The CEO's Woman Chapter 238 Saviour

Chapter 238 Saviour

"PA"
The slap echoed inside the room as the pain stung her face. A small, red cut was instantly visible just below her eye.
Jiang Mian staggered backward, clutching her ashen face, her eyes watering.
"How dare you ruin my plans?" Li Qiang bellowed before sending another slap towards Jiang Mian.
His hand cracked across the other side of her face, sending her slamming into the wall behind her.
Black dots instantly appeared in Jiang Mian's vision as tears started to spill all over her face. "You... You slapped me?"
Disbelief laced her voice as she looked at the fuming Li Qiang. She could not understand why Li Qiang was so mad just because of a news article about what had happened the other night.
"How dare you hurt me?" she raged while clutching her cheeks; her lower lip was already bleeding.
"SHUT UP! I could even kill you if I wanted to!" Li Qiang said. "You stupid piece of sh*t! You ruined everything! How could you lose control and do something so stupid? Huh? I laid out everything for you!"
"I caused chaos and confusion! Made them come here! Lured them so you can ruin them!" He pointed his fingers at Jiang Mian. "STUPID! YOU ARE JUST LIKE YOUR MOTHER!!! Now how will you avenge your mother's death? Huh? That damn Jiang Yue will be watching you like a predator watches its prey!"
"You stupid woman!" he added before downing a glass of his favorite whiskey. "I shouldn't have saved you from Jiang Yue! I should have let her kill you like she killed your mother!"
Jiang Mian can't help but sob at Li Qiang's words. That's right; how could she have doubted Li Qiang? He had saved her from Jiang Yue's viciousness. Right; Li Qiang is her savior and her father. Without him, Jiang Yue would have devoured her alive.
"I did not know that they had invited some media to the event. I... I thought it was private. Aside from that... Aside from that, I did not expect to see Jiang Yue at the gala guarding Fu Jin," she explained.
"Shut up! Don't infuriate me even more, or I will kill you myself!" Li Qiang said.
"I... I am sorry."
Li Qiang looked at Jiang Mian and tried to stop the urge to kill her right then and there. 'Stupid emotional b*tch,' he thought.
"Go! Leave! And don't show your face to Wang Ruo! Do you hear me?" he said, his gaze still cold. "And do not make a move! Do not attract Fu Jin and Jiang Yue's attention!"
Jiang Mian nodded before wiping the blood from her lips and limping her way out of Li Qiang's room.
After Jiang Mian closed the door, Li Qiang called his trusted man and asked, "Is everything prepared?"
"Yes, Master. We are just waiting for your signal," the man nodded.
"Good. Wait for my order. For now, let's take it slow... Jiang Yue will be watching Jiang Mian, so we can't make a move that will raise her suspicions." He walked towards his desk and took a seat. "I don't want Jiang Yue to think that someone else is behind Jiang Mian's actions."
"Understood. What about the mistress?"
Li Qiang tapped the table, his thoughts elsewhere as his gaze turned gentle. "Don't let her out of this house and never let her use the computer without supervision."
"Understood. What about her request to go to Jiang Mian and personally take care of her?"
The man watched as Li Qiang's gaze turned towards the window, seemingly reminiscing about something. "No. She can't. I have to make sure that she really has amnesia."
The thought of Wang Ruo faking her memory loss only added to Li Qiang's headache. Her Wang Ruo would not fool him, right? However, Wang Ruo was not dumb. He knew she was capable of fooling him. Like how she had fooled him...
The man nodded before silently walking out of the room, leaving Li Qiang alone. Then a sudden cold assaulted Li Qiang's skin. He instantly frowned and looked at the slightly opened window.
He walked towards the window and opened it wide, revealing the beautiful lawn in front of him. He wondered, 'Why was the window open when I had made sure to lock it earlier.'
Another wave of cold wind hit him, making him immediately close the window. It was almost winter so he had made sure to close it earlier. 'It must be the wind,' he thought. He must have closed it earlier but forgot to lock the window.
Li Qiang made sure to lock the window this time and went back into his desk.
His action was so quick that he missed the eyes that were staring coldly at him. The eyes were narrowed, rigid and cold; so cold it was frightening, almost dangerous.
Then just like that, the eyes disappeared into the silence of the night. As if they were never there in the first place.
And as for the owner of those eyes? Well... we will know who it was, soon.
