Chapter 975: You’re Fired (1/2)
Jin Liwei refused to give the woman the time of day, leaving his assistant Xu Tian to deal with her. However, Rose Young was persistent and soon caught up with him. He quickly side-stepped to avoid her hands when she reached out and tried to touch him.
”CMO Young!” Xu Tian caught up with them as well. ”Please leave President Jin alone. You are stepping out of the line!”
She ignored Xu Tian as if she didn't hear him at all. Her full attention was on Jin Liwei. ”Are you really married?”
”Yes,” Jin Liwei replied but still didn't look at her. At the same time, he made sure to flash the wedding ring on his finger just to drive his point home.
”Is the slut pregnant? Was that the reason why she made you marry her so soon and so secretly?”
Jin Liwei snapped the moment he heard the woman calling his wife the nasty word. How dare she?! He shot her a vicious glare. ”What did you just call my wife?! I dare you to say that again!”
Rose Young realized what she had just said in her agitation. Her face immediately paled upon seeing Jin Liwei's fury directed at her. ”I…B-big Brother—”
”I'm not your big brother! Never call me that ever again.”
Xu Tian stayed back, deciding that President Jin's firm rejection might do the trick to make Rose Young give up her delusions once and all.
”B-but…please. I've loved you for so long! Longer than that slu—woman. She doesn't deserve a great man like you.”
”And which woman do you think deserves me? You?”
She didn't answer but her silence and the firm look in her eyes were enough to tell him what she thought.
He sneered, his expression turning colder as he spat out cruel words to her. ”You claim to love me, but I don't care about you at all. Do you really think that you're superior to my wife?”
His words stirred her pride. She lifted her chin and made herself look taller, pushing her flat chest out. ”I know that you're only blinded by Iris Long's youth and beauty, that's why you can't see past her obvious shortcomings. I graduated from the same Ivy-league American university and collected similar stellar achievements as you did. Just looking at the quality of the things that I accomplished so far, any reasonable person would agree that I'm superior to Iris Long. She's nothing but a celebrity and a daughter of a fallen family of nobility who used your name and resources to build her own company and reputation.”
He snorted in disdain. ”You think too highly of yourself. Ridiculous.”
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw his bodyguards running towards them. About damn time. He shot Xu Tian a meaningful glance. His assistant immediately understood. Xu Tian stepped in the space between them and blocked her from chasing after Jin Liwei again.
Tears were now flowing down her face, but her straight back and raised chin indicated her refusal to accept his rejection of her feelings.
