Chapter 149: A Lingering Specter

That night.
Incredibly passionate.
Waking up in the morning.
Li Jiuwei dressed with her back to Feng Su. "I have things to do. I’m leaving first."
"Weiwei... you’ve had your fill of me, and now you’re just leaving?"
"You didn’t lose out."
Feng Su clutched the quilt, his expression mournful, looking exactly like a respectable man who had been ravished.
Li Jiuwei left without even looking back.
He lowered his head to look at his own body, where bite marks and tooth impressions were numerous.
Sigh, a jealous woman is truly formidable!
Feng Su felt quite content.
Dressed neatly, Feng Su headed to the office. On the way, his mind kept wandering back to what happened three years ago.
He had sent people to look for the person from that night, but there had been no news, and later he stopped pursuing it.
Ye Chu’s words had reminded him.
He should find that woman this morning and send her away, to avoid her becoming a ticking time bomb between him and Li Jiuwei!
Feng Su sent people to search.
As for once she was found, he would pay her off and send her abroad.
There must not be even the slightest issue between him and Li Jiuwei.

-

After finishing a meeting, Li Jiuwei was instructing Zhang Bing on how to handle some issues.
There were many potential partners currently being considered.
"Director Li, the Jiang family is among them." Zhang Bing pointed to a line on the list.
One could tell with their eyes closed that this was Jiang Huaiting’s doing!
She had refused repeatedly, but the Jiang Corporation had not given up.
She had already made herself very clear.
Yet Jiang Huaiting acted like a deaf man, persisting in his own way.
"Cross them out."
"Very well, Director Li. This cannot go on; people from the Jiang side contact us frequently, wanting to reach a partnership." Once Zhang Bing mentioned this, it was clear she was also deeply bothered by the Jiang people.
She hoped Li Jiuwei could resolve this once and for all.
Otherwise, there would be more trouble later.
Jiang Huaiting’s obsession remained.
He was becoming increasingly unhinged, acting as if he would stop at nothing.
Li Jiuwei sat in her office chair, her brows furrowed in deep thought.
"Has there been any movement from Jiang Huaiting when he contacts you recently?"
"His people call every day."
Zhang Bing reported every move the Jiang people made, afraid of any slip-ups.
"I see. Cancel the three o'clock meeting this afternoon." Li Jiuwei rubbed her temples.
"Understood."
After Zhang Bing finished speaking, she gathered her documents and left the office cautiously.
Just as she stepped out, she turned back.

"Director Li, it’s a call from Jiang Huaiting."
Li Jiuwei answered the phone, and Jiang Huaiting’s somewhat impatient voice came through: "Xiaojiu, I just want to make amends."
Hearing this, Li Jiuwei felt only disgust.
By what right did he think that just because he wanted to make amends, she would accept it?
Who did he think he was!
"I have already said it: there is no possibility between us. What is past is past. Jiang Huaiting, let the past remain in the past." Jiang Huaiting wanted to say something more, but the line went dead with a series of beeps.
Jiang Huaiting slammed his fist onto the table.
In this world, only Li Jiuwei was worthy of being his wife. Jiang Huaiting was unwilling to give up; he did not believe he could not have Li Jiuwei.
He would make everyone see clearly that Li Jiuwei belonged only to him, Jiang Huaiting!
"Prepare a gift immediately; I want to send it to Xiaojiu."
"No, I will deliver it myself."
"Director Jiang, the old madam asked you to return to accompany Miss Li Xinchun," the assistant reminded him.
Jiang Huaiting’s footsteps faltered, his lips pressed tight.
He had forgotten!
The incident between him and Li Xinchun that day was already known to both the Li and Jiang families.
Li Xinchun was not worthy of being his wife.
Jiang Huaiting’s eyes were cold; he knew that if he didn’t get rid of Li Xinchun, he had no right to stand before Xiaojiu.
