Chapter 116 Jiang Zhiyao is ridiculed

"Deal with her? How do you plan to deal with her?"

He Huaisheng didn't want Jiang Zhiyao and An Shixia to be at odds, but An Shixia's current attitude made him want to teach her a lesson.

"that is……"

Jiang Zhiyao whispered a few words in He Huaisheng's ear, and He Huaisheng's expression changed instantly.

"No way! How can you gamble with the child! What am I supposed to do if something goes wrong? Besides, you're frail; if you're pushed, you might miscarry."

Although He Huaisheng's words were a bit exaggerated, it wasn't impossible. Jiang Zhiyao's face turned a little ugly when she thought about the consequences.

However, she looked at He Huaisheng with a firm gaze: "I have made up my mind, and I will protect myself. All I need is a little public opinion."

Are you really sure?

This was the first time He Huaisheng had seen Jiang Zhiyao so opinionated, so he asked her again.

He felt irritable and wanted to smoke, but with a pregnant woman beside him, he resisted the urge.

The current situation is really bad for the two of them, as if they have been set up.

Actually, he had his doubts, feeling that his life trajectory changed after his junior year of college.

From birth until his junior year of college, he succeeded in everything he did, everything went smoothly. But when it came time to find a job, his life took a turn for the worse.

Could it be... that someone switched his life?

The idea flashed through He Huaisheng's mind for a moment, but he quickly dismissed it.

We live in a society governed by law, and superstition should not be spread.

"Then you must always be careful and stay safe. I'll be with you."

He eventually acquiesced; only in this way could the current situation be completely changed.

Although it's a bit unethical.

Yan Lingyu didn't stay at the company for even a second longer before An Shixia urged him to leave.

"Are you happy now?"

On the way back, An Shixia couldn't help but mutter to herself.

The driver was driving ahead, and Yan Lingyu didn't say anything outrageous: "I'll tell you when we get back."

Finally back home, the door had barely closed when Yan Lingyu stretched out his long arm and pinned An Shixia between him and the door in a "wall slam" position.

"Xiaxia, can you repeat what you said to him to me again?"

Yan Lingyu's eyes were practically overflowing with anticipation. He gently pressed his forehead against An Shixia's, and their noses touched. Yan Lingyu didn't move away.

"Xiaxia, please, say it again."

Yan Lingyu's tone held a hint of humble pleading compared to before.

"We grew up together, it was a mutual relationship, and I've always loved you. Is this the sentence?"

Before An Shixia could finish her last word, Yan Lingyu suddenly kissed her.

Unable to work for nearly a month, Yan Lingyu not only bullied An Shixia but also secretly plotted some things.

Xiao Mushen and Wu Yang came specifically to give him advice. An Shixia suspected that the three of them were secretly discussing work in the study, so she tiptoed over.

When Shen Tongtong noticed that An Shixia was missing, she quickly searched for her and saw that she was almost in the study. She suddenly ran over and grabbed her arm: "Shixia, what are you doing here?"

"Shh, I want to see if they're talking about work."

Shen Tongtong knew she must have heard it in her voice, so she covered her mouth, stepped aside, and pretended not to know anything.

An Shixia almost opened the study door. The three people inside exchanged glances. Yan Lingyu told them to proceed according to plan, then got up to open the door, where he met An Shixia's gaze.

"What are you doing in there?"

An Shixia glanced inside and, seeing no documents on the table, stopped looking.

"They just came to chat with me and report on the company's recent developments. I assure you I really wasn't busy with work."

Xiao Mushen added, "Sister-in-law, what Brother Yu said is true!"

Wu Yang nodded repeatedly: "We were just having a normal chat."

Since all three of them said so, An Shixia believed them: "Then can you go to the banquet tonight?"

Yan Lingyu has been injured for almost a month now. Recently, Anjia secured a project, and according to the usual practice, a banquet is to be held.

Because it is the An family, many families come from far and wide, and many small families go to great lengths just to get an invitation.

He Huaisheng also had an invitation letter, which Zhou Xuerou obtained from Zheng Wenbo.

Families that can come here are not to be underestimated; if their projects are noticed, it's an opportunity for their families to rise to the next level.

Most people who came here were talking about work, with only a few young people discussing interesting things that had just happened in Kyoto.

"Hey, have you heard? The An family and the Yan family are getting married. I heard that the two families have already started preparing for the wedding."

"Where did you hear this rumor? They're just together now, the wedding is still a long way off, and they might not even end up together."

"What do you mean by that?"

"I'll tell you a secret, but don't tell anyone else, An Shixia pursued a poor guy for three years in college. Maybe that poor guy was her true love. I found out after asking around for a long time."

“I know that. I go to the same school as them. That guy’s name is He Huaisheng. He’s the school heartthrob, but I think he’s a bit ungrateful.”

"Do you think An Shixia still likes that school heartthrob?"

"So what if he likes her? He Huaisheng is blind. He just likes that Jiang Zhiyao. She's a green tea bitch. I really don't know what kind of seductive tricks she used to make He Huaisheng so devoted to her."

Several wealthy young ladies, who were just watching the drama unfold, were discussing it amongst themselves when He Huaisheng came in. Yesterday, they had only exchanged a few words.

Jiang Zhiyao, who was next to her, gripped her bag tightly, her face slightly pale.

Why do these people draw such a conclusion about her? She's clearly no worse than An Shixia!

They even said that Brother Sheng is blind; it's them who are blind!

Why does she have to keep being outdone by An Shixia? Her grades are like that, her piano skills are like that, and now even Sheng-gege liking her is wrong!

She was furious and walked straight over: "Is this how you noble ladies gossip about people behind their backs? If you were born into a family like mine, I don't believe you would have done any better than me!"

She deliberately emphasized the words "noble lady," which caused the expressions of the people present to change.

"Yes, we weren't born into a family like yours, so naturally we can't compare to you. After all, we won't force ourselves into circles we can't fit into, we won't deliberately try to make our presence known, we won't steal other people's sheet music, and we certainly won't slander or spread rumors about people who are better than us."

These words were clearly a sarcastic remark directed at Jiang Zhiyao. Jiang Zhiyao's face turned pale, as if she would collapse at any moment.

They clearly know nothing, yet they're still reopening their wounds—it's absolutely outrageous!

The person who had just spoken hadn't expected her to react this way with just a few words, and immediately took two steps back: "What are you doing? Don't try to scam me!"
