Jing Yao picked up her phone and looked at it. [A female celebrity suspected to have advanced her career with the casting couch.] It was the top trending topic.
The accompanying photo was a very blurry photo. The man's hand reached out to her. Their posture was ambiguous, making one unable to help but fantasize about what they were about to do next.
Jing Yao immediately smiled and looked up at her mother. "Why are you making such a fuss? Who told me that it was just an ordinary business collaboration? Who asked me to go?"
Zhang Li looked a little guilty, but she still said stubbornly, "You said it yourself. It's a business collaboration. I asked you to talk about it, not seduce CEO Wang? You don't know your place, and you're blaming me?"
Jing Yao nodded. "Don't tell me you don't know who CEO Wang is? You know who he is, but you still want me to go. Don't you have anything to say? Do you know that he drugged me?"
Zhang Li was about to speak when Jing Zhen spoke first. "Yaoyao, how can you speak to me like that? Apologize to me! I'm doing this for your own good. Besides, you've already done that with CEO Wang. What if Brother Wen Chen finds out?"
Seeing her sister's pretentious look, Jing Yao couldn't even suppress the smile in her eyes.
Jing Yao said directly, "Stop pretending. You are doing this because you want me to give Wen Chen to you. Why do you have to put in so much effort? As you wish, I will sleep with someone else. I will give you the position of the young mistress of the Wen Family and the position of the daughter of the Jing Family. You have a big business and I can't afford it."
Wen Chen, who had walked to the door, heard the rest of the sentence and his face darkened.
As the new head of the Wen Family, no one had ever dared to humiliate him like this. What right did Jing Yao have? Who gave her the guts?
Wen Chen pushed the door open and came in. He grabbed Jing Yao's high-collared shirt. Seeing the mark on Jing Yao's neck, he even wanted to strangle this woman to death.
He grabbed Jing Yao's neck and said angrily, "Why are you so cheap? A dirty woman like you doesn't deserve to be Mrs. Wen. In that case, let's call off the engagement. You're not worthy!"
Even if the engagement was canceled, it had to be canceled by him. It was not up to this woman to dump him!
Jing Zhen hid the smile on her face and rushed up to pull Wen Chen's sleeve. She pleaded for Jing Yao with red eyes. "Brother Chen, don't be like this. Calm down. Yaoyao has grown up and has her own thoughts. It's my fault. I shouldn't have called you over."
Upon hearing Jing Zhen's words, Wen Chen regained his rationality and let go. For a moment, he really wanted to strangle this woman to death.
No, he was not going to lose control because of her.
Jing Yao coughed violently. Looking at the people in front of her, she was already numb.
Jing Zhen grabbed Jing Yao's hand again and blamed herself. "Yaoyao, are you okay? It's all my fault. I was going to ask Brother Chen to come and get the painting he liked last time. I didn't expect such a thing to happen. I'm sorry. It's all my fault."
After saying that, Jing Zhen's eyes were filled with tears that could not fall. She looked at Wen Chen pitifully.
When Wen Chen saw Jing Zhen like this, his expression softened. Wen Chen had known that Jing Zhen's health was not good since he was young, so he was especially tolerant of her.
Seeing the two of them exchanging glances in front of her, Jing Yao sneered in her heart. "In that case, let's cancel the engagement. A woman like me really shouldn't be Mrs. Wen. I don't want to be Mrs. Wen either!"
Wen Chen's face turned cold at once. He leaned close to Jing Yao and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "I don't want a woman like you even if she throws herself at me! I find it dirty!"
Hearing this, Jing Yao couldn't help but want to laugh. She had never wanted to get close to Wen Chen, nor did she want to become Mrs. Wen. She used to be nice to Wen Chen only because of the so-called "childhood betrothal."
At this moment, Jingyuan walked forward and said to Wen Chen casually, "Brother Chen, Yaoyao isn't a child anymore. Don't blame her. I didn't discipline her well. I was also in the wrong. If I had cared more about Yaoyao, I wouldn't have been like this. It's just that Yaoyao has been rebellious since she was young and isn't close to Mom and me."
Wen Chen was still angry, but when he heard Jing Yuan blaming herself, he couldn't help but comfort her. "She's just a loner. Don't worry about her. If she were like you, she wouldn't have done such a thing."
Although Jing Yao was engaged to Wen Chen, every time Wen Chen came to the Jing Family, he could not see Jing Yao. She rarely appeared in the Jing Family, so Wen Chen and Jing Yuan had a better relationship and could be considered childhood sweethearts. In addition, Jing Yuan had been in poor health since she was young, so even if he was angry, he would not vent it on Jing Yuan.
Hearing Wen Chen's words, Jing Yao's face turned cold. She had seen this kind of scene too many times over the years. She glanced at Jing Yuan and saw her looking at Wen Chen shyly. Seeing her look over, Jing Yuan's face had a hint of mockery and smugness.
Seeing that Jing Yao stopped talking, Wen Chen turned to Zhang Li. "What do you think, Auntie? Do we still need to continue the engagement?"
Zhang Li was very willing to let them cancel the engagement. Only then would her precious eldest daughter have the chance to marry into the Wen Family and become the wife of a wealthy family. However, she put on a bitter expression and said, "I did not teach this daughter well and embarrassed the Jing Family. I have let you down!"
