Chapter 86 - Need to cleanse impure mind

Yuhan was looking at Xu Nuan expectantly, waiting for her to agree to have breakfast with them when he heard a cold voice from behind. 

" There is no need. She hasn't done her jogging yet." Han Zihao walked towards them as he said.

Yuhan turned around and his expressions fell seeing Han Zihao standing there. He turned to look at Xu Nuan and saw her grinning at the man who appeared out of nowhere.

Similarly, Gu Xingren who was glaring at Xu Nuan to deny Yuhan's breakfast offer was shocked to see Han Zihao walking towards them.

Han Zihao casually walked to Xu Nuan and stood beside her, marking his territory.

" Mr. Han, You...are here with Xu Nuan?" Gu Xingren asked in shock. She didn't think much about them during the banquet. Even though Zhu Ai said that Xu Nuan was trying to seduce Han Zihao, he is not someone to be seduced by someone like Xu Nuan. She didn't even know what Han Zihao had said to Old Gu and Yuhan that day.

She was thinking of him as acquaintances with Xu Nuan but the way he stood beside her, made her feel a little doubtful. Even if he was just trying to push Zhu Ai away that day, why is he with Xu Nuan here? He doesn't need to come to the park with Xu Nuan just to compensate for the accident. What is their relationship exactly?

Han Zihao was about to respond, when Xu Nuan said, " I think it's a good idea. I am quite hungry you know. Mr. Han, I think you really 'loved' jogging, so you should go and continue doing so. And I will go and have breakfast with Yuhan." she said.

She raised her brows at Han Zihao, showing him her displeasure. How can he leave her like that? She was there for him and he knows that but he still went to workout alone. What a heartless man.

"-_-"

Han Zihao stared at her and gritted his teeth. He came here to handle the situation so she doesn't have to stick with the people she doesn't like but she was pushing him away? Didn't she say that she will woo him? What happened to her goal now?

Yuhan beamed and said, " Yes. Mr. Han, you can go and continue your jogging. We will go our way. Let's go Xu Nuan." he added and wanted to go away from Han Zihao.

Gu Xingren frowned and said, " Yuhan, what are you saying? Mr. Han is Xu Nuan's friend. You can't say that. Mr. Han, please don't mind my sister's rude behavior. Ah, did I introduce myself to you? I am Gu Xingren, heiress of.." she said while stretching her hand for a handshake.

" I know..who you are Ms.Gu," he said indifferently. However, his tone made her remember that Han Zihao probably knows her real identity after what happened at the hospital after Xu Nuan woke up from the coma.

Xingren awkwardly took her hand back and said, " Erm...I think we all should go and have breakfast together. It's not like we get this opportunity every day. Right Xu Nuan?" she eyes her to agree to her arrangement. 

She remembered her father, Gu Zhang had mentioned about the construction tender whose decision has been pushed back and it was again under consideration about who will get the construction tender from Han Corporations. Although she has university to attend, she also goes to the office whenever she can to learn work and is handling a few projects over there as well. 

She needs to grasp the power in the company to not let Xu Naun beat her to this. The old man can do everything to make Xu Nuan be accepted by everyone but if she gets the power in the company, then Xu Nuan can do nothing to her. If she can make Han Zihao agree to give tender to Gu's then it will increase her position in the company instantly.

Xu Nuan smirked as she looked at Gu Xingren. She could see through her actions. She was planning something fishy and it was so obvious from her expressions. She would be stupid to go for breakfast with her. She agreed previously just to get back on Han Zihao. It's not that she would have gone there to ruin her morning.

" Gu Xingren thanks for inviting us. But I don't think I could have my breakfast in peace with you. So it's better to part ways here for everyone's mental peace. Bye. Let's not see each other again." she grinned and turned around to leave, leaving everyone in surprise.

No one has expected this response from her, especially when she agreed for breakfast earlier. 

Han Zihao chuckled and followed her to start another lap of his jogging and her first lap. Xu Nuan was jogging as slow as she could while Han Zihao had a hard time keeping his pace with her. Who is wooing whom? Why the hell was he jogging at her pace?

For the next few days, Xu Nuan always sent him a good morning and good night text which he never replied to. Although she hated these cringey things, she just tried for fun. Because she can imagine his frowning face which makes her laugh.

When she arrived at the office, she found the atmosphere strange and suffocating. Everyone was staring at her with worried expressions. 

She went to the receptionist and asked in a low voice, " What's going on? Did something happen?"

The receptionist pursed her lips and looked at her worriedly before leaning forward and said, " Xu Nuan, you're girls are in trouble. They ordered pizza and other junk food last night and ate in the practice room. However, one of the girls from Ms. Wang's group saw them and complained about it to her. They are being lectured by Ms. Wang now."

" Also, Ms. Wang's mood was not good since morning. Seems like your girls are going to suffer from Ms. Wang today," she said while looking at her worriedly.

Xu Nuan frowned and murmured, " Seems like it's gonna be an eventful morning."

Wang Meili's office

Wang Meili was sitting on her chair as she glanced at the four girls who were standing in front of her with their heads held down and hands clasped submissively in front. 

She scoffed and said in a low dangerous voice, " Pizza? Pasta, huh? You know that no outside food is allowed in the practice room, don't you? Yet you went against the rules and ordered food. Do you know that you are going to debut within two months and yet you're not thinking about your figure? At this moment, seeing your figures you should survive on a sweet potato and apple and should dance for 12 hours a day but here you're eating junk food."

" Do you know that despite being skinny and beautiful, my girls only eat salad and sweet potatoes? They can't even stand the smell of such food and yet you're eating in the practice room?"

" Especially you Lai Yi. You're the fattest member of the group. Have you seen yourself in the mirror? Do you think you're going to make it big with this ugly face and fat appearance? No. You're just wasting everyone's time and energy. Because of you, the other girls have to face the downfall as well." she said while looking at her with disgust expressions.

Lai Yi bit her lower lip as tears of humiliation filled in her eyes. She knows that she is not that pretty for an idol and such comments keep trampling over her self confidence. Song Ai who was listening to all this glanced at her which made her clench her fist. She could see her shivering shoulders and how hard she was struggling to control her tears.

" Ms. Wang, sorry to interrupt but your words are too harsh. We know that what we did is wrong but you have no right to attack Lai Yi personally. Also, she is not ugly. And if you think she is, then it's your personal opinion. People see everyone how they see themselves. I think you need to meditate and cleanse your mindset before calling someone ugly. Your mind is filled with lots of impurities and that's why she looks ugly to you." she said calmly with her straight face.

"-_-"

"-_-"

The other girls were shocked to hear such words from Song Ai. Even though she is the eldest and their leader, she has always been a bubbly and cheerful person. She never shouted at them and calling out Wang Meili for her rude words was quite courageous of her.

Wang Meili gritted her teeth and looked at the girl who said those words with her poker face. She was the eldest and she used to think of her as a nice girl who has a decent face and figure. But she never thought that her tongue was so sharp. No trainee has ever spoken to her like this before. 

"You...what did you say? Huh?"
