Putting away her phone, she dialed the internal line to have her assistant prepare the materials for the morning meeting.
Perhaps it was because she had taken on President's anger on behalf of the executives yesterday, the department heads and Director were particularly cooperative during the lengthy morning meeting. After the work arrangements were made, even Liu Xinran, who usually opposed her, didn't say much.
The scene at the airport gradually faded from her mind as she became busy with work. Just before getting off work, she unexpectedly received a call from Lu Manqing.
“Miss Lu, what’s up?” Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, she calmly gazed at the darkening night outside. It was already quite late; she had been busy revising the proposal for the business district.
“Miss Gu, how about I treat you to dinner?” Lu Manqing's gentle voice came through the phone.
“Sorry, I’m not free today!” Although she was quite hungry, having dinner with someone would make it hard for her to eat.
“Is that so? Then how about we grab a cup of coffee instead? I’ll be waiting for you at Blue Rain Cafe. I have some information that you might find very interesting!”
“······” Before she could refuse, Lu Manqing had already hung up, seemingly certain that she would go.
She rubbed her forehead, gathered the materials on her desk, and picked up her bag as she left the office.
Driving through the bustling streets, the dim yellow lights reflected in her vision, making the night even more enchanting.
Her stomach protested, so she decided to find a noodle shop near Blue Rain Cafe and ordered a bowl of noodles to solve her dinner problem.
Since someone was so sure that she would go, she also had enough confidence that she would be waiting for her.
By the time she arrived at Blue Rain Cafe, it was already forty minutes later. After reporting her name to the waiter, she was led to a window seat. She glanced at the impatient woman waiting across from her and sat down sideways.
After ordering a glass of orange juice, she raised an eyebrow at Lu Manqing. "I wonder what Miss Lu wants to discuss with me?"
"I just have something I want to share with Miss Gu." Turning her head, Lu Manqing took an envelope from her bag and handed it over, a smug smile appearing on her charming face. "Open it and take a look."
Green Qi glanced at her lightly, picked up the envelope from the table, and pulled out a stack of photos. The main subjects in the pictures were the woman across from her and her infamous husband.
From playful moments by the seaside to intimate kisses, and then to their blissful smiles, each photo told a story of their sweetness together.
Looking at these photos, she smiled knowingly and raised an eyebrow at the woman across from her who seemed to be declaring war. "Miss Lu, what does this mean?"
"It means nothing much; I just hope you can make way for us. Jiang Shao doesn’t love you at all. Besides, someone of your status doesn’t deserve him. If you have any sense, you should leave him quickly!"
"Oh? I don't deserve Jiang Chengmu? I wonder what position Miss Lu is speaking from when saying such things to me. If these words came from my mouth as the legitimate wife, it would be justified. You are merely a mistress; what right do you have to demand this of me? Just because Jiang Chengmu loves you? If he truly loved you, why did he marry me?"
"He married you only because of Madam Jiang's power. Jiang Shao has always been filial; if it weren't for your appearance, I would have married Jiang Shao long ago. It wouldn't have been your turn to be Mrs. Jiang. Speaking of mistresses, you are the true third party!"
