Chapter 124 The higher you climb, the harder you fall.
Lian Jiaorui, acting like a president's wife, came to the company to find Wen Tingye. Unfortunately, everyone happened to witness Wen Tingye and Ning Yao's affection, and no one paid any attention to Lian Jiaorui, the woman who claimed to be Wen Tingye's wife.
The company receptionist used to be quite polite to Lian Jiaorui, after all, Lian Jiaorui had accompanied Madam Wen to the company before, and she had seen her before.
But things are different now. Premier Wen's official girlfriend came by today, and she's still in the cafeteria upstairs.
If she were Lian Jiaorui, she wouldn't have the audacity to call herself Wen Tingye's wife; wouldn't that be humiliating and a slap in the face?
The receptionist's indifferent tone infuriated Lian Jiaorui, so she immediately called Wen Tingye's assistant to explain her purpose.
The assistant was busy and was a little unhappy when she received Lian Jiaorui's call. She thought to herself: This woman is really eager to throw herself at me.
He originally didn't want to go downstairs to greet this arrogant young lady, but Lian Jiaorui claimed that she was sent by the old lady.
The assistant went to greet Lian Jiaorui and brought her to the cafeteria, which led to the scene where she saw Ning Yao and Wen Tingye having dinner.
Just as Wen Tingye was scooping a spoonful of tender egg into Ning Yao's plate, Lian Jiaorui suddenly stopped in front of the table, staring at Wen Tingye's actions in surprise.
"Tingye, how could you indulge her and let her eat this kind of thing?"
"What kind of thing?" Wen Tingye frowned and said coldly, glancing at Lian Jiaorui with some displeasure.
Upon hearing Lian Jiaorui's voice, Ning Yao paused slightly, looked up at her, and her eyes were full of suspicion.
What do you mean by eating this kind of thing? What's wrong with it?
Lian Jiaorui felt jealous when she saw Ning Yao's face, which was full of collagen.
How could she be born so beautiful? She must have had plastic surgery. Didn't she look completely different before?
Since Lian Jiaorui met Wen Tingye, she has never seen him eat in a place like the cafeteria. He usually has a chef who orders recipes and cooks for him.
Therefore, she concluded that Wen Tingye was dragged to the cafeteria by Ning Yao, and that he was probably unwilling to do so.
"Ning Yao, don't think that just because you've taken over Ning's Company and become a major shareholder, you're someone important. You're only fit to eat in the cafeteria!"
"It's one thing for you to be low-class, but you also drag Tingye down with you and make a fool of yourself. He's the president of the group..."
Lian Jiaorui's words drew dissatisfaction from the employees who were eating in the cafeteria.
Is eating in the cafeteria considered low-class?
Where does this woman's sense of superiority come from?
Did she only eat delicacies from childhood, and find that the food of ordinary people was unpalatable to her?
Moreover, the canteen of Wens Group is famous in the capital for its top-rated food; many people want to eat there but can't get a table!
The assistant couldn't stand it anymore and walked over to Lian Jiaorui, giving her a gentle but irritating reminder.
"Ms. Lian, apart from going out for business dinners, Mr. Wen always eats lunch in the cafeteria. Is there a problem with that?"
Lian Jiaorui was speechless. She looked at her assistant, a hint of embarrassment flashing across her face.
Wen Tingye always eats Chinese food in the cafeteria, so why didn't she know?
"Why are you letting just anyone into the company? Tell the receptionist and security guards downstairs not to let anyone from outside the company come and go as they please, especially people with the surname Lian." Wen Tingye said to his assistant in a deep voice, his eyes flashing with a chilling aura.
Lian Jiaorui was stunned by his gaze, her legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground. She gritted her teeth and steadied herself, thinking that Wen Tingye was still in the dark about Ning Yao's fickle nature. If he knew about that matter, he would definitely not like Ning Yao anymore!
"Tingye, don't be fooled by Ning Yao. She's still entangled with her ex-boyfriend and is now trying to seduce you. She's a promiscuous, shameless woman!" Lian Jiaorui pointed at Ning Yao with an arrogant and venomous look in her eyes, as if she wanted to shoot several black holes into Ning Yao.
Now she wanted to see how Ning Yao could explain herself. What men can't stand the most is being cuckolded. Ning Yao not only cuckolded him, but also made it to the trending topics, becoming the talk of the town. Knowing Wen Tingye's methods, he would definitely be furious and make Ning Yao pay.
"Miss Lian, haven't you seen the news from half an hour ago?" Wen Tingye put down his knife and fork and slowly wiped his hands with a white damp towel.
News? What news?
Lian Jiaorui didn't understand Wen Tingye's meaning. She had just seen the news and learned that Ning Yao was having an affair with her ex-boyfriend, so she came to the company specifically to find Wen Tingye, hoping to personally expose Ning Yao's true colors and let Wen Tingye see things clearly.
Ning Yao was also completely bewildered. Was there any news about her half an hour ago?
One woman was busy getting to Ning Yao's place and the other was busy enjoying the delicious food at the Wen's Group's canteen, so neither of them noticed any developments in the news.
The assistant, with great shrewdness, took out his phone, cleared his throat, and said with a hint of pride, "Ms. Ning Yao, the legitimate girlfriend of the president of the Wen Group, is being harassed by her ex-boyfriend. President Wen has personally stepped in to protect his beloved wife."
"The president of Wen's Group and Ms. Ning Yao showed their affection in a high-profile manner at the company. The two dined in the cafeteria, and President Wen peeled shrimp for Ms. Ning Yao."
"Young Master Shen claimed at the hospital that he would never dare to harass Miss Ning Yao again and expressed his deep regret for his rude behavior."
"These are all headlines that came out fresh half an hour ago. Miss Lian, please feel free to open any app to view them. Miss Ning Yao is the victim. Her ex-boyfriend kept showing up. Of course, that gentleman has already been dealt with peacefully by our CEO, Mr. Wen," the assistant explained to Lian Jiaorui.
Lian Jiaorui was shocked. She took out her phone and opened several apps, and the results matched exactly what her assistant had said.
If it weren't for Wen Tingye's approval, these news media outlets wouldn't dare to report on his privacy so casually, let alone name him.
With many spectators around, Lian Jiaorui blushed and paled in turns, unable to get off the stage at all. She didn't know whether to leave or stay, and was extremely embarrassed.
Her eyes darted around, and she immediately switched to a wronged expression, her eyes reddening, looking exactly like a virtuous wife who had been abandoned by her husband.
"Tingye, I am your fiancée, you can't treat me like this!"
"Oh? How come I didn't know that I, Wen Tingye, had a fiancée?" Wen Tingye retorted coldly, showing no respect for Lian Jiaorui.
Lian Jiaorui felt guilty. Wen Tingye himself had never acknowledged her existence. It had always been her who unilaterally claimed to be Wen Tingye's fiancée. Since Wen Tingye hadn't asked anyone to clarify, she naturally assumed that Wen Tingye had tacitly agreed.
"Old Madam Wen said that I am your only legitimate fiancée, and she has only ever acknowledged me, Lian Jiaorui, as her daughter-in-law." Lian Jiaorui had no choice but to bring up Old Madam Wen to save face.
Upon hearing this, Wen Tingye indifferently put down the wet towel in his hand, raised an eyebrow and glanced at the employees in the cafeteria, and then spoke in a deep voice after a while.
"My marriage is none of anyone else's business. I will only have one Mrs. Wen in my life, and that is Ning Yao."
The employees in the cafeteria who witnessed this scene suddenly burst into applause, the men especially enthusiastic.
Ning Yao, such a beautiful and pure girl, was actually bullied by that wicked old woman Lian Jiaorui. If President Wen hadn't protected Ning Yao, they would all have wanted to speak up for her.
Ning Yao doesn't seem like a promiscuous woman at all. On the other hand, Lian Jiaorui always dresses indecently and speaks in a deliberately coquettish voice. More than one person has seen her seducing Wen Tingye at the company. Despite having no real status, she claims to be Wen Tingye's fiancée. She must have secretly received a lot of benefits from others.
Ning Yao was startled by Wen Tingye's sudden declaration of ownership. Her fingers loosened, and the fork holding the pasta fell back onto the plate, splashing a few drops of soup onto the back of her fair hand.
Lian Jiaorui watched helplessly as Wen Tingye took Ning Yao's hand and gently and considerately wiped the soup stains off the back of her hand with a damp towel. Her heart was filled with bitterness. She rolled her eyes at Ning Yao and turned to leave angrily.
If she doesn't leave soon, she'll probably make the whole family lose face!
There's plenty of time ahead. Wen Tingye is only interested in Ning Yao right now; he's just in the mood for it.
The higher you climb, the harder you fall. She wanted to see if Ning Yao could still laugh after Wen Tingye's novelty wore off!
