Chapter 73

"Yun Shuo, what do you mean? Stop right there!"

An Xingyue stomped her feet in anger, but Yun Shuo left without looking back.

She harvested the strange gazes of a crowd of customers in the coffee shop, felt embarrassed, lowered her head, and ran out quickly.

At this moment, she still thought Yun Shuo was playing hard to get, and he would deliberately wait for her to chase him out at the entrance, just like before.

It was just that this time, there was no one waiting for her outside the door.

Because the project the Yun family won was still going through the process, the final result hadn't been publicized, so apart from the relevant personnel who knew the inside story, others didn't know the specific situation.

Because An Xingyue had been showing off that her family's company was a sure thing in this bidding, the employees of the Xu Group all thought the An family had won the project, and whenever they met An Xingyue in the company, they always had to come up and flatter her a few times.

But An Xingyue had no heart to enjoy the flattery of those employees. Whenever she came to find Xu Rixin at the Xu Group these few days, she was always distracted, and her attitude toward Xu Rixin was not as intimate as before.

Xu Rixin naturally noticed An Xingyue's abnormality and silently guessed whether it was because of Yun Shuo's changes these few days that made An Xingyue waver.

He was worried that because the An family had won a big project now, and was about to rank among the top 50 enterprises in Jiangcheng, she had become arrogant and looked down on him, the general manager of a small enterprise.

Even though Xu Rixin never thought of letting An Xingyue become his marriage candidate, he absolutely couldn't let go of the benefits that were about to be in his hands.

An Xingyue had promised him that once the An family won this project, she would pull him in to develop it together. At such a critical juncture, he didn't allow any mistakes in the relationship between him and An Xingyue.

Thus, Xu Rixin started to show concern for An Xingyue again, his attitude became even gentler than before, and he even took the initiative to ask An Xingyue out to watch a movie.

Just as the two bought movie tickets and were preparing to enter, An Xingyue received a call from her grandmother.

An Xingyue avoided Xu Rixin and walked to the side quietly.

"Hello? Grandma, how are things at the company?"

"Xingyue, the Yun family is truly too outrageous!"

The An Laotai's furious voice came from the phone receiver: "They simply refuse to reconcile with our family. That bastard Yun Zhenting actually dared not to answer my call! I am his elder after all, yet he doesn't even give me face."

"The Yun family clearly only needs to draft a cooperation agreement to solve the An family's difficulties, but they choose to stand by and watch. This is forcing us to a dead end!"

"That old thing really doesn't care about old feelings at all?"

An Xingyue was also angry: "Sure enough, like father, like son; none of them are good things!"

"The Yun family is so unrighteous, I will absolutely not let it go!"

The An Laotai had already been overwhelmed by anger and despair:

"Yun Zhenting thinks he can sleep soundly without seeing me? He's dreaming!"

"I will let everyone see the ugly face of the Yun family clearly, so they can never hold their heads high in the Jiangcheng business world again!"

"Grandma, what are you going to do?"

"Xingyue, don't worry, Grandma will get justice for you this time!"

The An Laotai was full of confidence: "I will let everyone know that Yun Shuo is a fickle thing!"

"Grandma, don't be impulsive first, let's discuss any plans together..."

Before An Xingyue finished speaking, the An Laotai had already hung up the phone.

Perhaps An Xingyue's hideous expression was really a bit scary, Xu Rixin hesitated for a moment before walking over.

"Xingyue, the movie is about to start. What's wrong with you? Is Yun Shuo calling to harass you again?"

"No, Rixin, don't overthink it, I'm fine." An Xingyue shook her head with a pale face, but her heart was somewhat uneasy.

What's going on with the Yun family?

Wasn't Yun Shuo trying to play hard to get, forcing her to change her mind?

Why hasn't he taken the initiative to apologize to their family yet?

"Since it's not him, let's hurry in."

Xu Rixin thought Yun Shuo was pestering An Xingyue again, making An Xingyue waver, so he wrapped his arms around An Xingyue's waist and took her toward the theater.

He booked couple seats and specially chose a romance film. In this environment and atmosphere, wouldn't An Xingyue be completely manipulated by him?

That Yun Shuo had changed his dressing style these two days and was intimate with Rong Yan; did he think he couldn't see what he wanted to do?

It's just that no matter how hard he tried, he would still be his defeated opponent in the end.

Xu Group.

It was originally the weekend, but because of the annual meeting, the employees were all working overtime.

At lunchtime, because Xu Tian went out to meet a client, Yun Shuo went to the employee cafeteria to eat alone.

Employees who also came to eat saw Yun Shuo alone and discussed in low voices one after another.

"President Yun is working overtime today too, the boss didn't come."

"The boss is busy dating, so President Yun, this single dog, has to work overtime, right?"

"Looking at it this way, the rumors are true; the boss and An Xingyue are together?"

"That can't be fake. I saw An Xingyue confessing to the boss with sports car keys with my own eyes before."

"But isn't it said that An Xingyue is President Yun's fiancée?"

"What fiancée? An Xingyue has never admitted it. I guess it's President Yun's wishful thinking."

Xu Rixin naturally didn't allow rumors unfavorable to him in the company, so he asked An Xingyue to clarify that she and Yun Shuo had no engagement at all.

An Xingyue was overwhelmed by Xu Rixin's gentle attitude, and because the Xu Group had no business dealings with the Yun family, she pretended to make a call while passing by the tea room, actually clarifying that she and Yun Shuo had no engagement, and it was all Yun Shuo's wishful thinking and pestering her shamelessly.

Since the parties involved had expressed their stance, those melon-eating crowds naturally shifted their positions again.

The "deeply affectionate second male lead" persona is good to use, but if you pester someone shamelessly, that's a paranoid, and no woman would like that.

The small employees who were infatuated with Yun Shuo because he changed his dressing style also lowered their heads quickly, expressing one after another that a paranoid man like President Yun who pesters people shamelessly shouldn't be wanted, and maybe he would have a suspicion of domestic violence in the future.

Yun Shuo naturally knew nothing about these public opinions, nor did he know An Xingyue's remarks of blaming the victim in front of everyone.

After finishing lunch, he was just preparing to return to the office when he saw a small assistant running over panting.

"President Yun, hurry down and take a look!"

"What happened?" Seeing the small assistant's anxious look, Yun Shuo quickened his pace toward the elevator.

"There's an old lady making a scene in the lobby, saying she wants to see you."

"An old lady?" Yun Shuo frowned, having some guesses about the old lady's identity in his heart.

By the time the elevator reached the first floor, as soon as Yun Shuo walked out, he heard a sharp, ear-piercing, aged voice coming from the lobby.

"Where is Yun Shuo? Tell him to get out here!"

"If I don't see Yun Shuo today, I'll smash your company!"

Yun Shuo looked in the direction of the lobby and saw a short old lady with white hair making a scene.

The two vases placed at the front desk had already been smashed to pieces. The girl at the front desk stood beside the old lady trembling with tears in her eyes, and there was a clear finger mark on her face.

"Why didn't you call security?" Yun Shuo questioned the assistant beside him coldly.

"She said she is the person in power of the An Group..."

The small assistant said embarrassedly. Although there were no business dealings between the two companies, she didn't dare to offend this big figure!

"Forget it, I'll handle it." Yun Shuo suppressed his anger and walked over quickly.

When he heard upstairs that an old lady was making a scene, he guessed if it would be An Xingyue's grandmother, but he didn't expect the An family to really have no bottom line, actually running to the company to make a scene.

"Stop making a scene!" Yun Shuo's voice brought a moment of silence to the lobby, but it quickly ignited the fuse of another bomb.

"Yun Shuo, you finally showed your face!"

Seeing Yun Shuo, the An Laotai rushed over excitedly, kicking and hitting him.

"You little beast, we An family handed Xingyue to you, not for you to ruin! Now that your Yun family is rich, you want to abandon her?"

"I want everyone to know your ugly face as a heartless man today!"
