Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 91

Jean was very moved and grateful to her mother-in-law for sticking up for her. It was nice to have someone support her for a change. The woman Zed would marry after divorcing Jean would be extremely lucky!

It was a pity that...

At last, Zed stood and explained to his father, "I asked Jean to work. She used to get very bored at home every day. So I asked her to do what she likes so that she can feel productive."

Only after Zed's explanation did the tense atmosphere gradually ease off.

Jean looked at Zed in surprise. She had not expected him to speak on her behalf. So Zed's sudden action touched Jean.

"I must go to work now." Zed said to his parents before turning to Jean and saying, "Come, I'll drive you to your company." After saying this, Zed held Jean's hand and led her out of the Qi family villa.

Once outside the villa, Jean let out a long sigh of relief.

"Thank you for standing up for me." Jean pressed her lips as she waited for Zed to reply.

Zed just ignored her and got into his car.

Seeing that Zed remained arrogant and did not respond to her sincere gratitude, Jean pouted her lips and rolled her eyes to show her discontent. Then she turned to walk toward the gate of the villa.

When she looked at her watch, Jean realized that there wasn't much time left before she had to be at work. It was Monday, and the customary morning meeting would start at 9:30. Although Jean was just a newcomer who had been working for only a month or so, Sonny had specifically instructed that she attend all the meetings.

Jean picked up her pace when she thought that she would be late and that would upset Sonny. Zed drove past her slowly and stopped in front of Jean.

Zed lowered the car window and gave Jean an indifferent glance before saying, "Don't you know that when you are trying to deceive someone, you should make every effort to look and sound genuine? If my parents are watching, what will they think if they see us heading our separate ways? Aren't you afraid that your actions will cause them to doubt our relationship?"

On hearing what Zed had said, Jean raised her eyebrows. His assistance was exactly what she needed to get to work on time. A charming smile appeared on her face as she spoke, "Now that you have implied that our acting needs to continue, I will accept your offer to drive me to my company. Thanks a lot!"

"You want me to take you to your company? Keep dreaming!" Zed retorted once Jean had hopped into the car. Then he drove two kilometers from the villa and pulled over so Jean could get out.

Jean was rather angry by Zed's inconsiderate behavior. "You are a really hateful man, Zed! Just wait and see. When we both return home from work tonight, I will get my revenge!" She gritted her teeth and muttered as she watched Zed drive away. When her anger dissipated and anxiety settled in, Jean looked at the time.

It was already half past eight! There was only one hour left for Jean to reach her company, or she would be late for the meeting today.

'Oh gosh!' There was only little time left. Jean quickly thought of the fastest way to get to her company. Since the company was a little far from the Qi family villa, she couldn't afford any more delays. She hoped that the traffic was light so that she wouldn't miss the meeting. Otherwise, she would be done for!

Since Zed's villa was in an affluent neighborhood, most residents used their own cars. It wasn't easy for Jean to find public transport. The fews cab that zipped past her, already had passengers.

Jean stood on the side of the road, trying to hail a cab. After waiting for about ten minutes, Jean was absolutely anxious at not having found a ride. She was about to lose her patience when a white BMW stopped in front of her.

Thrilled, Jean bent to look through the car window. She was confused when she saw that Ethan Lei was in the car.

Did Ethan change his car? Jean remembered that the last time she met him, he was driving a different car.

"Jeany!" Ethan was elated. He seemed to be very surprised to meet Jean and called to her happily.

"What are you doing here?" Jean asked. She then noticed that there was a woman sitting in the front passenger seat.

'Mandy Chen!' Jean gritted her teeth and thought.

"I was just passing by and happened to see you. Oh, what about you? Why are you here?" Ethan looked around and suddenly realized something. His face darkened at once. "Have you made up with Zed Qi?"

Jean paused at his question but did not speak. She had planned to ask him to drive her to her company if he had the time, but Mandy was in the car. Since it was early morning, it was not difficult for Jean to imagine why they were together.
