Chapter 14 Lin Jue Is Leaving

• Slap! Slap!
• Wang Sisi and Chen Xi were so frightened by the scene and they fell on their bottoms…
• They were now holding their breath… This was Jiang Chenru! The Chief Executive Officer of Jiuzhou Group! Cream of the crop in the Nanjiang City business world! But the man of such stature was taking a smack on the face by Lin Jue.
• What was more astounding was Jiang Chenru did not even dare barge at the incoming strike. It begged the question of who Lin Jue really was, for Wang Sisi and Chen Xi had only managed the imagination that Jiang Chenru was a friend of Lin Jue’s. It was absurd to still hold that imagination at this point in time. Lin Jue’s real identity must be something more astounding than a mere friend of Jiang Chenru’s!
• “Have I not said two days ago that we will continue dealing with Peibai’s company? How dare you go against my instruction? Huh?!” roared the incensed Lin Jue.
• The assaulted man suddenly jerked up his head and protested, “I’m your employee but I also see you as my brother! You may be able to brush aside your humiliations with the Shen’s but I can’t! Yes, it was my call to cut ties with Shen Peibai! You can do whatever you want to me and I won’t bat an eyelid!”
• “I don’t need you to teach me how to do things!” Lin Jue's eyes narrowed and he gave Jiang Chenru a hard boot in the stomach.
• Pfft... Jiang Chenru collapsed to the ground and a trace of blood escaped the corner of his mouth. But he struggled to get back on his feet, and then stood with his head down in front of Lin Jue.
• Wang Sisi and Chen Xi were now shock-stricken to the core with their mouths agape. How in the hell could the Chief Executive Officer of Jiuzhou Group accept all the humiliations like that?!
• “Go see to it that Jiuzhou Group resumes its business relationship with Shen Peibai’s company, pronto. Get out now…” Lin Jue sighed.
• “Yes, sir...” Jiang Chenru nodded, turned around and headed for the exit.
• On his way to the exit, Jiang Chenru paused, spun around and fixed his glare on Chen Xi and Wang Sisi. “It was all my doing. What has happened to your company has been my idea all along. Mr. Lin, whom I treat like my brother, has nothing to do with this… Humph! You… Just watch your steps… “
• Then, Jiang Chenru swaggered off. Wang Sisi and Chen Xi were still befuddled with the development of events after Jiang Chenru had left. They only regained composure after a while.
• “Lin... Mr. Lin... So-sorry... We’re sorry...We have misunderstood you...” stammered Chen Xi while apologizing to Lin Jue.
• Whether it was Chen Xi or Wang Sisi, they were shaken to the core and overwhelmed by thoughts. They did not even have the courage to sit down in front of Lin Jue. They just remained standing.
• What they had witnessed earlier revolutionized their understanding. A man who could order Jiang Chenru around. How would one think that he had married into the Shen’s for money? Such a lame joke! No, it must be because of love, true love…
• A man of his stature, like the overlord who ruled the business world of Nanjiang City, being a matrilocal husband? Homemaking for a woman? Was it even measurable how much he had loved Shen Peibai for him to do such things? All this was well beyond Wang Sisi and Chen Xi’s comprehension.
• Lin Jue frowned and apologized to the duo, “Please accept my apologies for what your company has been through. Even though I did not know about this beforehand, I am to be blamed for not pulling in the reins. Sorry…”
• “No, no, no, don’t say that! It is us who have misunderstood you… Sorry, Lin… Mr. Lin.” Chen Xi was scared to bits to hear Lin Jue apologizing to her so she bowed even lower to apologize to him.
• Lin Jue shook his head and said with a smile, “Right, forget it. Let’s think of it no more. I’m leaving this city tomorrow and please take care of Peibai for me when I’m gone…”
• Wang Sisi jerked her head up and fixed her gaze on Lin Jue. “You... Are you really leaving this city… for good?”
• Lin Jue’s eyes gave away a hint of excruciating pain he was enduring deep down. He nodded and said, “Hmm, yea… I’m taking the flight tomorrow noon. I’m leaving for good. I came to Nanjiang City for her… Is there any reason for me to stay on now?”
• Wang Sisi bit her lips. She was looking for words to say but in the end she managed to find none. Indeed, Lin Jue had come to Nanjiang City for Shen Peibai. As they were now divorced he was without any reason to stay on in the city.
• Nodding thoughtfully, he continued softly, “Oh, please keep it on the lowdown regarding my real identity. Don’t tell Peibai especially, in case she blames herself. And please keep to yourselves what I have done here this evening. I have came as an ordinary man, so I will be remembered as such when I am gone…”
• “But... Hmm… Alright...” nodded Wang Sisi, finally repressing it with a wry smile. Oh, Peibai, do you know that you have lost a splendid man!!!
• Lin Jue took a deep breath, “Alright, I shall take my leave now…” He turned around and headed off. Wang Sisi trailed behind to see him off…
• At the foyer, Wang Sisi could not pull her contemplative gaze away from Lin Jue. She did not say anything to Lin Jue. She could not think of what to say to him. Seeing his silhouette disappearing into the distance was all she could manage.
• As he walked, Lin Jue’s mobile phone sounded an incoming text.
• The message read: Mr. Lin, your reserved venue at the Crystal Palace has been set up. It will begin at ten o’clock. We wish you and your wife happiness…
• Tears trickled down his face when he read the text. It was a notification from the Crystal Palace, Nanjiang City’s best five-star hotel. He suddenly recalled that, about six months ago, he had booked an exclusive venue with the hotel!
• He had wanted to propose to Shen Peibai again at that luxury venue on the first anniversary of their marriage. He had wanted to make her the happiest woman in the world… And the anniversary of their marriage was tomorrow.
