The CEO's Woman

The girl in the clinic bed is mobile. There is already no sign of the paleness in her skin that was just visible moments ago.

When Lu Qian enters the room, the girl gave her a lively grin. Her smile extends to her eyes.

"So? Did you see everyone's reaction?" The girl inquired, her eyes twinkling.

"Duh? What do you expect? Of course, they were angry at Jiang Yue for not accepting your apology." Lu Qian shrugged while looking at the girl in front of her.

This lively girl is no other than Jiang Mian.

"I'm going back. I will check if my name is included in the top ten.. You should go back too. Maybe after another three minutes or so." She said before she trots her way out of the room.

When Lu Qian left, Jiang Mian's smiling face falter. It was replaced by an evil grin. Just like she expected, she made it to the top ten.

Although she felt so happy about it, she can't just show how she truly feels. She needs to act as if she really wanted Jiang Yue's forgiveness.

Jiang Mian can't wait to know Jiang Yue's reaction if she will apologize in front of everyone again and offer her plaque. She wanted to see if that Jiang Yue can still ct arrogantly in front of her, an honored student not just in the school but also in the whole country.

She let out another giggle as she gets up and made her way into the bathroom. Jiang Mian is currently in the university's clinic 'resting'.

She looked at herself in the mirror and grab the makeup kit that Lu Qian brought her. Good thing her cousin isn't very smart and easy to fool. Or else, no one would have helped her secretly when she collapsed on the stage.

She grabbed some makeups from the bag and applied it on her face, making sure that she will look as pale as she could be.

Who wouldn't pity a sick girl who is just asking for forgiveness? Hah. She is sure everyone will pity her.

She made sure to put something under her eyes as well to make it look like she is trying to hide some eyebags with her makeup.

After making sure that she is already satisfied with her current sickly appearance, Jiang Mian then went outside the room and told the nurse that she would like to go outside.

The nurse immediately said no but Jiang Mian cried again. This earned the nurse's approval with the condition that she will accompany Jiang Mian.

As they were walking towards the school ground, Jiang Mian did not say anything. She is just looking downwards as if she is truly sad by her sister's reaction.

The nurse felt helpless and pity towards her. Of course, Jiang Mian is not really feeling anything that associates with sadness right now.

In fact, she is trembling with excitement. She is already planning to use this occasion to earn everyone's sympathy. She will show to everyone in live television how pitiful she is and that Jiang Yue is truly heartless.

Jiang Mian is sure that everyone will sympathize a highly intelligent and talented girl like her. That Jiang Yue is only on top of her when it comes to family status and maybe beauty. Aside from that, she is nothing. Not even fit to left her shoes.

She is already thinking of doing all sorts of the act just to earn the crowd's sympathy when she heard Yang Mei's shrill voice shouting at Jiang Yue.

Jiang Mian lowered her head as her lips curled up. Hah. Jiang Yue is doomed to embarrass herself today. Or so she thought.

Jiang Mian moved closer to Jiang Yue, making sure that everyone will see them next to each other. She couldn't help but laugh inwardly while listening to Yang Mei's rant.

"You are nothing like her! Her toes are not even enough for you to touch. She is one of the top students in the country now-"

When she noticed that Yang Mei stopped talking, Jiang Mian immediately lifted her head to look at the current situation.

However, what she saw is a scene that she will never forget all her life. Jiang Mian's eyes widened. It was as if a bucket of cold water was poured into her being. Her brain refused to cooperate, making her forgot how to breathe, unable to speak. Totally stunned.

She was staring straight at the screen. Unable to blink from too much emotion. Jiang Yue's name is still flashing as the crowd became silent.

She saw, Yang Mei and Headmistress Lu paled. Their faces as white as chalk.

"I'm sorry, I didn't hear what you were saying earlier? Can you please repeat it to my unworthy self?" she heard Jiang Yue's voice almost next to her. Mocking, laughing, sneering at them like they were clowns in front of her eyes.

Jiang Mian tried to regain her composure and lowered her head even more. She could not let Jiang Yue see her.

Everyone thought that Jiang Yue will insult Yang Mei but to everyone's surprise, she did the exact opposite.

She laughed elegantly. As if she already expected this to happen. Her laughing face made everyone mesmerized, she looks like a goddess. A goddess mocking someone for their stupidity.

While everyone is having their own thoughts, Jiang Yue stopped laughing and focused her gaze on the screen. She really does not care about Yang Mei or anyone. What she cared about is the name if the top student.

She can't help but let another giggle as she looked at the screen. Her body is trembling from excitement. Is Fu Jin going to be number one?

She always thought that she will end up being the top one. But maybe the gods have another plan.

"You- you cheated!" Her excitement was interrupted by another word of provocation by Yang Mei.

Yang Mei couldn't accept it. How could Jiang Yue become a part of the top ten? She just came from abroad two months before the exam. And to think that she is second. This is unacceptable thing for her.

This time, Jiang Yue glared at Yang Mei. Cheating is a big issue in this country. It could not just ruin her name but also her future business endeavors. How could this woman accuse her of something that might embarrass her family?

"What did you say?" She walked towards Yang Mei at the stage. Her gaze is dark and cold.

"I...I... No, stay away from me." Yang Mei stuttered while looking at Jiang Yue's murderous expression. She never thought that Jiang Yue's cold gaze will affect her this way. She took another step backward as Jiang Yue came closer to her.

"Right, I wonder how did someone like you become a teacher. You encourage bullying and look down on every people that are not in your class. You think too highly of yourself Miss Yang. You should get yourself check for psychological illness." Jiang Yue harshly said while approaching Yang Mei. Her eyes are still as fierce as ever.

When Jiang Yue was only a foot away, she moved her head closer to Yang Mei's face. Then she tilted her head as she whispered. "Don't think that I would just stand here and watch you possibly ruin my family's prestige. Do it again and I will make sure you regret it for the rest of your life. I will make your family disappear in a day. I will make you watch them as I peel their skin... then their muscles... and slowly... just... slowly removed their body parts one... by... one. I will start with the ears. Less blood more suffering. Then the nose..."

Yang Mei's face turned purple then green then back to purple as she continued to listen to Jiang Yue's words.

"Don't worry Miss Yang, I am not the type of person that will make any threats. I find it cowardly and to be honest funny. I will do it and If you want I can even do it now!" Jiang Yue squinted her eyes as her lips curled upwards, making it look like she is smiling at Yang Mei. She does not have time to deal with this Yang Mei, so she is keeping their interaction short. A direct assault of words should keep this woman away from her.

However, if this Yang Mei is really looking for death, then she will give it to her with no interest what so ever.

"N-no...no...no Miss Jiang pl...please I won't do it again. I... forgive me." Yang Mei stuttered. She did not doubt Jiang Yue's words. The influence of the Wang Family is vast. They are very capable of something like this happen.

"Ah good. Very Good. Thank you, Miss Yang, I accept your sincere words." Jiang Yue cheered as she clapped her hands in joy, her eyes are twinkling with happiness. Smiling as if she did not just say those words to Yang Mei. "Ah... my plaque, thank you!" Jiang Yue added as she grabbed the plaque from the table and walked away smiling like a newly crowned queen.
