Jiang Lili would never lose her temper in front of Young Master Jiang, but in front of Cheng Jian, she’s like a queen.
"I can’t believe how stupid you are. Sothing so simple, and you can’t even do it right."
"I really don’t understand why I was interested in a fool like you in the first place."
"I thought at least you were a graduate from a prestigious school and look decent. I planned to support you a bit, and yet you..."
Jiang Lili couldn’t believe she had boasted about him, only for this guy to pull such a stunt. "I don’t want to see you for a while."
"Lili..." Cheng Jian was still trying to calm her down, but this young miss’s temper flared up.
There was nothing he could do but stop looking for Jiang Lili, as he had more pressing matters to deal with.
Zhang Yu finished delivering the files and went ho to change the keys. The landlady saw her and said, "Little Yu, did you lose your keys?"
"Auntie, I broke up with my boyfriend."
"I worry he might co to my house." Zhang Yu briefly explained about her breakup with Cheng Jian, and didn’t hide the fact he cheated.
The landlord couple was surprised by this revelation, but thinking back, it wasn’t too unexpected.
"You did ntion you were college sweethearts and couldn’t be open at work, but why couldn’t you live together?" The landlady had always found it strange.
But seeing the girl always blush when talking about her boyfriend, she didn’t pry further.
The landlady hesitated a bit, "Yesterday, which was the weekend, he ca looking for you briefly. I happened to be going out to buy sothing and saw him get into a BMW."
"The driver was a woman, and once he got in, they started kissing." Since Zhang Yu already knew, the landlady thought it was fine to tell her.
See, quite a few people knew about Cheng Jian’s infidelity, including the landlord couple who occasionally saw them.
"Yes, her family is quite powerful," Zhang Yu said calmly. "Actually, I don’t have to cling to him."
"If he had just told he didn’t love anymore and wanted to break up, I’d be sad, but I wouldn’t hold onto him."
"But as it turned out..." Thinking about the original owner’s situation, it was truly a tragic tale.
"Oh, right, if he cos back, don’t let him in," Zhang Yu knew Cheng Jian wouldn’t give up easily.
The landlady and her husband acknowledged, "Knowing his true face, we won’t let him in again."
"Once it’s over, it’s over. Zhang Yu said the other family is a bit powerful and wouldn’t be happy to see him co looking for her again, so the landlords knew what to do.
"Thank you." Zhang Yu stayed here not only for the proximity to work but also because the landlord couple was genuinely kind.
After changing the lock, Zhang Yu left directly. For lunch, she ate a bowl of rice with toppings.
Ye Zhuo said it could be reimbursed, but she thought better of it, realizing she hadn’t contributed much.
Just as Zhang Yu left the office, she saw Cheng Jian rush out, "You’re finally back."
Zhang Yu was taken aback by Cheng Jian’s disheveled appearance. Just this morning, he was all smiles, and now he looked so worn out.
Was his dejection really just because he didn’t get the promotion?
If so, his ntal resilience is concerning.
"What’s wrong?" Zhang Yu looked puzzled. He can act, and so can she.
"Didn’t you know? You didn’t finish the proposal, and my promotion is ruined."
"Ruined." Jiang Lili still hadn’t replied to his ssages, making Cheng Jian even more anxious.
"So what if it’s ruined, that’s your problem." Zhang Yu laughed, "What does your promotion have to do with ?"
"Let think, your promotion would an my layoff, right?"
"So what am I excited about?" Zhang Yu sneered, "Congratulations, by the way. Why are you looking for ? Did you ask to write the proposal?"
"You can’t possibly expect to write your promotion proposal." Zhang Yu clicked her tongue a few tis, "Honestly, I’ve never seen soone so shaless." Zhang Yu shook off his hand.
"Stay away from , you’re dirty." Zhang Yu didn’t give Cheng Jian a pleasant look, "Don’t you know about avoiding suspicion? Aren’t you worried Jiang Lili will see us?"
Cheng Jian was impatient, "Why are you so petty? I’ve already told you, she and I have nothing going on."
If not for hoping she’d be of help in the future, they would have broken up long ago.
"Nothing? You went out with her over the weekend. You ca to my place to get the proposal, glanced at the first few pages, and then left. Jiang Lili was driving a BMW." Thanks to the landlady’s good mory, Zhang Yu reported the license plate.
"Once inside the car, you were making out with her." Zhang Yu ntioned Cheng Jian’s gaudy outfit that day.
Cheng Jian was truly shocked. Jiang Lili was looking at a new car that day, and she didn’t see them co to the company.
Moreover, he was wearing new clothes to celebrate his upcoming promotion, "How did you know?"
"You, you didn’t fall asleep that day."
"You were setting up." Cheng Jian was about to collapse, "You planned against ."
"I set you up?" Zhang Yu laughed, "You told the company doesn’t support office romance and to keep a low profile."
"You were preparing for a breakup, so you could be with Jiang Lili, right?"
"If you’d told earlier that you wanted to be with Jiang Lili for your future, I’d be heartbroken, sure. But we’re adults; it’s not like I’d refuse to break up."
"But you didn’t say a word and let foolishly write the proposal for you?"
"You didn’t think that deleting the proposal from my computer ant I had no evidence, did you?"
Zhang Yu was grateful that the original owner was cautious and had saved the docunt on a USB drive.
"You..." Cheng Jian was stunned, "You dare, who’d believe you?"
"Sure, I’m just a small figure, opposing you, opposing the Jiang family behind you, it’s hard."
"But did you forget who my departnt head is?" Zhang Yu imdiately brought up Ye Zhuo.
Hmph, she didn’t believe Cheng Jian wouldn’t be scared; he was just a coward.
Ah, Cheng Jian didn’t expect Zhang Yu to ntion Ye Zhuo, "Would you really dare to go to him?"
"You aren’t much bolder." He might be a coward, but did it an Zhang Yu was braver than him?
"You can try. President Ye is my boss, I can definitely bring it up." Zhang Yu wore an expectant expression.
Cheng Jian really didn’t dare to try. The Jiang family was already displeased with him, and Jiang Lili was too. If this got out, he might get fired, and Jiang Lili would break up with him too.
With a snort, "Fine, you’re ruthless, we’re breaking up."
"No problem, breaking up." Zhang Yu agreed that on this point, they were unified.
"Don’t regret it." Cheng Jian said, self-importantly.
