She Was The One Who Dumped Me

Gina was startled upon realizing the indifference that suddenly washed over the gentle man’s face. She trembled slightly and finally got into the back seat.

“I’ve heard that Young Master Yin doesn’t like people sitting in the front passenger seat. I now know that to be true.” She was trying really hard to alleviate the tension in the air.

The man was completely focused on the road ahead.

The scenery outside the window flashed past them as the car moved forward steadily.

“I don’t like being too close with other people,” he said.

The crown prince had once said something similar as well but look at him now. Gina raised her eyebrows and replied, “I’ll need three days to consider becoming the spokesperson of the Yinshi Group.”

These two had met by coincidence. He saw her advertisement being played on the big screen among the crowd and suddenly decided to make this woman his company’s spokesperson.

She was extremely pleased with the price and conditions offered by the other party. In fact, she was only trying to play hard to get by saying she required three days to consider.

The discussion went pleasantly until he met Li Shengxia in the hotel. It was as if he had changed into a completely different person.

“Hmm,” he replied quietly. After witnessing the scene in the room, his brain was teeming with a whole tangle of emotions that he could barely sort out.

Upon remembering that Yin Tangyi might have had a relationship with Li Shengxia in the past, Gina questioned tentatively, “Young Master Yin, do you know Li Shengxia?”

This caught him off guard. “Yup,” he finally replied flatly.

“I heard she caused a scene at your engagement party. I thought that was hearsay but turns out the both of you really are in some sort of a tangled mess.”

“Not anymore,” Yin Tangyi replied with an expression that was as still as water. He secretly wished they were still somehow related to each other.

Gina’s right foot was still hurting. She thought she found someone who could understand her upon finding out he had completely broken down with Li Shengxia. She began criticizing the latter furiously.

“Li Shengxia is a treacherous and sly woman that likes creating trouble! She could even sell herself out for money! How extremely despicable!

“I heard she’s taken the breakup fee offered by your mother. So that really happened. She’s really cheap to disrupt the engagement party after receiving the breakup fee. She really thinks every man in the world is queueing up to please her, doesn’t she?

“Her innocent appearance is a front to hide the disgusting thoughts she has in mind. It’s a wise choice that you dumped her. I don’t think she even deserves the breakup fee!”

“Screech!” The car suddenly pulled to a halt before she could finish her incessant criticism. The inertia sent her forehead into the back of the front passenger seat.

“Get out!” Yin Tangyi ordered coldly before she could figure out what happened.

Had they arrived at the hospital?

She put one hand to her forehead and another to her foot. “My foot’s hurting. Young Master Yin, can’t you help me out?” she asked while looking at the man blankly.

“Get lost!”

Her face fell as if she could not believe what she was hearing. “What did you say?”

“I want you to get lost!”

After verifying her doubt, the woman shouted angrily, “Yin Tangyi!”

He was not bothered about the woman behind him, who was shaking so much she could barely speak. His indifferent voice rang in the air.

“Who do you think you are to judge her! Altering your appearance to look like her doesn’t mean you’ll acquire her grace too. You reek of a stench of money and all you talk about is wealth and men. Aren’t you disgusted by yourself?”

She was at a loss for words. Little did she expect the man would hurl insults at her. Eventually, she spoke after a long silence yet the shock was still audible in her voice. “You.. You’re insulting me?”

“Why the f*ck are you still in my car after realizing that?!”

Gina pushed the door open hastily and Yin Tangyi quickly followed suit.

He ripped off the expensive foot mat and car seat cover in the back and threw them into the trash can nearby without hesitation as if he was disgusted by the fact that she had sat on them before.

A terrified expression instantly washed over the woman’s face.

Then, he retrieved the contract, tore it into half twice before throwing the now meaningless pieces of paper into the trash.

She finally regained her composure from this frightening and infuriating moment. “You.. You.. You.. You begged me to be your company’s spokesperson!”

The man replied flatly without showing any mercy, “Thanks for reminding me now before it’s too late. If I had only learned about your personality after we signed the contract, I’d have an expensive compensation on my hands!”

The final traces of color drained off her face within seconds.

“Besides, you got one thing wrong. I didn’t dump her. She was the one who dumped me.”

The woman appeared greatly astonished. His voice continued to fill the air.

“I’ll be waiting for her if she decides to return to me, but even if you regret your choice, Yinshi will never offer any partnership with you ever again.”

With that, he entered the car and sped into the distance.

Gina, who was left behind, began coughing hysterically after inhaling a breath of exhaust fumes. After recollecting herself, she threw the high heels in her hand at the speeding car. “Yin Tangyi, you lunatic!” she yelled.

Her high heel landed right into a police car and she was invited to the police station in a matter of seconds.

“Let go of me. Don’t you know who I am? I’m Gina the great celebrity!”

“Miss, you’re a disruption to the peace of the neighbourhood by throwing things and shouting in the streets. We’re right to bring you to the police station for further investigation. Please give us your cooperation!”

“Yin Tangyi! Ah.. Ah..” The exasperated and furious woman screamed at the top of her lungs but soon she was being pushed into the police car.

Inheritance Hotel.

It was already the next morning by the time Li Shengxia opened her eyes. She tried really hard to struggle free of Mo Nianchen last night but it was to no avail. Eventually, she fell asleep in his embrace. He was still holding her wrists firmly right this very second.

The man felt a little bit foggy-headed. He found someone lying on his chest the second he opened his eyes. Undoubtedly, he was startled to find the woman to be Li Shengxia.

Had they ever hugged each other in silence like this? She was not dodging or pushing him away. Instead, she curled up quietly in his chest like a Persian cat.

He could not recall what happened last night apart from the fact that he was drinking with Ouyang and the rest. Why would she be the person he saw when he first opened his eyes?

Simultaneously, the woman stirred thus he quickly shut his eyes and pretended to still be in sleep.

She sighed silently upon seeing the man still asleep. She had no idea how she fell asleep last night. Her first instinct was to get out of the man’s arms but she realized he was still holding onto her wrists firmly.

Was she going to keep waiting? Her voice sounded shaky when she tried calling out his name. “Mo Nianchen?”
