Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 158 - 156 How Could He Allow His Treasure to be Pursued by Others?
She brought this on herself! She would never let herself off the hook! Since things had turned out this way, she wanted to make sure that Jiayi got what she deserved before she left!
She wanted to see if Jiayi would still be happy with a few more scars on her face—
Just as the woman’s sharp nails were about to dig into Jiayi’s delicate skin, a figure had already rushed in from outside the dormitory building in the nick of time, grabbing Ye Shiman’s hand and yanking her away, pushing her hard towards the exit, "You fucking want to die?! Dare to touch my woman?"
Ye Shiman was shoved several meters away, crashing heavily to the ground.
Shangguan Yao?
Hadn’t he been sent away by Huo Zhenyang to supervise a construction site in another place? Why had he come back? Jiayi was stunned.
Shangguan Yao was still the same as before, a typical school bully, strutting around with an air of arrogance. He spat, "Scram! If I see you lay a hand on her again, I’ll make sure your Ye family’s crappy little company goes bankrupt immediately!"
Seeing the Shangguan Yao she had always longed for treating her like this, Ye Shiman had already frozen in shock, "Young Master Yao..."
But when the words reached her lips, she didn’t know what to say!
If it had been before, she would have been seen as the good girl in Shangguan Yao’s eyes, doing well academically, loved and favored by teachers, envied by her peers.
But what about now? In Shangguan Yao’s eyes, was she just a thief, a promiscuous woman who slept with the judges to win a competition?
She swallowed her anger, got up, wiped away her tears, and finally glared at Jiayi fiercely.
If looks could kill, Jiayi would be riddled with thousands of cuts!
In the end, she walked away from the dormitory building, her soul seemingly having left her body.
Shangguan Yao dusted off his hands and looked at Jiayi, "You okay?"
If it had been before, Jiayi would have turned and walked away at the sight of him, but today, she felt somewhat grateful to him for having helped her.
If Shangguan Yao hadn’t shown up in time, her face might have been scratched up by Ye Shiman.
Thinking this, Jiayi’s tone softened a bit as she courteously asked, "You’re back at school?"
Huh, she rarely cared about him like this.
Actually noticing that he hadn’t been at school before? That was incredibly rare.
Shangguan Yao suddenly felt as if the sun was shining brighter today. He smiled, his thin lips curving slightly upward, "My daddy’s opening an entertainment city in the south. I was sent to the construction site there to supervise for a while, which is why I took some time off. Just got back, rest for a few days."
As expected. Jiayi looked at him, feeling an inexplicable pity. This pampered playboy probably hadn’t realized the real reason he had been sent to supervise the construction site.
How could Huo Zhenyang allow his beloved to be pursued by another guy from the same school?
And Shangguan Yao’s manner of pursuing her was so high-profile, as if he wanted the whole world to know. Huo Zhenyang would definitely be displeased.
The Shangguan Yao of now looked a bit suntanned, his features thinner, probably having been through quite the ordeal on the construction site.
This pampered young master from the wealthy Shangguan family, the only child who grew up in a honey jar—how could he bear the hardships of a construction site?
In any case, it was because of her that he ended up in such a plight, so Jiayi’s tone was even more gentle, casually showing concern, "Oh, the construction site? That must have been very tough."
Shangguan Yao, excited, almost turned his dark face into a red sun. Something was off. Why was she so warm to him today?
Could it be that after pursuing her for so long, he finally melted her heart?
No, it must be because he hadn’t shown up in front of her for so long that she began to feel uncomfortable, which is when she realized she had feelings for him!
Women, they are all like this, they say one thing and mean another, verbally rejecting but who knows deep down they might desperately want it!
Seizing the opportunity, Shangguan Yao quickly complained to the beauty, "Of course it’s tough. I went there and in less than two weeks I came down with a fever. Later, I got gastroenteritis, vomited everything I ate, and even got wounded by steel bars at the construction site, almost got tetanus. Am I miserable or what..."
Jiayi nodded her head, showing understanding, but if she didn’t interrupt him, she guessed he might even forget this was a girls’ dormitory, "It’s good that you’re back." After saying that, she turned to enter her bedroom. After a few steps, she remembered something, turned her head, "By the way, Shangguan Yao, thank you for today, but I still must make it clear to you, please don’t call me your woman in the future."
Could you casually make such a statement? If that man found out, Shangguan Yao resuming his construction site supervisory duties would be one thing, but she guessed she would also be aggressively handled by that man in bed.
Shangguan Yao scratched the back of his head, wondering if what he had just said was incorrect?
The woman he was pursuing, to be brief—his woman, where was the mistake in that? It was obviously correct.
The door slammed shut, and the girl’s silhouette disappeared.
It was then Shangguan Yao snapped back to reality.
Previously, part of the reason he pursued her was out of a desire to win, to save face because she ignored him, chasing her relentlessly. But now, upon his return to school and seeing her in that moment, his heart stirred. It seemed he really had taken an interest in this girl.
This girl, who was clearly his peer, felt like a sprite from another world.
She didn’t fit into any category of women he’d previously dated or pursued.
——
Back in the bedroom, she shut the door.
Jiayi saw Su Yan sitting on the edge of the bed, still covering her face, fetched a basin of water, soaked a towel, and began to apply it to her.
Ye Shiman had been too rough, Su Yan’s half face was swollen so badly that she could hardly speak.
Jiayi suddenly felt her nose turn sour, "Xiaoyan, I’m sorry, Ye Shiman originally came for me, it was you who took that slap for me..."
Su Yan managed a smile, though it was muffled and unclear because of her swollen face, "If she hadn’t hit me, she would have hit you. If two of us were to be slapped, doesn’t it hurt the same no matter who takes it?"
Jiayi paused for a moment, then a warmth surged up, hugging Su Yan tightly, "That’s right, whether one of us wins an award or takes a hit, it’s the same for both of us."
Sometimes she really was grateful, even though so far, she had heard nothing from her family, her origins still unknown, even the hope of finding them was so faint, but at least she had been blessed with a few good friends and confidantes.
En’en from G City, and now Su Yan and Jiang Pinhao.
They were the light that supported her during her times of weakness and helplessness, making her feel there were still people in this world who cared for her.
After Su Yan applied the wet towel to her face for a while, the swelling subsided a bit, and she could speak more clearly. Suddenly looking towards Jiayi, "By the way, Xiaoyi, you should be more careful when coming and going these days."
Jiayi was taken aback, "Careful?" 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
Su Yan nodded, "Didn’t you see the look Ye Shiman gave you before she left? She looked like she wanted to devour you alive. Now she has nothing left, no future, no reputation, and even her parents are mad at her and won’t let her go home. At this point, what wouldn’t she do? I’m afraid she’ll hurt you again like she did today."
Su Yan, orphaned and brought up in a foster home, had seen through the sentimentality and various faces of the world, much more mature and worldly than Jiayi, and naturally more worried than Jiayi.
