Chapter 270: Quarrel
"Good," Jian Yuan said with satisfaction before hanging up.
He stared at his reflection in the window and muttered, "Jianci, ah, Jianci... you loved your adoptive parents so much. I wonder how you will feel when you see them sent to an asylum by their beloved son."
A chuckle escaped his lips when he imagined their expression when that happened before he turned toward his study. There was still so much to do before his return to Huaxia.
"Ah, I’m so busy and you still can sleep peacefully. But, it’s alright. Jianci, you should sleep more and leave everything to me," he said with mock helplessness.
Back in Huaxia, Du Leilei stared at her phone for a long time after the call was hung up and let out a long sigh. If possible, she didn’t want to push Jian Yuan into a corner. After all, they had grown up in the same orphanage. Once, he had been her good friend.
She had said what needed to be said. Now, everything depended on Jian Yuan’s actions and her boss’s decision. She could only hope that no matter what happened, her boss would leave her friend a path to survival.
As she let out another heavy sigh, the door suddenly swung open. A young man walked in, a teasing smile on his face when he said, "Du Leilei, if you keep sighing like that, your hair will turn white before you hit thirty."
Recognizing the familiar voice, Du Leilei glared at him and asked, "Lei Junfeng, what are you doing here? Aren’t you supposed to be going home?"
"Who said I’m going home?" he asked her back while casually plopping down beside her.
