After the incident with Zhou Huiqing, Yang Chen still felt a bit depressed.
When it cos to won, Yang Chen has always been very considerate and maintained a gentlemanly deanor. However, if a woman turns around and uses her gender, her status in society, or public opinion to attack or restrain him, it makes Yang Chen feel repelled instead.
Just like Zhou Huiqing earlier, there was obviously nothing between them, yet she insisted that so mysterious relationship existed with Yang Chen. Although Yang Chen explained it afterward, who knows if others will believe it. Gossip spreads rapidly, and if it gets out, there will likely be many versions.
As a man, Yang Chen doesn't care about these things, but what if Ye Xin finds out? What if Elder Zhou and Zhou Huiqing's father find out?
Things will beco very complicated in that case.
Afternoon.
Wu Qiaoyun ca to see Yang Chen.
When Yang Chen saw Wu Qiaoyun, he got up and went out directly, not staying in the office.
If those guys listened in, who knows what would happen.
In the corner of the corridor, Yang Chen asked, "What's up?"
Wu Qiaoyun didn't look well, her expression was cold as she said, "Have you settled things with Zhou Huiqing?"
Yang Chen broke into a cold sweat, "I have absolutely nothing to do with her, okay!"
But Wu Qiaoyun didn't believe him and snorted coldly, "Now you know it's troubleso! These girls aren't so easy to toy with, and their skills might not be that great, right?"
Yang Chen was on the verge of collapse; he hadn't even held Zhou Huiqing's hand.
"If you really need soone, you can co to . I'm good at it and won't cling," Wu Qiaoyun bit her red lips, her cheeks slightly blushing as she looked at Yang Chen.
"Uh!" Yang Chen felt awkward; Wu Qiaoyun was too forward, and her aura was as tempting as a ripe peach, indeed attracting male hormones.
"Ahem!" Yang Chen coughed to cover up his embarrassnt.
He's seen a lot of things in places like Gavi and Haojiang City, so he can handle himself.
"Qiaoyun, you don't need to do this at all, we're friends. If you have difficulties, I'll surely help you," Yang Chen sighed, looking at Wu Qiaoyun.
He also understood, Wu Qiaoyun must be in so trouble, or she wouldn't be like this.
Wu Qiaoyun looked down and murmured with a sad expression, "I know, you must find unappealing; after all, a woman like isn't that clean."
"It's not what you think," Yang Chen said helplessly.
"With your abilities, you can find soone as beautiful and pure as Yuxin, not soone like ," Wu Qiaoyun lowered her head, appearing very self-conscious.
"Wu Qiaoyun!" Yang Chen was truly helpless and a bit overwheld, "If you have sothing to say, just say it directly; if not, I'll head back!"
Wu Qiaoyun hesitated for a mont, then looked up at Yang Chen and said, "I want freedom, protection, but I can only avoid others' thoughts and invasions by becoming your woman. Even if you don't give a status, just let be your nominal woman, it's okay whether you touch or not; as long as you agree, I'll do anything you ask!"
Yang Chen frowned at Wu Qiaoyun and asked coldly, "Is soone forcing you?"
Wu Qiaoyun lowered her head slightly, her eyes reddened, tears falling, "Do you rember when I appeared at Wu Yihan's birthday party?"
Yang Chen nodded slightly.
"Actually, with my status, I wasn't qualified to attend such a party, after all, I'm just a small university teacher, not even officially employed."
What Wu Qiaoyun said was sothing Yang Chen would naturally think of, but he didn't know how she managed to get in.
"I think you noticed, my last na is also Wu," Wu Qiaoyun said, looking at Yang Chen.
Yang Chen raised his head in surprise, looking at Wu Qiaoyun, sowhat disbelieving.
"That's right!" Wu Qiaoyun smiled self-deprecatingly, "The Wu family in Ancheng, with a 617-year legacy and countless descendants, so have drifted away and are not counted, but those remaining in Ancheng are considered Wu family mbers. Ironically, being born into the Wu family is a dream for most in Ancheng, thinking it ensures a carefree life. But ? From the mont I was born, I was destined to be a tool!"
Yang Chen was a bit shocked by Wu Qiaoyun's background.
"What's even more laughable is, I am now distantly related to the Wu family, perhaps five or six generations apart; yet they still treat like a puppet. From the age of fourteen, I was selected by my family for my looks, sent to school, and university. Once I beca an adult, they trained in social skills and pleasing n to beco a better tool... I hadn't been with a man yet, but I was already familiar with male-female matters. Later, soone in the family wanted to..."
Wu Qiaoyun couldn't continue, tears streaming uncontrollably.
Yang Chen sighed, understanding what Wu Qiaoyun ant without her needing to say more.
The Wu family's relationship with Wu Qiaoyun was so distant, possibly five or six generations apart, yet those living under the sa Wu family sought to exploit Wu Qiaoyun, a true disgrace.
Yang Chen took out a tissue, handing one to Wu Qiaoyun.
"Thank you!" Wu Qiaoyun felt warmth at Yang Chen's gesture.
"Later, to avoid them, I left. Back then, I thought, why should I give my body to them? If they want it, no way! So, I dated in college, at least I experienced love! No matter what happens, my fate was already decided, so I let myself go."
"But the longer ti passed, the more terrified I beca. Until a week ago, when Master Hu from the Wu family designated to serve one of his clients, I..." tears glistened in Wu Qiaoyun's eyes as she looked at Yang Chen, "You don't understand the atmosphere in Ancheng, if I go, I'll beco that person's mistress, trapped in a cage for life. I don't want this! I don't want to be a tool, a slave!"
Yang Chen listened, his heart filled with emotions.
He thought such things wouldn't happen in modern society, yet the people of Ancheng didn't learn well but perfectly mimicked the worst of ancient tis!
"Yang Chen! I'm begging you, I'll do anything as long as you can help !" Wu Qiaoyun clutched her hands nervously, looking at Yang Chen with eyes full of anxiety and fear for the future.
Yang Chen took a deep breath, speaking solemnly, "I can't promise much, but as friends, I can at least fight for your right to pursue happiness!"
Upon hearing this, a look of joy appeared on Wu Qiaoyun's face.
"Thank you!" Wu Qiaoyun hugged Yang Chen tightly.
