Chapter 145 Do I Know You?

Shen Xinglan’s face sank.

“Where does she live?”

Shen II’s expression was twisted. “Jiang Quanyu has a house in a villa in Nancheng. Miss Jiang went home with him…”

“Bang!” Shen Xinglan punched the desk and stood up, his eyes like a Siberian cold-snap that could freeze one to death.

“B-B-Boss, calm down!” Shen I said quickly, “Jiang Quanyu certainly can’t allow the young lady to live in a hotel, so…” Shen I’s voice was getting quieter and quieter, in the end, he simply shut up.

Shen Xinglan sat back in his chair. “Watch Jiang Quanyu closely, I want to know his every move.”

Soon afterward, Shen II returned with news of Jiang Quanyu.

“His new company will hold an auction tomorrow, which is also a formal greeting to the business circle in City S.”

Shen Xinglan raised his eyebrows. “We didn’t get an invitation?”

“No… no.”

Shen I sneered and said, “I will get one. It’s just an invitation.”

On the afternoon of the next day, Shen I rushed into Shen Xinglan’s office excitedly carrying an invitation card.

“Boss, the invitation!” He put it on the table and added, “But it says to bring a female companion.”

“What for I bring a woman?” Shen Xinglan’s face sank.

“The request is written on top of the invitation…”

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Before Shen Xinglan could speak, Shanshan pushed the door open and came in.

“I knocked on the door this time!” Shanshan happily smiled and walked over to his desk and saw the invitation at a glance.

“What is this?” She picked it up and said, “An auction!”

Shen I turned his head away and gnashed his teeth…

“Brother Xinglan, I will be your companion!” Shanshan looked at him. “You don’t have one anyway.”

“Pah!” Shen I secretly spit on her. “Even though our Boss doesn’t properly strangle you, now you also want to be his female companion? Dream on…”

“Fine.”

Shen Xinglan nodded. And after waiting for Shanshan to leave, Shen I looked at his boss with a face full of complaints.

“Are you free?” Shen Xinglan cast a glance at him.

Shen I curled his lip. “Boss, if you want a female companion, they’re everywhere. Why take her?”

He picked up the corners of his mouth meaningfully. “Guess.”

…

At the Jiang Group, Jiang Quanyu gave A Miao a quick look.

“Ready?”

A Miao was wearing a light-green gauze skirt. The design of the shoulder wrap showed that her white shoulder was almost like a layer of jade. On her neck was a translucent jade pendant. The hair was coiled high and fixed with a green and white emerald hairpin.

“I believe the two sets you bring tomorrow will be sold quickly!” Jiang Hua could not help clapping. “I also believe that when the Xia family sees you, their eyeballs will fall out.”

“Don’t tease me,” A Miao covered her stomach with her hand, “I’m dying of nervousness.”

Jiang Quanyu reached over and said, “As long as you don’t look nervous.”

“I will try my best!” A Miao smiled and took his arm.

The company had a special auction hall, which was specially decorated this evening with no expense spared. Each decoration was antique or valuable. When Jiang Quanyu and A Miao walked in, everyone’s eyes focused on them.

Some of them with sharp eyes immediately found A Miao.

“Mr. Jiang is really young and promising. I have been to northern Europe. I didn’t expect you to return to China to start a company. Please take care of me more in the future!” Several that knew Jiang Quanyu’s identity went up to say hello.

A bold reporter directly asked, “Mr. Jiang, who is this beside you…”

“This is my girlfriend!” Jiang Quanyu smiled and said, “She is also my good assistant.”

The people around them started whispering, and suddenly a voice came to their ears.

“Are you not Jiang Hua? The professor in our school? “And you! You are A Miao! How are you together?”

A Miao saw that it was Ji Xue.

Jiang Quanyu secretly squeezed her hand and A Miao calmed down immediately.

“Yes, I used to work as a teacher under the pseudonym of Jiang Hua, which is our family tradition.” Jiang Quanyu smiled at the reporter and said, “Every young person entering the company should choose a job they like to get experience for a year.”

Next to him, an executive laughed out loud, stood up, and said, “Who would have thought that the Jiang who you always liked is unexpectedly a teacher!”

“Haha, childhood ideal!” Jiang Quanyu also smiled.

Ji Xue was already standing in front of both of them, staring at A Miao and laughing at her. “I really underestimated you. You abandoned Shen Xinglan and took on Jiang Hua again…”

“Miss Ji, isn’t it?” Jiang Quanyu interrupted her words, “Whoever A Miao likes is her right. What’s more, you’ve publicly insulted my girlfriend in my company. I’m sorry, but the Jiangs don’t welcome you.”

Ji Xue’s face turned green and white. “You… What do you mean?”

“Security!” Jiang Quanyu did not even look at her, “Please take this lady out.”

“Director Jiang,” a man suddenly came up and said, “I’m sorry. My sister, she is so outspoken.”

Ji Xue shot him a glare. “Brother…”

“Shut up!” Ji Yan said with a straight face, “What did you say when you arrived?”

At this time, Bai Lu, who had been hiding in the back and watching, twisted her waist and came up. “Xiaoxue, I just went to the restroom and you’ve caused trouble!”

“Alright.” Jiang Quanyu turned pale as he looked at them, “The Ji family is here today to muck up the gathering? Oh, by the way, I forgot that Miss Bai is the wife of the Ji family right now, so today it is your two families who will muck up the gathering.”

Ji Yan and Bai Lu looked at each other and said with a quick smile. “Jiang is always serious. How could we?”

“Xiaoxue, you still don’t apologize to Director Jiang?” Ji Yan gave his younger sister a push.

Ji Xue stamped her foot, turned around, and ran away.

“Teacher Jiang, I was your student before!” Bai Lu smiled happily. “I apologize for Ji Xue.” Her eyes were on A Miao’s face. After years of absence, that woman was more beautiful.

Covering the jealousy in her heart, Bai Lu tenderly smiled. “How are you, A Miao? Will you give your elder sister face?”

“Fine.” A Miao also smiled.

Jiang Quanyu nodded to A Miao. The two went to the other side to prepare for the auction.

“I didn’t expect that this woman would still be so difficult to deal with!” Ji Yan looked at A Miao’s back and hissed, “I don’t know if Shen Xinglan will come tonight. If he does… there will be a good show.”

A Miao, however, felt very unlucky. While Jiang Quanyu was talking about business with others, she went to the outside hall to get some air. Who knew that she would meet the two most annoying people head-on?

“A Miao?” Xia Wan looked at her in surprise, “Is it really you?”

As Bai Youran looked at the woman in front of him, his eyes flash in an amazing way. “Is this that bastard from before? How did her temperament completely change…”

“It’s me.” A Miao saw Bai Youran’s eyes, and thinking about the information about him, she felt even more disgusted with that man.

Xia Wan’s eyes twinkled, and when she saw that A Miao’s dress was very magnificent, she asked with some uncertainty, “Who did you come back with?”

Before A Miao could say anything, he saw Xia Mei hurrying in from outside. “Sister and brother-in-law, why didn’t you wait for me… Ah! How can you be… ”

“Shut up!” Xia Wan gave her arm a slap.

Xia Mei rubbed her arm and continued to stare. “Is it really you? Are you back?”

After that, she burst out laughing. “Oh, I heard that when Shen Xinglan was kicked out of the Ji family and brought you out of the country, you abandoned him and ran away with someone else. Why did you come back now?”

Xia Mei could not see Xia Wan’s and Bai Youran’s ugly faces. She laughed at herself and said, “Why? After learning that Shen Xinglan has made a comeback, you want to return? Hahaha. What a fool! No man would want a woman like you. If I were you, I’d just commit suicide and hang myself so as not to embarrass myself!”

“Then why don’t you go do it?” A voice interrupted.

A Miao’s eyes changed, while Xia Wan and Bai Youran were even more embarrassed. Only Xia Mei did not react and her mouth shouted, “Who? Who answered the question for no reason?”

As soon as she turned around, she saw three men and a woman standing there. The man in the middle was looking at her hazily.

“Shen… Shen Xinglan…” Xia Mei panicked and moved back two steps. A Miao could have caught her but ducked, and Xia Mei missed. Then, her butt was sitting on the ground.

Shen Xinglan did not respond to her, his eyes were staring straight at A Miao.

In fact, it was only a month ago that he had taken a sneak peek at A Miao, but now he felt that A Miao was even more beautiful. Her arrival could make him lose control and all the cells in his body were clamoring to hold her in his arms.

“A…”

“Miss A Miao?” Someone came through the door suddenly and said, “Here you are. Director Jiang has been looking for you!”

As Shen Xinglan’s eyes turned cold immediately and he was trying to keep her here, he heard A Miao speak.

“I was just out for some air. Let’s go!”

Then he watched helplessly as she went away without looking back.

As for the Xia sisters and Bai Youran, they had long sneaked away, leaving only Shen Xinglan standing at the door.

“Boss…” Shen I was afraid that Shen Xinglan would get angry, so he carefully called out to him.

Shanshan suddenly blushed and asked, “Sister A Miao is back. Why is she ignoring us?”

“You think too much.” Shen Xinglan gave her a quick look.

His glance startled Shanshan. How did she see disgust and hatred in the eyes of Shen Xinglan? It had to be wrong. Unfortunately, Shen Xinglan moved away and Shanshan remained uncertain.

A Miao’s attitude made Shen Xinglan lose control for a while. He wanted to strangle the fake Shanshan. In a depressed mood, he heard the auctioneer say that the last item auctioned today would be the jade pendant on the neck of Director Jiang’s girlfriend, which made him totally crumble.

“Girl… friend… friend?” Shen Xinglan choked out the words while staring at A Miao on the stage.

Shen I and Shen II were also stunned when they heard that from behind.

“How did she become Jiang Quanyu’s girlfriend?” Shen I could not believe it.

Shen II also frowned, when he and Boss went to peep her before, the relationship between the two of them was just as friends…

After the auction, Jiang Quanyu and A Miao were stopped, and it was not by accident.

“A Miao…” Shen Xinglan had made no secret of the begging in his eyes, “Let’s talk.”

Jiang Quanyu laughed. “I don’t know what Director Shen has to talk about with my girlfriend.”

“You know for yourself whether she is your girlfriend or not.” Shen Xinglan did not pay him any attention as he continued to stare at A Miao.

However, A Miao asked Jiang Quanyu with a curious face.

“Quanyu, this Director Shen… do I know him?”
