Chapter 54: Start Over

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Once she got used to the way Liang Xun and Shen Yu interacted with each other, Jing Yao didn’t find it strange.

No matter what, Shen Yu and Shen Zhao were still afraid of Liang Xun. They often argued with each other, but they would also be afraid if Liang Xun was really angry.

Liang Xun had taken over the Liang Corporation for several years. His aura in the business world was intense. He usually did not smile and was quite good at scaring people. Most of the peers he knew followed his lead, and those he did not know did not dare to look at him directly.

Jing Yao was a little afraid of Liang Xun from the beginning, especially when he was expressionless, but she was much better now.

Shen Yu and his sister had a free meal here, and then Liang Xun mercilessly packed the two of them up and threw them out. Shen Zhao successfully got Jing Yao’s contact number and was quite happy when she left.

However, Jing Yao had a strict time limit on playing with her cell phone now, so she didn’t have much time to chat with Shen Zhao.

The next morning, Liang Xun went to the company. Before he left, he reminded Jing Yao to wait for him to pick her up at night.

…..

Jing Yao didn’t want to trouble him, but she knew that it was useless to refuse. Hence, she didn’t say anything and nodded obediently.

At night, Liang Xun came back early from work, picked Jing Yao up and went to the venue that she had arranged with Cheng Wan. They went early. After all, they were juniors and there was no reason for the elders to wait for them.

Even though they were here, Jing Yao still didn’t have the courage to face Cheng Wan with Liang Xun.

Liang Xun was very understanding at this moment. He said directly, “Then stay here yourself. I’ll wait for you in the car. Call me when you’re done. 1’11 pick you up.”

Jing Yao couldn’t bear to let Liang Xun wait for her in the car with an empty stomach. “But it’s time for dinner now.”

Liang Xun smiled gently and tolerantly. “I’m not hungry. We’ll talk about it after you guys have discussed it. By the way, remember not to eat anything too spicy or cold.”

Jing Yao hurriedly nodded and watched Liang Xun leave with a frown.

When Cheng Wan walked into the private room, she saw Jing Yao in a daze with an unhappy expression. She was stunned for a moment and explained, “I’m sorry, Yaoyao. Chen suddenly had some problems with his work. 1 originally said that we would come over together after he settled it, but he won’t be here for a while, so 1 came first. Have you been waiting for a long time?”

Jing Yao hurriedly stood up and got Cheng Wan to sit down before saying, “I just arrived too. Auntie just said… that Wen Chen is coming too?”

Cheng Wan looked a little awkward. “Actually, Wen Chen got me to ask you out this time.”

She observed Jing Yao’s face as she spoke. Jing Yao pursed her lips and frowned slightly, obviously unhappy.

Cheng Wan sighed. “Yaoyao, I think you and Chen should have a good talk. There are many misunderstandings between the two of you.”

Jing Yao’s face darkened. She said firmly, “There’s nothing to talk about. I have nothing to do with him anymore.”

Cheng Wan’s expression turned ugly, but she still smiled at Jing Yao. “Yaoyao, don’t be agitated. 1 have no intention of favoring my son. I know Chen’s personality. He’s arrogant, stubborn, and can’t swallow his pride. He’s been instigated by Jing Yuan since he was young and his attitude towards you has always been bad. But I can tell that he has you in his heart. I hope you two can start over.”

A trace of disdain flashed across Jing Yao’s eyes, but it quickly dissipated. She said coldly, “Auntie, you should know that we’ve already broken off the engagement. I don’t want to have anything to do with him at all now, nor do I care what he thinks.”

Cheng Wan was a little surprised. She remembered that Jing Yao liked to chase after Wen Chen when she was young, like a little follower. Was she really disheartened by the cancellation of the engagement?

Cheng Wan was still a little indignant. She said, “Yaoyao, we should calm down and deal with this matter. I’ve also heard about the situation back then. It’s understandable that Chen misunderstood you. He’s also a little extreme, so he was impulsive. He probably regretted that and asked me to ask you out this time. It’s just that he’s used to being arrogant and can’t lower himself to tell you.”

Jing Yao’s heart ached slightly. She felt a lump in her throat and looked at Cheng Wan in disbelief. “Auntie also believes what they said and thinks that I’m in the wrong because 1 went out to mess around?”

Cheng Wan was at a loss. She explained in a panic, “No, no. 1 don’t think so. I’m just stating the facts. The situation at that time was complicated. Chen didn’t handle it well. This is his fault. Auntie will get him to apologize to you later..”
