Rules of Engagement Chapter 237 Who Will Benefit From It

"It doesn't matter. Just put them aside." Jason waved his hand. He was used to such heavy work.

"And there are some materials I sent you in the e-mail just now. I need you to have a look." The
secretary reported the work one by one, reminding Jason of what he needed to do, "A case of the
Jiangnan project..."

the secretary said and took a look at Elsa, who immediately knew that he was going to report an
important project. She immediately stood up and said, "Then Mr. Jason, I'll go back first."

"No need. Help me with this document. I have something to tell you later." Jason handed a stack of
documents to Elsa.

Taking it over, Elsa had no choice but to follow his words. She walked to the table where she had been
working a little far away from Jason and sat down. The secretary was still very cautious and reported
something to Jason in a simple way and in a low voice. Jason nodded frequently and the secretary
finally finished speaking after a long time. Jason waved his secretary away.

He rubbed between his eyebrows tiredly. He was almost sixty years old. The heavy work pressure
made his temples turn pale, and there were a lot of things to worry about at home.

"Alas," he sighed and wanted to say something to Elsa. Thinking of his family, he felt that something
was not right. He was a little too obvious early on. Why did he want to disturb Elsa's peaceful life at this
time? Who would benefit from it?

It must be the happiest thing for Elsa to marry Soren. But when he thought of the news he had heard
these two days, he felt a little worried that Elsa might have some physical problems and could not be
pregnant normally. He was eager to care about her and see if she was doing well. As soon as he came
back after dealing with an emergency, he couldn't wait to call Elsa to his office.



Now it was too obvious. 'This is so bad! This is so bad!'

He stood up and wanted to tell Elsa that there was nothing for her to do here, so she could go back
first.

Taking back the pile of documents just now, Elsa told him in detail about the work she had just done,
how was the progress, and where had it been completed. In just an hour, she had already sorted out
the priorities of the pile of documents, and had well planned the content. No matter who took over it, he
or she could easily continue to deal with the work.

Jason sighed in his heart, 'Why can't Caspar and Candice make me not worry about them?' There was
no doubt about Caspar's working ability, but it depended on his mood. When he was in a bad mood, no
one could let him do anything. Being emotional was a man's biggest killer and the biggest obstacle in
his career. Jason had educated Caspar for so many years, but he still hadn't learned what shrewdness
was and what emotion control was.

As for Candice... Thinking of his daughter, Jason felt more worried.

"Mr. Jason? Mr. Jason? Mr. Jason?" It was not until Elsa called Jason several times that he came to his
senses.

With delicate features and gentle expression, Elsa spoke and did things in an orderly manner. Her
temperament made people feel indescribable peace. "Sorry, what are you talking about, Elsa?" said
Jason with a smile.

Elsa smiled and said, "I do have something to ask you. Something happened two days ago and I didn't
go home in time. I heard that you had called Ren a lot?"

"Yes. I have been an old friend of Fred for many years, and I treated Ren as my own son. When I heard
that something happened to his family, I was anxious, so I couldn't help paying more attention to it.



Besides, I've been with you for a long time and treated you as a subordinate that I can take care of. Do
you think I care too much?" Jason was still as bright, generous and kind as before.

But Elsa always felt that his words were too evasive. When she was about to say something, the door
was pushed open. A figure broke in. The secretary pulled her in succession. "Madam, Mr. Jason has
an emergency to deal with. You can't go in like this..."

Shirley turned around and slapped the secretary in the face. She said angrily, "What's the emergency?
Why can't he even care about his son and daughter?!"

Shirley had always been gentle and elegant. The Secretary had never seen her lose her temper like
this, and he had never been slapped or humiliated like this. He didn't know what to say for a moment.

Jason cleared his throat and said solemnly, "Shirley, what are you doing? This is the municipal
government. What's your manner like this?"

The secretary didn't know what had happened. Judging from the way Jason looked, he and Elsa were
really dealing with business. Shirley came here in such a big way, but he didn't know what happened,
so he had to close the door for Jason and separated the farce from the outside.

"What am I doing?! I'd like to ask what you are doing!" Shirley was about to slap Elsa, but her wrist was
gripped by Jason.

Jason whispered to Elsa, "Elsa, it's none of your business here. You can go out first."

Elsa knew that the Qiao family's affairs had always been complicated, and there were a lot of secrets,
so she had to go out of the house.

"Jason Qiao, don't let Elsa go!" Shirley was so angry that she changed her tone. She struggled to get
rid of Jason and grabbed Elsa.



"Shirley Zhao, let go of Elsa. Look at yourself! Let's talk about it when we get back!" Jason was very
angry and went up to pull Shirley.

Shirley was in a fit of anger, and Elsa also wanted to leave as soon as possible. Jason was very
dissatisfied with Shirley's attitude. In the struggling, Jason gave Shirley a slap in the face.

The sound of slapping on the face made the air freeze. After almost a second of silence, Shirley's
anger broke out completely. She lost control and pushed Jason, shouting, "Jason Qiao! How dare you
hit me! How dare you hit me for the daughter of a bitch?!"

Shocked, Elsa turned to look at Shirley. Jason was so angry that he trembled. "What the hell are you
doing? Are you out of your mind? You can talk nonsense!"

"Nonsense?! I'm talking nonsense?! Jason, I have endured this for more than twenty years. I have
suffered for more than twenty years. For this family and for my children, I don't say a word! I didn't say
a word! But look at yourself now. Your daughter-in-law is pregnant, and your son is indulged in women
every day. You don't scold him and regulate his behavior. Your daughter has an abortion, and she has
stayed in the hospital for two days and two nights. But you did not care her for one second! You said
you were busy. You can be busy with the affairs of the citizens of Linchuan City, but what are you busy
with? You are busy with accompanying your daughter that your mistress gave birth to. You are so
anxious for her little thing. You even sent a large number of people to look for her in Linchuan City!
Jason. Jason, do you have a conscience? You don't care about the Qiao family at all, do you?" Shirley
closed her eyes, and her painful voice became hard to recognize that it was her own voice, which was
totally different from the elegant and kind woman when she first met with Elsa.

Jason was also shocked. He knew that he had been behaving inappropriately recently and was too
concerned about Elsa. But he had never thought that Shirley would know about it from the very



beginning. It once made him feel painful and guilty, and it also took him many years to forget it.
However, the existence of Elsa made him unable to ignore the mistake he had made.

All of a sudden, Elsa was immersed in pain and bewilderment. She felt as if there was something hard
to explain in her heart that had suddenly been opened. She looked at Jason in confusion, and then
looked at Shirley. Her voice became a little hoarse. "What are you talking about?"

"Elsa, you go back first. This is the matter of our Qiao family. I will explain it to you later." Jason went to
hold Elsa.

Shirley looked at Elsa coldly, with great pain, helplessness and despair in her eyes, which almost
burned Elsa. Wherever Shirley looked, it seemed to be tainted by her resentment. The indelible pain
filled the whole room. She knew that Shirley was absolutely not lying. Jason had always been treating
her like this, and finally, there was a reasonable explanation for his care. She looked at Jason seriously
and said, "Mr. Jason, this matter has something to do with me, right?"

"It's none of your business. You go back first!" Jason bellowed, his face turning blue and pale. It was
obvious that he was suppressing something and trying to hide something.

Not frightened by his anger, Elsa raised her voice and said, "Mr. Jason! I have the right to know the
truth about everything related to me! How long do you want to hide it from me?"

Shirley was no longer out of control just now. It seemed that after she spoke out her suppressed
emotions in the past twenty years, she felt very relaxed. With a disdainful look in her eyes, she looked
at Elsa and said, "How dare Jason tell you about this? He is afraid of affecting his future! If it weren't for
the sake of Caper and Candice, I would have divorced him. Elsa, I didn't know you were the daughter
of that woman. I also wanted to keep this matter in my mind. It was because Jason had been
particularly concerned about you that I finally connected you with that bitch more than twenty years



ago. Look at what this man who wants to be a kind father has done! He may be your father, but he
doesn't deserve to be the father of Caper and Candice anymore!"

Clenching her fists, Elsa said with tears in her eyes, "Then my mother... Who is she?"

"Enough! Stop it!" Jason shouted, "It was my fault that year. Elsa, you are indeed my child. I didn't want
to break your peaceful life, but now that it's done, I will bear the punishment. It had nothing to do with
Elsa. She was just a child. Shirley, let Elsa leave first. I'll make it clear to you. Don't get the child
involved."
