"Don't worry, Mr. Lu, absolutely not." Jiang Mian said this without hesitation.

She could swear to God that she could never have any ill intentions towards Little Stone.

But Lu Bozhou probably wasn't interested in hearing her loyalty, and only nodded slightly.

He raised his hand and pressed an internal phone button.

Song Xun entered quickly, "BOSS."

Lu Bozhou handed the employment contract and confidentiality agreement to Song Xun.

Song Xun took it to make a backup, and soon returned to the office.

He handed Lu Bozhou a pill.

Jiang Mian paused, this was the second time she had seen Song Xun handing medicine to Lu Bozhou.

Last time it was in the car, and it was also a small white pill like this.

Come to think of it... it seems like it's around this time.

Lu Bozhou took the medicine and put it in his mouth, the action smooth as if it were a habit.

Jiang Mian's gaze fell on him, looking at the man's handsome face, which was expressionless.

His Adam's apple bobbed slightly as he swallowed the pill. It seemed like a trivial, everyday incident.

A deep, slightly hoarse voice sounded as the man instructed Song Xun, "Send her away. Give me the details."

“Okay.” Song Xun nodded, then turned to look at Jiang Mian. “Miss Jiang, please come with me.”

Jiang Mian followed Song Xun, and before leaving, she glanced back at Lu Bozhou.

He sat in front of a floor-to-ceiling window, clearly tall, handsome, and flawless.

But for some reason, she felt a sense of loneliness that she couldn't quite put her finger on.

"Miss Jiang?"

"Hmm? They're here." Jiang Mian followed and closed the office door.

Jiang Mian gently patted her face, trying to clear her mind and avoid having any illusions.

Lu Bozhou is lonely? How could he be lonely...?

Whether in the past or present, women flock to him whenever he beckons.

He drives a luxury car worth millions, lives in a mansion worth tens of millions, and runs a company with an annual turnover of nearly 100 billion.

He felt lonely? Jiang Mian felt rather lonely when she was working as a rice noodle roll vendor and a crowd-delivery rider...

However, she forgot about the injury on her face and slapped her face.

My face started throbbing with pain again!

"hiss--!"

Her brow furrowed tightly, groaning in pain.

The pain was so intense, it almost brought tears to my eyes; I bet my eyes were red.

"Miss Jiang, are you alright?" Song Xun asked with concern as he heard her cry out in pain.

"It's nothing." Jiang Mian waved her hand, about to say that she had bumped into it accidentally, but before she could speak.

A young male voice rang out from the side, his voice clear and melodious.

But his tone was cold.

"What happened to your face?" The voice grew even colder. "Did Lu Bozhou hit you?"

When Jiang Mian heard that voice, her heart skipped a beat. How could she not recognize it? It was so familiar.

She had just turned her head in the direction of the sound when a tall, slender figure quickly approached her.

The next second, her chin was pinched.

Jiang Yuqing's handsome face was right in front of him.

He held Jiang Mian's chin and gently turned it from side to side as he carefully examined the injuries on her face.

"Uh..." Jiang Mian blinked, somewhat at a loss for words regarding this sudden situation.

The blood clots in her eyes became even more noticeable.

Jiang Yu frowned deeply.

Song Xun sighed, "Young Master Jiang, what's wrong with you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Yu interrupted him, "...Here we go again? What? Can't I come to Dingsheng? I'm here to discuss business!"

Song Xun didn't say much, but Jiang Yu was very resistant to Lu Bozhou and his confidants.

Jiang Mian knew perfectly well where his emotions came from, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Well... I'll be going now." Jiang Mian reached out and gently patted Jiang Yu's hand that was pinching her chin. "I just had a little accident. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Jiang."

Jiang Yu stared at her for a moment, then turned and headed toward Lu Bozhou's office without saying a word.

Jiang Mian followed Song Xun into the elevator.

“Miss Jiang, please don’t mind him. That’s Madam’s brother,” Song Xun said. “It might be because of you…”

Song Xun paused here, probably feeling that what he was about to say might be offensive.

Jiang Mian nodded. "I know. We're kind of alike, aren't we? Even our names sound the same."

Although Jiang Mian felt that her face resembled Xu Yawei's more.

But he does indeed bear some resemblance to his past self.

In her past life, everyone reminded her how insignificant she was, merely a substitute for Xu Yawei...

So Jiang Mian actually disliked this matter quite a bit. But in this life, she was able to gain Xiao Shitou's affection because her face bore a slight resemblance to his…

Jiang Mian seemed to find it less unbearable.

Song Xun smiled slightly, as if considering her feelings, and changed the subject, "I'll take you to the young master's place. As for some specific details, I'll tell you later."

Jiang Mian found Song Xun's change of topic to be very effective; she absolutely loved this topic.

"Okay! Thank you!" Jiang Mian's eyes lit up.

Once inside the car, Song Xun said, "No need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank the boss. It was his decision."

Moreover, going directly to the breakfast shop where she worked was also the boss's idea, which conveniently saved her.

Song Xun remembered that they had originally just parked their car on the side of the road, intending to wait until she finished her work before talking to her.

Then that gang of thugs arrived.

Song Xun was about to get out of the car to deal with the situation when the thugs suddenly attacked him.

Before Song Xun could react, the thug had already kicked the thug away...

He hadn't seen the boss show such a direct temper in a long time.

……

Meanwhile, Jiang Yu had already entered Lu Bozhou's office.

The door was pushed open with a loud bang.

The man sitting behind the desk raised his eyes slightly.

He looked at Jiang Yu with a calm and indifferent gaze.

"What is it?" Lu Bozhou asked calmly.

Jiang Yu sneered, "It's been so many years, Lu Bozhou, how come you're still so despicable?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Bozhou remained silent, only slightly raising his eyebrows, as if waiting for him to continue.

"One Jiang Mian isn't enough, you need another one. You really don't get tired of finding stand-ins."

Jiang Yu sneered again, "So hungry they're even going after delivery drivers?!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Bozhou narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Jiang Yu with a cold gaze.

"You investigated her?" Lu Bozhou's voice was indifferent, but then he suddenly chuckled. "What? Just because she's also named 'Jiang Mian'?"

"I had no idea how despicable you were if I hadn't investigated!"

Jiang Yu said coldly, "Who are you trying to fool with this 'deep affection is doomed' act? When Jiang Mian was around, why didn't you treat her any better?!"

Lu Bozhou gave him a cold look. "Don't investigate the people around me, Jiang Yu. Otherwise, I'll chop off all your long claws sooner or later."

These words enraged Jiang Yu.

Then, a sentence that infuriated him even more appeared the next second.

"Don't blame your brother-in-law for not giving you face then."
