The runaway Cinderella of the billionaire president

Fu Shenyan looked at her as if he was half drunk, but when he was two steps away from reaching the bed, he fell down due to being too drunk. He slumped on the carpet beside the bed, looking at Zhou Yian sadly.

"Yian, why...why are you ignoring me?"

"Are you angry?" He raised his hand to touch her cheek, but she tilted her head slightly and sleekly avoided his hand.

Fu Shenyan's hand fell empty. He laughed dryly at himself and said, "Yian, you are angry and you won't let me touch you."

Zhou Yian remained silent.

Seeing that she ignored him, Fu Shenyan simply sat down with his back against the edge of the bed, his head drooping weakly, and muttered to himself: "Yian, do you know? I sent the video to Xu Zehao today."

When he heard Xu Zehao's name, Zhou Yian finally moved his fingertips slightly, blinked his eyes, and showed a hint of reaction.

"Haha, how much do you think he loves you? I asked him to choose between you and fame and fortune, and guess what he did... He chose self-preservation."

"Hahaha, he...he didn't even dare to come to me to ask for me. He chose to just give up."

"You don't believe it, do you? I'm not lying to you. Otherwise, how could you think that with his ability, he wouldn't come to save you? You've been missing for many days."

"Yian, stop loving him...love me, okay? You're really...really not that important in his eyes. To be honest, even I feel sorry for you."

"You... in order to fulfill his wish and not let him know the truth, you endured humiliation and stayed with me. Now it seems... isn't it... isn't it just a joke?"

When Fu Shenyan said the word "give up", her thoughts had already drifted away. As for what Fu Shenyan said afterwards, she didn't hear a single word.

[So, did Xu Zehao know the whole truth? After weighing the pros and cons, did he give up on me? Is that right?] Zhou Yian was heartbroken to the point of being unable to breathe when he thought of such a cruel outcome.

It was clearly him who pushed him away, but after hearing Fu Shenyan say that he had given up on him, Zhou Yian still felt so sad that he wanted to cry.

The more she endured, the sadder she became. Tears flowed silently and a low whimper came from her throat.

She quickly bit her lower lip, and even though her lips were already bruised with bright red blood, she was reluctant to let go. She tried to use the pain to suppress her sobs, but her tears still flowed down uncontrollably.

He gave up... gave up.

Fu Shenyan's words were like countless needles piercing her heart repeatedly, causing her intense pain, as if reminding her that this was not a self-touching fulfillment, but her wishful and foolish sacrifice.

Finally, Zhou Yian couldn't bear it anymore. She covered her nose and mouth tightly with her hands to prevent herself from crying out loud.

"Yi'an..., are you...crying?" Hearing Zhou Yi'an's suppressed crying, Fu Shenyan, who was sitting on the ground, asked vaguely.

But there was no answer to his question, and what he got was Zhou Yian's long silence.

Fu Shenyan was anxious. He supported himself on the floor with one hand and pulled the mattress with the other to get up, but because he was drunk, he had to use a lot of effort and struggled several times before he could barely stand up.

He was drunk and stood there staggering. He shook his head vigorously several times, trying to sober himself up and figure out whether he was hallucinating or Zhou Yian was really crying.

However, he drank a little too much tonight, and he could only see Zhou Yian and the bed swaying and floating in front of him.

"Yian...are you crying?"

Fu Shenyan leaned down and supported his hands on both sides of Zhou Yian. This time, he saw it clearly. Zhou Yian's eyes were red and her eye sockets were wet. She was really crying.

Zhou Yian ignored Fu Shenyan's actions, spread out his five fingers to cover his entire face, and sobbed in pain.

This was the first time he saw her crying so silently.

Fu Shenyan was stunned. He was almost sober now and just stared at her, but he felt uncomfortable as if something was blocked in his chest.

His Adam's apple rolled and he swallowed hard. He suddenly stood up straight and turned around quickly, not daring to look at Zhou Yian again.

He walked straight to the floor-to-ceiling window, leaned one hand on the glass, and tugged at his already loose tie with the other hand in annoyance.

His dark eyes stared at the equally dark night outside the floor-to-ceiling window, with no expression on his face. No one knew what he was thinking.

In the VIP room on the eighth floor of MG, Xu Zehao was pacing back and forth anxiously, taking out his mobile phone from time to time to check messages.

Finally, the phone rang, and he answered it eagerly: "How is it going? Has Gao Jing found out anything?"

"Mr. Xu, we have the answer. Gao Jing is called Mingjue's HR manager, but she is actually the person in charge of the entire club. Her boss behind the scenes is Fu Shenyan."

"You guessed right. She has been helping Fu Shenyan all along. She is the person who directly contacts Fu Shenyan."

Xu Zehao sighed as if relieved, a long-lost smile appeared on his face, and he said eagerly: "Okay, very good, everything is going according to plan."

At this time, Gao Jing was still working diligently in the office, completely unaware that some things had changed drastically without her noticing. Until the front desk called and said that someone in the VIP box asked her to come over by name, she thought that someone was just dissatisfied with the club's service.

When the door opened and she saw that only Xu Zehao was inside, although she was confused, she pretended to be calm and walked forward, "Mr. Xu, it's been a long time since we last met. I'm sorry for not welcoming you."

She looked around the private room and confirmed that Xu Zehao was the only one inside. Then she asked calmly, "Mr. Xu, are you here alone again today? Is there anything special you need me to arrange?"

Xu Zehao sat upright on the leather sofa, his lips curled up slightly as he looked at her calmly, "Manager Gao, although you are a woman, you are generous and straightforward, steady in your work, and grateful and sympathetic. You are a rare talent."

"Mr. Xu, what do you mean by suddenly saying this?"

Gao Jing smiled and looked at Xu Zehao anxiously.

"Are you interested in working for Xu's?" Xu Zehao poured a glass of wine gracefully and gently pushed it in front of Gao Jing with his index and middle fingers.

"Xu Group? Mr. Xu, you're probably making fun of me. How can I, a person working in the service industry, enter the prestigious Xu Group?"

"Manager Gao, you underestimate yourself. If you stay at MG, you'll be nothing more than a human resources manager. But if you come to Xu's, I can offer you the position of general manager."

"Mr. Xu, I, Gao Jing, have been in society for a long time. Naturally, I understand that there is no such thing as a free lunch. Now that such a big pie has fallen on my head, I am really a little confused."

"Mr. Xu, you're bored drinking alone, so you came to me to chat and relieve your boredom."

Gao Jing continued to smile and act stupid.

"Manager Gao, there's no such thing as a free lunch. If I can give you a free lunch, it means you have something worth exchanging with me. Would you consider it?"

Gao Jing was stunned. She was a smart person. Xu Zehao had said this, so she naturally understood the hidden meaning behind his words.

But she still pretended to be dumbfounded and looked at Xu Zehao, "Mr. Xu, I really didn't know what I had that was worth Mr. Xu coming to my house to poach MG's customers. Thank you..."

"Zhou Yian."

Before Gao Jing could finish her words, the smile on her face froze.

"I said I would trade you for Zhou Yian with the stuffed pancake." Xu Zehao spoke word by word, his eyes always fixed on Gao Jing, observing her reaction.

"Am I being clear enough now?"

Xu Zehao stood up, exuding a frosty aura from his body. A strong sense of oppression came over him. Under his absolute momentum, Gao Jing seemed powerless to resist.

"Mr. Xu, I..."

Gao Jing looked at Xu Zehao, gritted her teeth and continued to play dumb, refusing. "I'm sorry, Mr. Xu. I appreciate your kindness, but Zhou Yian resigned from MG a long time ago, and I don't know where she is now."

Xu Zehao looked at her coldly, his eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. Gao Jing suppressed her inner fear and looked at him as if nothing had happened.
