Chapter 7

Yan Xia was waiting for the elevator with a paper box in her arms. When the elevator door opened, it was Jiang Huai.

Yan Xia saw the elevator coming down from upstairs and guessed that Jiang Huai must have gone to an emergency meeting. Then, she noticed that he had changed into a suit that she had never seen before.

Jiang Huai was 1.9 meters tall and very handsome. He was on par with the young hunks. The Jiang family’s upbringing made him pay attention to his image at all times. It seemed that he didn’t have time to go home and change, so he’d gone the mall to buy a set of clothes.

Jiang Huai saw that Yan Xia was still standing at the door and didn’t come in. He couldn’t help but frown, and his tone became colder.

“What are you standing there for? Come in and don’t waste my time!”

Yan Xia snapped back to reality.

Recalling the awkwardness from last night, she mustered her courage and walked into the elevator. She obediently stood one step behind Jiang Huai.

Jiang Huai was unhappy. Was this woman avoiding him?

“Mother said that she wants us to go home for dinner,” Yan Xia said carefully.

Jiang Huai took his hand out of his pocket, turned to Yan Xia, and pressed her against the elevator wall.

Yan Xia was caught off guard by his sudden action and lost her grip on the box. The box fell to the ground and its contents scattered.

“I only didn’t go home for one night, and my obedient wife went to complain to Mother?”

“I didn’t,” Yan Xia explained, feeling wronged.

“I did it so you could become the financial director of the new company. Are you dissatisfied?” Jiang Huai’s eyes were sharp, as if he could swallow Yan Xia alive at any moment.

Yan Xia did not back down. She raised her head and met his gaze. “Promotion is a good thing. Why would I be unhappy?”

Jiang Huai used his other hand to lift Yan Xia’s chin. “It’s a grievance that you can’t be by my side. You can’t be loved by me anytime, anywhere.”

Jiang Huai’s words were sharp and piercing.

Yan Xia ignored the insulting words and glanced at the number on the elevator. “We’re on the first floor, Mr. Jiang.”

Jiang Huai didn’t even look at her as he turned around and walked out of the elevator.

He couldn’t tell what kind of tacit understanding the two of them had developed over the past three years.

Once Jiang Huai was angry, Yan Xia would be in the wrong no matter what she did. His gentlemanly and elegant demeanor to the outside world was fake. The only real thing was that he was angry with Yan Xia.

Jiang Huai hurt her without a care and used all the words he could think of to hurt her like she was being stripped of her clothes and bones. Then, he would leave in a cool manner, leaving her all alone and in a sorry state.

Yan Xia felt helpless. It had become a habit after so many years. It seemed that only this kind of embarrassment was real, and she had learned how to face such embarrassment a long time ago.

To prevent herself from being exposed, Yan Xia could only squat down and pick up the things with her back facing the elevator door.

Just as the elevator door was about to close, a person appeared at the right time and helped her press the elevator button.

Yan Xia stood up to thank him and walked out of the elevator elegantly. She did not look as disheveled as she did when she was picking up the items earlier.

She did not expect the man to catch up with her and walk side by side with her.

“Miss, I’m new here. The company is too big, so I’m a little lost. Can you show me the way?”

Yan Xia stopped and looked at the boy in the cap. “Where are you going to report?”

The boy smiled brightly, revealing a row of neat teeth, which made people feel better.

“Sunny Management Company.”

Wasn’t this a coincidence?

Yan Xia continued to walk forward. “Alright, follow me then.”

The Jiang Corporation was very big and had many subsidiaries. However, for the convenience of management, the Jiang Corporation booked the entire park area, and Sunny Management Company was in a newly built building next to the original company.

The building wasn’t very high, only having three floors.

However, the design was very modern. All the floor-to-ceiling windows made the whole building look like a glass room with good lighting.

Yan Xia’s office was on the third floor.

Even though it was smaller than her previous office, it was brighter and made her feel good.

To her surprise, there was a massage chair in the office.

The work was so intense that Yan Xia’s body ached from time to time. The massage chair was so considerate.

Yan Xia had just put down the cardboard box. Before she could sit down, she picked up the artistes’ information on the table.

The first one was Zhang Ying’s information.

She had indeed returned to China.

Yan Xia recalled the information she had looked up on her phone when she returned home last night.

She was a fashionista in the foreign media’s eyes, a new red carpet star, a high-class oriental face, and a talented pianist.

All kinds of gorgeous words wrapped around Zhang Ying, and she was as dazzling as the stars in the sky.

In contrast, Yan Xia was nothing more than dust.
