Chapter 214 - "The Civil Affairs Bureau is still open right now." (3)
Per their customs, they would worship their ancestors first before they have their New Year Eve meal.
Gu MingLi, on the other hand, was reluctant to waste another minute after waiting 30 years for the opportunity to be with her lover in the open. And, truth be told, she did have a little bit of a guilty conscience for cheating on her late husband and was not really keen on going to visit him.
“I have already visited your dad already.” She didn’t, but that didn’t stop Gu MingLi from saying it. Her voice sounded weak from the other end of the phone and, coughing a little, she said to her son, “It’s not that I want to take off during this time. I really wish the two of us can spend New Year Eve together but you know how bad the air will be around New Year time. The doctor said it will be bad for my health and that I should leave as soon as possible. Staying behind for longer will be detrimental to my health.”
Jiang MingYuan looked colder and colder as she talked. With a sarcastic smile on him, he said in his ice-cold voice, “Ok, I get it. I am going to be busy around New Year time so I wish you a quick recovery.”
“It’s fine. Just take care of yourself is all I am asking for.” Naturally Gu MingLi didn’t want him to go with and what he said had pleased her greatly. She quickly said a bunch of sweet words to show her love for him.
Jiang MingYuan let her talked with no expressions whatsoever on him. He took a sip of water and finally stopped her when she was done talking and was about to hang up, “Mom, I hope you won’t regret about it.”
Gu MingLi noticed a hint of danger in his voice and asked dubiously, “What do you mean by that?”
“Not much. I have something else to attend to. I’ll let you go now.”
And he hung up the phone after that.
Over on the other end, Gu MingLi, who was hung up on, was a little bit worried. With her phone in her hand, she paced in her living room back and forth. It was sunny outside but the wind coming in was cold and it made Gu MingLi shuddered. She took a few steps forward and quickly closed the door. She touched her own cheek and, though her skin was still smooth, the muscles bellowed it were already beginning to sag. She was no longer young.
This was what she had wanted for herself for the last 30 years. How could she back out when it was finally about to happen? Her son only said one thing. Was it really necessary for her to be so worried?
Gu MingLi tried to ease herself and was finally able to convince herself. She called out to her maid loudly to have her pack for her.
The next day, Jiang MingYuan was informed that Gu MingLi had left the country. She had taken most of her stuff with her and also converted all of her savings into Country M’s currency. Obviously, she was not planning on returning.
“Okay, I get it,” said Jiang MingYuan nonchalantly. Not a trace of his anger from the other day could be seen. After ending that conversation, he contacted another person. “He’s there now. Proceed as we have planned.”
“Okay.”
***
The Jiang’s annual party was scheduled for the 28th and they had reserved the biggest conference room at a 5-star hotel in City S. The annual party would start around 6 PM, dinner then raffle, and would end around 11 PM.
One could bring their significant other with them to this party and Jiang MingYuan had been turned down by Cheng Huan when he asked her a few days ago.
“I don’t think so?” Cheng Huan shook her head with hesitation. “Who am I to you to attend this event?”
“Well, that’s an easy problem to solve,” said Jiang MingYuan as he leaned into her and, with one hand on the back of the couch, said with a very serious look on his attractive face, “The Civil Affairs Bureau is still open right now. We can still make it.”
“No! No!” Cheng Huan was stunned by that first then, after she had processed what he had said, waved her hands awkwardly.
They haven’t even dated yet. It would be mortifying to jump straight to the marriage part!
Looking at how quickly she had turned him down, a hint of disappointment flashed past Jiang MingYuan’s eyes. Sitting back up, he stroked her hair and ease the situation by saying, “I’m just kidding.”
