The Bumpy Road of Marriage: The Ex-Wife Is Expecting
chapter-52

After she had delivered the USB drive, Shui Anluo returned to the hospital and found Chu Ningyi in the middle of the meeting.

Chu Ningyi merely looked up and glanced at her before he continued to talk to the people in his video conference.

“In regard to the new building’s spokesperson, I don’t approve of using a celebrity ambassador,” said Chu Ningyi as he waved his hand and asked Shui Anluo to come in. He then pushed his cup towards her, indicating that he wanted her to get him some water.

Shui Anluo pointed at herself in disbelief. ‘ Do I still have to wait on him?’

Chu Ningyi nodded complacently. ‘ Can’t she see that I’ve grown thirsty from all this talking?’

“The publicity for the new building is in the USB drive, you can make the changes based on the content inside. There’s no need for publicity to go over-the-top for Joyous Fragrance Orchard.” Chu Ningyi reached out and took the cup of water that Shui Anluo had given to him as he watched the special assistant open the files on the USB drive.

“This time…”

Before Chu Ningyi could finish talking, a makeup commercial featuring the currently popular superstar, Feng Feng, appeared on the screen instead of the plan he had for the publicity.

Chu Ningyi narrowed his gaze and stared at the similarly confused group.

Shui Anluo saw this as well but felt that something was not right. ‘ Why had he insisted against using a celebrity ambassador? Wasn’t that a celebrity?’

“Shui Anluo,” Chu Ningyi closed his computer with a slam and looked angrily up at Shui Anluo, “What’s the meaning of this?”

“How should I know what that was? Didn’t you arrange that?” Shui Anluo pursed her lips. ‘ That man had looked like…’

Suddenly, a picture flashed across Shui Anluo’s mind. She may have bumped into this man in the afternoon and he may have been this particular celebrity.

“Ah, I know, this man had bumped into me when I was on my way out in the afternoon. Perhaps the USB drive that I had picked up was his. That…” Shui Anluo thought for a moment and immediately shrank. She may have lost Chu Ningyi’s USB drive.

The atmosphere around Chu Ningyi turned icy. The way he looked at Shui Anluo seemed to be filled with the desire to freeze her on the spot.

“I…” Shui Anluo understood that she had been in the wrong this time. She did not know how much the information in Chu Ningyi’s USB drive was worth either.

“Uncle Chu, find the surveillance video of the lounge this afternoon.”

Shui Anluo quickly spoke up as she watched Chu Ningyi make that call. “There’s no need, that’s definitely the guy who had bumped into me,” quipped Shui Anluo. She was pointing at the computer even though he had closed it but she was certainly not mistaken.

Chu Ningyi sent her a chilly glare. “No need.”

Chu Ningyi ended the call and continued to stare at Shui Anluo. Shui Anluo shivered. She really had not meant to do it, how would she have known that someone would use the same type of USB drive as Chu Ningyi?

“Were there any classified information inside the drive?” Shui Anluo thought seriously. However, even if there was any classified information, she could not pay for it anyway.

Just as Shui Anluo was thinking things over, someone knocked on the door. Chu Ningyi turned to look and the person who walked in was the haughty celebrity who had bumped into her this afternoon.

When Feng Feng laid his eyes on Shui Anluo, a faint smile appeared in his peach blossom eyes. He then dropped the USB drive in his hand next to Chu Ningyi. “I saw this just as I was about to go home. Looks like this little secretary had taken the wrong USB drive.”

Chu Ningyi frowned and looked at Feng Feng. “This matter doesn’t concern you. Leave quickly.”

Feng Feng raised his brow. “You’re the one burning bridges after crossing the river.” He then looked at Shui Anluo again. “Little girl, there’s nothing great about me but I do know that you’re going to provoke a lawsuit.”
