1.11 Thrown out

Jinyan kept pacing around, waiting for A-Xuan to return. She couldn't stand in place. I can't lose him! I can't lose A-Xuan or my future will be ruined. If I find the person who posted all those pictures of me, I'm going to make him or her pay.

She called every one of her back up in case A-Xuan rejects her, but all of them hate her ever since she became official with A-Xuan.

You know what, it's fine. It'll be easy to get A-Xuan back. He just ignored my calls because he was angry, but now I'm sure he's calmed down.

They weren't even officially dating before, so it's not like she cheated on him. No, A-Xuan wouldn't reject her. He's been in love with her since high school.

She could see it and intentionally kept an ambiguous friendship, so if something better didn't come along, she'd have him.

Jinyan reassured herself. She immediately looked at the door when she heard the sound of footsteps approaching.

She watched as A-Xuan came in, his face was pale and it was like he was leaking sadness. Jinyan felt like if he didn't love her, then he wouldn't be this sad, which means she still has a chance.

She ran to his arm crying pitifully. A-Xuan tried to push her away, but she kept holding him tighter and tighter.

Between sobs, she said:

"A-Xuan, I'm sorry. I swear I never cheated on you. This happened before we were together. I've always loved you, but I thought you didn't feel the same way, so I got into different relationships to forget you. No matter how hard I tried, I still couldn't. You're the only person that I love, and the only person I want to be with. Please don't leave me."

After those words, she kept crying, and when she finally calmed down, A-Xuan pushed her away and said sadly:

"If I'm truly the only person you ever loved, you would've chased after me, not all those guys. How could you..."

Before he could finish his sentence, sobs broke in, and tears started to fall on his face.

Seeing him cry, Jinyan was now sure that she could get him back. He loves her so much that he's crying. She kept crying pitifully and said while grabbing his hands:

"I know that I've made mistakes, but please don't leave me. I can't live without you."

A-Xuan pulled back his hands and left for the washroom. Before going in and locking the door behind him, he said after taking a deep breath:

"You and I are done. Leave and don't come to my house ever again."

Jinyan watched as A-Xuan locked the door. He loves me, he is so heartbroken he's crying. She heard the deep breath he took before giving himself the strength to say what he had to say.

He doesn't want to let go of me, I'll just stay at home the next few days and give him time to forgive me. When she comes to see him again, he'll see that he can't live without her.

She wiped her tears and left for home. When she arrived at Wu mansion, she saw luggage at the front door. She walked closer and saw that it was hers.

What the hell is going on? Is Uncle going to throw me out because of those pictures? No, no he can't. She ran up the stairs and barged into Wu Jing's office without knocking.

Wu Jing, who was sitting behind his desk, looked up from his paper and said disdainfully:

"Where're your manners?"

Jinyan gulped and answered timidly:

"I'm sorry Uncle, I won't do it again."

Wu Jing sat back on his chair and crossed his arms:

"I sent the rest of your father's inheritance that you didn't squander in your bank account. Your luggage is at the front door, the chauffeur will drop you off wherever you'd like."

Jinyan said pitifully:

"I don't want to go anywhere uncle, I want to stay here at home with you."

Wu Jing sneered:

"Even when you lived here you wouldn't stay at home with me, we're practically strangers and you know that. You're old enough to find your own place. It was clear when I was made your legal guardian that I would raise you until you're an adult. Since you're adult enough to do what you did with four different men, you're old enough to live on your own."

"No uncle please listen..."

Before she could finish, two men knocked on the door. After Wu Jing invited them in, he ordered:

"Put the luggage at the entry in the car and tell the driver to drive her wherever she desires and come back."

They answered yes and left. Jinyan fell to her knees and finally the reality of the situation sunk in. She still hasn't properly secured A-Xuan and now her uncle is throwing her out.

It's fine, it's fine. I'll find a hotel to stay in and give A-Xuan time to calm down. After that, they'll get back together and he'll get her a house to live in.

She got up, bowed to her uncle and said:

"Thank you for taking care of me all those years, uncle."

She gave a sad smile and turned to leave. She walked slowly, sure that Wu Jing would stop her and tell her to stay.

But no matter how long she waited, he never said a word. She left, closing the door behind her. She can't burn the bridge with her uncle in case anything happens in the future and she needs him.

By the time she reached downstairs, everything was packed and the chauffeur was waiting for her. When she got in the car, she gave the address of the hotel she would usually stay in when she would meet one of her men.

Over the years, she used most of her inheritance thinking that she would find someone who would secure her future.

But now with what she has left, she'll only be able to stay at that hotel for a few days. It'll be more than enough time for A-Xuan to forgive her. She booked a room full of confidence.

Yunchen was sitting around the table in the conference room. The room was filled with shareholders, most of them were men in their 70s. When he heard A-Xuan broke up with Jinyan, he decided to release the adoption papers.

He found out that Jinyan's uncle chased her away and is now staying at a hotel. He felt heartbroken for her, even though he saw every picture of her adventures, he still hasn't given up on her.

When I become the heir of the company, she'll be mine. Everyone in this conference room knows why this meeting is taking place except for A-Xuan.

When the adoption paper was released, Papa Cao managed to bury the news, but not before it reached the shareholders' ears. Now everyone in the room knows that he is adopted, except the person who's concerned.

Papa Cao was sitting at the head of the table, waiting for his son. He wished no one found out about the adoption, not because he's worried about A-Xuan's reaction, but because now he has to make his useless son the official heir of the company.

With A-Xuan as the heir, he knew for sure that he was going to work his ass off and do everything he must for the company to thrive, while Yunchen already caused problems for the company.

How bad is it going to be when he's in charge? After pondering on it for a while, he calmed down and thought that it was fine. Even if he's not the official heir, he'll still be working here.

He'll still create those incredible new products that will make the company millions. Plus, when he finds out that I've adopted him, he'll be so grateful that he'll work twice as hard. Thinking that, Papa Cao smiled and watched as A-Xuan came in.
