Chapter 97

Qiao Anhao knew that Lu Jinnian would be at Song Xiangsi’s birthday party . To avoid bumping into him, she naturally didn’t want to go .

However, Song Xiangsi came to invite her in person . If she wasn’t going to attend, she had to tell her that face-to-face . To set her up for an excuse, Qiao Anhao asked Zhao Meng to buy a Chanel bag without the tag to personally bring to the penthouse party .

Song Xiangsi’s room was number 1005, and she was the one to open the door . Seeing that it was Qiao Anhao, she cracked a smile and moved aside to let her in .

“Miss Qiao, please come in . “

“Stop it . ” Qiao Anhao laughed, then pulled out a bag and gave it to her . “I’ve been really busy and wasn’t able to get you a present . “

When Song Xiangsi saw the logo on the outside, she knew it wasn’t expensive, but she didn’t make a big deal . She generously accepted it .

“Thank you . “

Only then did Qiao Anhao reveal her true intentions . “Miss Xiangsi, I’m busy tonight, so I might not be able to attend your party . I’m so sorry . “

“It’s still early . We’re heading out later . If you’re busy, you can always come and leave earlier . . . ” strongly insisted Song Xiangsi .

Before Qiao Anhao could answer, a cold voice nearby suddenly spoke, “Song Xiangsi, I never knew that you had the tendency to push others . “

On hearing Lu Jinnian’s voice, Qiao Anhao subconsciously clutched at her clothes and tried to calm herself . In a low voice, she said, “Miss Xiangsi, I really have matters to attend to . My assistant is waiting for me . I’ll be leaving first . “

When she finished speaking, Qiao Anhao hesitated for a moment but headed towards where Lu Jinnian stood . She turned to him, her eyes lowered . Without looking up, she greeted him .

“Hello Mr . Lu . . . “

Before Qiao Anhao could finish, the door in front of her shut with a “bang” suddenly . She shuddered slightly, raising her head to see that Lu Jinnian’s door was tightly shut . She bit her bottom lip, forced a smile at Song Xiangsi, and said “Goodbye” before heading for the elevators .

–

That night, Song Xiangsi was walking with a glass of wine when she passed a quiet, desolate balcony . There, she saw Lu Jinnian smoking alone . She hesitated for a moment before coming over in her high heels and standing shoulder to shoulder with him .

Sensing that someone had come over, Lu Jinnian pinched his cigarette . He turned callously to find Song Xiangsi standing next to him, but he had no intention of speaking .

After so many years of working together, Song Xiangsi was well used to Lu Jinnian’s attitude . She didn’t mind them one bit and stood next to the balcony’s railing, staring up at the starry sky . She

took a sip from her wineglass . Then, as though to stir matters up, she said in a soothing voice, “Mr . Lu, lately your emotions have become unstable . It seems it’s all because of a woman . “

Lu Jinnian let out a grunt at her nonsense and turned to leave .

Song Xiangsi didn’t stop him but slowly and leisurely turned around, staring at his retreating back . She fearlessly continued, “And that woman seems to be Miss Qiao Anhao . “
