Song Liangjiang took a sketchbook and drew her inspiration while listening to the gossip. When she spotted Li Chuan coming in with his phone, she quickly waved at him.

Li Chuan was speechless.

Mrs. Chu’s sudden enthusiasm for him was suspicious.

“Executive Assistant Li, I remember that the Chu Corporation had a resort that combined the ancient Chinese gardens and Western art in the 60s and 70s. However, that resort was later flattened because of development. Does the Chu Corporation have a sketch of that resort?” This was the main reason why Song Liangjiang was willing to come here.

The design of the Chu Corporation resort was like the epitome of the architectural standards. Unfortunately, it was shattered, and future generations could only hear legends about it.

“The designer of the resort, Mr. Xuan Chi, passed away more than twenty years ago. I heard that none of the Xuan family members escaped from the fire back then. Mr. Xuan Chi’s blueprints were also burned. No one can replicate such a complicated design, right?” It was a male architect who spoke. He sounded obviously regretful.

“The President’s office has a 1:200 replica model.”

“There’s one in Chu Jingmo’s office?” Song Liangjiang’s eyes lit up. “Let’s go to Chu Jingmo’s office.”

“Who is Chu Jingmo? Do you think you can meet him just because you want to? Don’t anger President Chu and get us kicked out, okay?” One of the girls interjected impatiently, obviously thinking that Song Liangjiang entered with her looks.

Song Liangjiang looked back at the women who were full of malice towards her. She was as proud as a little peacock. “Executive Assistant Li, does your president want to meet me?”

“Yes, President Chu asked me to invite Miss Song over.”

“Huh?”

Song Liangjiang was stunned. She merely wanted to put on a show!

She wanted to go to Chu Jingmo’s office, but not to meet him!

There was a fundamental difference, okay?

Li Chuan beamed. “Miss Song, please.”

Song Liangjiang asked with her eyes. ‘Shouldn’t he be busy with meetings?’

Li Chuan replied, ‘It’s already over!’

Song Liangjiang followed Li Chuan out in a daze. Her little peacock’s tail was drooping. As expected, she couldn’t pretend to be a big shot. She would be easily struck by lightning.

Song Liangjiang took her phone back and looked at the screen. “He can’t be that petty right? As you can see, he was the one who started it. I was just trying to save myself.” She tried to defend herself.

This time, Song Liangjiang followed Li Chuan up without any protest. It was for the sake of that Harmonious Flowing Stream and Goblets blueprint. She had only caught a glimpse of it in her professor’s study. At that time, she was instantly attracted to it. However, she was later told that Xuan Chi’s family had been burned to death, and even the blueprints were gone. The original resort had long been flattened and tall buildings had been built in its place.

“Hahahaha, Lin Xi is good at everything, but she likes to gossip. She has a loose tongue. Now, almost the entire City A knows that you like men. Chu Jingmo, Chu Jingmo. You don’t have to work so hard in order not to marry her, right?” Xie Yu laughed arrogantly in Chu Jingmo’s office. His behavior right now was completely different from his gentle and refined image.

Chu Jingmo changed his shirt and looked coldly at the man who won the Best Actor award. “Are you banned? You’re so free?”

“I have a lot of schedules and work. It’s just that I haven’t been back in a few years. I didn’t know you were married, or was it a marriage of convenience? You are despicable. So, who’s the man you like?” Xie Yu looked at his friend. The girl he saw at the airport that day was supposedly his wife. What a pity.

“President, Miss Song is here,” Li Chuan announced from outside.

“The instigator is here.” Chu Jingmo leaned back in his chair and looked at the person who came in.

The moment Song Liangjiang entered, her eyes darted around, trying to find a model of Harmonious Flowing Stream and Goblets.

Xie Yu turned back to look at the girl who had entered. She seemed sneaky and anxious to find something, like a little mouse entering an empty oil barrel. However, she looked extremely adorable.

Song Liangjiang’s huge eyes scanned the office but she didn’t see any models. She could not help but steal an accusatory glance at Li Chuan to berate him for lying.

Li Chuan scratched the tip of his nose and chose to leave.

“Miss Song, we meet again.” Xie Yu leaned against Chu Jingmo’s desk and studied Song Liangjiang with a grin.

Only then did Liangjiang notice Xie Yu. “President Chu, you have a guest. I’ll…”

“Mrs. Chu, aren’t you going to explain the rumors that I like men?” Chu Jingmo hissed coldly, stopping her from leaving.

Song Liangjiang had just touched the door when she struggled for a moment. She forced herself to remove her other hand from the doorknob. After forcefully retracting it, she turned to look at Chu Jingmo. “Didn’t I help you to solve the problem of being pestered by women once and for all? Look, even if you wish to, I’m afraid no one in the entire A City will like you now.”

“Does that mean I have to thank you?”

“No need, it’s fine. Just sign the divorce papers,” Song Liangjiang replied generously. She was really smart to think of such a brilliant idea.

The key was that Lin Xi was too efficient to have spread the rumors so quickly.

“Are you getting a divorce? I wonder if I can join the waiting list as one of Miss Song’s suitors?” Xie Yu didn’t care about the fact that he had been ignored. Instead, he forced himself to interrupt their conversation.

Chu Jingmo looked at his good friend with annoyance, as if to see if he was serious or joking.

Song Liangjiang also glanced at Xie Yu. “I remember you. You’re the celebrity who smashed my laptop yesterday.”

For someone who spent long periods of time at construction sites, she really didn’t have time to keep up with celebrities.

Xie Yu was stunned for a moment. It wasn’t that Song Liangjiang didn’t notice him, but she didn’t know him at all.

The international movie star was shocked. Don’t young girls watch TV these days? Didn’t they watch movies? Don’t they go online?

“You don’t know me?” The movie star couldn’t stand this grievance.

“Yes, I do. Your fan pushed me down and smashed my laptop. I can’t even turn it on. Compensate me.” This was something she hadn’t known until she got home at night. The laptop was damaged, and she hadn’t gone to look for him. But he had appeared on his own.

“Hahahahahahaha…” Xie Yu suddenly laughed out loud, with tears in his eyes.

Song Liangjiang silently moved closer to Chu Jingmo. She felt that this man might not be in his right mind, but after meeting Chu Jingmo’s gaze, she darted away. This room was really scary!

Chu Jingmo scoffed loudly.

After Xie Yu had finished laughing, he said, “All right, tell me what laptop you want. I’ll buy you everything.”

Chu Jingmo and Xie Yu grew up together and he knew his temper better than anyone else. Xie Yu’s personality and image in the entertainment field and even in the upper class society was commendable. He was polite and considerate, but those who really knew him knew that he had a coldness in his bones. However, his attitude towards Song Liangjiang was sincere and gentle, and… he was affectionate towards her!

“Really…”

“I think you’re too bored. Have you dealt with all the scandals online? Have you resolved the rumors about your illegitimate son?” Chu Jingmo spoke abruptly as he stared at Xie Yu.
