Chapter 344: Chapter 344: Two Companions

While Jiangli and Lin Yurong were enjoying their time together, some people weren’t having such a good day.

After Chen Yeming finished his phone call with his son, he busied himself at the company for a while, wrapping up the project, before he and a colleague who had also worked overtime took the elevator downstairs.

As soon as he reached the lobby downstairs, Chen Yeming received a phone call.

Seeing the caller ID, Chen Yeming’s expression clearly became uncomfortable.

The colleague beside him, keenly observant, immediately displayed a knowing look upon seeing his face and said, "President Chen, if you have matters to attend to, please go ahead. I’ll be heading back first."

Chen Yeming was just about to nod when he suddenly remembered what his son Chen Tianxu had said.

Chen Tianxu’s words today were strange.

Chen Yeming understood every word, but when put together, he was somewhat puzzled.

Regardless, he had promised to do what Chen Tianxu asked of him, and he intended to keep his word.

The words Chen Yeming was about to say then changed, "Old Jiang, you stay. I’ll give you a lift on my way home later."

Old Jiang was Chen Yeming’s deputy, and naturally agreed with a broad smile upon hearing his superior’s offer.

Chen Yeming asked Old Jiang to wait a moment and took a few steps aside with his phone before answering the call.

Glancing back, he saw Old Jiang had sensibly turned away.

Chen Yeming answered the phone in a lowered voice, "Why are you calling me at this hour?"

"Didn’t you say you’d come over tonight, hubby? I’ve been waiting for you~" A voice so sweet it was cloying came from the other end.

Chen Yeming frowned, "Haven’t I told you, I’m working overtime tonight, so I won’t be coming over.

"So what if you’re working overtime, you’re off work now, aren’t you? Hubby, I’ve been waiting for you for so long, just come on over. Besides, it’s empty over at your place, isn’t it better here?" The woman kept cooing.

On any other day, Chen Yeming, driven by lust, would have agreed.

But today was different...

Chen Yeming replied directly, "I won’t be coming over today, and don’t call me hubby from now on. You know our relationship better than I do."

The woman fell silent.

Chen Yeming was an out-and-out scumbag.

Although he had a mistress, he had never thought of divorcing his wife.

The mistress, having tried hard for many years, was infuriated by Chen Yeming’s words and hung up the phone abruptly.

Chen Yeming put away his phone, apologized to Old Jiang as he walked over, "Sorry for the inconvenience, Old Jiang, just a minor issue, it’s settled now. Let’s head back."

Old Jiang, hiding his knowledge of the situation, smiled and followed Chen Yeming out.

Chen Yeming and Old Jiang found their car, and after both were seated, they headed home together.

Both of them lived on the outskirts of the city.

The route was indeed convenient for both.

As Chen Yeming was taking Old Jiang home, he glanced up and noticed the car was low on gas.

Chen Yeming suddenly remembered, the day before yesterday, when he took his mistress out, he seemed to have forgotten to refuel on the way back.

These couple of days, he had almost been living at the company and hadn’t driven, so he hadn’t noticed the fuel gauge was nearly empty.

However, there weren’t many gas stations on this route.

The only one was quite out of the way.

"Old Jiang, it looks like we may need to make a detour to a gas station. I’m almost out of gas," Chen Yeming said apologetically.

Old Jiang casually said, "No worries, I know of a gas station, it’s just a little ahead."

Chen Yeming nodded, thinking the same.

The two then drove to the gas station.

But when they arrived, they found no one came out to serve them.

Chen Yeming rolled down his window and called out toward the nearby rest area, "Anyone there?"
