011: Cut it off once and for all, don’t regret your choice!
Xu Yao had no intention of causing jealousy between Gu Jun and Shen Yan.
On her first day back at work after her vacation, the company was full of discussions about her, all of which were the aftereffects of Chen Yan's visit to the company yesterday.
The team leader ruthlessly banished the gossiping colleagues, allowing Xu Yao to focus on her work. Rushing to finish the work she had missed from a few days' leave, Xu Yao was so busy that she didn't even have time for lunch. A female colleague brought her two tea eggs, which she swallowed whole, and considered her lunch.
When I finally got a chance to rest for a while, it was already time to get off work.
However, Xu Yao has decided to stay in the company and work overtime. After all, if the accumulated work is not finished today, it will still be Xu Yao's task tomorrow.
When Xu Yao looked up again, she saw Chen Yan's assistant Li Kai standing in front of her.
“Ms. Xu, Mr. Shen is waiting for you downstairs.”
Li Kai gave a polite smile.
Xu Yao was tired.
……here we go again!
The colleagues who hadn't left work yet cast inquiring glances at her. The gossip Xu Yao had spread over the past two days was enough for the entire company to eat for a month. If Chen Yan did this twice more, Xu Yao would have to consider changing jobs.
Xu Yao felt dizzy when she stood up, and she was not very polite to Li Kai: "I already said that I was married, why did your boss Chen come to me again! He is so good, can't he find a new girlfriend?"
The colleagues who were just slowly cleaning up their desks were completely stunned.
Everyone caught the key words in Xu Yao's words.
Xu Yao is actually married?
They just met the legendary fiancé yesterday, and today they were told that the fiancé was a thing of the past. This is too exciting!
Assistant Li Kai frowned.
Is this a question of whether or not I can find a new girlfriend?
Not at all!
Li Kai thought, his fiancée married someone else just because he was delayed for a few days while going abroad for business. It’s no wonder that Mr. Shen couldn’t accept this. No one could accept it.
Admittedly, Xu Yao didn't let Mr. Shen bear any bad reputation, nor did she lose face for the Shen family. She took all the blame for the broken engagement on herself, which was indeed a good thing. But love is not a business deal. If Xu Yao let go so quickly and decisively, where would Mr. Shen's feelings and reputation be?!
"Ms. Xu, I'm also working, please don't make things difficult for me."
Li Kai felt sorry for Shen Yan.
Li Kai didn't care how Xu Yao would face the gossip of her colleagues in the future. He got his salary from Chen Yan, so there was no need for him to consider Xu Yao.
Xu Yao and Li Kai were in a stalemate for a while.
The team leader, who had been hiding in the corner eating melons until he was full, finally woke up and came out, winking at Xu Yao: "It's inappropriate for you to argue about relationship issues in the company. I don't think Mr. Shen is unreasonable. Why don't you ask your husband to come over and the three of you sit down and talk things out!"
The team leader couldn't afford to offend the client, nor did he want to lose a capable person like Xu Yao, so he came up with a brilliant idea to help Xu Yao.
All men want face. If Xu Yao calls her husband to show Chen Yan, he will definitely turn around and leave!
The team leader thought his idea was great!
Xu Yao has a lot of grievances that she can't express.
Gu Jun is just her shield husband, and their relationship is not good enough to be at her beck and call at any time.
Moreover, the Shen family has a wide network of contacts in South City. If Shen Yan were to take his anger out on Gu Jun, wouldn't that harm Gu Jun?
Li Kai pressed on, "Ms. Xu, Mr. Shen turned down all his social engagements tonight just to see you."
Xu Yao took a deep breath, sent a message to Gu Jun with the mentality of giving it a try, and then took her bag and followed Li Kai downstairs.
"This is the last time!"
…
"Get in the car."
Chen Yan lowered the car window to look at her.
Xu Yao didn't want to be controlled by Chen Yan, so she stood aside stubbornly.
"I said everything I needed to say yesterday. If you still don't believe me, I just happened to bring evidence today."
She was too passive yesterday. Xu Yao put the marriage certificate in her bag when she went out in the morning. If Chen Yanruo still didn't believe it, she could take it out right away!
As soon as the edge of the red certificate showed, Chen Yan's eyes hurt.
"You don't have to show me. I know you're married."
Not only did she get married to another man in a flash, she also moved into the man's house to live with him.
Chen Yan knew that Wen Yiyi had bad intentions in telling tales, but if Xu Yao had not done these things, Wen Yiyi would not be able to find a way to sow discord even if she wanted to!
If Chen Yan still had the mentality of "giving Xu Yao the cold shoulder" yesterday, he was really annoyed today.
Xu Yao's casual marriage to someone else made Chen Yan a complete joke.
If the other party's conditions are better than Shen Yan's, Shen Yan can still grit his teeth and admit defeat. If the other party's conditions are far worse than Shen Yan's, Shen Yan will lose even more face.
Chen Yan smiled wryly, "I have to know where I lost, right?"
Seeing Chen Yan like this, Xu Yao softened her attitude. "You didn't lose to anyone, and you didn't do anything wrong. We are just not suitable for each other."
This answer could not satisfy Chen Yan. He wanted to meet someone that Xu Yao thought was suitable.
The message Xu Yao sent received no reply for a long time.
Did Gu Jun see her text message?
Are you still working overtime and don’t have time to see it, or are you seeing it but unwilling to make the trip?
Or maybe, Gu Jun was subjectively willing to come, but objectively couldn't spare the time...Workers can understand each other best, and neither she nor Gu Jun has the time freedom to linger.
This is what Xu Yao calls "suitable".
She wanted to say something, but opened her mouth and nothing came out.
Chen Yan sneered and rolled up the car window.
Colleagues passed by Xu Yao one after another after get off work. Their gossipy hearts were killed by the momentum of Chen Yan's luxury car. Even Xu Yao's team leader left quickly with his tail between his legs.
The weather in August was very hot and humid. Xu Yao's neck and forehead were covered with sweat. Chen Yan sat in the car with sufficient air conditioning and still looked fresh.
The clouds in the sky changed color, thunder exploded somewhere, and rain began to fall in an instant.
The rain fell all over Xu Yao, flowing down her hair, and she was soon soaked.
Xu Yao knew that she was in a very embarrassing situation. If this embarrassing situation could allow Chen Yan to vent his anger and stop pestering her, Xu Yao would accept it!
“Mr. Shen, would you like to get an umbrella for Miss Xu?”
Li Kai whispered.
Chen Yan didn't even raise his eyes: "She hasn't said anything yet, why are you so anxious?"
If Xu Yao needs help, she should ask for it herself!
Whether it was an umbrella or helping the Xu family pay off their debts, Xu Yao had never tried, so how could she know that he wouldn't agree?
Chen Yan spoke in a harsh tone, and out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of Xu Yao getting drenched in the rain, and he felt a little sorry for her. After the Xu family went bankrupt, Xu Yao became thinner and thinner. Chen Yan had reminded Xu Yao to eat more, but Xu Yao said she had to lose weight to look good on camera.
Xu Yao often works overtime.
When she is not working overtime, she is doing side jobs to earn money.
So Xu Yao actually lost weight due to tiredness!
Chen Yan didn't understand why Xu Yao was so stubborn.
Whether it was work or a side hustle, was it worth it for Xu Yao to put so much energy into it? If he had that time, he might as well spend it to please his mother. The Shen family easily gave him some benefits, which an ordinary person might not be able to earn in half a lifetime. Xu Yao had always refused to face this fact.
How much is that proud self-esteem worth?
Looking at Xu Yao's embarrassment, Chen Yan felt soft-hearted for a moment: if Xu Yao could bow her head and admit her mistake, he could give her another chance.
Chen Yan doesn't like Xu Yao's stubbornness but believes in her character. Xu Yao's flash marriage and cohabitation seem to be tricks to make him give up.
It must be that her mother said something too harsh, and Xu Yao was so angry that she did such a childish thing.
Chen Yan found an excuse for Xu Yao and was about to lower the car window again when a figure walked over quickly and held an umbrella over Xu Yao's head.
The rain was getting heavier, blocking Shen Yan's sight. He could only make out that the other person was very tall.
"Why don't you know how to hold an umbrella?"
The man hugged Xu Yao and walked across the street. Xu Yao was no longer stubborn and was very obedient. "The rain suddenly got heavier. Aren't you working overtime today?"
The two of them acted as if no one was around, looking like a sweet newlywed couple.
Chen Yan felt like he was stabbed.
He rolled down the car window and called out to Xu Yao: "Xu Yao, don't regret your choice. If someone asks me again, I will admit that you have no relationship with the Shen family anymore."
——With no connection to the Shen family anymore, Xu Yao, how are you going to deal with those creditors?!
