Chapter 2070: Chapter 2069: So Many Witnesses
“Remember, from now on, you must not mention a single word about this to anyone. If I hear even half a word, don’t call me your aunt anymore.”
Jing Xiaocha’s cold and stern words made Zhang Minghui’s pupils contract slightly.
He dared not disobey and nodded, “Aunt, I’ve remembered.”
“Continue eating.”
Jing Xiaocha had lost her appetite, and after saying this, she put down her chopsticks and picked up the glass of water in front of her to drink.
Zhang Minghui carefully looked at her, “Aunt, aren’t you eating?”
“You go ahead, I don’t feel like eating anymore.”
Jing Xiaocha responded calmly.
Zhang Minghui also realized that his words had affected his aunt’s mood, causing her to lose her appetite.
He put down his chopsticks as well, feeling wronged, “If Aunt isn’t eating, then I won’t eat either.”
“You haven’t eaten enough. Hurry up and eat your food.”
Jing Xiaocha frowned irritably.
Thinking of the expression on Wen Jin’s face when Zhang Minghui had spoken those words, her heart ached fiercely once again.
Zhang Minghui saw that Jing Xiaocha looked upset. After being told, he obediently picked up his chopsticks and continued eating.
Jing Xiaocha sat there holding her cup, lost in thought.
It was only when Zhang Minghui called her again that she came back to her senses, “Are you full?”
Zhang Minghui immediately flashed a smile, even patting his stomach, “Aunt, I’m full.”
Jing Xiaocha forced a smile.
As they walked out of the restaurant, Uncle Wang stepped out of a car parked by the roadside.
Just like Wen Jin had said, by the time they finished eating, he was indeed there.
Jing Xiaocha and Zhang Minghui got into the car and asked Uncle Wang to drive directly to the school.
On the way home, Jing Xiaocha received a call from Jin Yunchang, asking her to go to the film company.
Uncle Wang insisted on dropping her off at the film company and even asked if she wanted him to wait for her, but Jing Xiaocha quickly refused, “Uncle Wang, no need to wait for me, you can go back first.”
“Alright.”
Uncle Wang responded and drove away.
Just a few steps from the entrance, a sharp and mocking voice rang out behind her, “Oh, who’s your sugar daddy? You’ve even got a personal driver now.”
Jing Xiaocha turned to look and saw Jin Fengjiao and Zheng Shirui walking toward her.
The faces of both women were filled with ridicule and sarcastic smiles, with identical malice in their eyes.
Jing Xiaocha wasn’t sure if she should feel honored or unlucky to be resented by these two women.
It seemed like she would always be hated by them.
She was just an ordinary young woman.
She really didn’t want to be remembered by these two high-and-mighty ladies, so she just glanced at them and turned away.
Entering the revolving door of the company, the two women followed her inside.
Their anger and humiliation apparent because of her indifference, “Jing Xiaocha, are you keeping silent because we hit the mark?”
Jing Xiaocha rolled her eyes and turned her head to give them a bright smile, “Are you jealous of me?”
“Haha, jealous of you? Us jealous of you having a sugar daddy? That’s the funniest joke ever.”
Jin Fengjiao laughed wantonly, turning to look at Zheng Shirui.
Zheng Shirui looked at her with disdain, “What do you have that’s worth us being jealous of?”
Jing Xiaocha wasn’t angry, maintaining a cheerful smile even in her eyes, “Not even an old man is willing to sponsor you, so you’re jealous. I can taste the bitterness in your words.”
“You… you’re so shameless to be proud of having a sugar daddy.”
Jin Fengjiao cursed angrily.
Zheng Shirui looked around and loudly said, “Everyone, come listen. Jing Xiaocha admits to having a sugar daddy. Such a shameless woman, come and see.”
Jing Xiaocha sneered, seeing the people nearby gathering around.
Zheng Shirui smugly eyed Jing Xiaocha, “Jing Xiaocha, confess it again in front of everyone, and prove you’re not afraid to own up.”
“Miss Zheng, I think you misunderstood. I only said that even old men aren’t interested in sponsoring someone as superficial as you. I never said I have a sponsor. The person who dropped me off is Uncle Wang, Brother Wen’s driver.”
At this point, Jing Xiaocha turned her gaze to Jin Fengjiao and earnestly said, “Miss Jin, I know you’ve always liked Brother Wen. But feelings can’t be forced; Brother Wen isn’t interested in your type, and I can’t help you.”
“So that’s how it is…”
“So they were spreading rumors about Xiaocha out of jealousy.”
“I heard Miss Jin repeatedly approached President Wen of Wen’s Pharmaceutical Factory before, but was consistently rejected.”
Listening to the whispered discussions around, Jin Fengjiao’s previously beautiful face turned an array of colors—pale, red, and flushed—as she glared at Jing Xiaocha, her eyes seemingly about to shoot fire.
If not for the crowded lobby, with Jin Fengjiao’s personality, she would have certainly lashed out.
Wanting to humiliate Jing Xiaocha, they ended up making themselves the butt of the joke.
Zheng Shirui’s expression wasn’t any better than Jin Fengjiao’s.
This damned girl Jing Xiaocha actually dared to call her a decorative object.
“Jing Xiaocha, don’t forget, I’m supposed to play the lead in your script.”
Zheng Shirui gritted her teeth in warning.
“I trust President Jin’s taste isn’t that poor, and he wouldn’t mess with his own investment. Miss Jin, as the future daughter-in-law of the Jin Family, it’s best to keep your scandals at home. If they spill onto the screen, you’ll be dragging the Jin Family’s reputation down with you.”
“You… how dare you insult me like this…”
Zheng Shirui was so angry she couldn’t even form words.
Jing Xiaocha’s gaze swept over the two of them, her tone lighthearted, “Ladies, if you’re done having your fun, I’ll be off. President Jin is waiting for me in his office.”
Having fun?
“Jing Xiaocha, you better wait and see.”
Zheng Shirui’s words, spoken through gritted teeth, were deliberately lowered in volume.
Jin Fengjiao’s gaze was as sharp as a blade, glaring at Jing Xiaocha, pondering how to get back at her.
Jing Xiaocha wasn’t concerned about the hatred in their eyes. After all, she was already resented by them, and it wasn’t going to disappear.
“Miss Zheng won’t be repeating the same bullying tricks like last time in the restroom, will she?”
Jing Xiaocha sighed softly, looking helpless, “I can’t afford to provoke Miss Jin and Miss Zheng, but about the last time you bullied me, Brother Wen already knows. I heard he’s even warned you? If anything happens to me again, Brother Wen will surely know it’s your doing.”
“Stop framing us. If something happens to you, what’s that got to do with us?”
Zheng Shirui’s voice rose sharply, as Jin Fengjiao by her side recalled that slap from Wen Jin last time.
“Didn’t Miss Zheng just tell me to wait? Wasn’t that what you meant? Now I’m relieved.”
Jing Xiaocha innocently blinked, glancing at the spectators around, “Besides Brother Wen, there are so many witnesses.”
“…”
“…”
Seeing Jin Fengjiao and Zheng Shirui too angry to speak, Jing Xiaocha then turned and left.
