"Whatever my mom says to you in the future, just vaguely reply and don't give her too much information . If she has her eyes set on you, she'll spend all her energy on you, which means that she won't have the time to introduce other women to me . It seems like a good way to go . "
Jiang Linyue immediately understood what Qin Chu meant . She asked carefully, "President Qin, are you asking me to be a double agent, to act in front of Mrs . Qin and keep her in the dark?"
"I can give you a 20% raise . "
"I don't care about the pay raise, President Qin, you don't know what I mean . I actually…" Jiang Linyue wanted to say something else, but she was cut off by Qin Chu .
"If you don't agree to my proposition, you'll be transferred to the company's Malaysian branch tomorrow . "
Jiang Linyue was speechless .
The boss was indeed ruthless; if a deal wasn't going his way, he would take all means necessary .
Finally, Jiang Linyue had no choice but to compromise, "I agree with your proposition, President Qin . "
"Good . " Then, Qin Chu stepped on his brakes and the car came to a stop . "You can get off here and get yourself a cab . Charge it to the company, and the Finance Department will compensate you tomorrow . "
Sad and unwilling, Jiang Linyue got off the car and watched as Qin Chu's Maybach sped away .
He was always so heartless, even demanding that she get off his car halfway . However, she just couldn't bring herself to give up on him .
Huo Mian was driving home after work but was delayed by a traffic jam . It was rush hour, and she was stuck in between red lights .
Bored, Huo Mian took out her phone, took a photo of the traffic jam, and posted the photo on her friend circle .
She wrote, "The newest 'Jam City' has been discovered, C City is the jammiest of them all . "
Zhu Lingling immediately replied, "Agreed, let's call this place Jam City from now on . "
Zhixin also replied, "Sis, did you buy a car?"
Huo Mian immediately replied, "No, the hospital lent it to me to use . "
Zhixin, the innocent and unassuming boy that he was, replied with a 'yay' emoji . "Awesome, sis . Take me out on a ride sometime . "
Just as Huo Mian was about to reply to him, the light turned green, and she turned her attention back onto the road .
When she passed by a supermarket, she parked her car and walked in, hoping to buy some fruits and vegetables .
However, she saw a strange scene . A man had kicked a woman onto the floor . She looked like she was in pain, but the man just kept hitting her .
A lot of people gathered around them, but no one stepped out to stop the man . After Huo Mian saw who the couple was, her heart filled with complicated emotions .
It was the pregnant patient that she saved a while back, and the man who was hitting her was her husband .
"Honey, please come home, I beg you . Our daughters miss you," the woman wailed .
"You stupid jinxed woman, can you stop crying? All you do is cry every single day, no wonder I have such bad luck . I lost money, and almost ended up in jail . You seriously ruined my life! I'd rather beat you to death," the man cursed as he continued hitting her .
"Stop hitting her, what kind of man hits his own wife?" The people around them tried to stop the man .
"Get the f*ck away, we're married! The police don't even interfere, so why don't you go mind your own business too?!" The man was extremely arrogant .
The woman just cried and cried on the ground…
Huo Mian lingered for a while and lost her mood to buy food . She just turned around and headed back to her car .
She wasn't going to step up and help her . Huo Mian was the one who saved her life, but she almost got into big trouble because of her . It was like the story of the farmer and the snake, so Huo Mian didn't pity her . There's an old saying: you reap what you sow, and those that are pathetic certainly have some reason to be despised . She was a victim of domestic violence; yet, not only did she refuse to divorce him, she actually believed that she couldn't live without him . A woman like her was never going to find happiness .
A while ago, she begged Huo Mian to let her husband go . That was reasonable, but later she took advantage of the media to force Huo Mian's decision, infuriating her . She didn't have to go through the trouble of putting on a show because even if she had asked Huo Mian in private to forgive her husband, Huo Mian would have agreed .
Huo Mian was okay with the outcome of the incident . As long as they stopped picking on the hospital and the hospital's and her own reputation recovered, she was fine .
However, now Huo Mian was thinking that an as*hole like him should be in jail; he was a scourge on this earth .
The life they were living today was a result of karma… all tragedies began with choices .
Huo Mian wasted some time on the road and it was almost 7 PM when she arrived back at home, her hands empty .
She smelled oil and fumes as soon as she walked in…
Astonished, she walked to the kitchen to see something for the first time – Qin Chu was in a white shirt and black suit pants, making stir-fry .
That's right, Mr . Qin, our master Qin, was making stir-fry!
"Um… President Qin, can you tell me what you're doing?" curious, Huo Mian asked .
