At the Monday morning meeting, the Operations Department Manager did not hide his praise for the joint project between Fang Yuan and Jiang Shiyu. Colleagues also applauded, and only Jiang Yurou glared resentfully at Jiang Shiyu.
Jiang Shiyu had apparently stumbled into some incredible luck to get a job at Lingsheng. From the moment she joined, she had been in the spotlight, basking in glory.
Ever since she moved into the Gu family five years ago, she had always been one step ahead of Jiang Shiyu.
Now, seeing that Jiang Shiyu was not only working at Lingsheng like herself but had also come up with such a brilliant proposal right after joining, Jiang Yurou clenched the pen in her hand tightly, as if she could snap it with a little more force.
Jiang Yurou felt uncomfortable whenever she saw Jiang Shiyu doing well.
As she listened to the colleagues' applause, Jiang Shiyu looked in a certain direction and saw Jiang Yurou's unhappy expression. Jiang Shiyu's lips curved into a wider smile. "Ning Rou, why do you look so unhappy?"
After Jiang Shiyu spoke, all the colleagues turned to look at Jiang Yurou.
"How could I… I'm of course very happy! Why would I be jealous of you!"
Jiang Yurou blinked, then quickly composed herself and forced a smile to explain.
"On Jiang Shiyu's first day, Jiang Yurou also said something sour…"
"Oh, really? Why does Jiang Yurou have such animosity towards an intern? She's also an undergraduate herself…"
Although the colleagues were speaking in hushed tones, Jiang Yurou caught snippets of their conversation, enough to make her feel embarrassed and her face turn ashen.
Looking at Jiang Shiyu, her lips were curved upwards, displaying the posture of a victor.
Jiang Yurou clenched her fists tightly, her fingernails digging in. The hatred in her heart surged to its peak.
Jiang Shiyu! Bitch! Bitch! Just you wait, I will definitely make your life miserable!!
After work, Murong Cheng came to pick up Jiang Shiyu. Jiang Shiyu was in a good mood and hummed a tune.
Jiang Yurou walked out behind Jiang Shiyu and her expression changed slightly when she saw Jiang Shiyu getting into a luxury car, a top-of-the-line Mercedes-Benz.
She knew it! How could Jiang Shiyu, an undergraduate, have gotten into Lingsheng? It turned out she had found a sugar daddy!
Heh! Jiang Shiyu, I've caught you red-handed!
Jiang Shiyu had just broken off her engagement with Su Jiamu and immediately found a sugar daddy. Perhaps she had dumped Su Jiamu because she found someone wealthier!
Jiang Yurou took out her phone, found Su Jiamu's number, and called him.
On the other end, Su Jiamu frowned after hearing what Jiang Yurou said.
"Impossible, you must have seen wrong!"
He had met Jiang Shiyu's husband. He said he was an office worker earning five thousand yuan a month. While five thousand yuan a month was not a small sum for ordinary people, it was insignificant for the wealthy. Jiang Yurou must have mistaken him.
He understood Jiang Shiyu's personality very well. Unless it was someone she had truly decided on, such a proud person would absolutely not compromise for wealth!
"You don't believe me? I'll send you a photo!"
Fortunately, Jiang Yurou had captured the moment Jiang Shiyu got into the car and sent it directly to Su Jiamu.
The photo showed Jiang Shiyu opening the door of the luxury car.
Su Jiamu's expression also turned grim when he saw this, but he quickly figured it out. "I have to go, I'm busy."
Murong Cheng must be a driver, driving his boss's car. This explained everything!
Jiang Yurou gritted her teeth and stared fiercely at the phone that Su Jiamu had hung up. He was truly useless! Since Su Jiamu couldn't be relied upon, she had to rely on herself. She was determined to find out who Jiang Shiyu's sugar daddy was!
"You don't know how ugly that old hag's face was…" Jiang Shiyu recounted the afternoon's events vividly, feeling incredibly satisfied.
Ever since Jiang Yurou moved into the Gu family five years ago, she hadn't had a single good day. The villa belonged to her mother, and the company belonged to her maternal grandfather. After her grandfather and mother died, she was forced to sleep in a small room that even the servants disdained.
Even worse…
When Jiang Yurou made a mistake and pushed someone down the stairs, causing them to be seriously injured, she was forced to take the blame!
And her biological father tacitly agreed to such an extremely unfair treatment!
Thinking of this, Jiang Shiyu's tears began to fall uncontrollably. Her eyes welled up with heat, and her nose felt sore as if it had been filled with vinegar.
"Swish—"
The car stopped abruptly.
The man got out of the car without a word. Jiang Shiyu, lost in her sorrow, only realized what was happening when the car window rolled down and an ice cream appeared before her. Then, a multitude of snacks rained down, candies and potato chips scattering across her shoulders and lap.
Clatter, clatter.
They fell all over her.
This happiness came a bit too suddenly…
Jiang Shiyu was completely stunned, staring blankly at the snacks in front of her, almost buried by them.
"Eating snacks when you're unhappy will make you feel better."
The man's deep, pleasant voice sounded, and then he picked up a piece of chocolate, broke off a small piece, and fed it to her.
The man's hands were very beautiful. Holding the white chocolate, his skin was even whiter than the chocolate. He fed it into her mouth along with his fingertips. The man's fingertips were a little cold, and Jiang Shiyu's mind went blank, forgetting the taste of the white chocolate.
The chocolate quickly melted in her mouth. Since it was milk chocolate, it was almost not bitter, only rich and sweet, sickeningly sweet. The feeling seemed to spread throughout her body in an instant.
Murong Cheng withdrew his hand that had been feeding Jiang Shiyu chocolate, glanced at his finger for a second, then brought it to his thin lips and sucked on it.
Jiang Shiyu's eyes widened abruptly, her cheeks flushing crimson. She covered her burning face. "Murong Cheng, you…"
"The chocolate is delicious…"
The sweet nothings that others would say, which sounded cheesy and cliché, sounded so pleasing coming from this man.
Jiang Shiyu lowered her head and took a bite of the ice cream. "It tastes good…"
The man chuckled, returned to the driver's seat, then grabbed the ice cream from Jiang Shiyu's hand and, without hesitation, licked the spot where she had eaten. "It really is good!"
He then handed it back to Jiang Shiyu.
Jiang Shiyu was a little exasperated. Looking at the ice cream in her hand, she swallowed. "How am I supposed to eat this!!"
"If I can eat your saliva, why can't you eat mine?"
"That… seems to make some sense…" Jiang Shiyu was almost swayed by Murong Cheng. Realizing what he said, her face turned red. She pinched her small fist and retorted fiercely, "Why should I eat your saliva! I'm not a pervert!"
"I heard that couples who kiss a lot start to look more like each other. Eating my saliva more will also have benefits!"
Murong Cheng's lips curved slightly. His well-defined hands rested on the steering wheel, while his other hand leaned against the car window, propping up his temple. His gaze flickered towards Jiang Shiyu, his peach blossom eyes filled with a smile, his gaze deep and captivating.
"That seems to be true as well…" Murong Cheng's words made Jiang Shiyu feel like she was getting a good deal, as if eating Murong Cheng's saliva would indeed enhance her appearance.
Seeing the woman nod dazedly, the curve of Murong Cheng's lips widened.
