Mr. Liang, you mustn't covet other people's fiancées!

Wen Li snatched the phone from his hand, walked past him, and headed for the door.

Liang Chaoxu reached out and grabbed her wrist: "Did Jiang You say something to you?"

Wen Li paused, turned to look at him, and asked, "What is President Liang afraid of?"

"It's not what you think," Liang Chaoxu said softly as he approached. "I took Song Yu with me because..."

"jingle--"

Wen Li's phone rang.

She pulled her wrist away, grabbed her phone, and left the stairwell. Her voice drifted in before the door closed: "Senior, are you alright?"

Liang Chaoxu took a deep breath and exhaled forcefully, but the frustration in his chest did not lessen at all.

A moment later, he walked out of the stairwell and went to Jiang Gu's office.

Jiang Gu hung up the phone with his mother and turned around to see Liang Chaoxu already holding the project documents on his desk, leaning against the edge of the desk and flipping through them.

"Did you take a disguise course?" Jiang Gu walked up to him. "Why didn't you say you liked Wen Li sooner?"

Liang Chaoxu lifted his eyelids to look at him: "I never intended to hide it. You were only focused on bringing your brother and Wen Li together, so you ignored the fact that I was there."

Jiang Gu was speechless at his words, turned around and sat down in the office chair: "What happened at Jingchen Hall last night has caused quite a stir. Now everyone is saying that the Jiang and Liang families have ruined their years-long friendship over a young girl."

"Hmm." Liang Chaoxu looked at the project data carefully.

Jiang leaned back and closed his eyes.

Last night, my younger brother was forcibly taken home and he looked like this, and now Liang Chaoxu looks like this too.

Have they all gone mad?

"I've read it all, no problems." Liang Chaoxu placed the document in front of him. "Sign it."

Jiang Gu didn't move: "To avoid you and Jiang You causing even more trouble, I'll tell you about the situation on my side."

Liang Chaoxu raised an eyebrow: "I'm all ears."

"My mom was furious last night, and Jiang You was put in solitary confinement." Jiang Gu paused for a moment, then added, "My mom just called to ask me about Wen Li."

Liang Chaoxu immediately sensed something was wrong: "Is your mother trying to make things difficult for Wen Li?"

Jiang Gu shook his head: "It's not that it's difficult. She just wants to take advantage of the time my brother is in solitary confinement so that I can transfer Wen Li to the branch office."

"Where?" Liang Chaoxu asked.

"Alibaba changed its rules."

Liang Chaoxu frowned: "Shengjiang doesn't have a branch office at Alibaba."

Jiang Gu nodded: "It's a small company that collaborates with one of our subsidiaries."

"Gaize is located on the Tibetan Plateau in northern Tibet, where transportation is extremely inconvenient and natural disasters are prone to occur in both winter and summer." As Liang Chaoxu spoke, his worries intensified, and he straightened up, almost pressing for answers.

"The place Wen Li is going to is probably not even within the county, it might be even more remote. There won't be any villages or shops in sight. Even basic living needs might not be guaranteed. Isn't that a difficult situation?"

Jiang remained silent, looking at Liang Chaoxu, offering no reasonable rebuttal.

Liang Chaoxu stared at him for a long time, then sighed deeply: "Can you and Jiang You resolve this?"

"I think we should ask Wen Li first," Jiang Gu suggested.

Liang Chaoxu succinctly stated, "Actually, we all know that your mother will never let Wen Li off easily, no matter what."

He then became more serious: "Or perhaps I should ask this: can you help your brother deal with the pressure from your mother?"

Jiang Gu frankly expressed his thoughts: "As long as Jiang You and Wen Li have each other in their hearts, it's just a matter of waiting a little longer."

Liang Chaoxu laughed angrily: "If waiting were useful, why did you chase after Dali so recklessly in the first place?"

"Their situation is different from mine and Nan Wan's." Jiang Gu lowered his eyes.

"Forget it, I'd rather handle it myself than rely on you two brothers." Liang Chaoxu said, pointing to the documents on the table. "Sign them, I have other things to do."

"What do you want to do?" Jiang Gu asked.

Liang Chaoxu: "My affairs are none of your business. Just take good care of Jiang You and make sure he doesn't cause trouble for Wen Li."

Jiang frowned, picked up the pen, and signed.

He had heard everything from Aunt Yu about what happened last night. It was true that Jiang You hadn't made any preparations before bringing Wen Li to his mother, which led to the series of events that followed.

"Our two families did not allow this false rumor to fester and drive people to problems just because of the discord between Wen and Li," Liang Chaoxu said, extending his hand towards Jiang Gu.

"I hope we can work together to solve this, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble for everyone or hurt Wen Li."

Jiang understood, stood up, and reached out to shake hands in return: "Of course."

Both of them knew in their hearts who was behind this public opinion, but they tacitly kept quiet about it.

What happens at a gathering of prominent families is usually something no one dares to talk about. But if it gets widely circulated, it's definitely because someone wants to profit from it.

The Liang, Jiang, and He families are all involved, so naturally they wouldn't be foolish enough to lose face and hinder their own development.

Downstairs in the investment department, Wen Li returned to her workstation after finishing a phone call, looking preoccupied.

Jiang You kept insisting that he was fine.

If there's nothing wrong, why would you need to rest at home?

They must be afraid I'll feel guilty, that's why they didn't tell the truth.

Tian Miao didn't even look at her, and asked while handling her work, "Youyou, did you just see President Liang?"

Wen Li snapped out of her daze and turned to look at her: "How did you know?"

Tian Miao stopped what she was doing: "I went to the tea room to get some water and saw him at the elevator."

When I greeted him, he asked if I was in the office, so I casually told him that I had gone to the stairwell to make a phone call.

As she spoke, she pointed to the small handbag next to Wen Li's computer: "This is what President Liang asked me to give you. He said it contains medicine for rashes, and that you should use it on time and in the correct dosage."

Wen Li took a look and saw that they were all unopened. Feeling even more irritated, she casually put the bag into the storage box next to her seat, out of sight, out of mind.

Tian Miao glanced at it but didn't say anything more.

In fact, she had long been aware of the subtle relationship between Wen Li, Liang Chaoxu and Jiang You, but getting along with friends doesn't mean you have to pry into everything or tell them everything directly.

Her friend is Wen Li, and no matter what, she will only stand by Wen Li's side.

"Miaomiao, let's go to a quiet bar for a drink after get off work tonight." Wen Li rubbed her hair, looking irritable and depressed.

Tian Miao laughed: "Okay."

As Wen Li spoke, she remembered something and turned to rummage through her bag.

"Here you go." She handed the book to Tian Miao. "Miss He has already signed it for you. Take a look."

According to Jiang You, he asked He Yanxi to sign it when he and Madam Jiang left the teahouse last night.

Tian Miao smiled broadly: "When Vice President Jiang returns, I will definitely thank him properly."

At this point, Wen Li's eyebrows drooped again, her worry undiminished, and she replied listlessly, "Okay."
