Jiang Tongtong thought about it and decided to go. Lin Gantang asked worriedly, âArenât you going to tell my brother? Maybe he can resolve it.â
Jiang Tongtong shook her head. âWill you accompany me tomorrow?â
Lin Gantang could not rest easy if she met the other party alone while pregnant, so she nodded in agreement.
The next day, the closer it was to the meeting time, the more anxious Jiang Tongtong was.
Before they set off, Jiang Tongtong hesitantly picked out her clothes. Lin Gantang stepped forward to help. âYou donât have to dress too formally. You might as well choose something comfortable and casual. Donât let her think that you care about dressing up and comparing yourself to her. Who is she? Treating her as an enemy will only make her think that she is very important.â
Jiang Tongtong was feeling unsure, so she chose to listen to Lin Gantangâs opinion.
There werenât many people in Susanâs Dessert Shop. Lin Gantang and Jiang Tongtong entered and saw a wavy-haired woman in a camel coat sitting by the window.
Lu Siyuâs looks were mature and charming. She wore a black tight-fitting dress under her coat, and her figure was voluptuous. Her fiery red lips matched with seductive eye makeup, revealing her unique mature woman temperament.
Seeing that Jiang Tongtong had someone accompanying her, Lu Siyu was slightly surprised. She stood up and stretched out her hand, saying to Jiang Tongtong, âHello, Iâm Lu Siyu.â
Jiang Tongtong glanced at her hand but didnât shake it.
Lu Siyu didnât feel awkward and took back her seat.
She sized up Jiang Tongtong and said bluntly, âIâm very curious about whatâs so special about someone who can make Zhaonan marry. Thatâs why I presumptiously asked you out today.â
âItâs indeed quite presumptuous, but it doesnât matter. Iâm also curious about what kind of person you are,â Jiang Tongtong said.
Lu Siyu didnât even ask who the person beside Jiang Tongtong was. In her eyes, Lin Gantang was just someone Jiang Tongtong had pulled in with her to boost her courage. From this, she could tell that Jiang Tongtongâs personality wasnât tough. This way, the following conversation would be very beneficial to her.
âIâve been working as a project director at Company R for three years. Iâve known Zhaonan for a long time. What does Miss Jiang do?â She looked at Jiang Tongtong Tongâs belly. âYou canât be a full-time housewife?â
âFrom your tone, you seem to look down on full-time housewives?â Although she wasnât, Jiang Tongtong didnât like her tone; the way she thought that she was superior to others in her work.
âIâm not going to be a full-time housewife anyway. I just think that the people who stay by Zhaonanâs side should be people who can help him in his work and life. Heâs very outstanding. Only outstanding people are worthy of him,â Lu Siyu said proudly.
Before Jiang Tongtong could say anything, Lin Gantang laughed out loud when she heard her confident words.
Lu Siyu looked at her when she heard that. Lin Gantang shrugged and gestured for her to continue.
Lu Siyu didnât take Lin Gantang to heart and continued to speak to Jiang Tongtong. âI admire Zhaonanâs talent and knowledge. He has always been a very responsible person. This time, he suddenly handed over half of his work to someone else. I donât know if this decision is Miss Jiangâs intention, but this has really caused a lot of trouble for Zhaonan.â
âThis is my husbandâs decision. Miss Lu, you know very well who caused the so-called trouble you mentioned,â Jiang Tongtong retorted.
Lu Siyu disagreed. âPeople are destined to be attracted to outstanding members of the opposite sex around them. Miss Jiang, you wonât be angry, right? There are so many exceptional women around Zhaonan. If it wasnât me, there would be others.â
Jiang Tongâs heart burned with anger. She wanted to argue, but Lin Gantang pressed on her hand.
So you want to be a third party?â Lin Gantang asked indifferently..
