Chapter 237 - Jiang Li\'s Mysterious Appointment

Jiang Lanying froze and felt unable to speak. She had never visited Jiang Industries before. That\'s why he couldn\'t help but feel surprised by her presence.

Just then Jiang Weiyuan also came and saw Lihua and his daughter-in-law. "Lanying." ??

"Dad," she peeked at Jiang Li. "Li…"

"En. Why did you suddenly…"

Lihua quickly said, "I brought her here with me. I was getting bored at home so I thought to meet Wei and then I saw that Jiang Lanying was feeling bored too haha...So I asked why not go together? Plus, it would be a good chance for her to see where you work too, right?"

Jiang Li glanced at her.

Jiang Weiyuan raised his brow and after their conversation that night, he definitely knew that something was up.

"Indeed. It\'s good to see Lanying here."

Jiang Lanying softly smiled. "Thank you, Dad."

Lihua alternated her gaze between them and one thought struck her.

We can save spying for later. This is a good chance for…

"Jiang Li. Since she is here for the first time, won\'t you spend some time with her? Maybe show her your office and have lunch together!"

Jiang Lanying was a little shocked, but she quickly hid her expression.

Lihua nodded at herself.

It\'s a good chance for them to get closer.

Jiang Li stiffened. "I...I am sorry, but I have an important appointment."

He splashed ice water on Lihua\'s hopes. Jiang Lanying, who was a little hopeful, felt dismayed. Lihua obviously noticed her dimmed gaze and gritted her teeth in annoyance.

"Jiang Li, is that appointment really important? Jiang Lanying is here for the first time after all…"

Jiang Weiyuan narrowed his eyes as he stared at his son. "Li. Cancel whatever the appointment is. Lanying is more important than work," his tone was sharp as he said it.

"I-"

Jiang Lanying said, "No, No. Li doesn\'t need to cancel his appointment. It must be important after all. I only came here to accompany Lixue anyway."

Jiang Li curled his fingers into a fist. His gaze dimmed.

"I am sorry, Lanying."

She smiled. "You don\'t need to be, Li."

Jiang Weiyuan said nothing and simply left from which Jiang Li understood that he was really angry at him.

As they were left alone, Lihua fumed. "Now, we really need to spy on him! What work could be more important than you?"

Her phone buzzed and she received a message from Fu Renshu about Jiang Li\'s schedule. But she couldn\'t find anything that important. It was just a list of all his meetings for the day.

Lihua frowned.

There is nothing suspicious here…

She called him and asked, "Isn\'t Jiang Li heading somewhere outside for an important appointment?"

"No. Mr. Jiang Li doesn\'t have any business meeting scheduled outside today."

"Oh...okay then. Thanks."

Jiang Lanying asked, "What is it?"

"The appointment that Jiang Li was talking about isn\'t listed here. These are all regular business meetings. But from him, it sounded as if it was really important. He couldn\'t cancel it all. Alright! We have to tail him to know about it!"

She was a little anxious. "I don\'t think we should...What if he finds us and gets angry?"

"It\'s you who are supposed to be angry here," she sighed. "Because Jiang Li is refusing to communicate, we are forced to find about it on our own. You just glare back at him if he says anything!"

Jiang Lanying coughed.

After carefully following Jiang Li\'s car through the whole way, they finally arrived at a restaurant. They saw him stepping out and entering the restaurant.

"Come, come!"

They quickly stepped in too but keeping a safe distance between them and him. He took a seat at a table while Lihua chose an appropriate table that would help them listen in to his conversation. They had also changed their clothes and did a little makeup so that he wouldn\'t discover them.

They silently took their seats and saw Jiang Li waiting for someone. A few minutes later, they saw a woman approach his table who smiled at him. They shook hands and she sat opposite him.

Lihua wondered who she was. She was pressed and dressed really neatly. Jiang Lanying stared at them.

Lihua whispered. "Do you recognize her?"

Jiang Lanying shook her head. "I don\'t. I have never seen her before."

"I see."

At Jiang Li\'s table, the woman said, "How are you?"

"Get to the point," he coldly said.

She sighed. "So cold."

Lihua tried to listen in without being suspicious but she could only hear some whispers here and there. It was difficult to grasp the whole conversation.

They could hear the woman say, "...It\'s hard, Jiang Li. Everything...failed until now."

She frowned.

Failed what?

Jiang Lanying didn\'t know why but she could feel her heart racing faster.

Jiang Li had a grave expression on his face. "...Hm."

"...You still have that option I-"

"No," Jiang Li firmly rejected.

"...Jiang Li. How long are you going to hide from her?"

Jiang Lanying stiffened.

Her? Is she talking about me?

Jiang Li clenched his fist. "...I cannot tell her this…"

The woman said, "Don\'t worry, Jiang Li...I am with you."

Lihua coughed.

What is this woman saying? And I still don\'t understand who this woman is to Jiang Li?

They said something that she couldn\'t catch again. "We can tell her this together...she needs to know about this…You cannot...her in dark…"

Jiang Lanying clasped her hands together in nervousness.

What are they talking about? What is it that I should know about?

Jiang Li banged his fist on the table, making everyone\'s attention go to him for a few seconds. They whispered but quickly looked away.

Jiang Lanying jolted to see him so frustrated for the first time. Jiang Li was always so calm, but now…

"...I cannot say this to her. I won\'t!"

There was a hint of iciness in his gaze. "I will never let Lanying know about this. I just cannot!"
