Official Career Storm-Chapter 1435

Despite feeling anxious and wanting to know what had happened to her daughter, the beautiful woman first poured Song Guanchao a cup of tea.

"Mr. Song, have some tea."

The beautiful woman bent over to offer the tea, her loose robe slightly draping down, revealing a hint of snow-white in the bright light.

Song Guanchao kept his eyes respectfully down, receiving the cup without letting his gaze stray.

Fortunately, the beautiful woman's thoughts were entirely on Jiang Yiren, and since Song Guanchao hadn't shown any particular reaction, it was only his side that felt awkward.

The beautiful woman returned to Jiang Yiren's side, about to inquire, when the middle-aged man who was making a call outside had finished his conversation.

He turned and walked into the living room, slightly surprised to see Song Guanchao and Jiang Yiren.

Immediately, his expression darkened.

"Mr. Song," the man maintained his composure.

Song Guanchao returned his greeting with a smile.

By this time, Jiang Yiren had already recounted the evening's events to the beautiful woman.

After listening, the beautiful woman was so angry that her body trembled.

"Jiang Zhengdong!"

The beautiful woman furiously said, "What is your family thinking? Is my daughter some kind of commodity to be traded?"

Jiang Zhengdong frowned, "What are you talking about?"

The beautiful woman stood up, agitated, "Do you know where your mother and your third brother took Yiren tonight?"

"They took Yiren to have dinner and drinks with the City Secretary! They want to offer your daughter to Zhou Zheng as a mistress!"

Jiang Zhengdong's eyebrows shot up, and he was silent for a few seconds in disbelief.

He looked at his tearful daughter, "Yiren, is this true?"

Jiang Yiren nodded while sobbing.

The beautiful woman sat back down, holding her daughter's shoulder, "From now on, whoever wants to go to the Jiang Family can go, but I will never go again, nor will my daughter!"

Jiang Zhengdong was silent for a long time and then said, "I'll take care of it."

The beautiful woman said nothing more.

By this point, simply venting her emotions wouldn't solve anything.

Anyway, she had already explained the situation.

No matter how Jiang Zhengdong choose to handle it, at least she and her daughter would have absolutely no further dealings with the Jiang Family.

She didn't care about the Jiang Family's money.

No matter how wealthy the Jiang Family was, as long as the Old Lady was alive, it had nothing to do with them.

Besides, she only had this one daughter, and with the Old Lady's favoring of sons over daughters, even if she died, the inheritance wouldn't be theirs.

Not enjoying any benefits, she almost ended up giving her daughter away.

"I'll go back for a bit," Jiang Zhengdong said, heading towards the hallway.

Suddenly, he stopped and looked at Song Guanchao.

Although he didn't speak, his meaning was clear.

He hoped Song Guanchao would leave.

After all, with him, the husband, leaving, how could he feel at ease leaving Song Guanchao alone with his wife and daughter?

Song Guanchao stood up, ready to leave when the beautiful woman said, "Jiang Zhengdong, what do you mean?"

Jiang Zhengdong looked puzzled.

What have I done now?

The beautiful woman said, "If it weren't for Mr. Song stepping in tonight and bringing Yiren back, your daughter would have already been sent to Zhou Zheng's bed! He hasn't even finished his tea, and you're already trying to send him away?"

"..." Jiang Zhengdong really didn't know about this, feeling a bit awkward, "Ahem, Mr. Song, please take your time with the tea."

Song Guanchao also felt a bit awkward, unsure whether to leave or stay.

"Mr. Song, don't mind him."

The beautiful woman patted Jiang Yiren, "Yiren, go wash up, so Mr. Song won't see you like this."

"Okay."

Jiang Yiren wiped away her tears, glanced at Song Guanchao, and quickly headed to the room.

She picked up her clothes and went into the bathroom.

The spacious living room suddenly had only Song Guanchao and the beautiful woman left.

The beautiful woman brought over a teapot and poured him some more tea.

"Thank you." Song Guanchao felt slightly uneasy.

Primarily because this woman looked so young.

Standing with Jiang Yiren, they didn't appear at all like mother and daughter, but more like sisters.

Moreover, her attire was exceedingly thin, the nightgown a strap style, with a very low neckline.

Yet her figure was remarkably impressive, and even without wearing a bra, she remained upright.

It's hard to imagine she's at least forty yet still so well-maintained.

"Mr. Song, thank you for tonight."

The beautiful woman sighed lightly, thinking about what might have happened to Jiang Yiren if not for Song Guanchao tonight, her heart filled with fear.

"Yiren and I are friends, it was nothing much."

Song Guanchao modestly said.

He had a good impression of this beautiful woman.

Noticing the late hour, Song Guanchao didn't want to overstay his welcome, and got up, "I should be going."

"Stay a bit longer," the beautiful woman said, though inwardly relieved.

Since Song Guanchao had helped her daughter, it wasn't appropriate to bluntly ask him to leave.

But sitting there together, the atmosphere was certainly awkward.

She got up as well, seeing Song Guanchao to the door.

Just then, Jiang Yiren's voice suddenly sounded from the bathroom, "Mom, come here for a moment."

She gave Song Guanchao an apologetic smile and walked to the bathroom door, "What's up?"

"Mom, come in."

The beautiful woman pushed open the door and went in, but came out shortly after.

Song Guanchao had already changed his shoes and was about to say goodbye and leave.

But he saw the beautiful woman coming toward him, "I just happened to need to go out and buy a few things."

Song Guanchao made an acknowledging sound, stepping back a few paces to give her space to change her shoes.

The beautiful woman opened the door, and the two of them stepped out one after the other.

Exiting the apartment building, Song Guanchao headed towards the parking lot, and the beautiful woman walked in the same direction.

Song Guanchao took out his car key, getting ready to leave when he saw a man step out of the car parked next to his.

The man walked directly over, which didn't immediately catch Song Guanchao's attention.

But then he saw the man went straight to the beautiful woman.

And the beautiful woman's expression changed instantly.

"Xiao Yu, what a coincidence, I was just about to call you," the man said with a smile.

The beautiful woman's expression turned anxious, stepping back slightly, softly saying, "Mr. Qin, what do you want with me?"

Mr. Qin glanced at Song Guanchao, just assuming he was a resident of the community coincidentally passing by.

"Let's discuss it in the car," Mr. Qin said, turning back to his car.

The beautiful woman hesitated for a couple of seconds, glanced at Song Guanchao, and felt profoundly ashamed upon noticing that he was also looking at her.

As if a secret had been discovered.

Song Guanchao's gaze was somewhat peculiar.

In the middle of the night, a man and a woman alone together... the scenario seemed a bit off.

However, the woman's reluctant appearance didn't look like she was being unfaithful.

It seemed more like she was caught in a dilemma, forced to compromise.

"Let's just talk here," Song Guanchao suddenly spoke up.

Mr. Qin stopped and turned back, sizing him up before asking the beautiful woman, "Xiao Yu, is this your friend?"

"No, he, he..." The beautiful woman wanted to explain but didn't know how to introduce Song Guanchao.

Song Guanchao didn't know what secret these two shared, but it was clear the beautiful woman didn't want to be alone with Mr. Qin.

He stepped forward, towering over Mr. Qin, "If you have something to say, say it here. Can't understand the words?"
