Chapter 14: A Passerby in a CEO Romance Novel (4)
Love Cafe
There weren't many people in the restaurant, only a few tables.
Le Yan and You Wenwen sat by the window, facing each other.
Originally, You Wenwen wanted to sit next to Le Yan, but Le Yan refused, saying, "If we sit on the side, it will be difficult for us to talk."
After thinking about it carefully, You Wenwen realized that this made sense, so she parted ways with Le Yan with some regret.
As soon as she sat down, You Wenwen eagerly pulled a contract out of her bag and placed it in front of Le Yan, saying proudly, "Le Yan, look, the contract I promised you is ready. As long as you come to my side, you'll get five million a month. I promise I won't lie to you!"
Five million is nothing more than a few of her daily pastimes; it's not much money at all.
Looking at her acting like she was treating five million as if it were five hundred, Le Yan couldn't help but want to laugh.
It's a classic case of some people dying of thirst while others are drowning in floods. She still says the same thing: what difference does one more rich person like her make to the world?!
Although it is indeed very tempting, after all, five million a month is sixty million a year, and six hundred million in ten years!
But there's no such thing as a free lunch, and she didn't believe that such a good thing could really happen to her.
And why her?
“Ms. You, please take the contract back. I’m doing quite well working for Mr. Gu.”
Le Yan pushed the contract back to You Wenwen, who looked on with bewilderment, and Le Yan smiled as she refused the offer of five million a month.
You Wenwen narrowed her eyes instantly. "Did Gu Yunting threaten you?"
She knew it; Gu Yunting was no good person!
“My dear Leyan, don’t worry. Our You family isn’t afraid of the Gu family. Just stay with me and I’ll deal with Gu Yunting.”
Although the Gu and Shen families are the most prominent families in Jiangcheng, the You family is not weak either.
You Wenwen was very serious. If Gu Yunting were in front of her, she probably would have already rushed up and hit him.
This made Le Yan chuckle. She quickly shook her head and explained, "No, President Gu didn't threaten me. I just know my place. Five million is not something I can take."
“Miss You, if you want someone to accompany you, there are plenty of people to choose from, why choose me?”
Le Yan was really curious about this. She always felt that her life had become more and more magical ever since she joined the Gu Group.
Unexpectedly, she remembered the book she had judged to be a fictional story. She had actually met most of the main and supporting characters in the book, but none of them matched the character descriptions.
Gu Yunting in the book is a cold, ruthless, neurotic, and domineering CEO who loves both innocent girls and Tian Liang Wang Po. He also exudes a cold aura at the drop of a hat, like a refrigerator.
In the book, You Wenwen is a vicious female supporting character who is obsessed with Gu Yunting. She attacks anyone who gets close to Gu Yunting indiscriminately. Her methods are so cruel that she kidnaps the innocent female lead several times, trying to dig out her heart and lungs and bury her alive. She carries at least half of the Criminal Law on her back.
As for the real Gu Yunting and You Wenwen...
A domineering CEO who even posts online seeking help to woo someone, and a rich young lady who remembers to sign a contract when poaching someone with an exorbitant offer—they're nothing like the characters in the book.
Le Yan shook her head inwardly and immediately tossed the book that had suddenly appeared behind her back.
She kept looking at You Wenwen, waiting for her reply.
Being stared at by the person she liked, and hearing them ask her why she had chosen her so firmly, You Wenwen's heart pounded, her cheeks flushed instantly, and her eyes darted around evasively.
After hesitating for a moment, she raised her eyes, which were filled with spring water, looked directly at Le Yan, and whispered, "Because—I like you!"
She was both shy and brave, her eyes burning as she gazed intently at Le Yan, hoping for her reaction.
Upon hearing this, Le Yan was first stunned, then her eyes widened, and she looked down at herself in disbelief before saying in a trembling voice, "You...you're serious?!"
Le Yan was incredulous, but You Wenwen nodded with absolute certainty, "I like you, I like you so much!"
At this point, Le Yan completely lost her composure. She stood up abruptly and said sternly, "Miss You, you can't just say things like that. Please don't make fun of me!"
They've gone mad, really, they've gone mad!
Le Yan refused to believe what You Wenwen said, but her damned intuition told her that You Wenwen wasn't playing a trick on her.
You Wenwen was speaking from the heart.
But that's even more dangerous.
Gu Yunting in front, and You Wenwen behind—did they both take the wrong medicine?
Gu Yunting is at least a man, but You Wenwen is the same gender as her!
Le Yan never knew that she could actually attract other women; she's really something!
The more she thought about it, the crazier the world seemed. Le Yan immediately decided that she wouldn't go to work today. She would go to a temple to pray, purify her soul, and check if there were any evil spirits around her. Otherwise, she would really have a hard time.
Having made up her mind, Le Yan turned to run, but in the instant she turned around, she bumped into someone.
Caught off guard, she fell backward. You Wenwen was horrified and quickly got up to catch her, but she couldn't.
Because Leyan didn't fall down, she was pulled back by someone.
It was the person she bumped into. "It's you! Assistant Yue, we meet again!"
Le Yan looked up, still shaken, and saw a familiar face. "Miss Jiang?"
Jiang Wandie held Le Yan's hand tightly, helping her to stand firmly before letting go. She smiled and nodded, saying, "It's me. I'm sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going and bumped into you."
Le Yan shook her head. "No, I just wasn't paying attention."
She was so focused on escaping the scene that she didn't even remember to check if anyone was behind her.
The two stood face to face. You Wenwen had already come over aggressively. She glanced at Jiang Wandie warily before looking at Le Yan with concern.
"Leyan, are you alright?"
She asked questions and even reached out to check Leyan's body.
Startled, Le Yan quickly stepped back, reaching out to block her, and shook her head vigorously: "It's okay, I'm fine."
Hurt by Le Yan's resistant attitude, You Wenwen withdrew her hand with a bitter expression, unsure of what to say.
If she had known that Leyan would be so resistant, she wouldn't have told the truth.
Feeling frustrated, You Wenwen caught a glimpse of Jiang Wandie beside her out of the corner of her eye, and suddenly found an outlet for her frustration.
She glared at Jiang Wandie, her eyes fierce, "It's you again! You've already been kicked out of the Gu Group, what are you still doing here?"
"Tell me, are you planning to do something bad?"
She didn't believe things could be such a coincidence that Jiang Wandie just happened to bump into Le Yan. It was definitely premeditated.
Feeling the overwhelming hostility, Jiang Wandie trembled, bit her lip lightly, and answered timidly, "I didn't. I'm a waitress here. I didn't mean to do anything bad."
Her eyes were red, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she looked at Leyan with a pitiful expression, her eyes brimming with tears.
"Assistant Yue, believe me, I'm not the bad woman Miss You described..."
