Chapter 296: Hiding Behind The Mask...

Jiang Yang leaned back in a chair and said while being relaxed, "I keep my professional and personal matters separate."

"Huh?" Nixxxie didn't understand what he meant.

Seeing the big question mark on her forehead Jiang replied to her unspoken question, "Your mother is my patient and when I came to check her, it was my professional matter and you belong to my personal matter."

"Me? Personal matter?" Nixxxie was puzzled to hear it. When did she become his personal matter as they haven't talked properly, even for once?

Jiang Yang nodded, "Hmm! As I like you, you belong to my personal matter. Isn't it fair?"

" Cough-Cough !"What he said was like someone threw a bomb on her.

Seeing her coughing with the shock she just got now, Jiang Yang smiled and passed her water bottle. She accepted it and as she had a sip, he spoke again.

"Why I am feeling like you are a different person from how I saw you at the university?"

Nixxxie drank water and calmed herself down, "You are mistaken."

"Is that so?" He didn't stress on it much as he saw she was not willing to talk about it.

Before Jiang Yang could say or ask her something else, she stood up from the chair, "I should take a leave now."

"Why? Are you scared?" he asked sarcastically.

Hearing it she stopped in her place and asked to look at him, "Why should I?"

"As I said, I like you, you are running away." He replied looking up at her while sitting in his chair calmly.

"I came here to see the doctor of my mother and as I finished discussing important stuff, I will take a leave." Saying it, she left Jiang Yang's cabin.

Once she left he spoke to himself, "I think the destiny wants us to be together that's why we met here like this, Nixxxie." He leaned back in the chair and said with his eyes closed, "Sorry my friends but I think I really like her."

As Nixxxie left his cabin, she went straight to the washroom. She washed her face to calm herself down. She was scared and tensed too. The strong and arrogant looking girl was different this time like what she looked outside was the mask wore by her.

Her legs and hands were shaking with her eyes closed, standing in front of a mirror. It was a fear of getting caught by someone and she didn't want it. She wanted to keep wearing that mask, showing she was very strong.

Opening her eyes Nixxxie looked in the mirror. She looked like she had lots of things in her mind but at the same time, she looked helpless with teary eyes. She stood there for a while looking at herself blankly. She cleaned her face and went back to the VIP patient's room.

She sat on the couch in the room while staring at her mother, who was breathing but looked more like a lifeless body. Tears rolled down from her eyes, "I am sorry, mother. I am helpless. I wish brother Xi Guo was alive and he would be here with us."

Same-day in the morning after breakfast, Lu Feng and Lu Qiang both left the Lu Mansion. Lu Feng remembered what he and Lu Qiang talked about last night and called him from his car. He wore a Bluetooth earphone and waited for Lu Qiang to receive a call,

Lu Qiang saw, Lu Feng's number flashing on his screen and answered it, "Tell me."

"I called to ask if you remember what we decided last night."

"About using San Zemin to keep an eye on Jiang Yang?" Lu Qiang asked.

"Hmm!"

"Yeah, I am going to do it once I am in the office. I instructed Xiao Min to call him there."

"Okay! Good to know it. See you later."

"Hmm!" Saying it both cut the calls and went to their destinations.

There was something, these two brothers were worried about when it came to the Xi family and they wanted to take measures before something bad could happen. They knew Jiang Yang, if he liked that girl and felt something about her in his heart, he will go to her.

Most importantly, if he will get to know about her condition, then it was impossible to stop him. He will definitely try to help her and get her out of it, even though it won't be possible for him. He never cared about what might happen to him.

When Lu Qiang went to the office, Xiao Min was waiting for him in the reception. When both entered the lift Xiao Min spoke, "San Zemin is going to be here in fifteen minutes."

"Hmm!"

Lu Qiang was working in his office, just then there was a knock on the door and the tall man in a black suit entered the office along with Xiao Min.

Lu Qiang looked at them as they walked towards him.

"Good morning president Lu." The tall man in a black suit spoke.

"Morning, San Zemin" Saying it Lu Qiang signaled him to have a sit.

San Zemin sat in the chair, "I am glad that you need me again after so many years and I can be useful to you."

Lu Qiang smiled to hear it and said, "I am glad that like in the past, you are here again to help me."

San Zemin was an ex-military man. He was good at spying and had his own team of trained people. He was in his late thirties and looked amazingly impressive. Black hair with golden color highlights, deep black eyes, long and sharp nose with a square jawline. His build was strong and muscular.

Lu Qiang met him after his father's accident through Lu Jinhai's assistant and Xiao Min's father, Xiao-Dong. He helped Lu Qiang to get the secrets of so many people who were opposing Lu Qiang to lead this company and tried to covet his father's hard work.
