In the restroom, I overheard Lin Huirong discussing me with her colleagues. She claimed that I was having an affair with the General Manager! I felt particularly angry upon hearing this, but I couldn't confront her loudly. After all, I was now married to Chen Haotian! I had to be mindful of my words and actions.
Suppressing my anger, I walked out of the restroom. Lin Huirong and her colleagues looked at me in surprise. I calmly said, "If you have any questions, you can directly ask the General Manager." With that, I turned and left the restroom. My colleagues stared in astonishment as I walked away.
I knew they were gossiping about me behind my back, but I didn't care! My relationship with Chen Haotian was a legitimate marriage! No matter how much they talked about me, it didn't matter! However, this incident quickly spread throughout the company. Wherever I went, I could hear people whispering about me! They said I had seduced the General Manager and that I had used underhanded tactics to rise in rank!
I felt incredibly wronged because my relationship with Chen Haotian was a lawful marriage! But I couldn't just tell everyone the truth. All I could do was endure these rumors!
After a long day at work, I dragged my weary body home. As soon as I stepped through the door, I saw Mother Chen Haotian and my father sitting on the sofa, their expressions serious.
I looked at them in confusion. "Uncle, Auntie, what brings you here?"
Mother Chen Haotian sighed. "Xiao Ran, Haotian has gotten into some trouble."
I was taken aback. "Trouble?"
She nodded. "Yes. He just received a phone call and rushed out."
"It seems that Zhu Zixuan came looking for him."
I furrowed my brow. "Who is Zhu Zixuan?"
Mother Chen Haotian explained, "She is Haotian's childhood sweetheart. She has liked to cling to him since they were young."
"Haotian has always had a hard time dealing with her."
I paused for a moment. "Childhood sweetheart?"
She nodded again. "Yes. Haotian has never liked her."
"But their families are close friends, so Haotian has always been polite to her."
I nodded in understanding. "Got it."
Mother Chen Haotian sighed once more. "Xiao Ran, don’t worry. Haotian only has you in his heart."
I nodded, but I still felt a bit anxious. After all, Chen Haotian and that woman were childhood sweethearts!
Feeling a sense of unease, I thought to myself.
Father Chen Haotian said with a stern face, "You should ask Haotian to clarify this matter."
Mother Chen Haotian shot him a glare, "Why are you being so harsh?"
"Xiao Ran hasn't done anything wrong!"
Father Chen Haotian sighed helplessly, "Alright, I was wrong."
Mother Chen Haotian took my hand again and comforted me, "Xiao Ran, don't worry."
"Haotian only has eyes for you."
I nodded, "Mm."
The next morning, I went to work.
As soon as I walked into the office area, I noticed a strange woman.
She was impeccably dressed, stylishly attired, and carried a designer handbag.
She walked straight to my workstation, drawing the attention of my colleagues around us.
Removing her sunglasses, she looked at me disdainfully and asked, "Are you Shi Ran?"
I looked at her in confusion, "Who are you?"
The woman scoffed, "I am Chen Haotian's fiancée!"
At her words, my colleagues were shocked!
They all knew about my relationship with Chen Haotian!
After all, many had seen him pick me up from work that day!
But no one expected this woman to be his fiancée!
I was taken aback for a moment but then smiled, "Oh, really?"
The woman looked at me with disdain, "Absolutely!"
"I grew up with Haotian!"
"We are the perfect match!"
I smiled calmly and replied, "Oh, really?"
The woman snorted coldly, "Absolutely!"
