Chapter 428: Chapter 428: How do you want her to think?

He watched as Wen Ran’s figure completely disappeared and got into the car, frowning.

Jiang Wan Ning saw Wen Ran leave in a huff, and Fu Chenlie got into the car as if nothing happened, a satisfied curve forming at the corner of his lips.

Want to fight her? Still too green!

His smug thoughts were short-lived as the man’s warning voice sounded coldly: "Wan Ning, I’m already married. Even if I agreed to give you a ride, you shouldn’t be sitting boldly in the front passenger seat. My wife was just here; what are you making her think?"

Jiang Wan Ning’s expression slightly changed.

In the next second, she appeared as if she had made a mistake, hurriedly apologizing: "I’m sorry, Ah Lie, I didn’t mean to. It’s just that I’ve always sat in the front passenger seat whenever you start driving, even when you picked me up from the airport last time. So I instinctively sat there out of habit earlier. I didn’t realize Ms. Wen was also here; I should have given up the seat for her."

Fu Chenlie’s face darkened: "It’s not that you should have given her the seat, but you shouldn’t have occupied her place. Not sitting in the front passenger seat of a married man is basic social etiquette. Have you forgotten the most basic knowledge after being abroad for two years?"

Jiang Wan Ning’s face turned a few shades uglier.

She hadn’t expected him to reproach her so mercilessly.

A few seconds later, the woman tentatively asked: "Otherwise, should I sit in the back now?"

He glanced at her irritably: "Wen Ran has already left. To whom are you displaying this act by sitting in the back?"

She could only apologize again: "I’m sorry."

The man said nothing, started the engine, and drove off.

But along the way, he couldn’t help thinking—

Where did Wen Ran go?

Did she truly have plans with friends or was it just an excuse she made casually?

...

After getting on the elevator, Wen Ran couldn’t hold back her tears anymore.

As the elevator was about to reach the first floor, she worried that an employee might see her in a bad state and stealthily wiped away the tears from her eyes, pretending as if nothing was amiss.

Once out of the elevator, she called Jiang Yan.

The call was quickly connected.

Wen Ran asked: "Ah Yan, have you finished work?"

"About to leave work, what’s wrong?"

"I want to come to your place; when will you be home?"

Jiang Yan hesitated for two seconds before speaking: "You go ahead, I’ll try to come home early. You know the password, just get in directly. Do you want me to bring you something to eat?"

"You just come home; I’ll order takeaway."

"Okay, then wait for me at home."

Wen Ran responded with a "hm," and hung up the phone.

Lu Group.

After hanging up the call, Jiang Yan glanced toward the direction of the president’s office.

She was hesitant because originally she was planning to attend a banquet with Lu Jinglun tonight, but Wen Ran’s voice just now seemed strange, as if she was deeply aggrieved.

She wanted to go home and comfort her.

Ultimately, Jiang Yan knocked on the president’s office door.

She entered and looked at Lu Jinglun standing in front of the desk: "President Lu, I would like to take a leave tonight. Can another secretary accompany you to the banquet?"

The latter did not even look up, his tone indifferent: "Secretary Jiang is famous for handling her liquor. President Huang personally requested you to drink with him. At this moment, you tell me you’re taking leave?"

President Huang was the middle-aged man who repeatedly tried to touch her leg at the last banquet, greasy and lecherous. Just thinking about his face made her nauseous.

Jiang Yan knew that Lu Jinglun was deliberately retaliating against her.

But she still had a glimmer of hope and tried once more: "President Lu, I truly have matters to attend to, and President Huang clearly desires more than just drinking. He’s the kind of person who lacks boundaries; I’m worried that accompanying you to the banquet will impede your business dealings."
