Chapter 20

Parsed with an automated reader. The content accuracy is not guranteed.

Although Su Wen has always threatened her in the past, she was all bark and no bite. Today, she actually moved against her.

Shu Yian looked at the tree-lined path in front of her, not a single person in sight to help her. She felt a bit regretful.

If she knew that this would happen earlier, it would have been better to let Su Wen understand that she likes her. At least, the woman wouldn’t be so angry as to abandon her in the middle of nowhere. Instead, she said she had fallen in love with her childhood friend. Now look, not only does Su Wen continue to insult her in her heart, but she also maliciously abandoned her.

Speaking of, if Su Wen really becomes interested in Yan Ruxue, what will the true protagonist do then?

Wait, could the protagonist be Yan Ruxue?

Could it be that her job is to let Su Wen discover her deeply buried love for Yan Ruxue?

No, that didn’t seem right. The system clearly said that the protagonist was missing.

But if the protagonist disappeared once, she could only return….

Shu Yian cradled her head in her hands. What a mess. It’s still unclear who the missing protagonist is. She was getting a headache.

Meanwhile…

It stands to reason that after venting her anger out on Shu Yian, Su Wen would calm down. However, every time the driver glanced in the rearview, her face kept getting uglier and uglier. So much so that he almost drove off the road in fright.

Su Wen kept glancing at her phone.

No missed calls or messages.

This woman.

Su Wen chuckled coldly.

This woman can’t even call a car over at this point but she’s still stubborn enough that she won’t even give me a call.

The driver found his courage and piped up, his voice breaking the silence, “President Su, are we really not going to help Miss Shu?”

“No!”

“Alright.” The driver kept his silence after getting his answer.

Since we are no longer concerning ourselves with Miss Shu, shouldn’t you be happy? Why are you so angry instead?

After a long while, Su Wen took the initiative to speak, “Today’s agenda is empty.”

The driver had no idea what she meant by suddenly saying this sentence so he could only agree with her: “Indeed, President Su!”

“After you drop me off at the company, do you have any other plans?”

What plans could he have? Isn’t his schedule at the whim of whatever Su Wen says?

President Su has always been a person who only speaks for the sake of efficiency. If she doesn’t need to speak, then she doesn’t open her mouth. Even if she does, it often is only a sentence or two. If she can keep it as simple as possible, then she does so. So he really doesn’t understand why she was saying such nonsense things today.

Unless…could it be?

A thought flashed in his mind. Although he didn’t dare to believe it, he still asked tentatively, “HOw about I go and pick up Miss Shu later?”

Su Wen coldly replied, “That’s up to you!”

She said it was up to him, not that he couldn’t go. This confirmed his guess.

Hah, what’s the use of all this? President Su was so arrogant just now, like a victor who had conquered the city and plundered its riches. But now….she was simply handing over her conquered city to the other party.

The money is lost, the people are annoyed, and in the end, nothing is really achieved.

The driver couldn’t help but speak up, “President Su, in my opinion, Miss Shu’s personality has changed. So if you really care about her, I think you should try to get along with her…”

Although he didn’t have much say as a part-time driver, he was quite familiar with Su Wen’s personality. This person has a sharp tongue but a tofu heart. Her words are unpleasant to the ear, but her heart is still soft and it was because of that soft heart that he dared to speak.

Su Wen didn’t speak as she seriously pondered over the matter.

She cares about Shu Yian?

The driver was thinking too much!

How could she possibly care about someone like her? She doesn’t have a single good trait, her personality is bad, and she’s constantly undermining her authority. Such a person, it’s already good enough that she doesn’t throw her out of the house, why would she care about her?

It’s not that she cares for Shu Yian, it’s more like the woman still has some use!

So what if Shu Yian likes Yan Ruxue? Yan Ruxue doesn’t like her back!

When the time comes, when Yan Ruxue has given up on her and her grandma gets better, she will find a suitable reason to terminate her contract with Shu Yian.

As for right now, although the other person may be annoying, she couldn’t make their relationship too stiff. Otherwise, if Shu Yian doesn’t cooperate, all her efforts at shrugging off Yan Ruxue would’ve been for naught.

Su Wne lowered her eyes and looked at the people rushing to work outside. It is rush hour and the streets are full of traffic, the people on the sidewalk rubbing shoulders with each other as everyone busily hurried off to work.

She suddenly thought of the image of Shu Yian’s lonely and desolate back that she had seen that morning.

So, she isn’t happy either….

Bah! Why does she care if she’s happy or not? It has nothing to do with her!

Su Wen closed her eyes, planning to take a quick nap in the car. Don’t think about anything.

She emptied her mind and focused on the documents and contracts piled on her desk at work.

After the driver dropped off Su Wen at the company, he returned to the villa to pick up Shu Yian. The journey took half an hour one way and when he arrived, he did not see Shu Yian.

He called President Su, “President Su, Miss Shu…she is…”

“She’s here with me!” Su Wen looked incredulously at SHu Yian who stood in front of her as if nothing was wrong. She hung up the phone with a complicated mood.

The driver stood dumbfoundedly in place.

Su Wen was also dumbfounded and so she asked, “Who did you trick into giving you a ride this time?”

She had originally wanted to say something nicer, but then the words just came out of her mouth. Su Wen froze and then cursed herself inwardly.

【When have you become so incomptenent?!】

So she decided to not speak again.

Shu Yian answered truthfully, “A kind neighbor. She happened to bump into me as she got out of the house and then gave me a ride out of the neighborhood. Then I took a taxi the rest of the way here.”

She didn’t have to explain everything, but since Su Wen was already angry with her and she didn’t want to ruin their relationship just yet, she patiently described everything.

“En.” Su Wen responded coldly.

Shu Yian was about to return to her work, when she was suddenly handed a small handheld mirror.

Shu Yian looked at the mirror in confusion, “What do you mean by this?”

Su Wen pointed to her face and then smiled without saying a word.

【Take a look at your reflection?】

【Do you really think Yan Ruxue will like you with a face like that?】

Shu Yian opened the handheld mirror and felt disgruntled at Su Wen’s insults, “I already took a look at my reflection earlier. My beauty captivates even the birds and beasts, brighter than the moon and even putting the flowers to shame. Ah, why am I so good looking?”

Su Wen: 【You’re so ugly that you have no shame!】

“Shu Yian, I am telling you,” Su Wen looked at her seriously, “I will never allow you and Yan Ruxue to happen. If you pursue her now, it will ruin my plans!”

After she finished speaking, she didn’t bother to give Shu Yian another glance, and immediately got back to her work.

Shu Yian snapped the mirror shut and placed it on her desk, “Will you have less complaints about me if I stop chasing her?”

“En!” Su Wen nodded, but then immediately looked up, “When have I ever complained about you?”

Shu Yian gave her a look that said “you know the answer clearly in your heart”.

Her smile didn’t reach her eyes, “En, you definitely haven’t openly complained!”

Su Wen: “…..”

【This woman couldn’t have… 】

【Entered my heart and can now hear my thoughts?】

【How is that possible? 】

【No, impossible!】

【She must be trying to trick me! She’s lying again! There’s just no way! 】

She glanced at Shu Yian again and then changed the subject, “So you’re agreeing?”

“En, I agree!” Shu Yian couldn’t stand Su Wen’s annoying temper. When she said she liked Yan Ruxue, the troubles were endless. She had originally thought that pulling Yan Ruxue out as a shield would make Su Wen complain less about how ‘this woman is obsessed with me’. In the end, she ended up worse off than from where she started and Su Wen continued to torture her in a new ways.

So Shu Yian felt that it was time to change her strategy.

She thought about her bad image in Su Wen’s heart. She then gave an appropriate excuse, “When I saw Yan Ruxue yesterday, I was shocked by her beauty and so I fell in love with her at first sight. However, that mirror you gave me just now made me realize that my beauty is not worse than hers! Suddenly, my heart no longer beats for her! That’s why I agree!”

Su Wen: “…..”

【I have never met such a shameless person. 】

【But…this is fine…】

It felt as if the rocks in her heart had disappeared.

Su Wen lowered her head, hiding the joy on her face from Shu Yian.
