After seeing the true nature of the woman he had been pursuing, the CEO's wife cried and begged

Chapter 187 Giving Gifts

Hearing Chen Yuanyuan say this, Xu Zirui was at a loss for what to do.

They could only hastily come up with an excuse to get by.

However, Chen Yuanyuan was somewhat dissatisfied after hearing this.

"Cousin, that's your ex-wife. Don't you two ever exchange gifts?"

Chen Yuanyuan looked confused.

This question also deeply affected Xu Zirui.

Upon closer reflection, they indeed never exchanged gifts.

Thinking of this, Xu Zirui felt even more helpless.

"We never gave any gifts."

As soon as Xu Zirui finished speaking, Chen Yuanyuan immediately stepped on the brakes.

The look in his eyes as he looked at Xu Zirui revealed disbelief.

"Cousin, have you never bought him a single gift in all these years of marriage?"

"No wonder you two got divorced. You're such a boring man, you have no sense of romance at all."

After Chen Yuanyuan said that, Xu Zirui didn't know where to look.

He did indeed buy it once, as far as he could remember.

Unfortunately, it was on that one occasion that Jiang Xin disliked him.

Because of this, I haven't bought anything since then.

He still remembers what Jiang Xin said back then.

"I am the eldest daughter of the Jiang family. I have everything I need. Why would I care about your things?"

Jiang Xin's face lingered in Xu Zirui's mind.

Because of this, Xu Zirui never bought any more gifts.

Xu Zirui simply couldn't bring himself to say these things.

Seeing Xu Zirui's appearance, Chen Yuanyuan sighed.

"We still have plenty of time, let me take you to buy a gift first."

When Chen Yuanyuan said this, Xu Zirui instinctively wanted to refuse.

"You're divorced now, so sending a gift is just to ease the awkwardness."

Hearing Chen Yuanyuan's reason, Xu Zirui had no choice but to agree.

Xue Zirui didn't choose any expensive gifts; he just went down to pick out a bouquet from a flower shop he saw by the roadside.

After all, they had to rush to a dinner party, but looking at the bouquet of flowers, Xu Zirui began to worry again.

What if Jiang Xin doesn't like the bouquet of flowers?

For a moment, Xu Zirui lost his way.

Chen Yuanyuan was somewhat surprised to see Xu Zirui's nervous appearance.

"I thought you two had a great relationship. Could it be that, as the rumors on the internet say, your relationship is ruined by a third party?"

"That's why President Jiang took out so much money to make up for you."

Chen Yuanyuan had already imagined a whole drama unfolding in her mind.

Xu Zirui sighed upon hearing this.

Can you trust anything you see online?

"Let's hurry over there."

Xu Zirui made an excuse to change the subject.

Seeing this, Chen Yuanyuan did not ask any further questions.

When the two arrived at the private room, Jiang Xin and Liu Zhenzhen were already waiting.

"I didn't expect Mr. Jiang to arrive so early."

Chen Yuanyuan smiled and quickly stepped forward.

Jiang Xin simply nodded calmly, but her gaze was fixed on Xu Zirui.

Jiang Xin frowned when she saw the bouquet of flowers in Xu Zirui's hand.

Xu Zirui felt a little uneasy under that gaze.

He completely forgot the words he had prepared beforehand.

Chen Yuanyuan, who was standing nearby, smiled when she saw this.

"President Jiang, please don't blame us for arriving so late. My cousin said on the way here that he wanted to bring you a little gift."

Chen Yuanyuan winked at Xu Zirui.

Xu Zirui nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

"I bought this especially for you on my way here."

"I know you like purple wind chimes the most."

After Xue Zirui finished speaking, Jiang Xin's eyes lit up with joy, and then she also revealed a smile.

"It's amazing that you remember it so clearly."

I really like this bouquet of flowers.

Jiang Xin smiled faintly; these words were also unexpected by Xu Zirui.

However, Xu Zirui quickly calmed down.

After they were seated, they began discussing cooperation.

Xu Zirui wasn't involved in this part; he simply ate his meal quietly on the side.

Liu Zhenzhen sighed helplessly after seeing this scene.

"Dr. Xu, how did you meet your cousin? I've never heard you mention her before."

After those words were spoken, the group of people who were discussing the collaborative project stopped.

Jiang Xin, in particular, felt increasingly confused.

Upon hearing this, Xu Zirui did not hide anything.

"My mom introduced us; my cousin and I hadn't met much before."

As soon as Xu Zirui finished speaking, Jiang Xin immediately thought of blind dates.

Seeing the change in Jiang Xin's expression, Chen Yuanyuan immediately offered an explanation.

"President Jiang, this is actually a misunderstanding."

"I just didn't want to miss this opportunity, so I asked my elders at home for help."

"Besides, why would I have any feelings for my cousin? We've never even met before."

Chen Yuanyuan readily admitted it, and Jiang Xin didn't think much of it.

But I do think Chen Yuanyuan has some discernment.

"I was just curious, I didn't think much of it."

"Ms. Chen is a capable person, and our Jiang Group looks forward to cooperating with you."

Jiang Xin raised her glass, and Chen Yuanyuan agreed.

Xu Zirui, in a daze, also drank a glass of wine.

I was also somewhat surprised.

Do friendships between women develop so quickly?

After a few rounds of drinks, Liu Zhenzhen and Chen Yuanyuan each made an excuse to leave.

Xu Zirui glanced at Jiang Xin.

"Dr. Xu, I have followed your medical advice exactly."

"I only had one cup today."

"Your cousin is quite interesting; you should learn more from her."

Jiang Xin smiled, while Xue Zirui slightly pursed his lips.

"If it weren't for me, you wouldn't even have met her."

Xu Zirui complained, but then he saw Jiang Xin walking towards him.

Xue Zirui tensed up immediately.

Why are you so nervous? Do you think I'm going to eat you?

Jiang Xin chuckled as she looked at Xu Zirui, whose forehead was covered in sweat.

Upon hearing this, Xu Zirui gave an awkward laugh.

His concern was that Jiang Xin might act out while drunk.

Jiang Xin sighed softly.

Do you know what Zhang Lingling has been up to lately?

Seeing Jiang Xin suddenly sit back down and talk about Zhang Lingling, Xu Zirui became a little curious.

He hadn't paid any attention to these things since he was rescued.

"The Zhang family must already know about her situation, and they probably won't let her off easily."

"Moreover, Zhang Shengtian will definitely not let this matter get out; he must have kept an eye on the person."

After Xu Zirui said that, Jiang Xin nodded in agreement.

"You were absolutely right. Now you do understand some of the ways of the wealthy."

"After learning about this, Zhang Shengtian immediately sent Zhang Lingling abroad."

"This is also the most appropriate way for the Zhang family to handle this."

After Jiang Xin finished speaking, Xue Zirui sighed regretfully.

"You have no grudge against Miss Zhang, so why go to such lengths?"

This is what Xu Zirui can't understand the most.

It's astonishing that someone of Zhang Lingling's status would do something like this.
