Jin Group

Lingjiao took a taxi to the Jin Group, but she was stopped in the hall on the first floor, “I am Mrs, Jin, I want to see my husband, Why can you stop me?”

 

“Mr. Jin asks us to stop you, because he doesn’t want to see you,”

 

Lingjiao was embarrassed, “I know he is busy, so he has no time to see me. But I have to go upstairs to see him. Let me go!” 

 

“Ms. Xiao, please don’t make us into trouble. It’s our work.” The security and the girl working at the reception persuaded her.

 

Those people who gather around were talking about her.

 

“Now, you have made me into trouble, because you don’t allow me to go upstairs to see my husband.” Lingjiao argued with them.

 

“Ms. Xiao, please leave now. Otherwise, we will have to force you to leave.” The security said.

 

“I won’t leave if I can’t see Darren today.” Lingjiao persisted to see Darren, “I also want to see how you force me to leave.”

 

“Then I would like to apologize to you first.” And then the leader of the security asked two of his team members to get close to Lingjiao.

 

Lingjiao didn’t move and said seriously, “If you dare to touch me, I will sue you for indecent assault.”

 

At this time, someone entered the company.

 

The people who looked around walked away then let them in. And then there were a few people walking into the company, including Zhan. 

 

When Lingjiao saw Zhan, she was angrier.

 

Zhan was a bit surprised when he saw Lingjiao here. But he calmed down again quickly, and then he walked towards the elevator as if he hadn’t seen Lingjiao.

 

“Mr Xiao, this way, please.” The workers were polite.

 

When she saw the workers were very polite to Zhan and even showed him the way, she was very angry.

 

She even trembled.

 

“Zhan, stop!” Lingjiao yelled.

 

However, Zhan walked straight to the elevator as if he hadn’t heard her.

 

“Zhan, you are so shameless. I am Mrs. Jin, not you, How dare you come here to seduce my husband?” Lingjiao slandered him when Zhan ignored her.

 

When Lingjiao said that, the people looking around began discussing again. And all of them looked at Zhan.

 

Zhan felt stressed under the gaze of so many people, but he wasn’t scared at all.

 

“Lingjiao, do you have any evidence to prove that I seduce Darren?” Zhan stood still and said indifferently, “If you don’t have evidence, don’t slander me here. Otherwise, I can sue you for libel.”

 

“The evidence is that you dare come to the Jin Group today.” Lingjiao sneered, “As his wife, I couldn’t enter the company and I couldn’t see him. Why can you enter the company to see him?”

 

A worker clarified, “Ms. Xiao, Mr Zhan is a designer, and he comes to our company for the tender of the Beach Hotel, I hope you can stop slandering Mr Zhan. And you come here for private affairs, so Mr. Darren has no time to see you because he is busy with work now. I hope you can calm down and don’t cause trouble here. Please leave now.”

 

“Does he really come here for work? As we all know, he was his fiancée before. Now he just wants to have sex with him in the name of work. Do you think we are silly?” Lingjiao said with tears. She pretended to be weak so that she could get sympathy from others.

 

“Ms. Xiao, please stop talking like that.” The workers were unsatisfied. 

 

“Why? I just help myself to fight against my enemy, because I don’t want my child to have no dad in the future. So I don’t think I am wrong.” Lingjiao said with her tears streaming down her cheeks, and she really looked poor in this way. She continued, “He refuses to see me and our baby because you seduce him.”

 

“I think you are ridiculous.” Zhan had thought that it would be fine if he ignored her just now. Unexpectedly, Lingjiao slandered him like this. She must have been crazy.

 

When Zhan wanted to leave, Lingjiao suddenly knelt down on the ground and cried out with tears.

 

“Zhan, please don’t hurt me again, My baby and I can’t live without Darren, I know you don’t like me, but please think about it twice for my baby. He is your nephew, Zhan, please leave him…” Lingjiao begged him while crying.

 

She kowtowed to Zhan on the hard and cold floor tiles, and everyone around them felt shocked.

 

People always sympathized with the weak, so they all sympathized with Lingjiao at this time. And they had more doubts about Zhan who was an ambitious man.

 

They all stared at Zhan, as if they were trying to scrutinize him.

 

“Zhan, my baby and I can’t live without Darren…” Lingjiao kept crying. She looked so weak, which made people around want to uphold justice for her.

 

And someone did it and scolded Zhan, “Zhan, how can you be so cruel? How can you try to hurt a baby? Are you crazy?”

 

“As the saying goes, beauty is like a snack.”

 

“Zhan, I know why Mr. Darren likes the design of the Liu Group now…”

 

Zhan looked at his colleagues and competitors who laughed at him and said, “You are liable for legal responsibility if you slander me without evidence. I never did it, so I won’t be responsible for it. I have the right to retain legal investigation for the defamation of Lingjiao and you today. That’s it. Please think about it twice.”

 

Zhan no longer quarreled with them, but walked towards the elevator.

 

“Ms. Xiao, can you hear me? Ms. Linder falls in a faint, called 120. Quick…”

 

They were already in a mess. Zhan didn’t want to pay attention to them again. And he wouldn’t be upset because of their slander.

 

On the contrary, he would do better at his work.

 

Today, Shenhai, Jianmin and Darren were the chief reviewers of the bidding documents, and Zhan would finish his job well.

 

Zhan was the last one to explain his bidding document. 

 

When he finished and went out, Rex stepped forward and said to him, “Mr Xiao, Mr. Darren invites you to have a talk with him in his office.”

 

“Rex, I don’t think I should talk with him right now.” Zhan refused him.

 

“Mr Xiao, I won’t force you. And I would like to apologize to you in the name of Mr. Darren for the slander from Lingjiao.” Rex apologized to him politely.

 

“Then please ask Mr. Darren to supervise his own wife. Otherwise, I am afraid that she will do it again.” And then Zhan turned back and left.

 

Five years ago, I decided to leave him when he made his own choice, and now I didn’t want to accept his apology.

 

Rex withdrew his look at Zhan’s stubborn and beautiful figure and then turned to the office of Darren.

 

Darren stood still in front of the window, with his hands in his pockets.

 

“He refused.” Darren did not look back and knew that Rex came alone.

 

“Mr. Jin, I failed to keep Mr Xiao.” Rex stood in front of the large office, lowering his head in shame.

 

“It has nothing to do with you. I know he won’t come to see me. I just want to have a try.” Darren was prepared for the result, but he still felt a little disappointed.

 

“How’s the case going with Zhan’s giving birth to a child five years ago?” Darren turned around and asked.

 

He was so eager know what had happened five years ago. What was the reason that Zhan, who was so fond of him at that time, suddenly gave birth to a child?

 

In view of Zhan’s character and love for him, he would not have done such a thing.

 

There must be a reason. Zhan might have encountered some difficulties or someone forced him to do so.

 

Darren was so impetuous and shocked by Zhan, who was holding a child in his arms that he didn’t have time to think, and he impulsively said and did some cruel things. Now he regretted that he hadn’t listened to Zhan explanation.

 

“It is only confirmed that Mr Xiao disappeared for more than a year before his baby was born. As for what he did, how he got pregnant or who the father is are still unknown.” Rex buried his head lower. He felt powerless. He couldn’t find anything.

 

“More than a year…” Darren frowned. That meant Zhan had planned to give birth to this child, “Did he get close to any man at that time?”

 

“Before Mr Xiao disappeared, he was closest to no one but you.” Rex paused, and then continued, “Mr. Jin, there’s one thing I don’t know if I should say.”

 

“Go ahead.” Darren sat down in a swivel chair and looked up at him.

 

“Is it possible that Mr Xiao’s’s baby is yours?” Rex thought it was possible. 

 

Darren’s eyes darkened instantly. 

 

Rex quickly denied it, “Mr. Jin, I’m sorry, I’m just guessing.”

 

“It’s okay.” Darren took back his sight and shook his head, “I really hope that the child is mine.” 

 

He and Zhan were young when they were together, and he respected him, Zhan was a good boy and their love was very simple.

 

As long as they looked at each other, they would feel that the world was sweet.

 

They had only held hands and kissed, and they didn’t do anything out of line, so the child couldn’t possibly be his.

 

Rex saw Darren looked distressed.

 

“Go on with the matter. I must know the truth.” Darren made up his mind that no matter what the truth was, he had to find out what had happened, just to set his mind at rest.

 

Rex nodded and then said, “Mr. Jin, What Miss Lingjiao did in the lobby today has been posted on the Internet and goes viral, It would affect the reputation of the Jin Group, nor is it favorable for you and Mr Zhan. Rumor has it that you abandoned your wife and child for Mr Zhan… Mr Zhan is taken for a mistress and is scolded very badly on the internet.”

 

“Control the public opinion, and take down headline… Leave it to the PR company.” Darren’s fingers crossed. “It has a very bad effect on Mr Zhan. Don’t get him in trouble. Lingjiao’s shameful behavior can be made public when necessary.”

 

“Mr. Jin, you can’t do this. If you make public what Miss Lingjiao had done, it would hurt her, but it would hurt you as well. By that time, you and the Jin family would become a joke.” Rex was right. 

 

After all, Lingjiao and Hepeng were caught red-handed by the police. If it was made public, Darren and the Jin family would become the joke.

 

Even if they didn’t dare to say anything on the surface, people would gossip them behind their back.

 

Such humiliation was not what all men would live with.

 

“Do you have a better idea?” Darren asked Rex, “Lingjiao intentionally confused the public. She dares to slander Zhan because she is sure that I will not disclose her shameless behavior. She is forcing me to work on this marriage! But could I bear this again and again?”

 

“If I don’t teach her a lesson, she would think I’m afraid of her! I just want her to know that I’m not afraid of anything if I can get rid of her! Even if I turn myself into a joke!” Rex could feel Darren’s determination to break up this marriage. 

 

“Mr. Jin, I’ll do my best.” Rex didn’t want his respected Darren to become a joke.

 

“Go and do your business.” Darren said faintly.

 

Rex then left to deal with Lingjiao.

 

 

***

 

Zhan, who was involved in the incident, had been blasted by netizens, who were using dirty words as much as they could.

 

Zhan’s tweet was full of negative comments. In responses to those comments, Zhan just posted a Weibo to clarify that he had never intervened in the relationship between Darren and Lingjiao, and that he was married and living a happy life. And then he turned off the comment section.

 

After that, he focused on work. But there were always people who liked to gossip, especially Zhouxuan and her colleagues. 

 

“I can’t believe Zhan would seduce his brother-in-law. He said he had a husband… but we’ve never seen his husband. No wonder he would drive a Ferrari sports car, Mr. Darren is really generous!”

 

“It’s such a shame that he still walks tall when he is being a mistress.”

 

“We must take off his mask and let everyone see his true face!”

 

But soon, the trend had totally changed on the Internet.

 

Someone had exposed the affairs of Lingjiao and Hepeng.

 

Besides, there were police records, the video and photos showing that Lingjiao and Hepeng were caught in the Luck Hotel, Only this news could remove Zhan’s suspicion and proved Lingjiao was a liar.

 

They apologized to Zhan for wronging him, and then scolded Lingjiao. as a liar and a shameless woman!

 

She was such a bitch! How shameless she was!

 

Lingjiao replaced Zhan to be scolded by netizens, which made more people know her!

 

While staying in the hospital, Lingjiao saw that her plan was backfired and she was scolded, she dropped her phone with anger!

 

 

***

 

 

Zhan didn’t think the thing would change so fast either. There were solid evidence showing what Lingjiao had done, and that would be her stigma for the rest of her life.

 

Lingjiao had fallen into the abyss, and it was hard for her to get back up again.

 

However, the news had a bad influence on Darren and the Jin family.

 

No matter who exposed Lingjiao, the person had saved Zhan, so he was grateful to that person. Zhan picked Fei up from the kindergarten after work. After all the ups and downs of today, Zhan became famous.

 

In the face of those parents’ complex looks, he was calm.

 

Anyway, it was not his fault and he had nothing to feel guilty about.

 

“Fei was picked up by her father,” the teacher said when Zhan picked up Fei.

 

“Really?” Zhan was so surprised. Yibo came back and picked up Fei but didn’t call him.

 

Zhan thanked the teacher and left the kindergarten. After he got into the car, he picked up his cell phone and saw Yibo’s message, [“I have picked up Fei. Come back when you are after work.”]

 

Looking at the messages, Zhan reminded of the tall and handsome man. 

 

Zhan tilted his lips and he was in good mood. And then he drove to Cloud Recesses Community.

 

But before he went home, he stopped at one red wine shop and picked a bottle of good red wine to take home.

 

Zhan wanted to have a good talk with Yibo tonight and let him know what he thought. 

 

Jiyang was right, Yibo wouldn’t know my thoughts if I didn’t speak out. If I wanted to fight for my happiness and gave him a sense of security, I should speak up.

 

 

***

 

 

Back to Cloud Recesses Community, Zhan couldn’t see any light in the mansion outside. He wondered whether Yibo had come back.

 

He opened the door and changed his shoes at the entrance, carrying the wine to the living room.

 

There were indeed no lights on in the living room, only a shimmer of light coming from the dining room.

 

Zhan made his way to the dining room, where flowers and candlesticks were set on a long table. The glimmer of white candles softened the atmosphere of the room.

 

Out of the kitchen came a tall man with two plates of steaks in his hands and placed them at each end of the table.

 

And then he picked up the bunch of flowers on the table and walked up to Zhan. “These are for you. Do you like them?”

 

“Thank you.” The sweet arrangement was so romantic, thought Zhan. 

 

The cold man always gave him surprise again and again. Zhan felt so warm at what Yibo had done, and Zhan felt his eyes were a bit sour.

 

“What did you bring?” Yibo saw the wooden box in his hand and asked, “Red wine?”

 

“Yes.” Zhan put the red wine on the table, “I bought it on my way home, and want to share with you.”

 

“We think the same, but I’m sober.” Yibo glanced at the glass decanter on the table, “Just take it as a gift for me.”

 

“Great.” Zhan readily agreed.

 

“Sit down and try my steak.” Yibo helped Zhan pull the delicate white chair.

 

Zhan sat down gently. He suddenly thought of his daughter, “Where is Fei? The teacher said you picked up the child.”

 

“It is our time now, I have left Fei to Mr Jiyang, Rest assured.” Yibo gave Zhan a reassured touch on his thin shoulder and poured the wine into the goblet in front of him.

 

Yibo walked to the other end of the table, filled his own glass, and then sat down.

 

They sat at opposite ends of the table. Yibo raised his goblet and looked at Zhan, “Enjoy ourselves. Cheers.”

 

“Cheers.” Zhan took his glass, too, and smiled at him.

 

In the candlelight, that soft halo softened his warm look, Zhan’s eyes and brows were delicate charming, and his red lips like gently blooming flower.

 

They finished their glass of red wine, which was about half the height of their pinky finger. Yibo stood up and poured more wine for Zhan again.

 

Yibo, in a simple white shirt, was standing in the candlelight, which outlined his strong body. The sleeves were rolled up to reveal his strong forearms and healthy skin color, showing the masculinity and strength of a man. He looked very attractive in his tall posture.

 

Zhan, with his head slightly tilted back, had a faint pink complexion on his fair face. 

 

“Eat the steak, or it won’t taste good when it gets cold.” He had an attractive charm that he didn’t know, “We will enjoy the night together.”

 

Zhan nodded, and began to enjoy the steak.

 

Yibo did a very good job of preparing the steak. It tasted as good as the chefs in famous restaurants.

 

After the meal, Yibo stretched out his hand to him and said, “Darling, please dance with me.”

 

Zhan smiled and put his hand in his. 

 

Yibo took his lightly and pulled him up.

 

Yibo held Zhan’s waist in one hand and his hand in the other. They got close to each other and began to dance gently. A melodious tune came from somewhere and they hugged each other gently with the rhythm of the music.

 

Yibo slowly put his both hands Zhan’s waist, while Zhan wrapped his arms around Yibo’s neck. 

 

Zhan looked up at him, and in his soft eyes, Yibo outline was deeply painted in his heart.

 

Yibo, as if seduced by Zhan’s gaze, lowered his head.

 

Zhan, on the other hand, instinctively closed his eyes and felt his breath enveloping him.

His kiss was gentle but domineering, soft but strong.

 

And Yibo felt that his(xz) lips were softer and sweeter than he had expected. He tasted them, and then was absorbed into kissing him.

 

They kissed deeply and affectionately.

They spent a tender night together, enjoying the romantic time.

 

 

***

 

 

The next morning, Yibo made the breakfast in person after the morning running. 

 

After taking a shower, he changed his clothes, wearing a white and fine shirt and a straight and expensive suit. He always looked so handsome and extraordinary.

 

After breakfast, Yibo and Zhan went to work together. On the way, he took out a document and gave it to Zhan.

 

“What’s this?” Zhan asked him.

 

“Just open it.” said Yibo calmly.

 

Zhan took it, slowly opened it, and what was written inside shocked him.

 

When Zhan stared at the “Divorce agreement”, his eyes were stung, his brow twitched, and his nose was sore. 

 

The tears blurred his sight.

 

Zhan held back his tears and asked, “Why do you give me this?”
