You, CEO’s Secret Wife

"Yanyan?" Jian Yun blinked. She didn't expect to see Luo Yanyan here at all, and from the looks of it, it seemed that she was also on a blind date of her own.     

    

With a glance, she saw her friend sitting across a man who's around his mid-thirties. Luo Yanyan had her head lowered as her back faced the gleaming artificial lights, so Jian Yun couldn't see the expression in her face. However, there was something off about the atmosphere around them.     

    

Aside from the pair, there were four other people in the room. As Jian Yun peered closer, she could see that the middle-aged couple sitting beside Yanyan were her parents, so that meant that the other pair was the man's parents as well.     

    

It was the first time she had seen parents directly involved in a blind date.    

    

It seemed even more awkward to see that Luo Yanyan and the man hadn't said a word throughout the time she was standing there. Instead, the enthusiasm all came from both of their parents. It was as if the parents were the ones on a double date and not them.     

    

However, it seemed that the 'date' was coming to an end. As the waiter brought over the bill, Luo Yanyan glanced up to see Jian Yun standing by the doorway. Although she seemed stunned at first, she then started to shake her head helplessly–a warning that she shouldn't interfere.     

    

Jian Yun glanced back up at the middle-aged couple, and it seemed that they have grown even more heated. She could vaguely hear the words 'engagement wine set' before deciding to head out first. At this point, it might not be the best time to interrupt them.     

    

"Your friend?"     

    

When she turned around, she saw that Zhou Shaolang hadn't left yet. He raised his eyebrows.     

    

"Yes. She's my college roommate." Preoccupied with her own matters, she didn't bother to explain any further.     

    

He must have noticed it because he nodded and waved. "Then I'll head out first. Have a good night, Miss Jian."     

    

Jian Yun watched Zhou Shaolong get into the elevator, making no move to follow him. Besides, she didn't have a car, and she wanted to wait for Luo Yanyan to come out and go home with her. From the looks of it, her friend may need someone to lean onto after what she had just seen.     

    

However, it seemed that the heavens had other plans for her. Instead, of meeting up with Luo Yanyan, she was fated to meet another woman.     

    

"Jian Yun? Is that you?"     

    

Before she could see who it was, a pungent smell entered her nostrils. It was enough to make anyone faint. Wrinkling her nose, Jian Yun could hear another pair of heels tapping across the concrete. Soon enough, a more screechy voice sounded from behind her. "It really is you! Jian Yun! What a coincidence? Why didn't you say anything about coming here? We could've invited you over to eat."     

    

Jian Yun finally looked up to see a plump woman. The woman looked as if she was heading to the club with her bralette, short skirt, and knee-high boots. Even her face was caked with make-up. She squinted her eyes, unable to recognize her.     

    

"Don't you remember me? And here I thought we were friends!" The woman sighed, pretending to be displeased. "I'm Chen Yue! You remember, right? I'm the one who sat in front of you back in high school."     

    

"It's you!" Jian Yun furrowed her eyebrows. The plain girl with a pixie cut couldn't be the heavily made-up woman right in front of her, right? Time really did change people.     

    

Just as she was about to say something else, around seven or eight people crowded around her. However, Jian Yun wasn't paying attention to any of them. Instead, her eyes were fixated on the woman making her way towards her. The mere sight of her caked face made her blood boil.     

    

The woman was very beautiful. With her tight black dress and crystal heels, she looked like a supermodel. There was a certain dignity from the way she held herself, and her mere presence could send anyone in complete awe. However, the moment she caught sight of Jian Yun, her stare narrowed automatically as jealousy and hatred flashed across her eyes. She was none other than Lin Lanlan.     

    

"Lin Lanlan! I remembered how close you and Yun were back in high school! Why aren't you saying anything?" Zhang Jing, one of their classmates, interrupted, wanting to end the awkward tension between them.     

    

Chen Yue, who was aware of their feud, tried her best to pull the woman behind her, but it seemed that Zhang Jing didn't get the hint. Instead, she barked out a laugh and clapped as if she had just discovered something. "Wait! Jian Yun, I remembered you dating Xu Haiyang! I still remember how he chased you around back at school like a little tamed puppy. It was adorable!"     

    

"Shut up! Haven't you seen any of the chat logs?" Seeing the way Lin Lanlan's face had darkened, Chen Yue hurriedly scolded the woman.     

    

Upon seeing the strange and uncomfortable looks on everyone's faces, Zhang Jing quieted down almost immediately.     

    

"Jian Yun, it's been a long time." Lin Lanlan smiled, acting as if nothing had happened between them. She walked up to her and wanted to hold her hand. "It's been six years since we last met. You still look the same, as beautiful as always."     

    

"Hm. If there's anything else, I'll be leaving first." Jian Yun avoided her hand, suppressing the urge to slap her in the face. How dare she approach her after everything that had happened between them? She clenched her fists, digging her nails into her palms hard enough that she was afraid she'd draw blood. So many terrible memories flashed back in her mind as if reminding her of her own idiocy.     

    

"Well, since you're here, why don't we sit down and catch up?" Chen Yue insisted, catching the glint in her friend's eye.     

    

"I still have other things to do."     

    

"Oh please, don't tell me you'll be chasing after that guy!" Lin Lanlan snorted.     

    

Jian Yun ignored her and pressed the button on the elevator. It didn't matter if the elevator would suddenly drop down on her. Even the afterlife was a better destination than this place. Just being with Lin Lanlan was like meeting the devil himself. That is if the devil had taken interest in red lipstick and branded bags.     

    

"Jian Yun, we haven't met in many years. I didn't expect that your bright ambition has been reduced to just dating any willing man on the street. What? Is Auntie still forcing you to find a man stronger than Xu Haiyang? To find a better man than him? Hm, I guess you're fresh out of luck in that department." Lin Lanlan sneered. The moment she had seen Jian Yun in the lobby, she couldn't help but be irritated. It's been years, and Jian Yun still hadn't changed. She was still incredibly beautiful. Even the man that just left on the elevator couldn't even properly focus! As if there was anything special about that bitch!     

    

Hearing her words, Jian Yan felt a burst of anger scourging through her chest, and her gaze turned cold. How dare she bring that up?     

    

Having enough, she turned around and glared at them with disdain. "If you haven't mentioned it, I would've already forgotten what you've done," she said snidely. "Remember the time you went on your knees just to beg me to give him to you? Hmm, I guess another woman's trash can also be another woman's treasure. Tell me, how are you and Xu Haiyang doing? I mean, weren't you pregnant when you left the country?"     

    

She used this time to deliberately glance at Lin Lanlan's flat stomach. "I assume that by now, both of you have married, and as for your child, he must be six-years-old now."     

    

As these words left her lips, everyone became silent. Only a few people knew of what had really happened back then. When Xu Haiyang broke up and went abroad with Lin Lanlan, everyone had assumed that it was Xu Haiyang who had dumped her. They didn't expect that it was the other way around.     

    

"Oh, stop it would your bullshit!" Chen Yue spat. "It's clear that Xu Haiyang doesn't want you!"     

    

"You know very well who's spouting bullshit between us." Jian Yun sneered, staring at the ugly expression etched on Lin Lanlan's face.     

    

Jian Yun had never been a mean person, but she would not tolerate them bullying her.
