Chapter 19 Slip of the tongue

Anyway, everyone is used to it. What are they used to? They are used to talking about her behind her back.

Tong Jiangxin smiled lightly, as if he didn't take it into his heart at all. Zhang Tong regretted that he had said something stupid and wished he could hit himself a few times.

Tong Jiangxin said, "It's okay, I'm used to it."

After going through so much, if she were still as scrupulous as before, she would have been ridiculed to death by rumors.

As a result, Tong Jiangxin comforted Zhang Tong in turn. After persuading her, it was almost time to get off work. After bidding farewell to Zhang Tong, Tong Jiangxin went home, changed her clothes, and then came to Bona.

Tonight is a private business party held by Asia Pacific. As a representative of Evergrande’s negotiation department, Tong Jiangxin also needs to attend.

Although Liu Yulu agreed to come over with a bit of anger at first, after Lu Chengxi came to Evergrande in the afternoon, Tong Jiangxin's heart also changed a little. For a person like Lu Chengxi, he was willing to put down his busy work and go out for a special trip.

When I come to see her, I won't care about her, but...

Sigh... To put it bluntly, she still didn't know whether Lu Chengxi was sincere or fake.

Because she was already two months pregnant, Tong Jiangxin did not choose a tight-fitting dress, but wore a black casual suit with a small leather jacket on top, which looked very low-key.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Tong Jiangxin showed up on time. After entering the door with the invitation letter, she saw some unfamiliar faces, presumably from Asia and the Pacific.

But when she took a few steps forward, the people around her glanced at her intentionally or unintentionally. Tong Jiangxin had long been accustomed to the eyes of the people around her, but after all, she was not familiar with the people in Asia and Pacific, and she didn't know those people.

Seeing what she meant, she was still a little embarrassed.

"Jiang Xin".

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind. Tong Jiangxin turned around and saw that it was Zhang Guangcheng who was wearing a formal suit.

Although Tong Jiangxin had no special feelings for Zhang Guangcheng, under such circumstances, meeting an acquaintance made her feel more at ease.

The corners of her lips raised, and Tong Jiangxin said, "Uncle Zhang."

Zhang Guangcheng walked over and said with a smile, "There is a traffic jam in Central. I thought you would come later."

Tong Jiangxin smiled lightly and replied, "I didn't take that route because I was afraid of wasting time."

Zhang Guangcheng nodded and said, "I've worked hard on you these past few months with Asia Pacific. I always have to attend some business cocktail parties and dinners. After this case is over, Uncle Zhang will let you take a long vacation, so you can have a good rest."

Tong Jiangxin smiled and said, "Everyone is the same, I am nothing."

While the two were talking, Zhang Guangcheng looked behind Tong Jiangxin, and then his eyes lit up.

Tong Jiangxin turned around and saw that it was McGarlo who appeared at the door wearing a three-piece dark gray suit.

McGaro's appearance immediately attracted the attention of everyone on the entire floor, and as if he had a premonition, he cast his gaze on Tong Jiangxin's face.

The two of them looked at each other from a few meters apart, and Tong Jiangxin suddenly thought of that night in the parking lot, when McGarlo watched her being held in Lu Chengxi's arms, with that kind of disappointment, regret, and even unreasonable look in his eyes.

Feeling like betrayal, Tong Jiangxin couldn't help but look away.

Everyone calls him "Second Young Master McGarro" because I heard that recently he has returned to the Asia Pacific Group in Hong Kong. They are all called Mr. Mai, so it's hard to tell them apart.

McGaro nodded politely to everyone. When he passed by Tong Jiangxin, McGaro wanted to pretend not to see it, but Zhang Guangcheng smiled and said hello, "Second Young Master."

McGaro had no choice but to stop. He looked at Zhang Guangcheng, then forced a smile and said, "Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Guangcheng smiled and said, "Second Young Master, I am very grateful to your company for inviting Evergrande to the private party."

McGaro said calmly, "That's right. We will continue to cooperate in the future."

Zhang Guangcheng continued, "The project of cooperation between the three companies is progressing very smoothly. In the future, we will have to rely more on Asia Pacific's care."

McGaro nodded. He did not look at Tong Jiangxin, and the expression on his face could be seen at a glance. It was not like before, with a trace of impatience.

Zhang Guangcheng pretended not to see it, smiled and said a lot of things. Finally, Tong Jiangxin couldn't stand it anymore, and she said, "Second Young Master, I think Director Li of your company seems to have something to ask you."

McGaro finally glanced at Tong Jiangxin, but soon, with just one glance, he nodded to Zhang Guangcheng, and then said, "Sorry, excuse me."

After saying that, McGaro turned and left.

Looking at McGarlo's back, which was more stubborn than determined, Tong Jiangxin's eyes flashed with regret.

Zhang Guangcheng next to him is not a fool. How could he not see the strangeness in McGaro? It's because of Tong Jiangxin next to him. But he doesn't understand why McGaro called him today and told him to let Tong Jiangxin attend.

.

Tong Jiangxin couldn't read minds, so she certainly couldn't guess what Zhang Guangcheng was thinking. She just made a random excuse and left.

Avoiding the crowd that she most likely didn't recognize, Tong Jiangxin pushed open the security door and wanted to come out for some air, but she didn't expect that McGallo was also here.

He stood tall, facing the stairs in front, smoking.

Hearing the knock on the door behind him, McGaro turned around. The moment he saw Tong Jiangxin, his expression also changed.

Tong Jiangxin didn't know what she was thinking, but she subconsciously said, "Sorry to bother you..."

After saying that, she wanted to turn around and exit.

McGaro was one step ahead of Tong Jiangxin. He quickly threw his half-smoked cigarette on the ground and stamped it out. Then he stepped to the security door and grabbed Tong Jiangxin's wrist.

Tong Jiangxin looked up along McGarlo's hand and saw his handsome face that seemed to be angry.

Sure enough, McGarloh said, "Are you going to become estranged from me?"

Tong Jiangxin frowned slightly and opened her mouth, but she couldn't say anything. She didn't know what happened to her just now to say such polite words.

She remained silent, and McGaro was even more angry. He said, "Jiang Xin, even if we can't be lovers, at least we were good friends. Do we have to pretend we don't know each other when we meet like this?"

?”

Tong Jiangxin said, "I'm sorry, Mike, I just..."

No matter how you explain it, it all feels like a cover-up. Tong Jiangxin really wants to slap herself in the face.

Seeing the tangled look on Tong Jiangxin's face, McGaro said, "I'm sorry, you have told me many times..."

Tong Jiangxin raised her eyes and looked at McGarlo. His face was so handsome, but there was a hint of thinness, and his dark eyes were full of distress.
