Chapter 359 The First Wife? What a pity.



Chapter 359 The First Wife? What a pity.

“She’s the future legal wife recognized by the Lou family, unlike you!” Jian Baizhu didn’t answer, but looked at Jiang Xing with resentment: “Jiang Xing, someone of your status is nothing more than a plaything who can only act arrogantly by relying on the charity of those in power. You’re not much better than me!”

Jiang Xing said he didn't care about making threats.

The legal wife?

Gu Yueyue?

So she was hoping to latch onto Gu Yueyue, the future 'CEO's wife', what a pity!

……

"Mr. Lou, the meeting tonight has been postponed to tomorrow morning." The secretary reported to Lou Qi while seeing Lou Qi already putting on his coat and walking out.

...Hmm, he changed from a suit jacket to a very stylish trench coat, which looks a bit flashy!

"Tell the project team no drinking today, and prepare hot drinks." Lou Qi finished speaking and walked out. "Time to go home."

The secretary suddenly remembered something, her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly chased after him, only to receive an important phone call. By the time she caught up, Lou Qi had already taken the elevator downstairs.

“It’s over…” The secretary’s face turned ashen.

……

Jiang Xing may not attend the dinner party, but the others will.

After a meal paid for with public funds, everyone happily packed up their things and prepared to leave work. They had only walked halfway when they saw a tall, imposing figure approaching.

This is quite different from his usual serious appearance in a suit and tie.

"Manager Lou!" The project team leader's eyelids twitched, and he braced himself to go forward.

"Thank you all for your hard work these past few days. I'll treat you to dinner tonight." Since it's a treat, everyone should go along.

As Lou Qi spoke, his gaze subtly searched through the crowd.

Even after everyone in the meeting room had left and the last person closed the meeting room door, Jiang Xing was still nowhere to be seen.

"Is everyone here?" Lou Qi asked the person in charge.

Although President Lou's expression remained unchanged, the person in charge felt an inexplicable pressure and tried hard not to stammer: "We're all here! Oh, by the way, Mr. Jiang from Gu's Group has a family emergency and won't be joining us tonight."

The person in charge clearly saw that Mr. Lou's eyelids twitched slightly—a very subtle expression that revealed his displeasure!

Everyone looked up at the sky and down at the ground, not daring to utter a sound.

A few seconds later, Lou finally spoke up: "Put the bill in my name, you guys relax."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

No nostalgia at all.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, wanting to gossip about 'what exactly is the relationship between Jiang Xing and President Lou,' but they still vividly remembered the tense atmosphere just now and dared not utter a word.

The secretary rushed over, only to see Lou Qi leaving with a dark expression.

"Mr. Lou, Miss Jiang has already gone home," the secretary said, trying to salvage the situation.

Lou Qi glanced at her coldly, as if to say: Why don't you tell me tomorrow?

-

On her way home, Jiang Xing felt like someone was following her, but when she looked back, she didn't see anyone suspicious.

She turned and went into the convenience store, grabbed a bento box, and stood in a secluded spot in the store, observing the outside for a while, but still didn't see anything suspicious.

After returning home, I hid behind the curtains and continued to look down.

A few minutes later, a familiar Cullinan came into view—Lou's abandoned car.

The feeling of being followed isn't an illusion; it's a sign of being abandoned.

Jiang Xing found it unbelievable.

Such a large company like Minglou Group, doesn't it need him to work?

The next second, the driver's side window of the Cullinan rolled down.

The man's sharp gaze seemed to pierce through dozens of meters, instantly locking onto Jiang Xing's location.

Jiang Xing was startled and quickly took a step back.
