"Yes." When Jiang Xiaomi heard that it was serious business, he quickly put away the dinner plate, turned to Jiang Ruyi and said, "Ruyi, eat slowly by yourself, I'll go and get busy first."

"okay."

Jiang Ruyi looked at Sister Hong and Jiang Xiaomi dumbfounded, and left the restaurant one after another.

She shrugged inexplicably, touched the agarwood beads hanging around her neck, and stuffed them into the collar of her shirt.

Then he buried his head and continued to struggle with the food on the plate.

Jiang Ruyi was indeed not full. Jiang Xiaomi was right. Her appetite had been steadily increasing recently.

In the past two days, she felt like she was starting to grow a belly. The work suit that fit her well a month ago now felt a little tight around her waist.

Jiang Ruyi straightened her back, took a breath, and tightened her lower abdomen, which still looked flat.

But as soon as I relaxed, my belly started to bulge a little.

Jiang Ruyi stuffed another shrimp into her mouth in annoyance. She didn't want to continue to gain weight, but there was no way. Once she didn't eat enough, she would be so hungry that she became panicked.

This creates a very strong desire to eat.

Only when you are really full will you feel better.

Jiang Ruyi thought sadly that if she continued to eat like this, she would probably become the first fat person in their Jiang family.

She could imagine how the whole family would surround her and jokingly call her "Little Fatty Jiang"...

Jiang Xiaomi followed Sister Hong to the office.

"Xiaomi, sit down, I have something to ask you." Sister Hong pointed to the chair and ordered Jiang Xiaomi.

"Hey, okay, Sister Hong, you ask." Jiang Xiaomi sat down obediently.

Sister Hong also sat on her chair and stared at the computer screen on her desk. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

After a long while, when Jiang Xiaomi looked at her repeatedly in confusion, Sister Hong raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Xiaomi.

"Xiaomi, do you remember the last time Mr. Lu came?"

"Mr. Lu?"

Jiang Xiaomi frowned in confusion and thought for a moment, "I can't remember clearly. It seems to have been almost a month ago."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Xiaomi added, "Mr. Lu rarely comes over recently."

Sister Hong nodded without changing her expression and continued to ask, "Did anything strange happen when Mr. Lu came here last time?"

Jiang Xiaomi was shocked and blurted out, "Is that bead on Ruyi's neck the one belonging to Mr. Lu?"

Sister Hong was startled by Jiang Xiaomi's reaction. She quickly raised her head and glanced outside the door, then stood up, walked quickly to the door, and closed the office door.

She turned back and asked seriously, "Xiaomi, tell me honestly, did Mr. Lu have anything happen to Ruyi last time he came here?"

Jiang Xiaomi was in a mess at this moment, trying desperately to recall Mr. Lu's words and deeds that day.

"Mr. Lu's behavior that day was indeed a bit abnormal..."

"That day, when he came, because there was a guest in the VVIP private room who was eager to ask for wine, I was busy at the time, so I asked Ruyi to help deliver wine to Mr. Lu."

"Later, when Mr. Lu was leaving, he went around to the front desk to question the person who brought the wine... but he didn't say anything at the time and left quickly."

When Jiang Xiaomi said this, she looked at Sister Hong pleadingly.

"I asked Ruyi that day, and she said she just brought the wine into the room and quickly left. She didn't even see what Mr. Lu looked like."

"Sister Hong, how could Ruyi be possible? What happened to Mr. Lu?"

After listening to Jiang Xiaomi's words, Sister Hong was speechless for a long time. It sounded like everything was quite normal.

Jiang Ruyi couldn't lie. If the two of them had an unpleasant incident that day, Mr. Lu would never let her go easily.

What if it was before that day?

Then why did Mr. Lu wait until now to investigate?

At this time, she was a little confused about the situation.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for Jiang Ruyi and Mr. Lu to have any intersection.

This girl has a good temper, she is not mean-spirited, she laughs whenever she sees people, and she is down-to-earth and steady in her work. She is a likeable girl.

She knew that Jiang Xiaomi really regarded Jiang Ruyi as his girl.

It's not easy to meet someone you like and get along with in a strange city. Jiang Xiaomi cherishes this friendship.

Sister Hong comforted Jiang Xiaomi, "Don't be impatient. I think this matter may not be as serious as we think."

She thought for a while and said directly, "Don't say anything. I'll call Mr. Lu back first and find out the situation."

What kind of person is Lu Beicheng?

Sister Hong has been following him for so many years, and she thinks she still knows it very well.

Just because she knew it very well, Sister Hong didn't want to see what would happen if Jiang Ruyi provoked Lu Beicheng.

Lu Beicheng was a man who, regardless of gender, old or young, was very hard-hearted and ruthless as long as he was not one of his own.

There is no affection at all.

Sister Hong dialed Lu Beicheng's number, turned on the speakerphone, and made a "shh" gesture to Jiang Xiaomi.

Jiang Xiaomi pursed her lips obediently and even breathed a little lighter.

There is no way, she is really a little afraid of this big boss.

Although, the big boss is famous for being handsome, rich and powerful, a perfect match for a male god.

But there were very few women who dared to stare directly at him or try to get close to him.

In addition to the rumored dislike of women, the main reason is that the big boss's eyes are usually a little indifferent and cold, giving people a strong sense of distance and making people dare not get close.

And the big boss's heart was as cold as his eyes.

No one dared to make a mistake in front of him.

"Hey, Mr. Lu, it's me... I just saw it. There is indeed a bead on Jiang Ruyi's neck..."

"She said she picked it up..."

"...Yes, it's agarwood...Yes, it's very similar to the one you often wear on your hand..."

On the other end of the phone.

When Lu Beicheng heard this, he immediately raised the corners of his mouth, raised the beads in front of his eyes, and gently rubbed the wishful knot with his index finger and thumb, with a hint of smile in his tone.

"You said she hung the beads around her neck?"

Sister Hong's heart skipped a beat and she almost slapped herself in the mouth. Why are you so honest?

Have you forgotten that the big boss hates other people touching his things?

Not to mention, it's such a personal item.

But years of habit made her obey subconsciously, "Yes, wear it with a red string and put it around her neck."

"Haha..." Lu Beicheng burst out laughing after hearing this.

The low magnetic laughter and joyful mood reached Sister Hong through the phone.

Sister Hong was stunned and looked at each other with Jiang Xiaomi. This was the first time she heard her boss smiling so happily on the phone.

She asked cautiously, "Mr. Lu, if that is really your lost bead, look...how about I go get it back for you first, and then deliver it to you personally?"

"Don't." Lu Beicheng quickly stopped him.

"Ahem..." He coughed lightly and said with a smile, "Let it hang around Jiang Ruyi's neck. I will go and get it back myself."

Anyone can hear the strong ambiguity in his tone at once.

Jiang Xiaomi's pursed lips suddenly opened wide, her eyes widened, and she looked at Sister Hong in disbelief.

The two of them stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes, both with expressions of being struck by lightning.

Is the boss... interested in Ruyi?

Sister Hong rarely stuttered when speaking, so she added cautiously, "But...but, Ruyi just said...she will ask her friends to give...the beads to the owner tomorrow and courier them back..."

"what?"

Lu Beicheng immediately sat up straight, frowning, and there was a dark pool in his eyes, "Does she know who the beads belong to?"
