Jeremy Xie felt that Ella Jiang's behavior today was a little strange. She had always been dignified and steady, but today she looked a little flustered, which aroused Jeremy Xie's curiosity. What could make the fearless Ella Jiang so nervous.
"There is nothing important in the company. I'm still worried about you." As Jeremy Xie spoke, he strolled around in the living room and looked around. "There are a lot of delicious food in the kitchen. Is there any distinguished guest coming?" Then he gave Ella Jiang a meaningful smile.
"Ah... Yes, what a coincidence," Ella Jiang stammered. "But my mother-in-law is coming today. What a coincidence!"
"Then Auntie may not mind having dinner with her daughter-in-law's company leaders." Looking at the anxious look on Ella Jiang's face, Jeremy Xie suddenly felt interesting.
"Well... Of course she won't mind. But you are so busy with your work. You'd better not waste so much time here..."
Jeremy Xie thought it was better not to make fun of her any more. "Well, since you look so energetic now, I'd better leave first."
Ella Jiang breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, Snow's voice came from the yard, "Mrs. ! Old lady and master are back!"
Ella Jiang felt that the God of destiny would not let her have a good result.
As soon as Edmend Qin entered the door, he saw the woman and a strange man walk out of the living room. he immediately felt uncomfortable. How could she bring a man back when he was not at home! And this man was so handsome!
"Who are you? Who asked you to come in?" Edmend Qin asked in a muffled voice.
Jeremy Xie smiled and walked up to Auntie Qin. "Nice to meet you, auntie. I'm the leader of Ella Jiang's company, Jeremy Xie. Miss Jiang has asked for a leave today, so she wants to see what happened. If there's nothing else, I'll go first."
Mrs. Qin was also confused in advance. After hearing the introduction, she immediately felt relieved. "Oh, you are the leader of Ella's company. Thank you for your concern. It's late now. Mr. Xie hasn't had dinner yet, right? Please stay and have dinner with us. Snow, bring us some bowls and chopsticks." Snow nodded and left.
Ella Jiang glanced at the sullen look on her face. When she was about to say something, she was stopped by Jeremy Xie, "aunt, it's hard to refuse your kindness. Then I won't be courteous. Please come in."
Holding Ella Jiang's hand, Mrs. Qin said all the way, "Ella, I support you when you go out to work, but don't tire yourself out because of work. Mr. Xie is also a well-educated and reasonable person, unlike my son Edmend Qin." she glanced at Edmend Qin beside her and said, "you're so ungrateful."
"I'm flattered. Mr. Qin must have some inconvenience." Said Jeremy Xie.
When they entered the living room, Snow hurriedly brought a plate of fruit and said, "Mrs. Si, Mr. Xie, please wait in the living room. The dining room is preparing lunch. It will be ready soon."
Mrs. Qin motioned for Mr. Xie to sit down and have a talk. Jeremy Xie didn't refuse. he picked up a small apple and ate it. During the whole process, Ella Jiang saw that Edmend Qin's face darkened in silence.
"What does Mr. Xie do?" Palema asked.
"I own a small design company, which is just starting."
"It turns out that you started your own business. You are so capable at such a young age. It's really rare." Pamela's face was full of praise. It seemed that she had a good impression of Mr. Xie. "You are also very considerate to your subordinates. This kind of humane management is rare now. Presumably, the employees work very hard."
Jeremy Xie smiled, "not bad. The scale of the company is small, and we have to find some ways to attract people. If an excellent designer like Miss Jiang is lost to another company, it will be a great loss, won't it?"
"Mr. Xie, you are so honest. You said it frankly." Palema smiled too.
"Yes, boss is good at business and personnel management." Ella Jiang added.
Edmend Qin snorted, "it's just a small company. I don't know how long it can run."
For a moment, all the people present were a little embarrassed except Jeremy Xie.
"Of course, people like us who start their own business can't compare with those who work hard for their father." Jeremy Xie said indifferently and took a bite of the apple.
Standing aside, Ella Jiang felt the smell of gunpowder getting stronger and stronger. Edmend Qin seemed to be about to hit someone, so she hurried out to mediate. "Aunt Qin, the lunch should be ready. Let's go to the restaurant for lunch." Then he held Belinda's hand.
Mrs. Qin also felt that the atmosphere was not right, so she stood up and said, "Mr. Xie, please come to the dining room for dinner." Jeremy Xie also stood up and said, "Okay, thank you for your hospitality."
After the embarrassment just now, the conversation at the table became much less. Ella Jiang was busy picking up food for palema. On the one hand, she was worried that Edmend Qin would do something bad to her afterwards. On the other hand, she blamed palema for not saying that she was sick. But she didn't expect that the company's policy of caring for her subordinates was so good.
After the dinner, Jeremy Xie finally knew what to do. Only the Qin financial group could afford such a villa. Judging from the fact that she had just called Ella Jiang Mrs. Qin, she hadn't changed her address. She guessed that Ella Jiang and her husband Edmend Qin hadn't spoken a word since they entered the house. It could be seen how bad the relationship between the two was. Thinking of this, Jeremy Xie felt much more relaxed. As for the reason, he didn't know.
Except for Jeremy Xie, the unpleasant dinner ended in half silence.
Jeremy Xie stood up and said goodbye to palema and Ella Jiang. Ella Jiang felt that she hadn't been so embarrassed for a long time. Seeing that Jeremy Xie was leaving, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Edmend Qin said coldly, "I'm sorry not to send you off."
Jeremy Xie didn't want to spare him, "no,save your steps." Then he turned around and left.
It was not until then that Ella Jiang realized how eloquent Jeremy Xie was. Looking at Edmend Qin's black face, she finally couldn't help laughing.
Seeing that Edmend Qin went upstairs angrily, palema sat down and had a chat with Ella Jiang.
"Ella, I also appreciate that women have a job and work hard for the future, so I support you to work outside. But don't worry about money. Ella is not like this usually. She behaves like a devil today, and she looks so impolite in front of the guests. It's really shameful. But I can see that Mr. Xie is a man of great achievement, and you should work well under him Besides, I feel that he looks familiar and seems to have met him somewhere before. "
Ella Jiang cut in, "no way. His company has just started for more than a year. How did you see him?"
"Maybe I remember it wrong." Pamela said thoughtfully.
The sun was setting. Palema was about to leave. Before she left, she repeatedly told Edmend Qin to take good care of Ella Jiang. Or uncle Feng sent someone to drive to the airport.
After sending palema away, Ella Jiang felt relieved. She went back to her bedroom and began her new task of theatre design.
Sitting in the back seat of the car, Edmend Qin looked at the scenery passing by quickly outside and felt very depressed. He didn't expect that a small boss of a small company dared to challenge him. He hadn't been treated like this for a long time. How could he care about the employees and come to his house? Wasn't it because of his impure motive? And he was a little handsome.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. he called Fred, "Fred, check the background of the boss of the company where Ella Jiang works. The sooner, the better. uncle Feng, go to the company. Remember to pick me up tonight."
As soon as Edmend Qin arrived at the company, Fred hurried to his office and handed the information he had just found to Edmend Qin.
Edmend Qin browsed it and frowned.
"This company has just started for more than a year, but it has good performance, and there are some returned customers. The boss of the company is called Jeremy Xie, who is the son of the Xie group. He came back from abroad and started his own business." Fred was sweating all over. He thought he would become a spy if he investigated this and that every day.
"Well, you can leave now." Edmend Qin waved her hand and Fred went to deal with her own business.
Edmend Qin became alert. What did Jeremy Xie like about Ella Jiang? Her talent? What a joke! But as long as he is still in my family, even if I don't like him, it's not his turn! But this woman is really capable. She just went out to work for a short time and was listed as her boss. She is the son of the Xie family. I really underestimated her.
In the past two days, Ella Jiang had switched on the "working mode" again, and often went to bed very late. That night, when she was revising the theatre design drawing, she actually fell asleep unconsciously.
It was already two o'clock in the morning. Edmend Qin got up and went downstairs to get a drink from the fridge, only to find that the light in Ella Jiang's room was still on. He hesitated for a while and decided to have a look.
Edmend Qin opened the door and found that the light was on, but she was asleep, with a design drawing aside. She couldn't help but pick up the drawing and have a look. He found that the design of the theatre was quite ingenious. Although it was unskillful in some details, it was definitely not inferior to other designs. He was talented enough to do this.
Qin had set up a design institute, and there were a lot of talents in it. Edmend Qin liked designing very much, so he was in charge of this department.
Edmend Qin put down the design drawing gently and changed her opinion of this woman.
Perhaps, being liked by the servants also had her advantages. It seemed that she was not so useless. Am I too subjective? Edmend Qin stared at the ceiling, lost in thought.
Soon it was Saturday. Ella Jiang had visited almost half a city's clothing shops all day long and finally picked a white dress at a suitable price. After all, there would be a dinner party in the design field tomorrow night. Even a small party couldn't embarrass the company too much.
When they got home, Ella Jiang specially asked Snow to give her some advice. She put on the white dress and walked out of the bedroom. Snow widened her eyes and shouted, "Cinderella has become a princess! Ah, master has a good taste!" Ella Jiang couldn't help laughing. "Snow, you're exaggerating. Don't lie. I'm going to attend a dinner party tomorrow. If I'm laughed at by others tomorrow, I'll come back and hit you."
Aunt Chen, who was passing by, said, "Mrs., this dress suits you so well. It's so beautiful."
Snow giggled, "even Aunt Chen said so. If you want to hit me, you won't have a chance. Maybe you have to give me a reward."
The two of them burst into laughter.
On the afternoon of the second day, Ella Jiang put on the dress early and wore light makeup. In order to avoid the dress from getting dirty, Snow prepared a windbreaker for Ella Jiang. She specially asked uncle Feng to send it to her, and uncle Feng quickly agreed.
Along the way, uncle Feng couldn't help but praise, "your ladyship is so beautiful today. master, you are so lucky."
After a short while, Jeremy Xie arrived at the company. He looked at Ella Jiang who was in a formal dress and seemed not to know him at all. A girl in a white dress was pacing back and forth on the steps. She had a high bun on her head and an elegant expression. Her pink and jade features were delicate and beautiful. The decent white dress outlined her beautiful figure. The bowknot on her chest and the bowknot on her hair bun reflected each other, which was simply beautiful.
When Jeremy Xie came to h senses, she couldn't help but whistle to the goddess.
When Ella Jiang saw it was Jeremy Xie, she lifted the hemline of her dress and walked down the stairs cautiously. Jeremy Xie stepped forward and reached out a hand to Ella Jiang, saying, "beautiful goddess, would you like to dance with me?"
Ella Jiang put a hand on Jeremy Xie's hand and replied solemnly, "of course." After a second, she withdrew her hand and said, "I can't walk without high heels today, but to be honest, I'm not good at wearing such shoes. Remember to walk slowly and wait for me."
Jeremy Xie couldn't help laughing and helped the princess open the door.
Ella Jiang was afraid that her dress would be trampled by others, but at the same time, she was also worried that she might miss it. It took her a long time to get in the car.
On the way, Ella Jiang couldn't help but ask, "I don't think it's a problem to dress up like this. To be honest, except for my own wedding, I have never been to such a formal dinner party, although it's not a big one."
Jeremy Xie smiled, "don't worry, your highness. You will be the Pearl of the party today."
The moment Ella Jiang followed Jeremy Xie into the hall, she felt that she had been deceived by Jeremy Xie. It was not a small party! For inexperienced people like her, she could see several famous people in the design field at a glance. They were all big. A big shot. The hall was also luxuriously decorated. Colorful glazed lamps were hung on the ceiling, and the light blue curtain was hanging low. Toasting and toasting were everywhere. People were wearing evening dresses and greeting each other. Waiters were holding trays and flowing in the crowd.
"Wow, this is the society of celebrities." Ella Jiang couldn't help but praise in a low voice. Looking at the admiring look on Ella Jiang's face, Jeremy Xie pulled her straight to the hall.
"Mr. Xie, nice to meet you!" a few steps later, someone came up to accost him. When Ella Jiang saw the person, he was shocked. The person who accosted him was the famous designer, Cloudy Liu!
"Hello, Mr. Liu. I've heard a lot about you," said Jeremy Xie flatly.
"I heard that you have started your own business after studying abroad. Is everything going well?"
"I'm fine. Thank you for taking care of me."
" That's the strength of Mr. Xie. Is this Mrs. Xie? She is so fresh and beautiful."
"I'm sorry. This is not my wife. She is a design talent of my company, miss Ella Jiang."
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Liu. I've heard a lot about you," Ella Jiang greeted politely as she shook hands with Mr. Xie. No wonder such a big party would invite an unknown small company.
"Then let's go first." Jeremy Xie nodded at Cloudy Liu and signaled Ella Jiang to go forward. Along the way, people kept greeting Jeremy Xie. Obviously, Jeremy Xie was very familiar with this kind of social form. She greeted everyone, including many celebrities. Ella Jiang got used to this kind of occasion.
At this time, a man walked towards Ella Jiang with his head down. Ella Jiang looked familiar, but she didn't recognize the man for a moment. The man raised his head and suddenly stopped, looking confused.
Edmend Qin couldn't believe her eyes. Wasn't that woman! Wearing a white dress, Ella Jiang looked very different from her usual neat and efficient appearance. At this moment, she was like a princess in a car. For a moment, Edmend Qin didn't know how to react and was stunned there.
"Why are you here?" Edmend Qin asked.
"Why shouldn't I be here?" Ella Jiang should have guessed why the Qin financial group wouldn't attend such an important occasion?
"Isn't this Mr. Qin? We just met a few days ago." Jeremy Xie walked up to him and said indifferently, "this is the design talent of our company, so I invited her to this dinner party."
It was him again! It was Jeremy Xie again! He brought Ella Jiang here, and no one told him about it! It shouldn't be Jeremy Xie, but his Edmend Qin! If anyone recognized her, how could he face Edmend Qin?
"Ella Jiang, come with me." Edmend Qin was about to pull Ella Jiang.
Ella Jiang stepped back to avoid Edmend Qin. "Why should I go with you?"
For the first time in Edmend Qin, she looked a little anxious; "Because you are my wife!"
Ella Jiang said firmly, "how could I be your wife? On the wedding day, I finished the whole process of the wedding. At that time, why wasn't I your wife? After the wedding, you asked me to do all kinds of servants' work and not touch a swing. How could I be your wife? I'm sorry. I don't know you."
Edmend Qin wanted to say something more, but Jeremy Xie said, "master of the Qin family, this is not the place for you to act wildly. This lady has said that she doesn't know you. Please don't badger her anymore. Please keep your manner."
After saying that, the two of them bypassed Edmend Qin and walked into the hall.
Ella Jiang turned her head and found that Edmend Qin was still standing there, motionless. She was a little regretful, thinking that he might have gone too far just now and that she had behaved a little inappropriate in front of Jeremy Xie. But to be honest, it was also a good thing for her to vent her suppressed emotions these days.
Edmend Qin felt that she had stood there for a long time, so long that he could not feel the passage of time.
He had never known that such a method would cause such a great harm to Ella Jiang. Yes, from the very beginning, his purpose was to hurt her and make her unable to bear to leave by herself. But who would have thought that she would be able to endure it for so long for a promise, which was something that Edmend Qin had never expected. Was he wrong from the very beginning? Was he too cruel?
"Mr. Qin, is there anything wrong?" the waiter noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with Edmend Qin. Edmend Qin took a glass of wine from the tray and drank it up in one breath before feeling better.
"It's okay. Thank you for your wine." Edmend Qin returned the glass to the waiter and slowly walked out of the crowd. 'forget it. We are outside now. There are so many people watching us. I will teach her a lesson when we go home.'.
At this time, the host went on the stage, simply auditioned the sound, and said to all the guests, "dear guests, good evening! This time, I invite all the famous people in the design world to attend the dinner, mainly for a big project - the design of the landmark building of this city."
After that, the host invited an important guest onto the stage. The guest began to tell the purpose, meaning, relevant content and requirements of the construction design of the landmark.
Ella Jiang thanked Jeremy Xie for her invitation. Compared to living a aimless life with money, this level of spirit was what Ella Jiang really longed for.
Ella Jiang listened attentively to the whole introduction, forgetting what had happened just now. It was not until the host said, "now, the dinner begins! Please take your seats and enjoy this wonderful night!" that the whole speech ended in the applause of the guests.
Jeremy Xie trusted Ella Jiang very much, so he took this opportunity to specially bring her here. It was not until what had happened just now that Jeremy Xie realized how much hidden forbearance and unwillingness had been hidden behind her gentle smile all the time.
Such an unruly girl shouldn't have spent her life with an emotionless person like this.
It was already late after the dinner. Ella Jiang seemed very happy. She even drank a little. Her face was a little red, which made her more beautiful in the neon light. Looking at Ella Jiang's sincere smile, Jeremy Xie thought, 'let me make this princess happy forever.'.
Jeremy Xie walked over and said to Ella Jiang, "how about taking a photo here?"
"You're smart!" Ella Jiang seemed to be suddenly enlightened. "It's not in vain for me to come here with a photo."
Jeremy Xie found a passer-by and asked him to take a photo of them at the gate of glory hall. The passer-by agreed with joy.
With a bright smile on her face, Ella Jiang clumsily made a 'V' gesture, and Jeremy Xie stood quietly beside her.
"One or two, three!" the moment the shutter was pressed, Jeremy Xie quickly pressed Ella Jiang's head on his shoulder.
After taking the photos, Jeremy Xie took her phone back from a passer-by. He took a look at the photo and showed a successful expression. Then he set the photo as the background of his mobile phone. Although he was suspected of taking advantage of her, he couldn't care too much. It seemed that Ella Jiang didn't live a good life in the Qin family. Perhaps he still had a chance.
