Liang Xiaoxing was his aunt, and rumors started swirling around the campus.

People whispered that their relationship violated ethics, and even teachers had called Xiaoxing in for a talk. Yielding to various pressures, Liang Xiaoxing, being a thin-skinned young woman, gradually began to keep her distance from Jiang Yang.

Today, she had once again taken the initiative to bring him food, which meant she no longer cared about those gossipy rumors at all.

When it came to someone suitable for him, who could possibly be a better match than her?

Although he always had a vague feeling that something very unpleasant had happened between them previously—memories he still couldn't quite recall clearly—

as long as she was willing to be with him, there probably wasn't anything he couldn't accept.

Besides, if he could appear with her in front of Wang Ruolan, he could really tick her off good!

Didn't she say she wouldn't interfere with his personal life? Wang Ruolan used to hate Sister Xiaoxing the most; if he ate the food she brought right there in the company, would Wang Ruolan still remain so calm?

"Alright, our company's pantry is big enough, come on over and we can eat right there," Jiang Yang agreed without hesitation.

"Okay, just stay at the company and wait for me after get-off work," Xiaoxing reminded him with a nag.

Hanging up the phone, Jiang Yang's mood improved significantly, and his steps became light and breezy as he exited the subway.

Arriving at his company's building, he hummed a little tune as he stepped into the elevator, only for his nose to catch a familiar scent.

The fragrance was far too familiar, triggering a reflex that brought to mind the memory of her unclothed body.

He looked up to see Ruolan, dressed in a light blue suit dress, staring at him coldly.

"Supervisor Jiang, you seem to be in a great mood today?" Ruolan asked him, acting just like any ordinary colleague.

Her lips were painted with an alluring bright red lipstick, and those seductive lips gave anyone the urge to step forward and taste them deeply.

Jiang Yang suppressed the evil thoughts in his mind. He already had Sister Xiaoxing; he must never think about this psycho woman again.

"That's right, good events bring high spirits."

Ruolan smiled faintly. "What good events? Let me in on it so I can be happy too."

"Actually, nothing special. You'll find out if you stay at the company during lunch time in a bit."

"Oh?" Ruolan narrowed her eyes at him.
