After Trying To Pursue The Cold, Elegant Beauty. I Ended Up Being Flirted With Instead - Chapter 16

How could she not care?

In the rich, sweet scent of apples, the little assistant stood on the hospital bed, her legs trembling, her face full of terror.

Ah ah ah ah! Is this woman a lunatic?!!!

What decent person crushes an apple with their bare hands!

If nothing unexpected happens, she’ll never eat an apple again in her life.

To her, Wen Zhu was now indistinguishable from a malicious ghost!

“You… you’re so violent, it must be because you have a guilty conscience!” The assistant gritted her teeth, trying to embolden herself with a shout, “So what if there’s no evidence?! Who else but you could do such a thing?! I’m telling you, don’t think you can threaten me! I won’t yield to you! You must pay the price for what you’ve done!”

Hearing these words, Wen Zhu felt like she was about to be laughed out of the room.

“Do you have a brain?” That’s what she thought, and that’s what she said.

The question was so earnest that the little assistant couldn’t even tell if Wen Zhu was mocking her.

Her face turned from white to purple, both furious and constrained by her fear of Wen Zhu’s strength, quickly becoming flushed red.

Wen Zhu bypassed her and looked instead at Jiang Xinxin, who had been silently lying on the bed: “Are you just going to watch your dog bite people like that?”

Jiang Xinxin was also startled by Wen Zhu’s recent actions.

In front of Pei Xiubai, Wen Zhu had always been quiet, diligently and submissively arranging everything for him.

This was the first time she had seen Wen Zhu’s aggressive side.

Does this mean that Wen Zhu had always been faking her behavior in front of President Pei…

Does President Pei know?

Jiang Xinxin’s fingers tightened on the bedsheet, her slender shoulders trembled, and her tone was sorrowful and miserable: “Sister Wen Zhu, I believe tonight’s incident was absolutely not done by you. I’ve always considered you a good friend… I also didn’t know that Juzi went behind my back to complain to President Pei. Don’t worry, I’ll go and explain tonight’s situation clearly to President Pei later”

“Then you better remember.” Her words were interrupted by Wen Zhu.

Jiang Xinxin looked over, only to see Wen Zhu shaking the phone in her hand.

She looked at the phone in Wen Zhu’s hand in shock, completely unprepared for Wen Zhu to have such a backup plan.

Wen Zhu: “I recorded everything you just said. You yourself admitted that this matter has nothing to do with me, and you will explain it to Pei Xiubai. Miss Jiang, remember to keep your word.”

The hospital room immediately fell into a deathly silence.

The little assistant reacted, suddenly stood up, and her voice was sharp: “No wonder President Pei doesn’t like a woman like you! How can you be so scheming, recording at any moment? How guarded are you?!”

How could this woman have more schemes than those of them who work in the entertainment industry!

Recording at any time was a habit Wen Zhu developed from being a secretary for so many years.

After all, the business world is like a battlefield even a slight oversight could lead to her being manipulated.

Wen Zhu glanced at her, feeling even more strongly that this assistant’s brain was filled with water: “You know that if you slander me without evidence, I can sue you for defamation, right?”

“Not to mention, you just personally attacked me. If I were a little more petty, I could make sure you can’t work in the entire entertainment industry starting now.”

She added lightly, “I could even sew your mouth shut right now.”

Unless absolutely necessary, she didn’t like to use force, but sometimes she had to admit that force was indeed effective.

The little assistant couldn’t win the argument and couldn’t win a fight, so she could only glare at her, so angry her eyes were red.

Wen Zhu, however, couldn’t be bothered to watch their reaction anymore, her eyes briefly sweeping over Jiang Xinxin on the hospital bed: “Since Miss Jiang has made it clear that your injury has nothing to do with me, there’s no need for me to stay and continue taking care of you. Take care of your injury, and get well soon.”

After saying that, she stepped toward the door.

The door was half-open when Wen Zhu suddenly stopped and looked back at Jiang Xinxin, who was biting her lower lip tightly.

Her gaze was profound, “Miss Jiang, whether you believe it or not, I genuinely don’t care what relationship you and Pei Xiubai have right now. This incident better truly be just an accident.”

Jiang Xinxin’s grip on the bedsheet intensified, her fingertips turning white, almost tearing the sheet.

Doesn’t care? How could that be!

Everyone knows that Wen Zhu is madly in love with Pei Xiubai how could she not care?

Or is she just deliberately pretending not to care in front of herself, trying to seize the opportunity to declare her ownership and threaten her?

Seeing her expression, Wen Zhu knew she hadn’t taken her words to heart.

She sighed, “A friendly reminder, if you truly want to go higher and further in the entertainment industry, you’d better get a different assistant.”

Her gaze landed on the furious little assistant, her eyes indifferent, “The current one will only destroy you.”

After saying that, she didn’t look at the two again, turned around, and walked out.

With that, Wen Zhu turned and left, closing the ward door.

She had said all she could. Whether Jiang Xinxin took the advice was her own choice.

Wen Zhu had done her part and had no interest in being nosy anymore.

The air in the hospital room seemed to solidify. The little assistant angrily stomped her feet, staring resentfully at Wen Zhu’s receding figure, filled with indignation: “She… how can she be so arrogant!”

Jiang Xinxin, however, completely ignored Wen Zhu’s last few words, her gaze fixed directly on the assistant: “Juzi, did you really go to President Pei to complain behind my back?”

When questioned by her, Juzi suddenly became flustered, her eyes darting away.

But she immediately steeled herself and spoke: “Sister Xinxin, I was doing it for your own good! Wouldn’t that make President Pei worry about you more? I just can’t stand how arrogant that Wen Zhu is! She’s just a secretary, yet she dares to give you attitude. Who does she think she is?”

Hearing that Juzi was also doing it for her, Jiang Xinxin’s expression softened slightly: “But no matter what, what you did was wrong. My fall into the water was genuinely an accident, and you went to President Pei to complain without any evidence.”

She sighed, her tone carrying a hint of helplessness: “If President Pei finds out, he’ll only think I’m being unreasonable. Sister Wen Zhu has recorded it, so now we absolutely have to go and explain it clearly to President Pei.”

The moment she thought about having to go to Pei Xiubai to explain, Juzi’s face immediately fell.

“Never mind,” Jiang Xinxin gently patted her hand, softening her tone, “I’ll go explain to President Pei later, and I’ll cover for you this time. I know you did it for my sake, but you absolutely cannot be this impulsive next time, understand?”

Juzi’s eyes welled up slightly, and she looked at Jiang Xinxin gratefully, her voice full of remorse: “Wuwu, Sister Xinxin, thank you! You’re simply the best girl in the world!”

She was originally Jiang Xinxin’s die-hard fan, and it took a lot of effort for her to become Jiang Xinxin’s assistant.

Now that she finally gets to be by Sister Xinxin’s side, she must protect her well and not let her suffer any grievances!

However, the next moment, Juzi remembered Wen Zhu’s harsh words just now, and her resentment toward Wen Zhu grew stronger: “I didn’t expect that b*tch Wen Zhu to be so difficult to deal with!”

If Wen Zhu had just quietly accepted the loss, she wouldn’t have been humiliated and made Sister Xinxin apologize on her behalf!

This was all Wen Zhu’s fault!

She would avenge this grudge for Sister Xinxin sooner or later!
