Encountering my cheating ex at a banquet, how can I act elegantly to make him regret for a lifetime?
Online and waiting!
Urgent!
With her head bowed, Ran Nian sneakily typed these words on her phone. The boss, who was already drunk, suddenly called her by her full name.
"Ran Nian, come quick, give a toast to our CEO Shen."
Damn, she wished she could hide under the table. How could he still see her?
With her scalp tingling, Ran Nian had no choice but to get up, feeling even worse than if she were attending a funeral.
Now she had no boyfriend to save the day, wasn't stunningly beautiful, and was just an ordinary employee. Yet her ex, Shen Tangchuan, had become the CEO of the partnering company!
Why did she have to encounter him under such circumstances?
Seeing Ran Nian's fair face, Shen Tangchuan couldn't help but loosen his collar, his eyes raking over her face and body greedily.
"Hey, this is our new college graduate, Ran Nian, a top student from A University. This fine young man is our esteemed CEO Shen. We owe a lot to Shen for this collaboration, so we ought to thank him."
Whatever the boss said went, and Ran Nian summoned the courage to pick up her glass as if it were a bomb.
"Nian Nian is still a student, let's substitute her drink with a soft drink." Shen Tangchuan pretentiously played the good guy before everyone.
She used to love it when he called her "Nian Nian", as if he cherished her, but it was all a ruse. He dumped her when she was at her lowest, making her the biggest fool in the world.
Ran Nian tightly gripped the glass of wine in her hand, reluctantly looking at the scumbag in front of her.
"I really don't want to see this, seeing too much really hurts my eyes."
Shen Tangchuan stood up.
The face that Ran Nian once deemed as a gentleman, in her eyes now, only two words remain, 'lewd.'
She still remembers the last encounter; he had announced as soon as they met, "I want to start over with you."
He had this arrogant look, as if he was bestowing a favor upon her, firmly believing she would be grateful to tears, ready to follow his command. It's as if the uglier a person gets, the more pleasant he becomes in his own mind.
"Have you forgotten how you dumped me back then? Have you forgotten that you're married now? You're playing around like this, does your wife know?"
Shen Tangchuan’s gaze was seemingly affectionate, but in actuality, extremely nauseating. He looked at her, "Although I can't offer you marriage, my heart is all yours, what more do you want? Be with me, I can give you a lot of money, your mother's hospital expenses, and even the costs for your further studies abroad. Don't be stubborn."
This man had cheated on her back then, and now he's a married man, how could he even have the face to say such things?
Ran Nian felt nauseous, almost puking out the New Year's dinner she had last year!
The scene switched back to tonight.
"Thanks for your kind intentions, President Shen." But these are the 'considerations' she doesn't value!
Ran Nian raised her head and drank all the white wine without leaving a drop, her actions swift and decisive.
A surge of heat instantly swept up her throat and filled her entire stomach.
Shen Tangchuan raised an eyebrow secretly, shooting Ran Nian's boss an unfriendly glance.
The boss immediately said displeasedly to Ran Nian, "Why is your generation so reckless?"
As soon as the boss spoke, Ran Nian dared not defy her. The internship wrap-up report hadn't been given out yet, it all depended on the boss's grading.
Ran Nian nodded numbly, feigning a smile towards Shen Tangchuan, "Thank you for your concern, Boss Shen." Although she accepted the drink, she didn't seem interested in drinking it.
Anticipating her reaction, Shen Tangchuan arched an eyebrow and smirked maliciously, expressing a double entendre, "I wonder how long you can hold on to it."
As a patient hunter, he believed it would be easy to win over the current Ran Nian. He had money, power, and career after all.
Ran Nian clenched her fists, her nails digging deeply into her palms, revealing a hint of fear under her facade of calmness.
How amusing, did he really think she was using the strategy of retreating in order to advance?
