The Ex-Wife Of A Wealthy/Powerful Family Tempts Me To Treat Her Badly/Betray Her - Chapter 13

Chapter 13: “Hotel, are you coming?”

Jiang Yu tilted her head to look at Rong Wei.

She was standing under the moonlight, staring at her unblinkingly. Her cool, noble appearance made Jiang Yu want to tease her.

Jiang Yu narrowed her eyes and opened her mouth with a smile: “Tomorrow then?”

Rong Wei understood Jiang Yu’s playful tone. She raised her wrist, glanced at her watch, and chuckled softly: “Three hours from now?”

“In that case, you’ll probably have to come with me.”

Jiang Yu raised an eyebrow and immediately refused: “Forget it, I won’t disturb your work.”

“Let’s wait until we have plenty of time before meeting again.”

In the middle of their conversation, Rong Wei’s black business car appeared before them.

Jiang Yu didn’t say anything more. Before anyone noticed, she planted a quick kiss on Rong Wei’s face: “See you next time then.”

Rong Wei showed no surprise at Jiang Yu’s sudden kiss. She maintained her usual composure and calmness, simply stating: “Alright.”

…

Jiang Yu arrived home forty minutes later.

She was a clean person. Upon reaching home, she walked into the bathroom, preparing for a bath.

Perhaps the water temperature was just right today. In the tub, Jiang Yu felt a rare sense of refreshment.

Or rather, she was exceptionally clear-headed at this moment.

She took out her phone to handle matters concerning the clothing company’s location selection and the signing of new models.

After finishing all of this, she got out of the bathroom and put on her loungewear. It was already past eleven in the evening.

Jiang Yu stretched, preparing to go to bed, when a video chat invitation popped up on WeChat—it was from Jiang Nansheng.

Jiang Yu’s finger paused on the screen. She walked to the bedroom window and answered the call.

Jiang Nansheng was likely still in China, where the sky was still bright. She had beautiful black hair, a gentle demeanor, and a particularly approachable appearance.

She just watched Jiang Yu on the screen and didn’t speak immediately.

It was Jiang Yu who spoke first: “Sister Nansheng, good evening.”

Jiang Nansheng curled her lips and smiled, saying: “Good evening.”

“I just wanted to remind you that you haven’t sought me out for a while now.”

Jiang Yu was silent for a moment, feeling a little guilty, and didn’t speak right away.

She and Jiang Nansheng met three years ago. At that time, her psychological state was poor. While taking medication, she also booked psychological counseling, and Jiang Nansheng was her therapist.

Jiang Nansheng had advised her to take time off work and rest for a period.

This was what led to Jiang Yu returning to China for more than half a year.

Setting up the company was a relatively insignificant matter during that time.

Now, a few years later, Jiang Yu’s overall condition had largely recovered, but when she occasionally felt down, she would opt for psychological counseling.

However, since the encounter with Rong Wei at the climbing gym, Jiang Yu’s frequency of psychological counseling had significantly decreased.

Jiang Yu pursed her lips and spoke: “I’ve been feeling pretty good lately.”

Jiang Nansheng raised an eyebrow, carefully observing Jiang Yu on the video call.

Indeed, Jiang Yu’s overall mental state looked much better than a few years ago.

At least she was no longer sickly and listless.

Furthermore, today, she seemed to possess an extra vitality, looking like she was in a very good mood.

Jiang Nansheng didn’t know what had happened, but seeing with her own eyes that Jiang Yu’s condition was improving, her concern lessened considerably.

She wouldn’t pry into her patient’s privacy. Jiang Nansheng considered her words before speaking: “It’s good that you’re doing well. I should congratulate you.”

Jiang Yu smiled and said to Jiang Nansheng: “Thank you, Dr. Jiang.”

“I know myself. If the situation isn’t right, I will come to you.”

Jiang Nansheng nodded. This call ended more quickly than any previous one.

The room was unusually quiet.

Jiang Yu returned to the bedroom and lay down on the bed.

She had expected to suffer from insomnia due to being overly excited today, but in fact, she fell asleep very quickly and slept soundly.

The morning after a good night’s sleep naturally brought full energy.

She roughly knew why she had slept so soundly, so she took the initiative to send a message to Rong Wei, the source of her good mood.

Rong Wei was probably very busy with work, as she didn’t reply immediately, but Jiang Yu didn’t mind.

Because her own work had also become busy again.

The conditions of the new models in the company were excellent. One major show made one of them instantly popular, immediately receiving invitations from countless magazines and major brands.

Lu Linqiao was busy dealing with the older staff at Ador, so Jiang Yu took the time to personally handle the negotiations and be present, keeping her busy for a long time.

Frankly, Jiang Yu enjoyed this feeling of busyness. During the working days, she barely thought about Rong Wei, and Rong Wei’s work was likely just as demanding. Neither of them contacted the other, as if they had both forgotten about the other.

Tonight, Jiang Yu’s work continued; she was having dinner with the model and the magazine editor-in-chief.

While waiting for the editor-in-chief, Jiang Yu inexplicably recalled the taste of kissing Rong Wei. She opened WeChat and scrolled to Rong Wei’s chat box.

【Busy lately?】

This time, the reply interval was shorter. Ten minutes later, Jiang Yu received a message from Rong Wei.

【A little. Was on a business trip, currently at an engagement.】

Jiang Yu replied with a simple “Oh.” Just as she was about to say something more, a woman in her early fifties, elegantly and generously dressed, walked in through the entrance.

It was Ms. Smith, the editor-in-chief of Figer magazine, a Frenchwoman.

She elegantly extended her hand and apologized with a smile: “Sorry to keep you waiting. I just ran into a daughter of an old friend and chatted for a couple of extra minutes.”

It was only just the agreed-upon time, so Jiang Yu naturally didn’t say much. She simply stood up and greeted her politely. The group sat down together.

Dinner with Ms. Smith was over more than an hour later. The business was concluded. After seeing Ms. Smith and the model off separately, Jiang Yu was the last to leave.

It was another dim night. Jiang Yu stood at the entrance, handed her car key to the attendant, and asked her to bring the car over.

She stood aimlessly at the street corner. Suddenly, she glimpsed the figures of three or four people near the entrance.

Without exception, they were all dressed exquisitely and appropriately.

Jiang Yu wore contact lenses and spotted Rong Wei instantly.

Rong Wei was the youngest person in the group, but she didn’t appear inferior to the others. Furthermore, her every gesture exuded a sense of calm and composed ease that commanded respect.

On that side, the group gradually dispersed. Rong Wei also seemed to be waiting for her car.

Jiang Yu fiddled with her phone. The next second, their eyes met accidentally.

Jiang Yu raised her hand and walked towards her: “Is CEO Rong just finishing up work?”

Rong Wei nodded.

Rong Wei had known Jiang Yu was there when she was chatting with Ms. Smith earlier.

So, seeing Jiang Yu’s figure now, she wasn’t too surprised. She just replied with a subtle “Mm.”

Jiang Yu naturally moved to Rong Wei’s side: “Do you have any plans later?”

Rong Wei shifted her gaze, finally resting it on Jiang Yu. The look was not sharp, but it was so calm it seemed capable of seeing right through a person: “Why don’t you just say what you mean?”

“Hotel, are you coming?”

Jiang Yu didn’t hide anything and asked directly.
