Chapter 239: Self-Inflicted Humiliation
Chapter 239
The moment Zhang Zhaoxue reached the top floor, out of the elevator, she was stopped by bodyguards, "This place has been reserved, please leave if you're not involved."
Zhang Zhaoxue looked up, her face adorned with a playful smile, "I am here to see your BOSS. I know him. Could you please check if he's available?"
The two bodyguards glanced at each other, having worked for their BOSS for so long, they never saw this lady before. However, one of them asked: "May we know who you are?"
Zhang Zhaoxue: "Oh, just tell him Zhaoxue is here. He will surely know." Zhang Zhaoxue was quite confident.
After hearing this, one bodyguard immediately knocked on Chi Yan's room, returned a moment later, and expressionlessly said: "Our BOSS does not know you. Please leave."
Zhang Zhaoxue looked stunned, "It's impossible. We've just been through something together", her words left things ambiguous, “could you let me see him, maybe you didn't hear clearly?”
The bodyguard continued to block their path, "Please leave immediately, or we will take drastic measures."
Qi Jie came out from Chi Yan's room then walked over, "Quickly move her away, the boss finds her bad luck!"
Zhang Zhaoxue was taken aback, then quickly flashed with a surge of anger, "What did you just say? Hey? Let go of me, let go, I'll leave on my own!”
Zhang Zhaoxue stormed out and took the elevator down. As for Chi Yan, she did not even manage to catch a glimpse of him.
The next morning, when Chi Yan walked downstairs, a woman suddenly rushed over saying, "Mr. Chi, what a coincidence." Just as she tried to approach Chi Yan, bodyguards immediately blocked her.
Zhang Zhaoxue: "Mr. Chi, I came to apologise... I'm sorry for bothering you"
Before she could even finish her sentence, Chi Yan had already left the hotel and got into his car. The bodyguards released Zhang Zhaoxue and followed in their vehicle.
In the car, Chi Yan asked Qi Jie, "Have the hotel changes been made?"
“All done," replied Qi Jie
Chi Yan nodded.
Originally, the paparazzi camping at the hotel entrance due to the rumor that turned out true, had captured the scene. By afternoon, an article titled "Zhang Zhaoxue ruthlessly dumped" was posted.
Unexpectedly, not long after the article was posted, the Chi Corporation threatened to take it down. Mostly because it revealed Chi Yan's photo, and the article wrongly claimed that the exposure of Zhang Zhaoxue's abandonment was linked to Chi Yan. However, a few had managed to capture a screenshot.
"What on earth is Zhang Zhaoxue up to? Doesn't she know that he is married?"
"Is she trying to be the mistress? How disgusting?"
"It doesn't seem like it, maybe Zhang Zhaoxue just wanted to greet him?"
"All stories start with one picture, the rest are make-believes. Without knowing the full detail, I suspend my judgment."
"No one would believe that they are at the same hotel just by coincidence!"
......
Zhang Zhaoxue's agent quickly intervened in the online discourse, "Looks like they just accidentally bumped into each other and had a small chat."
"Zhang Zhaoxue is not that kind of person."
"My beautiful sister Zhang Zhaoxue, please don't cue her, she doesn't know Mr. Chi."
"Maybe they are just friends?"
......
In Zhang Zhaoxue's room, her manager counselled, "Don't go. Mr. Chi doesn't seem easy to deal with. Moreover, you have tried twice and didn't manage to speak to him. Could it be possible you have offended him?”
Zhang Zhaoxue looked at herself in the mirror, unable to comprehend why he didn't even glance at her. She was always confident in her appearance and she knew she had a good figure.
Holding a classic red lipstick, Zhang Zhaoxue painted her lips very red. After painting, she pursed her lips and stated, “I don't believe it.”
However, when she wanted to try her luck again in the evening, she discovered that Chi Yan had already left the hotel.
Zhang Zhaoxue was disappointed.
What she did not expect was that on the way back, she surprisingly found out that she and Mr. Chi ended up on the same flight. Although they were not seated in the same row, they were both in business class.
Zhang Zhaoxue also noted several flight attendants eagerly offering water and drinks to him.
Snorting, Zhang Zhaoxue got up, swayed her hips as she walked over to Chi Yan, removed her sunglasses, and extended her slender hand, "Mr. Chi, what a coincidence. Do you remember me?"
Chi Yan, who had been reading documents, raised his head at the sound. Seeing a stranger, he looked to his aide, Qi Jie.
Upon understanding the situation, Qi Jie promptly stood up, "Madam, please return to your seat and do not disturb our BOSS. Thank you."
Zhang Zhaoxue: "Hey, I know your BOSS."
Qi Jie immediately called the flight attendant, "Please have this lady return."
The flight attendant quickly came over, smiling at Zhang Zhaoxue, "Miss Zhang, please return to your seat. Standing in the aisle is dangerous."
Zhang Zhaoxue ignored her, leaned over to Chi Yan, and cooed, "Mr. Chi~"
Chi Yan looked up and uttered one word, "Scram!"
There was a moment of silence, after which Zhang Zhaoxue quickly returned to her seat and stopped causing a fuss.
However, it wasn’t just the two of them in the business class. While no one took photos, one of the passengers posted about the incident online.
"Hahahaha, I am dying of laughter. I encountered a hilarious incident while on the plane today. A certain female celebrity, who was previously rumored to be dating a businessman, it turns out the businessman didn't even know her. They happened to be on the same flight and she even tried to speak to him, her tone was so endearing. The assistant asked her to return to her seat and not to disturb the businessman, and the flight attendant also told her that standing in the aisle was unsafe.
She cooed at the businessman, and he immediately coldly uttered the word "Scram". I almost burst into laughter, I am really dying of laughter. Hahahaha. This is taking humiliation upon oneself. Hahaha, oh my, I am laughing so hard that my stomach hurts."
“Wild guess, isn't the one recently rumored to be dating a businessman Zhang Zhaoxue?”
“Don't use initials, I'll just state it's Zhang Zhaoxue.”
“Her fans say she's naive and straightforward. Turns out it's because she's never met a man.”
“The previous rumors wouldn't have been spread by herself, right?”
“It's possible, that's so disgusting.”
“The businessman is already married, still got caught up in rumors, really bad luck.”
"Actually, I want to know what the businessman looks like? I can't see clearly online, just what does he look like that made Zhang Zhaoxue want to be the other woman?"
"What matters how they look? Money is all that matters."
"These kind of entrepreneurs usually have a very good security system. Maybe, you could find more about them on some finance related websites."
...
Just as Chi Yan got out of the airport, he saw Chu Yang waiting for him by the car. His expressionless face immediately warmed up with a smile, and then he strode towards Chu Yang, hugging him tightly, "I missed you so much."
Chu Yang reciprocated the hug, "I missed you too."
Chi Yan wanted to lean down for a kiss, but Chu Yang immediately covered his mouth, "No, we're outside. Let's go back first."
"Okay."
Qi Jie also greeted Chu Yang, "Young Madame," then sat in the passenger seat. Chu Yang and Chi Yan settled in the back seat, soon followed by the bodyguards. After everyone was settled, they all left the airport.
