Chapter 276: 269: Begging for Joy (Second Update) Chapter 276: 269: Begging for Joy (Second Update) Wen Changling saw Yu Qiang again at a business dinner, where she was clad in an expensive haute couture gown, effortlessly charming as she accompanied the brand, a far cry from the woman in the hospital who tearfully asked if Jiang Chengxue had ever loved her.

Wen Changling couldn’t be bothered with networking and followed behind Fu Ying.

The Chief Technical Officer of Huaqi Technology and Director Fu of Paimei Group were now openly close friends, it wasn’t a secret anymore. Paimei Group was formerly Zhou Group, which Fu Ying had now completely taken over and renamed. All those Zhou Family relatives who had been eagerly waiting for their share had become ostriches, extremely well-behaved, because after all, they knew that only Fu Ying could steer the old Zhou Family’s ship.

“Miss Wen,” Yu Qiang approached Wen Changling, “may we have a word?”

Wen Changling nodded at Fu Ying and followed Yu Qiang out of the banquet hall to the hotel’s rooftop terrace.

Various drinks adorned the tables on the terrace, and Yu Qiang offered Wen Changling a blue drink. She gently refused with the excuse that she didn’t drink alcohol, “Miss Yu, do you know me?”

Holding her drink, Yu Qiang took a sip herself, “I’ve heard of you,” she said. “Thank you for the flowers, I received them.”

“You’re welcome.”

During Yu Qiang’s hospital stay, Wen Changling had sent her nine hydroponic hyacinths without leaving any message. She must be a very detail-oriented person: she had investigated the flowers she received.

Then, she must also know that those flowers symbolized rebirth.

“What kind of person do you think Jiang Chengxue is, in your eyes?” Yu Qiang started the conversation about Jiang Chengxue.

She was smart, and Wen Changling’s first impression of her was favorable.

Wen Changling replied, “A villain.”

She laughed lightly, “Indeed, he is.” Her thin gown let her feel the cold, as her eyes and nose turned red, with the bandages on her wrist yet to be removed, her delicate bones as if they could snap in the wind, “But I will never betray him, never.”

Her words were firm and without regret.
