Chapter 243: Untitled
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The bar was cleared.
Chu Yichen sat on the high bar stool and asked the bodyguards to restrain the two women. His expression was cold and ruthless.
Bess’ face was squashed hard against the table by the bodyguard. Tears streamed down her face, and her heart pounded. Infatuation was evident in her eyes, however. She had loved this man for five years, but in the end, he treated her like dirt for the sake of another woman.
How heartless.
Gu Na screamed in fear, “Don’t do this to me. I didn’t do anything. Brother Yichen, can you get him to let go of me? You’ve misunderstood. You must have misunderstood.”
Chu Yichen was unmoved. He poured himself a glass of red wine at the bar counter and drank it slowly. His movements were light and slow, and his gaze was cruel. Every move he made was like a thousand cuts in the hearts of the two women.
“You don’t have to tell me, I have patience.” He slowly finished the wine and knocked the glass against the bar top. The intact glass shattered into countless pieces and scattered across the bar and the ground.
He expressionlessly instructed the bodyguard to hold the broken glass as he walked towards the two women.
Gu Na instantly understood what he wanted to do. She called out hoarsely, “Brother Yichen, you can’t do this to me. If you do this to me, auntie will never forgive you. My parents will never forgive you either.”
He wanted to disfigure her. Her appearance was everything to her. It must not be ruined.
Despair filled Bess’ eyes. He actually wanted to go this far. She had been infatuated with his gentleness before, but she did not expect him to have such a cruel side. He wanted to punish them when he didn’t even have any evidence.
“CEO, do you like Li An’an that much?” Bess’ plea was filled with despair. “I’ve been with you for five years. In order to be worthy of you, I tried my best to become more outstanding and to be your capable aid. My hope was to stand by your side openly one day, but you belittled me, alienated me, and trampled on me for a useless woman. This is how you treat everything I’ve done.” Her tone was filled with hatred, heartache, and despair over her five years of hard work.
Chu Yichen’s reply was emotionless. “I told you to know your place. You are only my secretary. There is no ambiguity between us. You are the one who misunderstood your own position. I have given you money for all your hard work, it was not for nothing. You put in the hard work only for your own sake. Don’t put the responsibility on me. I told you long ago that I am not interested in you.”
Bess bit down on her lip hard. She knew what was going on, but it was like a knife slicing through her flesh bit by bit, when he said it out loud.
She couldn’t bring herself to face the fact that all this was her own delusion. “It’s impossible. Before Li An’an came along, I was the one who accompanied you to the banquets. If you weren’t interested in me at all, why would you bring me along?”
Chu Yichen’s voice turned icy. “I told you, you’re my secretary. It’s your job to attend business gatherings with me. I only have you and Li Cheng by my side. If I don’t bring you along, should I bring him along? But if I had known that bringing you to a banquet would get you thinking such thoughts, I’d rather have brought Li Cheng along.”
Bess was crushed. He would rather be subject to gossip and ridicule for bringing Li Cheng along than bring her along. If that was so, all the hard work she had put in all these years was worth nothing.
Li Cheng broke out in cold sweat. He couldn’t imagine what it would be like if the CEO brought him to banquets. It would definitely make earth shattering news. Fortunately, Li An’an appeared and came to his rescue..
