Chapter 429: Chapter 429: Didn’t I Sell it to You?

Lu Jinglun raised his eyes and glanced at her: "As long as Secretary Jiang suffers some loss at the banquet, what does it matter if we don’t do this business?"

Jiang Yan’s face turned pale.

The meaning of these words was already very clear.

She maintained her calm demeanor and reminded him: "We’re getting engaged on Saturday. If President Huang touches me, will President Lu feel proud of that?"

Lu Jinglun raised an eyebrow and glanced at her, sarcasm curving his lips: "If President Huang touches you, you might as well just go with him. Why would you need to get engaged to me?"

Jiang Yan’s expression changed abruptly, and her heart plummeted at this moment.

She was threatened by Lu Jinglun’s second uncle and had no choice but to marry him. He was unable to refuse and vented all his dissatisfaction with his uncle on her, taking it out on her.

Jiang Yan naturally knew this was unfair, but as passive as she was, what right did she have to talk about fairness with him?!

It seemed she must attend the banquet.

As for President Huang...

She could only find a way to save herself.

Before leaving the company, Jiang Yan sent a message to Wen Ran: [I have some work to handle temporarily, so I will be back a bit late. If you get bored at home, you can watch some TV.]

...

When Wen Ran received Jiang Yan’s message, she had just hailed a taxi.

She quickly replied: [Okay, you focus on your work first. I’ll just wait for you at home, nothing much to do.]

After sending the message, she looked at the retreating scenery outside the car window, wondering if Fu Chenlie would really bring Jiang Wan Ning back to the villa for dinner tonight.

If he really did that, their relationship could only end here.

Twenty minutes later, she arrived at Jiang Yan’s house.

To avoid making the surrounding feel too quiet, Wen Ran immediately turned on the TV and then sat on the sofa to start ordering takeout.

While carefully selecting dishes with her head down, the phone screen suddenly switched.

The caller ID displayed the word "Boss."

Wen Ran stared at the contact name for a few seconds, then gave a sarcastic smile.

Only remembered her after sending Jiang Wan Ning off?

Wen Ran didn’t answer, but after the call automatically disconnected, Fu Chenlie called again.

After hesitating, she swiped to answer.

Fu Chenlie’s voice came through immediately: "Where are you?"

"At a friend’s place."

"Which friend? Specific location?"

Wen Ran deflected, asking: "Do you need something?"

"I’ll come pick you up."

"No need. I plan to stay at my friend’s house tonight. You just stay with Ms. Wan Ning, you haven’t seen each other for a long time, you should have a lot to talk about."

After she said this, there was silence on the other end of the line for a few seconds.

Then he spoke: "I’m at home, alone."

These words were meant to convey that Jiang Wan Ning got off when she reached her destination, and he didn’t take her to the villa for dinner.

Wen Ran said calmly: "Then you can have dinner alone."

"Send me the location, I’ll come pick you up."

"I already said I’m staying at a friend’s house tonight. Didn’t you hear me?"

The man’s voice carried a hint of displeasure: "Wen Ran, if you have any dissatisfaction, you can say it. What does it mean to spend the night at a friend’s?"

She gave a faint, unapologetic smile and retorted: "What’s wrong with spending the night at a friend’s? I married you, I wasn’t sold to you. If you’re really that free, why not mind Ms. Wan Ning’s business more, since she’s quite happy to be taken care of by you."

Fu Chenlie’s voice turned a shade darker: "I gave Wan Ning a ride tonight. Does that bother you?"

"Why would I be bothered? You’re already working in the same company, you coordinate well and have smooth business dealings. It’s normal for good partners to give each other a ride."

"Is that your true feeling, or... are you being sarcastic?"
