Chapter 9
Chapter 9
It was late at night.
It was time to sleep, but Lin Yuzhen couldn't sleep at all.
She was very nervous.
Even though she felt that there were definitely more good people than bad ones in the world, but she had only known Jiang Ning for one day.
Besides, the information they had said that Jiang Ning had some mental illness, so what was she going to do if he suddenly went out of control?
Jiang Ning was lying on the floor and he could sense the anxiety in Lin Yuzhen's breathing.
"You don't have to put a pair of scissors under your pillow," Jiang Ning suddenly spoke. "Don't worry and just sleep.
Goodnight.”
Jiang Ning then closed his eyes first.
Lin Yuzhen's heart dropped and she took her hand out from under the pillow.
She bit her lip gently. How did Jiang Ning know she had put a pair of scissors there?
"He won't hurt me.”
For some reason, Lin Yuzhen was more and more confident of this.
So she relaxed, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
The night passed uneventfully.
Lin Yuzhen woke up the next day, and she had slept pretty ok. Jiang Ning was already eating breakfast when she walked out of the room.
Instead it was Sumei who had bloodshot eyes. She obviously hadn't slept well.
"Quickly come and eat breakfast, Mum woke up super early to prepare it."
Jiang Ning really helped himself around here.
When she saw Lin Yuzhen head for the bathroom, Sumei quickly ran in after her.
"Last night, did he..."
"Nothing happened, Mum."
Lin Yuzhen blushed. "He slept on the floor, didn't touch me."
After saying that, Lin Yuzhen found herself thinking in a different direction.
Should she praise Jiang Ning for being gentlemanly, or that she wasn't charming enough?
That wasn't possible - she had been the prettiest girl around since she was young. If she burnt all the love letters she received, the fire could cook a whole pot of porridge.
Sumei was relieved to hear this.
She was secretly hoping to wait for a good time to separate Lin Yuzhen and Jiang Ning, so they could live separate lives.
"Come on, I'll send you to work."
Once he was done with breakfast, Jiang Ning wanted to send Lin Yuzhen to work.
"No need, I'll go by myself."
Lin Yuzhen advised him, "You'd better stay at home, it's dangerous outside.”
What if Lin Feng secretly attacks Jiang Ning?
"Don't worry, they wouldn't dare."
Jiang Ning frowned as he saw Lin Yuzhen push her electric scooter out.
A scooter huh.
She was the granddaughter of the Lins, but her standard of living was really quite poor.
"Thanks then."
Lin Yuzhen felt bad to reject him, so she let Jiang Ning ride the scooter while she hid behind his back. At least this way she didn't have to endure the cold wind in her face.
Somehow this feeling was a little different.
At the Lin Group Headquarters Main Entrance.
There were more than a hundred employees standing at the main door waiting to receive Lin Yuzhen.
But you could see anger and displeasure written on everybody's faces.
They only got the notice at around 1 or 2am the night before that they had to be in office an hour earlier to receive Lin Yuzhen.
And why should they do this anyway?
Especially after they had heard some gossip about Lin Yuzhen sleeping with the infamous CEO Huang, and was purposely showing off to Lin Group!
Never mind that the company could face tremendous losses, she even decided willfully that she wouldn't go to work since she didn't want to.
Even the CEO Lin Qiang, her uncle, had to beg her to come back to work!
This was going overboard!
How could there be such a person? Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
The anger among the employees was enough to reach the sky.
Lin Qiang stood right in front and could feel the anger from the employees. This was exactly the effect he wanted.
He didn't believe Lin Yuzhen could still stay in Lin Group after ruffling all her colleagues' feathers!
Once she had signed the contract, she would definitely leave quietly.
"Have you called CEO Huang?" Lin Qiang asked.
"I did. When I said Lin Yuzhen would be here, he said he'd drop by personally.”
Lin Feng was filled with jealousy.
When he went to get the contract signed, he didn't have the right to even see CEO Huang. But now that Lin Yuzhen was the one representing them, CEO Huang was actually making a trip to their company.
This slut really had a trick or two huh.
This was better still - he was going to let the entire company see Lin Yuzhen's true colors!
Jiang Ning was riding the scooter, and as the pillion rider, Lin Yuzhen had nowhere to place her hands and could only gently hold onto Jiang Ning's clothes.
"I didn't expect this."
From afar, Jiang Ning could see that Lin Qiang had brought a large group of employees to stand at the entrance with him, and a naughty look flashed across his face.
This Lin Qiang really didn't know what was good for him.
Lin Yuzhen alighted and was immediately shocked by what she saw.
Wasn't it supposed to be only Lin Qiang waiting for her? What was the entire company doing out here?
She suddenly felt claustrophobic.
"We welcome back Miss Lin!"
Lin Feng threw a glance at his secretary and she immediately shouted this.
The next moment, the entire group of employees shouted the same thing in unison.
Lin Yuzhen could feel very clearly that their voices were filled with anger, hate, displeasure and even disdain.
Well, after standing for so long in the cold, anybody would be unhappy too.
She didn't expect Lin Qiang to make such an arrangement.
'Yuzhen, happy now?'
Lin Qiang was full of smiles, but his words sounded strange to her.
It was as if Lin Yuzhen was the one who forced him to do all this, and they had no choice but to obey.
Lin Yuzhen's face started to redden and she felt trapped but didn't know how to explain herself.
There was no point in explaining right?
The look in those employees eyes looked like they were about to kill her!
"I guess I'm quite happy."
Jiang Ning on the other hand, nodded his head and looked at Lin Qiang and calmly said, "You've done pretty well."
These words made Lin Qiang's eyes start shooting flames out instantly!
What did Jiang Ning mean by that!
As if he was praising a dog!
He wanted to say more but Jiang Ning ignored him and brought Lin Yuzhen into the office.
"Who does he think he is, he thinks he's really something huh!"
"So arrogant, not wonder Lin Yuzhen is also so arrogant. Isn't he just someone who married into the family?"
"I heard he was homeless and has mental illness. This Lin Yuzhen has some strong taste in men!”
All the employees started whispering among themselves.
And got even angrier.
Initially they didn't believe that Lin Yuzhen was really someone like that, since many of them had worked with her.
But now Lin Yuzhen's useless husband was equally arrogant and even dared to mock Lin Qiang, so surely Lin Yuzhen was even more unreasonable, right?
Looks like she was acting all along.
What a hypocrite!
Lin Yuzhen started tearing up. She wasn't deaf. The voices weren't loud but they still made it to her ears.
She felt that this wasn't fair to her, because she hadn't done any of these things.
"Don't worry about what others think," Jiang Ning spoke gently. "It's the people who aren't as good as you who will try all means and ways to destroy you, get it?"
Lin Yuzhen looked at Jiang Ning stunned, then she nodded.
Lin Qiang had arranged a new office space for her. She had it all to herself, bigger and more luxurious than her previous office.
This made the other employees even unhappier.
Lin Yuzhen wanted to refuse this new office, but Jiang Ning just opened the door and walked in without a care.
To him, it was sad that his wife had to use such an office.
"Dad, I think the entire company hates Lin Yuzhen now."
Lin Feng was overjoyed thinking about this. "And that lunatic!"
Lin Qiang smiled coldly. He had plenty of ways to deal with people like that. This was merely a tiny Lin Yuzhen, he didn't even need to think too hard.
"Is CEO Huang here yet?"
"He should be reaching soon."
Lin Qiang nodded. "Later we're going to expose Lin Yuzhen's true colors. Do you think that crazy Jiang Ning will go crazy and beat CEO Huang to death when he knows his wife has already been sullied by CEO Huang?"
There was a gleeful look on both father and son's faces.
