"is that so?"

Jiang Momo felt a pang of disappointment.

Li Jiuyuan seems genuinely angry, very angry indeed.

She didn't believe the company could have anything so important that they would call people away in the early hours of the morning.

Jiang Momo felt somewhat helpless about this.

It wasn't that she didn't want to coax him properly, but Li Jiuyuan simply didn't give her the chance.

This feeling lingered in her heart, and Jiang Momo was even very absent-minded when having dinner with the old lady.

Even after the food in the bowl was gone, they were still rummaging through it.

Seeing her like this, the old lady teased, "Newlyweds are really different. It hasn't been that long since you last saw each other, and you already miss Jiuyuan?"

Jiang Momo looked listless.

What do you mean by wanting or not wanting? I haven't even seen anyone, okay?

However, she still pretended to be embarrassed on the surface.

"grandmother."

She had no other choice but to ask the old lady for help.

"Does Ninth Master often get angry? If he does, how should I appease him?"

Upon hearing this, even the old lady was taken aback.

She frowned, her aged eyes filled with thoughtful expressions.

"angry……"

Jiang Momo thought that since the old lady had spent more time with Li Jiuyuan, she would understand his temperament better.

Unexpectedly, the final answer still disappointed her.

The old lady shook her head and said:

"Jiuyuan has always been a cold person. He doesn't like to talk to anyone much, and we rarely see him angry or happy."

Completely losing hope, Jiang Momo's eyebrows drooped even more pitifully.

The old lady couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Grandma, please stop making fun of me."

She is really troubled right now.

The old lady took a sip of tea and then handed the snacks to Jiang Momo.

"Try this, it's delicious."

Although Jiang Momo had no appetite, she didn't want to disappoint the old lady. As soon as she put the pastry in her mouth, the sweet taste spread in her throat.

Then the old lady said:

"Don't rush me, I think it's great this way. It's been a long time since I've seen him so vibrant."

"Sometimes the people in this family are too materialistic. They'll give up what they have for what they want. But now that Jiuyuan has you, I can rest easy."

"..."

Jiang Momo didn't reply, but looked up at the old lady.

The other person was also looking into the distance, seemingly recalling some past events.

An indescribable sense of loneliness permeated the space, causing Jiang Momo's heart to ache.

After spending two days together, she could tell that the old lady was kind-hearted and treated her well.

Jiang Momo walked to the other person's side and reached out to massage their shoulders.

She learned this skill from taking care of her grandmother, and it's just as good as a professional massage therapist's.

The old lady quickly closed her eyes comfortably, and Jiang Momo also lowered her voice.

"Grandma, I'll spend more time with you from now on."

……

After having breakfast with the old lady, she was feeling unwell and went back to her room to rest.

Jiang Momo glanced at her watch; there were still two hours until her scheduled interview with President Jing Tailan.

She greeted the old lady's nanny and then took a taxi out the door.

The interview location was inside a building. Jiang Momo knew this building; it was called "Jingchuang," the private property of Jingtailan.

The entire building has 35 floors and is a symbol of Jingtailan's status.

She bought two sets of clothes that fit her on the way and headed straight for her destination.

Security at the building entrance was extremely tight. Jiang Momo took out the electronic invitation given to her by President Jing's assistant and was about to scan the code when she heard a woman's teasing voice behind her.

"Jiangda's campus belle, are you here today to work as a cleaner?"

Upon hearing that sound, Jiang Momo felt a wave of nausea.

It's Li Shiqing again.

She really couldn't understand why she would run into Li Shiqing every time she went out.

It was as if the other party had installed some kind of GPS tracking device on her.

Not wanting to talk to anyone, Jiang Momo turned to leave.

Li Shiqing chased after her and stood directly in front of her.

She glanced at Jiang Momo from head to toe with a disdainful expression.

"Do you even know where this place is? Someone as poor and shabby as you, I'm afraid you'll dirty Jingchuang's land!"

"Li Shiqing, I have important things to do today, I don't have time to waste with you."

With less than half an hour left before the interview, Jiang Momo pushed her aside and started to walk forward.

The other party remained relentless.

"You? Don't tell me you're here for an interview!"

Jiang Momo was driven to the brink of irritation, and at that moment, Li Shiqing's follower also came over.

While flattering Li Shiqing, they were determined to utterly belittle Jiang Momo.

"Sister Shiqing, is she the woman you mentioned before, the one who breaks up families and is a homewrecker?"

Li Shiqing nodded.

"Yes, it's her."

The other person immediately put on an exaggerated expression, widening their eyes and opening their mouth, and even pretending to cover their mouth with their hand.

"My God, how can someone like this come to Jingchuang! Could it be that he's hooked up with some big boss again?"

"Unlike our Sister Shiqing, who's here to see President Jing today."

Jiang Momo wasn't interested in anything else.

But when President Jing was mentioned, she stopped and turned to look at Li Shiqing.

"President Jing? Jingtailan?"

"That's right." Li Shiqing puffed out her chest, extremely proud. "Jiang Momo, listen to me carefully. My dad is the project manager at President Jing's branch. He specially arranged an appointment for me with President Jing. In a while, I'll be working at President Jing's company!"

Jiang Momo remained calm, but was inwardly very curious.

So, Li Shiqing is here for an interview today too?

Seeing that Jiang Momo didn't react much, Li Shiqing felt like she had punched a cotton ball. She was furious, and her tone became faster:

"Don't think you can act all nonchalant; I know how jealous you are inside!"

"You still think you're the same academic star you were back then? Just a few days ago you were working as a hostess at the university, and now you think you can climb the social ladder and get a job at Jingchuang? Stop dreaming!"

"However, if you beg me, I can let you clean toilets at President Jing's branch office, since we were roommates before."

After hearing what the other party had said, Jiang Momo found it all laughable.

Based on Li Shiqing's university grades, she can at most find a job at an ordinary company after graduation. Why would she want to work under President Jing?

Who is talking nonsense?

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news and see if you get the job or I get hired today."

Jiang Momo left those words behind and walked to the access control, then suddenly seemed to remember something.

"By the way, didn't you say you were coming for an interview? Why aren't you going in? Don't you have an invitation?"

Li Shiqing, who had been so arrogant just moments before, suddenly choked up.

"Who said I didn't have an invitation! I've already made an appointment with President Jing's assistant; he'll be picking me up soon!"

"Besides, I don't have it, so do you think you could?"

Jiang Momo let out a long "Oh" and gave a very sweet smile.

Then, in front of Li Shiqing, he pulled out the electronic invitation on his phone.

Scan the code to pass through the access control.

She went inside and waved to Li Shiqing through the security gate.

"See you later."
