Chapter 1273: 1272 Jiang Min’s Fiance

Jiang Min furrowed her brow when she heard Tan Rou had arrived, “I have something else to do today, let’s have dinner together some other time.”

Li Li was very good at observing other people’s expressions, and she instantly noticed Jiang Min’s abnormal behavior. Especially after hearing that Tan Rou was also coming, Jiang Min’s face turned very ugly, as if she did not want to meet Tan Rou.

“Senior Jiang, did you have a fight with Tan Rou?” Li Li tentatively asked.

After asking, she suddenly remembered the incident that had occurred at the beginning of the year. TR Company had discussed a project with government departments, and during the installation of equipment, it was discovered that there were problems with the construction of a government building, which was the responsibility of Jiang Min’s family company.

The project was later halted, and the government department sued the Jiang family’s company. It was said that the Jiang family lost a lot of money, and Jiang Min’s uncle was arrested and sentenced to several years.

Could it be that Jiang Min had fallen out with Tan Rou over this matter? But Tan Rou hadn’t mentioned any quarrel between them; she only said that Jiang Min was underutilized at work, and with her capabilities, she could easily achieve high honors in the field of technology.

Moreover, Tan Rou had invited Jiang Min to join her company as a research and development consultant. Initially, Jiang Min seemed to have agreed, but there was no further movement afterward, probably because she didn’t want to work for someone else.

“No,” Jiang Min’s face showed a bitter smile, “How could I possibly quarrel with her? It’s just that I’ve been a bit busy recently and it’s inconvenient to have dinner with you all. I’ll contact you when I’m free.”

Li Li felt that Jiang Min was definitely hiding something from them, but since it was Jiang Min’s own business, there was no need to disclose it, so she did not ask any further, “Okay, then we’ll contact you next time.”

Lan Ning had been observing for a long time. She noticed that the man next to Jiang Min had been silent all this time, so she spoke up, “Senior Jiang, who is this gentleman?”

Jiang Min’s expression became even more bizarre, but she still introduced the man next to her to Li Li and the others, “This is my fiancé, his name is Feng Jiao.”

The man named Feng Jiao immediately stepped forward, smiling and greeting Li Li and the others, “Hello, I’m Feng Jiao, Little Min’s fiancé.”

Li Li was quite focused on appearances, and she looked down on Feng Jiao’s looks from the moment she first saw him. Feng Jiao’s hair was somewhat sparse, his eyes were large but obscured by glasses, making him look foolish. His lips were thick, resembling two small sausages hanging at the side of his mouth, and his skin was rough and pitted.

On hearing that the man was Jiang Min’s fiancé, Li Li and Lan Ning both showed surprised expressions, “Ah?”

Jiang Min, embarrassed by their reaction, said, “We have something to do, so we’ll be leaving now.”

Feng Jiao smiled, “Okay, then we’ll meet up next time.”

Jiang Min frowned and said, “It’s a meeting between them and me, not us.”

But Feng Jiao said, “In the future, we’ll be one family. Your friends are my friends; there’s no need to draw such a clear line.”

Jiang Min clearly disagreed with this statement, “Sorry, we’re not married yet, so please don’t interfere in my life.”

Feng Jiao was also very unhappy with Jiang Min’s attitude, “What do you mean? We’re about to get married soon, and after we’re married, I can’t even inquire about who you’re friends with? If that’s the case, then we might as well not get married.”

Jiang Min clenched her fist, and finally compromised, “Let’s talk about future matters in the future. Let’s not keep people from doing their work right now.”

Feng Jiao nodded, “That’s more like it. Let’s go, let’s walk around the temple.”

Li Li was confused about the interaction pattern between Jiang Min and Feng Jiao. In her memory, Jiang Min was a very decisive and strong woman who had led her research team to win many awards when she was at school.

Yet now, this formidable woman was about to marry a man who was not only unattractive but also disrespectful to her, which Li Li found hard to swallow.

Li Li stopped Jiang Min and Feng Jiao, saying, “Senior Jiang, I’ve been thinking carefully, and today’s opportunity is really rare because not only are the few of us here, but Senior Shang Jin and her boyfriend also came. It’s been such a long time since the two of you met, why not take this chance to have a good gathering.”

Jiang Min hesitated, “I still have something to do today, let’s meet up another time.”
