Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 53

Shirley smiled with satisfaction and her eyes sparkled. "Jean doesn't deserve Zed at all. The tweet on Weibo made such big trouble. Zed still believed her. Jean must have used some contemptible means to captivate Zed.

If we want to get out of this matter, we have to create a misunderstanding between Jean and Zed. The deeper the misunderstanding, the quicker they will break up.

Moreover, excellent men like Zed may be interested in a person like Jean, however, that will last only for a short period. Therefore, once they are separated, Zed won't protect her anymore, and our problems will be naturally solved. Isn't it?"

"Actually, you are seeking a good future for yourself. You want to get married to Zed and live as a rich lady. We all know your real thoughts. But Zed isn't interested in you. Even if you successfully separate them, how will you make sure that Zed will marry you?"

Everyone in the Wen house knew how Shirley truly felt. She had for long been envious of Jean only because of the person she had married. Shirley had often spoken about how her life would be had she been the one to marry Zed instead of Jean. Since Winner had spoken so candidly, Shirley didn't feign innocence. She spoke honestly as well, "It is my decision whether or not to marry Zed. Anyway, my main concern is to stop that bitch from bullying me at will with Zed's support."

"Firstly, you need to persuade our dad and mom. Remember that we are now confined at home. Although I'm going out, I expect you to keep your promise. Don't divulge my secret to dad and mom."

"How do you feel about what I have said…"

"I will talk about that with you after I return. You can rest assured. I am your brother. It goes without saying that I will always stand by you." After saying that, Winner hurriedly went to the window and looked down.

The second floor wasn't too high from the ground. And there was a partition between the two floors. Winner climbed out of the window and jumped on to the partition. Then he jumped to the ground. Since he was in good shape that wasn't difficult for him.

It took less than a minute for Winner to reach the ground.

A car suddenly approached him and stopped. Winner got in the car quickly.

Shirley shook her head reluctantly. Even if she didn't like her younger brother, Winner was still the only other man in their family aside from their father.

If Winner continued like this, he would not have the skills to lead the Wen Group in the future. If only their father believed that she were qualified enough to accede the family business.

Shirley could not help thinking about that.

Meanwhile, in the bus, Jean was puzzled. When she studied the bus routes, she had learned that it would take three hours for her to reach her destination. However, the bus that Jean had climbed in had been driving for the whole day. Jean remembered that Sonny had asked her to go to the bus terminus. But… after driving for such a long time, why hadn't the bus arrived at the terminus?

Jean looked at her watch. It was already four o'clock in the afternoon. As the bus continued on it's journey, Jean fell asleep. She had no idea how much time had passed. It was only when the sky darkened that she sensed something may be wrong.

She had sat in the bus for the whole day without stopping to eat. Since she wasn't expecting such a long travel time, she hadn't packed food either. As Jean looked around, she realized that there were only a few people left in the bus at that time.

Jean looked outside the window and found that the bus was in a desolate area. It was so deserted that she barely saw any houses.

"Driver, when do we arrive at the terminus?" she asked.

"We'll arrive there soon."

"Doesn't it only take three hours to reach Kim Village?"

"Kim Village?" The driver snorted before giving her a strange look. He pointed at the front road sign and said, "We aren't at Kim Village. This is Tube Village. Lady, you have gotten into the wrong bus!"

Jean's eyes widened when she heard the driver's explanation. She felt as though she was in a trance. What could she do now that she had picked the wrong bus?

Jean frowned as she grabbed her suitcase and the photography equipment. She informed the driver that she intended to get off. Once the bus pulled over, Jean alighted. She stood by the road sign and watched as a few cars passed by. She was quite upset. 'Oh, my god!' she thought. She actually took the wrong bus. The pronunciation and spelling of Kim Village and Tube Village were different. So how could she have made such a mistake?

Jean thought back to her time at the bus stop. There had been so many people that perhaps she had been shoved to the wrong side and didn't realize it.

Thinking of that, Jean sighed dejectedly. It was almost night. The driver had mentioned that the only other bus service in the area would be the next morning. He had also informed her that there was a town within walking distance. And so, Jean decided to find a hotel to stay for the night.

Carrying her luggage, Jean helplessly walked toward the town. She hadn't needed her wallet all this time, and so she still didn't know that it had been stolen earlier that day.

At the Qi Group's CEO's Office, Zed sat at his desk looking at some papers.

It was getting late. Outside the french windows, the sky gradually darkened.
