Chapter 166: Three Women in a play
"Oh, Why are you asking me this?"
Still answering her curiosity, Su Chen spoke haughtily.
"But yes, indeed I did find a cosmetic brand: Suring, and the company is an instant hit."
Su Chen talked like it was something casual, the frankness in his tone caught Ichiko Mitshua off-guard.
"I saw the pictures of you and a beautiful woman together during the product launch, is she the secretary you have hired?"
Ichiko Mitshua asked the foremost question in her head.
Her speech was abrupt, the voice seemed to carry an unnatural urgency.
Su Chen raised his eyebrows.
"Miss, I don't think we are that close to talking about such things."
Feeling the alienation in his voice, she felt a little heavier in her chest.
Yes, in what capacity was she asking him such questions?
His girlfriend?…or perhaps a close friend, What a joke!
She had clearly rejected him in the public~
"I-I just felt annoyed, you know I am also the CEO of a rising advertising company."
"You never mentioned your talent to me in the entire year you ardently pestered me."
"If you had told me earlier about your talent, I would have definitely collaborated with you and even invested in your company with the startup capital."
Ichiko Mitshua seemed to have found a backbone, even though she made up the reason on the spot, her face was still flustered.
Su Chen, with his rich experience, directly saw through her facade.
What a duplicitous woman~
It is normally said the more you can't have something the more you are fascinated by it.
Now, looking at Su Chen, who was like a shining star sparkling so high, Ichiko Mitshua, who had rejected him earlier for being incompetent, was feeling uneasy, her mind felt unsettled.
At first, she felt it was just her possessiveness, but seeing him together with Ji Rumeng, talking so happily in a shopping street, laughing so merrily during the launch of their herbal face mask, made her feel like her heart was squeezed by a pair of invisible hands.
She didn't like what she saw.
What does this mean?
Him, finding an equally beautiful and capable woman like Ji Rumeng meant her eyes were blind to letting go of such an amazing man.
Was she thinking like this because of her business-oriented nature driven by missing such a profit Su Chen brought...or because of her private life previously being entangled with his endless pestering?
She didn't know, she couldn't figure it out.
The dilemma in her head occupied all her reasons.
Looking at her, who was hurriedly trying to find an excuse, Su Chen just raised his hand making a stop sign.
"Enough!"
"Ichiko Mitshua, does it even matter?"
"Even if I didn't tell you about my talent, did you try to get to know me?"
Su Chen fell into a state of melancholy as he tried his best to remember all the little memories he inherited.
"I know what kind of cake you like, what kind of clothes you like to wear, what your favourite colour is, every time I tried my best to impress you, I took into consideration everything you liked or disliked."
"But did you ever try to know me?…..so isn't it ruthless for you to say that I never told you about my talent?"
Su Chen's straightforward words instantly broke Mitshua's calm.
She was left thunderstruck by his reply.
All the things she wanted to say, she wanted to ask, felt stuck in her throat.
It felt so hard to breathe.
"I…"
She tried to utter something but was snubbed by Su Chen who was getting impatient.
"Enough, since there is nothing to talk about between us, let's keep our distance."
Su Chen didn't give Ichiko Mitshua any room for discussion as he walked back to the classroom.
His words were just a few sentences, but the impact it brought to Mitshua's mind was enormous.
With a confused face, she dejectedly walked back and sat on her seat.
Throughout classes, her mind kept replaying the underlying meaning of Su Chen's mocking words.
Was she too cold and ruthless when she publicly rejected him?
As a proud woman, it was the first time she introspected her past actions.
Similar to her, Ye Fuang, the protagonist of this story, was equally gloomy.
Looking at his targets talking so intimately with this bastard Su Chgen, the eyes of Ye Fuang sitting at the left-back corner were blood-red.
Full of jealousy, full of anger, if he was not afraid of the law, he would have directly ambushed and killed Su Chen.
Women and power are two things a protagonist can never compromise over. After being shown the door by Ichiko Saori earlier, he blamed Su Chen for everything.
And now, with Ichiko Mitshua talking alone with this villain, his bottom line was touched.
'It seems I need to use that connection after all!'
'Ichiko Saori and Mitshua, you forced me to do this!'
'Since you don't want to listen to me then don't blame me for finding your eldest sister!'
Taking out the mobile from his pocket, Ye Fuang sent a message to a number saved as Goddess!
The content only had only one sentence- I am being wronged, brother needs your help!
After sending the message, a strange smile crept over Ye Fuang's lips.
He was sure with this, everything would be under control.
.....
On the other side, in a foreign land, an elegant woman was presiding over a meeting with a large number of shareholders, and suddenly her phone's notification rang with a message.
"Hmm, Who dares to disturb me during a meeting?"
The woman was about to block the sender, but when she saw the contact's name saved as her dearest brother, her pupils rapidly dilated.
"Who dares to wrong you, Ye Fuang?"
"And weren't you in the same city as my two little sisters, so who got this courage?"
This woman whose name was Ichiko Chisu shouted loudly.
"The meeting is over, I need to fly back to my country!"
Giving her order like a royal decree, not minding the shareholders' bewildered eyes, Ichiko Chisu spontaneously left the meeting room.
