Chapter 86: Chapter 086: A Man Can’t Just Sit Idle

A bold idea suddenly surfaced in Han Jingting’s mind.

Could the dramatic change in Chang Sihai’s attitude have something to do with Chen Xuan?

However, as soon as this thought appeared, Han Jingting immediately dismissed it.

After all, Chang Sihai was the president of Changqing Corporation with a fortune of two billion.

And Chen Xuan? He was nothing but an ordinary man who had achieved nothing. Without her, without the Han Family, he wouldn’t even have any means of livelihood.

How could such a man possibly have any impact on Chang Sihai?

Shaking her head in disappointment, Han Jingting got into her car and drove away.

"That woman just now couldn’t possibly be your wife, could she?"

In the cafe, after Han Jingting left, Zhao Luna gloated and asked.

Chen Xuan didn’t deny it, he nodded and said with a bitter smile, "What do you think, isn’t she beautiful?"

Zhao Luna smirked lightly, "She’s pretty enough, but she’s not good enough for you!"

Chen Xuan was somewhat surprised. Everyone around him thought he was not worthy of Han Jingting, but he didn’t expect Zhao Luna’s thoughts to be the opposite.

"Why?"

"Even I think you’re a good man. Your wife, as beautiful as me, is not as young as me nor as wealthy, yet she thinks you’re worthless. Tell me, isn’t she unworthy of you?"

Chen Xuan chuckled wryly, deeply convinced by the girl’s incredible logic.

"So you mean to say, only a good girl like you deserves me?" Chen Xuan asked jokingly.

Zhao Luna nodded seriously and replied, "Exactly. Why don’t you just dump your wife and be with me? What do you say?"

Chen Xuan was startled, realizing that he might have dug himself into a hole.

"Little sister, I love my wife very much, and we have a daughter. Unless she divorces me, I will never leave her. So, let’s refrain from making such jokes in the future."

Chen Xuan was very serious, which took Zhao Luna by surprise.

She hadn’t expected Chen Xuan to hold such value in his marriage, which seemed like a complete failure to outsiders.

Zhao Luna quickly laughed it off, "You’re such an old soul, it was just a joke. Why so serious?"

Then, Zhao Luna swiftly changed the subject, "By the way, uncle, are you free tomorrow night? A charity auction will be held at the Hanjiang Pavilion, and my dad hopes you can join us. Can you make it?"

"Of course, I can." Chen Xuan readily agreed without hesitation.

Nowadays, aside from picking up his daughter from school, he didn’t have much else to do. Besides, after the antique vase incident, he wanted to broaden his knowledge about antiques.

At the Han Family’s old house, when they learned that Chang Sihai had proactively turned down the arranged meeting with Han Jingting and even sent a contract worth fifty million, Han Chengye and the others found it unbelievable.

"What’s with Chang Sihai, wasn’t he always lusting after Han Jingting’s beauty? With such a good opportunity handed to him on a silver platter, shouldn’t he be taking advantage of it to claim Han Jingting for himself? Why would he give her up?" Han Yaru couldn’t understand it at all.

They had already planned to marry off Han Jingting as soon as possible so that one of them could take over the position of president and the other could become a department director.

But now, their plan was clearly ruined.

"Damn it, I really underestimated that Han Jingting!" Han Chengye was seething with rage.

"So what should we do now? We can’t just keep letting that bitch ride on our heads, can we? Grandma is getting old, and if she suddenly passes away one day, then we’ll never have a chance to turn the tables!"

Han Yaru was indeed getting anxious.

Every time she thought about Han Jingting being the CEO, adored and looked up to every day, while she was just an ordinary employee ignored by others, she felt extremely unbalanced psychologically.

Han Chengye snorted coldly, "Don’t worry, I will definitely not let her succeed. In the end, whoever laughs last will be the true winner for the heir to the Han Family!"

Han Yaru’s eyes lit up, "Does that mean you’ve already thought of a solution?"

Han Chengye’s smile was sinister, "Since Han Jingting is so astute and it’s hard to find flaws, why don’t we start with someone else instead..."

Upon hearing Han Chengye’s plan, a look of joy instantly appeared on Han Yaru’s face.

"If that’s really possible, then Han Jingting’s position as CEO is as good as over!"

"Rest assured, she will definitely fall into the trap!"

A confident, gloating smile spread across Han Chengye’s face, certain he had Han Jingting in his grasp.

At this moment, Han Jingting was completely unaware of the conspiracy creeping towards her. After leaving the Jasmine Cafe, she headed straight back to Han Corporation.

Since the Medicine King Hospital project had kicked off, there was a lot of work to coordinate, which meant that Han Jingting had been incredibly busy these last few days.

Just as Han Jingting was buried in a pile of documents, her phone started to ring.

Seeing the name on the phone, a tender smile immediately surfaced on Han Jingting’s face.

"Annie, what made you call me?"

Loh Anni was Han Jingting’s college roommate and best friend, but since graduation, she had stayed in the provincial city, so they met up less frequently.

"Darling, did you miss me?" Loh Anni’s voice was full of laughter, "I’m about to arrive in Huai City, aren’t you coming to pick me up in haste!"

"What, you are coming to Huai City?" Han Jingting was surprised, "Why didn’t you mention it before?"

Loh Anni giggled, "Isn’t it a surprise for you? I’ll be there in half an hour, when will you come to pick me up?"

"Um..." Han Jingting started to feel embarrassed, "Sorry, Annie, I’ve got a lot going on today and might not be able to get away."

"Ah? What should we do then? You’re not going to make me take a taxi, are you?" Loh Anni started to sound pitiful.

Han Jingting quickly waved her hand, "Of course not. How about this? I’ll have someone else pick you up, and we’ll meet up after work? How does that sound?"

"Sigh, alright then, you’re the big CEO now, so it’s normal that you don’t have time for little people like us," Loh Anni said, half-jokingly.

Han Jingting quickly apologized, "Okay, okay, it’s my fault. I’ll definitely treat you well tonight to make up for it!"

After hanging up the phone, Han Jingting was going to call Assistant Yang Shan over to pick her up.

However, Han Jingting then thought of something and pulled out Chen Xuan’s mobile number.

She was aware that given her current relationship with Chen Xuan, it was somewhat inappropriate to ask him to pick someone up for her. But the thought of him being with another woman at that moment made Han Jingting very uncomfortable.

Therefore, she decided to have Chen Xuan pick her up.

Not for any other reason, but just to keep Chen Xuan from having the time to date other women—that was enough!

Afterwards, Han Jingting dialed Chen Xuan’s number directly.
