Chapter 138: Chapter 138: He’s Just a Jerk

"What would you like to drink, bottled water or a beverage?" Chen Xuan asked as he held them out.

However, Han Jingting’s expression was icy cold, "No need. I’m not comfortable being so at ease in someone else’s home!"

Just showing someone around a house, and he was letting people walk right in, casually drinking the homeowner’s beverages—this guy really treats this place like his own home!

"Also, you finally found such a good job, you must do it well. If you upset the homeowner and get fired, that would be a real loss!"

After delivering a pointed lecture, Han Jingting didn’t say another word and stood up to leave.

Originally, Chen Xuan had stood up for her today, giving her face in front of their classmates; Han Jingting should have been thankful to him.

But when she thought about how it was all because of him that she lost her job and was accused of embezzling funds, Han Jingting was fuming.

Watching Han Jingting’s retreating figure, Chen Xuan couldn’t help but sigh.

He knew that the affection she had shown earlier was just for show in front of others, yet that feeling remained etched in his heart.

Han Jingting, oh Han Jingting, when will you actually feel as deeply for me as you pretended to?

After leaving Lakeside Villa, Han Jingting directly drove away from Dragon Lake Prestige.

All the way, she was still thinking about the events that had just unfolded, dreaming of how wonderful it would be if Chen Xuan truly were the owner of Lakeside Villa.

Then again, Han Jingting suddenly remembered that she might have overlooked something important.

Even if Chen Xuan was just showing the house, why would someone of Lu Jie’s status behave so respectfully towards him?

Could it really be because of the owner of Lakeside Villa?

Was it not Chen Xuan that Lu Jie was truly wary of, but the owner of Lakeside Villa?

But who exactly is the owner of Lakeside Villa, to command such a level of respect from a person of Lu Jie’s standing?

By the time she got home, Han Jingting was still deep in thought.

"Jingting, what’s wrong with you, why do you look so distracted as soon as you come back?"

Loh Anni noticed Han Jingting’s state and asked curiously.

"Annie, do you think it’s possible that Chen Xuan is actually a very powerful and influential figure?"

"What?"

Loh Anni was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter, struggling to catch her breath.

It took a while before Loh Anni somewhat regained her composure.

"Jingting, I think you must be crazy with the idea of marrying a rich man. If that loser is some powerful and influential figure, then I must be the president of Earth!"

Contempt and disdain filled Loh Anni’s face.

Han Jingting could only force a smile, feeling that her own speculation was indeed laughable.

"Jingting, weren’t you attending a classmate gathering? How did you suddenly think to ask this question?"

Han Jingting did not hide anything and directly told her about the events at the classmate gathering.

"Chen Xuan? Lakeside Villa?"

Hearing Han Jingting’s recount, Loh Anni was also slightly surprised.

However, Loh Anni quickly seemed to think of something and said with a smile, "In my opinion, that guy Chen Xuan must have latched onto some rich young lady. Otherwise, who would entrust such a luxurious villa to such a loser to take care of?"

Loh Anni’s words immediately enlightened Han Jingting.

Yes, how had she not thought about that!

The first thing that came to Han Jingting’s mind was the woman named Zheng Qingxue that she had met at the police station!

Could it be that Zheng Qingxue was the owner of Lakeside Villa?

Could it be that Chen Xuan appeared there not to show someone around the house, but to live with Zheng Qingxue...

Just thinking about these things, Han Jingting’s heart couldn’t help but become frustrated.

If that were really the case, her feelings toward Chen Xuan would be far more than simple dislike.

They would be disgust!

"Alright, Jingting, since you’ve already decided to divorce that loser, it doesn’t matter whether he’s a scumbag or not, you shouldn’t care too much. Focus on your own matters first."

Loh Anni patted Han Jingting’s shoulder, trying to console her.

"I’ve heard about the situation with your company from your aunt. Since Han Corporation doesn’t want you anymore, I think the most important thing for you right now is to find a job first."

"How about this—get your resume ready today, and tomorrow morning I’ll accompany you to the job market to look for work."

Han Jingting knew Loh Anni’s suggestion made sense. Not only had she lost her job and her share of the dividends, but she also had a huge debt of twenty million to pay off. If she didn’t find a job soon, their family really would have nothing left!

So Han Jingting nodded and agreed.

The next morning, Han Jingting went to the job market accompanied by Loh Anni.

Han Jingting had graduated from a prestigious university with excellent grades and had many years of experience as a company executive. Her work capability was beyond question.

With Han Jingting’s qualifications, finding a decent job shouldn’t have been difficult.

However, things don’t always go as planned.

Han Jingting and Loh Anni had just entered the job market when they happened to bump into someone.

Han Yaru!

Today, Han Corporation was holding a large recruitment fair, and Han Yaru, who had just been promoted to the director of the HR department, was also present at the scene.

Han Jingting had not expected to run into Han Yaru here, and her expression immediately soured.

But Han Yaru was smirking triumphantly. "Well, well, isn’t this President Han? You wouldn’t be here looking for a job, now would you?"

"The wheel of fortune really does turn, doesn’t it? Just a few days ago you were the high and mighty President of Han Corporation, and now here you are, reduced to a worker hitting walls at the job market looking for employment. How pitiful! Hahaha..."

Seeing Han Jingting in such a miserable state, Han Yaru was delighted, laughing so hard she doubled over.

Han Jingting’s face was icy, "What I’m doing here is none of your business, please get out of my way!"

Han Yaru crossed her arms and snickered continuously, "Still daring to act all high and mighty in front of me as if you’re still the President!"

"You want a job, right? How about you kneel down and beg me? Maybe then I might let you be an intern at Han Corporation, hahaha..."

"You..." Han Jingting was furious.

They were after all relatives, and she couldn’t believe Han Yaru was kicking her while she was down!

"Jingting, don’t bother with her, let’s go!"

Loh Anni pulled Han Jingting away and walked past Han Yaru.

Watching Han Jingting leave, a sly smile flickered across Han Yaru’s face.

She whispered a few words to an underling beside her, and the underling’s face changed instantly.

"Director Han, are you sure about this? After all, President Han was once the President of the company..."

"Quit your blabbering. Do what I tell you, or if you don’t want to work here, then get out!"

The underling, scared, quickly nodded, "I understand. I’ll take care of it right away."

Han Yaru’s lips curled into a satisfied, cold smirk.

Han Jingting, oh Han Jingting, you liked to oppose me, didn’t you? Now you’ll see what happens when you cross me!
