Chapter 20 - Chapter 20: You're Right, My Taste Was Terrible

Indeed, her taste in the past had been abysmal,

to the point where she'd almost lost her life.

Looking at Chun Ji and Xue Qin, Jasmine felt nothing but disgust.

Over the past five years, they had gone out of their way to torment her, showing up in front of her time and time again. Especially Chun Ji,

who had tried to play both sides. Just the other day, at the entrance of the Chu Consortium, he had even attempted to meddle in her life.

"Xue'er, stop it," Chun Ji said, pulling Xue Qin away from him as he met Jasmine's cold, clear gaze.

"Hmph, Chun - gege, are you feeling shy? We're about to get married," Xue Qin pouted, her voice full of dissatisfaction.

In front of Jasmine, she and Chun Ji would act overly affectionate, doing all sorts of things to flaunt their relationship.

She wanted to see Jasmine break down in despair.

"You're right, my taste was terrible. But right now, things are pretty good, aren't they?" Jasmine said, her tone full of false flattery, subtly complimenting Yiqin Chu in the process.

"Jasmine, our wedding is next month. Don't forget you're supposed to be my bridesmaid. Aren't you going to wish us well today?" Xue Qin said arrogantly, a tinge of jealousy creeping into her heart.

Jasmine seemed to have a special connection with the man beside her.

Yiqin Chu was breathtakingly handsome, with a unique, aloof air. Just at a glance, he was far superior to Chun Ji.

This man was the dream of every socialite in Jiangcheng.

"Young Master Chu, did you know that my sister got pregnant out of wedlock five years ago? She has a real knack for seducing men," Xue Qin said, smiling coquettishly as she tried to exaggerate the story in front of Yiqin Chu.

"Young Master Chu, Jasmine was originally my fiancée. But at the engagement party five years ago, she showed up pregnant with someone else's child, and then..."

"And then you deliberately humiliated her at the engagement party?"

Yiqin Chu's tone was flat, but it carried a hint of coldness that made Chun Ji's face change.

"Chun Ji, you could have called off the engagement before the party. But you and Xue Qin plotted to expose her in front of everyone, embarrassing me. And Xue Qin, don't you know how that child in my womb came about?"

Chun Ji's voice wavered, but he didn't want to seem inferior in front of Yiqin Chu.

"Xue'er would never do such a thing. Jasmine, don't slander her.

Young Master Chu, you see how this woman always tries to wriggle out of things," Chun Ji said. He didn't want Jasmine to work at the Chu Consortium. Ever since she started there, she seemed like a different person, slipping out of his control.

"Seduction? Wriggling out of things?"

Yiqin Chu repeated these two phrases. A cold smile appeared on his icy features. "You're right."

She had indeed done those things.

An awkward look crossed Jasmine's face. She knew exactly what the man meant, but Xue Qin and Chun Ji misinterpreted it, thinking that Yiqin Chu had believed their words.

"So, such an employee definitely shouldn't be allowed to stay at the Chu Consortium. And a woman like her isn't fit to be around you,"

the two of them became even more eager to persuade.

"I like being seduced by her, and I like it when she wriggles out of things," Yiqin Chu said, slightly raising his eyelids. This cold statement silenced Chun Ji and Xue Qin. They stared at each other, dumbfounded.

"Yiqin Chu, you..." Jasmine's cheeks flushed slightly. She never expected this cold - hearted man to say such words. What did he mean by 'being seduced by her'?

At that time, she had mistaken him for someone else.

She was supposed to be looking for Guangxuan Chu. How could it have ended up being him!

Xue Qin was seething with anger. Seeing Jasmine's shy expression, she gritted her teeth in hatred.

Had Young Master Chu taken a fancy to this slut?

"Chun - gege, let's go in," Xue Qin said, gritting her teeth. She had to back off for now. She was afraid of offending Yiqin Chu and incurring the wrath of the Chu family.

There would be plenty of opportunities to deal with Jasmine later.
