With this in mind, she looked at Sheng You and Kang Weizhen, who were sitting shoulder to shoulder, talking and laughing, and her eyes were full of envy.
Except for her family background, she wasn’t inferior to Kang Weizhen in any regard, but their lives were so different. Because of her environment growing up, she had humbled herself and tried to please everyone around her but she wasn’t lucky enough to have a good husband like Sheng You.
She often wondered if she grew up in the Kang Family and Kang Weizhen was brought up by her parents, would their lives have been swapped?
Therefore, she couldn’t wait to see the miserable life of Kang Weizhen’s daughter, who grew up in that remote little mountainous village, despite inheriting Kang Weizhen’s genes.
Jiang Xinyi was lost in thought when someone next to her called her: “Mrs. Sheng.”
“Huh?” Jiang Xinyi returned from her reverie and immediately put on a gentle smile, looking nice and good-tempered.
“Mrs. Sheng.” The other party pointed at the watch and motioned her to check the time. “The time we agreed with Mr. Ming has passed. Will he come?”
“Sure…” Under the gaze of the reporters, Jiang Xinyi said firmly, “You know it’s common for Mr. Ming to be late. I’m afraid that he may refuse to come if I push him…”
The other party hurriedly said, “Then don’t push him. We’ll just wait.”
What he was afraid of was that Ming Qi wouldn’t come. He didn’t mind waiting as long as Ming Qi came.
Besides, what Jiang Xinyi said was right. It was normal for Ming Qi to be late.
Fifteen minutes had elapsed since the appointed time. Even Jiang Xinyi was a little restless. Under everyone’s stares, she excused herself to go to the bathroom and secretly called Ming Qi’s assistant. As soon as the call connected, “Hello—” Jiang Xinyi smiled.
“Toot toot—” The phone was hung up the next second, and she was stunned.
This situation generally occurred when the cell phone signal was bad or the other party had blacklisted her.
Of course, she could only believe it was the former.
Why would Ming Qi suddenly change his mind since he had promised her?
Little did she know that Ming Qi’s principle was that he had no principles. Before signing a contract, he had every right to change his mind. Even if he had signed a contract, he would rather pay liquidated damages than do anything he didn’t want to do.
The minutes ticked by.
People began to whisper, and the whispering became louder and louder.
A reporter couldn’t help but ask impatiently, “May I ask what happened? Didn’t you say that Mr. Ming would come today? It’s been over an hour now. If he isn’t coming, just tell us. Our time is precious!”
“Yes, I put my other work aside and have been waiting here! Isn’t this a waste of my time?”
“How can I explain to the editor?”
The reporters all complained and the scene was chaotic. This was the first time Jiang Xinyi had faced such a situation and she was completely at a loss for what to do.
So she could only throw Kang Weziehn a glance for help…
