Can't Take My Eyes Off You

Chapter 2137: Don’t Contact Me

“The Changkang Group is a large corporation. Why should they, no matter how wealthy they are, pay for other people’s crimes? Simply because I am Professor Ouyang’s assistant? I accept your apology and let Changkang Group blame me? Li Hong, why should I do that for you? Are you my mother? Do I need to sacrifice myself for you?”Please support our

Jiang Yao did not like other people taking responsibility for her if she were in the wrong.

Jiang Yao did not want to talk to Li Hong. She simply said, “A lawyer from Changkang Group’s legal department will be arriving tomorrow. Please do not contact me again about this matter. I am a nobody. I can’t accept responsibility for you.”

Jiang Yao immediately hung up the phone. She looked frustrated.

Jiang Yao’s mother entered the room with a glass of water and noticed her expression. She was aware that she was in a foul mood. “You just woke up. Drink a glass of warm water to moisten your throat. No matter how big the trouble is, it’s not as important as your health.”

“Thank you, Mom.” Jiang Yao looked at her mother. She did not want her mother to be concerned about her, so she smiled and said, “Some insignificant things happened. I lost my cool because I was in a bad mood. It’s fine. I just need a few minutes to relax.”

Jiang Yao could only conclude that Li Hong was a bad person with bad luck. She was in the worst mood of the year when she called her.

“It is great that you understand,” Jiang Yao’s mother said. “You have slept the entire afternoon. Go for a walk in the living room. Even though the doctor instructed you to remain in bed, he did not mean to do that 24 hours a day.”

Jiang Yao agreed after drinking the water. She took the empty cup and walked out of the room with her mother.

She paused in the living room before observing Mr. Jiang, who was weeding the lawn. Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang were accustomed to living in the country. They were always busy working, so they were not used to being idle. When they had free time, they would spend it in the yard tending to the flowers, plants, and vegetables.

“You’re awake?” Mr. Jiang turned to face Jiang Yao. “One of the tomatoes in the garden is ripe.

Do you want to eat it? When you were younger, I recall you enjoying eating raw tomatoes.”

“And you always sprinkle it with sugar.” Jiang Yao protruded her tongue. “Whenever Second Brother noticed me eating that, he always wished he had one.”

Only Jiang Yao, the youngest daughter, received that pampered treatment.

“Yes, but your second brother adores you as well. No matter how greedy he was, he would not fight you for the food,” Mr. Jiang explained. “You three like little carrots. I didn’t expect you to mature so quickly. Your eldest brother is now a father, and you are on the verge of becoming a mother. So, you must exercise caution. Don’t let Xingzhi be concerned about you when he goes on missions.”

“I got it.” Jiang Yao lowered her head to sniff the tomatoes Mr. Jiang had picked for her. It had a strong aroma.

Lu Xingzhi returned home early that day. Lu Xingzhi appeared at the door with a bag of oranges while Jiang Yao was still talking to Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang.

He noticed Jiang Yao standing there with tomatoes in her hands as soon as he entered the door. Lu Xingzhi stopped in front of her and lifted his hand to pinch Jiang Yao’s cheek. Then he handed the bag to Jiang Yao and said, “Zhou Junmin went to the city in the afternoon to do some business. When he returned, he noticed that the stalls were selling oranges. Remember how much you enjoy eating them? So he bought some for you.”

At the time, the orange was still green and yellow, unlike the oranges they ate in November, which were yellow and orange. Those made people drool..
