Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement-Chapter 547: The Tyrant CEO’s Wife-Chasing Hell
Xie Mingyu was almost choked with anger by her.
"Wan Tianning, if you hadn’t done such a thing to me, would I have caught you?"
"So, I succeeded?" Wan Tianning asked with a playful grin.
Xie Mingyu’s face darkened, and he gritted his teeth, "Wan Tianning."
"Alright, alright, I’m just kidding. Anyway, I’ve already run away, so there’s no way I’ll be back anytime soon. So, don’t come looking for me, instead, think about how to find Shangxue!"
"Do you know where she went?" Xie Mingyu asked.
Wan Tianning said, "I don’t know, but judging by the speed at which she ran, she probably doesn’t want to see you. Xie Mingyu, do you now realize? You’re not that great. You always boss people around, and now they don’t want to see you and just run away. But anyway, you don’t even like her, so why should it matter to you if she runs?"
"Wan Tianning, just you wait," Xie Mingyu threatened before hanging up.
Holding her phone, Wan Tianning giggled endlessly.
Lan couldn’t help but sweat for her; their Miss Wan was really gutsy, daring to provoke the tiger.
However, Lan dared not say a thing, for she’d surely get into trouble if she did. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
"Aren’t you afraid that Xie Mingyu would be exasperated and not let you off?" Lin Yue finally spoke up.
Wan Tianning scoffed, "What can he do to me? Kill me?"
"He won’t kill you, but blackballing you would be a breeze," Lin Yue replied.
"Does he really have that much power?" Wan Tianning was surprised.
Lin Yue said, "The Xie Family is not an ordinary merchant family, especially Xie Mingyu’s generation, where many are in politics. There aren’t many businessmen among them, and given Xie Mingyu is the youngest and beloved by Old Sir Xie, everyone spoils him. What Jia Baoyu is in ’Dream of the Red Chamber,’ Xie Mingyu is in reality. If you offend him and he wants to ruin you, it’s merely a word from him. He doesn’t even need to lift a finger, someone else will do it for him."
"But my sister saved his life; surely he won’t really do anything to me!" Wan Tianning began to feel scared.
Lin Yue replied, "That’s uncertain. Xie Mingyu doesn’t hold on to old sentiments. It’s said that when he failed to propose to your sister back then, he got angry and conspired with Feng Qianru to set her up, even framing her."
"What? A scumbag! I should’ve poisoned him," Wan Tianning said indignantly upon hearing this.
"So, you better lay low and avoid running into Xie Mingyu for a while. Otherwise, he’ll only get more furious and come after you. Now that he can’t see you, with time he’ll forget. Besides, I think his top priority now is to find Shangxue; you’re secondary to that."
"Where can I hide?" Wan Tianning furrowed her brows.
Lin Yue pondered for a moment and said, "I know a place, your sister’s old hometown. Xie Mingyu surely wouldn’t think to look there. Why don’t we hide there for the time being? You have no work scheduled for this period, so it’s a good opportunity to take a break. How about it?"
"The countryside? I definitely can’t get used to it. I’ve filmed in the countryside before, it’s too harsh," Wan Tianning refused.
Lin Yue said, "Didn’t you always want to know more about your sister? By seeing where she once lived, you’ll naturally understand her better. If she could live there, why can’t you? Give it a try, and if you really can’t adjust, we’ll leave."
"Miss Wan, I think President Lin is right. If you can’t get used to it, Mr. Xie surely wouldn’t either. So, he definitely won’t look for you there," Lan also persuaded.
Wan Tianning glanced at Lin Yue, then at Lan, and finally nodded in agreement, "Fine, I’ll listen to you this time. But let’s be clear, if I can’t adjust, I’m leaving immediately."
"Alright, if you can’t adjust, I’ll send you away immediately," Lin Yue promised.
Only then did Wan Tianning relax and lean back against the pillow to sleep.
She was exhausted, having been woken up by Shangxue early in the morning.
Anyway, there was still time, and with Lin Yue driving, she wasn’t in a hurry and could sleep peacefully.
Since it was a long way to the village where Ye Ningwan lived as a child, they stayed overnight at a hotel on the way.
Wan Tianning booked three rooms, one for each of them.
Lin Yue intended to pay, but Wan Tianning refused.
"Aren’t you bankrupt? How could I use your money?"
Seeing him so leisurely these past two days, always tagging along with them, Wan Tianning assumed Lin Yue was surely bankrupt, which was why he was so idle.
In this situation, she couldn’t bring herself to use his money.
Lin Yue opened his mouth, intending to explain.
Wan Tianning interrupted, "Don’t explain, I know. It doesn’t matter to me if you’re wealthy or not. I’ve lived through both prosperous and penniless times—life’s full of ups and downs, that’s normal. Over the years, I’ve saved quite a bit, so supporting you is not a problem."
Lin Yue chuckled quietly, "Alright, I’ll wait to be supported by you then."
Wan Tianning grinned in triumph.
But soon, she realized that something about what she’d just said seemed off.
What did it mean to be supported by her?
What was he to her?
"Hey, Lin Yue, I don’t mind supporting you, but you have to work for me, do tasks for me, otherwise I won’t support a deadbeat," Wan Tianning declared proudly.
Lin Yue’s eyes darkened, and with a bitter smile, he said, "You’re right, I’m a deadbeat. Without the company, I’m a deadbeat now."
"I didn’t call you a deadbeat," Wan Tianning got anxious and quickly explained, "That’s not what I meant, don’t get me wrong. What I meant is...you have to help me with things, that’s it. I absolutely didn’t mean to insult you, don’t overthink it. Even without the company, you’re better than most people, earn more than most, and are worth more than most."
"Okay, I get it," Lin Yue smiled softly.
Wan Tianning breathed a sigh of relief, finally seeing him smile.
"Get some rest now! Here’s one of my supplementary cards, buy whatever you want. Up to a hundred thousand a month, spend as you wish,"
Wan Tianning handed Lin Yue a card.
Lin Yue didn’t refuse and accepted it.
After escorting Wan Tianning back to her room, Lan quietly reminded her, "Miss Wan, did you really give President Lin a supplementary card? They say that even when a camel starves, it’s still bigger than a horse. Even if President Lin’s company has gone bankrupt, he wouldn’t be so destitute as to need you to support him, right?"
"What do you know?" Wan Tianning said, "Well, I thought so too at first. No matter what, Lin Yue used to be a company boss. Even after going bankrupt, he should be able to manage. Plus, he still has the Lin Group, and the bankrupt company is just an overseas one. But when I called my sister last night and asked her about it, she talked to Zhan Hanjue for me; that’s when I found out Lin Yue’s in really deep trouble this time. Not just bankrupt, it’s more than that. Alina was afraid he’d back out of marriage, so she had him sign a marriage contract. Because he unilaterally backed out, he not only lost Alpha Company’s support but also has to compensate Alina for her losses. Basically, everything from the Lin Group has been used up."
"Wow, that’s really bad? Miss Wan, you must treat President Lin well; he did all this for you," Lan remarked.
Wan Tianning sighed, suddenly feeling like a huge burden had been placed on her head that she couldn’t shake off.
