Chapter 41 I Just Want to Piss You Off to Death
I just want to piss you off to death.
Why don’t you change your career?
Why did you go to Minghe?
What do you want to do? Do you think Rongli treated you unfairly and want revenge?
Yao Man asked very directly, three questions in a row, which confused everyone and made the surroundings quieter.
Yao Tianyu is ready to retreat.
He came here intending to cause trouble for He Zheng, but now he changed his mind.
Although Yao Man is his biological sister, to be honest, she has a lot of shortcomings. She is willful and domineering, selfish, jealous, suspicious, extremely sensitive, and vengeful.
Although her ex-husband was a scumbag, the breakdown of their relationship was partly due to Yao Man's own fault.
You must let her check your phone at any time, you cannot carry any female perfume that does not belong to her, and you must be available at any time. Even if you are hit by a car and lying in the hospital, she can call you and you have to go home in a wheelchair.
Her ex-husband cheated on her, and it was her own fault. She was so suffocating that no man could stand her.
If she wasn't lucky enough to have the entire Rongli Group behind her, that scumbag would have divorced her eight times already.
With Yao Man's personality, even if Wen Ruan and Jiang Qingyan broke up, she would still feel disgusted as if she had swallowed a rat when she saw Wen Ruan.
Now Wen Ruan is back, reborn, better than her, younger than her, and prettier than her. With Yao Man's sensitivity and suspicion, she could check Jiang Qingyan's cell phone eight hundred times a day, which is enough to annoy Jiang Qingyan.
It depends on how long Jiang Qingyan can endure.
Anyway, the grudge between him and He Zheng has been going on for a long time. As long as He Zheng doesn't take the initiative to provoke trouble, he can endure it for the time being.
He would just watch the show first, and then deal with He Zheng after Yao Man and Jiang Qingyan separated from him.
It would be best if He Zheng and Yao Man could have a fight, so that he could reap the benefits.
Thinking of this, Yao Tianyu turned around and greeted a fund management partner, inviting him to the lounge upstairs for tea and to talk about cooperation.
He must retreat quickly. Yao Man needs to save face. With so many people around, she has to pay attention to her image. If she cannot withstand the attacks of Wen Ruan and He Zheng, she will definitely let him come forward to be the bad guy.
Having learned his lesson from the celebration party, he will not be the one to be taken advantage of this time.
It’s better to leave first.
…
He Zheng saw Yao Tianyu leaving and pretended not to see him. He was indeed not here to fight with Yao Tianyu today, and he didn't have time to deal with him.
Today's main purpose is to let Wen Ruan show up and let Wen Ruan perform. His role tonight is to play a supporting role, and when she falls behind, he will support her.
He Zheng's hand was still on Wen Ruan's waist. A pair of eyes were always on his hand. The gaze was so strong that he noticed it early.
Jiang Qingyan.
From the moment he put his arm around Wen Ruan's waist, the man's eyes kept looking over here from time to time. What are you looking at, you bastard?
He Zheng tightened the strength in his hands and moved closer to Wen Ruan. The two of them were close to each other. From Jiang Qingyan's perspective, Wen Ruan seemed to be leaning in He Zheng's arms.
He raised his eyes and met He Zheng's provocative gaze.
The two men looked at each other silently. Jiang Qingyan's eyes were as deep as ink. He looked at him calmly, and his emotions could not be seen. He Zheng's eyebrows were coldly raised, and his handsome face showed more gloom than provocation.
Sooner or later he would beat Jiang Qingyan up.
Wen Ruan didn't notice the undercurrent between the two men, she kept staring at Yao Man.
She answered Yao Man's questions in a calm tone.
"Why didn't I change my career? Why did I go to Minghe... Actually, for more than half a year, I have been in a small county town thousands of miles away from Haicheng, a place called Jiling Temple."
"I signed up for a meditation class there. I attend classes, read books, and play chess every day. I have a very fulfilling life. If Miss Yao doesn't believe me, you can go and ask there."
Wen Ruan glanced at the crowd watching and took the opportunity to advertise.
"The scenery there is really nice, perfect for quiet meditation. If you're feeling restless, you can sign up for a class there. Mention my name for a 10% discount."
Everyone: “…”
Going to a temple?
So Wen Ruan disappeared for so long, did he go to the temple?
Jiang Qingyan looked at Wen Ruan with his dark eyes, and suddenly understood what that strange feeling that came from her was.
She retreated to cultivate her mind, and finally came to terms with things, letting go of her hatred, letting go of herself, and letting go of him.
His palm tightened slightly, and Jiang Qingyan couldn't explain the feeling in his heart. Relief? No, it felt like being punched in the heart, muffled.
Yao Man hadn't expected Wen Ruan to go to the temple. After being surprised, she frowned again, "So, what does this have to do with my question just now?"
Wen Ruan laughed.
"I had been in seclusion in Jiling Temple for six months, cultivating my mind. I was almost disillusioned with the world and only one step away from becoming a Buddhist. Then, Mr. He found me and earnestly persuaded me to leave the mountain."
She pointed at He Zheng beside her.
"I can't help it. Mr. He has given me too much. I am just an ordinary person after all, and I don't have the affinity with Buddhism. I can't refuse the conditions Mr. He has offered."
Wen Ruan looked at Yao Man with a gentle smile.
"So, Miss Yao, don't overthink it. I went to Minghe just for normal work. There's no conspiracy theory or revenge involved."
She greeted him with a smile and a gentle tone, which made it difficult for Yao Man to get into trouble.
She actually wanted to provoke Wen Ruan, but Wen Ruan couldn't find any fault throughout the whole process, and she ended up being very angry.
She couldn't see through Wen Ruan before, and now that this woman is more emotionally stable and keeps a low profile, she can't see through her even more.
But she couldn't make things difficult for her anymore. After all, all those who came tonight were the best in the industry. She couldn't lose face and had to maintain the demeanor of a lady.
What she couldn't do, someone else could.
Yao Man was planning to let Yao Tianyu be the bad guy and make things difficult for Wen Ruan. She glanced around, wanting to give Yao Tianyu a hint with her eyes, but she couldn't find him.
This unreliable brat! Is he going to check into a hotel with a beautiful woman again? He always fails at the crucial moment!
Yao Man breathed a sigh of relief, and her eyes suddenly fell on Wen Ruan's neck.
That necklace...
She had taken a fancy to it some time ago.
Unfortunately, she went to try on the wedding dress on the day of the auction, but she was too late and it was sold by someone else. She liked it so much that she wanted to buy it back at a high price, but she was told that it was bought by Shen Yifan.
Shen Yifan, the second-in-command of Minghe Capital and He Zheng's lackey.
She would rather not have it than ask He Zheng for it.
Yao Man carefully examined the necklace on Wen Ruan's neck, and after confirming that it was the one from the auction, she sneered.
"Wen Ruan, the necklace that Shen Yifan spent millions on is on your neck. He gave you such a valuable thing. What is your relationship?"
Wen Ruan was stunned. The necklace belonged to Shen Yifan?
She turned to look at He Zheng, who gave her a look that told her to stay calm.
Yao Man raised her voice slightly at this time, "Chen Yifan is married, right? Wen Ruan, why do you always like to hook up with other people's men? Do you have any shame?"
Shen Yifan, who was hiding in the corner watching the show: "..."
Speechless. He just came to watch the show, so why was he suddenly called out?
"Ms. Yao, your information is incomplete."
Shen Yifan walked over from behind the crowd and stood in front of He Zheng. "It's true that I took the photo of the necklace, but I took it for our CEO He."
Yao Man looked at He Zheng.
He Zheng let go of Wen Ruan's slender waist and said, "I asked you to take the photo."
He put his hands in his trouser pockets, hunched his shoulders, and looked lazy and indifferent. He was a head taller than Yao Man and looked down at her condescendingly.
"Back then, Rong Li used the imperial court to expel Wen Ruan and plotted against me. I heard it was Miss Yao's idea. I'm a vindictive person and have been holding a grudge against Miss Yao. But I can't hit a woman, so when I heard you were interested in this necklace, I snatched it away."
"Knowing you were here tonight, I deliberately let Wen Ruan wear it. I knew you would be jealous and angry when you saw it, and I just wanted to piss you off to death."
In fact, he took the photo specifically for Wen Ruan.
When he saw it for the first time, he felt that it was a good match for Wen Ruan. He was in Singapore on the day of the auction, and Shen Yifan helped him to bid.
Shen Yifan knew that Yao Man liked it because she said that after the auction, Yao Man asked people everywhere to find out who bought the necklace. She initially wanted to offer a high price to the buyer, but later gave up when she heard that it was him.
——I heard you were interested in this necklace, so I snatched it away.
——I just want to piss you off to death.
Yao Man was really mad, especially when she heard him bring up the matter of Chao Ce again, she almost couldn't suppress her anger.
If she wasn't afraid that He Zheng, this lunatic, would embarrass her by making unreasonable demands, she would definitely slap him.
When her father comes back from his business trip, she will definitely complain!
Knowing that He Zheng was difficult to deal with, Yao Man turned directly to look at Wen Ruan, with even greater sarcasm on her lips.
"Wen Ruan, you're really capable. You can even handle a man like He Zheng. He protected you during the court ceremony, he protected you at the celebration banquet, and he protected you again tonight. So when did you two hook up?"
Wen Ruan's face was calm, not angered by her. Just as he was about to speak, He Zheng spoke first.
"Yao Man, that's enough. Hooking up? Who can hook up better than you? You checked into a room with a man the day before the college entrance exam, missed the exam, and went abroad to spend money to get a bachelor's degree."
"You had two boyfriends in college, had two abortions, and then got cheated on by a scumbag who rented a room with you. You got married and got married. Your grandmother was so angry about this. If you weren't lucky enough to be born into the Yao family, no man would be interested in you."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar.
Yao Man's marriage was no secret in the circle. After all, her ex-husband had a relationship with the Yao family, which was widely publicized for a while.
However, Yao Man did not hold a wedding when she got married, and she lived abroad for many years. The Yao family was dissatisfied with the marriage and later deliberately suppressed the news. Therefore, apart from the upper class circles in Haicheng, not many people in the outside world knew about it.
Tonight, not only people in the circle received invitations, but also many people outside the circle who were invited by Yao Tianyu to warm up the audience.
So, after He Zheng finished speaking, some people whispered about Yao Man missing the exam and having an abortion because of renting a hotel room, and some were surprised that Miss Rongli was actually married.
The noise around me grew louder.
Yao Man didn't expect that He Zheng would dare to expose her shortcomings in public. She was so angry that her face turned pale and blue, her whole body was shaking, and she couldn't speak.
Jiang Qingyan embraced her, holding her in his arms, and looked at He Zheng with deep eyes.
"Mr. He, humiliating a woman in public like this is too much."
"Excessive?"
He Zheng sneered, and a cold air filled his body.
"Who was wrong? Wasn't it wrong for you to fabricate obscene rumors about Wen Ruan last year? Wasn't it wrong for you to cyberbully her? Wen Ruan didn't argue with you. That was just her generosity. I had no right to intervene at that time."
He put his arm around Wen Ruan's shoulders and pulled her into his arms.
"Now, she's my investment director. She's mine. No one can bully her. Yao Man just kept saying shameless and flirting, trying to link Wen Ruan to Huang Yao. Didn't you hear that?"
Jiang Qingyan was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Wen Ruan.
She was smiling at him.
Under the light, her eyes were surprisingly bright, her temperament was pure and distinct, and there was a smile on the corner of her lips. It was a very faint smile, so beautiful and cold.
The emotions in Jiang Qingyan's eyes were unfathomable, and he didn't speak for a long time.
