Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

Meanwhile, Eva was shopping there too. She was holding onto her best friend, Sue's hand. Jean saw them first. They happened to walk in their direction. Jean was a little speechless. 'Are those rich second generations capable of nothing except going for shopping all the

time?'

Eva was found shopping even the last time when they met.

Since she ran into Eva now, Eva would definitely not let her get away so easily.

She knew Eva well and she was certain that Eva would try and mess with her as hard as she can. And just in case, Eva exposed the fact that her marriage to Zed was only a business marriage, it would be a complete mess.

At the thought of this, she panicked. Suddenly, an idea came to her. She told Jade instantly, "Mom, I need to go to the restroom. Could you please wait for me here for a second?"

"Sure ..."

"Ah!" A kid bumped suddenly into Jade. Jean held onto her subconsciously and stopped Jade from getting hurt. Luckily, she acted so fast that Jade didn't get injured. However, the sudden noise attracted the attention of the two people in front of them. "Mom, are you all right?" Jean asked Jade with concern. She was busy checking if Jade was okay and didn't notice that she had attracted Eva's attention in all this.

"I'm okay. Such a naughty kid." Jade replied and then patted on the chest, still feeling a little frightened.

Sue reacted first. She pointed to Jean and asked, "Eva, is that Jean Wen?"

Eva looked up and ran into Jean's rattled eyes by coincidence. She lifted the corner of her mouth and nodded. There was a hint of evilness radiating from her face. It looked as if she was scheming something at the moment. "Exactly! What a coincidence to meet her here!"

Eva said with an evil smile as she strode towards her.

"It turns out that we are so destined to be around each other. It hasn't even been a while since we two met last time." Eva said with a hint of sarcasm. The indescribable smile on her face looked as if she was going to teach Jean a good lesson today. Jean frowned and realized something bad was going to happen as soon as she saw Eva.

Jade looked at Jean and asked after she took a glance at Eva, "Jean, is this your friend?"

Jean didn't know what to say. Eva turned to Jade. She raised her eyebrows and asked with an arrogant voice, "Aunt, are you Jean's mother? You must know that your daughter is really very ill mannered. She is such a slutty whore that she always tries to seduce men." "Exactly!" Sue echoed, standing right next to Eva. She snorted as she was glaring at Jean.

Upon hearing this, Jade's face turned gloomy.

She used to be mild but now she suddenly looked as serious as a teacher. She scolded, "What makes you talk like an evil woman at such a young age? How did Jean seduce men? If you can't give me a reasonable explanation, I will not let you leave from here!" Eva and Sue didn't expect this middle-aged woman to be so fierce. Eva's face turned cold immediately. She said, "I just told you the truth. If you don't believe me, ask your daughter. Even when she got married, she was still involved with her ex-boyfriend. You didn't read the scandal about them on Weibo earlier? It was truly a scene. It was even on the trending list of Weibo. Not too long ago, your daughter herself claimed that she couldn't forget her ex-boyfriend!" There was a hint of complacency on Eva's face. She was pretty pleased with what she just said as she patted on her sleeves with an arrogant look.

"Yeah, like mother, like daughter." Sue added as she looked at Jade from top to bottom and then mocked at her, "Don't even try to pretend that you are some socialite. You think wearing famous brands can make you an upper class woman? Don't be ridiculous. Isn't your company so obscure and tiny? You really think that you are somebody big? Compared to the Qi Group, your company is just like an ant looking up to an elephant. I guess the famous brands that you are wearing are bought with the money that your daughter got from Zed. Although their marriage is nominal and only for commercial benefits, isn't it embarrassing for her to keep spending the money that belonged to Eva's future husband?"

Sue folded her arms and raised her head. She glanced at them with mockery in her eyes.

Jade was otherwise furious but when she heard what they just said, her eyebrows frowned. She couldn't believe it and asked, "What did you just say? Nominal?" Jade trembled. She couldn't accept the sudden piece of information that she just received. To her, Zed and Jean looked as if they were deeply in love. How could it be possible for them to be married for commercial benefits?

"Don't pretend like you don't know. It was a business marriage strictly for commercial benefits. Everyone knows about it. Do you think your daughter has really become the daughter-in-law of the Qis?" Eva snorted and said in a sarcastic voice, "Look at yourself in the mirror. You don't have that quality in you!"

"Right. Zed even had a romantic candle light dinner with Eva last night." Sue added in a proud tone. The evil smile on their faces got bigger.

Boom! Sue's words shook Jean just like a thunder. Last night? A romantic candle light dinner? Wasn't Zed busy with his work at the company? Wasn't that the reason he gave for not coming back home last night? How come he ended up with having dinner with Eva? Was Zed not at the company last night? Did he stay with Eva the whole night?

So he rushed back from the film set only because he had an appointment with Eva?

Thinking of that, Jean suddenly felt so heartbroken. She felt as if somebody just pierced her heart with a knife.

Although she knew that she and Zed were only acting these days, she still felt a little heartbroken when she heard that Zed was with Eva last night.

"Zed was with you last night?" Jade enquired with her eyes wide open. She couldn't believe what she just heard. She turned to Eva and Sue and asked, "And you mean Zed and Jean got married only for commercial benefits?" Jade couldn't help but tremble when she asked that out. She was trying her best to calm herself down but it was hard for her to stay calm when she heard such a shocking news.

"You didn't know that? They will be getting divorced soon!" Sue threw another bomb at her as she saw that Jade really didn't know anything about this.

Jean clenched her fists as she bit her lips and said, "Are you done yet?" She had heard enough and couldn't help but tremble due to anger.

"What's wrong? You can't take it any further?" Eva said as she lifted the corner of her mouth. Her lips were as red as the flame in the sunlight.

"Jean, are they telling the truth?" Jade asked furiously. She covered her chest and was breathing heavily.

Jean held onto Jade to stop her from shaking. Then she explained, "Mom, don't listen to them. They are only talking bullshit. It's not like that." Seeing Jade get really uncomfortable, Jean was a little concerned.

"No, I'll let Zed explain all this to me! If it is all true, then he really doesn't take me seriously. I am his mother! How dare he do that!" She said angrily. She gradually calmed herself down. Now, she was really eager to see Zed and figure out the truth right away. "Mother?" Eva hesitated for a second. Then she asked in doubt, "Aren't you Jean's mother?" Thinking of another possibility, a cold shiver uncontrollably ran down her spine. She gazed at Jade and tried to deny the idea that she could be Zed's mother. Jade tried hard to control her emotions and stared at Eva with a cold look and said, "I am Zed's mother! Who are you? Was he really with you last night?"

Upon hearing Jade claim herself as Zed's mother, Eva and Sue were totally stunned. For a moment they froze in their place. They were so astonished that they could do nothing at the moment except just staring at Jean and Jade with a look of shock on their faces. "Jean, this is Zed's mother?" Eva asked as she bit her lips, anxiously.

"What if she is? Are you not done yet? Was it fun for you to be so aggressive at me?"

Jean's answer broke Eva's last hope. Her face turned pale and rigid.

She put on an embarrassed smile and held onto Jade's arm as she explained, "Aunt, I'm so sorry but I didn't know you are Zed's mother. If I had known that, I would not have been so impolite with you."

She regretted whatever she said deeply now. How stupid she was to think of Zed's mother as Jean's mother! She thought Zed's parents had been living abroad all the while and only moved here a few days back.

But she never thought she would run into Zed's mother like that. She blamed Jean for all this. If it were not for her, she wouldn't have acted like that the first time she met her mother-in-law-to-be! "Who are you?" Jade looked at her, displeased.

"I'm Zed's girlfriend." She replied with a big smile though she was still anxious in her heart.

"Zed's girlfriend?" Jade dazed for a second and then turned to Jean and asked, "What is going on here?" She was totally confused now.

"Mom, it's not like what she said. If you want to know the whole story, let's wait for Zed to explain all of this to you." Jean said as she panicked in her heart though she tried to reply back to Jade calmly.

If Zed spent last night with Eva, then they must be back in love with each other now.

Though Zed asked her to act in front of his parents but now that Eva exposed the whole truth, he would definitely have to lay his cards on the table before his parents, no?

Thinking of that, Jean got so upset that she felt as if her heart was shattered into a million pieces.

On hearing Jean's words, Jade relaxed a little bit.

She frowned and looked at Eva with resentment, "What girlfriend? To me, you are just a girl without any family education! What kind of person are you to humiliate people in public and pester a man who's married! Listen up, stay away from Zed from now on!"
