Chapter 650: Intimidating My Wife

Rejected 99 Times, the Aloof Campus Belle Comes On Strong at Me, Jiang Muye

Boss Cutie

Leng Ruoli shook her head. "No need, I'll just take a taxi back. Isn't there a problem at the company? You should hurry over."

"How could I let you do that! No, I have to take you home. The company is important, but so are you." Jiang Muye's brows furrowed tightly as he spoke to Leng Ruoli.

"Then I'll go with you," Leng Ruoli said seriously.

"No, you're still pregnant, and the company is all hustle and bustle with so many things going on. I won't be able to look after you, and you'll just end up exhausted." Jiang Muye wanted to focus on handling company business, not get distracted over Leng Ruoli.

If he made Leng Ruoli unhappy, he would blame himself too.

"Then what's the problem? Just tell me right away if something comes up," Leng Ruoli said worriedly.

"Fine, then eat quickly, and I'll take you back."

"I'm not eating, we're going back now." Leng Ruoli shook her head.

"But…" Jiang Muye still had some misgivings.

"There's no 'but.' There's no time to lose." Leng Ruoli knew how serious the situation was, and this was no time to let emotions get in the way. "You really don't need to take me back."

"Then I'll have the driver come pick you up." After all, they were heading in two different directions, and to avoid wasting time, Jiang Muye could only notify the driver to come over.

The driver arrived quickly, and Jiang Muye instructed him, "Take Madam home. Drive carefully the whole way, and don't let anything go wrong."

"Understood, you can rest easy on that." The driver smiled at Jiang Muye.

A trace of tenderness flickered in Leng Ruoli's eyes as she said to Jiang Muye, "You drive carefully too. Don't run any red lights just because you're in a hurry."

"Okay, I know." Jiang Muye nodded, obediently following Leng Ruoli's words.

He personally opened the car door for Leng Ruoli, and she got in. She waved at Jiang Muye reluctantly.

Jiang Muye was loath to let her go, but there was nothing he could do. Of all times, something had to go wrong right at this critical moment.

After watching Leng Ruoli leave, Jiang Muye headed to the company without a moment's pause.

He still had more important matters to deal with.

Jiang Muye soon arrived at the company, where everyone on site was already run ragged.

When the secretary saw Jiang Muye, she was so anxious she was on the verge of tears. "You're finally here! CEO!"

Jiang Muye asked in a low voice, "What exactly happened with Shareholder Fang?"

"The news broke today. Shareholder Fang is now suspected of organizing illegal gambling activities to seek personal gain, and even using the Chen Clan's name to run cross-border gambling in Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan. He also provided loan sharking and has multiple deaths on his conscience. He's already been taken away!"

Jiang Muye had been preparing to go get the marriage certificate with Leng Ruoli, so he hadn't watched the news.

But he had never imagined things would develop into such a state.

This was indeed very serious.

Originally, since it was Shareholder Fang's personal conduct, the Board of Directors could simply fire him.

But Shareholder Fang had been far too ostentatious, using the Chen Clan to stir up trouble. That naturally meant skirting the edge of the law the whole way, and now that he'd been caught, the Chen Clan had been dragged into it too.

Jiang Muye said through gritted teeth, "Pull the trending topics now to avoid a second wave of fermentation. We absolutely can't let this matter grow even more influential."

"Yes." The secretary nodded and went to handle it.

Jiang Muye still had to deal with the company's affairs, big and small, and clean up Shareholder Fang's mess along the way.

This matter was indeed very serious in its impact, and had already damaged the Chen Clan's reputation.

In particular, reporters were gathered downstairs around the company, just wanting to see Jiang Muye, waiting for him to speak out.

When Jiang Muye came downstairs with his secretary, the reporters charged forward at once, cameras and microphones in hand.

"Hello, CEO Jiang. What is your view on the illegal and disorderly conduct of a shareholder under your banner?"

"Many netizens think the mastermind behind the scenes is the Chen Clan, that the Chen Clan was egging Shareholder Fang on the whole time, and they're even hinting that you knew about it and tacitly approved of what he was doing, and that he's now just a scapegoat you pushed out."

"CEO Jiang, don't go. You should make things clear. Now that Shareholder Fang is in trouble, is the Chen Clan still going to bail him out?"

The camera flashes kept flickering, and microphones kept being shoved toward Jiang Muye's mouth.

Jiang Muye said with an ashen face, "That was his personal conduct, not something the Chen Clan instigated. Don't believe rumors, don't spread rumors. Whoever continues to slander online will be hearing from our lawyers."

Those words cowed everyone present.

But the reporters were not about to let it go, and asked Jiang Muye even more questions.

It was only under the protection of security that Jiang Muye barely managed to get into the car.

Outside, the reporters were still frantically pounding on the windows and doors, clearly wanting Jiang Muye to make a statement.

The secretary began helping Jiang Muye smooth things over outside. "Our CEO will hold a press conference and explain everything clearly then. Sorry, everyone, we're very busy with work, please don't obstruct official business."

The car had already driven off, and only then did Jiang Muye escape the predicament.

Without that noisy, clamorous atmosphere, Jiang Muye's body and mind slowly relaxed.

He really was tired, so very tired.

A whole day of work, a whole day of rushing about, and after getting off work he still had to deal with these troublesome reporters.

And there was a lot of criticism online, some people even cyberbullying him and cursing him along with it.

Jiang Muye felt that even with the System, his physical strength was nearly exhausted.

It wasn't physical, but purely mental and emotional exhaustion.

After the driver brought Jiang Muye home, the previously exhausted Jiang Muye saw the little warm lamp still lit in the villa and suddenly felt warmth.

No matter how utterly worn out he was outside, seeing that one lit lamp made him feel as if the whole world had lit up.

Jiang Muye walked into the house.

And then he discovered the girl sleeping on the living room sofa.

Her seaweed-like golden hair spilled across her shoulders, carrying a touch of adorable naivety, her looks completely like a sleeping beauty's.

She could be considered very beautiful.

One look made a person want another.

Looking at her, Jiang Muye's eyes turned gentle, and his original pressure vanished all at once.

It was just that sleeping on the sofa like this was too tiring, wasn't it?

She couldn't even stretch her body out.

Especially since she was so tired and pregnant too, she should be lying in bed.

Jiang Muye immediately walked over, and just as he was about to pick Leng Ruoli up, she slowly opened her eyes.

Leng Ruoli didn't know whether it was his footsteps that had disturbed her, and she gazed at him with sleep-clouded eyes.

Jiang Muye's heart trembled along with it.

He stared at her in astonishment.

Leng Ruoli's red lips parted slightly. "You're back?"

"Yeah, you're sleepy, right? Go upstairs and sleep. Don't sleep in the living room, what if you catch a cold? It's only just the New Year, the weather's cold." Jiang Muye coaxed Leng Ruoli.

Leng Ruoli said guiltily, "Sorry, I fell asleep."

"Silly, you're pregnant now, isn't it normal for you to fall asleep? What is there to apologize for? Rather, don't wait up for me, it's very late now." Jiang Muye gave Leng Ruoli a small scolding.

He wasn't actually being fierce, just trying to intimidate Leng Ruoli so she'd know not to wait up for him in the future, and to sleep when she should.
