C9 Could It be That He Seduced Another Rich Woman?

Jiang Qiao'er completely ignored the Manager.

She turned to the last page of the contract, where she found Su Yu's signature and a photocopy of his ID.

Realizing that Su Yu had indeed purchased the house, Jiang Qiao'er was utterly flabbergasted.

The Manager quickly snatched the contract from her and passed it to Lily, who was standing behind him.

Jiang Qiao'er was incredulous. She confronted the Manager, "How can this be? Did you check his credit history? He's just divorced my best friend and left all his property to her. There's no way he could afford fifty million yuan!"

The Manager courteously replied, "Miss, Mr. Su has indeed purchased the finest villa in Golden Top Land outright. It's all detailed in the contract. Furthermore, we've gifted Mr. Su a storefront property. I'm not familiar with your best friend, but it seems she may have made a regrettable choice."

He blinked, implying more than he said. He wanted to call Jiang Qiao'er's best friend a fool but thought better of it, especially given Jiang Qiao'er's refined appearance. The Manager surmised she was a woman of considerable standing.

The gentleman accompanying Jiang Qiao'er had been observing with a furrowed brow.

Seeing Jiang Qiao'er's shock, he inquired, "Director Jiang, are you okay? Perhaps we should reschedule our house viewing?"

Without responding, Jiang Qiao'er remained in a state of disbelief.

Su Yu's family had always been poor, relying on Lin Qinghan for support. How had he become wealthy so suddenly after the divorce?

Something didn't add up.

Noticing Jiang Qiao'er's lack of response, the gentleman gently tapped her shoulder.

Snapping out of her daze, Jiang Qiao'er asked, "What is it?"

"Director Jiang, if today isn't convenient, we can discuss this another time."

"Alright."

"I'll have the driver take you home."

"Okay. Let's go."

Together, Jiang Qiao'er and the man headed out.

The Manager, sensing a lost sale, became anxious. Why were they leaving so abruptly?

He gestured covertly to the female sales associates.

The women approached Jiang Qiao'er and the man.

"Sir, are you interested in purchasing a home?"

"We can show you several excellent properties if you're looking to buy."

The man glanced at Jiang Qiao'er, noting her distraction, and felt a twinge of annoyance. From their earlier conversation, he knew Su Yu was her best friend's ex-husband. He suspected Jiang Qiao'er had feelings for Su Yu; otherwise, why would she be upset about his property purchase?

He didn't dismiss the saleswomen's offer to show him houses. He was looking to establish business in the city and was interested in buying a property.

Since Jiang Qiao'er wasn't in the right frame of mind to assist him, he decided to consider the saleswomen's suggestions.

Just as he was about to express his intent to stay, Jiang Qiao'er abruptly turned to the Manager and demanded, "Is there a surveillance camera at the entrance?"

"Miss, what do you need it for?"

"Let me see the surveillance footage. I need that person's license plate number."

The Manager, alarmed, replied, "Miss, that's illegal. We can't comply with such a request."

Jiang Qiao'er, with imperious disdain, shot back, "No? Do you have any idea who I am? I am the President of Jiangchen Group."

The Manager, seasoned from years of dealing with the affluent, responded with a dismissive smile, "I apologize, Miss, but even if you were the mayor's daughter, we cannot show you the surveillance footage. It would violate our clients' privacy."

He then retreated to his office, closing the door firmly behind him.

Enraged, Jiang Qiao'er shouted after him, "You scoundrel, do you believe I could have the CEO of your company fire you?"

The man who had accompanied Jiang Qiao'er frowned deeper, his displeasure growing.

It was his first time witnessing Jiang Qiao'er's haughty demeanor.

He began to question the wisdom of future collaborations with Jiangchen Group.

Shaking his head, he left without a word.

Jiang Qiao'er continued to hurl insults towards the Manager's office.

But when she turned and saw the man leaving, she hurried after him, "Director Zhao, please wait. Let me arrange for my driver to take you."

"I don't need your driver. Mine will be here shortly," Director Zhao replied.

At that moment, Jiang Qiao'er lost interest in further conversation.

She climbed into her car and dialed Lin Qinghan's number.

Lin Qinghan was in a meeting, her phone set to silent.

After several unanswered calls, Jiang Qiao'er tried reaching out via WeChat.

Still getting no response, she sent a message urging Lin Qinghan to get back to her as soon as possible.

After Jiang Qiao'er had taken care of everything, she noticed the female sales associates from the sales department still glancing her way.

She thought to herself, "Just wait. You're all going to be let go."

She instructed her driver to take her back to the company.

On the way, Jiang Qiao'er picked up a call from Lin Qinghan.

"Qiao'er, what's so urgent that you're calling me?" inquired Lin Qinghan.

"What? You didn't get my message?" Jiang Qiao'er replied.

"Message? What did you send me?"

"I had just wrapped up a meeting and got back to my office when I noticed you'd called me over a dozen times."

"I figured I should return your call right away. I didn't even check my messages," explained Lin Qinghan.

"What's going on? Why were you so eager to reach me?" Lin Qinghan asked, her voice light with curiosity.

With a hint of intrigue in her tone, Jiang Qiao'er teased, "I was with someone house hunting at Golden Top Land today. Guess who I ran into?"

"I'm not familiar with your friends. How would I know who you bumped into?" Lin Qinghan responded.

"Just take a guess. This person has a connection to you," pressed Jiang Qiao'er.

"Could it be Mary? Or Shirley? They've been flaunting their boyfriends lately, haven't they? One of them mentioned they were planning to get married. Was she checking out a bridal suite?" Lin Qinghan ventured.

Jiang Qiao'er blurted out in frustration, "No! It was Su Yu!"

Lin Qinghan was taken aback. "Who?"

"Su Yu, your ex-husband who you just divorced yesterday," Jiang Qiao'er clarified.

Lin Qinghan paused for a moment, then burst into laughter. "That's impossible. Where would Su Yu get the money to afford a place at Golden Top Land?"

"I'm puzzled too. Didn't you say Su Yu walked away from the divorce without taking anything?" Jiang Qiao'er remarked.

Lin Qinghan felt a twinge of displeasure. She asked with a strained smile, "It couldn't be Su Yu. Are you sure you didn't mistake someone else for him?"

"I couldn't possibly have made a mistake. I even saw his house purchase contract."

"The contract had Su Yu's ID number on it. I'm positive I identified the right person!" Jiang Qiao'er asserted.
