Chapter 201
After getting into the car, Yang June spent a long time reflecting on what the point of doing so was; if Wang Boyce no longer loved her, even if she was angry because she had gotten into another man’s car, it was out of male pride.
Perhaps it was better than doing nothing and allowing him and He Ren to let loose under his nose.
Not to break his heart, just to gain that little bit of face for himself.
“If I’m right, at this moment, your heart must be cursing that Miss He to your ancestors.” An Chen looked at her askance and said with a smile.
Yang June returned to her senses and sat up slightly straighter.
An Chen only guessed half right, the person she wanted to scold in her heart was never Miss Ho, Wang Boyce had so many ladies around her, how many could she scold?
If Wang Boyce has her in his heart, even the most flirtatious Miss Ho can’t get close to him, it’s Wang Boyce who has changed, not these ladies.
“Do you think I’m such a bore?” She responded faintly, her gaze frozen in the scenery whizzing by outside the window since the beginning.
An Chen’s phone rings, he picks it up and hangs up quickly, then puts the phone back in the cabinet and is about to open his mouth when Yang June suddenly turns her face and stares at him, “You’re not really in love with me, are you?”
The car jolted suddenly, as if it had been hit by something.
An Chen panicked and tightened his grip on the steering wheel, turning his head to stare at Yang June as he waited for the red light and gritted his teeth, “Ms. Yang, it won’t happen again, if you ask me this question again, I will give you a heartfelt answer, and by then you won’t be able to regret it.”
Yang June bristled, it was best if she thought more about it.
In a situation like this, she does need a good man to help her regain her dignity, and if it comes to relationships, she’d rather not.
A rich and handsome man like An Chen, who was surrounded by women the least, should not have thoughts about her, a married woman.
Yang June relaxed a little and swept her gaze back out the car window, the Palace of Culture was in sight, she told An Chen to pull the car over and said to him, “Thank you for your help earlier, you made me look good in front of Wang Boyce.”
“You’re welcome, wife snatching is my specialty.”
“What?”
“Uh … I mean that Wang Boyce guy is so dragged out, I said I’d help you screw him over.”
“Nuts!” Yang June gave him a shady look.
As bad as Wang Boyce is, she doesn’t want him to die one day before she does, or she wouldn’t have bothered to steal his Valium pills.
An Chen didn’t care about the three words ‘psycho’ she gave him, instead he smiled and lowered his head, surveying the scene outside the car window and asked him, “What are you doing here?”
“Class.” Yang June replied briefly, pushing the door to get out of the car.
After graduating from school and joining a magazine, she would come here to teach children whenever she could.
These little kids are from the LS City orphanage, they can’t afford tuition, they can’t afford teachers, and they are taught by kind art teachers during the week.
Usually Yang June comes two or three times a week, it’s just that these days there’s so much going on that she’s coming less often.
The joy of a small child is always most contagious.
When you’re upset, it’s nice to have a quick and happy painting with them.
After getting into An Chen’s car under Wang Boyce’s watchful eye, Yang June was extremely restless throughout the night, and even the lead teacher could see how distracted she was.
After teaching an hour class, Yang June went straight home
As she had expected, Wang Boyce did not return, having been absent all night.
She should have been used to Wang Boyce’s absence, but she still felt melancholy when she looked at the empty bed.
Many times Wang Boyce would return just as the sky was letting up, and he could feel it even without Yang June saying that he had trouble sleeping, no matter which woman’s side he slept on.
Today … he didn’t return, for unknown reasons.
Not wanting to face the mingling of fronts and fires at the breakfast table, she went out without breakfast.
Because she had an appointment to meet with Teng Tian’s manager Liu, she didn’t go back to the magazine, but went straight to Teng Tian’s company.
On the way there, she used her tablet to briefly learn about Teng Tian, which was a fairly large film and television company that had produced a number of classics.
Not long after the receptionist welcomed her into the parlor, Manager Liu appeared, short, fat, round faced, and with a Mediterranean head … typical of a successful man’s face.
He leaned against the door and examined Yang June carefully, that exploratory gaze made Yang June extremely uncomfortable and couldn’t help but lower her head. With so much exposure lately, it was normal that Manager Liu would ogle her like this.
After a long time, Manager Liu finally spoke up in surprise, “You don’t look as ugly as the legend says!”
Yang June blushed and lowered her head with an expressionless face, “Thank you, Mr. Liu, for your compliment.”
“Ms. Yang, what happened to you?” A thick, warm palm covered the back of his hand, Yang June was startled, busy pulling back his palm uncomfortably, “Nothing … Liu, let’s talk about business …”
It happened that at this time, the receptionist knocked at the door and said, “Mr. Liu, Mr. Wang is coming over.”
Yang June turned her head, and with a glance she saw Wang Boyce standing behind the small receptionist looking thoughtfully at the small hand she had just pulled back from Liu’s palm.
It seemed that he had just seen the scene, and Yang June felt her face flush with shame.
“Oh, Mr. Wang ah.” Manager Liu immediately stood up from his chair and salivated to welcome him, treating Wang Boyce as if he had met his own father to curry favor.
He welcomed Wang Boyce in, looked at Yang June in the parlor, and introduced her with a smile, “This is Ms. Yang, the business representative of the An Group.”
Wang Boyce, on the other hand, looked askance at Yang June and spoke mockingly, “So it’s An’s business representative, just looking at you guys … I thought it was your new love interest, Mr. Liu.”
Yang June’s face was so hot and restless that it instantly went up to the nape of her neck, and even her limbs were as hot as if they were on fire.
Wang Boyce’s mockery was so naked that he must have thought the wrong thing again, must have thought she would do anything to get what she wanted.
“Mr. Wang is joking, I don’t have this blessing, haha …” Liu, who didn’t understand, laughed.
Wang Boyce’s arrival made Yang June sit on pins and needles and couldn’t stay any longer, as she politely said to Mr. Liu, “Mr. Liu has a guest today, so I’d better come back another time, so I’ll take my leave.”
“Okay, as long as the price is right, we at Teng Tian will give it some thought, we’ll make an appointment another day to discuss it in detail.”This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Okay, goodbye Mr. Liu.” Yang June finished this sentence and walked quickly towards the door of the meeting room, not wanting to stay for one more moment.
Where there’s Wang Boyce, there’s hell on earth!
After leaving Teng Tian, Yang June started calling Wang Boyce’s phone number and got an unavailable response. Apparently, Wang Boyce had blacklisted her.
The heart can’t help but color a chill, Wang Boyce is too desperate to do this.
She put the phone down and couldn’t wait to get back to the magazine and call from her office phone, which went through this time, but Wang Boyce’s number stayed unanswered.
Before Wang Boyce hated her but not so much that he wouldn’t answer her calls, after all it was a very classless act. But today he not only blacklisted her, but also refused to listen to her calls.
After an hour she pulled again and the phone was finally answered, by a young woman. The voice was sweet as water and refreshing.
Yang June didn’t want to guess and ask who the other party was and why they were answering Wang Boyce’s phone, but spoke directly, “This is Mrs. Wang, please put Wang Boyce on the phone.”
“Mrs. Wang …?” After that moment of doubt, the woman said politely, “Mr. Wang is in a meeting, please wait.”
Immediately afterwards, Yang June heard Wang Boyce’s voice, which was an icy coldness squeezed out of her teeth, “Yang, the CEO of An’s Group, asked for me … What can I do for you?”
At the end he added, “Say something, I’m busy.”
Wang Boyce snorted, “You’re calling me to plead with me to give up the acquisition of Teng Tian and give the opportunity to your An.”
“The opportunity to acquire Teng Tian is equal for all, I don’t need you to let.”
“Sorry, I’m in a meeting right now, I don’t have time to hang up.” Wang Boyce finished and was about to hang up, when Yang June was busy saying, “You’ll be home early tonight …”
The phone hung up, leaving only a ‘beep’ muffled tone.
Even hanging up the phone like that without a moment’s hesitation.
Was it her leaving with An Chen last night, or that one touch of fingers with Mr. Liu today that made Wang Boyce so disgusted with herself?
Holding the phone in her hand, Yang June didn’t look back for a long time.
She didn’t snap out of her daze until Greta came over to inquire about the progress, and looking at the expectant Greta, she kindly soothed, “Mr. Liu said he would consider it as long as the price was right.”
“Really?” Greta got excited.
Yang June nodded and watched her walk out cheerfully.
In fact, she wasn’t sure at all, not before, and even less now when she’d seen the way Liu so ingratiated himself with Wang Boyce.
But she wasn’t going to give up, not only because of Greta, but also because she didn’t want to admit defeat. If Wang Boyce had just said that, he was sure that she would lose, so if she gave up, she would be admitting defeat in front of Wang Boyce.
In the matter of Teng Tian, she’s decided to go head to head with Wang Boyce, no matter what the outcome!
It was raining in the sky at the end of the shift, drizzling, and the whole air was filled with wet and cold.
Yang June mingled with the crowd as they walked out of the building and into the rain.
Although she tells Wang Boyce on the phone that she hopes he will return early, Yang June doesn’t expect him to really come back; after all, her words are never taken to heart by Wang Boyce.
When she returns home, however, she is surprised to see Wang Boyce’s Cayenne car parked in the garden.
A momentary tinge of surprise colored her heart that Wang Boyce had actually listened to her and returned early.
She quickened her steps towards the main house, and from afar, she could hear the sound of women’s cheerful talk and laughter coming from inside the house. The laughter sounded somewhat familiar, and the steps she had just quickened unconsciously slowed down as she finally heard that the laughter belonged to He Ren.
The greater the hope the greater the disappointment, such a truth is most evident in Wang Boyce, yet she fails to learn it every time like an idiot.
Having been hurt once the last time he delivered squab soup, this time it was both still so ridiculous to think he’d changed and cared about her.
She didn’t understand where He Ren got the guts to seduce someone else’s husband since it wasn’t enough to seduce him openly, but she also seduced him to his home, how could she be embarrassed as the original spouse?
Yang June steadied her trembling body, loosened her hands into fists bit by bit, then took a customary light breath, curled her lips, and struck out for the house with her head held high.
Even if she’s destined to be the underdog, she’s got to posture for her appearance!
Inside the house, the four of them, He Ren and Mrs. Wang and Yang CarinaAimee, are playing mahjong and having a good time.
Seeing Yang June enter, He Ren greeted her with a smile as she touched her cards, while Mrs. Wang and Yang Carina habitually treated her like air.
