C25 Ask for an Explanation

Director Du very enthusiastically poured a glass of red wine for Jiang Xiaoyu and said, "Come and have a taste, '82 Lafite. I drink a bottle every night, haha."

This Director Du was displaying his ignorance and vulgarity all the time. The 1982 Lafite production was only so much, one bottle less than the other, and if it wasn't for the fact that he was a very rich man, he wouldn't have been able to guarantee that what he bought was genuine.

This was the first time Jiang Xiaoyu had heard of his company and name in A City. It was obvious that he was not a person of this level. If Shi Minghan had said that, she would have believed him.

Whenever she thought of Shi Minghan, Jiang Xiaoyu would wonder where he was and what he was doing.

"Come, Miss Jiang, this is our first time meeting. Let's have a toast." As Director Du spoke, he drained the wine in his cup. After drinking, he smacked his lips as if he was reminiscing about something.

Jiang Xiaoyu took a light sip and put down the cup. She said, "I'm sorry, Director Du, I'm not good at drinking. Drink more."

"Oh, Miss Jiang isn't real anymore, is she? People say that deep feelings are boring. Look at you, if you're not real, how can I work with your company, don't you think?" How could Director Du agree? He personally picked up her cup and handed it to her.

Jiang Xiaoyu was actually not afraid of drinking. No matter what, she was still a little princess at night. She just didn't want to drink with him.

Since the other party had already said so, she could only drink it all up for the company's future.

Director Du watched her drink it before he laughed heartily and said, "That's more like it. It's said that women don't drink, but in fact, men can't compare to them when it comes to drinking."

After saying that, his eyes flashed with greed, as if his conspiracy had succeeded.

The two of them drank like this. Jiang Xiaoyu tried several times to change the topic to cooperation, but Director Du always avoided the topic. He said that they didn't talk about business at the table.

After a few drinks, Jiang Xiaoyu's consciousness began to blur. She felt dizzy and her body began to heat up. She had the urge to take off her clothes when she realized that there might be something wrong with the wine.

"Sorry, Director Du, I... I need to go to the bathroom." Jiang Xiaoyu staggered to her feet and patted her head to clear her head.

She knew that if she didn't leave now, she would be in big trouble. This Director Du wasn't here to talk business with her.

Director Du immediately stood up and said, "Aiya, Miss Jiang, you drank too much. Come, let me accompany you."

Then, without saying a word, he grabbed Jiang Xiaoyu's arm and helped her out. Miss Jiang struggled with all her might, but to no avail. His strength was simply too great.

Jiang Xiaoyu could only pretend to be obedient and let him support her as they walked out.

Director Du did not let her into the bathroom in the room. Instead, he walked out. Jiang Xiaoyu did not want to be in this room either, so she did not make a sound.

Director Du helped Jiang Xiaoyu up to the elevator that led to the guest room. He had booked a room there early on and had been waiting for this moment. He lowered his head and looked at Jiang Xiaoyu with a lewd smile on his face.

Jiang Xiaoyu lowered her head and bit her lips hard to prevent herself from losing her mind. The smell of blood and the pain in her mouth woke her up a little.

When the elevator doors opened, she saw a man waiting for the elevator. When Director Du wasn't paying attention, she struggled and threw herself at the man's feet. She hugged his feet and shouted with the last of her strength, "Help me..."

Then she lost consciousness...

When she slowly woke up, she found herself lying in a spacious bedroom. This is a hotel? Why am I here?

She patted her aching head and tried to think about what happened yesterday.

"Ah!" After a scream, she lifted the blanket and saw that she was wearing a clean bathrobe. Could it be...?

She quickly got up and looked at the bed. There was no blood or other traces. What happened last night?

Just as she was about to get up and go out to take a look, the door opened. Jiang Xiaoyu quickly pulled up the blanket to cover her chest and looked at the person who had entered in panic.

"It's you?! Why are you here?" Jiang Xiaoyu was surprised to find that the person who had entered was actually Shi Minghan, who had disappeared for a few days.

Shi Minghan placed a bowl of breakfast on the table beside him and looked at her coldly. No expression could be seen in his pitch-black eyes.

"What? Do you want someone else to be here with you?" His voice seemed to come from hell, causing people to panic.

"What happened last night? Why did you change my clothes?" Jiang Xiaoyu guessed that he had some ulterior motive for helping her change her clothes.

Shi Minghan glanced at her and said, "Don't worry, I have no interest in your dry figure. Last night, you were drugged with aphrodisiac and kept hugging me to take off your clothes, so I threw you into the bathtub to soak in cold water for a while and helped you change your clothes. Is that a problem?"

Jiang Xiaoyu felt relieved after knowing that he had saved her. "Where have you been these past few days? Do you know where I've been looking for you?"

"Looking for me? Find me, find me, and follow me to the hotel to drug me?" Shi Minghan's mouth was still as poisonous as ever.

Hearing that, Jiang Xiaoyu felt extremely wronged. With tears streaming down her face, she said, "Isn't it all your fault?"

Shi Minghan was stunned for a moment and said, "Blame me?"

"Why don't you blame me?! After you left that day, you went missing and I couldn't get in touch with you. You didn't even let me go to your company to look for you. Everyone else thought that our Jiang family had offended you and that we were done for. All the previous contracts were revoked. If that wasn't the case, why would I come out and socialize with such people?"

After saying that, she laid on the bed and wailed.

Shi Minghan looked at her with a soft gaze. "You should rest here for a while. I'll give you an explanation for this matter."

With that, Shi Minghan left.

Jiang Xiaoyu rested until the afternoon before wearing the new clothes Shi Minghan bought for her back to the company.

When she walked into the company's entrance, she realized that every employee was looking at her with such an ambiguous gaze. As long as she walked over, they would start whispering about her.

"Sister Chen, what exactly happened at the company? Why is everyone looking at me with strange eyes?" Jiang Xiaoyu called Secretary Chen over and asked.

Secretary Chen paused for a moment and asked: "Director Jiang, I want to ask where you were last night? Who were you with?"

"Me? Uh, if I said I was with Shi Minghan last night, would you believe me?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked hesitantly.

Secretary Chen said with a look of disdain, "It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not, but now there are rumors that you ate dinner with Director Du from the Yongcheng Group last night and stayed in a hotel with him that day. That man is a famous pervert, so... You don't need me to say anything, do you?"

Jiang Xiaoyu felt the headache that she had just suppressed start to flare up again...
