Chapter 20 Threat
Jean Wen shook her head, seemlingly without any concern," No, it's not that I'm kind. If you were to forever stay by the side of a man, who doesn't have any feelings for you, even if this man is extremely outstanding and remarkable, he won't love you, would you be happy? To me, a marriage of convenience, without any love, is just a cage. But it is not the same for you. To you, he will be like a nest, a nest full of love. Inside, you will have completely different feelings and emotions."
Saying this, Jean Wen couldn't help taking in a deep breath.
"Are you sure you won't regret it?" In the end, Eva Xu still felt uneasy about Jean Wen.
Jean Wen shook her head again and replied with a firm look," What is there to regret? There is no medicine for regret in this world. As long as I can leave Zed Qi, I'll be very happy."
"Alright. I will do it."
"Thank you." After saying this, Jean Wen softly smiled.
"If, and I mean if, Zed Qi and I really get back together, I will definitely be very grateful to you." At the thought of reconciling with Zed Qi, Eva Xu couldn't hold back the excitement inside her heart. She appeared exceptionally happy. Her tender white face instantly flushed red.
Jean Wen?was still wearing the same smile on her face, but the smile did not reach her eyes.
In her chestnut-colored eyes, there was an unknown sorrow that she did not even know it existed.
"There is no need to thank me. I'm just helping myself."
"Alright, then from now on, we'll be good friends. Let me know if you run into any problems. I will definitely help you without any hesitation. The things that happened that night were my fault. But to be honest, I really didn't like you very much. Will you forgive me?" She's already starting to worm her way into being friends and cottoning up to her?
This change was too fast!
Jean Wen forcibly lifted the corners of her mouth into a smile. She smiled with her mouth, but not with her eyes. Afterwards, she lowered her head down to concentrate on eating the pasta on the plate in front of her.
Seeing Jean Wen not saying anything, Eva Xu turned off the recorder on her cellphone while Jean Wen wasn't paying attention. After Eva Xu finished of all this, she said," If you don't talk, I will take it as your tacit approval. It was Sue Mi that put aphrodisiac in the drinks that night. She originally wanted to set me up with Zed Qi, but she didn't expect that..."
Jean Wen suddenly stopped her right hand that was holding the pasta on her fork. The air seemed to have solidified at that moment as well.
So that night, it was like that... Zed Qi was drugged with aphrodisiac!
His behavior that night was just the result of being drugged with aphrodisiac and losing his mind. Therefore, even if it was another girl, that kind of thing was going to happen anyway. After Jean Wen realized this, her heart indescribably sank.
"As a result, he didn't realize that you two..." Eva Xu swallowed the unspoken words. It seemed like she had a whole stomach of words to say, yet was too embarrassed to open her mouth. Jean Wen looked up and stared at her without a word.
Being stared at by Jean Wen, Eva Xu felt a little awkward and was even more embarrassed to ask her anything else.
As a matter of fact, Eva Xu desperately wanted to know whether or not something that shouldn't have happened, but did happen, between Zed Qi and Jean Wen.
"What I mean is..." Eva Xu paused, but felt like something was stuck in her throat.
Jean Wen thought for a moment and spoke first," You know men. They only want to have fun. As long as his heart is here with you, then it's more than enough."
Jean Wen's intentions were already very clear.
Eva Xu was so upset in her heart that her teeth itched. But she had nowhere else to take it out on, and she could only blame everything on Sue Mi. If she had not put aphrodisiac in Zed Qi's drink on her own accord, how would they have... "Alright. Since we have made it clear, there is nothing left to say. Just wait for my good news."
Upon hearing this, Eva Xu immediately nodded her head repeatedly.
Jean Wen glanced at her cellphone and realized that she had been out for a while now. Anyways, everything she needed to say, she'd already said very clearly.
Fortunately, this was a peaceful meeting.
After saying goodbye to Eva Xu, Jean Wen left the cafe first.
The sunlight outside was just right.
As the wind blew, the air seemed to be mixed with a slight fragrance of flowers.
Jean Wen didn't really know whether she should be happy or not. Those words Eva Xu just said to her still seemed to be echoing in her ear. Eva Xu was right. Some things were just destined to be like they were. As if consoling herself, Jean Wen felt much better in her heart.
Unknowingly, there was a man in black casual-wear staking her out nearby for a while now. He'd been following Jean Wen ever since she left home. Just, he didn't find any chances to make a move.
He had already lost his patience after waiting outside the cafe for such a long time. As soon as he saw Jean Wen was alone, and there was no one else within several meters, he rushed out instantly. A knife was pressed against Jean Wen's waist.
Jean Wen's first thought was to call for help, but when the sharp tip of the knife pricked into her skin, that distinct feeling made her clearly realize her situation.
Robbery? Kidnapping? Revenge?
Jean Wen had tons of doubts. She was extremely terrified, but she needed to calm herself down first.
"Hey, handsome, whatever it is, let's talk it out. Isn't this kind of behavior not too good? Do we know each other? If you are just looking for money, I have a blank check in my bag..."
The man holding the knife was standing behind Jean Wen, so she didn't know what he looked like. She could only barely tell it was a man from his scent and breath.
"Tsk tsk, it truly is different to be around with Zed Qi."
Upon hearing his voice, a cold shiver uncontrollably ran down Jean Wen's spine.
This voice... It's Winner Wen!
The ignorant and useless son of the Wen's.
Shirley Wen was already enough for Jean Wen to take. She didn't expect that now came another Wen.
Heh, truly never-ending!
"What do you want?"
Jean Wen didn't look back. Under this kind of circumstance, to actually be able to be this calm, it was somewhat scary.
Winner Wen coldly smiled and answered rudely," What do you think I want? I heard Zed Qi took back the land that he was going to transfer to the Wen Group. As our father's son, I should try to solve this problem for our father, right?" As expected! It was still for that land.
Shirley Wen and their father had purposefully visited Jean Wen earlier for that land, putting on a pretentious front with ill-intentions behind it. And now, Winner Wen's behavior was just plain violence.
"Then you should go to Zed Qi. It was his decision to take back the land."
Jean Wen took a deep breath and blamed it all on Zed Qi.
She was pretty sure that it would take Winner Wen a lot of guts to provoke Zed Qi. And even if he had the guts, he would not have that power.
Winner Wen pursed his lips and then said in dissatisfaction," Do you think I wouldn't know what you're thinking right now? You must be thinking that I wouldn't dare go provoke Zed Qi. So you're pushing all the blame onto him, right? Do you think I'm that stupid? If you didn't say anything, why would Zed Qi take back the land that was already under the transfer process?"
As soon as Winner Wen's voice dropped, Jean Wen snorted.
"How important do you think I am to Zed Qi? What makes you think that Zed Qi would listen to me?"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
