Marriage of convenience blossoms into love; the husband turns out to be a billionaire CEO.

There were many people and a lot of gossip in the company, so Ye Cheng decided to hold back until lunchtime to tell her best friend about her dramatic story.

She stuck her tongue out at Hua Zhixin and said lazily, "I'll pass on that for now; I'm not interested in blind dates."

"Okay!" Hua Zhixin pouted. "I'll make another appointment with you later. I have to go now."

Hua Zhixin turned and left, but before turning back, she added, "Let's have lunch together."

“Mm,” Ye Cheng replied.

At this time, many of my colleagues from the office gradually arrived.

Snickers drifted from some corners, and some people started making fun of yesterday's coffee shop video again, while gossipy glances occasionally drifted toward Ye Cheng.

The company is mostly staffed by women. The office work is boring and tedious, but these women will seize any opportunity to munch on it and never let go.

Ye Cheng looked around coldly, somewhat annoyed.

Tian Yawen swayed her hips as she walked over in her sky-high heels.

With her face heavily made up, she gave Ye Cheng a fake smile:

"Ye Cheng, I posted the video of the coffee shop in the group yesterday. You don't mind, do you?"

Ye Cheng glanced at her and replied indifferently:

"It's nothing shameful, do you think I mind?"

That gossipy woman is trying to get attention again.

Every year, Chuanggao Company selects three outstanding employees. Ye Cheng was selected for two consecutive years after joining Chuanggao, which eliminated Tian Yawen, who had worked at Chuanggao for four years. This woman held a grudge and was always at odds with Ye Cheng.

As for the prize, Ye Cheng was indeed aiming for the cash prize, since 10,000 yuan was no small sum for her.

However, we cannot deny her work ability. If you are not convinced, you can compete fairly. Is it meaningful to find fault everywhere?

It was obvious that the woman had seized another opportunity to humiliate her.

"Yeah, I knew you wouldn't mind!"

Tian Yawen chuckled twice.

"Speaking of your fiancé... oh no, I should call him ex-boyfriend, he's really a jerk. Breaking off an engagement is really embarrassing for a woman. If you're going to break it off, you can just do it quietly. Why did you have to bring your mother along and have a public argument with you? Tsk tsk, really..."

"It's okay, didn't I already retort?" Ye Cheng interrupted her indifferently.

Tian Yawen chuckled twice, feigning annoyance: "It's good to be thick-skinned and tough. If it were me, breaking off an engagement would be so embarrassing and shameful. I wouldn't have the confidence to argue back."

Ye Cheng casually touched her face and chuckled, "Ya Wen, you flatter me. My skin isn't even as thick as the layer of powder on your face."

Tian Yawen choked.

The woman gave an awkward laugh, but still wouldn't give up, continuing to tease and act up.

"Ye Cheng, look at you! You've dated a dozen boyfriends and you're still single. Women over thirty have even less of a market! You're supposed to be in marketing and planning, why don't you take better care of your personal life?"

"We're all in the same industry, so let me give you some advice. I suggest you lower your standards as soon as possible. Actually, finding a divorced man isn't bad. If it's the kind of divorced man with a child, you can even save yourself the trouble of having children!"

Someone nearby couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Ye Cheng ignored it and focused on tidying up the files on her desk.

Tian Yawen, still oblivious to the situation, smiled smugly and continued to assert her presence:

“My cousin’s eldest son is forty years old this year. He owns a fruit shop. He divorced his wife half a year ago and had a son and a daughter. They are now living with my cousin.”

“My cousin doesn’t have high requirements. He doesn’t want to find a divorced woman with children, since he has his own son and daughter. He just wants to find someone who has never been married and has no children, so that she can take care of his two children without worry.”

“Look how much easier it would be if you married my cousin. You’d have sons and daughters calling you ‘Mom’ and you wouldn’t have to work so hard. You could just stay home, cook, take care of the kids, and help out at the fruit shop when you have time.”

"By the way, my uncle is in good health, but my aunt suffered a stroke last year and is somewhat paralyzed on one side. She needs someone to wipe her body and massage her every day..."

Tian Yawen spoke animatedly, her spittle flying three meters away.

A group of onlookers in the office chattered amongst themselves, eager to see the drama unfold.

Even a fool could tell that Tian Yawen was deliberately belittling Ye Cheng.

"Have you finished speaking?"

Ye Cheng stared at her with icy eyes.

He gritted his teeth, trying hard to suppress the urge to slap her.

"I feel like what your cousin needs most is a nanny, and a free one at that!"

"What...what kind of talk is that!"

Tian Yawen twitched the corner of her mouth.

"I'm just trying to be helpful by introducing you to my cousin. He owns a car and a house in Shenzhen, and his fruit shop makes a good profit every year! Ye Cheng, you're almost thirty. Do you think older single women like you can still be so picky?"

Ye Cheng smiled faintly and said neither humbly nor arrogantly:

"So what if I'm an older single woman? Who says that older women can only wait to be chosen? In my opinion, it's better to marry at the right time than to marry early. Getting married early doesn't guarantee happiness, and being older doesn't necessarily mean you can't marry a good man. I'll just wait and see if I find a good man!"

Tian Yawen twisted her neck smugly and laughed loudly: "Ha, Ye Cheng, look at yourself in such a mess, and you still have the nerve to spout such nonsense, haha!"

"Women like you who are picked and chosen are left with only two choices: either marry a divorced man or an old bachelor, or live a lonely life as a single dog. This is the reality that older single women face. Am I wrong?"

Ye Cheng took a deep breath, wishing he could shove the woman's head right down her neck.

"Tian Yawen, whether I get married or stay single has nothing to do with you. Why are you more concerned than my mother!"

Tian Yawen gave a forced smile: "Sigh, my good intentions have been taken for granted. Ye Cheng, if you won't listen to my advice, then just stay single!"

"Well, you don't need to worry about that!"

Ye Cheng rolled her eyes indifferently.

"Some people are just getting married, but they always want to feel superior. They should care more about themselves than others. Be careful not to be too lucky. If their first marriage doesn't last, they might have a second or third one waiting in the future!"

Someone burst out laughing.

"you……"

Tian Yawen was left speechless.

"Sweet potato leaf!"

She spat out three words through gritted teeth, then slunk away, her waist twisted in shame.

Ye Digua was a name Ye Cheng casually used to make fun of herself.

The Ye family favored sons over daughters. When Lai Yulan gave birth to this daughter, her grandfather was so angry that he didn't eat for a day and didn't even want to name her.

Because Lai Yulan ate an orange that day, she went into labor and gave birth to her in less than ten minutes, so Ye's father casually named her Ye Cheng (Ye Orange).

One day, Ye Cheng was chatting with Hua Zhixin and talking about the origin of her name, casually joking:

"Luckily, my mom didn't just grab a sweet potato and start eating it when she gave birth to me, otherwise my name might have been Ye Digua (Sweet Potato Leaf)."

Tian Yawen overheard their conversation and often made fun of Ye Cheng's name in private. Now, unable to contain her anger, she blurted out the insult.

mock up!

Ye Cheng silently cursed those two words at Tian Yawen's retreating figure.

When it comes to sharp tongues, Ye Cheng has never lost.

The gossipy folks in the office gleefully enjoyed another round of gossip.

Ye Cheng bit her lip and thought for a moment, then picked up her phone, tagged everyone in the company's small group chat, and sent a message.

[@Everyone, I, Ye Cheng, hereby announce that I was jilted by a scumbag yesterday, and we have officially broken up. If you're too full to continue gossiping, I suggest you go to the restroom. If you continue spreading rumors, I wish you'll be the next one to encounter a scumbag! Please help me forward this to other company groups, thank you!]

The office fell silent within two minutes of the message being sent.

It worked!

Ye Cheng sneered inwardly.

The phone on the table vibrated.

Hua Zhixin sent me a private message: 【Sister is awesome! [powerful.JPG]】

She replied smugly: 【I'm the best at dealing with bad guys [picking nose.JPG]】
