CEO Vengeful Wife Chapter 231: Not getting my approval

Chapter 231: Not getting my approval

There was a reason behind Jing Lihua's cold attitude towards this Zhou Liqin. And that reason was linked to what would happen in the future.
Because of Su Liwei, Jing Lihua had distanced herself from her friends. In their matters, despite knowing a lot, she had been unable to intervene last time. At the point in time, when she was forced into the position of no return in her last life, this had become one of her greatest regrets. Now that the opportunity presented itself to reverse the situation, why would she step back?
The relationship between Zhou Liqin and Zhao Liying came to a bad ending.
Jing Lihua knew this because in her last life the thing had circulated for countless days in the mainstream media. And the whole thing had turned out to be traumatic for Zhao Liying. Not only on the psychological level but on her career level.
Recalling the specific memory, how the media had barked obscenities and all sorts of accusations against Zhao Liying for days and how she was forced to listen to those disgusting lies wherever she went, Jing Lihua blood started to boil. Her expressions turned pretty sour.
That went without saying that her experience with Su Liwei had given her a proper understanding that what a failed relationship could do to you.
It was only because of Li Zhiqiang's unconditional, deep love that she could recover.
If Jing Lihua could see her teenage self, she would have slapped her out of that obsessive love for Su Liwei.
Now when she saw Zhao Liying sailing the same boat, she did not know what to do.
'People in love are very gullible. This is the start of their relationship and the things tend to be more passionate at the start. Now, if I say something to Zhao Liying against Zhou Liqin, there are more chances that she would turn against me than listen to me.' Thinking of that Jing Lihua sighed in her heart.
One thing was certain. Since she was true to Zhao Liying, Jing Lihua would not let her jump into this so easily.
That meant...this Zhou Liqin was not getting her approval.
Once Jing Lihua left without saying or listening to another word, Zhou Liqin stood frozen on his spot. Moving his fingers through his hair in frustration, he dialed up to Zhao Liying. "Y-Ying'er...coughs...I think I might have messed up a little...bit."
"What happened?"
"Your friend just walked away from him with very...scary expressions."
"Wait...why?! Jing Lihua used to be unreasonable in the past but since her marriage, she had been very sensible. Could you explain in detail what happened?"
Zhou Liqin narrated the whole incident making sure to have himself sound 'positive' as he could. In the end, Zhao Liying could not grasp what had gone wrong. She sigh
ed. "I will try to arrange for an official meeting between you two."
Zhou Liqin detected the frustration in her tone. "Ying'er... I'm sorry..."
"It's not your fault." Zhao Liying smiled. "You two just have some misunderstanding. Once we clear it, we will be good to go."
Or so...she hoped.

He Zhouyan and Lang Lan speculation had been right. After the initial excitement of Zhou Liqin's appearance dissolved, the object of discussion soon shifted towards the drama that Lang Lan and He Zhouyan had created. Now, they could not converse with anyone without having to suffer the painfully obvious mockery in their eyes.
Even Su Xuefang started avoiding them.
This outcome was truly embarrassing!
It could have been tolerable for He Zhouyan. But for Lang Lan, who had always held her head high in the upper social circle, this was humiliating.
In frustration, she walked out of the venue. Out in the isolation, she could finally take a breath in relief. God forbids, she had never felt such anger at anyone. She had specifically come today to get even with Jing Lihua; that was her sole purpose.
And the outcome? She ended up making a total fool of herself!
"Lady Lang, are you alright?" Her attendants had been waiting outside all the time. Once she appeared, they quickly came to her side.
"Lady Lang, what happened? Did someone bully you?"
"Oh my God, you look so pale. Do you need me to get an appointment at the hospital?" She tried to assuage her after witnessing her ugly expressions.
"Hospital? Haha!" Lang Lan was at the brink of breaking down. "Have I really been reduced to such an extent by that wench that now I have to go to a hospital?"
"Lady Lang, what are you talking about? Just share with us we will take care of it." The attendants could tell that someone might have bullied Lang Lan. Under normal circumstances, they would have suggested using Mr. Heng's help. But since the relationship between them deteriorated, it was not an option any longer
Just at that point, a white figure emerged from a corner. Something ignited in Lang Lan's eyes once she recognized her. Without wasting a second, she picked up a refreshing from the serving tray and shoved it into one of the attendant hands.
Lang Lan quickly whispered a few words to the bewildered attendants. "Go and do as I instructed."
"Lady Lang..." The attendants appeared to be hesitant after hearing out their lady. They exchanged a look with each other before saying: "Forgive us but that Lady is pretty powerful. Besides, she does not really have a merciful reputation we don't want to...
get in trouble."
Lang Lan was definitely not in the mood to listen to nonsense. "I will hold your back. Just do as I say. I will double your income this month. Alright?"
That was all they needed to hear. At the generous offer, the slight hesitation disappeared from their eyes at once. Instead, greed glimmered in their eyes. Coming to a mutual understanding, they made their way to Jing Lihua.
Lang Lan smirked.
'Getting out, you are sure to be filmed by reporters after that splendid appearance you made being escorted by a superstar. Did you enjoy the limelight? Let's see how you walk out with the same arrogance you walked in.'
