Chapter 80: Cruel Truth
“There’s a saying that goes well.”
“After three days of separation, one should look at a person with new eyes.”
“Not seeing you for half a year, Jiamu, you’ve become more and more impressive.”
Qian Chengfeng’s words were lukewarm, and Chen Jiamu didn’t care at all. After confirming they had signed, he maintained a smile and took back the contract.
Then, after both parties kept copies, Chen Jiamu planned to leave the conference room.
“Chen Jiamu!”
But Zhang Xin’s shout startled him. Not only him, but Qian Chengfeng beside her was also startled, asking her in a low voice what she was doing: “What are you doing?”
Chen Jiamu turned to look at her in confusion, frowning: “The contract is signed, are there still objections?”
“What is your relationship with the Chen Group?”
Zhang Xin stared dead at him, her voice starting to tremble. After hearing her question, Chen Jiamu snorted a laugh, his voice faint: “What relationship could it be? Definitely a worker.”
After speaking, he walked away without looking back, ignoring the arguing sounds in the conference room.
“Little President Chen, look…”
The arguing in the conference room attracted the attention of passing employees. The assistant whispered a reminder to Chen Jiamu.
“It doesn’t matter, they won’t argue for long.”
Chen Jiamu didn’t want to care about the mess inside at all. Holding the signed contract, he hummed a little tune and walked into his office.
The only regret was that Li Xi didn’t come. Did that kid not miss him at all?
Not coming to see him even with such a good opportunity, truly heartless…
At noon, Chen Jiamu had just walked out of the company when his path was blocked at the entrance.
Looking at the person in front of him, Chen Jiamu looked at her speechlessly: “What are you doing?”
“Do you really have no relationship with the Chen Group?”
This question again. Chen Jiamu frowned, looked at the pedestrians coming and going, then looked at Zhang Xin.
“I told you I’m just a worker. When did your hearing degenerate?”
“Liar!”
“I went to ask! Everyone in your company calls you Little President Chen!”
“You are the young master of the Chen Group!”
“Chen Jiamu! Why did you lie to me!”
Zhang Xin screamed in breakdown. Chen Jiamu was afraid of creating a bad impression of the company. Frowning, he dragged her toward a distance!
“Shut up!”
Not giving her a chance to scream again, Chen Jiamu almost forcefully dragged her into a milk tea shop nearby.
There was no one in the shop at this time. The clerk stood up subconsciously upon seeing Chen Jiamu, thinking he was going to order a big order again.
Because Chen Jiamu often ordered many milk teas for employees, almost all the nearby milk tea shops knew him.
“Sorry, borrowing your venue for a moment.”
Without waiting for the clerk to answer, he dragged Zhang Xin into the furthest corner.
“What do you want to do!”
“What do you mean I lied to you? What did I lie to you about?”
In the corner, Chen Jiamu threw off the hand holding her wrist, looking down at her from above.
“Why didn’t you tell me you were the young master of the Chen Group!”
“Why did you lie to me saying you were a poor university student!”
At first, Zhang Xin still held a fluke mentality that Chen Jiamu might just share the same surname Chen and had little to do with the Chen Group.
But! When she asked the company staff, everyone called him Little President Chen!
He was the Chen family’s only male heir!
Chen Jiamu!
“I really didn’t lie to you. I am just a worker.”
“The young master of the Chen Group also has to work, okay?”
Since his identity was exposed, Chen Jiamu could only admit it. But he wasn’t wrong; he was indeed a worker right now.
“You bastard!”
“Chen Jiamu! You lied to me so miserably!”
Unable to bear the gap in her heart, Zhang Xin lost control of her emotions and slapped him.
Unexpectedly hit, Chen Jiamu froze for a few seconds, then covered the corner of his mouth and laughed out loud.
“What did I lie to you about?”
“Did I cheat you of money or your body?”
“So sad, is it because I cut off your dream of climbing the social ladder?”
Having her thoughts hit the mark, Zhang Xin’s face instantly turned red. The raised slap couldn’t fall no matter what.
“You!”
Chen Jiamu pushed his cheek with his tongue; there was a rusty taste at the corner of his mouth, presumably the skin broke. Glancing at her coldly, Chen Jiamu grabbed a tissue from the side to wipe the corner of his mouth. Sure enough, there was blood.
“You what? If I were you, I wouldn’t come looking for trouble.”
“Running over to find me so anxiously, where do you place Qian Chengfeng?”
“If you don’t go back and coax him well, be careful you lose the last big tree to hug.”
“Not telling you my identity before was just because I wanted to test if you would choose me without money.
“Of course, the answer you gave was perfect. I don’t mean to blame you; on the contrary, I don’t hate you.”
“After all, our situations are different; your choice is your way of life. I can’t judge anything. But let bygones be bygones; you’d better focus on the present.”
Chen Jiamu knew what Zhang Xin’s family was like. A family that favored boys over girls.
Gambling dad, acid-tongued mom, and a useless, good-for-nothing younger brother.
She couldn’t sever ties with her family, so she was forced to become the fixed blood bank for that whole family.
This situation had no solution, so Zhang Xin could only take the extreme path.
He remembered Zhang Xin once said she wanted to succeed so her parents would look up to her.
But she forgot, some people aren’t worth it.
“You…”
Zhang Xin’s vision was blurred by tears. She stared with wide eyes, her red rims filled with tears.
But she stubbornly raised her head, as if that would make the tears flow back.
But when the dam broke, the emotions in her heart surged up all at once.
She broke down…
“Ah!”
“Why!”
Zhang Xin screamed and shouted in collapse, tears crawling across that gorgeous face, finally falling onto the cold floor.
She was clearly just one step away from success!
Why! Why let her know such a cruel truth!
Chen Jiamu was the young master of the Chen Group. Then a year ago, if she had just agreed to his pursuit, all her suffering would have been solved!
“Ah, why! Chen Jiamu, tell me why!”
Zhang Xin collapsed, grabbing Chen Jiamu’s collar and shaking it hard. If she didn’t know, she could continue selling her body with peace of mind and hugging Qian Chengfeng’s thigh.
But! But! Why let her know she once almost had a thigh even more excellent than Qian Chengfeng…
She just wanted everyone to look up to her! She just wanted to live a little better! Why did God play this kind of joke on her!
Why!
