Chapter 135 Engagement News
"Hey, didn't Ah Heng tell you?" Chloe straightened up and stood in front of Jiang Man. "I remember the last news report that Uncle Su had already publicly announced that Ah Heng and I were about to get engaged. Didn't you see the news?"
Jiang Man stood there in shock, forcing a smile from the corner of his mouth, "Congratulations, both of you."
"Can you spare some time?"
Jiang Man avoided her gaze. "Sorry, I have to get back to work, and I know nothing about design, so I'm afraid I can't help you."
"Oh, that's okay." Chloe turned around and was about to leave. When she reached the door of the president's office, she whispered, "I hope Miss Jiang can honor you by attending our engagement party." After that, she smiled and pushed the door open and walked in.
Jiang Man slowly walked towards the elevator, feeling sad gradually in her heart, and she knew very well that she hated this feeling.
"Sister, let's have lunch together at noon?" Jiang Lu walked to Jiang Man's desk and asked sweetly.
Jiang Man looked up, her heart still heavy. She was about to refuse when Jiang Lu looked at her with pleading eyes, "Go ahead, go ahead. Brother Ziyin will pick us up at noon today."
Jiang Manyi turned around and asked, "Ziyin? Why is he here at Su's?"
Jiang Lu looked at Jiang Man in feigned surprise, "Sister, don't you know? Brother Ziyin said he wants to treat you to a meal."
Jiang Man quickly said: "I never promised him!"
"Oh, sister, I'm sorry, I didn't know. So, I agreed to it for you." She apologized and begged, "Sister, you can't let Ziyin think I'm lying, right?" She held Jiang Man's hand and shook it continuously. Jiang Man had a headache. "Okay, I got it."
"Great! I'm going to ask Brother Ziyin to take me out for a big meal at noon today!" She ran towards the tea room like a happy little bird. Jiang Man looked at her back, rubbed his temples, and felt helpless.
Near noon, Jiang Man was half-pushed and half-dragged out of the company's door by Jiang Lu.
Lu Ziyin's car was parked in front of the company.
He slowly raised his head, and wherever his eyes fell, he saw Jiang Man's face was gloomy, with a hint of imperceptible fatigue and sadness in his expression.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" he asked with concern.
Jiang Man shook his head. "It's okay, just a little tired."
The three of them got in the car. Jiang Man closed his eyes and began to rest, but Chloe's words echoed in his mind.
The car arrived at the restaurant quickly.
Jiang Man sat at the table with a listless look on her face. Seeing her like this, Lu Ziyin snapped his fingers in front of her, and a rose appeared from his hands like magic. "This is for you."
Jiang Man looked around and took the flowers awkwardly, "Thank you."
Jiang Lu looked envious, "Brother Ziyin, you are so romantic!"
Lu Ziyin smiled slightly, "It would be nice if someone appreciated it."
When Jiang Man heard Lu Zinyin's words, she felt a little unhappy. She stood up and said, "I'll go to the bathroom first." Then she turned and walked towards the bathroom.
Jiang Lu looked at her back, thought for a moment, and said slowly, "Brother Ziyin, I think my sister seems to have a boyfriend."
"Boyfriend?" Lu Ziyin glanced at her.
Jiang Lu took out her phone from her handbag mysteriously, "You have to promise me not to tell my sister. I said it!"
She opened the photo album on her phone and found a photo of Su Heng and Jiang Man kissing last night!
Lu Ziyin glanced at him casually, and his pupils dilated instantly.
Jiang Lu looked at his expression and said helplessly, "Sister came back very late last night... Brother Ziyin, I don't know what sister is thinking. Why did she break up with you? In my heart, you and sister are the most suitable for each other."
"I understand." Lu Ziyin withdrew his gaze and tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart.
At this time, Jiang Man came out of the bathroom and went straight back to his seat. Jiang Lu silently put away her phone and pretended nothing had happened.
"Sister, what do you like to eat?" She looked at Jiang Man with a smile.
Jiang Man glanced at Lu Ziyin and asked, "What about you?"
"I don't care." Lu Ziyin looked at her, with a hint of gloom hidden deep in his eyes.
"Then let's just order a few dishes. There are only three of us anyway." Jiang Man casually flipped through the menu and ordered a few home-cooked dishes.
After a while, all the dishes were served.
"Sister, why did you stay in President Su's office for so long today? What were you doing?" Jiang Lu picked up a piece of meat and put it into Jiang Man's bowl, asking casually.
Jiang Man glanced at her suspiciously, frowning slightly, "We were talking about work."
Jiang Lu said "Oh" softly, with a smile that showed some understanding, and did not continue to ask.
"How is uncle's health recovering?" Lu Ziyin asked casually, holding the chopsticks tightly.
"Well, I've gone home to recuperate." Jiang Man thought to himself that it was time to go home for a visit.
"Are you okay with being discharged so soon?" he asked again with concern.
"Of course, no problem!" Jiang Lu rushed to answer before Jiang Man could even speak. "I heard from my aunt that someone helped us hire a top-notch caregiver, the kind that's hard to come by. My aunt is so happy!"
"Is that so?" Lu Ziyin's gaze fell on Jiang Man again, with a hint of reproach in his eyes, and he said word by word: "Manman, I told you that you can come to me if you need anything."
Jiang Man glanced at him calmly and said, "I understand. Thank you."
Her polite yet distant attitude made Lu Ziyin's eyes twitch slightly, and his eyes were fixed on her, "Do you really have to be so distant from me?"
Jiang Man seemed a little absent-minded. "Ziyin, I didn't." She looked at him and said softly, "Besides, your mother doesn't want you to get too close to me. You shouldn't make things difficult for her."
"Manman, if it's because of my mother, then you're worrying too much. I will explain it to her clearly." He stared at Jiang Man, who lowered his head, not knowing how to respond.
Part of the reason was that she didn't want to go back to her old life, but it would hurt him so it was better not to say it.
She shifted her gaze and said, "Let's eat first. The food is getting cold."
"Okay." Lu Ziyin looked at her, his heart inevitably filled with ripples.
This meal was tasteless.
In the afternoon, Jiang Man returned to the company and Xiao Zheng came to her desk.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Man looked up and asked.
Xiao Zheng looked at her with a smile. "Tomorrow is the first day of the official launch of the new project. There's a cocktail party at the company tonight. How are your preparations going?"
Jiang Man was helpless, "I don't think this is necessary."
Xiao Zheng tapped her head gently, "Stop talking. As usual, I'll take care of your image problem! I will turn decay into magic again!" She raised her finger with a determined look on her face!
Jiang Man's smile seemed a little weak, and he felt like he was being treated as a major project.
Xiao Zheng patted Jiang Man on the shoulder and said, "Remember to come find me!" Then he returned to his seat.
