Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

Chapter 85 Michelle Li

Jean dazed for a second and lowered her head.

Zed was not his usual this time. He didn't push her away nor was he displeased neither. Instead, he

looked happy as if he was with someone he loved.

Were they back together? Jean's face turned pale. It should be a good thing for her if they got back

together. But why did her heart hurt so much?

"Mr. Qi, this woman was bullying Eva just now."

"Sue!" Eva frowned and pretended to scold her, "Don't say that."

"But ..." She wanted to say something more but was stopped by Eva's sharp gaze.

Jean raised her head. It was so funny. They acted like they were being bullied by her. She sighed and

shook her head, "You guys are already such experts in accusing people? Why not try acting for a

career? You'll be able to use that skill to its fullest."

Eva bit her red lips as if she experienced injustice. She looked at Zed as she shook her head, "I didn't.

She wouldn't let me leave and was giving me a hard time. I wasn't planning to tell you but she ..."

Jean glared at Eva angrily. She thought it would be better if she didn't fight back but things turned for

the worse!

But what surprised her was that Zed was on Eva's side this time. Face darkened, he said with an

indifferent tone, "Don't waste your time on her. It's not worth it. Let's go."

Eva didn't expect Zed to say that. She felt extremely flattered and nodded her head instantly. She

leaned by his side and walked past Jean with Zed. Sue even gave Jean the middle finger before

following Eva away.

Jean froze in place and felt like all her energy had gone. Her heart felt like it was being pressed by a

huge stone. Even her breathing became tight.

She was not happy in the following days. She felt like she had not seen the sun light and she became

depressed. Luckily, the company had received a big project so everyone was busy, including her.

She got off work late for a few days.

It was finally the weekend. She was planning to go shopping when Michelle called her.

Michelle asked her to meet in a coffee shop. Jean used to think of her as a good friend. Since the last

call, Jean only treated her as a common friend.

The coffee shop was located in the downtown of the city. When Jean arrived, Michelle was already

there.

She saw Jean, and got up with a smile on her face, "Jean, Here you are."

"Hi. Sorry I'm late."

"It's all right. I was too early." Michelle passed the menu to her, "We haven't met for a long time. I

happened to have some time today so I asked you out. It's my treat. Help yourself."

Jean didn't ask for any food. Instead, she only ordered a glass of lemonade.

It was bright today. They sat by the window. The sunshine shot in through the window and landed on

the table. It felt very pleasant.

"Jean, I didn't think you would marry such a great husband." Michelle said with an admiring look as she

stirred her coffee. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

"I'm lucky."

"You are more than lucky. I heard that Mr. Qi loves you so much." Michelle curled her lips and said

sourly, "My life isn't as fortunate as yours. I've experienced a lot of blind dates. They either don't own a

car or a house, some even without a good career. Those who are rich, are too old, and with children."

"Isn't compatibility more important when it comes to boyfriends?"

"You've got such a great husband. Of course you will think like that. Though I am a white collar, my

salary is not so high. I can only support myself. Hence, I have to find a rich boyfriend with a house, and

also a car. This way, I won't have too much burden. Alas, you won't understand."

Jean really didn't understand. But in this modern society, people have to be realistic.

For Jean, she just wanted to find someone compatible with her to spend their life together. Different

from many others, she didn't have any interest in money and fame.

Did Michelle ask her out just to rant about her life and praise Jean for finding a good husband?

"Michelle, what do you want to see me about?" She asked directly.

Jean remembered why Michelle called her last time. Michelle asked her to put in a good word for her in

front of Zed. She couldn't have asked her out today just to hang out.

Hearing what she asked, Michelle dazed for a few seconds. The look on her face was a little awkward.

"Jean, are you still mad at me because I hanged up on you last time?" She felt embarrassed but smiled

and explained, "There was something wrong with my cellphone last time. It took a month for me to get

it fixed."

"It's ok. Never mind."

They chatted in a desultory kind of way before half an hour passed by. Jean was enjoying the relaxing

and pleasant feeling under the sun light in the afternoon.

However, Michelle could not stand it any more.

She moved her hips as she held onto the coffee cup with both her hands, "Um, Jean. I planned to take

you to a restaurant, but considering that you like it to be quiet, I picked here. Do you like this coffee

shop?"

"You picked it for me deliberately?" Jean was stunned.

"Of course. Actually I planned to celebrate with you today. I've passed the probation and got a job offer.

I'm lucky to be working at the Qi Group, right?"

She wasn't lying. Jean tightened her lips and felt a little guilty. She thought that the reason Michelle

looked for her today was about her probation. But judging the situation, Michelle just wanted to

celebrate it with her. It turned out that she was thinking too much.

Jean smiled delightedly, "Then congratulations. I still remember that you've always hoped to enter the

Qi Group since we were in the college. Now it's finally coming true."

Michelle nodded eagerly and said with a big smile, "Yeah. It was tough. Jean, Have you attended any

parties or events lately?"

She took a sip of her coffee and then looked at Jean, eyes shimmering.

Jean dazed and inquired confusedly, "No. Are there any class reunions?"

"No, I was just asking. It's been boring lately. So I'd like to go to some upper class parties. If you have

any activities like those, do take me with you. Perhaps I can meet some rich guys. Oh, right, Jean, Do

you know anyone who is available, and with good background?"

Michelle pondered for a moment and then said, "Someone like Mr. Qi, young, handsome and also rich?

Please introduce them to me. My mom have been urging me to find a boyfriend. But I don't have any

connections, so ..."

The smile on Jean's lips started to get stiff but was not that obvious. There was a hint of

disappointment in her eyes. It turned out that Michelle called Jean out with selfish intentions after all.

Michelle had a standard oval face. Her features were normal. Her eyes were like peach blossom, which

were attractive and charming. There were a lot of boys who were after her since college times but she

turned down all of them because she looked down on them.
