Chapter 391 Guilt 1
Seeing that it was her mother's call, a gleam of joy flashed in her eyes, and she said softly.

"Jing Yuan, my mother is calling, I'll answer the phone first."

Cheng Jingyuan hummed indifferently, got up, came out from behind the desk, picked up the cup to pour water.

Xie Manxue pressed the answer button and called 'Mom' briskly.

"Manxue, are you busy now?"

On the phone, Mother Xie's voice came, listening, she was very happy and in a good mood.

A smile floated on Xie Manxue's face, and she looked gently at Cheng Jingyuan's handsome back standing in front of the water dispenser.

"Mom, I'm in Jingyuan's office now, what do you want?"

"You're in Jing Yuan's office, then did you ask him when will he call his parents and have a meal together?"

Mother Xie asked happily when she heard that she was in Cheng Jingyuan's office.

The smile on Xie Manxue's face disappeared, and she said awkwardly.

"Mom, I asked Jing Yuan, he's too busy these days, let's wait a few days."

Cheng Jingyuan took the water, returned to the desk, turned a deaf ear to Xie Manxue's words, and ignored her gentle eyes.

I don't know what Xie's mother said on the phone, but Xie Manxue's tone suddenly changed.

"Mom, what you said is true?"

After finishing speaking, she seemed to be aware of her gaffe, glanced at Cheng Jingyuan in a panic, then quickly averted her gaze, turned around, took two steps towards the French windows, and said with a concealed smile.

"...I'm so happy. I didn't expect to have a clue so soon. I asked Jing Yuan the day before yesterday, and he said that my uncle didn't remember anything..."

When Xie Manxue said this, she looked at the floor-to-ceiling window, on which there was a shadow cast by Cheng Jingyuan. Although she couldn't see his expression clearly, she felt guilty and didn't dare to turn her head.

Behind the desk, Cheng Jingyuan leaned back in the swivel chair, holding a cup in both hands, drinking water leisurely.

Her deep eyes stared sharply at Xie Manxue's back. Just now, her strange expression made him suspicious. When he heard her clearly talking about his uncle's car accident with her mother, the doubt in his heart became more intense. One point.

Xie Manxue's reaction, no matter how you looked at it, seemed guilty and scared.

But what did she have to be afraid of?

While talking on the phone, he didn't even dare to look at him. A certain thought flashed in his mind, and his eyes like pools suddenly became deep.

Could it be that she was related to my uncle's car accident.

He recalled what Jingyi told him when he went home last night that Black Hawk had already found out the type of vehicle. If he remembered correctly, Xie Manxue's car was in line with the type of vehicle involved in the accident.

Thinking of this, Cheng Jingyuan sat upright leaning against the back of the chair, leaned his upper body forward, and stared at Xie Manxue's back with his dark eyes, as if staring at prey.

After Xie Manxue finished talking on the phone, the hand holding the phone was already wet.

She took a deep breath, turned her head, but suddenly met Cheng Jingyuan's deep and sharp eyes, her heart trembled, she tried her best to stabilize her mood, pulled the corner of her mouth far-fetchedly, and asked.

"Jing Yuan, why are you looking at me like this?"

Cheng Jingyuan's pool-like eyes were as sharp as X-rays, he looked away from Xie Manxue's unnaturally smiling face, the corners of his lips curled slightly, and he said casually.

"It's nothing. Just now, I heard you and your mother talking about my uncle."

Xie Manxue secretly calmed down, the smile on her face was more sincere than before, she looked really happy, her tone was brisk.

"That's right, just now, my mother said that there are already clues to the uncle's car accident case, Jing Yuan, why didn't you tell me."

Cheng Jingyuan half-closed his eyes, and the corner of his mouth curled up into a half-smile.

Xie Manxue didn't know how to act, she smiled so fake, thinking that he would believe that she was really happy, he suddenly remembered that that morning, she called to ask about his uncle's situation, and asked if the driver who caused the accident had been found.

With her enthusiasm for him, she should visit the hospital immediately.

But she asked about the result, but didn't go to the hospital. He believed that it was not her idea that she went to the hospital with her mother yesterday.

"The case has only a little clue. The specific truth has not been found out yet. It is not too late to tell you after finding the driver who caused the accident."

Cheng Jingyuan's words carried a hint of gentleness that seduced people's hearts, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was shallow but charming, which made Xie Manxue fascinated for a while.

At this moment, she was sure that she fell in love with this man.

I haven't known him for a long time, but I am completely overwhelmed by his temperament and charm. At this moment, she can't even remember the appearance of her ex-boyfriend clearly, and her mind is full of things behind the desk. The man's handsome face.

Xie Manxue smiled again, bright and moving, she walked towards the desk and continued talking.

"My mother asked me to ask you, when you are free, treat your uncle and aunt to dinner, Jing Yuan, I think my mother likes you more than my daughter now."

Cheng Jingyuan lowered his eyes, the disgust flashed in his eyes, and then he raised his head, a slight smile floated on his handsome face.

"Another day, I'll talk to my parents later."

Having said that, he raised his hand again, glanced at his watch, and said to Xie Manxue.

"Wait for me for a few minutes. I'll take care of the work in hand and have dinner together at noon."

Hearing this, Xie Manxue's eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly. "Okay, Jing Yuan, don't worry, I'll wait for you."

"Ok!"

Cheng Jingyuan smiled slightly, picked up the microphone on the table, dialed the internal line, and gave orders into the phone.

"Secretary Zhang, come in."

After a while, there was a knock on the door outside the office, and then, Secretary Zhang opened the door and walked in. Cheng Jingyuan glanced at Xie Manxue, who was smiling brightly, and ordered calmly.

"Take Miss Xie to the lounge next door and make her another cup of coffee."

Xie Manxue was startled when she heard that, and wanted to say that she was waiting for him here, but Cheng Jingyuan gave her a gentle smile.

"Manxue, go next door and rest for a few minutes, I'll call you later."

I don't know whether it was his gentle Manxue voice that made Xie Manxue lose her heart, or the gentle and gentle smile on his face that captivated her soul, she nodded obediently, gave him a tender look, and left with Secretary Zhang office.

After the office door was closed, Cheng Jingyuan's dark eyes cooled down.

He leaned back into the swivel chair, and after thinking for a few seconds, he took out his cell phone and dialed a number.

Before the call was connected, a series of abnormal emotional episodes such as Xie Manxue's shock and guilty conscience flashed before his eyes when he was talking on the phone just now.

It wasn't until Chu Chu's brisk and soft voice came from his ear that he restrained his emotions, and a warm smile spread from the corner of his lips.

"Chuchu, do you have time at noon?"

"Brother Cheng, you won't invite me to dinner again!"

Chu Huan's voice was clear and sweet. Apart from her voice, there were also Ran Ran's and An An's voices on the phone.

He chuckled and said.

"You guessed it right, I want to invite you to dinner, no, to be more precise, I invite you and Mo Jinxiu, please yourself, I'm afraid he will be jealous again."

"Okay, if you invite him to dinner, he will be very happy. Brother Cheng, have you explained to Arlene that Xie Manxue seems to like you..."

For the sake of his invitation to dinner, Chu Huan reminded him friendly.

There was a trace of coldness in Cheng Jingyuan's eyes, and the smile on the corner of his mouth did not diminish, and he said gently.

"Chuchu, I invite you to dinner because of Xie Manxue. At noon, she will come with me."

"Ah, why, Brother Cheng, I really don't like that Xie Manxue at all. If I eat with her, I'm afraid I'll lose my appetite."

Chu Huan made no secret of her dislike for Xie Manxue, and she didn't blame her for not liking Xie Manxue. Just imagine, who can like a person who always regards himself as a rival in love and taunts Xuan Yao.

Yesterday, Xie Manxue's words in the ward were aimed at her, she and Mo Jinxiu both heard it, and Mo Jinxiu was very unhappy about it.

If he knew that he would have dinner with Xie Manxue, Jin Xiu might not agree.

Cheng Jingyuan frowned slightly. It seems that he is not the only one who doesn't like Xie Manxue, many people don't like it, but eighth, he wants more people to dislike Xie Manxue, especially his aunt and aunt.

"Chuchu, to tell you the truth, just now, Xie Manxue was in my office, talking on the phone with her mother. I felt that she was abnormal, especially in the case of my uncle's car accident. She acted a little out of control. I was thinking, would she Will be involved in my uncle's car accident."

"Really? Brother Cheng, are you sure it's not that you want to kill Xie Manxue too much, so you imagined that she has something to do with Uncle Jiang's car accident. If that's the case, then I'll go there at noon. Tell me which restaurant it is in."

When Cheng Jingyuan said this, Chu Huan naturally understood his intention, and asked her to help him find out if Xie Manxue was really related to Jiang Qingcheng's car accident.

"Chuchu, then I thank you first..."

Cheng Jingyuan made an appointment at the Chu Pavilion, where everyone was relatively close.

Finally he asked again.

"Did you call and tell Mo Jinxiu, or should I tell him?"

Cheng Jingyuan didn't forget that two days ago, Mo Jinxiu warned him that Chu Huan's help would have to be approved by him in the future. That man is arrogant and has a bad temper. Only Chu Chu can bear his share of possession. want.

Chu Huan said with a smile on the other end of the phone.

"Let me tell Jinxiu, see you in the Chu Pavilion later."

Chu Pavilion
When Cheng Jingyuan and Xie Manxue arrived, Mo Jinxiu and Chu Huan hadn't arrived yet.

He chose a seat near the window in the lobby on the first floor, which happened to be the seat where he and Chu Chu had dinner last time.

Xie Manxue was in a very happy mood, with a bright smile on her face, and tenderness in her eyes looking at Cheng Jingyuan, obviously she had been captured by him.

"Jing Yuan, what do you like to eat?"

Xie Manxue took the menu and did not order immediately, but looked at Cheng Jingyuan tenderly.

His tall body leaned against the back of the chair, his brows were clear and wide, and there was a slight smile on his lips. He was indescribably handsome and charming.

He only met her eyes when he heard her words, but it was just a glance, then he looked away without a trace, and said lightly.

"Wait a while before ordering."

Xie Manxue was slightly taken aback, and asked a little puzzled.

"Why do you have to wait a while? Could it be that there are still people? You didn't call your uncles and aunts, did you?"

It's no wonder she thinks this way, before in his company, she was talking about the meeting of the two parents, but now that he said this, she understood that he was going to give her a surprise.
