Jian Dan supposed it was her first time taking the regular elevator to the 33rd floor. Back when she worked in the presidentâs office, she always used the private one.
So during Jian Danâs ride to the 33rd floor, a few staff members got on the elevator in succession.
What really annoyed Jian Dan was that among those getting on, there happened to be someone she knew.
Initially, Jian Dan hadnât noticed the other party until they called out her name.
When Jian Dan saw who it was, her brows deeply furrowed.
The manâs name was Lin Shen, one of her college classmates. He would swagger around campus on the back of his familyâs wealth.
He had pursued Jian Dan, but she never accepted, and because of that, he harbored ill will towards her, constantly causing her trouble. Eventually, he stopped because of Jian Danâs association with Zhong Tianhao and the respect Shaoyuâs status demanded.
But unexpectedly, she would encounter him here again; surely, misfortunes never come singly!
âYo, isnât this Jian Dan?
Youâve even got a child now? Married off quite early, huh? Was it because Zhong Tianhao dumped you, leaving you heartbroken and desperate enough to just marry anyone?â
The manâs voice sounded very unpleasant, âWhy arenât you saying anything? Are you too embarrassed to speak because of how poorly youâre faring now?â
Jian Dan looked at Lin Shen with disgust, âHow I am is none of your business, is it?â
âHa, still as sharp-tongued as before? But being mouthy canât hide the sad reality of your life!â Lin Shen sized up Jian Dan from head to toe.
Jian Danâs clothes were all tailor-made, which would be unrecognizable to the average person indeed.
âCan you shut up? Donât you realize how foul your mouth is, contaminating the air in the elevator?â Jian Dan said with disdain.
âYou donât think someone is still protecting you, do you?â
Qian Lele, who had remained silent all along, just watched this man courting death. He was genuinely curious how, once the man realized who he was speaking to, his facial expression would be priceless.
Qian Leleâs dark personality was a direct inheritance from Chu Liyuan!
After that remark, Jian Dan said nothing more, turning her head to the other side. She found it pointless to engage with such a person.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
When the elevator reached the 32nd floor, neither intended to get off, and Lin Shen finally sensed something amiss.
Initially, Lin Shen thought Jian Dan might be visiting someone. As a lot of people worked here, it wasnât surprising. But now, seeing her going to the 33rd floor, a sense of underestimation stirred within him, âYouâre also going to the 33rd floor?â Lin Shen asked.
Jian Dan didnât even lift an eyelid, for even glancing at him would make her feel sick.
Upon reaching the 33rd floor, Jian Dan was the first to step out of the elevatorâ¦
Lin Shen hesitated for half a second before rushing out, just as the elevator doors were about to close.
When Lin Shen exited the elevator, Jian Danâs figure was nowhere in sight.
As he stood there puzzled, Li Jing approached, âMr. Lin, have you arrived?â
âLi Assistant, hello!â Lin Shenâs attention refocused upon seeing Li Jing.
âJust wait here a moment. Iâll inform Mr. Chu!â
âSure!â
Lin Shen was ushered into a small conference room by Li Jing and then proceeded to Chu Liyuanâs officeâ¦
