But in the next second, Jiang Nuan snatched the thin piece of paper from her hand, tearing it in half under her mother’s shocked gaze!
Her mother almost went mad: “You ungrateful wretch, have you lost your mind!”
“I’m not for sale.”
Jiang Nuan said, tearing the check into even smaller pieces.
Her mother, unable to stop her, turned red-eyed with rage and slapped Jiang Nuan twice.
Paper scraps fluttered down, her mother’s face contorted.
“What are you so high and mighty about! Who looks down on you? At least I’m not like you, sleeping around for free!”
Her mother picked up her bag and walked out: “You really don’t know what you are, so disgusting!”
Her mother’s words struck Jiang Nuan’s heart harder than the slaps.
As her mother left, the café patrons began to point and whisper at Jiang Nuan.
“Shameless, living is a waste of air.”
“If I were her, I’d have killed myself already, such a disgrace to women…”
Jiang Nuan’s ears started buzzing again, she clenched her fists and walked away step by step.
Back at her apartment, she encountered someone unexpected downstairs.
Lin Chao had switched to rimless glasses, looking scholarly and refined.
But his words had nothing to do with refinement: “Special Assistant Jiang, Fu Yumo has given you to me, won’t you invite me up for a visit?”
Jiang Nuan felt a pang in her heart, but her expression remained unchanged.
“I am my own person, unrelated to Fu Yumo.”
Lin Chao’s heart leaped with joy, his lips curling up: “Then, can I pursue you now? Will you agree?”
Jiang Nuan frowned: “Mr. Lin, what do you like about me? Can I change it?”
Lin Chao was amused by her expression: “Jiang Nuan, I like that you reject me.”
Just then, there was a sudden screeching of brakes behind them.
Jiang Nuan turned to look, her heart skipping a beat.
It was Fu Yumo’s car.
Suddenly, Jiang Nuan felt her wrist being grabbed, and then she was pulled into Lin Chao’s car.
Then, Lin Chao’s car sped out of the complex.
Fu Yumo, expressionless, released the handbrake and floored the accelerator.
It wasn’t until they were on the road that Jiang Nuan came to her senses: “Mr. Lin, what are you doing?”
