Pregnant After Healing the Alpha

Chapter 291: Chapter 281: They Offended the Boss Lady!
 

“`

Their family runs a business, so they must have recognized Tang Yan’s identity and had a favor to ask him, which is why their attitude toward Lin Xiuxiang suddenly became so amiable.

This morning Jiang Ning said some nasty things, but by the afternoon her demeanor had completely changed, and it was obvious to anyone with eyes what was going on.

Seizing the moment, Chen Jingling asked, “Brother-in-law, do you know about the Zhan’s subsidiary company’s project on raw material wholesale?”

Tang Yan thought for a moment and indeed recalled such a project at the subsidiary.

“Are you talking about the one worth twenty million?”

Chen Jingling’s eyes immediately lit up, and he nodded excitedly.

“Yes, yes, yes, that’s the one. I couldn’t negotiate a deal with them. Brother-in-law, do you think you could, perhaps, put in a good word for me?”

Qiao Jing, who had been observing from the side, heard this and knew that her suspicions were correct.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have suddenly become so nice to Xiuxiang.

Tang Yan didn’t agree; he noticed that Lin Xiuxiang didn’t seem to get along particularly well with them.

Otherwise, Xiuxiang would have been chatting with this sister with a smile on her face just now.

Moreover, he knew the reason why Xiuxiang had been abandoned, and inside, he felt somewhat dissatisfied with this family.

Because he knew these things, he had the ability but was unwilling to help, unless Xiuxiang asked him to.

“These partnerships are decided by the marketing department; I’m just an assistant at the company and can’t help.”

After saying this, he looked towards Lin Xiuxiang, worried that Jiang Ning might bully her.

Lin Xiuxiang tried to break free from Jiang Ning’s grasp, but the latter clung to her tightly, rendering her unable to move.

“Let me go.”

Jiang Ning muttered to herself, how could her sister be so blind? How could she let go at a time like this?

What if Tang Yan saw that their relationship wasn’t that good and refused to help? What then?

She continued to cling to Lin Xiuxiang’s arm, shifting her gaze to the shopping bags in Qiao Jing’s hand.

Qiao Jing must have used Lin Xiuxiang’s money to buy those! How could such a poor person have so much money?

Jiang Ning was quite irritated; her sister’s money should also be considered part of their family’s. How could it be given to someone else? And it seemed she had bought quite a lot.

Her expression changed, and she feigned concern.

“Xiuxiang, listen to your sister. She bought so much with your money, didn’t she? She must be after your money. You shouldn’t associate with her anymore.”

“She’s so poor, she likes to latch onto people like you, and then finds excuses to have you pay for her. I knew it, how could you possibly be fooled by such a pauper. You were tricked.”

Lin Xiuxiang couldn’t take it anymore and forcefully withdrew her arm.

“I’ve said before, don’t speculate about my friends willy-nilly!”

She had been criticized twice in one day about Qiao Qiao. Did they really think she had no temper? There is a limit to everything, and if there were a third time, they shouldn’t blame her for losing her cool!

Qiao Jing shook her head gently at Lin Xiuxiang to indicate that she was fine.

It was only then that Jiang Ning shut her mouth, worried that if Lin Xiuxiang got angry, their deal might fall through.

Tang Yan frowned when he heard what Jiang Ning said.

Chen Jingling, although rejected, did not give up and continued to persuade.

“Brother-in-law, we’re all family here, no need for false modesty. You’re President Zhan’s right-hand man, how could you not be of help?”

“All I’m asking is for you to give them a heads-up, that’s all. Hey, let’s not stand around talking, let’s go get some diner.”

There was a restaurant nearby, and Chen Jingling began pulling Tang Yan toward it.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning once again took Lin Xiuxiang’s arm and followed behind Chen Jingling and the others.

“`

Tang Yan didn’t bluntly refuse them; after all, they were relatives related by blood to Xiangxiang, and it wouldn’t look good to cause too much of a scene.

Finding herself left behind, Qiao Jing suddenly realized that Xiuxiang’s piece of clothing had been left with her, and she intended to catch up and return it.

Just then, Jiang Ning turned around and noticed Qiao Jing trying to follow, her eyes filled with disdain, and her tone turned even more unpleasant.

“This is our family’s business; what does it have to do with an outsider like you? Why would you follow us? Are you trying to mooch a meal? Keep dreaming!”

Chen Jingling also looked at Qiao Jing. When he was at the welfare institute, he had noted that Qiao Jing’s appearance and demeanor were top-notch.

He had never seen such a beautiful woman; compared to his wife, Qiao Jing was celestial, while his wife was the opposite.

If Qiao Jing was a fairy who had descended to earth, then his wife was like someone who had bounced out of a mud pit.

Previously at the welfare institute, Chen Jingling had been too preoccupied with watching Jiang Ning and Xiuxiang argue to take a closer look at Qiao Jing.

Now he noticed that upon closer inspection, not only was Qiao Jing’s face attractive, but her figure was also exceptionally fine!

Even though she was wearing a loose T-shirt, one could still glimpse her impressive stature; one could only imagine what lay beneath her clothing.

The tight jeans she wore outlined her long legs, worthy of a world-class supermodel.

Chen Jialuo’s gaze wandered, and he unconsciously swallowed.

Jiang Ning caught her husband’s look, daring to stare at another woman’s face and even swallow his saliva?!

Furious, she glared at Chen Jingling, showed no mercy as she stomped on his foot, and stared viciously at Qiao Jing’s face as she spoke indirectly.

“You can’t make friends with some people, okay? It’s bad enough they covet your money, but with them flaunting their looks, what if they pull a stunt like in those TV dramas, where your best friend steals your husband?”

“And with your brother-in-law being so outstanding, some people might inevitably feel tempted, so be careful.”

Xiuxiang and Tang Yan had already stopped walking when Jiang Ning spoke the first sentence, the couple in unison furrowing their brows.

At this moment, Tang Yan was extremely anxious inside; if the boss heard this, his job would be at risk!

Jiang Ning’s words became uglier, and Xiuxiang felt a surge of anger in her chest; this was the third time she had insulted Qiao Qiao.

She didn’t need such relatives!

Just as she was about to argue with Jiang Ning, Tang Yan signaled with a glance and stopped her, indicating he could handle it.

“There might be a way to discuss this cooperation.”

Tang Yan intentionally left his sentence hanging, keeping Jiang Ning and Chen Jingling on tenterhooks.

At his words, they both halted in their tracks, looking at Tang Yan with expectant eyes.

Did that mean he could help them with the cooperation?

Tang Yan turned around and glanced at Qiao Jing.

“Why don’t you ask her what she thinks?”

Jiang Ning and Chen Jingling were stunned for a moment, glancing at each other and seeing confusion in each other’s eyes.

What the hell? What did he mean?

What’s the point of asking this poor thing? What decision could she make?

Tang Yan didn’t wait for an answer from the two, but turned to Qiao Jing, speaking to her with great respect.

“Madam Boss, what do you think is the best way to handle this?”

Jiang Ning and Chen Jingling were completely stunned, their eyes bulging as they looked at Qiao Jing, so surprised that their mouths could have fit an egg.

What? Qiao Jing was Tang Yan’s boss? Did that mean she was the young mistress of the Zhan Family?

That meant they had offended the boss’s wife!
