"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.
As soon as Jeremy Xie opened the door, Ella Jiang carefully lifted the hemline of her dress and got into the car. Not long after, the car had stopped at the gate of the villa.
"Here we are, boss. Thank you so much for inviting me to such a luxurious wedding today." Ella Jiang's drunkenness seemed to have faded away.
"You're welcome. To some extent, you've earned this opportunity by yourself," Jeremy Xie said with a smile. Then she got out of the car and opened the door for Ella Jiang, taking the windbreaker from her hand.
Ella Jiang took off her high-heeled shoes and jumped out of the car with bare feet while holding the hemline of her dress, which seemed to be a burden to her. She shouted happily, "my feet are finally free!"
With the help of Jeremy Xie, she gently put on the wind coat for Ella Jiang, and then walked to the door and rang the doorbell.
"Mrs., you're back!" Snow ran out to welcome her. "Thank you, boss. Thank you for sending Mrs. back."
"It's my pleasure. Take good care of your lady. I won't bother you anymore," Jeremy Xie replied with a smile.
"You know what kind of person our master is. I won't keep you." Snow said politely.
The two of them had been watching Jeremy Xie's car turn the street before they went back, talking and laughing.
And all this was seen by Edmend Qin in the distance.
In the car, Edmend Qin looked at the young master of the Xie clan, Ella Jiang and Snow. For a moment, he felt as if the owner of the villa was not him, but Jeremy Xie. Everything seemed so harmonious. He saw them greeting happily and chatting with each other.
He saw Jeremy Xie put on the windbreaker for the young master of the Xie clan, watching the young master of the Xie clan run out to welcome them, and watching them watching the disappearing, he could only sit quietly in the car, like an irrelevant bystander, to witness all this.
Once upon a time, he was also the protagonist in other people's lives, and there was a small world in his own life. But after Dreame left, his small world disappeared, and his dreamy life was instantly destroyed. Now he only had nostalgia and a mechanical life, and he no longer dared to dream of a beautiful dream.
Edmend Qin started the car in a daze. uncle Feng was still waiting for him at the gate of the villa. After getting off the car, uncle Feng seemed to want to help him up. He waved his hand and staggered into the yard, passed through the hall, went upstairs, and returned to the bedroom. He didn't want to think about anything. He was really tired after a night.
The second day when he woke up, the sun was high in the sky. Edmend Qin felt a splitting headache and the sun was shining brightly in his eyes. he stood up and washed face. Then he vaguely remembered what happened at the dinner party yesterday. he looked at her watch. It was obviously too late to go to the company in the morning. he had always been regarded as a workaholic, but for the first time in several years, he didn't go to work.
Edmend Qin staggered downstairs, planning to have a good lunch. Seeing Edmend Qin, Aunt Chen and Snow quickly put the dishes they had prepared on the table.
Edmend Qin ate lunch in silence. After a while, he suddenly said, "uncle Feng!"
"master, what can I do for you?" uncle Feng asked respectfully.
"Has Ella Jiang cleaned the first floor as I said?"
"Yes. From the day you said, she had been cleaning every morning. And she got up earlier than before. she didn't delay the whole day."
There was a moment of silence.
"Tell her not to do the cleaning in the future. Thank you for your hard work."
"Okay, I will inform madam. It's our duty."
"Okay, it's all right." Edmend Qin continued to have lunch in silence.
Near noon, Fred received a document with the title of "a design of a landmark of a city". Then he walked towards Jeremy Xie's office with the document.
Fred knocked on the door twice, but there was no response. He gently pushed the door and found that it was open. He walked in and put the documents on the desk. At this time, a message came from the phone on his desk. Fred glanced at it casually and found something important!
The background of the phone was a photo of the boss and Ella Jiang! She was wearing a dress!
After closing the door, Fred took out his phone and took a picture of the background of the phone.
Then he walked out of the office quietly.
Soon, the whole company was about to explode.
Everyone in the company was secretly passing on the photo. During the meal, dozens of people were talking about this photo.
"Ella Jiang, you're awesome. You've got your dream lover so soon."
"In fact, a talented and good-looking person like Ella Jiang is a perfect match for a prince charming."
"I'm an old employee. It's the first time that my boss has an affair."
"Where are we? Why are you still wearing a dress?"
"No, no, No. It's said that there was a banquet in the design field last night. I guess the boss has also invited her."
"Sure enough, it's not an ordinary one. It's also set as a wallpaper. Obviously, I'm not afraid to tell you!"
The group of people kept gossiping.
However, there was one person in the crowd, with hatred in his eyes.
That was Kacy.
It had been more than half a year since Kacy came to the company. She had always admired Jeremy Xie, which was obvious to almost everyone in the company. However, no matter how hard Kacy tried to express, no matter how hard she tried, she always prevaricated with "no time" no matter how hard she tried. Now, a woman who had been working in the company for less than two months had a photo taken in such a short time and was even set as a wallpaper, which was unbearable for Kacy.
When no one noticed, Kacy walked to the desk of Ella Jiang and took out the theatre design drawing on it. She took it to the bathroom, tore it into pieces and threw it into the trash can.
Kacy snorted and said, "Ella Jiang, submit the drawing tomorrow. I'll see what you can do.".
After lunch, Ella Jiang returned to the company. From a distance, she saw a group of people gathering around and chatting happily. But when she took a few steps forward, she suddenly stopped talking and scattered like a bird or a beast.
Ella Jiang was confused, but she didn't think too much. She walked to her desk and sat down, but she couldn't find the design drawing.
"Have you seen the design drawing on my desk?" Ella Jiang stood up and asked.
Everyone was shocked and knew the importance of the theatre design drawing, which was to be handed in tomorrow.
Several people came over one after another to help look for her.
However, she couldn't find it after searching for a while.
At this time, Jeremy Xie also came over and asked, "what are you doing together? Aren't you going to work?"
Ella Jiang said, "my design drawing disappeared during a meal. Everyone helped me look for it for a long time, but I still couldn't find it."
At this time, a voice came from the direction of the bathroom, "the design drawing is here, but it is torn up!"
Upon hearing this, everyone went to the bathroom.
Someone picked up the pieces of paper in the basket and saw the torn design drawing of the theatre.
Whispers came from the crowd.
"Who did it? It's too much!"
"If we find out this kind of person, we should fire him!"
"It must be someone who has a grudge against Jared."
"Who could it be?"
Jeremy Xie only asked, "is there any backup?"
"Besides, I have saved a copy of the U disk." Ella Jiang replied.
"That's all right. Let's go. Submit this design first and then talk about it later." After saying that, Jeremy Xie went back to her office.
Hearing what the boss said, everyone dispersed their work.
Kacy's plot didn't work. She was a little dissatisfied, but she believed that no one would see it and there would be no problem.
Jeremy Xie went back to his office and asked Fred to bring the surveillance video.
Although Fred thought he had made a fuss, he still acted like a boss. Without answering, he left.
Soon, the surveillance video was brought over.
After watching the video, he understood everything. However, he found a problem. "Fred, did you come to my office for lunch?"
"Yes, a document is on your desk. I put it on the table when you were not there."
"Why did you close the door of my office?"
"Yes, I want to see what is written in the design, so I closed the door." Fred felt cold sweat began to break out on his back.
Jeremy Xie cast a suspicious glance at Fred, flipped through the files and said, "go ahead with your work. If you want to see the files in the future, just tell me. As for the surveillance video, I'll solve it myself. You don't have to worry about it."
"Okay, boss. I'll go now." Fred wiped the sweat off his forehead as he walked out. He didn't dare to do such a thing again. Once he found out, he would be in trouble.
Jeremy Xie was also thinking about how to deal with this matter. There was no doubt that it was Kacy who had done it. Logically speaking, it was not too much to fire her. But after all, she had not been here for a long time and had made a lot of contributions to the company. he could only wait for a few days before the news was spread.
Ella Jiang handed over the newly printed design drawing and a design manual. When she finished the work, it was already eight o'clock. There were only a few people left in the company.
When Ella Jiang walked to the door of the building, she found that it was raining heavily outside. The car at home must have gone to pick up Edmend Qin. It seemed that they had to wait until the rain was lighter.
"Why are you still here? Are you waiting for someone?" At this time, a car came over and rolled down the window. It was Jeremy Xie.
"No, I'm waiting for the rain to be lighter." Ella Jiang said honestly.
"Come on. I'll give you a ride."
Ella Jiang was instantly happy. "Anyway, you have a car. I won't stand on ceremony. If the rain is still so heavy, I will have to wait for the last bus in the rain."
Jeremy Xie liked this kind of person who was not affected at all; She could take a free ride as long as she could, without any sense of alienation.
When the car arrived at the gate, they found that Snow and Aunt Chen were already waiting for them with umbrellas in their hands.
"Mr. Xie? Mrs. Xie, master asked uncle Feng to pick you up. Didn't you meet him?" Aunt Chen asked as she handed an umbrella to Ella Jiang.
"No, I didn't. I was going to leave when the rain was getting lighter. I happened to meet Mr. Xie, so I asked him to drive me home." Ella Jiang took the umbrella and said, "thank you, boss. Drive slowly!"
Jeremy Xie rolled up the window and left.
"Oh, I guess I missed it. I'll call Terrence and tell him that you're home."
After entering the hall, Ella Jiang handed the umbrella to Snow and shook the rain off her clothes. When she looked up, she found that Edmend Qin was standing in the hall.
"Where is uncle Feng?" Edmend Qin asked Aunt Chen.
"I missed it. Mr. Xie sent her back. I'll call now." Aunt Chen said and walked towards the phone.
Edmend Qin and Ella Jiang stood there in silence.
"You're back." Edmend Qin didn't look good.
"Yes. I thought no one answered it, so I took a taxi back." Ella Jiang replied, "anyway, thank you."
Then she went to the room on the first floor.
"You don't have to clean the first floor anymore. "
Ella Jiang smiled, "then I have to thank you."
Then she walked forward without looking back.
After closing the door, Ella Jiang couldn't help but feel ridiculous. It was you who made me suffer like this. Now you think it's useless to hurt me. Are you going to erase the past? Or have you changed the policy and planned to force me to sign in another way?
Ella Jiang didn't want to think too much. She changed clothes and went to the dining room to cook for herself.
As soon as they entered the dining room, Ella Jiang found that Snow and Aunt Chen were serving the dishes on the table. She couldn't help but ask, "haven't you eaten yet?"
Snow opened her mouth quickly and said, "No. master said that you don't need to clean the first floor and have dinner with us from now on."
It's so weird. We need to reform the policies! While helping serve the dishes, Ella Jiang continued, "is your master a little split in personality?"
Snow was a little confused, "what do you mean by split personality?"
"He was just stimulated by something and his brain was not clear enough. Sometimes it would be like this, sometimes it would be like that." Ella Jiang explained.
"Okay.""No, I didn't. But I was stimulated," said Snow
"You have suffered a lot, haven't you?" Ella Jiang asked curiously.
"Yes. I heard that he once had a girlfriend called Dreame. The two of them had a good relationship and often came here to play. Later, Dreame died in a car accident. Then master was very sad and was not as optimistic as before."
Another car accident... If it weren't for the car accident, it wouldn't have led to Ella Jiang's miserable life.
"But I heard that there was something fishy about the car accident. Of course, I also heard about it. I don't know what it is exactly." Snow said as she put the last dish on the table. "I'm going to ask master to have dinner. Mrs., you don't have to eat alone in your room."
"Okay, go ahead." Ella Jiang pulled out a chair by herself and felt happy to have a normal meal at the table.
After a short while, Edmend Qin came out and sat opposite Ella Jiang. It was so quiet that she didn't know what to say.
"Well, thank you." Ella Jiang said
"For what?" Edmend Qin expressed her confusion.
Ella Jiang was thinking about how to answer her. She wondered if she should thank you for letting me have dinner in the living room and not cleaning the house? She shouldn't have done that.
"Nothing. Let's eat. I'm starving to death."
