Chapter 1161 The Body Makes the Choice Before the Brain
"Jiang Manman, don't blame me for not advising you. Do you really think you can gain a foothold here as an intern?" Luo Jing's eyes showed even more disgust.
Jiang Manman is so annoying.
How dare she talk to me like that? She has no sense of respect for others at all.
"You don't need to worry about that. Your cousin has the means to deal with me, so why don't you improve your own business skills? Otherwise, if you are not capable enough and get kicked out of Huo's Group, you will blame me and think that I did something wrong."
"Forget it, you've always been this kind of person, all bravado and no substance."
After saying that, Jiang Manman didn't waste any more words with Luo Jing.
Jiang Manman used to admire her cousin quite a bit, but now she thinks she's nothing special.
A person's character is just as important as their work ability.
She hadn't had much contact with Luo Jing before, only knowing that Luo Jing had a good reputation in the family, but she didn't expect to find out what kind of person she was after getting to know her.
Luo Jing watched Jiang Manman's retreating figure, her nails digging tightly into her palms.
That Jiang Manman is infuriating!
……
Jiang Manman wasn't that angry. She thought that if she really got angry and resigned, she would be falling into their trap and letting them have their fun.
I'm not resigning, I'm not leaving, let's see what these people can do!
She's going to get in the way of these people, and nobody's going to have an easy time!
Jiang Manman went downstairs, preparing to go home.
She planned to take the subway. Although she was nineteen, she hadn't taken her driving test yet. Her parents were worried and wanted a driver to take her, but Jiang Manman felt it wouldn't be good if people saw her doing her internship now, so they refused.
I'm quite happy going to work like this every day.
Jiang Manman had just clocked out of get off work and was about to head to the subway station when someone called out to her, "Manman!"
Jiang Manman looked over and saw that the man standing there was straight, had taken off his school uniform and put on a suit, and his hair was combed up. He had lost a bit of his youthful naiveté and gained a bit of adult maturity.
"Liang Chen?" Jiang Manman rarely saw Liang Chen dressed like this; he looked completely different from how she remembered him.
"What are you doing here?" Jiang Manman asked.
Liang Chen said, "I was running errands and just happened to pass by here. I didn't expect to see you like this. What a coincidence."
"Yeah? "
Jiang Manman didn't know if what he said was true, but out of so many employees at Huo's, he just happened to see her and even called out to her.
Isn't this timing just perfect?
"Are you going home? Get in the car, I'll give you a ride." Liang Chen was already walking towards Jiang Manman.
"No need to trouble yourself, I can go back by myself." Jiang Manman waved her hand.
"How could this be troublesome? Aren't we going the same way? Or do you have other plans?"
Jiang Manman nodded: "Yes, yes, I have other things to do, so I'll go first."
"Manman, wait." Liang Chen reached out and grabbed Jiang Manman's arm.
Jiang Manman didn't see that not far away, a luxury car drove out of the parking lot, and the people inside were watching this scene.
The driver deliberately stopped the car there, and Huo Yanchen lowered his eyes, staring at the two people in front.
“You’re alright, right? You’re avoiding me,” Liang Chen said.
Jiang Manman: "..."
They saw right through me.
She knew that she and Liang Chen could never go back to the way things were. She wasn't the type to keep someone who liked her by not rejecting them and instead stringing them along.
Although she explicitly refused, she felt it was better to maintain her relationship with Liang Chen, and she didn't give Liang Chen any chance at all.
She knew she didn't like Liang Chen, and she never would.
They've known each other for so many years; if they were going to like each other, they would have done so long ago.
"Actually, I lied to you just now. I didn't just happen to run into you while I was passing by. Your parents asked me to pick you up."
"My parents?" Jiang Manman asked in surprise.
Why did Mom and Dad call Liang Chen over?
"Why did they ask you to pick me up?" Jiang Manman asked, puzzled.
Liang Chen smiled. Although his attire was very professional, his warm smile still revealed his naiveté.
He is actually a very gentle person, and his smile is indeed handsome, captivating many young girls, but Jiang Manman is not susceptible to this.
"Didn't you know that our two families arranged to have dinner together tonight?"
Jiang Manman really didn't know that.
Can she not go?
"Really? My parents didn't tell me."
"Then you can make a phone call and ask."
Actually, the dinner was impromptu; it was Liang's family who first suggested it, and then Jiang's father readily agreed.
Jiang's father wanted the two children to spend more time together, hoping that Jiang Manman might forget Huo Yanchen that way.
Jiang Manman made the call, and sure enough, it was true.
Liang Chen said, "Now you believe me, right?"
Jiang Manman wasn't particularly keen on going either. She hadn't felt anything special about the meal before, but now she felt rather awkward.
"I'm a little tired from work today, and I want to go home and rest. I'm sorry, Liang Chen, for troubling you with this wasted trip."
"Then I'll take you home to rest. Since you're tired, you should get some rest. You're going to take the subway now, which is quite troublesome. I'll take you."
As he spoke, Liang Chen pulled Jiang Manman into the car.
But the next second, a man grabbed Jiang Manman's arm: "Didn't you hear her say she didn't want to?"
Jiang Manman was taken aback. Huo Yanchen.
What on earth is he up to? He actually saw Huo Yanchen twice today.
Actions always beat the mind; by the time Huo Yanchen reacted, he was already in front of Jiang Manman.
I can't bear to see her suffer, nor can I bear to see her being forced.
The drivers nearby were stunned. Mr. Huo just went up there like that?
He didn't even realize it when the car door opened.
However, President Huo's actions were no exception. After all, apart from his secretary, he was probably the person who saw President Huo the most during this period. President Huo had not been doing well during this time, and his personality had changed a lot.
But there's nothing you can do; your father-in-law doesn't agree, and there's really nothing you can do about it.
"Huo Yanchen!" Liang Chen frowned as soon as he saw Huo Yanchen.
"What are you doing? Manman and I are chatting. It's none of your business. Besides, Manman's parents asked me to pick her up. Who gave you the right to speak?"
Jiang Manman's mind went blank at this moment, and she just stared blankly at Huo Yanchen.
Those words were clearly spoken by Huo Yanchen last time, so what does Huo Yanchen mean by this now?
Why did he come over? Why did he hold her hand?
It doesn't matter anymore, so why come back to her? She clearly put in so much effort to stop thinking about him.
Huo Yanchen's expression was gloomy, and his face looked very tired. During the meeting, Jiang Manman deliberately avoided looking at Huo Yanchen and did not notice that Huo Yanchen looked so bad, as if he had not had a proper rest in a long time.
Is he very busy with work lately?
Or is it because he was indulging in a multitude of pleasures and damaged his health?
