The Beloved and Pampered Girl

Chapter 1169: Chapter 1169 Temporary Business Trip

“Jian, what’s going on? Could it be that Yuanyuan and Shang Sizhe haven’t done it yet?” Xia Mengjiao was the first to speak.

“Do we even need to ask? Yuanyuan’s reaction just now said it all!” Qin Rou blurted out before Jian Dan could speak. “What shocks me the most is, they’ve been together for a bit now, and they really haven’t done anything?”

“Why are you two so gossipy?” Jian Dan tried to stop them.

Although Jian Dan said that, she was actually somewhat surprised herself.

“Gossiping is a girl’s nature, okay? I don’t believe for a second that you’re not curious too,” Xia Mengjiao called her out directly.

“Alright, alright! I admit, I’m also very curious, but I guess it could be because Yuanyuan is still young?”

“Yuanyuan is already 25 today, still young?

If 25 is young, then weren’t you a minor at 20?” Qin Rou retorted straight away.

“You two are really… just wait, you two are paying the bill!” Jian Dan said, then quickly caught up with Yuanyuan and the others.

“Did I say something wrong?” Qin Rou looked at Xia Mengjiao with an innocent face.

“You didn’t do anything wrong! It’s just that you’re too direct when you talk, and now look.

You’re the one paying the bill later!”

“Why? Jian just clearly said both of us should pay the bill.”

“That comment just now was yours, and besides, my husband is just a salaried worker, but your husband is different, so of course, you’re the one paying the bill!” After saying that, she too chased after the others…

Qin Rou, left behind, felt like she had been tricked.

After the meal, they decided on the dishes and drinks for the event, and the only thing left to determine for today was the guest list. Without coming to a decision, Jian Dan asked them to go back home and compile their individual lists to be consolidated later.

By the time Jian Dan got home, it was already very late, but Uncle had not yet returned.

Jian Dan took out her phone and dialed Li Jing’s number…

“Jian Dan, why are you calling me?”

“I have something I need to ask you~” Jian Dan thought about the morning’s events and knew that even if she asked Uncle, Uncle wouldn’t tell her.

Li Jing’s heart skipped a beat~ and the next second, the question Jian Dan asked confirmed his suspicions.

Chu Liyuan had already told him not to tell Jian Dan; what should he do now? “Ah~ what? Ah? I can’t hear you clearly, maybe the signal is bad, hello~” With that, he hung up the phone.

Jian Dan was no fool; how could she not know something was up?

However, Li Jing’s reaction was enough to let Jian Dan understand the seriousness of the situation.

Jian Dan didn’t go upstairs but chose to head out again. She went to the garage, picked a car at random, and drove to Qin Corporation…

Just as Jian Dan arrived downstairs, her phone began to ring~

“Uncle?”

“Jian Jian, I’ve got some urgent business and need to go on a trip!”

“Now?”

“Yes! I’m already at the airport…”

“Mr. Chu can board now!” Li Jing’s voice came through the phone.

“Jian Jian, I’m going to board now, I’ll call you once I get there!”

“Okay! Uncle, take care of yourself and eat on time!”

Jian Dan did not voice her own worries because she did not want Chu Liyuan to worry about her.

After hanging up the phone, Jian Dan looked up at the dark 33rd floor, with moisture gradually forming in her eyes.

She knew that Uncle must have encountered some serious trouble, yet she felt helpless to assist.
