Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 103 - 101: Winner in Life?

Tang En’en, upon hearing she could leave, sprang to her feet in astonishment and asked, "Really?"

"Of course, let’s go. It’s all settled," the chief said, his tone now much more polite as he understood these two girls were not to be trifled with.

Tang En’en had been worrying about not getting home yet, thinking that her parents must be anxious. Seizing Jiayi’s hand, she hurried towards the exit.

After a few steps, Jiayi remembered something and turned back, "Chief, about the compensation..."

The chief waved his hand dismissively, "Don’t worry, the other party isn’t pursuing it anymore; they just said it was all a misunderstanding, and there is no need for compensation."

This was like a huge pie falling from heaven, completely bewildering them both.

Wasn’t the other party still acting all high and mighty before, clamoring for fifty thousand in medical expenses, plus compensation for mental anguish and lost wages, threatening to sue them otherwise?

How come it suddenly became a non-issue?

Jiayi didn’t ask any further. After all, a police station is not a place one prefers to linger. Since the matter was settled, it was best to leave quickly with Tang En’en.

Upon leaving the police station, they hailed a taxi and headed straight for Tang En’en’s home.

When they reached the Tang household, Tang En’en told her parents she was late because of overtime, and then she introduced Jiayi, mentioning that she would stay for a few days.

The Tang family lived in the Southern District.

The family of three was residing in an old staff dormitory with two bedrooms and one living room, Tang’s father and mother in one room, and with Jiayi’s arrival, she would share a room with Tang En’en.

Tang En’en simply told her parents that Jiayi was going through a breakup, was feeling down, and as she was from out of town, she brought her over to stay for a few days.

Tang’s father and mother were very kind. Knowing Jiayi was their daughter’s colleague and close friend, and that she had not been eating or sleeping well for several days, they went to the market the next day to buy lots of groceries and cooked a sumptuous meal.

On their first night staying with the Tang family, Jiayi and Tang En’en slept in the same bed.

Still excited from the police station incident, they were devoid of sleepiness; wrapped in a blanket, they chatted for most of the night.

Jiayi told Tang En’en everything, from mysteriously falling down the side of a hunting ground, to losing her memory, being brought back by that man in confusion, to pretending to be his girlfriend... She told her everything from beginning to end.

The emotions that had accumulated in her heart for a long time finally poured out, and she felt much more comfortable.

Tang En’en was speechless for a long time, having sensed the mystery in Jiayi’s behavior, but she hadn’t imagined such a story behind it.

She couldn’t blame her for not sharing; if it were her, she probably wouldn’t know how to start either.

It turned out that Mu Qingran had come back to entangle the CEO, even appearing to be pregnant. Tang En’en couldn’t help but take a deep breath, and after a while, she said with confidence, "No problem, if you can’t find your family, you can think of my parents as your own and me as your sister. If you don’t want to see that man for the time being, just stay at my place."

Jiayi expressed her sincere gratitude, "Thank you, En’en."

"However," Tang En’en added with some concern, "if you just leave like this, the CEO will definitely look for you."

Considering the Huo Family’s position in G City, finding her would be a piece of cake.

Jiayi fell silent.

Seeing the look on her face, Tang En’en sighed, "Jiayi, even though you can stay here as long as you like, if you truly love him, take some time to calm down and then go back to resolve things with him. I believe... he must be so anxious, wanting you to return."

Love?

The word had burst from Tang En’en’s mouth like a spark, scorching Jiayi for a moment.

She had relied on him out of necessity, then gradually it had become habit, and now, it seemed she was no longer pretending, willing to stay by his side.

That man, like an emperor, looked sideways at all life from his kingdom in the business world, certainly capable of making a woman slowly sink.

But if she was just one among the many women by his side, then, no matter how deeply she sank, she would try hard to extricate herself.

Because she didn’t want to become insignificant and pitiful.

"En’en, you’re taking it too seriously. No one in this world can’t live without someone else. I won’t die without him, and without me, he surely won’t be affected in the slightest," she said with a forced smile.

Tang En’en laughed, shaking her head, "Don’t underestimate yourself. You don’t know how many women at the company are envious of you. The president has been so low-key with his emotions over the years that he’s almost suspected of being gay; he’s never publicly acknowledged a girlfriend. Even the engagement with Mu Qingran years ago was done in secret, virtually unknown to most. At this anniversary celebration, the president acknowledged your relationship in front of so many people, even getting engaged to you. Do you know? In the eyes of those women at the company, you are simply the winner in life. How can you possibly have no impact on the president’s heart?"

Winner in life?

Jiayi’s lips curled with a trace of bitterness that was nearly imperceptible, "What if his engagement to me is for an ulterior motive?"

"Ulterior motive?" Tang En’en suddenly sat up with a start.

Jiayi took a deep breath, her eyes suddenly a bit misty, her voice also a bit wistful, "He has always wanted to gain control of the Huo Family’s power and the shares in the old man’s hands, but the old man wants to wait until he settles down before confidently handing them over to him."

"Are you saying the president got engaged to you in order to gain control of the entire group?" Tang En’en was agape.

Jiayi’s lips moved, neither confirming nor denying.

That man’s heart was too deep, and his temperament too cold and merciless; what couldn’t he do?

If that was the case, and the president was using Jiayi, then even if Tang En’en wanted to advocate for reconciliation, she couldn’t, so she fell silent for a long time and changed the subject.

If Tang En’en didn’t have to work the next day, the two of them would have talked all night.

It was past two in the morning when their voices finally began to fade. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

After Jiayi moved into the Tang Family’s home, Tang En’en took the next day off and started working.

Having lived there for a few days, Jiayi and Tang’s father had already grown very close.

That afternoon at five o’clock, as Jiayi figured Tang En’en would be getting off work soon, she sweetly said goodbye to Tang’s mother, "Auntie, I’ll go buy some groceries and cook some of En’en’s favorites."

Tang’s mother really liked this girl, and seeing her take the initiative to buy groceries, she shook her head affectionately, "You’re a guest, and a good friend of our En’en, how can we let you spend money on groceries."

"I’ll be depending on Auntie to cook later, so it’s only right that I handle the shopping," Jiayi said sweetly, not wanting to freeload at Tang En’en’s house.

Tang’s mother could only laugh helplessly, "Okay, when you go downstairs, turn left, there’s a slope; go straight down for fifty meters, and you’ll see the market." She carefully handed her a large tote bag for convenience.

Jiayi nodded, accepting the tote, and headed out first.

At the market, she shopped while picking up groceries.

Tang En’en was a carnivore, so she bought a cooked chicken, and had the seller chop it up and wrap it, along with several bags of tomatoes, cabbage, cucumbers, and eggs. Only when the bag was packed full and almost too heavy to carry did she decide to head back home.
