Chapter 35.2

There was no such thing as an impermeable wall in this world. Jiang Yuan frequently went to the top floor and someone saw her going to Zhongjing’s car after work, a small employee and a big boss, anybody could know what kind of relationship they had.

When she went to eat on the tenth floor at noon, no one was willing to come and join her and when she walked into the company, there would be probing, contempt or even malicious eyes swept over her.

Linda, Xiao Xiao, who used to be very close with her had also distanced herself from her.

She went from being a group favorite to being a group hater.

“Oh, isn’t this Jiang Yuan from the PR department, what brings you here?”

“I’m here to see Manager Xu. I’ve already prepared the promotional page he asked for and come here to ask him to confirm it.” Jiang Yuan ignored Deng Yuan’s strange attitude and directly explained the purpose of her visit.

Deng Yuan twitched the corners of her mouth disdainfully, “Manager Xu is not here.”

“Then I’ll come back later.”

“Hey, don’t go!” Deng Yuan stopped her.

Deng Yuan put her arm on her shoulder and changed her smiling face and lowered her voice, “Little Jiang, tell me quietly, what did you use to charm our president? There are so many people in this company who want to get the president’s attention. Some are very good-looking but I didn’t expect the president to actually like you, you say, did you give him that kind of drug?”

Jiang Yuan’s face was cold, “I don’t have anything with Mr Zhong.”

“Ouch, stop pretending! Some people saw you coming down from the top floor with a face that show that you had sex and some people also saw you leaving work in his car and you say that you have nothing with him, even the ghosts will not believe it!”

Jiang Yuan pushed her arm away, “I don’t care if you believe it or not.”

Hey, you—” Deng Yuan held her tightly, “What’s the big deal about you? You’re just an escort, after serving the old one every day, you go upstairs to serve the young one, what’s so good about being a whore?”

Jiang Yuan put her hand up and slapped her with a crisp “pop”.

Deng Yuan stood there in a daze and it took half a second to react and she rushed towards Jiang Yuan.

Several women from the same department as Deng Yuan came over to mediate the fight, no, they actually came to help. The person who pulled Jiang Yuan held her firmly and stopped her from moving while the person who pulled Deng Yuan held her weakly allowing Deng Yuan to grab and beat Jiang Yuan again.

Jiang Yuan soon had wounds all over her face.

“Stop! What are you doing?!” Someone angrily shouted.

The women stopped.

Jiang Yuan sat awkwardly on the ground.

Han Qiming originally came down to find the project team but he didn’t expect to see such a scene. He came over to help Jiang Yuan, “Are you all right?”

Jiang Yuan touched her face and she felt a little blood and her face felt so painful.

These women were so cruel.

She got up and said to Han Qiming, “I am okay.”

Deng Yuan immediately shouted to Han Qiming, “Assistant Han, don’t be partial to her, she beat me first! You can check the surveillance!”

Jiang Yuan looked at the women and admit to Han Qiming: “It’s true that I hit her first.”

“You hear me—”

Han Qiming interrupted Deng Yuan coldly: “I only saw a group of you beating her and she was the only one who was injured.”

The women were silent.

Han Qiming said to Jiang Yuan, “I’ll take you to deal with this.” The

two returned to the fifth floor. Zhong Ze’s office door was closed and he was painting inside. Jiang Yuan didn’t want to let him know what happened so she took the medicine box and went to her office with Han Qiming.

There were scratches on her face, Han Qiming helped her to simply clean and disinfect and applied medicine and fortunately, it was not deep enough to leave scars.

There were still some bruises on her face and arms that couldn’t be treated and she could only wait for it to fade slowly.

He finished applying medicine for her then looked at her silently for a while and said, “Alright then, I’ll go first.”

He turned to leave but Jiang Yuan stopped him.

“Assistant Han—”

He stopped in his tracks.

“Thank you.”

Jiang Yuan thanked him expecting that he would leave but the other party stood still with his back to her.

He didn’t go but he also didn’t speak anything for a long time.

Instead, she saw that his hand hanging by his side was clenched into a fist as if he was holding back something.

It took a long time for him to speak: “Jiang Yuan, you and Mr Zhong will never get anywhere.”

Jiang Yuan paused.

She was silent and said in a low voice, “Who knows, until the end, no one can know the outcome.”

Han Qiming turned around and said earnestly, “You don’t understand their world, you will be the one who suffers in the end, why do you have to take this road? He really isn’t suitable for you, this is a dark road where you will continue to get hurt, do you understand?”

Jiang Yuan bit her lower lip and said nothing.

“I want him, I really do.” Her voice was low but clear and firm.

She raised her head to look at Han Qiming who was trying to persuade her, “I know that in the eyes of all of you, I’m not worthy of him. He and I are people from two completely different worlds.”

“If it wasn’t for some kind of accident, I would never have crossed paths with him.”

“That’s why I have developed a gambler mentality.”

“I understand that you are worried about me and I have thought about the results you said, I decided to be with him after I made sure that I could bear it. If I lose, I will not regret it but if I give up on the person I like and give up on him without even trying, I will regret it.”

Jiang Yuan finished speaking and fixedly looked at Han Qiming who persuaded her.

Han Qiming was stunned after listening to her words.

He thought that she was being played without her knowing it but he didn’t expect that she knew everything.

She knew who Zhong Jing was and what she had to face.

He didn’t know whether to say she was too brave or too naive.

Probably, a bit of both.
