Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife Chapter 72 Confrontation

Why did she co to Changda?

This question kept circling in Wa Zicong’s mind.

He really didn’t know about her connection with Jas. He used to think she was as pure as a blank sheet of paper.

No, if he hadn’t been the first to act without kindness, she would have forever been the woman silently supporting him from behind. But since he was unkind, how could he expect her to be righteous?

If he was unkind, she had to be unrighteous! That was an inviolable principle!

So, in Wa Zicong’s eyes now, this woman before him, this girl he had dated and thought he knew so well, had beco so utterly unfamiliar.

As for who had beco unfamiliar, Gu Nuan thought, when he had been unkind in the past, did he ever consider that to her, he had beco even more of a stranger than a stranger!

A ringing phone cleverly inserted itself at that mont. Director Cai turned to answer this unexpected call. After all, this call had saved her from a very awkward situation with another person.

Wa Zicong’s gaze swiftly swept across the doorway. When his assistant Xiaoliu saw the look in his eyes, he ran out as if he were flying.

Gu Nuan quietly observed, seeing how afraid his assistant was of him, her ever-so-gentle and refined ex-boyfriend seed even more of a stranger than she had thought.

Whether he had always been like this or whether he had changed after entering society, Gu Nuan didn’t know, nor did she wish to find out. She only knew one thing: she and this man were completely finished, cleanly cut off.

While Director Cai was turned away answering the phone, Wa Zicong suddenly stepped closer to her.

Gu Nuan frowned slightly but didn’t step back out of fear.

"Nuannuan, did you co to Changda to look for a job because you couldn’t find one anywhere else?" he whispered in front of her, trying, as he used to, to grab her hand and write in her palm.

Gu Nuan naturally wouldn’t let him hold her hand.

She quickly dodged his reaching hand, a movent that caught his eye. His gaze flashed with a hint of aningful amusent. He took out his notepad from his pocket and wrote for her to see, "Nuannuan, although we broke up, as the saying goes, if we can’t be husband and wife, we can still be friends. If you’re having trouble finding a job, I can help you—"

"Manager Wu."

"Hmm?"

"All the people here have personally brought over to greet you, do you think I can’t find a job here by myself?"

Wa Zicong quickly looked up at her, "Nuannuan, since Jas has said he wants you, why not co to MN?"

Her ex-boyfriend suddenly extended an olive branch, wanting her to work at his company. All Gu Nuan had to do was consider the intrigue behind this offer to guess what he was up to. On his turf, he would be her senior, and could make things difficult for her at any mont.

No. With a mother like his, how could Gu Nuan be so naive as to believe that they could be friends if they couldn’t be husband and wife?

"If Manager Wu really wants to help , I do have an idea, a ready one. I told them that you and I went to the MN interview together, and that I turned down the opportunity at MN for your sake, paving the way for your present achievents at MN."

While saying this, Gu Nuan had anticipated that he would burst into contemptuous laughter upon hearing her words.

"Nuannuan, are you—telling a joke?" Wa Zicong said, "Back then, our chance to interview at MN was all thanks to a favor from a senior. That senior was in my personal network, soone I had approached. So, MN didn’t want you, they couldn’t have. It pains that you couldn’t hear this, but I can’t hide the harsh truth from you. No company wants to hire a deaf person."

Two words, "deaf person," clearly written on the notepad conveying the ssage to her.

The light in Gu Nuan’s eyes flickered: "Actually, I kept the retention letter MN sent , the emails. My letter of declination should still be saved in Jas’s company email account."

Wa Zicong’s hand uncontrollably fell onto the table next to him.

Apparently hearing the noise, Director Cai turned his head to check on the two of them. Wa Zicong quickly pulled his hand back and looked down to adjust his watch strap.

The watch on his wrist was no longer the cheap one she once gave him with her earnings. It was a genuine, high-end Swiss watch, probably worth tens of thousands.

Given by the daughter of the Lin Family.

In today’s society, not only do won worship gold, but so do n.

When Gu Nuan’s gaze moved away from his wristwatch, she suddenly thought, was the watch on her "fake" husband’s wrist worth millions or tens of millions?

He always swore to her that one day he would take her in front of the Wa family mother and son and show off, crushing them with money.

Childish!

Gu Nuan couldn’t help but want to criticize.

Yet she hadn’t thought before coming here that her "fake" husband could be so wealthy.

She really had struck it lucky!

As Gu Nuan’s thoughts suddenly drifted elsewhere, Wa Zicong, watching her face, caught her distracted expression, paused, and asked keenly: "Nuannuan, are you thinking about—"

"Thinking about what?" Gu Nuan calmly turned and asked.

"..."

"What does Manager Wu think I am thinking?"

Wa Zicong only knew that the expression he had just seen on her face was one he had never seen before, and it made him feel a sudden irritation and unease.

"Nuannuan, do you want to be honest? I can hardly recognize you anymore, you’ve changed, do you know that?"

"Manager Wu, when have I ever changed? I hate lying the most. That’s sothing you should be very clear about, isn’t it, after knowing each other for ten years?"

Wa Zicong was at a loss for words.

Although she was deaf, she had always had a competitive nature, which is why she could compete with normal people in school and not be overshadowed. If not for the limited educational resources of their county high school, with her potential and better teaching support, she might well have been able to get into an even better university.

That’s why, the shock he felt the first ti he saw her at Changda was because, subconsciously, he didn’t want her to co to Changda at all.

Coming to Changda ant she would beco a competitor.

"Nuannuan, like I said, if you want to co to MN—"

"I don’t want to go to MN."

"Alright, then. I can’t speak ill of MN either or say that MN plans to hire a deaf person."

No matter what, he wouldn’t lose face over it, especially in front of the high-ranking officials of a big company like Changda.
