Night Fire Lingering

Lou Qi stayed in the hospital for three days.

When Gu Yanci was discharged from the hospital on the third day, he came to visit her.

"Visiting someone in the hospital empty-handed?" Lou Qi was in a bad mood and found fault with everyone.

Gu Yanci shrugged: "At least I came. Some people didn't even come, did they?"

Gao Zhu stood by, watching with concern, not daring to breathe too loudly.

'Some people'—anyone can tell that it refers to Jiang Xing!

Only President Gu would dare to stab President Lou in the back like this.

"How did you know?" Lou Qi asked irritably.

Gu Yanci knew, of course: "She went to Germany on a business trip."

Lou Qi crumpled the document in his hand into a ball, his knuckles turning white from the force.

Does she really not want to see him?

"She's been with your company for so long and has never been on a business trip before, why is she suddenly going on one?" Lou Qi asked. "What does Wen Yan mean by this?"

Why is everyone putting the blame on his wife?

Gu Yanci's tone was unpleasant: "Jiang Xing volunteered. As for why she volunteered, guess?"

Lou Qi was so angered by Gu Yanci's retort that he almost couldn't catch his breath. His body hadn't fully recovered yet, and the sudden pain caused him to cough violently.

Gao Zhu glanced at Gu Yanci, who was deliberately causing trouble, but didn't dare to say a word of reproach. He could only accept his fate as a poor, unfortunate worker.

Jiang Xing returned to China a month later.

This time, my colleagues from the M&A team returned triumphantly with the contract, and senior executives from the legal department and several business departments threw us a celebration banquet.

"This time, Lawyer Jiang put in a lot of effort. The other side thought we didn't understand German and secretly set a trap for us. Luckily, Lawyer Jiang understood!"

"Jiang Lu's professional knowledge is really strong. These days, he's also the team's most hardworking and efficient writer! Jiang Lu, I used to think you were just a pretty face with a high-achieving background. My apologies!"

Jiang Xing smiled as she accepted everyone's congratulations and goodwill, but a closer look would reveal that there was hardly any joy in her eyes.

It was as if none of these things aroused any interest in her.

"You guys were gone this month, we missed so much juicy gossip!" Someone suddenly changed the subject, "You all know about President Lou, our President Gu's good friend, right?"

Jiang Xing paused unconsciously as he drank.

"Last week, Boss Lou attended several events with a popular young actress. The actress's fans were saying that she was about to marry into a wealthy family. But this week, Boss Lou was seen with a wealthy heiress! That socialite even came to our company with Boss Lou!"

Jiang Xing paused for a few seconds, then smiled knowingly, concealing the fleeting sadness that crossed his face.

This is how Lou Qi should be; he wouldn't stop for any woman.

Changing it every week, it seems like it's time to get back to a normal routine.

"Jiang Lu, what are you laughing at?" After asking, her colleague suddenly seemed to remember something and inquired with a grin, "You're familiar with the president's wife, have you heard any gossip about President Lou? I heard before that President Lou had a girlfriend he really liked, they dated for quite a while, but they broke up recently for some reason. Have you heard about it?"

Your girlfriend of quite a while, you broke up with her recently? Isn't that her?

Jiang Xing blinked, wondering why she had gone from being a bystander to being involved in the situation.

"Um, I'm not sure." After saying that, he realized his words weren't very credible, so he just made something up, "His ex-girlfriend... her family background wasn't as good as a socialite's, and she wasn't as good-looking as a celebrity, so maybe she just didn't like him?"

A familiar male voice suddenly rang out: "Is that so?"
