Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement-Chapter 562: The CEO’s Desperate Pursuit in the Flames of Regret
"Lan, I got selected." As soon as Wan Tianning stepped out, she excitedly hugged Lan to share the good news.
Lan was also stunned. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
"Miss Wan, you got selected? Really, that’s great, that’s great." Lan jumped up with excitement.
"Wan Tianning, did you hook up with some financial backer?" Song Quege came over and questioned Wan Tianning.
Wan Tianning was bewildered by her question: "What financial backer? Do you think I’m like you, getting involved with people everywhere?"
"Wan Tianning, don’t play innocent. I just made a call, and my investor pulled out mysteriously. A new investor came in, and now they replaced me with you. If it wasn’t for the backer behind you, why else would they replace me with you?"
"I seriously don’t understand what you’re saying. I tried out for this role on a whim, and I didn’t expect to get selected. If I had some backer, would I be bothering to compete with you for this role? This is ridiculous. Don’t defame others just because you’re not good enough. Song Quege, you need to learn how to lose gracefully." Wan Tianning sneered sarcastically.
After speaking, she said to Lan, "Lan, let’s go."
Lan nodded and left with Wan Tianning.
Unexpectedly, Song Quege was so infuriated that she reached out and grabbed Wan Tianning’s arm, pulling her back.
She then raised her hand to strike Wan Tianning.
Lan and Song Quege’s assistant were both startled.
If this blow were to land, things would get ugly.
"Are you okay?"
Just as Lan and Song Quege’s assistant were about to intervene, someone moved faster and grabbed Song Quege’s hand, flinging it aside.
Then, they pulled Wan Tianning behind them protectively.
"President Lin? You arrived just in time." Lan exclaimed with delight upon seeing Lin Yue.
Song Quege frowned at Lin Yue and asked suspiciously, "Who are you?"
"I’m Mr. Wan’s driver." Lin Yue replied.
Song Quege was surprised, then scoffed, rolling her eyes: "Acting like a domineering president, and here I thought you were someone significant. Turns out you’re just a driver. Who gave you the nerve to treat me like this?"
"I gave him the nerve, so what?" Wan Tianning stepped out from behind Lin Yue.
Song Quege gritted her teeth in anger: "Wan Tianning, I didn’t expect you to be so promiscuous. Not only currying favor with financial backers but also being ambiguous with a driver."
"Smack!" Lin Yue slapped Song Quege on the face.
Not only was Song Quege dumbfounded, but Wan Tianning and Lan were also shocked.
Song Quege’s assistant hurried forward to ask, "Miss Song, are you alright?"
Song Quege held her face in disbelief, staring at Lin Yue.
She simply couldn’t believe it. Did she get hit?
And she was hit by a driver, and a man at that?
"How dare you hit me?" Song Quege snapped out of it and screamed angrily.
Lin Yue said, "I never said I wouldn’t hit a woman. Just for the things you said, if you dare to repeat them, do you believe I’ll hit you again?"
Song Quege stepped back in fear.
Having been hit once, she naturally knew Lin Yue wasn’t bluffing.
"Wan Tianning, just you wait." Song Quege spat out threats and left, holding her face.
After Song Quege left, Lan immediately admired Lin Yue, giving him a thumbs-up.
"President Lin, you’re amazing. But, how could you bring yourself to hit her? That was Song Quege, she’s so beautiful. How could you hit her?"
"Is she beautiful? Besides Ningning, all other women look the same to me." Lin Yue gazed at Wan Tianning with deep affection.
Lan pressed her lips together and laughed.
Wan Tianning blushed and said, "Let’s leave quickly! I don’t know if there are any cameras here, were we seen just now?"
"No, Song Quege was so arrogant just now, she must have known that no one was around. But we don’t know if there are cameras." Lan said.
Lin Yue said, "Don’t worry, there’s no surveillance. If there was, I wouldn’t dare touch her. I won’t cause you trouble."
"Let’s get in the car and leave first." Wan Tianning said.
The three of them quickly got into the car and left the place.
However, thinking about Lin Yue’s slap, Wan Tianning felt quite relieved in her heart.
"Aren’t you afraid she’ll sue you?" Wan Tianning asked in the car.
Lin Yue said, "I’m not afraid. She’s a celebrity, and I’m just a driver. She got hit by me, how would she dare report me to the police and let others know about it?"
"So President Lin knew she wouldn’t dare do anything, which is why you dared to strike." Lan gave another thumbs-up.
Lin Yue said, "She insulted you, even if she sues me, I’ll still teach her a lesson."
"Lin Yue, most men wouldn’t hit a woman easily." Wan Tianning said.
Lin Yue replied, "I also don’t hit women easily, unless they go too far. Clearly, she crossed the line just now, so not hitting her would let you down."
Wan Tianning pursed her lips.
Lin Yue suddenly thought of something and quickly asked, "Would you be angry with me for hitting her, thinking I’m a violent person?"
"If you hadn’t hit her just now, I would have slapped her myself." Wan Tianning quickly said.
She wasn’t some goody-two-shoes or a saint.
With Song Quege insulting her like that, even if Lin Yue hadn’t acted, she would have hit back herself.
Lin Yue sighed in relief.
"As long as you’re not afraid of me."
"Of course, I’m not afraid of you. Also, let me tell you some good news. I got the role. Song Quege was just humiliated, that’s why she came to pick a fight with me." Wan Tianning said proudly.
Lin Yue smiled and said, "Congratulations, I knew you could do it."
"Of course, who am I? I’m Wan Tianning." Wan Tianning boasted.
But upon returning home, while Lin Yue was parking outside, she said to Lan, "Have Dawei investigate what’s going on, why they suddenly changed investors and chose me instead?"
"Miss Wan, isn’t this a role you earned with your acting skills? Why, do you also feel something’s fishy?" Lan asked, puzzled.
Wan Tianning said, "I’m not stupid. I know I have better acting skills than Song Quege. If Director Li Zhuo could make the decision himself, he’d surely choose me as the lead actress. But things in this industry are not that simple. Suddenly changing investors, it just feels off no matter how you look at it. Quickly check this for me, in case there’s some conspiracy, with someone trying to mess with me secretly. If something happens after I sign the contract, I won’t be able to shake it off."
Lan gave her a thumbs-up: "Miss Wan is smart, I’ll have someone check right away."
"Focus on investigating Xie Mingyu." Wan Tianning reminded.
She’s not afraid of anyone else because Zhan Hanjue is her brother-in-law, but she’s worried that Xie Mingyu might be up to something behind the scenes.
Xie Mingyu is not someone to mess with; even her brother-in-law respects him.
After what happened last time, with Xie Mingyu so angry, she deliberately avoided him for a while. Now, there’s no news from him, he doesn’t call, and he doesn’t bring up marrying her.
Who knows if he’s plotting some underhanded revenge behind the scenes?
