The Ex-Wife Of A Wealthy/Powerful Family Tempts Me To Treat Her Badly/Betray Her - Chapter 10

Chapter 10: They Have Fate

Jiang Yu quickly reviewed Rong Wei’s question in her mind.

She had a subtle feeling about the tone.

She looked at Rong Wei calmly. At this moment, they were so close that she could see the fine hairs on her face. The dim environment gave her an unreal, illusory feeling, like an intoxicating dream.

However, Jiang Yu looked at Rong Wei and subtly shifted backward a bit. She extended her right hand, placing her finger just below Rong Wei’s collarbone, gently tapping it. Her voice was unhurried: “The third time?”

Jiang Yu didn’t use much force; her soft fingertip felt like smooth silk.

Rong Wei’s gaze naturally fell on Jiang Yu’s finger.

For the gala, she was dressed formally, the jewelry on her hand now a round, brilliant-cut purplish-pink diamond, surrounded by clustered colorless diamonds.

It was bright, bold, and suited her well.

Perhaps because she didn’t hear a response, Jiang Yu seemed to get irritated, using a bit more strength to gently push her again.

Rong Wei chuckled, her gaze landing on Jiang Yu’s wrist, and she asked in a deep voice: “Are you sure?”

That look was exceptionally intense. Though there was no touch, it seemed to convey an unusual sense of intimacy.

Like the switch to some Pandora’s Box, the tropical cyclone of storm raged even stronger at this moment.

Jiang Yu leaned closer to the woman’s neck until her lips were very near the skin of Rong Wei’s neck, almost touching.

“What is it? Is there some etiquette about how many times we’ve met?”

The tone of her voice was raised, carrying a hint of provocation.

Rong Wei chuckled without speaking, but in the next second, she spoke in a light, effortless tone: “Just a whim, my dear model Miss.”

Jiang Yu nodded, agreeing with Rong Wei’s explanation.

The lighting in the car was dim. In the faint light, a thick ambiguity flowed.

The moonlight outside poured through the sunroof, quietly shining upon the two of them.

The car drove smoothly, but Jiang Yu and Rong Wei maintained their previous posture, letting each other’s breath warm their necks, neither pulling away.

In this intimate yet still bounded proximity, Jiang Yu heard the woman’s voice.

“My name is Vevian, and my Chinese name is Rong Wei.”

Jiang Yu was suddenly taken aback.

Rong Wei?

Why was her name Rong Wei too?

A momentary flicker of doubt crossed Jiang Yu’s mind.

But she quickly analyzed and calmed down.

With so many people in the world, having the same name and surname was not uncommon.

Moreover, if they were the same person, how could they have gotten married in China?

How could someone like Rong Wei compromise her marriage for Jiang Yu’s small, personal gain?

Jiang Yu hummed softly, and a sense of mischief suddenly arose.

“Then we have even more fate. My ex-wife is also named that.”

Rong Wei, beside her, was silent for a moment. She just looked at her, then responded with a light laugh: “What a coincidence then.”

The road outside gradually brightened. The car passed through the overpass and had entered the brightly lit city area.

“Yes, this kind of fate is truly rare,” Jiang Yu followed up.

Who cares if they have fate or not.

At this moment, Jiang Yu was going to say they had fate.

Just as she was about to twist facts, a faint vibration came from her clutch in the quiet car.

Rong Wei glanced at her, then shifted her body. They returned to their original social distance.

Polite and restrained.

Jiang Yu took out her phone and saw the caller ID.

—Lin Yao.

Jiang Yu sat up straight and picked up the phone: “I need to take a call first.”

Lin Yao’s voice came through the phone.

“Boss Jiang, there’s a problem with Zhou Zhou Jie…

Just ten minutes ago, news of her plagiarism broke out online. What do you think, should you…”

Jiang Yu subconsciously frowned, covering her forehead with her hands.

“Half an hour. I’ll contact her and then give you an answer.”

Jiang Yu quickly hung up and looked at Rong Wei.

“Something you need to handle?”

Jiang Yu vaguely hummed, clearly indicating she didn’t want to elaborate.

“I’ll have you dropped off,” Rong Wei said, without pressing the issue.

Jiang Yu nodded. The jewelry box in her clutch was conspicuous.

She reached into her bag, ready to return the sapphire earrings to Rong Wei.

But Rong Wei spoke before her, saying softly: “Keep them for now.”

Jiang Yu was surprised. She turned to Rong Wei and teased: “You truly have deep pockets, are you giving up on sapphires of this quality?”

Rong Wei looked at her, her voice calm and steady: “Give them to me the next time we meet.”

“There’s going to be a next time?”

“Oh, I see. You still want to see me.” Jiang Yu quickly answered her own question, subtly observing Rong Wei’s reaction.

At this moment, Rong Wei was casually leaning back in her seat, legs crossed, in a relaxed and loose posture.

However, she didn’t answer whether she wanted to meet. Instead, she slowly countered: “Don’t you, Miss Jiang?”

Jiang Yu nodded, going along with it: “Of course, I do. Then I’ll hold onto your earrings for you. But whether or not I return them next time, the decision is mine.”

“No problem,” Rong Wei said indifferently, seemingly unconcerned.

Jiang Yu raised an eyebrow and smiled at Rong Wei: “Remember to pay my safekeeping fee the next time we meet.”

Half an hour later, Jiang Yu reached her destination.

The car door closed. In the back seat, only Rong Wei remained.

Scents linger much longer than people.

For example, right now, Rong Wei could still smell the residual fruit and wood fragrance in the car.

Rong Wei collected her thoughts, holding her phone, dealing with emails one by one, yet drifting off at certain moments.

The faint, lingering scent of fruit and wood seemed to remind her that someone had been sitting beside her just moments ago.

Rong Wei simply put down her work and looked at the spot where Jiang Yu had been sitting.

Actually, unlike her sister Rong Shi, that meeting at the climbing gym was not her third meeting with Jiang Yu.

She had seen Jiang Yu long before they got married.

…

The chapter ends with a surprising revelation from Rong Wei’s perspective!
