The CEO's husband didn't come home every night, and Secretary Chu was angry

'Beep beep beep'

The bedside phone kept ringing.

Chu Mu tossed and turned in frustration. Before he even opened his eyes, his hand subconsciously reached for the phone on the bedside table.

“Hello.” “Damn, who called her so early in the morning? I didn’t know she worked late for Yi Yichen last night.

"Twilight, how's the progress over there? If there's no progress, the order from the British Royal Family will be snatched away by your stepsister."

My best friend Qi Man's voice came from inside, her tone was flustered:

"What happened?" Chu Mu was no longer sleepy. He sat up from the bed and asked hurriedly.

Six months ago, Chu Mu's mother died of breast cancer. Before the seventh day of her death, Chu Mu's father was getting married, and his wife was Chu Mu's mother's best friend, Tian Aili.

Since then, Tian Aili and her daughter Lin Jiaojiao have moved into Chu Mu's house. Chu Mu's father, Lin Chusheng, treats Lin Jiaojiao as his own daughter. Not only does he let her join the Nuobao Jewelry Company inherited by her mother, he also kicks Chu Mu, his biological daughter, out and makes Lin Jiaojiao the chief designer.

Rumors were circulating that Tian Aili and Chu's mother had been secretly together long before their mother's death. Lin Jiaojiao was also Lin Chusheng's daughter, otherwise why would a fatherless child have the surname Lin?

Chu Mu didn't know if the latter rumors were true, but the former ones were definitely true. If the two hadn't been hooking up long ago, how could they have been so eager to marry Tian Aili and her daughter before even the seventh day of Chu's mother's death?

Chu Mu's grandfather was so angry that he vomited blood, and her grandmother had a minor stroke and was still recovering. In the past six months, she had almost lost three of her closest relatives.

This was like a knife stabbed into Chu Mu's heart. Whenever she thought of it, it would fester and fester, causing her to toss and turn in pain.

She swore that she would take back what belonged to the Chu family and make Lin Chusheng pay the price.

"Impossible." Although Noble was once the largest dealer of rough diamonds, many of its precious gemstones had been confiscated as early as the 50s.

Nowadays, Noble’s jewelry is almost entirely made from raw stones mined every year, so it is impossible to produce a large number of high-quality emeralds.

This is also the reason why Noble has never been able to become a high-end jewelry brand.

"It's absolutely true. Lin Jiaojiao has started contacting Mr. Chen, the design director of E.Shine's China region." E.Shine is the top jewelry company in the UK and the official jeweler of the British royal family.

Qi Man asked anxiously, "I heard that Lin Jiaojiao is getting married. Did you know?"

"..." This surprised Chu Mu: "When did it happen?"

"Didn't your dad tell you?"

Lin Chusheng had always disliked Chu Mu, and after his mother's death, he looked at her more like a plague. How could he tell her something like this when he was already on guard against her?

"With whom?" Chu Mu asked.

"The president of Yi Jewelry—Yi Fengteng."

"What?" Yi Yichen's nephew. Although Nobo Company was not small, it was still too young to join the big ship of Yi Jewelry.

"You're surprised too, aren't you?" Qi Man's curiosity was piqued, and she spoke freely, "It's said they met on a plane and fell in love at first sight. They're planning to get married early next month, and the betrothal gift is a kilogram of emeralds."

Chu Mu frowned. A flash marriage after falling in love at first sight might be acceptable for ordinary people, but it seemed too dramatic for the heir to a billionaire fortune.

No matter who Lin Jiaojiao marries, Chu Mu cannot let her get this jewelry order, let alone let her get 1 kilogram of emeralds.

……

After hanging up Qi Man, Chu Mu got out of bed and washed up. The moment his legs touched the ground, he felt a tearing pain.

Chu Mu cursed Yi Yichen harshly, and then chose a smart jumpsuit to put on, but thought of the phone call in the morning.

She changed back into her A-line skirt and high heels.

Half an hour later, the taxi stopped in front of Kehua Technology Building.

Chu Mu was waiting for the elevator on the first floor. About half a minute later, the elevator door opened.

She stepped in. Looking up, she saw Yi Yichen standing in the elevator.
