Chapter 240 Miss him
Her face felt a burning pain and her whole body was numb and dazed. She stood silently by the river for a long time. After some ideological struggle, she wiped away her tears, came to Mengdu Residence, and walked around this empty and deserted room for a few times.
She walked rashly to the mirror. The red fingerprints were still on her face. She turned on the cold water and tried to wash them off, but they wouldn't come off. She pretended to be calm and went to the dressing table to carefully put on makeup in front of the mirror.
She put on rouge and powder on the red face until she was satisfied. She applied bright lipstick and changed into a satisfactory dress before she went out.
She felt extremely uncomfortable wearing high heels. She didn't know if being with him was the right choice. Perhaps she really needed to slowly adapt to being around him.
She knew that he was very busy these days. From the information he reported every day, she could see that he had been staying in South City. However, she still didn't want to call him actively. She came to Yunshang Garment Company with a sad and hazy heart.
When she arrived at the company's front desk, she was stopped and a young girl politely asked:
"Hello, who are you looking for? I'm not a company employee, please don't trespass."
She pursed her lips and smiled: "I'm looking for Lin Moxiao."
"Are you talking about General Lin?" the man asked.
"Well, find him."
"Okay, wait a moment, I'll call the office." He looked up and asked, "What's your name?"
"My last name is Jiang," she replied.
After a moment, the man smiled and motioned for her to wait in the office.
Just like before, those people stared at her in a creepy way, making her feel uneasy.
Once again in his office, a gentle boy brought her a cup of coffee:
"Hello, I am Assistant to General Manager Lin. Please wait here for a moment. He is in a meeting and will be here soon."
She politely took the coffee and the boy quickly walked out. She stood alone in front of the French window, looking into the distance, and suddenly realized why she came to find him. What should she say when she saw him? Should she ask him if he was still willing to marry her?
Was she telling him about what she had experienced today? Was she trying to win his sympathy? What on earth was she doing? She put the unfinished coffee in her hand back in panic.
She was panicked and sad at the moment. The breakup of her family and the loss of her marriage, did she urgently need to find a haven to retreat? Obviously, this was not the place for her to come. She thought it was not the place. After a few seconds of hesitation, she opened the door and walked out without hesitation. The uneasiness in her heart made her urgently need to find a quiet place to heal, but it was definitely not here.
''Shuya, Shuya.''
When she was walking in the corridor of the company and was stopped by Lin Moxiao, she stopped, looked back at him and forced a smile.
He walked up to her quickly and said, "Shuya, why didn't you call me before you came? Did you miss me because you haven't seen me these few days?"
As he said this, he pulled her wrist and wanted to hold her in his arms.
"Don't be like that. They're all watching. I'm fine. Go ahead and do your work."
Jiang Shuya helped him straighten his shirt and tie and found that he looked much more haggard, with obvious dark circles around his eyes. She tried her best to act natural.
Seeing her initiative to show goodwill, Lin Moxiao was delighted and said in a childish tone;
"You didn't reply to my message, which dealt an unprecedented blow to my self-esteem. You have to make it up to me when you get home tonight."
Jiang Shuya blushed when she heard this:
"Okay, I can satisfy you. Go ahead and do your work. Don't keep them waiting. I have something else to do."
She was about to turn around and leave, but he stopped her and stared into her eyes: "Do you have something to tell me?"
Lin Moxiao always felt that she was not simply thinking about him, but there was something else going on.
"You are dressed so beautifully today, are you really okay?"
Facing his affectionate eyes, Jiang Shuya suppressed her heartbeat and said calmly:
"It's really okay. I'm fine. I just came to see you. I had a nightmare yesterday and you were not around. I just came to see you."
At this time, the assistant came over:
"Mr. Lin, Mr. Xu is waiting for you in the office."
Looking at Jiang Shuya's receding back, Lin Moxiao felt an indescribable sadness in his heart:
She clearly has something on her mind, but she refuses to tell me. Am I so unworthy of your trust?
Jiang Shuya came out of the building and calculated the balance in her hand. After the demolition, she invested one million in the restaurant, gave 60 to Li Dalan, and transferred to Huang Minghao. She had less than left in her hand. But fortunately, she could go out for some fun.
When I arrived at the store, I packed some clothes, took my luggage, and planned a long journey.
She found Sun Qi and told her plan. She didn't want others to know that she was going away. Currently, there are three stores with a stable flow of customers. Every day, the menu for the next day is posted outside the store in advance to attract the curiosity of more residents in the surrounding area. The menu is also improved according to their preferences. Soon, Sun Qi found that many parents brought their children to the store to apply for cards, and the children would come directly to the store to swipe the cards to eat after school.
Jiang Shuya looked at the huge amount of food she was preparing every day and opened her mouth wide. "We have to make hundreds of dishes every day. Can we really sell them all?"
Sun Qi nodded and scratched his nose:
"Some of the most popular dishes can only be sold for one meal, and there will be little left in the afternoon. However, our quantity is not large, and Xiaohui has always been reluctant to use the big pot to serve the dishes, insisting on frying them one by one, which is the most tiring for them, so I gave them some extra bonuses in the past two months."
"Of course, just do what she wants. I am an outsider when it comes to cooking and have no right to comment on it. I have no objection to giving them a raise." Jiang Shuya said as she found herself a little hungry. After returning from Lin Moxiao's place, she had been planning where to go for fun.
Sun Qi rubbed his hands together, looking a little nervous. Jiang Shuya had already picked up the tray, selected a few dishes, and started eating.
"Sister-in-law, let me tell you something. I heard that Huang Tao is back, but I haven't seen him yet. Because of the demolition, his father seems to have contacted him. I'm afraid he will retaliate. You must be careful recently."
Hearing this name, Jiang Shuya almost dropped the chopsticks in her hand and opened her eyes wide:
"Then shouldn't the Jiangdao Public Security Bureau arrest him? We should call the police right away."
Sun Qi shook his head, "He is very cunning. The police heard about it and launched a search in Jiangdao, but found nothing. I heard that Brother Hao is also looking for him recently. Now the first batch of Jiangdao has been demolished. I suspect Huang Tao may be secretly living in a very secret corner, or in an illegal building in the ruins."
Jiang Shuya carefully searched Huang Tao's memories of his previous life. She tapped the table and said:
"I know where Huang Tao is hiding. I wonder if many of the graves on the hillside near the reed marsh by the river have been moved. There are now many potholes there. Some of the graves are so big that they can hold several people. I can provide this clue to the police."
