The reason Yu Youwei hadn’t gone to work today was because she had gone to find Jiang Yan.
At this moment, she was standing at the front desk of Jiang Yan’s company.
She had come here with him a few times before, so the staff recognized her face. She walked straight in, intending to confront him directly.
But she was stopped at the reception desk.
“Hello, may I ask who you’re here to see?”
Yu Youwei frowned in displeasure at the familiar receptionist. “You don’t recognize me? I’m here to see Jiang Yan.”
The receptionist maintained her polite smile. “I’m sorry, Director Yu. Do you have an appointment?”
“No.”
“Then I’m sorry, we can’t receive visitors without an appointment.”
“What???” Yu Youwei widened her eyes in disbelief.
“I’m Jiang Yan’s girlfriend. Do I need an appointment to see him?”
Still smiling, the receptionist replied, “But CEO Jiang specifically instructed us that, regardless of who it is, no visitors are allowed without an appointment.”
Yu Youwei stared at her in disbelief. She was about to lash out, pointing her finger at the receptionist when someone walked in from outside.
The receptionist immediately greeted the newcomer with respectful enthusiasm.
Yu Youwei turned around and saw Mu Wanzhou. Her expression instantly turned cold.
Mu Wanzhou walked in gracefully, swaying with every step.
“My, Miss Yu, why aren’t you at your own company today? What brings you here?”
Hearing that familiar voice, Yu Youwei suppressed her growing anger. Fearing the power behind the Mu Group, she gritted her teeth and forced out, “CEO Mu.”
“Wow, Miss Yu, you don’t look like you’re in a very good mood today.”
Today, Mu Wanzhou wore a fitted black suit and a pencil skirt, her long legs wrapped in sheer black stockings, paired with red heels. She had that seductive professional look.
Yu Youwei asked coldly, “What are you doing at Jiang Yan’s company?”
Mu Wanzhou chuckled. “Isn’t that what I should be asking you?”
“I’m here to talk to Jiang Yan,” Yu Youwei said.
Mu Wanzhou’s alluring eyes swept over her and sneered, “Tsk. Miss Yu, you’re really persistent. He already broke up with you, and you’re still chasing after him? How shameless.”
“I’m not chasing anyone. I just have something to say to him face-to-face. And I never agreed to the breakup,” Yu Youwei replied angrily, her neck flushed red. Visit novelping . com for the full chapter.
She had finally set aside her pride to come see Jiang Yan, only to run into this wretched Mu Wanzhou. Just her luck.
Mu Wanzhou laughed like she’d heard a great joke. “Haha! Yu Youwei, do you still not realize your situation? When Jiang Yan was humbly chasing after you, groveling at your feet, where were you? Daydreaming about your white moonlight and treating him like a backup stand-in. Now your white moonlight is back and Jiang Yan wants to move on. Nobody’s licking your boots anymore and suddenly you can’t take it? People really are ridiculous.”
“Shut up! What nonsense are you spouting?!”
Yu Youwei’s eyes were filled with rage. “I never did that. Jiang Yan did everything willingly—I never forced him. He’s just angry right now, and I came to explain.”
“And you? You chased after him last night and came here again today. What are you trying to do to Jiang Yan?”
Mu Wanzhou scoffed, “Unlike you, I don’t cling to someone after getting dumped. I’m straightforward about what I want—if I like someone, I pursue them openly. So quit showing up in front of Jiang Yan. If you annoy me, your precious Yu Group might suffer for it.”
“What? You… you’re pursuing Jiang Yan?” Yu Youwei was stunned, unable to believe what she was hearing.
She didn’t like Mu Wanzhou, but still—she was the eldest daughter of the Mu family, a proper socialite. How could she lower herself, set aside a family worth hundreds of billions, and go chase a man?
Mu Wanzhou smiled, then turned to the receptionist. “Xiao Li, if it were you, would you pursue Jiang Yan?”
The receptionist blinked, a little embarrassed. “Please don’t tease me, CEO Mu. Someone like me… it’s impossible.”
Mu Wanzhou asked again, “What if identity didn’t matter?”
“If… if it didn’t, then of course I would. CEO Jiang is caring, handsome, loyal, and dependable. With a man like that, of course I’d want to be his girlfriend…” Xiao Li lowered her head shyly.
The words ‘girlfriend’ stabbed painfully into Yu Youwei’s heart.
Just three days ago, she had been Jiang Yan’s girlfriend.
Now, even if she tried to lie to herself, she couldn’t deny that she had become the ex.
During their five-year relationship, she had seen firsthand how attentive, patient, and considerate Jiang Yan was with her.
When she had just taken over HuanYu Media, the senior executives under her had been defiant and rebellious.
All it took was a phone call and Jiang Yan came running, helping her clean up the mess.
Only later did she learn that he was in the middle of a major business negotiation when she called. He’d walked away from a deal worth nearly 1 million yuan to help her.
Such an exceptional man, and it took hearing others talk about him for her to truly realize it.
Mu Wanzhou smiled, “So now you know, Miss Yu. Jiang Yan has always been a rare, high-quality man. In fact, I should thank you. If you hadn’t chosen your white moonlight, I’d still be hesitating.”
Mu Wanzhou had waited four years. Now, she had secured most of the authority within the Mu family, and no one could hold her down anymore. Visit g.com for the full chapter.
She had waited long enough and was starting to lose patience.
She had once considered eliminating Yu Youwei entirely, but unexpectedly, Yu Youwei handed over the opportunity herself.
Perfect.
The moment she found out, Mu Wanzhou had been overjoyed.
She didn’t waste any more words with Yu Youwei. With a smirk on her face, she walked straight into the office.
The receptionist, Xiao Li, didn’t stop her. She bowed slightly and stepped aside.
Yu Youwei was stunned. She turned to the receptionist and asked, “Why didn’t you stop her?”
“CEO Mu just invested 500 million yuan in our company. She’s one of our most important clients.”
“But didn’t you say no one could enter without an appointment? Did she make one?”
Xiao Li smiled, “No.”
“Then how—”
“CEO Jiang said, CEO Mu is our VIP. She can come whenever she likes, no appointment needed.”
What!
Yu Youwei felt like she’d been hit by a brick.
Just three days, and the difference in how they were treated was already this big?
Was it true? That once you break up, you can’t even meet, not even remain friends?
Her mood sank.
Jiang Yan’s coldness stung deeply.
Just thinking of him and Mu Wanzhou together in the office right now, whispering sweet nothings, made her eyes sting.
No!
Even if they had broken up, she couldn’t let another woman take Jiang Yan.
Furious and unwilling to accept it, she didn’t realize how far jealousy could drive a woman.
Then, she dialed 110.
