Chapter 68 Your friend gave it to you
Your friend gave it to you
Yao Man got up very early and it took almost six hours on the road to reach the B&B.
I didn't eat, I didn't drink, I was carrying a luxury perfume that was enough to buy a house in a small city, and I was so sincere, but I got one sentence:
"I'm sorry, Ms. Yao, the boss is meeting with friends and said there's no cooperation to discuss. Please go back."
It was the first time that Yao Man worked so hard for a job, but ended up being turned away. She almost lost her temper, but finally endured it, took out her ID card, and booked a room.
The car couldn't get in due to a section of road at the foot of the mountain, so she walked over. She was sticky and sweaty, so she had to take a shower quickly.
After getting the room card, Yao Man went back to her room and took a shower. When she came out it was almost two o'clock. She planned to eat first and then think of a solution.
The B&B has a restaurant, but there are not many people inside at this moment, with only two couples and a family of three sitting there.
As soon as she entered the door, Yao Man saw Wen Ruan walking towards them, talking and laughing with a middle-aged woman in a white Chinese cheongsam.
There is a photo of the owner hanging on the wall of the B&B lobby.
That’s Chen Shengyue.
Yao Man's heart was filled with alarm, and she immediately went to meet him, "Hello, Mrs. Lin, I'm from Rongli Group..."
"Excuse me," Chen Shengyue looked at her calmly and interrupted her directly, "I'm not Mrs. Lin, my last name is Chen."
Just as she finished speaking, Chen Shengyue's phone rang. She answered it and then hung up. She turned to Wen Ruan and said,
"Something happened at home, so I have to go home. Will you be back tomorrow afternoon?"
Wen Ruan: "Yes."
She had originally planned to go back this afternoon, but she checked the weather and saw that there was going to be heavy rain that afternoon, so she didn't want to leave.
While eating, I reported the situation to He Zheng, and He Zheng said that we should leave tomorrow. It will be sunny tomorrow, so he can come and see the sea of clouds.
Chen Shengyue put away his phone and shook Wen Ruan's hand. "Then I'll come over tomorrow at noon. I'm also going to the airport, so I'll drive you."
She is going to North City tomorrow to attend the hundred-day celebration of her cousin's second child, and will also leave in the afternoon.
Chen Shengyue left immediately after he finished speaking. Yao Man stamped her feet and thought to herself, what a couple, just as clueless as her husband Lin Hao.
She glared at Wen Ruan, "What did you talk about? Did she agree to go back to Haicheng with you?"
Yesterday, Lin Hao said that Jiang Qingyan only talked to him about tea and Rongcheng, and did not mention the B&B owner Chen Shengyue. Yao Man obviously knew what he said, and Jiang Qingyan must have guessed it and told her.
However, Jiang Qingyan actually let Yao Man come alone, which surprised Wen Ruan.
Yao Man was blocking the way and Wen Ruan couldn't get through, so she turned sideways and walked around her, raising the corners of her lips and smiling brightly.
"If you want to know, guess."
Yao Man looked at her departing back and was furious. What was she guessing? The deal must have been done.
The guy at the front desk said that the boss was receiving friends. At this moment, Wen Ruan and Chen Shengyue came out of the restaurant again, and they had obviously had dinner together. Just now, Chen Shengyue said that he would go to the airport with Wen Ruan tomorrow.
The two of them have reached an agreement, and Chen Shengyue is going back to Haicheng with Wen Ruan.
Yao Man clenched her fists. If Minghe signed a contract with Aiyue, she would be humiliated.
Her match with Wen Ruan had just begun, it was only the first day, and she had already lost? Losing right from the start, did she still have any dignity left?
She can't lose.
Therefore, Wen Ruan must not be allowed to take Chen Shengyue back to Haicheng.
Without even eating, Yao Man went straight back to her room and called Yao Tianyu to ask him where he was.
Although Yao Tianyu was annoyed with her, he still said honestly: "I'm at the North City Airport, preparing to return to Haicheng."
"North City? Isn't that very close to Rongcheng?" Yao Man asked him to change direction, "Don't go back, come to Rongcheng."
Yao Tianyu knew she was in Rongcheng, so he took the opportunity to persuade her, "I'm busy. He is competing for my project, so I have to go back to see if you're afraid you can't beat Wen Ruan. How about you come back and I'll let Lin Yue go, or let Jiang Qingyan go to help you. He understands Wen Ruan, and he can beat Wen Ruan."
Yao Man ignored him and said to herself, "Haven't you always wanted to sleep with Wen Ruan? Now there's a chance, do you want it?"
Yao Tianyu was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?"
"I saw Wen Ruan and He Zheng kissing with my own eyes. They are together. Wen Ruan is now He Zheng's woman."
Yao Man's mind was unusually clear at this moment.
"He Zheng took your project because Dad allowed it. Even if you're mad as hell, you can't stop him. He Zheng will soon be able to suppress you. Don't you want to take revenge on him?"
…
Wen Ruan went back to his room and took a shower, then lay down on the bed, ready to take a nap.
Before going to bed, she opened WeChat and saw a bunch of unread messages.
First, my mother said, "Can't you just listen to me for once? Change your career, or open a coffee shop and I'll pay for it."
Ever since my mother last saw He Zheng in the hospital, similar messages have been sent several times a day.
Let her resign and stay away from He Zheng.
Wen Ruan initially replied a few words telling her not to worry, but later she stopped replying. Both mother and daughter were the type to turn back only when they hit a wall, and neither could persuade the other.
Exit the chat box with my mother and click on Zhang Tongtong's.
Zhang Tongtong: [I just had a fight with the old lady. I'm so pissed!]
[I was just doing laundry when I came out and saw the old lady feeding Guoguo an orange. Guoguo thought it was sour and wanted to vomit, but she covered Guoguo's mouth and yelled at her, forcing her to eat it. The key is! The old lady had a physical examination during her last hospitalization and was found to have Helicobacter pylori. She had only bitten half of it because it felt sour, so she stuffed it directly into Guoguo's mouth!]
She said it's good for children to eat something sour, because it helps with farting. If that were the case, she would have fed it to her eldest grandson long ago. I told her that Helicobacter pylori is contagious, and she said I was being hypocritical.
Pan Rui was called to the company by Dong Chao at noon. He was busy when the old lady called him back. She was very upset and said that I despised her and asked Pan Rui to take them back to their hometown.
Guoguo has been crying the whole time. I was pissed off and scolded her in front of Pan Rui. Then she pretended to be sick, clutching her chest and falling to the ground. Now Pan Rui is taking her to the hospital. Ahhh, how could I have such a stubborn old lady?!
Wen Ruan called directly, but no one answered after two calls. They must be busy, so she sent a message.
【I'll call you back when I'm done.】
Lin Yue also sent a message, mainly to watch the fun and asked her if she had seen Yao Man and whether she had fought with Yao Man. Wen Ruan replied to her with a "guess" emoticon.
Just as I exited the chat box, He Zheng called.
"Have you eaten yet?"
His voice was low, and he could hear a hint of fatigue. Wen Ruan turned over and said, "Well, I'm going back to the room to catch up on some sleep. Are you done with the meeting?"
He was still in a meeting when he sent the message.
"It's over, now come out and have some food."
Wen Ruan told him about seeing Yao Man just now, "I asked the guy at the front desk, she came by herself. I was a little surprised that Jiang Qingyan didn't come."
He Zheng's voice was filled with a hint of resentment as he chuckled. "Maybe you're too embarrassed to go. After all, you two were a couple when you went there. It would be awkward to meet the boss."
After chatting for a while, Wen Ruan heard a voice saying "welcome" from his end, guessing that he should have entered the restaurant, "You eat first, hanging up."
He Zheng said okay, and then added, "I have to arrive in the early morning tonight. Can I get another room? Don't disturb your sleep."
He has a meeting in the afternoon and a dinner in the evening, so it is not easy for him to squeeze out time to fly over.
Wen Ruan heard the tentative tone in his words and agreed with him, "It won't affect me. I'm catching up on sleep now. I can sleep all afternoon and I don't need to sleep at night. Are you satisfied?"
…
It’s okay not to sleep at night.
He Zheng felt that this was a hint to him that he could do whatever he wanted at night.
The more he thought about it, the happier he became, until someone called him, "Mr. He?"
This is a Chinese restaurant on Haicheng Central Street. Lin Hao had an appointment with someone to have lunch here at noon. As soon as he came out, he saw He Zheng and his men walking towards this side.
When He Zheng saw Lin Hao, Wen Ruan's words flashed through his mind: Lin Hao has an illegitimate child.
He now dislikes Lin Hao very much. If this guy had explained the matter clearly yesterday, Wen Ruan would not have made the trip to Rongcheng in vain.
He Zheng didn't show it on his face. He greeted him with a smile, his voice cool and calm, "Boss Lin."
He Zheng was followed by Minghe’s legal director and financial director, and next to Lin Hao were the founders of two game companies.
The two sides introduced themselves to each other, and after a brief handshake and greeting, Lin Hao pulled He Zheng aside.
"Boss He, is there any news from Director Wen?"
Lin Hao sent a WeChat message to Wen Ruan in the morning, asking her when she would go to Rongcheng. Wen Ruan said she had already arrived and was on the way to Rongshan.
At noon, he sent another message to Wen Ruan, asking if she had seen Sheng Yue. She replied, "Let's talk about it when I get home."
After that, she stopped replying to his messages. He was nervous and worried, and now when he saw He Zheng, he couldn't hold back any longer.
"Mr. He, did Director Wen see my wife? He did, right? What did he say?"
Lin Hao handed a cigarette to He Zheng. He Zheng took it but didn't smoke it. He was silent for a moment, then spoke under Lin Hao's increasingly uneasy gaze.
"Boss Lin, you're so mean! You didn't tell me earlier that you had an illegitimate child. Do you know how embarrassed our Director Wen was? When she saw Boss Chen, she praised you to the skies, and then Boss Chen said you had an illegitimate child and ruined her chance to be a mother."
Seeing Lin Hao's expression change, He Zheng curled the corner of his lips, patted his shoulder and made a sound of "tut".
"Director Wen said she lost the bet. You hurt her so badly, and she's trying to persuade her to come back. Isn't that unethical?"
Lin Hao's face turned pale, his shoulders drooped, and he smiled bitterly.
"I knew this was going to be hard to get over. I knew I had let her down, and I didn't dare ask for her forgiveness. She's in poor health, and two consecutive miscarriages have damaged her body. The doctor said she needs to be well taken care of from now on."
He lowered his head, like a frosted eggplant, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes. "I just want to take good care of her."
He Zheng tutted his words, "Boss Lin, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but just let him go. If you regret it someday and bring your illegitimate child home to inherit the family business, Boss Chen will be devastated all over again."
Lin Hao immediately shook his head, "No, I don't plan to recognize it. If Sheng Yue wants a child, we can adopt one."
When he received the call from the nanny, he hurried home and saw Sheng Yue lying on the ground covered in blood, while the mother and son were sitting on the sofa eating apples as if nothing had happened.
Whenever he saw the mother and son, he would think of the scene where Sheng Yue fell to the ground.
He has been having nightmares for the past two years. He can't even see them, as he will feel physically nauseous if he does.
Children are Sheng Yue's most taboo thing. If she wanted to reject Wen Ruan, she could just do it directly. But she told Wen Ruan such a subtle thing, which shows that she has a good relationship with Wen Ruan.
Lin Hao still had a little hope in his heart.
"Mr. He, I was wrong to hide the child's situation yesterday. So, I'll give in. Sheng Yue has refused to see me for a year. Tell Director Wen that as long as Sheng Yue agrees to see me, she will win."
He Zheng raised his eyebrows and looked at him, his handsome face showing a slight tiredness and a hint of sarcasm, but his tone was light.
"Okay, Mr. Lin, don't worry, I will pass on the message."
Make a concession?
Oh.
He got the news that after Lin Hao met with them and Jiang Qingyan yesterday, several partners put pressure on Lin Hao at the Ai Yue meeting this morning, forcing him to accept the olive branch of capital.
Lin Hao really wanted to win back Chen Shengyue, but at the same time, he also really wanted to seize this opportunity and give in to save face.
He Zheng had a simple meal and rushed back to the company for a meeting. After the meeting, he suddenly remembered something.
Wen Ruan meant that Yao Man must have misunderstood that she and Chen Shengyue had reached an agreement.
That woman Yao Man, when there are people around watching and persuading her, she can control her temper and remain calm, but when she is alone, she just does whatever she wants.
When emotions run high, anything can be done.
Feeling uneasy, He Zheng came out of the meeting room and directly called Yu Yang to ask him to change his ticket.
…
Wen Ruan slept until seven o'clock in the evening and was woken up by knocking on the door. He didn't want to pay attention to it, but the knocking continued.
Putting on a knitted long-sleeved jacket, Wen Ruan first took a look through the peephole and saw a B&B staff member holding a large bouquet of roses.
She opened the door.
The staff handed her the flowers and said, "They're from your friend."
friend?
Wen Ruan didn't take it, and went to take the card on the flower first. Just as he took it in his hand, someone came out and snatched the flower away, smiling at Wen Ruan:
"I gave it to you."
Wen Ruan was stunned. Yao Tianyu?
Yao Tianyu took advantage of the moment she was stunned, took two steps forward, pushed Wen Ruan into the door, lifted his foot, and the door slammed shut.
