[MarriageFirstLoveLater] Chapter 3.2 — Agreement

The next morning, Jian Hang was woken up by the alarm. Last night, she put all the flowers she had ordered in the vase and slept a little later than her usual. Normally she didn’t need an alarm and woke up on time at 6:30 am.

Before she went out, she put on the ring.

Lin Xiao was the first to notice that Jian Hang was wearing a diamond ring today. Yesterday, he had been in a hurry to explain himself for inviting his colleagues to have afternoon snacks that he didn’t notice that Jian Hang had an extra diamond ring on her hand.

Lin Xiao was afraid that he would make a mistake, so he asked Qin Xing first to confirm.

He and Qin Xing had been playing together since they were young. In the eyes of others, they were both unpromising youths who did not do their jobs properly.

[Let me ask you something, is your older brother really married to Jian Hang?]

Qin Xing: [Yeah. Whoever talks nonsense in the future, you must protect my sister-in-law.]

Lin Xiao: [You don’t have to tell me this. Although I don’t like to see the she-devil, a man’s code is the same. Even if she’s not your sister-in-law, I still have to protect her. Who made my three views¹ upright?]

Qin Xing was disgusted and said, [“Go away.”]

Lin Xiao whistled and rushed to send a message to the water-cooler group chat before heading to work. [Boss is in a good mood today. Those who are looking for her to sign and those who are looking to get approval should hurry up.]

[How do you know?]

[She’s wearing a diamond ring and got the certificate with Qin Moling. Would she still be unhappy?]

That’s how the group chat became lively so early in the morning.

Jian Hang received a call from Gao Yu in the morning: he called to explain why Mrs. Gao suspected that she was his mistress.

“Three days after I told my wife I wanted a divorce, I happened to have dinner with your Yinlin. My wife has been following me everyday because I said I wanted a divorce.”

Coincidentally, he met people from Yinlin, including Jian Hang, at the doors of the hotel, and the group entered the hotel together, chatting all the way.

“My wife took a photo of you and me together. She found out your name from somewhere and heard something about you, so…

“Anyway, I’m sorry. My wife has calmed down now. She now knows that you and Qin Moling are husband and wife, and she knows that she misunderstood.”

Jian Hang’s voice was calm, “Based alone on a photo of you and me entering the hotel together, she thought I was a third party? My secretary and the rest of the team were also present at the time.”

Gao Yu was really helpless. His wife couldn’t accept that he simply wanted a divorce. She was greatly stimulated and insisted that he was cheating on her. At that time, his wife was unable to see anyone else from Yinlin Capital—she only saw him and Jian Hang in the same frame.

He wasn’t having an extramarital affair, and he didn’t do anything to disgrace his family. It was just that he was fed up with his wife’s complaints and his suffocating marriage. However, his wife didn’t believe that he hadn’t cheated on her at all.

In fact, she still didn’t believe it now; his wife only admitted that she wrongly accused Jian Hang.

“Ms. Jian, do you plan to sue?”

“Yes. I won’t accept a reconciliation. Matters like cheating have to be clarified. This time your wife was just confused, but who knows, one day she might be struck by another wave of confusion.”

Gao Yu was an extremely sober person. He agreed with this way of handling it and also stated his position, “I will continue to follow up on the Wanyue Group project. I will make sure this would not be affected in any way.”

The Wanyue Group planned to acquire a company in Suzhou City. Gao Yu has a good relationship with the senior management of Wanyue Group and this allowed him to get first-hand information.

Jian Hang has hands-on experience in large-scale mergers and acquisitions. She has led her team to complete several complex cross-border mergers and acquisitions.

Jianhang was determined to win the Wanyue Group acquisition project.

To win a project this big, fighting for relationships was only the first step. The next step was to fight with undeniable strength, both personally and as a team.

This time the competitors for the project were all very strong, and they were all looking for connections to win this project.

If she successfully won the Wanyue Group project, she would, of course, also complete some tasks for Gao Yu and his bank.

The relationship between her and Gao Yu was purely one of cooperation and aligned business interests.

This was why Boss Pang reminded her not to have a falling out with Gao Yu and instead mind herself; she needed to resolve the matter involving Mrs. Gao in a way that would still allow her use Gao Yu’s connections.

… …

After getting off work, Jian Hang chatted with the lawyer on the phone for twenty minutes. Regarding Mrs. Gao’s matter, she had to go through the legal process. It didn’t matter how high the lawyer’s fee was: she had to win the lawsuit.

The board of directors would not pursue this matter against her, but she wanted to give herself an explanation.

Jian Hang was going to her childhood home for dinner tonight.

Her parents had originally wanted to celebrate her and Qin Moling’s getting their marriage certificate. Even though Qin Moling didn’t come, her mother still cooked a sumptuous meal.

Jian Hang loved the steamed fish cooked by her mother the most. She could eat a whole fish by herself.

Jian Zhongjun pushed the platter holding the fish towards his daughter, almost touching Jian Hang’s bowl. “There is another one in the refrigerator. If you don’t want to work overtime tomorrow night, let your mother steam that one too.”

Chen Yu interjected, “How can she be free tomorrow night? Did you forget what day it is tomorrow?”

Jian Zhongjun thought about it and explained himself, “I just said it casually and forgot that tomorrow is Valentine’s Day.”

Tomorrow was February 14th, the first holiday to come up since she and Qin Moling received their marriage certificates.

But tomorrow was not the Wednesday that she and Qin Moling agreed to do a call. She and Qin Moling would not meet, and it would just be like any other normal day.

Unfortunately, even if she was actually free tomorrow night, she wouldn’t be able to come back to eat fish.

Otherwise, her parents would worry about whether she and Qin Moling quarreled.

Jian Hang just decided to work overtime in her apartment tomorrow night.
