Chapter 1049: Small Red Icon
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Jiang Xuecheng received the email, it happened to be when Di Chen was having a meeting on Wednesday afternoon.
He was sitting in the main seat with Jiang Haoxuan next to him, and Su Wan was sitting six chairs away.
There were also a lot of people in the middle.
Jiang Xuecheng was talking about a merger. He looked dignified, pointing out the various shortcomings in the previous merger proposal and the problem of the flow of funds.
However, when he saw the mailbox icon that suddenly lit up in the lower right corner of the screen…
Jiang Xuecheng’s cold voice suddenly stopped.
Everyone was stunned. They did not understand why Jiang Xuecheng had suddenly stopped talking.
The small red icon that lit up in the mailbox could not show the sender or the content.
But for some reason, Jiang Xuecheng had an intuition.
That must be the message from the DNA test he had found.
Su Wan seemed to have sensed Jiang Xuecheng’s mood. She suddenly raised her head and looked into his eyes.
Both of them saw the seriousness in each other’s eyes at the same time.
Jiang Xuecheng had always been a calm person. No matter what he encountered, he would always press forward.
But at this moment, he suddenly felt an inexplicable fear.
The thought of hoping Qiran was his biological son seemed to possessed him as it was tightly entwined in his heart.
Even Jiang Xuecheng knew that some things could not be achieved just by looking forward to it.
…
Jiang Xuecheng took a deep breath and tried his best not to look at the small red icon on the mailbox.
He pretended to be calm and turned off the notification.
Then he continued to explain the acquisition of another group.
According to his expectations, he would have to talk for at least half an hour.
He had planned many ideas in advance, but that day, for the first time ever, Jiang Xuecheng did not continue.
He used only ten minutes to explain all the important content, and many branches and details were cut off by him.
Jiang Xuecheng’s explanation was not hurried. Even if it fell into the ears of others, it was still calm and elegant.
Only Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan knew what kind of torture that email would bring them.
…
Then, Jiang Xuecheng straight away found a director in charge of related matters to go up and discuss in detail.
He returned to his seat.
His back was straight, and his gaze seemed to fall on the director’s presentation, but in fact, his thoughts had already drifted far away.
However, Jiang Xuecheng did not open the email.
Nor did he have any intention of ending the meeting early.
Su Wan sat some distance away from him, and the hand under the table was clutching her arm tightly. Her gaze seemed both expectant and worried.
The unknown always seemed so terrifying.
Su Wan sat on the chair, feeling as if there were fine needles on it, mercilessly stabbing into her flesh.
Su Wan looked at Jiang Xuecheng from across the sky, unable to sit still.
Fortunately, the director who went up to narrate the situation was not a burden. He quickly ended the presentation of the merger proposal.
After some comments, the day’s meeting was over.
According to usual practice, Jiang Xuecheng would usually point out some problems at once.
However, this time there were no problems.
Everyone felt a little strange, but they didn’t say anything.
As for the merger proposal of another group, the dust settled just like that when Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng were absent-minded.
No matter how important the deal was, at this moment, it wasn’t as important to Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng as that email.
…
As soon as the meeting ended, Jiang Xuecheng suddenly stood up.
With a cold and indifferent expression, he suddenly called out Su Wan’s name.
“Director Su, come to my office for a moment.”
“Okay.”
Su Wan raised her head and nodded at Jiang Xuecheng. Her hands trembled slightly due to nervousness, but her eyes were astonishingly bright, with a look that others could not understand.
Because they were in the company, when Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan had other people around, they always addressed each other as superior and subordinate.
Those people all understood how good the relationship between Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng was.
When they saw that they wanted to meet in private, they all looked at their colleagues beside them tacitly.
…
Under the gossiping gaze of the crowd, Su Wan took a step forward and followed Jiang Xuecheng out.
Jiang Xuecheng’s office was on the 27th floor. He had a private elevator.
Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng walked in just like that.
Jiang Xuecheng’s expression was cold, and Su Wan’s face was filled with nervousness.
Even when she walked into the private elevator, Su Wan still felt her heart beating non-stop.
The space in the elevator was not big. The two of them stood in it and did not speak, making the atmosphere even more stagnant.
Just as the elevator continued to rise, Jiang Xuecheng’s voice suddenly rang in Su Wan’s ears.
“Do you want to read it now?”
“Wh… What?”
Su Wan was stunned. When she met Jiang Xuecheng’s deep, sea-like eyes, she suddenly understood what Jiang Xuecheng meant.
Jiang Xuecheng was asking her if she wanted to read the email now so that she could know the result directly.
Su Wan’s mood was inexplicably heavy.
She grabbed Jiang Xuecheng’s arm and shook her head decisively.
“No… We’d better wait until we get to your office.”
Looking at it now, it was very likely that the death sentence would be directly pronounced.
She would rather choose a suspended execution.
A suspended death sentence was better than a direct death sentence, even if it was just a final struggle of a few dozen seconds.
…
With a ding, the elevator reached the 27th floor.
Su Wan took a deep breath and followed Jiang Xuecheng to his office.
Su Wan sat down on the leather sofa without any hesitation. She did not ask to see the final answer.
Jiang Xuecheng understood her psychology, so he made a cup of Taiping Houkui for Su Wan and himself.
He liked tea, coffee, and occasionally red wine. To a certain extent, they were all to relieve pressure.
Looking at the curling tea mist in front of her, Su Wan bit her lip nervously and finally spoke.
“Xuecheng, open it and see.”
As Su Wan spoke, she immediately sat next to Xuecheng and grabbed the sleeve of Xuecheng’s suit with one hand.
Su Wan was completely unaware of this.
And Xuecheng noticed Su Wan’s small movements.
He could empathize with how nervous she was.
However, they would find out sooner or later.
Xuecheng restrained his expression and finally opened the email.
As expected, the sender was the DNA identification team.
In fact, Jiang Xuecheng had a lot of email addresses. In order to change his identity, the email address he provided was not the one he usually used. It was just related to the recipient.
“Mr. Song, after verification, the DNA is 99.7% and 99.8% similar to the other two RCP values you provided. He is a direct descendant of the other two people.”
That’s right, the fake identity that Jiang Xuecheng used was a wealthy family with the surname song.
Su Wan didn’t quite understand what RCP values were, nor did she want to understand what terms they were.
Her focus was on the last conclusion.
He is a direct descendent of the other two.
With a loud bang, the white porcelain cup in Su Wan’s hand fell to the ground.
