The empty wind rushed into the dark room from the door and out of the half-open window.
There was no one else in the house except for Jiang Yansheng, who was leaning against the door frame with a pale face.
Fu Minglang's lips moved, and his face instantly turned pale.
"How could this be? Is … Is she really gone? "
Jiang Yansheng looked at the man with an unfamiliar sense of panic and sorrow in his eyes. She couldn't continue with the sarcasm on her lips, so she only responded with a low "en".
"You're late."
Her words gently knocked against Fu Minglang's heart, causing him to be defeated in an instant. "That's impossible. She was here in the afternoon. I even saw her in the afternoon. I even spoke to her …"
Fu Minglang walked up to Jiang Yansheng and glared at her. "You must know where she went, right?"
Jiang Yansheng sneered. She looked up at the man who was pretending to be fierce without any fear.
"Don't you know it yourself?"
"Why did Zhouzhou leave early? Do you think she wants to see you? She's avoiding you now. Do you understand? "
"I told her to wait for me at noon. I went to buy the necklace that she had always liked. I thought she was still waiting for me here. I came back after I bought it, but I've been waiting downstairs. The lights in the house weren't turned on, and it was always dark … "
Fu Minglang's panic became more and more obvious. The strength in his hand loosened, and something fell crisply to the ground. It rolled backwards twice before stopping.
Jiang Yansheng took a closer look and saw that the neatly tied bow on the small box had fallen apart.
She frowned. "Where did you get the money?"
"I participated in an e-sports competition. The top three will get a prize." Fu Minglang frowned. "I just received the money yesterday, so I came to look for her today."
"An e-sports company sent me an email yesterday asking me to be a backup. They even sent me a contract. I already have money …" He clenched his fists tightly.
Jiang Yansheng's stomach hurt badly. She rubbed her head in annoyance. "What is it? He's not lying to you again, is he? "
Although Yu Zhouzhou had basically broken up with this man, she still admired Fu Minglang's perseverance.
"No way!" Fu Minglang growled and glared at Jiang Yansheng. "Do you really think I'm an idiot?"
Jiang Yansheng pursed his lips speechlessly.
He made it seem as if he wasn't the one who had been tricked into fighting underground and borrowing money from loan sharks.
She stuck a finger in her ear. "Then what's the point of telling me?"
Fu Minglang acted as if he hadn't heard anything. His voice was so low that it sounded like he was climbing up the abyss of hell. He looked at Jiang Yansheng in confusion. "I already have money. Why isn't she willing to see me?"
Jiang Yansheng's stomach was churning. She was in so much pain that her back was breaking out in cold sweat. She didn't even want to give Fu Minglang a good look now. She only said coldly, "Can you get lost?"
The further the better.
She reached out and pushed Fu Minglang. This man had been making a lot of noise in her house.
Fu Minglang staggered out of the door and looked at Jiang Yansheng in disbelief. After being yelled at by her, the man's eyes had turned red.
"What are you doing?"
"What am I doing?" Jiang Yansheng smiled sarcastically. She held the door frame with one hand and said, "I was going to ask you what are you doing. If you want to cry, cry on your own. Don't cry in my house. "
He saw Jiang Yansheng put on a sad look and hurriedly picked up the box that had been scattered on the ground and held it tightly in his hand.
"I'm telling you for the last time. Yu Zhouzhou has left. You have nothing to do with me. Don't come to my house again."
After Jiang Yansheng said that, he clapped his hands and closed the door with a bang.
Fu Minglang, who was at the door, had his nose less than a centimeter away from the cold door. The wind from the door was like a slap on his face, but the man didn't seem to feel it at all.
He squatted down at the door, put his face between his knees, and took out a phone with a broken screen from his pocket.
The phone's sensitivity was not high, and it took two presses to respond to a command.
He clicked on a number that he had already memorized in his heart. He dialed it with trembling fingers, but all he got was a long busy tone.
No one picked up.
Fu Minglang was stunned for a long time. His voice was muffled as he spoke to the wall, "Did she … Did she give up on me?"
He held the phone tightly in his hand and buried his face in his knees.
Through a door that was not very soundproof, Jiang Yansheng couldn't see Fu Minglang through the peephole, but she could hear his heartbreak.
She entered the living room and saw a note left by Yu Zhouzhou on the table.
The handwriting on the paper was as smooth as if it had been touched by the sun. However, the things that Yu Zhouzhou did were starting to be out of place recently.
For example, he had really forced Fu Minglang into a dead end.
She sat at the table and put the cake that she had specially bought for Yu Zhouzhou as a farewell gift.
No one at home had eaten it. Jiang Yansheng opened it, took a look, and put it in the fridge.
She poured a glass of hot water and took three times the usual dose of painkillers before going to bed uncomfortably.
…
She didn't know when Fu Minglang had left, but when Jiang Yansheng went out to throw the garbage the next day, there was no one at the door, not even a trace of Fu Minglang's presence was left.
When Jiang Yansheng went out, she brought all the documents related to Jiang Yaru and Shen Lu, ready to throw them directly to Jiang Chu at the board meeting today.
Unexpectedly, when she arrived at the company early, she was told that the board meeting was suspended for a day.
"Director Jiang, I just got the news." The assistant was scared by her gloomy face, and the back of her hands holding the documents turned pale.
Jiang Yansheng glanced at her. "It's okay, I'll go up later. You can go back first."
As soon as the assistant left, the door was pushed open.
"Yansheng, I've got everything you wanted." The man who pushed the door open had an insincere smile on his face. When he felt the low pressure around Jiang Yansheng, he even trembled.
Jiang Yansheng looked at his timid appearance and sneered. "Second Uncle, what's wrong? Don't you want to sit here? I'm not going to eat you. "
Second Uncle smiled sheepishly and slumped back into his chair like a boneless man. He pushed a document in his hand forward.
"This is what we agreed on before. I've also marked the price of the shares …" He showed a few teeth, and his eyes disappeared from his smile. "Yansheng, come and take a look."
Jiang Yansheng held the contract and pulled it in front of him. He roughly flipped through it and asked casually, "Second Uncle, do you know why our company's board meeting is not held today?"
Second Uncle felt that the atmosphere was quite relaxed, and he happily crossed his legs. "I know. Isn't it because your father's new woman is going to have her birthday? She's just in time to be discharged. I heard that your father is going to buy her something later … "
"Bang!" Jiang Yansheng slammed the table hard, and Second Uncle was so scared that he jumped up.
Second Uncle looked at Jiang Yansheng suspiciously. "What … What's wrong?"
Previously, Jiang Chu's eldest daughter didn't look like someone with mental problems. Why was she getting weirder and weirder recently?
Jiang Yansheng smiled at him calmly. "It's nothing. There was a small bug on the table just now, so I patted it."
"Oh," Second Uncle replied fearfully and sat back down.
He looked at Jiang Yansheng anxiously. "Yansheng, there shouldn't be any problems with this contract, right? Second Uncle has already shown it to the lawyer several times before I brought it to you … "
"It's not up to me to decide whether there's a problem or not." Jiang Yansheng interrupted him and glanced at him indifferently. She opened the drawer, and the document disappeared from the table. She looked at Second Uncle seriously. "I'll show it to my lawyer later. When he says there's no problem, we can sign it."
She nodded at the office door behind her.
"Now, Second Uncle has nothing to do at the company anyway. Why don't you go home? You can still sleep."
Second Uncle stood up awkwardly after hearing what Jiang Yansheng said, and his expression didn't look too good.
His lips moved, and he wanted to say something to Jiang Yansheng, but in the end, he could only force out an ugly smile. He closed the door and left.
Sitting in front of the table, Jiang Yansheng suppressed her emotions and took a deep breath. She couldn't help but curse.
Right now, her mind was not thinking about the shares that she had been longing to get from Second Uncle, nor was it thinking about the investigation report that she had brought to argue with Jiang Chu. She just wanted to rush to the office on the top floor.
Jiang Yansheng pushed open Jiang Chu's door fiercely. His anger rose from the soles of his feet to his head.
"What's going on?" Jiang Chu, who was in a good mood, immediately frowned when he saw Jiang Yansheng barging in so rudely. "Jiang Yansheng, what are you doing now?"
Jiang Yansheng looked up at him and smiled mockingly.
Now, when he saw her, he directly called her by her full name.
People who didn't know better wouldn't be able to tell that they were related by blood at all.
She walked up to Jiang Chu with a sneer and said clearly, "Dad."
Jiang Chu knocked the back cover of the expensive pen in his hand heavily on the table. He looked at Jiang Yansheng with an indescribable look in his eyes. "What? I remember that the deadline I gave you is almost up. "
"Can't you find anything? If you can't find anything, you have to fulfill the original agreement and pack up … "
"Can't find anything?" Jiang Yansheng interrupted him and took it as a joke. "Don't you believe in my ability? I actually found it a few days ago. "
"But you're not young anymore. I don't know if your heart can take it."
"You!" Jiang Chu was suddenly angry. He was so angry at Jiang Yansheng that he couldn't breathe for a long time. "How can you say that?"
