Chapter Twenty-Seven: It Turns Out She Was Heartbroken

"She's trying to seduce him again," was Fu Yanjing's first reaction.

He looked down at Wen Jinye, whose bright eyes were filled with clear moisture, and the corners of her eyes were reddish, as if she had just been crying.

This expression made Fu Yanjing feel somewhat dazed, and his throat inexplicably felt itchy.

She was the one who said she had no regrets, she was the one who said she would never bother him again, and she was the one who cursed and bit him when she was drunk.

It was as if they had suffered a tremendous injustice.

Yet, they always find themselves again at every seemingly disconnected point.

He even suspected that this was some low-level dog training method that Wen Jinye had used on him.

Fu Yanjing's gaze was sharp and piercing, as if he could see right through Wen Jin, trying to discern some new tricks or schemes on her face.

When Fu Yanjing didn't speak for a long time, Wen Jin's desperate courage slowly faded, and she began to regret her recklessness.

She felt a chill and took two steps back in a panic, "Never mind, I won't—"

"Can."

Fu Yanjing tossed the car keys into her arms, averted his gaze, and said calmly, "Wait for me in the parking lot."

"If you're bored, you can book a private room and put it on my tab."

never mind.

He is surrounded by people with ulterior motives who try to curry favor with him.

She's a little scheming, but not much.

What kind of commotion could she possibly come up with?

If Wen Jinye truly regrets it, he is not unwilling to give her a chance to return to his side.

After all, he had tasted the sweetness of those three years.

He only realized this belatedly after Wen Jinye left.

Tonight's dinner party was specially prepared for Fu Yanjing by a group of people from the Jiangbei Chamber of Commerce.

He was parachuted in here to purge corrupt officials, dismiss key figures, shift the development path, and implement sweeping reforms.

New marketing and development plans will be closely related to cooperation with local businesses.

This also affects the interests of other companies.

After all, no one wants to cut off the path of cooperation with the Fu Group. Everyone has put into practice the principle of "it's good to have a big tree to lean on".

Fu Yanjing would naturally not let a dinner party affect his decision-making, but as a newly appointed official, he couldn't be too extreme or arrogant in some things.

Therefore, we should still show respect by being there.

In order to greet him as soon as possible, the door to the private room was wide open, and the sound of casual conversation inside could be clearly heard.

"I heard that President Song has been extremely busy lately. How did you find time to do an interview?"

Song Chunju took a sip of tea. "I've always been accommodating to my second young master's every request. I've been unfair to him when it comes to business shares, but otherwise, I've let him have his way."

It was obvious that everyone had heard of Song Zaizhen's reputation, and the group chuckled in agreement. "Although A-Zhen is a playboy, he's never brought women to you, has he?" he joked. "Does this count as meeting the parents?"

Song Chunju said leisurely, "It's just some minor squabbles among young people."

"Besides, I've already warned that reporter; he should be a smart and sensible person."

Fu Yanjing listened in silence, a cold sneer appearing in his eyes.

It turns out she contacted him again because she had just broken up with her boyfriend.

Just a few days ago, he was very close to Song Zaizhen, but now, after being reprimanded, he's so dejected.

I didn't see Wen Jin shed a single tear when she broke up with him.

They really underestimated Wen Jinye, daring to treat him as a backup option.

Wen Jin naturally had no idea how her image in Fu Yanjing's heart had been crumbling.

She went to the underground parking lot and found Fu Yanjing's car.

The car has an understated black body, but it displays an extremely arrogant license plate number.

She got into the driver's seat, and her palms started to sweat nervously as she thought about what she was about to do.

On her phone, the message Tan Donglin had sent her a dozen minutes earlier lay quietly.

Wen Jin was in focus mode during the interview, which is why she didn't see it in time.

[Good sister, I don't need much, just give me 100,000 and I'll leave immediately]

I'm almost driven to desperation by debt collectors. If you don't help me, I'll have no choice but to fight to the death; neither of us will have an easy time.

[I know you're here for an interview today. If you're not afraid of me causing trouble, then keep pretending to be dead. I can even go to your TV station and make a scene; you can forget about ever working as a reporter again.]

I'll be waiting for you right across from Tangyuanju. I'm giving you one last ten minutes.

Wen Jin also gripped the steering wheel tightly.

She couldn't understand why, no matter how she tried to hide, she could never escape Tan Donglin.

Is she going to hide forever?

Some ideas, once they sprout in your heart, will quickly take root and grow into towering trees.

Wen Jin buried her face in the steering wheel, sighed, and when she looked up again, her beautiful eyes were now filled with a chilling intensity.

She composed herself and slowly drove away.

I sent a message to Tan Donglin.

I didn't see you. Could you move a little closer to the middle of the road?

Tan Donglin was squatting by the roadside smoking at that moment.

He's incorrigible.

As a beautiful woman in a high-waisted miniskirt walked by, he whistled in a sleazy tone, "Hey beautiful, wanna get to know each other?"

He was completely unaware that the bag on the beautiful woman was enough for him to struggle for a lifetime.

After his phone beeped, Tan Donglin looked down and saw the message.

His ugly face was fully exposed, and his eyes gleamed with greed.

Tan Donglin walked a little further into the middle of the road, then looked down and fiddled with his phone, explaining to Wen Jin in great detail what clothes he was wearing that day.

Wen Jin also looked at the figure not far away and sneered. He would recognize the figure even if it turned to ashes.

Wen Jin also replied: 【Do you see that Porsche up ahead?】

Tan Donglin looked up in surprise.

Wen Jin also slammed on the gas pedal, aiming it at Tan Donglin's direction.

The car speed increased dramatically.

He finally saw Wen Jinye's face through the windshield.

Seeing his panicked state, Wen Jin really wanted to crash into him and send this scumbag on his way.

But he doesn't deserve to risk the rest of his life.

Tan Donglin ran away in a panic.

But the constant flow of traffic left him with no way to avoid it.

His legs gave way and he collapsed to the ground.

Wen Jin gripped the steering wheel tightly and managed to brake just under 20 centimeters from Tan Donglin.

The tires screeched as they scraped across the ground.

Wen Jin's frail body swayed suddenly for a moment, but she felt an unprecedented sense of exhilaration.

Tan Donglin, having survived the ordeal, was so frightened that he couldn't utter a complete sentence.

He stammered, "You...you fucking...you want to kill me, don't you?"

Wen Jin also got out of the car.

He stood in front of Tan Donglin, looking down at him.

"Tan Donglin, if you keep bothering me for money, I won't step on the brakes next time."

The endless, restless days kept Wen Jinye's heart in suspense.

Today, she experiences a sense of peace she has never known before.

So this is what it's like to face evil spirits head-on.

He regained some of his senses and gritted his teeth, saying, "Aren't you afraid I'll cause trouble at your TV station? No TV station would tolerate a reporter with such a negative reputation."

"You're the one who's embarrassing, not me."

Wen Jin also adjusted her breathing and moved away from blocking the license plate.

Tan Donglin's gaze fell directly on the arrogant license plate.

The owners of those conspicuous consecutive numbers are undoubtedly wealthy and powerful.

Wen Jin was determined to take advantage of Fu Yanjing's influence, and said in a show of force, "If you dare."
