Chapter 135 Greetings
"Brother, it's getting late. You should go first. I still have something to discuss with Lawyer Jiang, so I won't waste your time."
Xie Heng lowered his eyelashes to hide the emotions in his eyes.
Guan Li was very perceptive and naturally realized quickly that Xie Heng didn't want them to notice it.
So after he glanced in the direction that was blocked by Xie Heng, he did not continue to explore.
It was not until the car restarted and drove some distance that Guan Li told Xie Shiqian in the back seat about the situation he had just noticed.
The man stopped with his eyes closed, with no particular emotion on his face.
"As long as you are not out of line, you don't have to worry about it."
Guan Li understood what he meant and nodded his head.
On the other side, Xie Heng's expression finally eased a little until the dark black Bentley completely disappeared from sight.
Now Jiang Wan is sitting in Jiang Xu's car, and he certainly doesn't want Guan Li to notice her at this time.
He just said that he was chatting with Jiang Xu, but regardless of the fact that he was the big brother who had an insight into people's hearts, even Guan Li, an old fox who had been with the big brother for several years, should be able to see at a glance that he was talking nonsense.
It would be fine if I just noticed Jiang Wan, it doesn't necessarily mean I can know anything, but if I knew what he was thinking, the nature of the matter would be different.
The less trouble, the better.
Thinking of this, Xie Heng slowly withdrew his gaze, but unexpectedly when he turned around again, he suddenly bumped into a pair of affectionate and clear eyes.
The girl got off the car at some point and was looking at him quietly from behind him, the corners of her eyes glistening with water in the dark night.
He didn't know why, but the moment they looked at each other, Xie Heng suddenly felt as if his heart had collapsed, so that his eyes were dazed for a rare moment, and the girl's gentle voice fell into his ears at this moment.
"Brother Heng, it's really getting late. If there's really nothing else, then I'll go back with Brother Xu first?"
Xie Heng walked up to her but did not answer immediately. He lowered his eyes and stared at her for a moment before lowering his voice.
"Tell me when you get home."
Jiang Wan nodded obediently, and then said softly: "Brother Heng, if you go on a business trip, you must also pay attention to safety. I wish everything goes well."
The smile in her eyes was too vivid. Xie Heng's eyes deepened slightly. He could no longer hold back and raised his hand to rub her soft hair.
"Okay, I'll borrow your good words and I'll find you when I get back. Get in the car."
The touch on her head was very light. When Jiang Wan reacted, the man had already put his hand down, so she didn't pay much attention to it.
Jiang Xu turned around and got into the car when Xie Heng was talking, so he didn't see this scene.
Jiang Wan got into the car right behind Jiang Xu, and waved goodbye to Xie Heng before rolling up the window.
Perhaps it was because he heard that Xie Heng was going on a business trip for a while, and now he could only watch him send Jiang Wan home, Jiang Xu felt inexplicably comforted.
The two chatted along the way, and the journey back didn't feel like it took very long.
However, after Jiang Wan got home, he didn't have the energy to do anything else. He chatted with Yin Xi and He Nanchao for a while, and then went to bed.

The next day.
For a company as large as Shaw Group, Friday is naturally no less busy than Monday.
Remembering that Shao Ting would have several meetings today, the first one in the morning was with the Investment and Finance Department, Jiang Wan also thought of some words to ask the man to join him.
But when she arrived at the company, she did not see Shao Ting.
Seeing that Jiang Yan was not there either, Jiang Wan naturally guessed that Shao Ting might have gone directly to the meeting room.
Although she felt a little regretful, she didn't take it to heart and instead began to deal with part of the work of the new project assigned to her by Jiang Yan.
This was her first time to participate in a project, so of course she had to take it very seriously.
The whole morning passed like this, and Jiang Wan was the only one in the office.
It was not unusual for Shao Ting to hold meetings for a whole day, and it was even more normal for him to hold a meeting for only a morning.
So Jiang Wan didn't feel anything was wrong at first, until he saw Jiang Yan coming back alone, he suddenly realized something and asked in confusion: "Is Mr. Shao still busy?"
Jiang Yan put a stack of meeting materials into the data room, then came out and answered softly: "My husband didn't come to the company, and all the meetings today were arranged as online meetings, so I was so busy this morning that I didn't have time to arrange work for you, Miss Jiang."
Jiang Wan's eyes moved slightly, and he chuckled, "Don't worry, Assistant Jiang, I'm quite familiar with the job now. Even if you don't tell me, I can find something to do, not to mention that I have to prepare for the regularization assessment."
After that, she asked softly, "Sir, why did you change the meeting to online? Did something happen?"
Jiang Yan picked up the porcelain cup and took a sip of tea, but his eyes were a little hesitant.
He was wondering whether to tell Jiang Wan.
However, this hesitation did not last long. After all, it was not a secret. Jiang Wan had been with Shao Ting for a long time, and sooner or later he would become familiar with the situation.
After thinking for a while, he spoke in a low voice: "Mr.'s mother has not been in good health. Not long after you got off work last night, Mrs. Shao was hospitalized due to a heart attack. She was given a critical illness notice. Fortunately, she stabilized in the early morning. She should be fine for the time being."
"Mr. didn't sleep all night and is still in the hospital, so he probably won't come to the company today."
This reason was really beyond Jiang Wan's expectations.
Her mother had also suffered from illness for a long time, so she naturally knew how her children felt now.
Seeing her fall silent, Jiang Yan also felt a little emotional.
"Speaking of which, my wife is actually a very strong-willed person and a workaholic, so she got sick in her early years. Sometimes, for the sake of your own health, you really have to try to be more at ease."
After he finished speaking, Jiang Yan suddenly thought of something.
"I just don't know how the gentleman is doing now. I saw that he was not in a good state during the meeting."
Not in a good condition?
Jiang Wan's eyes moved slightly. It was hard to imagine what a man like Shao Ting would look like when he was in a bad condition.
She pursed her lips and asked, "Does the sir look sick? Or is he too worried or too tired?"
Jiang Yan's eyes moved slightly: "If Miss Jiang is worried, why not call later to greet Mr. in person?"
"Anyway, you are Mr.'s secretary now, so it's only natural that you care about him."
"But it would be best if we do it after get off work. Mr. should be busy taking care of his mother right now, and he has to continue the meeting with the partner company later."
Jiang Wan couldn't help but raise the corners of her eyes slightly. She didn't expect that before she said anything, Jiang Yan had already thought of a reason for her.
After thinking for two seconds, she curved her eyebrows and said, "Okay, I'll greet you after get off work."

In the evening, dusk fell and Jiang Wan finished his work for the day at exactly 6:15.
Jiang Yan hadn't returned to the office yet. Jiang Wan thought about it and opened the address book and tried to call Shao Ting.
But no one answered the call after a long time.
Thinking that the man should be busy at this time, Jiang Wan lowered her eyes and prepared to hang up the phone.
What she didn't expect was that just when her fingertips were about to touch the phone screen, there was a sudden "beep" sound from the other end, followed by a familiar but exceptionally low and hoarse male voice.
"what's up?"
Jiang Wan could tell something was wrong from just a few words.
Her heart trembled inexplicably, and after thinking for two seconds, she asked softly, "Sir, are you sick?"
There was some heavy breathing on the other end, but after a moment's silence, the man denied it.
"No."
After a pause, he asked, "Why are you calling me?"
The man's voice, which was a little deeper than usual, passed through the microphone and fell into Jiang Wan's ears. His breathing became a little faster, and then he said softly, "I have something to do."
"I want to see you in person for something."
