Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 1232 - 1210: Compared to Chu Xinyue, I Hate Two-Faced Women Like You Even More
Too arrogant.
Jiayi felt a surge of emotion but couldn’t refute.
Lan Yurou’s words weren’t without reason.
Flies don’t land on seamless eggs.
If Ya Chen hadn’t proactively taken such good care of Lan Yurou, how would she have had the chance to get close to the Crown Prince?
Seeing Jiayi silent, Lan Yurou’s eyes flashed, and she leaned her slender neck over to whisper softly in Jiayi’s ear:
"I don’t know why Miss Chu cares so much about your sister. As far as I know, you and your sister aren’t even from the same mother, and your previous relationship wasn’t good. Actually, there’s something I’ve always wanted to say, Miss Chu, why not the two of us cooperate? You help me get closer to your brother-in-law. As long as I can replace your sister and become the Crown Princess, I will certainly treat you better than your sister..."
Before the words could fall, a gust of wind rushed in, and Lan Yurou’s left cheek was slapped with a bright red handprint!
The hot pain spread across her exquisitely made-up face!
She took two steps back, staring in shock at Jiayi, whose expression had suddenly changed.
Jiayi coldly scrutinized the woman in front of her.
She’d seen disgusting before but never this disgusting.
What confidence and audacity does this Lan Yurou have to think she could help a vixen kick out her own sister to climb into her brother-in-law’s bed?!
Even if she wanted revenge against Chu Xinyue, she wasn’t about to open the door to thieves and let them into the house!
Judging by Lan Yurou’s look, she seemed to have a thorough understanding of the Chu Family’s situation—
This meant that Lan Yurou was no longer content being a nameless mistress and had begun plotting to ascend.
This time, Lan Yurou asked Ya Chen to endorse her shop, hoping to get closer to her and strike Chu Xinyue!
"Why..." Lan Yurou covered her face, still unwilling, "Don’t you want to take revenge on your sister? We can work together..."
Jiayi found it extremely amusing: "Because compared to Chu Xinyue, I dislike white lotus types like you even more."
Lan Yurou’s face flushed red, she bit her lip to hold back, and with a snort, grabbed her evening handbag and stormed out.
**
The endorsement banquet ended.
The remaining matters were handled by the shop’s staff, assistant, and the temporarily hired banquet host. Jiayi, worn out, returned to the Chu Family.
It was already early morning, and a servant was still waiting at the door.
Seeing the third miss return, the servant approached, saying, "The third miss is back. Was the banquet successful?"
Jiayi casually responded with an ’mm’: "Where’s Dad?"
"He was on a video call with Madam all night and just went to sleep. I can go wake up Sir..."
"No need. Let Dad sleep." Jiayi didn’t want her father to know what happened tonight. Her current expression couldn’t hide her feelings, and Chu Yanhan would likely notice right away, "You can go to sleep now."
The servant acknowledged and returned to the workers’ quarters.
Jiayi changed her shoes at the entryway, went upstairs to her room, took a shower, but still couldn’t calm her mind. She leaned against the headboard, angrily picked up her iPad, and dialed Huo Zhenyang’s video call.
The time in China was almost the same as in S Country, quite late.
Jiayi thought he might be asleep and shortly regretted waking him up so late.
Unexpectedly, the video connected within a second or two.
Seeing her call at this late hour surprised Huo Zhenyang.
Tonight, she had organized an endorsement banquet. He thought she’d be too exhausted to call once she got home.
"What’s wrong? The endorsement event didn’t go well?" He raised an eyebrow after seeing the desolate look on her face.
Once Jiayi saw the familiar face on the screen, she couldn’t hold back any longer and recounted everything that happened at the banquet.
The more she spoke, the more puffed up her little face became, turning bright red.
Finally, she clenched her fist and fiercely pounded the innocent pillow beside her:
"I want to terminate the contract with that Lan Yurou, even if it means paying a penalty!"
Someone on the other end of the call listened thoughtfully to her complaint, saying nothing, his thin lips finally lifting into a meaningful faint smile: "Why terminate the contract?"
Isn’t the answer obvious?
Having her shop use a mistress as the spokesperson, and one who meddles between her sister and brother-in-law, was genuinely unbearable!
Since Lan Yurou was the spokesperson, they’d have to meet frequently. Seeing this vixen all the time, she’d rather blind herself!
Jiayi hugged her iPad: "I know the penalty for termination is high, maybe even involving legal trouble. Don’t worry, I won’t rely on you this time, I’ll shoulder the cost myself, and I certainly won’t use that Lan Yurou again."
Huo Zhenyang raised an eyebrow: "You think I’m worried about the termination fee?"
If terminating the contract would make this little woman comfortable, firing ten Lan Yurous wouldn’t be a big deal.
But that wouldn’t solve any problems.
Jiayi looked at him suspiciously: "Then what do you mean..."
"Do as you normally would. Since you’ve signed the contract and she’s a suitable choice, let her continue the endorsement until it expires. Canceling suddenly now does her no harm and saves her a hefty compensation, impacting your branch’s image and making it hard to find someone to replace her in the short term."
Jiayi bit her lower lip tightly. It was true, but she still felt immensely uncomfortable: "But having such a woman as the spokesperson, I really can’t get over it... Besides, seeing me continue with Lan Yurou would make Xinyue feel bad inside, even if she pretends not to care."
Huo Zhenyang squinted his eyes: "...Instead, letting that actress continue as a spokesperson allows you to constantly know her whereabouts, her private interactions with Ya Chen, understand her every move, isn’t that better?"
This little woman, despite owning several branches, was still so naive and impulsive, not at all tainted by the business world’s shrewdness.
To deal with an enemy, the easiest way is to keep them close.
Perhaps he had been too protective of her.
He had chosen the store’s location, recruited employees.
Even the renovation and arrangement before and after opening were overseen by people he had appointed.
She had always been like a delicate flower in a greenhouse, rather than a calculating businessman in pursuit of power, she was just an artist wanting to design dresses well.
Listening to his words, Jiayi suddenly understood.
Yes, this way she could always monitor Lan Yurou’s behavior, preventing her from seducing her brother-in-law!
She smiled brightly, not sparing the compliment: "You’re such an old fox, so cunning!"
Why did those words sound more like an insult than a compliment?
Huo Zhenyang slightly frowned his prominent brows.
If it weren’t for the screen between them, he would have loved to pick up this little woman and properly punish her.
It was deep into the night, inherently a bit lonely and cold.
