Take Away My Sickly Beauty [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 19

Ye Wuming and Chen Jiyu were acting all lovey-dovey in the lounge; the atmosphere between them was perfect, with pink bubbles of romance constantly popping up.

However, Hua Lingling, who had followed the observation and study team to dinner, was not doing well at all. She absentmindedly poked at the food on her plate, her almond-shaped eyes glancing left and right, wishing she could scan the face of every single person present.

She had dressed so beautifully today and applied such exquisite makeup, yet up until now, she hadn’t even caught a glimpse of Cupid’s CEO, Ye!

At the thought of this, Hua Lingling glared indignantly at Cheng Ye, who was sitting across from her.

It was all the fault of that “dear” cousin of hers! If she hadn’t been constantly sabotaging things, Hua Lingling wouldn’t have failed her mission so far. Moreover, she didn’t know what kind of tricks that old woman had used to actually make CEO Ye willing to help the Chen Corporation.

Dammit!

Furthermore, in order to outshine that old woman Chen Jiyu, she had specifically worn a pair of pinkish-white “sky-high” stilettos today to accentuate her figure.

It was because of these stilettos that she kept making a “clack-clack” sound with her heels hitting the ground during the tour. Anyone working at Cupid who heard this sound furrowed their brows, and some didn’t even hide their angry glares.

If it weren’t for the fact that the observation team was present, Hua Lingling was certain those hateful people would have kicked her out!

Feeling deeply aggrieved, Hua Lingling couldn’t help but stab the vegetables on her plate twice with her chopsticks, thinking resentfully that once she became Mrs. Ye, she would definitely fire all of them!

No, she would crush them completely so they could no longer survive in this industry!

Having just completed her “Entertainment Industry Survival Rules” assessment before taking on this mission, Hua Lingling was still stuck in character, her mind filled with that world’s notions of blacklisting and banning people.

“Lingling, aren’t you hungry?” Cheng Ye finally couldn’t help himself and tried to find a topic to draw her attention back.

Hua Lingling was already impatient because she couldn’t find her target; Cheng Ye’s words hit her right where it hurt.

Her face immediately darkened, and she slammed her chopsticks onto the table with a “snap.” Since most of the other members of the observation team had finished eating and left Cupid, she finally dared to tear off her gentle and lovely disguise.

“Eat your own food, why do you care about me!” Hua Lingling was annoyed to death by Cheng Ye.

He was useless and a chatterbox! She was looking for a girlfriend, not a nanny! Moreover, she had finally managed to come to Cupid with great difficulty, yet instead of helping her find CEO Ye, Cheng Ye kept hinting that she should go back.

“Cheng Ye, do you just not want me to succeed?!” Hua Lingling’s shrill voice drew sideways glances from others.

Some Cupid employees who had come down late and were still eating turned their heads to look at her with great dissatisfaction.

One particularly hot-tempered person even said directly, “When they said the observation team was coming, my eyelid kept twitching. I wondered if someone would cause trouble, and I guess I was right.”

“Is this just causing trouble? This is clearly trying to stir up a mess,” a female white-collar worker at the same table snorted coldly. “Have you ever seen anyone dress like that for a visit to Cupid? Never mind that gaudy outfit just those high heels of hers going ‘clack-clack’ is enough to annoy someone to death!”

“Exactly. Our team happened to be at our busiest today, and this woman was just ‘clack-clacking’ away over there! If she wasn’t with the observation team, I would have called security to throw her out long ago!”

Many people were dissatisfied with Hua Lingling. Who among those who could enter Cupid wasn’t capable and serious about their work? Acting so special in a professional setting didn’t she deserve to be scolded?

The crowd’s words were like slaps landing hard on Hua Lingling’s face. Even Cheng Ye felt humiliated, a feeling he had never experienced before.

Unable to bear it any longer, Hua Lingling grabbed her bag and left, not even calling for Cheng Ye to follow.

As she passed the people who had been talking about her, a man wearing glasses sneered and said to the female worker from before, “Some people think they’re our boss’s wife, acting special without any restraint. She probably doesn’t know our boss’s wife’s surname is Chen; only President Chen of the Chen Corporation is the ‘official’ spouse.”

“Haha, exactly. Unless President Chen dies, how could any other monster take the throne?” The female worker even started acting along with him.

Hua Lingling’s face turned ashen with rage, but because she was on Cupid’s turf, she didn’t dare talk back. In the end, she could only bark at Cheng Ye behind her, “Hurry up and let’s go!”

Information circulated very quickly within Cupid, and they were well-aware of the background of every visitor in the observation team. Consequently, many people recognized the “famous” Cheng Ye.

Regarding her current situation, these people could only sigh and say, “To give up being the Vice President of the Chen Corporation just to backstab her own cousin and become someone else’s dog. Tsk, what a bizarre hobby.”

Now, Cheng Ye also felt he couldn’t save face.

The two of them fled the Cupid building. As for how they would argue after returning, that was of no concern to the employees.

They were more interested in the newly appointed “boss’s wife.”

“I heard that President Chen is the boss’s white moonlight? The kind where she wouldn’t marry anyone else in this life?”

“What white moonlight? She is the light! Can a white moonlight compare to the sun?” Because Ye Wuming never hid her admiration for Chen Jiyu, everyone in Cupid knew about it.

It was only because of Ye Wuming’s orders that no one bothered Chen Jiyu.

The veteran employees were catching the new employees up on how important Chen Jiyu was to their boss.

“Our boss was originally the eldest daughter of the Ye family here in H City. But the boss’s father was a scumbag—not only was he a ‘phoenix man’ who married for money, but he also caused the death of the boss’s biological mother. If the boss hadn’t had the huge assets left by the Ye family, she would have been killed by that trash father of hers.”

“During the boss’s most difficult times, it was President Chen who gave her help. In the boss’s words, she became her light, her guiding star. That’s why the only person who can act ‘special’ in Cupid is President Chen.”

As for anyone else, are they even worthy?

The Cupid business empire and Ye Wuming’s title as the “Business Empress” weren’t just for show. How many people desperately sought the decision-making strategies that fell from Ye Wuming’s hands? How many people fought tooth and nail for a chance to cooperate with Cupid?

To make someone as extraordinary as their boss bow her head, even to tame herself and become a gentle companion, there must be a profound reason for that person’s importance.

Of course, that person first had to have excellent character. A woman like Hua Lingling, whose “green tea” (manipulative) scent was rampant even without being watered, wasn’t even worthy of carrying the boss’s shoes.

Because Ye Wuming always talked about her “light,” the people of Cupid would sometimes gossip and look up Chen Jiyu’s information. No one fails to admire excellence, and they also felt the two were a perfect match.

Therefore, they welcomed no one who tried to interfere in the relationship between the two!

If Hua Lingling hadn’t been part of the observation team, they wouldn’t have been so “polite” today.

Word of what happened in the Cupid cafeteria soon reached Ye Wuming’s ears. She happened to have just finished dinner with Jiyu, and upon hearing the news, she arched an eyebrow.

Her subordinates weren’t raised for nothing.

The late evening breeze was very cold; it would likely snow before long.

Ye Wuming glanced at the person coming out of the door, who was dressed a bit thin and holding flowers in one hand.

The wind blew the long hair around Chen Jiyu’s cheeks, revealing a face that looked pale due to the cold. Ye Wuming frowned, took off her own trench coat, and stepped forward quickly to drape it over her.

Only when embracing Jiyu could she clearly realize how thin and fragile this person was.

The situation at the Chen Corporation and the betrayal of her relatives were like a massive mountain weighing heavily on Jiyu.

Even though Jiyu never showed her exhaustion on her face, Ye Wuming could sense that she had reached her limit.

She needed someone to lean on, someone to protect her, and even more, someone to love her with all their heart.

The eagle, seasoned by wind and frost, had flown in harsh environments for far too long. Above were thunder and lightning, and below were circling wolves. There was not a single place between heaven and earth for it to land.

But even an eagle gets tired, and a weary bird needs to return to the forest.

Now, Ye Wuming opened her arms; she had come to welcome her flying eagle back to the nest.
