Chapter 292 - Is He Hiding Himself from Me Deliberately?

Chapter 292 Is He Hiding Himself from Me Deliberately?

Xia Yu's heart still fluttered with fear. She looked at Li Feiran and said. "This is called 'Heaven rewards the good'. As the bastard died, no one can threaten you then. Don't think about it again. Just concentrate on your work. There will be a press conference tomorrow, and Wen Xiaoqian will also be present as a spokesperson. A lot of fans of her will come there maybe. You should keep an eye on it."

"I know. Don't worry." Although Li Feiran had a few days to have a rest, she still had confidence in this event.

Yang Ke'er also came with her mother. If Wen Xiaoqian was not invited by Xia Yu, she would be very happy. But that was exactly what happened, so she was unhappy.

However, her mother seemed to be very interested in this event. In addition to her identity as the wife of Yang Group's President, there were many people who greeted her. She shuttled through the crowd and had almost no time to care about Yang Ke'er. Then Yang Ke'er sneaked to the corner and took out the phone. She took a selfie of a miserable look and sent it to a number.

A few minutes had passed, but she still did not receive any response. Yang Ke'er didn't resign herself to the result, so she continued to type on the screen.

"I am attending a party. It's so boring. What are you doing?"

She sent it out and waited for a while, but there was no reply.

Yang Ke'er continued to send another message. "Today there is an activity in your company. Why haven't you shown up yet?"

She received a reply after the message was sent for a long time, but there was only a short sentence. "I am outside. I guess I will not be able to catch it in time."

These words almost directly landed Yang Ke'er into the bottom of the hell. What did he mean? Where was he? Who was he with?

Yang Ke'er was lost in reverie and was in a worse mood because of the several words of Shen Yan. She was wondering whether she should call him, but then she saw her mother suddenly rushing toward her.

"Why are you here alone? Go, and I'll take you to meet a few people!"

"I'm not going with you!"

"Don't be so thoughtless. You're so childish even if you've grown up!"

Mrs. Yang simply grabbed Yang Ke'er's hand and dragged her to the home field. Yang Ke'er was upset and she was not really interested in the people here. Since they were in public, she could not directly embarrass her mother. She was dragged reluctantly by her mother to the wine rack, and then Mrs. Yang stopped.

"Master Jiang!"

The man in front of the wine rack turned back. A burly figure, wearing a black suit, looked robust and a little terrifying.

Mrs. Yang grabbed Yang Ke'er and introduced. "This is my daughter. She came back from abroad. This is Jiang Tao of Jiang Group. Master Jiang, do you mind if my daughter calls you brother?"

Yang Ke'er felt speechless. "..."

Jiang Tao opposite to her laughed heartily. "Mrs. Yang, you are flattering me. It's a blessing to have such a beautiful sister. But don't address me as ‘brother’. Why not just call me Jiang Tao? It sounds more intimate."

Jiang Tao turned to Yang Ke'er and took the initiative to reach out his hand. "I am Jiang Tao. Fancy meeting you! I wonder if I have the honor to befriend with Miss Yang!"

Yang Ke'er's heart sank as Jiang Tao's eyes shone. This was the natural reaction of a man's hormone when he saw a woman. She could see it, but she just felt awkward.

Mrs. Yang also noticed it, but she did not expect that Jiang Tao would take the initiative to show his affection. She gently pushed Yang Ke'er aside. "Silly girl. What are you doing? Just respond to him!"

Yang Ke'er could only bite the bullet to reach out to Jiang Tao." Master Jiang, you are so kind."

Jiang Tao took the opportunity to scratch her palm twice secretly by his figures with smiling eyes. His right eye stared strangely at someplace, perhaps at Yang Ke'er’s breast or waist. Yang Ke'er withdrew her hand and snorted lightly, scolding him for his frivolous action in her heart.

"Can we exchange our contact information?" Jiang Tao took out a business card and handed it over to her.

Yang Ke'er responded directly. "Sorry, we can't!"

Mrs. Yang was embarrassed as if she had eaten a fly. She quickly pulled Yang Ke'er's hand and said hurriedly. "Master Jiang, please don't mind it." She glared at Yang Ke'er. "Give Master Jiang your number. You can help each other after you become friends!”

Yang Ke'er was speechless and could only reluctantly take out her mobile phone from the bag.

After they exchanged the number, Yang Ke'er left with an excuse. Mrs. Yang greeted to Jiang Tao and kept on chitchatting with other acquaintances. But Jiang Tao stayed in the same place and stared at the back of Yang Ke'er with a sneer. She was very hot. Unfortunately, Shen Yan was the only one in her mind.

Jiang Tao saved Yang Ke'er's mobile phone number into the address book. Looking back, he saw Jiang An and Miss Dong being besieged by several reporters. It was still the old topic about their wedding date. Jiang An just smiled and did not give a positive answer. But Dong Qingyuan was more positive and directly said that it should be done this year.

The reporter asked a few questions later, all of which were replied by Dong Qingyuan. Jiang An just looked at them, holding a cup in his hand. Then he turned back and saw Jiang Tao, who was coming to him with a faint smile.

"Sister-in-law seems to be anxious. Is this a forced marriage?" He said while looked at Dong Qingyuan who was smiling with some shyness in front of the camera not far away from them.

Jiang An smiled coldly. "When did you start to care about my private life?"

"I care about it all the time. We are brothers after all!" Jiang Tao said and then looked up to see the entire venue. "My brother is so competent. You’ve made a project spring up which others were not optimistic about. And you can raise such a large sum of money. I’ve heard that your mother-in-law has contributed a lot!"

Jiang An didn't reply.

Jiang Tao continued his satire. "It's normal. You have known how to change your view according to circumstances and cultivate popularity since you were at a young age, just as your shameless parents. It's the same for the project. Spend some time in playing up to the second generation of officials, and then you can solve the follow-up financial problems."

Jiang An was fully aware of the ridicule in his words, but he was not angry.

Jiang Tao really hated his face, which was always expressionless. He snorted again and saw Dong Qingyuan walk over to them after she finished the interview. Then he reached out and took the shoulder of Jiang An suddenly.

"You must strive hard no matter how powerful the external assistance is. If your mother-in-law knows that you are a milksop, what will she think?"

The words were whispered to his ear, so people outside couldn't hear it. Jiang An's look suddenly turned gloomy. And out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Dong Qingyuan carrying her dress tail and walking over.

Jiang Tao loosened his shoulder suddenly and turned to Dong Qingyuan, raising the glass kindly. "Sister, I haven't seen you for a long time!"

Dong Qingyuan blushed as Jiang Tao called her sister directly. She was excited, but a little embarrassed in her heart.

"Brother Jiang, long time no see!"

Dong Qingyuan was too inexperienced to deal with reporters. She said the unsettled thing to the reporters. There would be full of the news of their impending marriage in newspapers and magazines. Had she discussed with her grandfather and her parents?

And had she said it to Jiang Family? Especially the grandmother of Jiang An was still alive. It was said that she was more intimate with Jiang Tao.

It was his grandmother who forced Jiang An's father to delegate the power to the young boys last time. Of course, her purpose was to make Jiang An's father delegate the power to her most beloved grandson, Jiang Tao. But things didn't go on as she had expected. Jiang An cut off finally.

She was not happy about it. But it was her suggestion and she must accept it. She could do nothing but to watch Jiang An rise to power. It was said that they were picking a hole. So, what Dong Qingyuan said today might cause a big storm in Jiang Family.

At this time, Jiang Tao was also suspected of making mischief. Xia Yu could not remain indifferent, so she rushed over. "Qingyuan, aren't you a fan of Wen Xiaoqian? It is a rare chance that she is here today. Why not go to take a photo with her and ask for a signature?"

"Is it okay?" Dong Qingyuan's face radiated happiness. The purpose of her coming was to see Wen Xiaoqian. But she didn't want to go to bother her when she was surrounded by so many people.

"Of course, go. I will take you there!" Xia Yu nodded to Jiang An and Jiang Tao. Then she went to Wen Xiaoqian with Dong Qingyuan.

When there was no one, Xia Yu reminded Dong Qingyuan. "Silly girl. Are you so anxious to get married?"

"What? Jiang An has already proposed to me." Dong Qingyuan really wanted to get married. They had been in love for a long time, and their relationship was very stable.

"Then, have all of your parents met each other? And, has his family settled the date of your marriage?" Xia Yu asked.

"No." Dong Qingyuan had been going to tell them after some time.

"That's it. You said the unsettled thing in public. If you don't announce the date of your marriage in a few days, those gossip magazines will report that there is something wrong between you two." Xia Yu shook her head aside. Such a silly girl. Did she think that the person she was going to marry was a colleague in their office? He was Master Jiang, and those paparazzi could fabricate some news for him even if there was nothing wrong. What was worse, she just provided a topic for the reporters directly.

"Oh, I do not think of it." Dong Qingyuan also found out that she was really thoughtless just now after Xia Yu's reminding.

"Be sure to be careful next time." They came to Wen Xiaoqian while talking with each other. Dong Qingyuan greeted her in a hurry.

At this time, Yang Ke'er also walked to the side of Xia Yu. "It's such a massive event and your President hasn't appeared yet. Doesn't he neglect the guests?"

Xia Yu also knew that this lady came over for Shen Yan. She might lose her sleep tonight after going back home if she didn't see him. She smiled and said, "There are some other things to deal with in the company, but he will definitely come."

Would he definitely come? Half the time had passed. Yang Ke'er looked around and said. "By the way, sorry!"

"What?" Xia Yu did not understand it for a while.

"I apologize to you for what happened that night. It is true. No one forces me to come over." Yang Ke'er said. "You suddenly appeared in front of me that day, and I was so anxious before. I called Brother Yan and he did not answer my call. When you appeared, I thought it must be your idea. What’s more, you dressed like that, so I was so angry at that moment."

"Well, I accept your apology. Just like what you said, you are not intentional." Xia Yu smiled and said.

"All right, don't bear grudges against me." Yang Ke'er looked at Xia Yu.

"I don't have a good memory. Don't worry. I have forgotten it already." Xia Yu said. "Would you like to make a pinkie promise?"

"Xia Yu, you are too childish. OK, I believe you." Yang Ke'er smiled after hearing Xia Yu's words, and then she said. "So, we make a peace now. But you must tell me the truth. Is my Brother Yan hiding himself from me deliberately by not coming here?"
