“Go and check whom Jiang Jingcheng is mostly close to. Hurry up. You’d better give me the answer within a day, or I’ll only pay you half.”
Chen Qian stood on the balcony, looking down. There was a continuous flow of people and cars on the street.
“No problem.”
Chen Qian had already known that Jiang Jingcheng was not reliable. He always complained, left things unfinished, had no perseverance, and easily gave up when encountering a little frustration. For these reasons, she didn’t take a fancy to him at the beginning. If it hadn’t been for his help, she would never have seen him.
Looking at the blue sky and pure clouds outside the window, Chen Qian felt more relieved.
Back to the living room, Chen Qian asked maid to bring her a bottle of red wine that had been treasured for many years, and sipped wine. There would be a good show waiting for her. She was the audience. She would applaud the show when it came to climax.
Chen Qian couldn’t wait for the show to start. She was imagining her future life with Mo Yichen and Xiangyan. They went to the beach together, watched movie together, had dinner together. This was the life that she always longed for.
A woman always dreamed of marrying a good man, while for a man, besides his beloved woman, he also desired power, career and other stuff.
She was about to drink when her phone rang…
“Hello…”
“Ms. Chen. I find that Jiang Jingcheng is extremely close to the assistant of Gu Yan. They often show up in pairs. It’s said that they have been together.”
“The assistant of Gu Yan?” Chen Qian was a little surprised.
“Yes. That woman went after the man. They are loving couple now. I have sent to you the personal information of Gu Yan’s assistant.” said the man with a low voice. His tone showed that he had been in the business for years.
“Well done. I will transfer money to your account soon.” Chen Qian was arrogant, with sullen eyes. Then she gave an evil smile, which was frightening.
Jiang Jingcheng had a new sweetheart. It was no wonder that he was unwilling to help her. There was not any good man in the world. They were capricious. Chen Qian sneered. She disdained all the men in the world, except Mo Yichen. Maybe it was because his undivided love for Gu Yan that she loved him more deeply and deemed that he was irreplaceable.
Nothing could stop her to go after Mo Yichen. She would never stop as long as she was alive…
Soon, a plan occurred to her. Undeniably, she was a clever girl. However, it was a pity that she used her cleverness in a wrong place. She spent her whole life on the pursuit of love.
She sent a message to Jiang Jingcheng by phone, “Wait for me after work tomorrow night. I have something important. Please be sure to show up.”
…
Assistant Liu knew that Jiang Jingcheng just talked with a girl on the phone. He obviously told lies. He said the girl was one of his colleagues. In fact it was his beloved woman. She felt upset.
She had to pretend to be happy. She suddenly felt it was hard to be a girl. She knew that he didn’t really like her, but she just couldn’t let him go, and had to fake her feelings.
Hanging up the phone, Jiang Jingcheng came to Assistant Liu, smiling.
“You look so beautiful in this dress.” Jiang Jingcheng pretended to flirt with her, but in his heart nothing was different from before.
“I think so. But the color is too bright and shining, a kind of showy.” said Assistant Liu softly, looking at the dress.
“Let’s go somewhere else if you don’t like…” Jiang Jingcheng said listlessly. It was torture for him to accompany someone he did not like. Any minute seemed like a waste of time.
Assistant Liu changed the dress reluctantly. She said that because she didn’t want Jiang Jingcheng to spend money for her. However, he failed to capture her subtle expression, and even didn’t look straight to her.
Assistant Liu felt a little disappointment after walking out of the store. She just held his hand and walk silently.
“Wait, I have something to deal with. Buy whatever you like.” Jiang Jingcheng suddenly stopped, pulled back Assistant Liu, and handed a card to Assistant Liu.
“What do you mean?”
Assistant Liu frowned, confused.
“You can buy anything you like. Now I have to go and deal with some urgent thing.” Jiang Jingcheng gazed at Assistant Liu affectionately.
“I ask you to go shopping with me, but I don’t mean to spend your money.” Assistant Liu held hands of Jiang Jingcheng tightly, unwilling to let him go.
“Don’t be silly. I certainly know it, but now I have urgent thing. Don’t you want to go shopping? Go and buy anything you like.”
Assistant Liu refused to loosen his hands. Jiang Jingcheng felt sorry for her. However, he could do nothing. He hoped she could understand that their relationship was doomed to have no good result.
“I don’t want you to leave. We finally managed to come out together. What I want is not to go shopping, but to spend time with you. I don’t care your money. I care about you. Don’t leave, please.”
Assistant Liu, with tears in her eyes, tightly held Jiang Jingcheng’s hands, which made Jiang Jingcheng uncomfortable. She pulled Jiang Jingcheng forward with all her strength.
Jiang Jingcheng was indifferent and didn’t change his mind.
He dragged her into his arm, patted her shoulder, and kissed on her forehead to comfort her.
“Be a good girl. I really have something urgent. Take a rain check. I will accompany you to do whatever you want. But now, I really have to go. Enough!”
Jiang Jingcheng shook off Assistant Liu’s hands, and left without any hesitation.
She stood there still, and felt at a loss. She had thought Jiang Jingcheng really liked her. But what now? It was obvious that he fancied another woman. He flirted and stuck with that woman. She was unclear what their true relationship was on earth.
Looking at the back of Jiang Jingcheng, Assistant Liu felt her heart was bleeding…
