1402 A Photo Created a Thousand Waves

“Oh, right.”

Qiao Yuan suddenly stood up and revealed a mysterious and complicated smile, making Jian Ai dumbfounded.

Then, Qiao Yuan handed a morning newspaper to Jian Ai. “Everyone should know about this now.”

Jian Ai almost choked on her saliva.

Wasn’t the photo in the newspaper the scene of her and Ji Haoyu yesterday?

Someone had secretly taken a photo, and it was even published in the newspaper!

“Look at your expression. Are you even more surprised than us?” Qiao Yuan smiled.

Jian Ai touched her nose in embarrassment. She did not expect a photo of her kissing her boyfriend would appear in the newspaper one day.

“Uncle, stop joking with me. My family should know about this, right?” Jian Ai said.

Qiao Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly. “Yes, as soon as I entered the company this morning, your aunt came to me with the newspaper. Xiao Yu also mentioned this in the morning. Your mother and aunt know.”

Jian Ai slapped her forehead. Good lord, this news was fast.

She initially wanted to bring Ji Haoyu to see her parents tonight and give him an official status.

Now, this newspaper was like an imperial decree that helped her announce it to the world.

“Will you bring him along tonight?” Qiao Yuan asked appropriately.

Jian Ai nodded. “Yes. See you tonight.”

Initially, she did not want to hide it, but this announcement was a little sudden, making her very passive.

When she came out of Qiao Yuan’s office, Jian Yu had not finished talking to the customer. Jian Ai didn’t wait for him and left the company.

At the Jian Group.

“CEO! CEO?”

The secretary called out a few times before pulling Jian Changsheng back.

Putting down the newspaper in his hand, Jian Changsheng exhaled. “What’s wrong?”

The secretary looked a little suspicious and placed the document in her hand on the CEO’s desk.

It was rare for her to see the CEO like this. He was in a daze until she entered.

“These documents need your signature. Manager Qi is already here. He’s waiting for you in the guest room,” the secretary said softly.

Jian Changsheng nodded and quickly signed the document. He handed it to his secretary and said, “Ask Manager Qi to wait for a moment. I’ll come over after handling some things.”

The secretary nodded and turned to leave.

Jian Changsheng’s gaze landed on the newspaper again.

Xiao Ai was back. The first piece of news was enough to shock him.

She was with Ji Haoyu from the Ji Group. If he had not seen this photo, Jian Changsheng would not have believed such a thing.

However, it had indeed happened. His daughter and the CEO of the number one financial group in Asia.

After thinking for a moment, Jian Changsheng took out his phone and dialed a number.

“Hello, East Sea Real Estate’s general manager’s office.”

Someone picked up the phone. It was Bai Zhou’s secretary.

Jian Changsheng said calmly, “I’m Jian Changsheng from the Jian Group. I want to make an appointment with your CEO for dinner. I wonder when is the right time?”

As someone in the real estate industry, the secretary naturally knew who Jian Changsheng was.

“I’m sorry, Manager Bai’s schedule is already full,” the secretary said.

Jian Changsheng explained patiently, “It’s not Manager Bai. It’s the CEO of your corporation, Jian Ai!”

The tone on the other end of the phone froze, and the secretary forgot to react for a moment because she had never received a call regarding the CEO.

Moreover, she was Bai Zhou’s secretary. Manager Bai had instructed her to report to him or ask the other party to contact him if there were any appointments with the CEO.

When she came back to her senses, the secretary answered professionally, “I’m sorry, CEO Jian. I don’t have the authority to make any appointments for the CEO. If you want to have dinner with the CEO, you need to contact Manager Bai. He will handle it himself.”

Jian Changsheng paused for a moment and could only give up. He thanked her and hung up.

Contact Bai Zhou?

Jian Changsheng didn’t think this method was any different from contacting Jian Ai directly.

Over the past few years, Jian Changsheng had interacted a lot with Bai Zhou at various cocktail parties in Baiyun. This person looked elegant, but he was scheming. He could control the situation with a smile.

Moreover, he had always been careful with his attitude towards him. He was a typical friend who looked passable on the surface. Jian Changsheng knew that his relationship with Xiao Ai was extraordinary. The reason Bai Zhou did not like him was probably that Bai Zhou knew his identity.

Therefore, he knew very well that he couldn’t ask Bai Zhou to make a dinner appointment with Xiao Ai.

However, he wanted to see Xiao Ai, chat with her, and ask her where she had been for the past two years and if she was doing well.

Wolong Harbor Community.

One photo caused a thousand ripples. The other person who saw the photo was Yu Zhihuan.

This was Qiu Jiahao’s villa. Yu Zhihuan was nestled on the sofa in the living room with the newspaper lying on the coffee table.

At that time, no one could be completely carefree in that situation, but Yu Zhihuan had already tried her best to make herself look decent.

However, when this photo appeared in front of her, the bone-piercing pain reflected the fact that she still loved Ji Haoyu.

In the photo, he was so affectionate that even his eyes were brimming with happiness and joy. This was the Ji Haoyu she had never seen before.

He loved her.

However, Yu Zhihuan did not cry. She knew she had missed this man.

She was just a little sad and… regretful.

“Don’t think about it.”

At this moment, Qiu Jiahao walked over and put away the newspaper. He looked at Yu Zhihuan and said, “You already know about this. Jian Ai has been gone for two years, and Young Master Ji has been waiting for her. Isn’t it obvious?”

Obviously, Qiu Jiahao was using stimulating words to wake Yu Zhihuan up.

They both left, but Ji Haoyu was only willing to wait for Jian Ai.

Everything was obvious at a glance. Ji Haoyu’s previous feelings for Yu Zhihuan and his current feelings for Jian Ai were two completely different things.

That was not love. Yu Zhihuan should know that she had never really gotten Ji Haoyu.

How could Yu Zhihuan not know? She knew better than anyone.

In the end, she exhaled deeply. Yu Zhihuan looked up at Qiu Jiahao and said, “Jiahao, I’ll have to trouble you for a while. I’ll move out when I find a job.”

Seeing that she had changed the topic, Qiu Jiahao heaved a sigh of relief. “Don’t stand on ceremony with me. Do you really plan to stay in Baiyun City to develop? You’re a supermodel who returned from San Marino. Isn’t it a waste of talent if you hide here?”

Yu Zhihuan smiled and shrugged. “I can’t say for sure. I’m going to meet a few entertainment companies today. If I’m not satisfied, I might go to the capital.”

“The capital is good.” Qiu Jiahao nodded in agreement. “There are more opportunities in the capital than here. Stay here in peace during this period. If you think it’s inconvenient for me to be here, I’ll move out today. I have a few empty houses outside.”

Yu Zhihuan smiled and nodded. “Thank you.”
