Chapter 359 - Isn’t This The Time When You Come In Handy?

Indeed, not long later, Xiling found out where Kang Anhe’s office was. Duoyao wanted to drive over personally and Xiling followed behind uneasily. Why didn’t Xiling believe she was going to apologize?

“Don’t follow me,” Duoyao said as she turned her head back.

Xiling could tell that something was wrong. She began to feel nervous. “Aren’t you going to apologize? Why don’t you want me tagging along?”

“You don’t need so many people to apologize.” Duoyao got into her car quickly and locked the doors.

Xiling kicked the car door angrily. She knew it. She was definitely lying.

If Jiang Duoyao would apologize, even pigs would fly. To think she actually believed Duoyao.

—————-

At around 5 pm in the afternoon, Kang Anhe received a call from Duoyao in his office. “Why did Miss Jiang suddenly think about calling me?”

“Come down for a while. I’m in the parking lot outside your company,” Duoyao said softly. “Let’s have a talk.”

Kang Anhe was stunned for a while. After that, his lips curled up into a proud smile. “I thought you didn’t want to see me? Why did you suddenly want to talk to me? Did I hear you wrong?”

“You didn’t hear wrong.” Duoyao clenched her teeth. “Are you coming down or not?”

“Apologies. I’m busy right now. Happy waiting.” Kang Anhe hung up proudly. He looked at the time. He must teach her a lesson.

It was the first time he liked a woman so much. He courted her daily and had never been so nice to any woman before. In the end, she actually humiliated him like this.

That’s right. He was narrow-minded. Since he couldn’t have her, he would use petty measures.

At 6:30 pm, Kang Anhe walked out of the elevator dressed in a hand-made suit. He barely took 10 steps out of the elevator when a bucket of red liquid came splashing towards him. He was caught off-guard and was drenched from head to toe.

A foul stench assailed his lips and nostrils. He touched the liquid and didn’t know what it was. It was very slimy and was so revolting he almost vomited.

“Does it smell good? I spent a lot of time in the market looking for this rancid pigs’ blood, dogs’ blood, and cows’ blood. It cost me a lot of money.” A slim woman walked out from the pillar at the side. He could recognize her immediately from her dark and angry eyes. It was Jiang Duoyao. She was holding a bucket in her hand and was wearing a mask and a cap.

“Jiang Duoyao, are you sick?” Kang Anhe almost went crazy. He reached his hand out to grab her furiously.

Duoyao quickly threw the bucket on him before she scrambled into the car and drove off.

Kang Anhe kicked the bucket away furiously. He lowered his head to smell the stench on him and vomited straight away. When the co-workers in his company walked out from the elevator and saw the state he was in, they were all stunned. They wanted to get closer but were unable to stand the stench. “Young Master Kang, what… what happened to you?”

“What do you mean what happened to me? Can’t you tell I got splashed?” Kang Anhe was furious. His face which was stained red by the liquid wasn’t as handsome as it used to be and looked a little revolting.

He swore he would do whatever he could to do Jiang Duoyao in. He was going to make her kneel and beg him.

He took his phone out to call the police when Jiang Duoyao suddenly called again. He clenched his teeth. This darn woman even dared to call him.

He picked it up and before she could say anything, he scolded, “Jiang Duoyao, let me warn you. I won’t let today’s matter rest. It’s illegal for you to do something like this as a public figure. I’m going to make you lose everything.”

“Did you want to call the police? Go ahead,” Duoyao said lazily. “I’m like this anyway; the worst that can happen is for me to be detained for a couple of days and pay a compensation fee. When reporters question me, I’ll say that the young master of Boss Kang wanted to bed me but I rejected him so he wanted to take revenge against me by getting the company to shelve me. In any case, I’m already forced into a corner by you. I have nothing to be afraid of. If there’s anything to be afraid of, it’s that when this matter blows up, the Kang Family will lose face. Let me tell you—I have quite a lot of fans right now. Do you believe me when I say they’ll find trouble with you? Young Master Kang, the fans have been pretty crazy lately. Splashing you with dogs’ blood is relatively mild. I’m just afraid they might even burst your tire or do something to your car.”

“You…”

“Think about it carefully. In any case, since I already dared to do it, I already went all out.” Duoyao hung up and threw her phone aside. Suddenly, she felt that she had vented her anger and was extremely content.

She hated narrow-minded men the most, especially ones who were so good-looking but refused to uphold good conduct. Also, if he was a bad person, God should’ve made him ugly.

…

She drove back to the villa and didn’t expect the light to be on inside. Yan Molun’s car was in the courtyard. She was in disbelief. Could it be that Yan Molun had been at her place all this while?

Just as she was letting her thoughts run wild, the door to the villa opened. Yan Molun had a cigarette in his mouth. He was wearing a pair of jeans and a denim jacket, making him look cold and aloof.

“How did you know I was coming back?” Duoyao was a little dazed from seeing him. She didn’t think he would look so good in denim even at his age.

“I don’t. I’ve just been coming here often recently.” Yan Molun’s voice was hoarse and filled with unhappiness. “You, on the other hand—why didn’t you give me a call when you came back?”

“I also… only came back because I canceled my activities because of some last-minute matters.” Duoyao scratched her head. She was in a bad mood today. “Have you cooked dinner? I’m hungry.”

Yan Molun’s gaze softened the moment he heard her say that. “Not yet.”

“You haven’t made dinner at such a late hour?” Duoyao glared at him. “How can you call yourself my boyfriend?”

Yan Molun hugged her angrily and pinched her cheek. Sure. This woman had become bolder but he liked it. “I thought you weren’t coming back so I was intending to cook something simple.”

“I’m back. You can’t cook something simple anymore. What ingredients do we have?” Duoyao walked into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. Little did she expect there to be quite a variety of ingredients that could all be stored for a long time.

“I’ll make you some chicken soup. Didn’t you say you have a low blood count?” Yan Molun looked at her lightly. “How do you feel now?”

Duoyao didn’t think he would still remember that. She reached out to hug him. “I still have a low blood count. I need supplements. What are you making me?”

Yan Molun opened his mouth and suddenly frowned. He pushed her away a little. “Why do you have such a foul smell?”

Duoyao was stunned. She quickly lowered her head to smell herself. There was no smell on her clothes. Maybe it was her hands. She sniffed a little and almost vomited. “It is pretty smelly. Then you can prepare dinner while I take a shower.”

She fled upstairs after saying that.

Yan Molun took out the frozen chicken and cooked the rice. After cutting up the vegetables, the doorbell suddenly rang.

He went over to look and saw a familiar face, so he opened the door. Before he could see her, he heard Xiling’s angry voice. “Jiang Duoyao, you troublemaker. Come out here right now.”

She pushed the door open aggressively but didn’t see Jiang Duoyao. Instead, he saw a towering figure looming at the doorstep. Her legs went to jelly and she stuttered, “Mr. Yan, you’re here too. You two… don’t tell me you two are living together?”

“Mm.” Yan Molun nodded. His gaze was slightly apathetic. “What trouble did she cause?”

Xiling felt awkward. After all, it involved Kang Anhe and she didn’t know whether she should say it.

Just then, the bedroom door opened. Duoyao came out wearing a cute pajama set. She was in a pretty good mood and was even humming a little tune.

Xiling clenched her teeth and walked over. If it weren’t for Yan Molun, she would’ve really pulled Duoyao’s ears. “Jiang Duoyao, I knew it, you lied to me. Sister Shuang gave me a good dressing down just now. Are you mad? Didn’t the trip to Tibet teach you enough of a lesson?”

“I’m not crazy.” Duoyao sat on the couch. She was currently very happy. “It’s precisely because of the trip to Tibet that I felt nothing could be worse than over there.”

Xiling pounded her chest. She was about to go crazy. “Do you know that whatever you did thoroughly offended CEO Kang? He said he wants to ban you. In the past, you were still able to get some events. In the future, you might not even have event jobs.”

“How were those events? I merely go to show my face.” Duoyao scoffed. “And they pay so little. If this goes on, do you know what the media is going to write? They’re going to write about how pitiful I am, the dire straits that I’m in.”

“You’ll be in even more dire straits in the future,” Xiling chided angrily.

“I’ve decided to terminate my contract.” Duoyao lifted her head and said, “It’s stated in the contract that the company has to arrange good opportunities for me, but they didn’t fulfill their end of the agreement and even gave my positions to others. I can put forth my termination based on this clause.”

“The company won’t let the matter rest and it will be a long case. Once you’re embroiled in this dispute, no one will dare to approach you for drama shoots and commercial endorsements if you don’t have contacts.” Xiling tried to persuade her. “There are people who’ve tried terminating their contracts with the company before you, but didn’t you see what state they ended up in? If the company has the ability to boost you up, it can also bring you down.”

Duoyao’s brows were tightly knitted. Suddenly, she turned her head to look at Yan Molun. Seeing that he had been standing at the side, smoking, she said angrily, “Isn’t this the time when you come in handy?”

“Am I only handy when it comes to this?” Yan Molun raised his brows.

Duoyao pouted. “Yeah. And also to send me to see Hades.”
