After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 417 - 420: A World of Two People [3]

One day, a maidservant accidentally broke a bowl. Xiao Jin Buhuan, sitting by the side, not only refrained from crying but even laughed. Mr. Jin then bought many porcelain bowls and smashed them at home to please his son with the sound. As Jin Buhuan grew up, he became unruly and indulgent, only seeking pleasure, squandering money like dirt, and soon he squandered his entire family fortune, ending up begging for a living. Later, with his wife’s help, he finally came to his senses and returned to the right path. Do you understand what I’m saying?"

Jiao Yang nodded, "I understand. A prodigal son turning back, the role of a loved one is very important. Perhaps, I also need such a lover."

Luo Xiaoqian laughed. Among the people she knew, he was probably the first to interpret the story this way.

"Was I wrong?"

"No!" Luo Xiaoqian gently shook her head, "Although your perspective is different from ours, but who knows, perhaps Jin Buhuan really turned over a new leaf because of love."

Jiao Yang wanted to say something more when Luo Xiaoqian’s phone started ringing.

"Yu Tong, it’s me." After a glance at her watch, Luo Xiaoqian hurriedly apologized, "Sorry, I’ll be right there, very soon."

She had thought dinner would be finished quickly, but inadvertently, they had chatted for so long. In ten more minutes, it would be meeting time.

"I apologize for delaying your time." Jiao Yang stood up, "I’ll drive you there, it will be faster."

After settling the bill, the two rushed out of the hot pot restaurant. Emperor View wasn’t far from here and given Jiao Yang’s good driving skills, it took only five minutes to get her to the Emperor View Parking Lot.

"I’m off!" As soon as the car stopped, Luo Xiaoqian was already pushing the car door open.

"Thank you for the story you told me today." Jiao Yang smiled at her, "A single conversation with you is better than ten years of study. I’m not wrong this time, am I?"

"Absolutely right!" Luo Xiaoqian jumped out of the car, "I believe, you will find your true self very soon."

With a wave of her hand to him, Luo Xiaoqian ran toward the direction of the elevator.

Watching her from behind, Jiao Yang reached into his pocket, took out a cigarette, looked at it, then put it back into the pack.

"I think, I’ve already found it!"

...

...

Conference room.

Xu Pei glanced at her watch once again, a habit formed over many years. She really didn’t like it when people were late.

With a smile, Yu Tong said, "Director Xu, don’t worry. Let’s wait a little longer. I just called Xiao Qian and she said she’ll be here shortly."

Xu Pei nodded slightly, "Three more minutes, and if she doesn’t show up, we’ll start without her."

The door opened.

Luo Xiaoqian hurried in from outside, heading straight to her seat while apologizing to everyone, "I’m so sorry to have kept you all waiting."

Although Luo Xiaoqian was late, it was still two minutes until half-past one, not past the actual start time of the meeting, so she couldn’t be counted as late.

Apart from Xu Pei, everyone had worked with Luo Xiaoqian for a long time and knew that she was not one to delay without a cause, so no one had any complaints. They were rather concerned, looking at her.

"Xiao Qian, are you okay?" Zhuo Yannan turned his face from the computer screen.

Luo Xiaoqian took her notebook out of her bag, "It’s nothing, don’t worry about me, let’s get started. I really am sorry for making you all wait for me."

Yu Tong passed the prepared documents to her, "Director Xu, shall we begin now?"
