The CEO's Woman

Chapter 311 Lure

Chapter 311 Lure

Jiang Yue was unaware of the Secretary’s plan. However, she already knew that they were just getting started, so she did not lower her guard. But what she had not expected was that the Secretary would use her friends to lure her to M Country.

Jiang Yue continued working with Shen Rong on her designs. Since they had already established the game, it was not really hard to sell some merchandise related to their games. Especially the clothes, worn by the characters in games.

Because of that, Jiang Yue created a clothing line, just for Shen Rong’s new designs. She even invested her personal money, to support the line.

That made Shen Rong very happy. She always loved art, and it was almost surreal for her to have a clothing line, just to showcase what she loved the most.

After another month, Jiang Yue launched a clothing brand named ’FORTE’. It had a sophisticated chic style that instantly caught the eyes of many people in their early and late twenties. They also had a collection, which suited for mothers and teenagers.

Shen Rong’s name instantly became a sensation. She was instantly dubbed as the brilliant designer behind FORTE.

"What’s wrong?" Jiang Yue asked Shen Rong. She noticed that Shen Rong was not as bubbly and as talkative that morning. It was very unusual. She instantly felt that something was not going well for her.

"It’s nothing," she answered before she opened the door to Jiang Yue’s office to let her enter.

"What’s wrong?" Jiang Yue repeated her question, this time, she was looking straight into Shen Rong’s eyes.

With a sigh, Shen Rong closed the door to Jiang Yue’s office. She watched, as Jiang Yue took a seat at her office table, before following Jiang Yue to sit across her.

"It’s my family..." she started, looking grimmer than she was just a little while ago. "The Main Shen Family wants us to visit them for the spring festival, which will take place in less than a month. I have already told my father that I can’t go since I am very busy, but he still insists. Xiao Yue, those people abandoned us when my grandfather died. Why do they want to see us now?"

Jiang Yue just let out a sigh. Family matters were mostly very complicated. "So, are you planning to go?"

"I don’t want to. But I think I have no choice."

"Where is the Main Branch of the Shen Family located?" Jiang Yue asked before sipping from the disposable coffee cup in her hands.

"M Country," she answered. "Our family has not been in good terms with them for a long time. When my sister graduated and started looking for a job, she tried to ask for their help since they have good ties in the M Country, but they did not even call her back!"

"Maybe, they regret their actions now and want to make amends with your father." Jiang Yue answered nonchalantly. M Country? The moment she heard that name, she instantly had a bad feeling about it. Could it be possible that those people were planning to use her friend?

Shen Rong was considered a bystander in all those matters. She was not aware of anything and was innocent. Yet, if they insisted on using her, then Jiang Yue would not be merciful.

"I don’t think so... Xiao Yue, you should know that my mother left my father for another man when my grandfather died. Because of this, no one from the main family showed up on my grandfather’s funeral. They thought it was shameful to associate themselves to a family like ours." Shen Rong said. "I really don’t want to go, ah."

"That will hurt your father, and you know that." Jiang Yue stated. "If your father is adamant about going, then you should go. It would make him happy. But if you notice that they want something else and are not really sincere about reconciling, then you should just leave with your family."

Shen Rong stared at Jiang Yue before slowly nodding. Jiang Yue was indeed reasonable. If she found out that they were up to no good, then she could just leave the country with her family. After all, the Main Shen Family was not the one supporting their small business in Xin City. They also couldn’t influence her and her sister’s careers.

"Don’t worry about them. I will help you if you encounter any problems in M Country." Jiang Yue smiled at her, making Shen Rong feel comforted. That’s right, Jiang Yue was also here to support her. There was no need to be afraid at all.

Shen Rong might not voice her opinion on Jiang Yue’s issues, yet she was well aware that her friend was incredibly smart and courageous. And for some reason, Shen Rong absolutely trusted Jiang Yue too. It was something that Shen Rong had already embedded in her bones, something that she could not explain.
