Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 98 - 96: A Cornered Dog Jumps Over the Wall
The nanny, seeing that she was about to leave, hurriedly said, "Miss Jiayi, where are you going? The CEO mentioned that starting today, you would move into this villa. Your luggage has also been brought here from the seaside room you were staying in."
The current Miss Jiayi was no longer the company’s insignificant little sparrow but the fiancée of the group CEO, so of course, she could not possibly live with ordinary employees anymore.
Last night was destined to be a sleepless one for the employees of the company.
The sudden announcement by the CEO of his relationship with Miss Jiayi left many people still unable to recover.
Everyone had guessed that this newcomer, suddenly transferred from a branch to the headquarters, might have an impressive background, but who would have thought she was the Boss’s woman?
Especially for the female staff who still harbored fantasies about the CEO, they probably didn’t sleep well at all last night.
Jiayi said, "It’s okay, I’m just going to talk to a friend."
The nanny couldn’t insist further, "Then, Miss Jiayi, please make it quick and come back soon."
Jiayi stepped out the door, following a pebbled path to the sea-view rooms where the staff lived on the island.
Tang En’en’s room was on the second floor.
Before she could go upstairs, two silhouettes were coming down, walking towards her.
It was Yue Lan and Xue Xiaoying.
Their faces looked terrible, each carrying luggage as if they were about to leave Chongren Island.
Miaomiao was following behind, seemingly there to see them off.
Upon seeing Jiayi, Yue Lan and Xue Xiaoying’s expressions suddenly changed, and then flushed with embarrassment and regret, their feelings complex.
"What happened?" asked Jiayi, puzzled.
Miaomiao glanced at the two and said, "The CEO asked someone to tell Sister Yue and Xiaoying to go back first. He said... seeing the two of them, he lost his mood."
Jiayi understood. Yue Lan and Xue Xiaoying had always been hostile towards her, and Huo Zhenyang must have noticed.
Little did Yue Lan and Xue Xiaoying imagine that the newcomer they had treated with enmity was the CEO’s woman.
The two exchanged glances and could no longer stay. With their heads down, they left in a hurry, looking as dejected as thieves.
Watching Yue Lan and Xue Xiaoying’s hasty retreat, Jiayi paused for a moment, then turned around and prepared to go upstairs.
Looking up, she saw Tang En’en standing at the stair’s turning point for quite some time.
"En’en," she exclaimed with delight and hurried up the stairs.
She wanted to reach out and take Tang En’en’s hand, but Tang En’en’s gaze was distant, as if looking at a stranger.
Jiayi’s heart suddenly felt uneasy as she sensed the distance between them widen, "En’en, I didn’t want to deceive you... I just didn’t know how to start."
She had not anticipated her relationship with that man would progress to this point.
She had always felt that she would eventually leave that man. How could she begin to explain?
After a while, Tang En’en gave a cryptic smile, "Maybe, I should feel fortunate that, without knowing, I treated the CEO’s fiancée well, so I didn’t end up like Yue Lan and Xue Xiaoying."
Tang En’en wasn’t upset about anything else, just angry at being kept in the dark by a friend she genuinely cared for.
To think that being transferred from the branch office to the headquarters, having lunch in the executive dining room... all her lucky breaks were thanks to her friend by her side.
She had thought Jiayi was struggling alone in G City, lonely and in need of care, so she looked out for her in every way, sympathized with her long walk home, shielded her from the company’s gossiping insults, and even... introduced her to boyfriends.
Looking back, she felt quite ridiculous.
Does Jiayi need that?
"En’en, I really didn’t mean to keep it from you," Jiayi’s nose felt sour and astringent, she could empathize with Tang En’en’s feelings at the moment; if she had been kept in the dark by a friend about the most important thing, she would also feel uncomfortable.
"It’s nothing, Jiayi, you should go back. Someone moved your luggage to the villa this morning, that’s where you belong," Tang En’en said indifferently, turning away.
Jiayi realized that Tang En’en was truly angry, and her heart was filled with mixed feelings.
She hadn’t expected to receive her friend’s blessings when she came over today, but she hadn’t expected a cold reception either.
Tang En’en was the first and only close friend she had made since her memory loss; if she didn’t care, why would she have come in person to apologize?
She really didn’t want to lose this friend.
But watching Tang En’en’s retreating figure, Jiayi knew she needed time to process.
After pausing in place for a long while, Jiayi took a deep breath, didn’t press any further, and said softly through the door, "En’en, I’ll come find you again," before turning around and going downstairs.
Feeling very down, Jiayi walked back to the villa sluggishly, the road not too long.
It was close to returning to the villa when she heard a woman’s call from behind: "Jiayi."
The voice was very familiar.
Jiayi quickly composed herself and turned around.
Mu Qingran stood behind her with a slender figure.
"Manager Mu." Her tone was calm.
She had just formally announced her engagement with Huo Zhenyang last night and didn’t believe that Mu Qingran coming to find her would be good news.
Mu Qingran’s infatuation and reluctance towards Huo Zhenyang, she had seen it all. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
That time at Phoenix Villa, she also clearly remembered the harsh words Mu Qingran had said before being driven away.
This woman had stated that Huo Zhenyang was hers and that she would never give up.
What would it be this time?
Crying, begging, threatening, making a scene, rolling on the ground?
"Could I take ten minutes of your time?" Contrary to Jiayi’s expectation, Mu Qingran was quite calm, not as agitated as she had imagined.
Jiayi’s eyelids twitched: "If it’s about my engagement with Huo Zhenyang, Manager Mu, there’s no need to say more."
Seeing her unwilling to elaborate, Mu Qingran became a bit anxious, stepped forward, and blocked her way, "Don’t go."
Jiayi couldn’t help but chuckle lightly: "What, Manager Mu, are you driven to desperation?"
Mu Qingran’s eyes narrowed, and she took out an envelope from her handbag and handed it over: "You should look at this first."
Jiayi took it and pulled out a medical report. The patient’s name was Mu Qingran.
The result noted on the back was stark: Pregnant for four weeks.
It was a formal pregnancy test issued by a top-tier hospital in G City.
Jiayi was stunned for a moment, looked towards Mu Qingran’s still flat belly, and with a twist at the corner of her mouth, couldn’t help but show a trace of mockery, "Haha, congratulations to Manager Mu. But, are you going to tell me like in those melodramatic TV shows, that the child you’re carrying belongs to Huo Zhenyang?"
Mu Qingran knew this girl wouldn’t be easily convinced and slid her delicate finger to point at a piece of data on the pregnancy report, lifting her red lips slightly: "Here, is my conception date; you haven’t forgotten that day, have you? We went to Huo Garden for dinner that day, and we all stayed at the Huo family house. That night, you were drunk, and Zhenyang and I... rekindled the old flame. The timing of pregnancy can’t be faked, the child in my belly is Zhenyang’s."
Jiayi held the pregnancy test, her gaze rested on that piece of data, and without speaking, after a while, she raised her face and chuckled lightly, "If he would have slept with you, he wouldn’t have driven you from Phoenix Villa that time."
