“Sister didn’t tell you that I’m home to recuperate?” Jiang Yao’s voice sounded lazy. “It’s not that I’ve been neglecting my job. It’s just that I’m not allowed to do so due to my health condition.”
Huang Chengjing was quiet for a few seconds. He asked casually, “Are you pregnant?”
Huang Chengjing did not know that Jiang Yao had gone back to her hometown to recuperate. He only heard from Lu Yuqing that Jiang Yao left immediately after returning to Nanjiang City without going to the company, acting as if the company had nothing to do with her.
Huang Chengjing thought that he would probably never meet a boss like Jiang Yao again in his lifetime. The company’s affairs were lost just like that. It had been a long time since he had been able to contact her, the big boss. Lu Yuqing and Manager Sun decided all company matters through discussion. Huang Chengjing frequently sought advice from Lu Yuqing, and he had spent more time with Lu Yuqing.
Therefore, Huang Chengjing thought that he had to thank Jiang Yao for being a hands-off manager. Otherwise, it would not have been easy for him to see Lu Yuqing.
“Recovering from illness is not the same as recuperating from pregnancy. Have you been too busy at work?” Jiang Yao retorted rudely. Then, she said, “Give Cheng Jinyan a call and tell him to get Cheng Jinnian out of my house quickly. Otherwise, when I get impatient, I’ll chase him away! Don’t think that he’ll be fine just because he doesn’t answer my calls. I’ll poison that little devil to death!”
Huang Chengjing had not yet recovered from the shock of being scolded by Jiang Yao. When he heard that Cheng Jinyan’s younger brother was with Jiang Yao, he was shocked again. “Xiao Nian is with you? That can’t be true, can it? Cheng Jinyan said that his younger brother went somewhere. It seems like he went to an island on a whim.”
“How can you believe such nonsense?” Jiang Yao curled her lips and said, “His mother is still recovering from her illness. How can Cheng Jinnian go on a vacation? He followed me to my hometown and is currently staying in the guest room next to mine. Cheng Jinyan blocked my calls, so I can’t get in touch with him. Help me pass my message to him.”
After a pause, Jiang Yao realized she was asking Huang Chengjing for help. It did not seem right for Huang Chengjing to be rendered speechless by her words, so she changed her tone again. “Sorry to trouble you. Please pass my message to Cheng Jinyan.”
Huang Chengjing laughed, thinking to himself that Jiang Yao was treating him like a three-year-old child who could not care less about a little girl.
Thinking of the time he spent with Lu Yuqing, Huang Chengjing laughed again. “Maybe we’ll be a family in the future. There’s no need to be so polite between families.”
Jiang Yao choked. It had been a long time since she had contacted Lu Yuqing, and it had also been a long time since she had had a good conversation with Lu Yuqing. She had no idea what had happened between Lu Yuqing and Huang Chengjing.
However, Lu Yuqing had only been separated from her ex-husband for less than a year. Zhao Zhuangzong and Lu Yuqing had suffered severe emotional wounds, Jiang Yao felt it would be pretty difficult for Huang Chengjing to woo Lu Yuqing.
Therefore, Jiang Yao smiled and said, “Then we’ll wait until we’re a family before I talk to Director Huang as someone from my family.”
Then, Jiang Yao hung up the phone. She looked at Cheng Jinnian, who was sitting on a rattan chair with his legs crossed. She would have to wait for Cheng Jinyan’s call.
‘I must chase him away. Otherwise, he won’t know whose territory this is.’
Hmph!
