minutes later, a group of people hurriedly entered the shopping center’s main entrance.
The man leading the group, wasn’t that President Zhao from XX Department Store?
Jiang Ye had only given 15 minutes on the phone, and since President Zhao himself was not too far from the shopping center, he had managed to arrive so promptly.
From entering the main gate to taking the elevator.
Finally, by the time they reached the intended floor, another three minutes had gone by.
One could see that President Zhao’s forehead was already covered in a layer of sweat.
"Has Jun’er arrived?" he asked his assistant.
"President Zhao, the young master has rushed over here. He should arrive any moment now."
Clearly, President Zhao, who had been so arrogant over the phone earlier, probably got wind of Jiang Ye’s identity and was now so scared that he was nearly wetting his pants.
Upon entering the room, he instantly put on a face full of ingratiating smiles:
"Young Master Jiang, I had no idea it was you. My apologies for before."
Jiang Ye glanced at him indifferently:
"President Zhao?" he uttered the two words.
"No, no, no, Young Master Jiang, calling me Little Zhao is just fine." For more chapters visıt novel•fire.net
He was referring to himself as "I" before, now it’s Little Zhao?
His attitude had changed quite dramatically, hadn’t it?
This scene was unsurprising to Jiang Ye, Lu Jing, and Jiang Yuan, but to Eldest Miss Li, it seemed almost incredible.
After all, the Zhao Family was one that the Li family aspired to cling to.
On any ordinary day, even Eldest Miss Li’s own father was clearly inferior in front of President Zhao, always smiling obsequiously and fawning continuously.
"Uncle Zhao?" she couldn’t help but call out.
When President Zhao heard this, he finally turned to look.
Upon seeing her, he frowned deeply and then, without paying her any more attention, turned back to flatter Jiang Ye:
"Young Master Jiang, what is the matter that requires your personal attention? Did my unworthy son show you disrespect?
Rest assured, once we return home, I’ll make sure to educate him properly!"
Jiang Ye curled his lip:
"Let’s wait until your son arrives to discuss further."
We ought to wait for everyone to be present before having a proper discussion, right?
As their conversation came to a pause, a young man about 20 years old entered:
However, just as he approached his father, still not fully comprehending what was happening, he was met with a resounding slap across the face.
With a ’smack’, the sound echoed throughout the store, and the young man’s face instantly swelled and reddened.
The force of it, just listening was painful.
Upon seeing the young man enter, Jiang Yuan immediately retreated behind her sister-in-law.
Seeing this, what more was there for Lu Jing not to understand?
He asked in a low voice:
"Is he the one you wanted to give the gift to?"
Otherwise, there seemed to be no one else.
Jiang Yuan didn’t deny it:
But sister-in-law, I really didn’t flirt with him.
He’s always the one who comes to me; I’ve never initiated contact with him.
At school, he’s well-known for disliking Li Qian, everyone knows it."
What else could be said?
The young girl was too naive, inexperienced with such deceitful men, and alas, she had been duped.
"No worries, no worries, your brother is right here fighting for your justice.
We haven’t done anything wrong, don’t worry."
It’s very normal for a young girl to admire a boy.
If having a secret crush was a crime, how many would be in jail now?
Firstly, Jiang Yuan had never taken the initiative.
Secondly, the other party never disclosed his relationship with the Li family publicly.
Could this be considered fraud?
Moreover, Jiang Yuan was a victim as well!
And who knew how many more victims there were?
With the comfort of Lu Jing, Jiang Yuan’s restless heart was finally able to find some peace.
