The Ex-Wife Of A Wealthy/Powerful Family Tempts Me To Treat Her Badly/Betray Her - Chapter 17

Chapter 17: A Few More Times

It was bright inside the restaurant during the afternoon.

Jiang Yu lowered her eyes and suddenly noticed the snake-shaped diamond bracelet on her wrist.

At this moment, the green diamonds embedded in the snake’s head shone brightly, making them impossible to ignore.

She stroked the green stones on the snake’s head twice, thought about it, and cautiously spoke, “Actually, I do have intentions for a long-term relationship.”

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have easily accepted the diamond bracelet Rong Wei gave her.

After all, the price was considerable, and taking advantage of others was not her nature.

Lu Linqiao looked up at Jiang Yu again, concerned about her situation, and tentatively asked, “It sounds like you’ve already mentioned it to her?”

Jiang Yu was silent for a moment, then shook her head after a while.

Lu Linqiao looked surprised. Jiang Yu spread her hands, “No rush. Let’s spend some more time together first.”

After all, sleeping well and kissing comfortably once didn’t mean it would always be that way.

Jiang Yu wanted to sleep with her a few more times to ensure everything was foolproof before confirming the relationship when both parties were truly willing.

Lu Linqiao looked at Jiang Yu, roughly understanding her intentions. After sipping her coffee, she said, “As long as you have a plan in mind.”

Neither Jiang Yu nor Lu Linqiao had large appetites, and lunch was finished in twenty minutes.

Lu Linqiao had a meeting to attend in the afternoon, so she went straight to the venue after eating.

Jiang Yu had no outside appointments for the day and returned directly to the company after lunch.

Days at the company were always similar. Jiang Yu finished a video conference with Eager’s fashion director in her office and then found the show producer to confirm the dates for the reality show participation of her other models.

After finishing a series of trivial tasks, Jiang Yu snapped back to reality, ready to leave work. The sky outside had already completely darkened.

She checked her watch again and saw that it was already ten o’clock at night; it was time to go home.

Jiang Yu’s mental state had been good all day, and she felt energetic in her work, but perhaps she had expended too much physical energy last night.

On her way back, Jiang Yu was in a state of drowsiness until her phone vibrated, jolting her awake.

Her job was special, so she often did not set her phone to silent mode.

Jiang Yu immediately became fully alert, opened her phone, and clicked on WeChat, finding a message from her assistant.

【CEO Jiang, the divorce compensation you proposed for Ms. Rong was deposited into her account today. Here is the transfer detail.】

Below was an image, which contained a successful transfer notification.

Jiang Yu replied with “Okay,” exited the chat page with Lin Yao, and clicked into the conversation box with her wife, Rong Wei.

【Apologies for the intrusion, the divorce compensation has been transferred to your account. Please check it at your convenience.】

It should be lunchtime in the country right now, and Rong Wei might be free. Jiang Yu had barely put her phone down when she received Rong Wei’s reply.

【No need.】

Rong Wei didn’t offer a reason, and Jiang Yu was too lazy to guess. However, she couldn’t help but feel a little surprised. After all, there was probably no one in this world who didn’t like money, and no one who wouldn’t bat an eye at a few million.

She had questions and, for the first time, communicated closely with Rong Wei on WeChat for a period of time: 【Are you sure?】

However, at this point, Rong Wei might have finished lunch and be on her way to work. For a moment, Jiang Yu did not receive a message from Rong Wei.

…

In reality, when Rong Wei received Jiang Yu’s message, she had just come out of the bathroom after taking a shower. She replied to the message and felt thirsty, so she took her phone and went to the main hall to get water.

She saw the message from Jiang Yu and was about to reply when her sister, Rong Shi, who had just returned home and was slightly tipsy, walked up to her.

Her sister was an adult, and Rong Wei rarely interfered with her social life, but seeing her return in this state, she instinctively frowned and asked, “How much did you drink?”

Usually, a sober Rong Shi would answer Rong Wei’s question directly, but today, she ignored her sister’s concern and just smiled, asking, “Sis, when are you going back?”

Rong Shi had finished visiting her grandmother and attending all the fashion events she wanted. She found Li City boring and planned to return home tomorrow. The drinking today was because she had attended a party with friends.

“It will be a while. I still have things to deal with at the group headquarters.”

Rong Wei answered truthfully.

“You really work hard, my dear sister.”

“It’s nothing, I’m not working hard. You should go to sleep quickly,” Rong Wei replied expressionlessly.

Rong Shi let out an “awo” sound and continued cheekily, “I know, I just want to tell you to take care of yourself. Don’t work endlessly. Occasionally go out and relax.”

Rong Shi knew that her ability to recklessly pursue her dreams was entirely because her sister, Rong Wei, took on all the family responsibilities.

As the head of a huge multinational corporation, Rong Wei bore many inevitable responsibilities.

So she was very busy and had virtually no personal life.

She was very grateful to Rong Wei and had many things she couldn’t find a chance to say. After gathering with friends and having some drinks today, and with her return home imminent, her emotions were a bit high.

As she spoke, she was eager to hug Rong Wei.

Rong Wei keenly captured Rong Shi’s intention, gently hugged her, and after separating, smiled and said to Rong Shi, “Go back and be serious, prepare for your exams properly.”

“I know, Sister.”

“Sigh, I’m leaving tomorrow. I’ll miss you, and I’ll call you often.”

…

Although Rong Wei was touched, she didn’t want to talk too much with a drunk person. She stayed with her for a while, had her personal assistant bring a hangover soup, and after watching Rong Shi fall asleep, she drank her water and returned to her own bedroom.

Closing the bedroom door, Rong Wei walked to the small balcony, opened her phone, and looked down at the message from Jiang Yu, tapping the railing with her finger.

Then, she replied to Jiang Yu, typing: 【Confirmed. You keep it. This matter doesn’t need to be mentioned again.】

The conversation had reached this point.

A while later, Jiang Yu replied with “Okay,” and didn’t say anything else.

The chat box was empty, and the night became quiet.

The summer night breeze was warm. The extremely high floor offered no significant visual difference from the hotel floor last night.

However, most people in Li City were more relaxed, and their working hours weren’t too long. The view outside was actually not much different from what it would be at dawn last night.

She seemed to be contacting Jiang Yu more and more frequently these days.

Whether it was under the name of “wife” or a one-night stand whose relationship status was undefined.

Rong Wei suddenly felt a little emotional.

In the dark night, Rong Wei’s phone screen lit up again; it was another message from Jiang Yu.

She clicked into the message page, ready to see what Jiang Yu was sending her so late.

This was from her other WeChat account, and Rong Wei could actually guess what Jiang Yu was looking for her to do.

But when she clicked on the page and saw those few highly sensual photos, she was still slightly stunned.

She hadn’t expected Jiang Yu to send her such intensely alluring photos.

Another message from Jiang Yu popped up on her phone; this time, it was a voice message.

Rong Wei tapped it, and Jiang Yu’s voice came through her ear.

Her voice wasn’t coquettish; rather, it was very candid and directly laid out her intention: “CEO Rong, which set do you think looks better?”
