Chapter 256 - Third Person Plural Past Tense

"No, I had some blackmailing material on her," Danny smiled, "I threatened her that I would tell Young Miss about how she wrote a letter to her school crush using Young Miss's name. That crush of hers later pestered Young Miss for two weeks until she asked for your help in it." 

Han Jian Yu laughed, "Both of them were silly. Well, they are still silly,'' He paused for a moment before asking, "Why did they break up?" His expressions turned solemn.

"Uhh...Boss...When Young Miss was in her 2nd year of Higher Secondary, Jun Zihao suggested the breakup. Young Miss was shocked because there had been no issues in their relationship and everything was going well between them. Miss Shi said that Young Miss was even considering introducing him to you as her boyfriend,'' That was the year when Han Jian Yu skipped two whole semesters and directly sat in the final exams for graduation before he officially took over the position of the President of Amaranthine.

Han Jian Yu tapped his fingers on the desk, impatience growing on his face. 

''That year, the Jun Family arranged an engagement between the governor's daughter and Jun Zihao, leaving him with no other choice left than breaking up with Young Miss who was left heartbroken by his attitude."

'Bam'

His hands glided up on the glass desk throwing all the files and the laptop off to the floor, "Spineless Jerk!!" His cold voice thundered in the study. 

Danny and Sunny flinched slightly. No wonder their Young Miss asked the Boss to not look into his matter, she even made him make a promise that he won't ask anything about her ex or what happened between them. She knew it that once the man got to know about his identity and the way he treated her, he would not hold back from destroying the royal family which was already on the decline at that time because of the man behind Eminence.

Han Jian Yu massaged the space between his brows. That year, his usually lazy sister transformed into a bookworm and begged him to teach her so that she could do better in language subjects. Now, he understood the reason behind it.

It was because she wanted to join Crystal University, the best University in Amaranthine where he graduated from and it was also one of the top universities in the world. The University Jun Zihao was in was the second-best in their country and she did not want to go to the same university as her ex. And she knew that he would not let her leave abroad. So, as someone who never settled for average things, she stubbornly persisted through 6 months of hellish revisions and studies under his tutelage so that she could join the best university.

And she was already blessed with an extraordinary IQ. With his guidance in the language subjects, she easily made it to Crystal University.

He could not back to Amaranthine right now and it was not the right time to play with that crappy royal family. First, he had to deal with that model named Mia. Then, he had to meet his sister before she started whining about his negligence towards her. And after that, he would like to deal with that jerk who treated her like that in the past.

''B-Boss, at that time, Young Miss insisted on knowing the reason behind the breakup, and Jun Zihao revealed his identity to her. He..."

Han Jian Yu raised an eyebrow. There was even more left to it?

''He said that his family will never accept someone like her...."

'Bam!'

Danny flinched while Sunny closed his eyes as a flower vase landed on the floor, shattering to pieces.

...

"When we broke up, you said that your family won't accept someone like me. Now I am with your younger brother," Yu Mei flipped her hair as she glanced at the man who was standing in front of her, "Is that hurting your male ego, huh?"

Jun Zihao's eyes flashed as he looked at the woman who was sitting on the king-sized bed with her legs folded, her words pricking his chest like thorns. 

"Or you simply cannot forget me?" She raised an eyebrow. 

"There is nothing like that. You are exaggerating it," Jun Zihao spoke through gritted teeth. 

"Then, what are you doing in my room? Don't give me the excuse that you are here to meet your brother because I know that you know that he has left the Jun Manor earlier this morning," Jun Zixuan had some important contracts to sign along with the board meeting. Because they were in Amaranthine, Jun Zixuan had Steward Gu make some arrangements in the branch company of Eminence here so that he can handle all his work without wasting much of his time.

After he left, she had her breakfast in the room and she dozed off a little more before taking a shower. Since Jun Zixuan was not there, there were no restrictions on her. She could sleep and eat and dawdle here and there as she wished without being taunted or without being called lazy. 

But little did she expect that she would be greeted by this man's face the moment she stepped out of the bathroom. 

Jun Zihao pursed his lips. He did not know why he was here either. But after knowing that it was her...that she was Han Mei, he could not stop himself from coming here. 

"See, I will speak very clearly," She glanced at his cold face, "Let's stay as far away as possible. I don't want to have anything to do with you."

"Why? Is it because of Su Ning?"

She frowned, "There is nothing between us and it has nothing to do with your fiancée. She is a sweet girl. Hold onto her and don't let her misunderstand you by all this whatever you are doing and acting like a creep."

"Nothing?" Jun Zihao stepped closer to her, "We once dated. We were in a relationship for 3 years. Three fucking years. Does that stands for nothing in your eyes?"

She pushed herself to her feet and adjusted her short floral dress before looking at him uninterestedly, "Although I was a little weak in language subjects, even I understand that 'we were' goes in the third person plural past tense department. Past Tense, I repeat. Just get over it."

"!!!"
