Chapter 281: From h.e.l.l to Heaven

“Zheng Anqi?”

Zheng Anpin couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw the name chosen by Chen Fan.

She was the one who dragged the Zheng family down to the living h.e.l.l by messing with the wrong man. In the end, the Old Man Zheng was dead, and their family a.s.sets were taken away. Countless rich heirs of the Zheng family clan lost their privileges and wealth. Zheng Anqi herself was robbed of her youth and turned into a wizened crone.

Why would Chen Fan choose her after doing so much harm to her?

“You think I hate her?” Chen Fan laughed out loud

What did Zheng Anqi mean to Chen Fan? Nothing. All that Chen Fan had done was punish her for trying to get away with not paying the debt. Chen Fan had nearly forgotten about her if not because of his need of a manager.

“Based on the information I got, she is the best candidate for the job.” Chen Fan flipped through the paper and said.

“Ever since she was kicked out of the Zheng family for what she did, her mother, the royalty from England moved in with one of her lovers. Her father, Zheng Haochang was the one who made the decision to denounce her as his daughter after the harm she had caused to the family. The paper also showed that Zheng Haochang had sired three b.a.s.t.a.r.ds with three different mistresses.”

Chen Fan continued.

“After Zheng Anqi was kicked out of her own family, no other family members were willing to look after her. In the end, she ended up living with one of her BFFs. However, her nightmare had just begun. The so-called BFF invited all of her friends to her house to see the hideous condition Zheng Anqi was in. Zheng Anqi couldn’t stomach the insulst, so she ran out of her BFF’s house and settled in the home of one of her former subordinates.”

The description of Zheng Anqi’s condition sounded horrible, but Chen Fan knew that reality was much worse than that.

Zheng Anqi used to be the princess of the Zheng family, a drop-dead gorgeous of royal heritage. She was spoiled by both her family as well as countless rich suitors. However, one misstep, she had caused the death of her grandpa, ended her family’s fortune and was turned into a hideous looking hag. She quickly fell out of love with her parents, hated by her family members, and being laughed at by her former friends, practically turning herself into a laughing stock of Hong Kong.

Only Chen Fan’s past life could have rivaled what she was going through right now in terms of despair and regret.

Helpless and hapless, Zheng Anqi was at the lowest point of her life.

Her vulnerability would make her easily controlled by Chen Fan. Chen Fan was convinced that if she was given a chance, she would be too afraid of s.c.r.e.w.i.n.g up again and give all she got. With her in control of the Zheng’s Financial Group, even the Zheng family members would think twice before trying funny business.

Only those who had lived in h.e.l.l knew to appreciate heaven.

“She had already turned into a hag, are you really going to choose her?” Zheng Anpin rounded his eyes and asked in surprise.

“hehe, you have no idea what I am capable of.”

Chen Fan closed the folder and cracked a cold smile. His eyes were filled with confidence and pride.

Meanwhile, inside a barricade looking apartment building in the LC district of Hong Kong.

“Zheng Anqi, are you done with that draft yet? Boss Yu and the others need it by tonight.” A woman wearing black-rimmed gla.s.ses and a collared s.h.i.+rt stood by the door and uttered a question coldly.

“Ok, ok, ok…” An old woman with silver hair hurried to nodded her consent.

This old woman was the focal point of the public’s attention, Zheng Anqi. Her hair was as white and dry as old silver and her skin was covered with deep wrinkles. Although her body still retained the shape of a drop-dead gorgeous in her prime, no one would be turned on by her appearance.

Zheng Anqi was wearing a pair of thick gla.s.ses. She lamented her sorry state as she drafted the design drawings on the computer.

She had never thought that it was the skill she had learned during her college in England that had helped her survive during the hardest time in her life. If not because of her proficient drafting skill, her former subordinate would never have accepted her.

“Pay attention to your work! I am not running a charity here. Do you think it’s easy for me to pay for the bills and put food on the table? You just have to draft, it’s not rocket science.” The other young girl in black-rimmed gla.s.ses chided. “You need to understand that you are no longer the heir of the Zheng family any longer. If you don’t like the work here, the door is right over there. I am interested to see who would take you in.”

“Yes.”

The old woman answered as her hand became shaky.

She used to be a scintillating beauty and every outfit she designed could fetch a huge amount of money. However, there and then, she had to work non-stop just to feed herself.

The young girl looked at the obedient Zheng Anqi and felt a euphoria rush through her body.

She used to be one of this old woman’s insignificant a.s.sistants and had to put up with her bad temper and castigation. Even when she accompanied her to banquets, no one had ever noticed her beside the Zheng Anqi’s s.h.i.+ning beauty.

“Why? I am not any less attractive than her, why did no one ever pay attention to me? Is it because she was born into the right family? Am I destined to be her slave?”

For a large part, what drove the young woman to take in Zheng Anqi was revenge.

“din..din…”

The doorbell rang.

“Who is it?” The girl asked annoyingly. She opened the door and saw an ordinary-looking young man. Behind the young man stood the manager of her company.

“Boss Yu, what brings you here?” The girl welcomed them into the room.
