Chapter 2718: She’s Jealous! (3)
She suddenly sat up, clutching her head with both hands, trying to shake those images from her mind, but she just couldn’t.
"Do you know what it means to be with Jiang Nan?"
"I’m the older brother, does that mean Jiang Nan isn’t your brother?"
Dan Tingye’s roar seemed to resound in her ears again. Meimei tightly gripped her hair, curling up in distress.
She wasn’t together with Jiang Nan at all; she had no idea that the banquet was a matchmaking event. She knew nothing...
Why was he so harsh to her?
She hadn’t seen him for a week; the moment he saw her, he lost his temper.
Meimei bit her lip, holding back the tears that were about to spill over.
In her mind, scenes from today’s banquet replayed continuously; when Mr. Zhong said he would introduce a girlfriend to him, when Zhong Qing appeared, when he lost his temper at her...
Images flickered in her mind like a movie.
Seeing him turn his back and walk away felt like her heart was being torn apart...
What exactly was happening to her?
-
A sleepless night.
The next day, Meimei got up early. Her big eyes were swollen from crying and not having slept the whole night.
After applying some compress, the swelling went down a bit.
She made herself a cup of milk, drank it, and then left for work as usual.
Colleagues in the planning department noticed her eyes looked off and expressed some concern. Once they confirmed she was okay, they returned to their posts.
Meimei sat at her desk, looking at the sticky note reminding her to buy groceries after work. Her eyes tightened.
Now that Tingye disliked her so much, he definitely wouldn’t want to eat anything she cooked.
She tore off the sticky note, crumpled it, and tossed it into the trash.
She was so angry that she used too much force, and the paper ball missed the trash can, falling outside instead.
Even the paper ball was bullying her!
Meimei puffed her cheeks, stood up from her seat, walked over to pick up the paper ball, and was about to throw it back into the trash when she heard her coworker at the next desk speaking.
"Have you heard? Early this morning, a beautiful woman came looking for our CEO, and they say she’s got an incredible figure!"
"..."
A woman looking for Dan Tingye?
Images from the dinner yesterday, where women kept clinging to him, flashed across Meimei’s mind. Could it be someone had come looking for him?
She stiffened, leaning in a little closer, hoping to hear more clearly.
"What do you know? A good figure is one thing, but I hear she’s a famous young lady from a prominent family, with extraordinary poise!" another colleague chimed in.
"You’re making it sound so mysterious, who is it?" someone asked.
Meimei blinked her big eyes and instinctively nodded.
A good question, she too wanted to know who it was.
"I heard from the front desk receptionists that the name registered was Zhong Qing, apparently Sir Zhong’s granddaughter."
"Zhong Qing? You mean the female entrepreneur who, like our CEO, took over the family business at a young age?"
"That’s the word on the street, but I haven’t seen it myself, so I don’t know if it’s true. You know, our CEO usually doesn’t have women around him, so everyone’s curiosity is piqued. With so many rumors, it’s hard to tell what’s true," someone thoughtfully analyzed.
"Our CEO’s standards are so high, even if Zhong Qing wanted to enter his office, she’d probably be kicked out!"
